    The chicken bowl was great. However I ordered extra chicken on my bowl with a small coke and paid $27.00 the prices here for food are out of control. Not worth it, too expensive for chicken and rice

    It's Waba, it's close to work, it's good enough for lunch. Been away for a while due to Panda Inn maybe providing better value, but recently dipping back in to try to be healthier, kinda. Due to less crowd during lunch, I can order and prepare my sauces and get food and walk out in less than 3~5 mins, so this is my go to when I want to quickly be back in the office to eat hot food. Always feel there could be more protein on the plates or bowls, but it is what it is. Maybe just eating less of things is better for me anyway.

    This is my second time at this location. I'm glad I spotted this bug in my food before I ate it. I guess they don't wash the Veggies thoroughly or maybe it landed while the Veggies were cooking. Either way, it's unacceptable. I won't be returning.

    Food was soooooo delicious. Giving it a 4 star though because the portions were small

    Me: Hi, I'd like to order a #3 please. Her: With onions? Me: No, no onions. Her: Ok a #2 no onions, pull up to the window! I knew I should've looked at my order. I know better. Maaaaan onions on everything. Even the orange. Y'all... And this is the third time this has happened to me. And the female manager on duty wouldn't apologize for crap. Unprofessional and apparently lacking in comprehension.

    So disgusted with the avocado I was served!

    I had 2 choices. Go to the grocery store and pick up something to cook or since I was hungry stop by Waba and grab a bite for my son and I. Well that was in fact a huge mistake! I asked for avocado on my Waba plate and safe to say it's the worst avocado I've ever paid for! I wonder if they themselves would have ate this because it was ok to serve it. At first glance it looked like worms but clearly it's a rotten avocado.

    More meat for less cost.

    The last 6 times I've been here, this place has managed to get my order wrong all 100 times!!! I almost need to give them the wrong order for them to get it right. This place keeps getting worse. The sad part is that the employees really don't give a you know what. Why would anyone go here when you can go down the street to YOSHINOYA "Japanese kitchen" and get twice the amount of meat for lower cost? Smh. Shame on you Waba grill!

We split the eggplant tempura, Agedashi tofu, yuzu lemonade. The udon had a bouncy texture and the normal broth was clear. The Uni udon was creamy and not at all overpowering. I was surprisingly felt lighter than I thought I would after finishing such a creamy dish. I can only speak of the outside environment since I never went inside. It can be a bit hard to wave someone down since they're so busy. We sat near the doorway and there were plenty of people waiting after we sat down but there was a nice waiting area so it wasn't so cramp.

We also tried the seafood tomato udon, veggie udon, miso carbonara udon, and the fried chicken skin, and everything was delicious. Each dish had its own unique flavor, and you can really tell they put a lot of care into making their noodles. We came on a Saturday for lunch, so we expected a long wait, but it was actually very reasonable and totally bearable. Service was efficient, and once seated, the food came out pretty quickly. Overall, a great spot for fresh handmade udon, and I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

FOOD: I got the street sandwhich and my friend got the shrimp burger. Pretty good overall! I did feel like my sandwich was pretty small but when I tried finishing it, I barely could! It was filled with so much delicious egg. The bread was a bit thinner than I like. However, I loved it!

    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!!
