    Seafood Pho with vegetarian broth
    Kai L.

    The server was sweet, and the wait for food wasn't long at all. I also ordered a Thai tea and that tasted great as well. The pho was flavorful, and it came with a good portion/assortment of seafood! I love how filling it is. They also they don't skimp on any of the meat or veggies. 10/10 would recommend!

    My friend told me this place is popular their pho. I decided to give a try. So quite place and when I was there time not a lot of customers there. We ordered brisket pho and combination fried rices and summer rolls. Brisket pho(3/5)-it was ok but I can tell soup was better taste than other places wherever I go for pho. Combination fried rice(3/5)- a lot of protein inside of fried rice. Summer rolls(4/5)- I like this place summer rolls. The our server wasn't very kindly also this place parking was a bit pretty packed even if that's valet parking. It's not worth than eat here with $4 for valet service. Looks like clean also very old interior.

    It's a simple pho restaurant with neat interior. The food was what I would expect from a pho place. Broth was good, Ingredients were fresh. Their Thai ice tea was also decent (- little watery but not too bad). There was a lot of room in the restaurant. Service wasn't anything special... the server wasn't mean but not nice either. I don't know, it was good but nothing special... Parking is valet only $3. I might come back if I have a craving and it's close by but nothing made me think that it was my new and only pho place.

    I love pho! Was brought here by my girlfriend so sometimes I doubt the places she pics LOL. But I gotta say, with this one she hit it out the park, what a GEM. We arrived early in the day so it was slow. We were sat immediately. I appreciate the decor and how clean the restuarant was. The glass table top were a plus for me. The two young ladies who attended to us were exceptional. Now to the food, this has been by far one of the best tasting pho I have had! The food arrived fast and it was nice and hot! Which I personally prefer. The brisket was nice and tender and the broth was out of this world, it was like a warm hug. The appetizer combo was great too although the serving sizes were a bit under sized the taste and flavor of the spring roll, egg roll, and dumpling were great. Would I return? MOST DEFINITELY!   Ordered:  Appetizer Combo  B.3 Brisket Pho   Cons:  Parking might be a hassle.

    I ordered the vegetarian pho and my gf ordered the oxtail pho. In terms of flavor, the oxtail pho was actually pretty good. However, the vegetarian pho was lacking a bit of flavor. I understand it probably isn't the easiest making a super tasty vegetarian based pho, but this was pretty dull. I probably wouldn't order that again, but like I said earlier, the beef was good. Extra star for the shrimp spring rolls (I always omit the pork) those were also tasty!

    The best pho ever! I'm not Vietnamese but I assume that this is truly what an authentic pho recipe tastes like, made with heart and soul :') and everytime I go they have the absolute sweetest darling young lady working. She radiates positive energy throughout the restaurant making it that much more of a pleasant experience! Please come here!! ^^

    Steak and brisket pho

    This is the best pho hands down!! The cleanest, most rich broth, so flavorful. TENDER MEAT! Great amount of noodles! Very filling!! The customer service is fantastic. So attentive!! Cozy home vibe! Best egg rolls and shrimp rolls! DEFINITELY recommend

    Bun Bo Hue

    After a visit to the hair salon in same mall (Pink Comb) I stopped by and placed a take-way order. Bun Bo Hue and two spring rolls. Absolutely delicious! The broth is clean and flavorful seasoned perfectly. Portion size is huge and I only finished a fourth and was so full. The order came with a good size portion of meats, veggies and a few packets of hoisin and sriracha. I like eating here as the flavors are authentic. A plus service as always, the young lady who helped me today was so kind and welcoming. I highly recommend dining here the pho is so good here too, price was nominal at $23 not including tip.

    Spacious pho restaurant in a little KTown plaza. Conveniently located right next to a bus stop. Valet parking in the lot, but you should be able to self park/street park. The takeout and ordering in experience is very fast, and staff is nice. They have the menu under a glass cover on every table, at every seat. I felt pho was better than average, but not the best I've had. I got the pho with meatballs, and the meatballs came quartered. I didn't enjoy the texture of the meatballs and it's possible they could have been frozen, which was regretful because I feel like a proper, handrolled meatball can really make a bowl of pho go to the next level. Good amount of noodles and the broth was also good. We also got the vermicelli and grilled pork, which was flavorful. Dish came with pho broth and a spicy/sour dipping sauce. I'll probably opt for a vermicelli/rice plate next time I come here. Overall, prices are very fair for LA. A bowl of pho will run you $12 here, and a combination pho (with varied meats like their brisket, tripe, meatball etc.) is just above $13. Hits the spot for pho, but not mindblowing to me. Still a solid spot to stop for a quick meal or conversation.

    Solid pho restaurant in the middle of Ktown! Came during a Sunday afternoon around 2pm and waited outside for about 10 minutes before we got seated as a party of 2. Whenever I get pho, I always order a pho tai (rare steak). My bowl came out pretty quickly, and it was very straight forward. Warm, soothing broth with your typical pho rice noodles. The rare steak comes out pretty pink, hence the name, but cooks fairly fast in the hot broth. The portions were pretty generous, and I remember leaving satisfied. The service was quick overall, from getting our orders taken till getting the bill. Ambiance wise, you can definitely tell this is a family-owned business so it's nice to be able to support! Definitely will come again whenever I'm craving pho. There were no surprises here, so I feel like I can count on this restaurant as my go-to when it comes to Vietnamese food.

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 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.
