    Pineapple Fried Rice and Papaya Salad
    John D.

    One of the few spots closing late at night in the area, 2am! Headed here at 11pm for to-go. It's a cozy little restaurant and the service was fast for our to-go food. The Pineapple Fried Rice was decent with a good amount of Pineapple and Chicken, but the Papaya Salad could use a little more flavor. Overall, if you need a place to munch late at night, this place is a good option.

    Horrible thai food! I was really excited to try this place since I live walking distance and it was a huge disappointment. I got the street noodles with grilled pork and the noodles tasted like clumped 3 day old ramen noodles with soy sauce poured on them and the pork was super fatty and had a really bad gamey flavor. This dish did nottt look like it did in the menu pictures. The papaya salad was also just ok and did not taste like it normally does at other spots. I would not go back ever, such a bummer!

    we could only find curbside parking that was right outside of the restaurant if you get lucky. the restaurant is small but lots of seating, might be hard with a big group but plus side it is open very late! service: 5/5 our server here was so nice and friendly. i had a question about one of the drinks on the menu and she told me it was like thai tea pink drink which sounded interesting but i worried that it might be too sweet since thai tea itself is already super sweet. our food came out quickly and we were checked on throughout our meal :) food: 5/5 i ordered the pad thai with tofu. it was so yummy, i love when the noodles are rich with flavor and not dry. the tofu was perfectly cooked as well. i also enjoyed the touch of the fried wonton on the side as well. i was hungry so i ate this up and i was satisfied.

    Chicken Dumplings (6) Fried or Steamed

    Excellent service ! my friends and I tried it! it was sooo delicious fried rice is good too! definitely recommend

    Great late night Thai food spot! They close at 2am the service was great super friendly and fast. The vibe inside was good they had good music playing. The food was great ordered soup and a rice dish and a drink!

    Chicken sa-te

    I rarely leave bad reviews but I feel the need to warn people. The dumplings were fine but steer clear of the chicken sate unless you actually mean to order freeze-dried chicken. I did not.

    Pork Pad Thai
    Tommy L.

    If you're craving Thai food and think a classic pad Thai will hit the spot, this one was... fine. Nothing bad, nothing great. The noodles looked good at first glance but turned out a little on the dry side, wish there was a bit more of that sweet, tangy sauce that ties it all together. The pork was tender enough, and the egg and bean sprouts added that familiar texture mix, but it just didn't have the depth or punch you hope for in a solid pad Thai. Visually, it looked the part, steaming noodles, a wedge of lime, a little crunch on the side, but flavor-wise, it landed squarely in the "meh" zone. At $16.99, it felt a bit steep for something so middle-of-the-road. $13.00 would've made more sense for what you get. Not a disaster, just not memorable. Probably won't be back for round two.

    I'm really disappointed. I requested mild because I couldn't find a "no spice" option, but this dish was extremely spicy -- not mild at all. I couldn't eat it. I even tried adding water, but it didn't help. The potatoes were hard, and one piece of chicken didn't seem cooked through. I had to throw it away, which was so upsetting after waiting for delivery so late at night. I have a sensitive stomach and this made me feel sick after 2 spoons. I've had Thai food before and mild dishes were never this spicy. I hope the restaurant can be more careful about spice levels for customers who request mild. Literally really wanted to cry because I was starving waiting for this and I had to throw it away. I hate throwing away food but this was uneatable.

    Nice small cafe with Thai food. The cooking time was fast. My pad thai ok. They have parking on street available. I was expecting rice instead of noodles, they didn't ask me and I forgot to clarify, since I was thinking it's always rice. I'd say it's a fusion cafe, not an original taste of Thailand food. Would be also nice if they have asked me about spicy levels and of if I have any nut ( peanut) allergies

    Pad Thai

    Just started ordering from this spot not too long ago thru deliverysand It literally turned out to be one of my favorite spot in LA. Food is straight up fire !! Ordered the Rice Thai and the Pad Thai.100/10.I'll order again and again....

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters.

The rice was piping hot and the mangos were sweet and soft, drizzled with a generous serving of sweet coconut milk. Personally, the rice was a bit too soft for me and the coconut milk was a tad too sweet, but it still scratched the itch I had for mango sticky rice. I went close to closing so the staff could only offer me takeout, which was fine. They were friendly both over the phone and in-person when I picked up my order. I'm only dinging it a point because of its high(er) price point. I would be down to go back again to try out their entrees next time though!

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site. Prices were very reasonable.

I can't believe it's been 12 years--and I'm so happy to say it was every bit as incredible as I remembered. My friend and I came for lunch. I ordered the vegetable pho, and she had the curry rice. Both dishes were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, comforting, and beautifully prepared. Honestly, I wish we had more time because we had another appointment downtown. I would have loved to try more dishes and definitely dessert! Our server was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and incredibly professional. He checked on us at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. The service was as impressive as the food. The restaurant has such a warm, relaxing atmosphere. I especially loved the beautiful ceramic water cups with bird designs--they were so unique and charming. Even the water tasted wonderful! I'm thrilled that Au Lac is still thriving after all these years. If anything, the food tasted even better than I remembered. I certainly won't wait another 12 years before coming back. In fact, I was so impressed that I convinced my husband to come with me next Saturday for dinner! I've tried many vegan restaurants over the years, and Au Lac remains my absolute favorite. My favorite on the Westside is Variable Café, but if you're willing to drive a little farther, Au Lac is on another level. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Whether you're vegan or not, this place is truly outstanding. Five stars without hesitation!

Dont go for the hype. Thai central or crispy pork gang. Unfortunately I will never come to ruenpair again. They won't miss me as a customer by the way the line out the door is. But trust me it's not all that great. Hey do take my word for it, give them a try. Matter of fact give them all a try. Let me know what restaurant you think is the best in that plaza. Also they automatically change 18% gratuity which I think is illegal and a robbery. Tip should be for the customer to decide. Depending on service and food. Not because you think you deserve it, because imo you did not. Ka kon kapp
