Review Au Lac Dtla - Los Angeles

Rick Lupert
This place has a bunch of five-star aspects to it. The fact that it exists, all vegan with lots of options - 5 Stars...the beautifully presented food - 5 Stars. The atmosphere - you feel like you've walked into a slightly different world - 5 Stars. The food itself was pretty good but I'm sticking with a 4 on this one. Portions were generous...we had Sie Mai Dumplings, and Lemongrass "Fish" - both of which were more than enough to fill up my wife and me. I'm a sucker for vegetarian fish...good veggie burgers abound but, not so much fish...this lemongrass fish did a pretty good job of approximating the experience of eating fish. The dumplings were plentiful and presented beautifully but maybe only a 4 in terms of flavor. We also dug the fancy looking infused water container, and they took good and quick care of us after we told them we were heading to a show nearby with limited time to linger. Obviously, as it's an all-vegan spot, there is PLENTY to choose from for our diets. We'd definitely give it another try and especially appreciated its proximity to the music center where we were seeing a show right after dinner.

Everything is so delicious. We tried more things and wabt to come back. We loved the big sushi roll, that was #1 for us, then from the started macadamia cheese and raw crackers - very healthy and super delicious, then shrimp, which was very close to taste of sea shrimp...then calamari - which is basically fried mushrooms in shape of calamari, the taste is not so authentic but I loved it. Especially for the fact that it's healthy superfood mushrooms in gluten-free crust and this dish is most liked by people who order online on the app Doordarsh, now at this point we are overfilled because these portions are huge. It's definitely worth the price - quality and quantity. I really wanted to try dessert and more of the living foods but I must come another time...we also had a beverage called CBD and gosh it's so delicious smoothie!!! Must try. And last but not least the genmaicha tea, which was delicious too. The service is very friendly and helpful, like really. We forgot our keys on table and the waiter ran outside to give it to us. Thank you :)

Vegan vietnamese restaurant with absolutely delicious food. I am a carnivore and I thoroughly enjoyed the garlic noodles, mushrooms, kale chip salad, curried dice and croquettes (the sauce is phenomenal). There are little hints of love everywhere, curried rice sent in the shape of a heart, toothpicks with pink hearts on them. Such a sweet touch. Very good service, quiet spot. You will genuinely ❤️ the dining experience.

I am very impressed with this Vietnamese plant based fusion restaurant. The seasoning is on point. Love how real veggies are used instead of plant based substitutes. Got a couple of appetizers during their "happy hour." There is no alcohol served here. Food tastes like it's made fresh to order, and the sauces are complimentary versus being an afterthought. Can't wait to try their original OC location!

Took my neighbor here and he said this was one of the best vegan spots he’s ever been to. I completely agree. Now all the items are vegan and made with non meat ingredients. We ordered the shrimp, calamari, cold brew with coconut milk, and the beef pho. So the shrimp was delicious, flavorful, juicy and crispy. The calamari was also delicious and seasoned right. If I brought someone and did not tell them it was vegan there’s a chance they would believe it was their meat counterparts. The cold brew was great also. The beef pho was excellent and the broth was perfect. The beef pieces were great and the noodles were also solid. Overall the dining experience was great. I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. Parking is limited to the street or garage parking nearby.

So good! I went with some skeptical & carnivorous colleagues and they all loved it. The shrimp was impressively realistic in texture and taste. My favorite was the mushroom octopus. The calamari and roll were excellent too. Love that they played some Khruangbin 🎶

Music, ambience and service was on point. Food was amazing but probably wouldn’t order the ravioli again. For me it had an overpowering smokey type flavor. Would happily dine here again.

If you close your eyes you will not know that you're eating vegan or plant based food. The chicken skewers are delicious and covered with a well balanced sauce.

Delicious! Happy to see a completely vegan restaurant offering options to vegans and vegetarians. Super friendly staff 😁 Dinner was delicious! Their rendition of Siu Mai captured all of its flavors tied together with a delicious sauce. The ravioli was savory and the green pyramid was delicious as well with a coconut tone. Definitely recommended! Travs Matcha to finish it off was a tasty drink 🍵

I've been trying to get here for a couple weeks, ever since Au Lac came on my radar. Last night, I finally got to experience the joy. Beautiful, calming space with a variety of tables which I really appreciated as we preferred a low table with cushy seating. The nose level was nice and low with plenty of buffers. Coming here with my vegan friend was a delight in itself as everything was delicious! Finely crafted with attention to flavors that blended well, my egg rolls were delicious but my Pho Beer Ball took the night. Flavorful and filling, fresh and comforting, each aspect of my pho was created to make me happy! My Rainbow Flan was as beautiful as it was pretty. What a wonderful meal!!
