    shrimp spring roll
    Najeya K.

    5 Stars!!!! This little hole-in-the-wall pho spot has been my go-to. The house pho is soooo delicious. The broth is perfect. The noodles are perfect. The meat is perfect. You can count on this place to never miss the mark.

    I was feeling a little under the weather so decided to get a good bowl of Pho. Ktown Pho was def able to satisfy my cravings without driving to SGV. I ordered the Seafood pho, the broth was amazing but they were a lil skimpy of the seafood. That would be my only critique. Otherwise go check them out!

    A small vietnamese pho restaurant in Korean town. Food was good and service was wonderful. Our server Thao was very friendly.

    Delicious pho with perfectly springy noodles. I had the seafood in vegan broth and it truly hit the spot. There are various options, including for vegans. Service was polite and helpful. The atmosphere was calm and quiet when we arrived, but got busier at the lunch rush. It's a little confusing getting in from Western Ave. We were unsure if it was the entrance for the restaurant or the dog shop. Just keep walking back and you'll find it.

    K Town Pho was very yummy!

    The pho ga was a nice and light broth with good flavors, good noodles texture, and good overall toppings and ingredients. The service was attentive and polite, the interior was a medium sized restaurant with good amount of seating, and it was pretty good overall. I didn't know there was peanuts in the chili oil so I had a bit of an allergic reaction, but it was small enough to warrant no commotion/ no complaints. Please put a sign that it has peanuts in it

    Pork banh mi
    Sierra J.

    Stopped into Ktown Pho because I was craving a banh mi. I believe it's only street parking but luckily I was able to snag a spot nearby. The restaurant is very casual and gives off "hole in the wall" vibes. I ordered the pork banh mi and it was delicious! I really loved that the meat had no chewy or fatty pieces and the bread was perfectly fresh. My only complaint is that I wish the sando had a bit more meat, but at $10 I can't complain! I'm already looking forward to the next time I come back, as I could smell the pho broth need to try it asap!

    Best Pho I've had in Los Angeles! I typically come here with my friend I always order the chicken pho and the broth is so delicious. It's a pretty small establishment but that doesn't take away from how delicious the food is! I will always come back to Ktown Pho for my monthly fix.

    House Special Pho

    My friend and I got the House Special Pho and it was great. Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Looking forward to returning

    Sooo crazy good!!! Not sure why still an unknown sleeper but cannot argue how tender soft and delicious the meat quality here!!! Portions have definitely shrank but staff and ownership are still super nice and accommodating!! Highly recommended!! Street parking recommended but they do have an oddly shaped super busy back parking lot!!

    Came here for my birthday. Cute no frills pho place that gets busy very quickly. Pho is amazing and doesn't taste like spices looked at some water

    A small pho restaurant located in Korean town, hence, the name! Everyone there is extremely welcoming, service was wonderful. The pho portion is extremely generous, so I do recommend you go on an empty stomach. I live that you can request for extra toppings and they aren't stingy! Broth is rich in flavor and they have all the sauces to add to your liking. Now that's it's getting cold out, I will be visiting more often. Parking is a bit of a hassle, but you can find street parking depending on the day and time you go.

    Oxtail Pho Duoi Bo
    Azy G.

    I have dined here a few times and it hits every time! This is definitely the best in all of Koreatown and the broth flavors are always so rich. I've had oxtail, ribeye, and chicken pho from here and all were amazing, service is great too! It is a chill small spot with a nice vibe. It's a bit small inside and Friday nights + weekends expect a wait -- just know it's worth it everytime.

The pho noodles here are distinctly wider than most of the other pho spots. The broth was delicious and it was a very satisfying pho although there could have been a few more slices of beef. My dining mates that had the banh mi were also happy with their choices and the one that had the Spring Rolls felt it was sufficient enough to be a meal. Service was attentive and quick. Given the choice between inside and the patio we chose the patio which has a bit more vibe. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is metered parking on both sides of La Brea and some parking can be found in the residential neighborhood adjacent. All round good choice for Vietnamese food in the area.

I can't believe it's been 12 years--and I'm so happy to say it was every bit as incredible as I remembered. My friend and I came for lunch. I ordered the vegetable pho, and she had the curry rice. Both dishes were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, comforting, and beautifully prepared. Honestly, I wish we had more time because we had another appointment downtown. I would have loved to try more dishes and definitely dessert! Our server was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and incredibly professional. He checked on us at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. The service was as impressive as the food. The restaurant has such a warm, relaxing atmosphere. I especially loved the beautiful ceramic water cups with bird designs--they were so unique and charming. Even the water tasted wonderful! I'm thrilled that Au Lac is still thriving after all these years. If anything, the food tasted even better than I remembered. I certainly won't wait another 12 years before coming back. In fact, I was so impressed that I convinced my husband to come with me next Saturday for dinner! I've tried many vegan restaurants over the years, and Au Lac remains my absolute favorite. My favorite on the Westside is Variable Café, but if you're willing to drive a little farther, Au Lac is on another level. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Whether you're vegan or not, this place is truly outstanding. Five stars without hesitation!

The taste was overwhelmingly salty--more like salted pork than the sweet, rich flavor I was expecting from caramelized pork.
