Le’v is a rare intimate spot that delivers an exceptional izakaya-style dining experience. The food is outstanding across the board. The coriander salad is delicious and refreshing, a bright start to our dining experience. The wagyu pho stands out as a rich, comforting highlight—beautifully balanced and deeply flavorful. Incredible variety of seafood dishes, each prepared with care and a clear respect for freshness and texture. Excellent service and thoughtfully crafted dishes.

This restaurant is creative somehow for some dishes while others are a little disappointed. This place wanted to position itself as fine dining but failed to make dishes delicate. The food quality is good but cannot say stunning yet. However it does feel homie and private as it only has about 10 seats by the counter.
I’m disappointed with the served hot tea which was told that they cannot be refilled which is a major turned off at any restaurant. Later we found out that the tea was actually warmed up directly from the liter bottles of green tea from supermarket instead of boiling one from tea leaves.
The lady chef is polite and nice but the guy chef needs to serve a little better for a $35 grilled chicken instead of a $9 one.
The grilled chicken is just normal and overpriced for the favor no different from other grilled chicken.
The only better one is the crab meat broken rice in clay pot. It’s the highlight of the dinner.
The space is too tight. The music is too loud. When the music stopped the cook didn’t realize for 15 min before she turned back the Spotify on again.
The cook failed to realize the AC was not turned on by the entrance side as the space was quite warm by the entrance side. Overall the chefs are polite and welcoming but felt inexperienced in serving.
There are things to improve there.

Cozy place for a casual izakaya dinner featuring Vietnam taste. Friendly chefs and service staff. Good night out for my party of 4.

This cosy hideout restaurant is a must-try. Food is impressive with a good combo of sauces to make your taste buds dance. Authentic stuff and totally a refreshing break from the norm. The fish roe is crazy good and the crab soup taste rich and like the real stuff. Wagyu beef pho is a treat with chillis imported from Vietnam which will bring your spice level higher and lower into yourself at the same time... totally a great place to come back again for a special night out.

Small private space that serves a decent variety of Japanese-Vietnamese izakaya dishes that were very tasty. The owners are very welcoming and friendly so you will always have a good time there. It’s a small space so make sure to reserve before you go! The fried quail dish is a must try for me and from what I heard, it’s been specially imported from Vietnam. So what’s not to love when it’s fresh and so hard to find? Not the mention the Wagyu beef claypot rice as well, it’s crispy and cooked to perfection and when they end off with some beef stock soup, it’s so comforting.

What a hidden cozy gem in Orchard Plaza! My first time trying Vietnamese Izakaya and the experience at Le’V definitely did not disappoint.
From the well curated menu, to the delicious dishes and the BEST hospitality, we can’t wait to visit again!
Just some of our favourites: Coriander salad, rice paper salad, Tonkin flower, Wagyu beef in lot lot leaves, lollipop chicken, foie gras spring roll, Wagyu beef claypot rice, crab claypot rice… and if you’re lucky, try the mochi dessert if it’s available 😋😋😋

Cozy Vietnamese izakaya with an extensive menu. Menu was really well thought through and the food was delicious. Definitely a place to
chill with your friends throughout the night! Will definitely be back to try more from the menu.
To note: The place seats about 12-15pax so best to make reservations
Must try: Wagyu beef claypot broken rice, cockles (specials), Tonkin flower with beef (unique veg, quite addictive)
Wagyu beef claypot rice - light yet flavourful, beef was tender and I like that there were crispy rice bits mixed in for extra texture. Towards the end they also offer soup to be mixed in with your rice, so comforting!
Cockles - was a specials that day and though I’m not a cockles person, I enjoyed it! Might ask for it to be cooked slightly longer but it was yummy, good in size and most importantly - clean and well washed!

Small cosy Vietnamese/Japanese Izakaya that’s worth a visit because the food is delicious!
And feel free to ask Elly for recommendations. You will sometimes get surprises that are not on the menu.

Job well done! Never thought vietnam and japanese fusion would be such a bomb. Perfectly executed and not pretentious like many other fusion food. The chef owners are lovely which takes the restaurant service on another level and not replicable

Fantastic Vietnamese Izakaya style concept. Most items are made the Vietnamese way, using high quality Japanese ingredients. Highly recommend. Especially their Wagyu pho! Each dish left me wanting more. Owners Elly and Lous were both fantastic as well. Great service!
