My Lai Kitchen - Venice

Holy food!!! This place is amazing. A hidden gem. Anything you order you'll like.

EDIT: this place, when it first opened, was fantastic, as of late, not so much and it breaks my heart. The food sometimes tastes a bit stale, I think they might have also changed the ingredients and the quality is suffering. All I know is that I USED to love this place 😢

Best bahn mi in town

If you like a made to order bowl, you will love these Vietnamese bowls. The ingredients selections are delicious and in combination are just excellent! Kylie was a wonderful ambassador to navigating the available flavors.

Walked in to place an order and there was a somewhat tall brown skin Mexican kid with glasses 👓 who was being extremely disrespectful and rude to me. He was yelling at me giving me attitude. This is bad.

The bahn mi with impossible meat was $18 and extremely underwhelming. It lacked flavor and there was no sriracha on it to speak of. The bread which should have been light and crispy didn’t taste fresh. I’m not even sure the mayo was vegan… the Thai coffee was a pre-mix so not available vegan. It tasted burnt and had awful flavor. Maybe the bowls are better, but I wouldn’t come back to try again.

A little above average priced , hard seats, poor value

The food is delicious and you get a lot of food for a reasonable price. The crispy tofu is my favorite and I love all the different vegetable toppings. There is limited space to sit and eat.

Vegetarian options: The crispy tofu is vegan and really good, they also have vegan fish sauce

The pork banh mi was SO GOOD and very authentic tasting. The bread is really something else, very fluffy but crispy too.

They recently dramatically decreased the size of their bowls, making an already expensive place completely unaffordable.
