Everything tastes incredible and I feel that even non vegetarians can enjoy their food. The Bo luc lac was superb, the sauce was sooo delicious. Honestly if I can take a jar of that sauce they used to make the shaken beef, I'd pour it over everything lol. They used a ton of watercress though and I'm not the biggest fan of watercress. I understand it's a salad but damn the ratio of watercress to "beef" is insane. The salt and pepper shrimp was also good and the sauce that paired with it had a spicy kick! They've got a big menu so I def want to come back to try their other items! Service was great. Everyone was very helpful and communicative and appreciated any feedback we had. Felt very welcoming!

After many years, I still love this place. I'm a meat eater, but I also enjoy the creative,…read moredelicious takes on vegan and raw foods that Au Lac offers. Many dishes I've tried I would get again. The dining area is cozy with plenty of booth and table seating. The staff and service are always friendly and attentive. If you're adventurous with food or you are vegetarian/vegan, there are plenty of choices depending on what you're craving. From soups to rice dishes, vegan and raw entrées you won't find anywhere else. Most of the "meat" textures are pleasant and close to the real thing. A few of my current favorites: * Chicken Lemongrass has been my go-to and one of the cooked dishes I'll recommend for anyone who still eats meat. Comes with salad and black rice. * Wonton Soup has a clean, yet flavorful mushroom broth without being heavy. The wonton is tender with soy protein and mushrooms inside. * Humanese (Living Soup) is creamy and smooth with a pleasant flavor. * Yellow Noodles were a delicious bowl of light yet savory mushroom broth, fresh ingredients, a mix of vegan proteins, and thin noodles. * BBQ "Pork" Roll is a light starter with a tasty peanut sauce. * Salt & Peppered "Shrimp" - I enjoyed this, and the texture is close to an actual shrimp * The Paella is a pleasant and tasty surprise, with big slices of avocado and a blend of fresh, clean ingredients. * Bun No.35 is a refreshing, hearty dish that fills you up without feeling heavy. Pour the vegan fish sauce over the ingredients and mix well! * Curried Rice has a cool presentation, and the live food and fresh ingredients are delicious and filling. A few of my friends also enjoyed this dish. * Green Papaya Salad is a nice shareable classic dish with fresh ingredients, and the spice level is mild to medium. Elixirs, juices, teas, and smoothies can satisfy your taste buds and your body. Vegan desserts are also worth a try. Recently, they added vegan cakes! I'm looking forward to returning and trying more dishes!

By the time I walked in, I felt like I had already burned off dessert. Service with Space The service was chill and patient--no pressure, no hovering. I was offered suggestions, politely declined, and eventually made up my mind like the independent vegan foodie I pretend to be. Food Chronicles I dove into the Mystical Mushroom Quesadilla with walnut meat. Now, let me confess: this was my first time eating walnut meat, it was an interesting experience... a little sweeter than my taste buds were emotionally prepared for, but hey--growth! I'll have to try it without the walnut meat next time. The real showstopper..The kale chips. I'm pretty sure they were kale chips, but honestly they tasted like crispy little blessings from above. Heaven-sent. Then came the Loving Lasagna, and WOW. Extremely good. The sauces were divine, like they'd been whisked by angels with excellent seasoning skills. I absolutely recommend it--10/10, would eat again and again.

The space is still beautiful and has that relaxed, sit-down energy that's perfect if you're not in a rush. I will say, I would've appreciated a little more guidance when it came to choosing items on the menu, especially with so many options. But overall, the food still holds up. A good spot to revisit if you're in the area.

Came here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday…read more Our party had 3 people and we came for an early dinner on a weekday. There was maybe one or two other parties there. Their menu specializes in Korean style premium seafood items. They have the option of live or not. They had different set options and items you can get a la carte. We went with their live fish and sashimi set C. We also got some live shrimp and live octopus to try. I love that the staff was super knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The live set included a lot of side dishes. It also included halibut and flounder, a platter of abalone, sea cucumber, cold soup, hot fish soup, calamari and vegetable tempura. All of which were amazing and tasted very fresh. The live octopus was definitely an experience. They tasted fresh and sweet and were very actively moving. If you want to try it I would definitely recommend trying it here. The chef was nice enough to have us try two types of nigiri. Both were amazing and fatty. The whole dinner was quite an experience. Since there were so many dishes they made sure to go in order but not rush us since many items were coming out. The staff was super attentive. Many items came with its own sauce so they made sure we were doing it right. We spent about $400 for 3 people which included alcohol. I thought it was fair especially for how fresh our seafood was. The inside of the restaurant is pretty casual but clean. You can also see most of the seafood items. I recommend if if you want live seafood items Korean style. We will be back.

We ordered the 2 people sashimi and couldn't even finish it. It came with the platter of sashimi...fish was fresh but definitely not high quality like the authentic Japanese restaurant..at the end it comes with tempura, Korean tofu side dishes and soup...just a lot. If you're looking for authentic sushi/sahsimi...this is not your restaurant but if you're looking for Japanese basic sashimi fishes and Korean food...this may be it.

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. We did not have reservations, but came early enough…read more We were able to get a table inside. The hostess was friendly and accommodating for our family of 4. Service- 5 Our server was great, but it was the second server we had named Hook that really took care of us. I cannot remember when the last time I had such service. From quick service to anticipating our needs, to keeping our table tidy throughout many dishes. I was amazed at the attention to detail throughout our entire meal. Food 5 -we ordered several menu items so just a couple of stand outs to touch on. I think you cannot come to Queens without ordering the point break platter, which is an array of oysters and other seafood offerings. Delicious!! Another standout is the pimento cheeseburger. I think pimento is my new favorite cheese! There are a few pimento offerings, so when you go, you must try one of them!! I live in Long Beach and Queens is in Los Angeles so the drive is a little tough, but if I lived in the neighborhood, I would love to stop and have a bowl of soup with a pimento cheese sandwich once a week. Simple sounding but I am drooling thinking about it now. Maybe I would come on a Monday since it's $10 Martini Mondays. Soooooo Good! The setting for this place has an indoor harbour/library feel with the oyster bar in the center of it all. A small covered patio and one outdoor table that faces the street. lol I can't say enough how much I loved this place.

The server said she would bring an extra glass of water but never did so I asked it again about 30 minutes later. The location is okay. Some parking spaces in the building and some street parking place. What I found most frustrating was the mandatory healthcare charge. Why are customers expected to pay for restaurant employees' healthcare? Who pays for the customers' healthcare? I've seen similar charges at other restaurants, but they usually remove it upon request. This restaurant refused to do so. If it's not optional, it should be clearly disclosed upfront. It feels unfair to force customers to pay this without prior notice.

We forgot how difficult it can be to find parking in LA, but we managed to find one on the side of the road, just to find out... this restaurant has their own parking lot. Hehe. Went around 5pm and saw we were the first ones seated while a handful of people came and gone for to go orders. I immediately ordered the soy marinated crab and live uni. There is a combo order of both, but it includes the American marinated crab and an extra small live uni. With their recommendation, we opted for the Korean marinated crab and small uni to share with 2 adults and one kid. When the food came out, they gave us another live uni on the house and I was so happy because I didn't want to share mine! The food was so homey and delicious. The seafood pajeon was so loaded with all the seafood bits and the soy bean soup was the perfect palette cleanser. Service was great and they were so helpful to answer any questions we had. They gave us extra water for our little one and refilled our tea when it was a fourth full. They were so tentative and asked how we liked the food. We loved it. We also enjoyed the banchan!

Definitely recommend this place!…read more Service was very warm and welcoming, had such a pleasant dinner. We got the set menu A Combo and the portion was very generous. The marinated crab was very delicious, and spicy crab was even better, but the marinated crab is definitely higher quality, so if you want to get the best of both worlds order both or get the combo. When we finished ordering, appetizers came immediately and basically covered the whole table, and as a Korean restaurant with such warm hospitality I assume you can get more side dishes if you want, but we didn't want to waste any food. All dishes tasted great. The uni wasn't very surprising but it's still good, so if you are doing à la carte you can skip it. All in all a 5+ for the restaurant, also the restroom seems pretty clean so it's another plus for this smallish restaurant.
