Amazing Soft Shell Crab, Shrimp Vermicelli
Wan-Yu L.

My friend and I both thoroughly enjoyed the food here! We each got a vermicelli bowl, which was super fresh and refreshing for the hot summer day. I also ordered the soft shell crab, and it was fried perfectly and packed with flavor. The server was nice and attentive.

Small pho restaurant in Larchmont. Ordered the viet iced coffee and the house special beef pho. Broth was delicious, portion was really generous, beef rib was fall off the bone tender. So glad we found this spot have been looking for a good pho spot in LA, will definitely be back!

Chicken Vermicelli

If you're in the @larchmontvillage area, don't PHO-get to check out @pho.lavache ! This hidden gem features an extensive menu selection of Vietnamese dishes, ranging from pho, spring rolls, banh mi, sizzling plates to vermicelli. I was pleasantly surprised at how authentic and well-made all the dishes I tried were, and I would highly recommend their beef medley house special soup and house made egg rolls. Service was SO sweet and attentive, and I'll definitely be back to support such an underrated and kind Asian-owned business when I'm in the area! Only downside is that parking can be tough on weekends/busy times, so I recommend parking down the street and walking over a few blocks!

The Classic Pho with brisket, rare beef, and meatballs.
Joyce T.

Surprisingly decent pho in the middle of Larchmont! The broth was light yet flavorful, and the meats were perfect with a squeeze of hot sauce and oyster sauce and lime. Service was friendly but not quick. The restaurant has a nice relaxed vibe and it's a nice place to enjoy a warm bowl of pho on a cold day. Prices are steep (to be expected for the area) but overall a good experience.

I'm so happy to find a good pho spot near by! This is in the Larchmont village by the very end! You are lucky to get street parking a couple blocks down, but that's not very hard to find! We got the Thai tea which is super delicious and not too sweet! The spicy tuna rice was an excellent choice to start with! And the fresh shrimp spring rolls were a delight as well! This place is super cozy and spacious with indoor and outdoor seating! It looks like people are in the neighborhood. Come here often! The soup portions let's talk about that is huge! This will make 2-3 meals. The broth itself is super clean and to tasty! Good for when you're hung over or sick, or just in dire need of some warm soup and noodles! This place is super amazing. The staff are really friendly and super accommodating! Definitely will be back when I crave pho!

House Made Egg Roll
Michael L.

We ordered beef medley,classic,egg roll and thai tea. Never seen any pho restaurants that has Oxtail and Ribs together. Soup was not too deep or light it was somewhere in between and it was perfect for me. I think they make their own eggroll it was super goooooooood!!! And finally thai tea... i usually don't order thai tea because it's too sweet but their tea is not too sweet i loved it will try different pho next time

Shrimp Summer Roll
Dave B.

Great addition to the neighborhood. The Pho is light and tasty. And the Shrimp Summer Roll, well I wish it was the never ending summer roll. Haha. The owner is thoughtful and kind. Larchmont welcomes you!

Menu as of May 2024

I went to larchmont today craving sushi at Muraya, but was in shock to see that it has now become a pho place. It seemed a bit out of place for larchmont but I decided to give it a try since I'm a huge fan of pho. I got their special, the Beef Medley House Special, because I love my meats. It had a huge rib, oxtail, brisket, etc. At first, I thought it was a bit pricey for $24 but once I saw the amount of meat it came with, I felt like it was actually a pretty good deal!! The broth is soooo rich and flavorful. Unlike some places that use a lot of MSG or powder stock, I can tell this place actually made their broth from scratch!! I also tried the egg rolls and the grilled sausage rolls, they were both delicious!! Service was amazing as usual (I think they're the same owners as Muraya as I noticed some of the items were still available on the menu!! They still have the crispy rice, my all time fave, and the stone hot pots) I will definitely be coming back to Pho La Vache. I'm happy I don't need to drive to OC for pho now :) There aren't too many good pho places in the area that hit the spot but this is probably going to be my new go to spot for pho.

Seafood stone pot (Pho in the background)
Katie H.

We have come here twice now- once for takeout and a second for eating in. We definitely recommend eating in! The staff is so incredibly kind and was quick to help us have the best experience possible. The pho is delightful - we ordered the classic with a mix of brisket and rare steak which we liked more than the chicken on takeout. House egg roll was lovely - you wrap the egg roll in lettuce to enjoy! Stone pot was a fun experience, seafood came with shrimp and crab. A smaller dish compared to the pho but still filling. We will definitely be back on the next chilly evening in Larchmont Village

Pho with Chicken Breast, 5 stars!
Scott J.

This Pho restaurant is located in the heart of the shopping area of Larchmont and is serving up classic Pho and Vietnamese items. The interior is casual but nice and extremely clean. I ordered the Pho w chicken breast and thought it was great! The service was outstanding! Our waitress could not have been nicer, water glasses were never empty, she was just lovely. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for amazing Vietnamese food.

Be careful about the 22% mandatory gratuity!!!! Classic Pho , Beef Medley House Special Soup, Chicken Vermicelli

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.

Twelve years ago, I fell in love with Au Lac and wrote a glowing review. Living on LA's Westside, I…read morerarely make it to Downtown, so today was my first visit back since then. 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!

I came to Au Lac again to celebrate my bday with a friend before a show at the Music Center. Au Lac…read moredoesn't take reservations. My friend had the tofu, house salad. She said the house salad was better the last time she came bc the lettuce was different. She recalled it was Romaine lettuce last time. This time it was a green salad. I had the lemongrass fish which was made of soybean. It was a little too dry and rubbery for me. I kept putting it in my soup with rice to make it taste better, but ran out of soup. I won't be ordering this dish again. I took half home, cut up the soybean fish and added it to a stew. I didn't mention to my server that it was my bday, but was disappointed that he didn't even offer like regular servers do, "Would you like to see the dessert menu?" I didn't tell him it was my bday nor did I ask for the dessert menu bc I wasn't the one paying the bill. Not that I needed dessert, but it would've been nice to have been asked. When I mentioned this to another server who came by to clear our table that our server didn't even ask if we wanted dessert and that the restaurant doesn't seem to want to push its desserts, he quickly brought us a dessert menu, but my friend was already paying our bill - too late! It would've been nice to be asked earlier. I even had candles in my bag just in case we got dessert. Anyway, this server said he'll tell our server about not offering dessert. The next day I came back with another friend after a Music Center event. My server from the day before recognized me. This time he asked us at the start before we ordered or after we had just ordered whether we'd like to see the dessert menu. Huh? Ask at the END not start of a meal! Instead of embarrassing him, I told him, "No, thanks. My bday was yesterday." On this second day, my friend and I shared a Chinoise salad (delicious and refreshing!) and paella (not like a paella, a little too wet and granular for our taste, but healthy - a living food dish). We had mint and lemon water for both meals. $12 parking in the adjacent structure. Free parking passes at the Music Center if you're a season ticket holder or good luck with finding street parking. I'd still continue to occasionally patronize this restaurant when I have Music Center events bc I want to support veganism, the restaurant; however, I was disappointed with some of the food and waitstaff this weekend. I'd suggest that the waitstaff go thru customer training on when/what/how to talk to customers. Incentive from the website: join the rewards plan - 300 points for 30% off the bill and 100 points for a free dessert! I'm aiming for the free dessert!!

It was a little before noon and there was only one party in the whole restaurant. We got seated right away and it was by the front window for everyone to see. The menu had a lot of options and priced like all other places or I'm just getting used to the prices these days. They did have a lunch special for $20 and you can get a small pho, and then some other choices and then a drink. I couldn't tell you what the other choices were because I didn't order it. The waitress was efficient and got the job done. She did get a little overwhelmed since after 1230pm, everyone decided to grab lunch. Here's what we ordered: lunch special with small bowl of beef pho, a beef banh mi and unsweetened black tea. The hubs said that his pho was decent, the flavor was simple and didn't have that deep rich flavoring like other pho bowls he has had. The banh mi had great bread and the filling was pretty flavorful. The black tea was good. I had the build your own pho because I have to have vegetable broth but I added in chicken meatballs and shrimp. The broth was pretty tasteless so I had to add in some hoisin sauce, and sriracha. There were other condiments but I was too lazy to grab it from the other table. That helped out with the soup. The chicken meatballs were questionable as in I wasn't sure if it was chicken. There were plenty of shrimp and they added pieces of chicken. The noodles had a nice chew to them. Overall the pho was okay but it didn't hit the pho craving/spot. We also ordered pork egg rolls and they were interesting. They weren't crunchy at all. It was a bit oily and at one point, I wasn't sure if a part of it was cooked. There was more other filling than meat. The nuoc mam tasted like watered down fish sauce. I guess I was so hungry that I didn't mind it. Overall, the food was just okay. Nothing exciting to report and unfortunately I wouldn't go back.

Their prices have not changed in years and the portions remain the same versus shrinkflation. Their menu is not that big but it has your essential Vietnamese dishes. Today I ordered the banh beo bi, vermicelli with nem nuong and egg rolls, nem nuong coun and che ba mau. Banh beo bi are rice cakes topped with shredded pork. It comes with chilies and fish sauce for you to pour on top. The rice cakes are served warm and are super smooth and soft. The thai chilies it comes with are spicy so don't use too much. The vermicelli with nem nuong and egg rolls comes with a slab of meat and a whole egg roll. The bottom are the noodles and mix of veggie and herbs. The nem nuong is sweetened charbroiled pork that is grilled. Think of a sweet meat ball. The egg rolls are super crispy and filled with meat. The noodles go well with the fish sauce and there are a lot of veggies inside. The nem nuong coun is a spring roll that's wrapped in rice paper.

Not much mung bean either after stirring it literally for about 4 seconds the mung bean basically disintegrated into the liquid. The liquid.. watered down skim milk, not a trace of coconut flavor anywhere. I didn't know you can mess up Che Ba Mau until I had it from here.
