    They charger deliver , yet they say is FREE if you spent 15 or more !!?! Doesn't make sense .
    Esmeraldita G.

    i love this place Food! is amazing . But i just realized they charge 1.50 more for light ice in your drink . Now dont get me wrong if that's what they need to do is ok but why not say something when some one is asking for light ice .

    My husband's Pad See Eew
    Jane D.

    My husband and I like to order Thai food every so often when we work from home together. Even though we love the place we usually order from, we figured we should try something new and found Thai Silk. I got the seafood rice plate, my husband got the chicken pad see ew, and dumplings to share. For the price of my plate ($16.99), his plate ($13.99) and the dumplings ($10), I thought the plates would be quite large (as they are in the other Thai place we like. I was shocked to find the plates are so small! And it didn't make up for it in taste either. My rice was so dry, unappealing and essentially tasteless. If it weren't for the dumpling sauce I used on the rice mixed with chili paste it wouldn't have been good at all. I was also very displeased that when we picked up the food and asked for sriracha sauce, the lady said she already put a different hot sauce in the bag--- and I said that's fine, we'll take sriracha too-- to which she replied, "so you want to give the other sauce back?!" Um, NOOOO! How stingy is she?!! Charging so much for such small plates of tasteless food, and still trying to cut corners with hot sauce. Lady, that's what made the plate tolerable!

    Pineapple Fried rice

    This local Thai food restaurant is very good... I have been here a few times now and have tried a few different things from the menu... They are now open for dine in and are still taking precautions to keep customers safe... I absolutely love Thai food and I'm glad I don't have to drive to far to get something good... I have ordered the shrimp wonton soup which was delicious, and the Mango sticky rice is a must have, it is definitely my favorite... I love that Thai food always has healthy alter if you don't want to eat rice or noodles... I have had the tiger salad from here, its good and not to spicy... I have also ordered the papaya salad which was ok... The pineapple fried rice is good and comes with a good portion of meat... If your in the mood for Thai food and don't want to drive across town and deal with LA traffic I recommend trying out this local Thai place...The staff is very friendly and the food is good...

    Spicy Fried Rice with Hot Basil Leaves, Red Curry
    Braian N.

    We were in the area and were looking for a Thai food place to try and I'm glad we stopped here! Seriously the spicy fried rice and red curry we ordered was SO flavorful. By far the best Thai food we've had. The rice had a wonderful peppery flavor and lived up to the name. The red curry was so savory and delicious, it's literally the best. I ordered the sweet iced green tea and it was bomb! The staff was super friendly. The place was super clean and inviting! 10/10 we are stopping by here any time we are in the area!

    Food was good. Portioning is little.Fast service. The server was nice. The aircondition inside the restaurant was off.

    $3 for delivery fee / on top will be taxed 15% from the delivery guy! - good luck
    Jeenee Y.

    2018 Yelp 100 Challenge 28/100 ** 15% additional delivery tip will be added (SERIOUSLY??!!) ** Service is HORRIBLE and let me add RUDE AF! Especially the delivery guy. Family owned restaurant or not.... WE ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS! Just now I had the most horrible experience getting our order delivered. The delivery guy is part of this family owned business and demanded to tip him 15% MORE (on top of $3 fee on our receipt). Delivery guy states that it's the law to pay the 15% - Umm excuse me sir.. It's 15%+ for dining in NOT for delivery! (trying to tax us!) Doesn't end there, when trying to give him additional $10 and the change for tip - the delivery guy had the nerve to throw the money back! (who does that!?) I have noticed that clearly this delivery guy IS a problem. (Please see posted previous reviews) SMH. Lost my business from today.

    Came for a weekday group lunch. When we sat down they only offered us the regular menu. We had to…read moreask for the lunch menu. SMH. The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.

The rice was piping hot and the mangos were sweet and soft, drizzled with a generous serving of sweet coconut milk. Personally, the rice was a bit too soft for me and the coconut milk was a tad too sweet, but it still scratched the itch I had for mango sticky rice. I went close to closing so the staff could only offer me takeout, which was fine. They were friendly both over the phone and in-person when I picked up my order. I'm only dinging it a point because of its high(er) price point. I would be down to go back again to try out their entrees next time though!

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site. Prices were very reasonable.

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!

Unfortunately, I recently took my family there who was visiting and we were underwhelmed. We came on a Sunday afternoon and while it was busy, we only waited a few minutes.

It seemed like it wasn't marinated long enough. The Bbq Pork noodle dry smelled really bad to the point that we couldn't eat it. In fact, we had to order Fried Rice instead since we couldn't eat the noodles. The Pad See Ew was just okay. I'm disappointed as I really wanted my family to be blown away by the food and it didn't happen. Maybe the kitchen was having an off day. There's a small crowded valet parking lot right out front. We found street parking a few blocks away. Be mindful that it's in the east side of Hollywood, so it can be sketchy and dirty in the surrounding neighborhood.
