Since then, the quality has dropped across the board. The noodles were hard and had a plastic-like texture, the meat was no longer juicy or flavorful, and even the spring rolls weren't as good as they used to be.

This used to be one of my favorite spots, but unfortunately it just isn't the same anymore. Let me tell you this is after I heated the broth and blanch the noodles

Though right on La Brea, there was plenty of street metered spots right out front when we came by on a Sunday afternoon. The crispy egg rolls were delicious, and both of our soups were pretty good.

I would come back for the bon rieu, but as we are on the hunt for a good pho spot, may need to keep looking.

The restaurant is beautifully designed, very well kept, and has a classy, relaxing atmosphere that makes it perfect for a date night or special meal. We started with appetizers, including the shrimp appetizer, which was easily the highlight of the meal 10/10. It was incredibly flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. We also had the Bird's Eye Tofu appetizer, which I'd give an 8/10. It had great flavor with a nice kick, and I really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I tried the Yellow Noodle Tofu, which was a 9/10. The noodles were packed with flavor and made for a satisfying, delicious dish. My date ordered the lemongrass fish, served with black rice, mixed vegetable soup, and a refreshing side of cucumber, tomato, pickled onions, and carrots. He rated it a 9/10 and really enjoyed the balance of flavors and generous portions. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere was elegant, and the service made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend Au Lac to anyone looking for a delicious vegan meal in Los Angeles, and I'll absolutely be back!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cute atmosphere, with great lunch specials…read more The hubby and I were looking for a good lunch spot in the area and Vietnamese sounded really good. The space was very cute, with great light from the windows and fun personal photos and memorabilia. We were pleasantly surprised by their $20 lunch specials and decided to take advantage. You get three items, one from each category: starters, half size pho, and beverage. I got the spring rolls, veg pho and iced coffee; the hubby got the half veg banh mi, veg pho, and a coke. The food was good and the portions were more than enough. We actually ended up taking some of the starters home. A very good value and friendly service. Lastly, gotta give it up for their shirt with the OutKast reference. Peace out.

2026 update review: Pho Saigon Pearl has weekday lunch…read morespecial that is $20 which is the right price for me to leave the office and have lunch here. It is also the PERFECT size for me. You get to choose three items- a smaller portioned solid dish, a smaller serving of pho and a drink. I forgot to take a pic of the menu but today I ordered half of a portion of grilled pork bahn mi, brisket pho and Vietnamese iced coffee and it was just perfect! All the greatest hits, no leftovers, at a great price. There are plenty of room for lunch so you won't be waiting too long. You should be able to be in and out in an hour. Servers are friendly as always and if i am not mistaken, they installed a large TV monitor (or maybe i never noticed it until now LOL.)

The spot was mostly empty when my girlfriend and I arrived for dinner around 5:30pm on a Saturday. We ordered with the host and picked out a table by the window to people watch while we waited for our food. We waited only maybe 10 minutes before the pho, vermicelli, and spring roles were served. Each dish was colorful, had great presentation, and nice portions for the price. The pho we ordered was spicy level hot and did have well done broth and a good amount of sliced steak. The protein was tender, and the veggie toppings added great elements of minty crunch and herbal delight. I enjoyed my combination noodles. The bowl had a good mix of vegetables and a few types of protein ( chicken, pork, fried egg roll, and shrimp ) it was awesome! The spring rolls were terrific as well. The peanut sauce had some nut crumbles for texture which had subtle crunch with every spring role bite. The food was good, staff was great, and I'd consider coming back if ever in the area again with a Vietnam craving.

I've tried a lot of food here, but the items I keep coming back for are their grilled pork (nem nuong) spring rolls and bun bo hue.

For around $18, the meal came with two eggs and what I can only describe as rubbery pork. While the eggs were decent, the meat was a huge letdown. It had an off-putting texture that made me question whether it was an older or inferior cut. The taste was overwhelmingly salty--more like salted pork than the sweet, rich flavor I was expecting from caramelized pork. To top it off, I spent over $40 something dollars for my meal and for Postmates delivery to the South Bay, which makes this disappointment even harder to swallow. I'm not sure I'd order from Be U again unless someone else is footing the bill. I really wanted to enjoy this meal, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. If you're craving Vietnamese food, you might want to explore other options.

The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and has a really nice atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. They take the time to offer recommendations and help you decide if you're unsure what to order, which is something I really appreciate when dining out. Some of my favorites are the shrimp salad rolls with their delicious peanut sauce, the spicy edamame, the spicy chicken wings, the shrimp fried rice, and my absolute favorite is the sizzling spicy barbecue pork hot pan. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their Thai tea is always refreshing, and from time to time I stop by just to grab one of their Vietnamese coffees, which never disappoints. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food with amazing flavors, generous portions, and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend giving The Sister's Café a try!
