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!
Quinn V.

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.

Apparently choosing "Pickup" means DoorDash will deliver your food.
Tina D.

The app is unclear. Apparently choosing "Pickup" means DoorDash will deliver your food. Since this is a window restaurant, along with a couple others, curbside pickup is your only other option. According the nice apologetic people there, our food was picked up by DoorDash, 15 - 20 minutes before we stopped by to pick up our order. They kindly re-made our order for us while we waited at the curb. We checked our cameras and even looked on our porch. 45 minutes after or pickup time, nothing had been delivered. Someone is stealing from this poor business. I hope they can figure out how this is happening. We will be back. We support our neighborhood businesses. Buyer beware.

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!

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.

Like Mediterranean?! Enjoy healthy food... how about healthy food prepared fresh and that tastes…read moreamazing?! 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!!!

Nice ambiance with fast cooks. Tons of online orders and delivery pickups. They have tables inside…read moreand outside with a parking lot shared free with other tenants. 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.

I had such a great experience at Lucia Mediterranean Grill. I paid $1.25 for an hour of parking,…read morebut it was absolutely money well spent. The restaurant has a really homey feeling inside, with about four small tables that make it feel cozy and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. My partner and I ordered the chicken shish kebabs with mejadra rice, salad, and sumac fries. Everything was delicious! The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

Lucia's was a good lunch spot! Their chicken was well served with all the sides and fixings. We…read moreopted for the rice instead of the Jerusalem salad and it was a good choice! We did not really interact with anyone to order, as we had to order in a kiosk but they brought the food out to our table. The place itself had 3 tables indoors and a couple of tables outdoors! We came during the rain so it was pretty empty but still a nice vibe.

I've been to The Grain a few times, usually for breakfast, which is okay…read more This time, I just needed a vegan dessert, so I ordered their strawberry almond cake on Doordash. LET ME SAY THIS: If they upgrade the icing? This would be the BEST Strawberry cake I've ever had in my LIFE. The cake itself is so soft, flavorful, and sweet without being overly so. The icing is chalky and doesn't live up to how fantastic the cake is. I would absolutely love it if they swapped it out for vegan whipped cream and fresh strawberries. If you go to The Grain, GET THIS CAKE! ...just scrape the icing off.

Flees, flees, ticks, bugs, and more flies!…read more They were literally EVERYWHERE. I came here for my birthday and was given a swarm of flees at our table as a birthday welcome! It was so bad that we moved tables! But that didn't help. These flies were downright terrorists! And I could not continue the uncivil and unholy war with them. So I couldn't even finish my food. And guess what I did? In the spirit of these Army Veteran flies, I FLED the scene! When a place has flees and flies like this, they should CLOSE down and address the issue. I could only imagine what their kitchen looks like. And that probably means they don't wash their food or other items properly. Go to ANY location EXCEPT this one. Do NOT come here. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
