Lê’s Vietnamese Cuisine

LÊ’S VIETNAMESE CUISINE would probably be a raging success even if it served nothing but pho, the great Vietnamese noodle soup that depends on exactly the kind of light but flavorful broth the kitchen delivers. But Lê’s does so much more, serving up terrific fresh rolls, salads, stir-fries, wheat noodle and rice vermicelli dishes, rice plates, caramelized fish dishes, and hot pots. Comparatively upscale locations (in Allston, Harvard Square, and Chestnut Hill) and the availability of beer and wine doubtless reinforce its appeal with American customers.
