    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very small and clean shop located in China town that is serving up some amazing Vietnamese food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pho was very flavorful and was packed with meat. The small size of the pho was enough to fill me up and I eat a lot, very well priced. The iced Vietnamese coffee was a good pair for the pho it wasn't too sweet and tasted very fresh. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area who is in the mood for some pho, or even a coffee. I will be coming back to try more items, and the staff was very kind.

    Great food, super friendly staff and portions are large so be prepared to eat a lot. Tons of people were doing take out orders, so that's an option also. We will definitely be back.

    Finally stopped by this place. I'm glad I did. Pho was great. Clean tasty broth. Egg rolls were really good. Not a huge fan of banh mi's but it was very filling. This may be my new spot for pho.

    Always a happy experience with unique and delightful versions totally unique from the surrounding Pho and broken rice places all around Chinatown. Service courteous and fast despite a capacity crowd with a 45-minute waiting line. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just an enjoyable Sunday afternoon (which is another peak time for this location.)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    vegetable eggrolls

    This place was super fire. There was a few minute wait but it was worth it. The service was pretty quick, and our food came out quick as well. The vegetable eggrolls were simple but good. My beef brisket pho was amazing!!! The flavor of the broth really stood out, the quality of the meat was 10/10 -- making the soup very enjoyable!!! For a large bowl which was $16, it was reasonably priced with how much meat / noodles you get Highly recommend if you're looking for pho in LA

    Bun nem nuong
    Randy L.

    We went here with a party of 5 for lunch on a Tuesday at around 12 pm. It was fairly packed for lunch, and we had to wait about 15 minutes before we got a seat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are seats inside and outside. It is relatively small inside and can hold maybe 20 customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Because the restaurant was full inside, we were seated outside. I ordered Bun Nem Nuong. The portion size is very large, so you will definitely get your money's worth and be full. Normally, I'd assume if a restaurant has a long menu, that usually means they don't specialize in any one meal, so the quality might be lacking. Therefore, the shorter the menu, the more they can perfect a meal, and this restaurant did not disappoint. Growing up in a Vietnamese community, this restaurant has better quality than the ones I've had growing up. The Bun Nem Nuong isn't as popular probably because most people would choose Bun Thit Nuong (basically pork chops). Although both were good, I encourage you to try the Nem Nuong (basically Asian spam, except sweeter). The nuoc mam (fish sauce) that comes with it isn't salty, so it is recommended you pour spoonfuls of it into the meal and mix it around to give the full flavor. It has plenty of veggies, so it is diluted and won't give you high blood pressure. Our server was super friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions. My coworkers (non-Asian) had a food allergy, so she was limited in food options, but the server was helpful in guiding what she could eat. Overall, the food quality lives up to its high rating. Service was awesome. Summary: - [[HIGHLIGHT]]CLEANLINESS. Clean tables and utensils.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - COSTS. $ Affordable. $14-15 per meal at the time of this writing. Good amount for the price. - CUSTOMER SERVICE. The staff was quick and friendly. They refilled water without us having to flag them down and checked in with us every couple of minutes, even with a full restaurant. - FOOD QUALITY. Fresh and perfectly balanced. Like a home-cooked meal. Fish sauce wasn't super salty. Veggies were clean and crispy. - FOOD QUANTITY. Very large meals that fill up the bowl. You will be full. - WAIT TIME. About 10-15 minutes to get seated during peak lunch times. About 20 minutes after ordering our food to receive all 5 party's meals.

    Overall this was a solid pho spot. The pho was pretty enjoyable and definitely worth it if you're close by and craving pho, solid 7/10. The Thai iced tea was also pretty good and I would get it again. The service was fantastic and everyone was super friendly. I think I'd go back to try some of the other foods, more specifically their plate options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is on the smaller side with a handful of tables so there's a little bit of a wait but they bring out the food pretty quickly so it moves by fast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Some of the best Pho I've had in Los Angeles ever! I haven't stopped dreaming about everything we ate there. The service was phenomenal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the ambience they had jazz on it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's just really small quaint little place, we talked to the people sitting next to us at a table who offered to let us try their food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was just really a great experience. We can't wait to return and try more food.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]An old school spot still family run and looks legit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I saw a kid doing homework inside while his family was handling orders. Just knew this was a good place off that interaction.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Banh mi was CRUNCHY yet fluffy. The perfect balance that is hard to get these days. Everything inside tasted so fresh and the lemongrass beef was pull apart tender. Egg rolls were solid nothing to write home about. The coffee was much better than even some places in Garden Grove! The Vietnamese food of Chinatown is so slept on. Let's gatekeep and keep it that way.

    Pretty good vegetarian pho which is hard to find. The broth is a bit simple but a good base for adding the fixings of your choice. They are very generous with their portion sizes and the vegetables are fresh. I like that they give you a little dish on the side to put your sauce in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came on a saturday afternoon and it was packed, I def recommend coming on a weekday if you want to be seated quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff here is incredibly friendly and the tables and menus are clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bun Bo hue
    Jake A.

    We came by for lunch time on a Sunday and while there was a decent wait of 15-20 minutes, we were sat outside and quickly taken care of. The food was a bit slow coming out, but it seems they have limited staff and high demand! There is a parking lot nearby for $5 for the entire day and I think that's a great deal considering how congested it is down there. Onto the food! We ordered a bun Bo hue and some crispy egg rolls and the egg rolls were fantastic! The bun Bo hue is definitely one of the better bbh we have had in LA--the beef slices were thick and flavorful and really made this stand out. If you need to use the restroom they can give you a token for the restroom down the hall.

    Tasty pho and the most wonderful service, so attentive and sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located inside a shopping plaza, in the heart of Chinatown[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Fast and friendly service. Would definitely come back.

    Do they have ac?

    Yes

    Do they accept Apple Pay?

    No they don't.

    Are they cash only?

    No, $15 minimum for cards

    What's good to order?

    Their pho is very good! I always go for the #1 Pho. For me personally, the broth is not too heavy on the spices/herbs so you can taste the clarity of the broth. To switch it up, I would order the #1 Bahn Mi as well!

    Do they sell bahn bo?

    No they do not

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!

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.
