I love the food from Ly Heng, they are unique in lot of way (cooking method, flavor, the soup), when you order an item, the item will come look exactly same as the menu, very appetizing. Both chicken wing and calamari appetizer are flavorful with right amount of garlic and pepper to boost the aroma.
Then come to the best part, the bone soup. When you order ride dish, usually it will come with a bowl of pork bone soup, the meat are very tender and tasty, the soup have good amount of fish sauce to help on the umami side.
Every rice dish is huge, but Hainan chicken and combination fried rice are my favorite by far.

Food was good, I got the beef and rice. Great sauce, a bit sweet but good. Service was friendly, nothing special. Good quantity for the price, worth a visit.

This place is quaint but pumps out delicious food. If you don't get the salt and pepper squid you will regret it. I was told by a friend of mine that they sell out of the squid all the time. It is so much better than Italian calamari. I can't really explain how delicious it is, you just got to come here and try it. Parking is a challenge since it's all street parking in City heights so don't bring your nice car. Will definitely go back again.

First and foremost, amazing value! They really pile on the food for the price it’s kind of crazy how much will still be left in your plate after you finish your meal. The food is also DELICIOUS!! I definitely recommend the stir fry noodle with egg noodles and beef, and the house fried rice is a heaping plate of flavor. It’s a small family owned restaurant and they deserve every star, definitely bring your family and friends here :)

Food taste's great, portions size is great, only bad thing is if you wanna order by phone they never pick up, I have actually talked to actual staff about the issue and it has never changed, so don't waste your time trying to order by phone, just head straight there! My brother loves the house fried rice, I like the beef fried rice, my sister likes the fried calamari!

Came here around 5:30 on a Friday a little bit after they opened for the evening hours. I was the first customer for the evening so service was fine. Food also came out fast. I had the beef sate with thick egg noodles. Fresh, yet savory and slightly spicy, about a 4/10 on the spicy scale. It comes with a side of pork and broth, which was also delicious. It was my first time here and I'll definitely be back!
