Fries Tofu Bowl
Kelli L.

I tried My Lai for the first time recently with my friend. My friend and I order their fried tofu bowl and their ban mi sandwich. The presentation was a 10/10 however the food was just okay to me. I did like that they have a really huge portions and that you can customize your bowl but overall the food was just too spicy. It was hard for me to take a couple of bites of it without drinking any water. And I think the ban mi would be better if the bread was a bit fresher and if it was toasted. The meat was kinda dry too. I think I would order the tofu bowl again if it wasn't so spicy. But if you really like spicy foods you might enjoy this place! They also have really nice seating inside and the staff was really helpful asking questions about my order.

Crispy tofu banh mi was SOOO good!

Get their crispy tofu on anything! It is SO good and flavorful. I got mine in a banh mi, but you can also get it in a bowl when you BYO. Great service, too. One of my favorite new discoveries. Will be coming here often.

Bomb Banh Mi

My Lai is usually very delicious. Today I picked up from the S. Western location since it is the nearest one to our house and I was so disappointed. They didn't have one of the items I ordered and I did t find out till I got there. They gave me a free sandwich which was nice of them. However, the beef was dry and burned as well as the egg rolls. I've been to other locations and didn't have that problem. And yes we ate the sandwich cause we were hungry. And didn't want to wait another hour to eat!

bowls are highly customizable with options from vegan to meat, different sauces and veggie toppings to choose from

Delicious vegan options I'm obsessed with the impossible meatballs and impossible egg rolls. I'll be ordering again very soon.

The Bahn mi is yummy! It is a take out spot, but besides that it's really cute from the outside. Employees here are always so nice!

I had the tofu banh mi and spring rolls. The tofu was fried and bartered on both. The order was ready very quickly. Definitely coming back!

Ask the Community - My Lai

I drove to MyLai restaurant today and there was no entrance, the doors were locked and the windows were shut. I'm confused , is this a to go restaurant only? It should state that more clearly on Yelp and Google Maps.

Hi! Thank you so much for stopping by and for reaching out. We're actually closed now - We will be… 

Are you currently accepting cash?

Hi! No we do not. This location is strictly takeout/delivery through online ordering platforms…

The pink salad here comes with a nice hummus style dressing. They are also on classpass which is nice to use your credits and order online for pickup if you don't use it for wellness places.

My partner and I have ordered salads from here and have had no issue…read more However we ordered three salads two Sunday's ago and our friend had a wrap -- well shortly a little later the three of us that had the salads got LISTERIA food poisoning! F you Saucy Greens for even thinking this is okay, because this is caused from poor sanitation/not washing hands/bad food prep. had any of us been immune compromised, we could have died! This is so not cool! Even more shady -- this business does business as: Better Salads but if you look at Saucy Salads it has the same menu and address but I'm sure Better Salads has been removed from Yelp and Google due to all the bad reviews they have received. It's so weird how Better Salads is no where to be found but can order on Grubhub... You are committing so many illegal things it's crazy. I pray the health department shuts your business down! DO NOT BUY FOOD FROM HERE UNLESS YOU WANT LISTERIA POISONING!

They have 4 restaurants in one ghost kitchen like concept. The double smash burger with 50/50 mix of beef and lamb was one of the best I've had since ground lamb burger is very rare to find. The salads for the falafel was also very good too! It's good quality good that's not too busy since it's a ghost kitchen there barely anyone ever here. Which is nice if you want a quiet spot in mid city for food.

Ok wait... how about healthy food that tastes great and amazing and unlike any food you have ever tasted?! Wait... I'm not done....how about healthy food that tastes amazing; unlike anything you have ever tasted; with a Turkish spin; still tastes like Mediterranean and open at the most ungodly hours... like 2am or 1am... wait I'm not done... how about really some of the best healthy tastiest food I've ever tried and if you feel like a burger you can still come and bring a friend who's never tried some of the healthiest and tastiest Mediterranean food they have ever tried at midnight?! You probably think I'm putting you on... These people don't play ... the quality here is exemplary... the service is kind and respectful... you would be a fool to eat Mediterranean anywhere else... and a stranger to Mediterranean if you've never tried it... Discover what the other side of the world is doing ... and I tell you... it will open your eyes! That being said...you did good ... you explored ... you are the most delicious bean falafel salad and the first you will ever try here... then went for the most delicious chicken wrap with suca yogurt sauce the freshest ingredients I've ever had for a taste explosion that the wrap will barely contain... I was soooooo good.... It was so gooo... I had to try the home made baklava and bread pudding that some say is even better than NY Mulberry bakery on 3rd street but along that style... Do i need to keep going.... Check the time... do you know what time it is.... It's Turkish Mediterranean time!!!

The Night We Met is definitely one of those places where the ambiance alone makes you want to come…read moreback! From the moment you walk in, the attention to detail is incredible. The ceiling is covered in hundreds of beautifully designed lanterns, paired with dope wall carvings, dark wood, and warm lighting that give the entire space such an intimate feel. It's moody, romantic, and honestly just a beautifully designed restaurant. Now onto the food! I ordered the Panang curry with roti, crispy tuna rice, and an Old Fashioned. The curry was rich, creamy, and paired perfectly with the flaky roti. A BIT spicy too. The crispy tuna rice was another favorite, with a nice balance of textures and flavor great starter. Overall, between the beautiful interior, great food, and intimate atmosphere, The Night We Met is a solid spot in the heart of LA.

We came here this past weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday, and unfortunately, the experience…read morewas very underwhelming. The service was lacking from the start, as our server Britney barely checked on us throughout our visit. We had to ask for water and wait 20 minutes just to place our order. The food was equally disappointing. Most of our group ordered the garlic noodles with chicken, and several of us could barely eat them. They tasted reheated and lacked the freshness and quality we expected. The only saving grace was the cocktail I ordered, which was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, one good drink wasn't enough to make up for the overall experience. It's disappointing because we came together to celebrate a special occasion, but instead, we left feeling annoyed and hangryyy. I'm a server myself so I genuinely give SOOO much grace when I'm going out to restaurants but this service was just plain neglectful and rude!l especially because we're celebrating a birthday! I'd consider coming back for drinks, but based on this experience, I wouldn't return for the food or service.
