Everything we had was delicious and well plated. Service was great and food comes fast!
We’ve dined here at least half a dozen times already, and every time we are blown away! Although upscale in decor, the staff are very chill. We’ve tried about half the menu and the only so-so item was the Ito Burrito. Favorites include the Ravioli, Siu Mai, and the Pho Beef Ball. They have a pretty generous rewards program too.
I was kinda let down when eating here! I found all the food to be lacking flavor. Yes the food was creative and “healthier” but I was expecting more! Also didn’t have very good service. The servers were slow to attend to us (despite the restaurant being almost empty). Perhaps I’d come back if they revamp their menu but as of right now I would only visit if I were in DTLA again and wanted to eat at a fully vegan place!
Loved the vibe & decor.. tried the salt & pepper shrimp 🌱 & beef balll pho (simple - wish there there more veggies/tofu)… I personally love more spice & flavor but glad I went.
super flavorful and so many exciting options!! the non-vegans i was with loved their meals too!!
We sat with the menu for so long because all of the options sounded so good! I ended up getting the clay pot fish and my partner got the beef ball pho. My fish could have tasted a little more fishy but the sauce was amazing and the main reason I ordered the dish was the eggplant which was incredible. My partner is not vegan and she couldn’t believe how good her broth was. We also had a whole pot of tea each and the total price at the end was more than reasonable.
Found Au Lac when I was looking for a place to eat prior to going to the LA Philharmonic. They are right across the street! Amazing food with a very upscale feel but all at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be back so we can explore more of their menu.
100% plant based Vietnamese restaurant. Big portions, good service, very clean, & many great options. It was so good we visited twice in one weekend! Authentic tasting pho, bahn mi, dumplings, sushi. I never get sushi because it’s overpriced but this one is worth it due to being super large portion. The octopus platter tasted like orange chicken. Great experience and location definitely check it out
I only had one to go dish, but wow it was truly incredible. I would eat here constantly if I lived in the area! Even if it was the same dish that I enjoyed… their garlic basil noodles (which is apparently a popular order they have). Afterwards I went on their website to read more about the place. They have a really endearing story, established at another location 27 years ago. EDIT: Their bahn mi is equally amazing! 🙃 Updated from previous review on 2025-01-09
Loved the range of vegan healthy options. Was tempted to teyneverything. Wish there was more of a tasting menu for dinner. We ordered the pork rolls, curry rice, yellow shrimp soup, ravioli, and basil pasta. Everything was flavorful and interesting.

I was so excited to eat here, based upon all the previous glowing reviews. However, in my own experience, the food was majorly under-seasoned and the textures were off. Inviting contemporary interior and friendly staff.
offers an exceptional dining experience with fresh, flavorful dishes that highlight the best of Vietnamese cuisine. The ambiance is welcoming and modern, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions.

From the friendly staff to the amazing options to the high end flavor, this place is packed with reasons to visit. The Shrimp appetizer and Chinoia Salad were great, but the ravioli was rich and delicious I’d have to give it the gold star of the night.
Delicious food.
