Lau And Oc By Pho4real

I would definitely recommend coming here not so close to closing time. We came with another hour before they closed but you can tell that they didn't really want to serve us. We did have a bigger table, about 12 of us. The whole restaurant had tables that were all dirty and not cleaned. They had to quickly clean a table for us. Did not bring enough utensils or plates. We ordered a snail dish with ginger and lemongrass (Oc Huong) which was delicious if you like snails Green mango with shrimp was pretty taste so we ordered 2 of those. We did two lau, a catfish sour (canh chua) hot pot soup and mushroom with seafood. They forgot to bring out the veggies for the sour one until we asked. No rice either. Ordered the caramelized fish to go with canh chua. Overall great food, poor service. I found out there's other locations in Vegas so when we go back will have to try a different location.

I loved this place! I was craving coconut snails so I stumbled upon this spot on yelp. I was a little skeptical about the cleanliness since I read there was an off putting smell when you walk in or in the bathroom but I didn't smell anything bad at all. Service was awesome. There was a lady and a man who took turns serving us. She was great at recommending what was popular. One thing she recommended was the grilled sea snails with black pepper and OMG it was hands down the best thing we ordered. So good we got a second serving. The thing I went for was the coconut snails and it ended up being my least favorite. It was just so hard to eat. The meat was just stuck in the shell and it was all inedible.Other dishes we got were the clams Thai style and the hot pot. The clams were served in a delicious broth very close to Tom yum but a tad on the sweeter side. Overall it was a meal that totally hit the spot. I plan on taking my parents when they visit.My only complaint was the music was super loud.

OMG absolutely delicious. I don't typically eat snail and other shell fish but this place make them so incredibly delicious.I never care for abalone until I had their grilled abalone with the green sauce. So amazingly good. Nice flavor with a good lunch.The hot pot is yummy as well but the abalone was for sure a highlight. We got the fermented fish hot pot.Environment is very nice and clean. Hostess is very friendly as well.

Stopped here on one of our dinners to try something different. Upon walking in, we were hit with the smell of durian. I actually like durian but some of my group did not, so I am mentioning it to let the owners know because it is a strong smell that not everyone can handle. The place was very bright and had a lot of Vietnamese style tapas drinking dishes. My personal favorite dishes were the coconut snails and the mango salad with dried shrimp. The balut in tamarind sauce was ok I have had better. The Thai hot pot was also OK. Our favorite grilled crustacean was the Oc Canada. It had a mild taste and was easy to get out of it's shell. We also ordered fried frog legs and it never came out and had tossed the receipt, so unsure if we were charged or not. Parking was ample and location was easy to find about 10 mins from the strip. Overall, decent place to try out but would probably only stick with the favorites.

Oc is not very fresh and too much seasoning. A bit overpriced, even compared to the Bay area
