    Wonderful atmosphere, super friendly staff and delicious food. All vegan food of course. Gluten-free options are plenty, and the desserts all are! Great phở, great summer rolls and “Tirawmisu.” I wish I could have continued eating and eating, so much to explore.

    Veggie stepped up! What a delightful experience and the dishes are fantastic! Service was top notch. From the crispy egg rolls to all the noodle soups everything was perfect!

    I visited on my trip to California as I had heard great things about the raw menu. The food was fantastic but our server made the visit even better. They called us queens which I loved, gave great ordering suggestions & chatted tattoos with me. I wish I got their name! Will definitely visit next time I’m in the area.

    Truly lovely atmosphere, traditional dining experience and all. The menu is overwhelming due to having so many options, this is a great problem to have. Our waitress was knowledgeable and very friendly. In fact all the staff was very friendly here. I found that my glass noodles were very salty and others in my party also felt that less salt would make this a perfect gastronomic experience. Will absolutely return!

    This is hands down the BEST vegan food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. All of the four dishes we ordered were delicious. I had their *shrimp, and the texture and flavor were surreal. My friend who took me there told a story of how there were some customers who had left the tails because they didn't realize they were faux shrimp!

    Wow! Amazing experience at Au Lac! We celebrated a friends birthday here, we had the second room all to ourselves, we could be loud and laugh freely without disturbing anyone. It was so fun! The tea, the food, the dessert, were all amazing! The Salt & Pepper Shrimp was so good! We shared a bunch of dishes between the 5 of us and everything was super! The staff was super friendly and allowed us to stay 40 minutes past closing. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant to everyone!

    By far the best raw vegan restaurant around. Their cooked dishes are great too. Even my friends who don't eat vegan love the food here! There's so much to choose from, and all of it's great. I wish they would bring the donut holes back! The service is fantastic. We are treated like family.

    I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. We were seated immediately and noticed that they have hand sanitizer on all tables for customers to use, which was a nice touch! We started with the salt & pepper tofu and it was good. We wish it had spice but we just asked for sate & mixed it into the dipping sauce. We also ordered the bbq pork spring rolls which were delish. For the entree, I ordered the clay pot with fish, tofu & eggplant. I'm normally not a clay pot person but I thought why not step out of my comfort zone and it was good. I think it could have used some spice so the sate helped. My friend ordered the bun bo hue, it was a really light broth. We asked for extra "fish" sauce & sate, that helped and it was good. It's definitely a lighter version of bbh. Overall I would come back and try other items and service was 10/10!

    If you are in doubt about what to order, the menu has ⭐️ to mark their best sellers. The Bbq pork rolls were good, the “pork” tasted and looked like if was made with pork. The egg rolls were good too. The wonton soup, the wonton were ok but the broth was rich. The clay pot fish was wow, soooo delicious, definitely my favorite thing. The desserts were ok. They gave us a complementary pot of tea, highly appreciated after the meal! The service was kind and friendly!! We waited 10-15 mins for a table. There is parking all around the mall so it is easy to find a spot. The restroom was clean.

    We have had the distinct delight of frequenting Au Lac on multiple occasions, and the experience has always been marked by an unwavering consistency in both food quality and service. Discovering a dining destination that meets the trifecta of cleanliness, health-consciousness, and delectable flavors is no easy task. If you find yourself navigating dietary paths such as veganism or gluten-free, or if you're simply inclined towards conscious consumption, often the challenge lies in procuring organic produce and preparing it at home. In my personal experience, the results have typically been satisfactory but not exceptionally tantalizing. This is where Au Lac steps in and transforms the narrative. It offers a culinary journey that is centered around health and wellness, while not compromising an iota on taste. It is a refreshing reassurance that conscious eating can be a delight to the palate, taking the experience of healthy dining from merely "ok" to remarkably exquisite. Every dish at Au Lac, from their wholesome soups and appetizers to their main courses and even desserts, brims with unparalleled flavor and imparts a feel-good sensation with every bite. The pricing is reasonable, and the service is commendable, further enhancing the overall dining experience. This establishment caters beautifully to a wide range of dietary preferences and needs, making it an irresistible destination whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or have no dietary restrictions at all. Their menu is a tantalizing ensemble of culinary masterpieces. Notably, their eggplant dishes, an array of vibrant salads, hearty stews, and the visually stunning rainbow dessert, each demand a special mention for their exceptional flavors. Au Lac is not just a restaurant; it's a symphony of healthy and delicious cuisine that never fails to impress. No matter your dietary preferences, it stands out as a must-try culinary destination. It elevates conscious dining to a new level, demonstrating that healthy food can indeed be incredibly palatable and enjoyable.

    1st timer. Not crowded. Nice, comfy place. Good, healthy food 👍😊. Vietnamese fusion style. We ate almost everything 🤣😋. Definitely deserve future visits. NOTE: Not really handicap friendly in dining area. Didn't visit restrooms...so, no comments for that.

    My fave vegan place in the whole world. The staff here is so friendly and kind. The food is delicious, fresh and tasty. Highly reccomend.

    This place is fabulous! So delicious! I was a vegetarian for over 12 years so I love finding plant based restaurants and Au Lac is just great! Their chocolata (chocolate drink) was delicious and so was their original chicken noodle soup! So yummy! The service is also fantastic and Sam was a sweetheart! We had a pretty large group but she was on top of it and such a gem of a waitress🫶 I highly recommend Au Lac! Especially to do any luncheons or big dinners. You won’t be disappointed 😍 also, side note but their bathroom is super clean and taken care of!

    Vegan food is pretty good here. The portions are small. Service is good.

  • 4/5 Alex C. 1 year ago on Google
    My first time here was over 10 years ago when I went here for work. A client had recommended that we go there and the experience was extraordinary. I had a rich decadent chocolate smoothie of some kind that still brings back memories and no avail from home. I came back to this restaurant for the first time after all these years hoping to relive some of those moments. The food was good but it wasn't great. The chocolate smoothie felt thin and icy. Nothing like I remember from the past. I couldn't even taste the coconut in it that it's supposedly had. The chicken dish was just okay. The tofu lemongrass was really good. The fried rice with chicken in it was pretty good. The sushi was okay. The Wonton soup was okay. The tiramisu was really good. Overall I think I would give this place three and a half stars but I'll give it to four for all the vegan food that they have.
