    I ordered a large number 19 and it was fantastic. It was worth everything. The broth was delicious. I recommend ordering extra peppers because I love extra hot stuff.!! Eating inside and I find the beef absorb the flavor wonderfully !! Spring rolls are always my favorite thing. You have to start the meal alone, but they have one really interesting thing that you have to try. The PHO-RITTO!! The pho burrito!! Try this fusion flavor fantasy!!

    Appetizer platter and beef Phorrito

    Food. Small little hole in the wall that's available primarily for late breakfast and lunch. It does have parking. It's literally right underneath the 10 freeway between Hill and Olive. Mom and Pop run frequency by local workers in the region as as well as hospital employees from California hospital Had the Phorrito in both the pork and beef. Beyond delicious. I highly recommend the pork that was my favorite. The beef was tasty as well, but the pork was over-the-top delicious. Also got the appetizer platter to get a good mix of their appetizer, which was delicious as well. My favorite of appetizers was the shrimp crispy shrimp wraps. Most definitely will go back again. The older woman who seems to run the place was very friendly very tasty food in a very super casual setting.

    My friend Moises and I ate lunch here! Amazing food.

    I loved our meal here. The broth had such a delicious sweet, savory, smooth taste, and the veggies and meat were great quality. The owner is working hard and it shows. The coffee was tasty; I love coffee and I had to order extra! Recommend #15.

    Beef pho 15. Well-Done Brisket and Slice of Eye-Round Steak Noodle Soup

    It was good, had a good amount of meat not enough noodles! Quick service per usual for Pho! I recommend ordering extra noodles. It's a large spot! Decent parking lot size too.

    This is a small Vietnamese restaurant within walking distance from the California medical center. I saw "phorrito" on Yelp and I have never had it or seen it at any other Vietnamese restuarants so I thought I'd give it a try. It's listed under appetizers on the menu. I had pork phorrito. It's sooooo good. It contained lots of pork. Reasonable portion for the price. I was already full after eating half of the phorrito and the soup. I only took a few sips of Vietnamese iced coffee. The coffee was great too. It's flavorful and thick. I'd definitely revisit this place because other food in the photos on here look amazing too! Lastly I wish the service could be faster. There were only me and 1 other customer and it took a while for them to serve me my food.

    This is definitely a hidden gem downtown! The food is delicious! The owner is so sweet! I got the well done brisket, eye round steak noodle soup. Will post picture. It was before I got the sides. Comes with cilantro, sprouts, jalapeños & cilantro, lime . & basil with request. I also got the egg rolls, again delicious! If you're in the area, you probably shouldn't think about it. Just go inside you won't regret it. ! It's small inside, but the portions aren't lol

    Rainy day? It's a pho day Must come and get #18 a well done brisket and well done flank. Come and get it now. I have been here for few years and it is the go to place for pho in DTLA. Must come and try . You will slurp it all away.

    Chicken pho

    Little hole in the wall kinda hidden . Parking is small but not a problem finding one . I was a little skeptical at first but thought why not give it a try? We ordered online for pick up , pulled up. Service was decent nice people . Food wise i rate it 8/10 i got the chicken pho and my hubby got the beef pho and we both liked it . Over all easy and yummy . gonna be our local pho plug !

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 be 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!

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.

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.

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.
