    #1-chicken teriyaki w/ double green salad. Very tasty
    Ray M.

    Located in a very small strip mall across the street from White Memorial Hospital, this small restaurant serves some of the most delicious food anywhere in Los Angeles. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is EXTREMELY popular, as evidenced by the number of customers who came and went with food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My family and I sat in our car while we had lunch, and we counted 29 customers who entered the restaurant during a fifteen-minute period[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is clearly posted on the walls in front and behind the counter. All employees are very friendly, efficient, and hard-working; the prices are GREAT for the portion sizes; the food is perfectly prepared and DELICIOUS!! Parking is very limited in the small private parking lot. Street parking is also available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are no tables or seating inside the restaurant, so be prepared to pick up your order and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is definitely a place to visit and worth the drive, regardless of where you live.

    Mostly fat
    DiamondLee R.

    Unfortunately they never answer there phone. Place is very small. Food is decent. Ordered a few plates. One of the rib plates had so much fat on the rib that's all it was. Fat! I live a hour away from there otherwise I would've taken it back. The chicken was a bit dry. I feel like if they left it under the warmers for a while.

    Pad Thai

    Can't go wrong with Thai Deli, food is fresh to order and delicious! My favorite combo is Chili Shrimp and the Pad Thai! Cash only!

    #8 Korean BBQ Beef & Thai BBQ Chicken
    Katie C.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hole in a wall, more of a grab and go spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can see why it gets busy during lunch rushes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely need to stop by more for lunch. #25 Pad Se Ew -so flavorful and a bang for your buck! You can really taste the wok heat. Noodles were bouncy. Saucy but not too wet. We ordered with shrimp. Shrimp was fresh, crisp with a snap. What more can you ask for. #8 Korean BBQ Beef & Thai BBQ Chicken -beef was a little chewier than I prefer but still really flavorful and tender enough. Chicken was juicy and well marinated. Chicken curry was good but not the best. I would stick to their other dishes.

    Tasty food with large portions at a great price $ I ordered the Thai bbq chicken plate. It comes with fried rice and a salad, paired with the sweet sauce they use chef's kiss! I placed a large order for 8 ppl and the service was incredible. The gentleman that answered the phone was so helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is small and parking can get tough so i recommend order for take out/pick up[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Drink menu

    Good food, great prices, pickup only, cash only. Start with the # 1, go double mac if you don't like burger toppings as salad (I don't mind it). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior leaves a little too be desired, but I'm there to pickup my lunch & go, so....[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]‍ Parking in the lot can be chaotic, best if you have a pal to circle the block while you go in to get the food. Staff is very focused & do their best to be friendly while very busy. I usually call in about 15 min ahead, but it can take longer when real busy.

    Crispy , Golden Egg Rolls  (Get the 3 piece..1 is not enough)
    Nayled R.

    Located in a small plaza with a tricky one way parking lot lies a diamond in the rough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As you enter , your eyes get lost in the big pictured, outdated menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sound & smell of grill marks becomes intoxicating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A cop walks in, your body tenses up. "NEXT! How may I help you?"Breaks you away from your trance. I love this place! CASH ONLY. No dine in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very busy due to deliciousness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] pager provided so you can chill in your car until your order is ready. I advise calling in your order if you are in a rush. Egg rolls are a must try, you will find yourself willing to sit in rush hour traffic for the crunch itself ‍

    #8
    Jose D.

    Is it Thai? Is it Deli? It's neither and both all at once. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It speaks for itself when you roll into the parking lot of a shopping plaza and they have a security guiding cars in and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hawaiian style Mac salad short ribs with healthy amounts of meat and perfectly seasoned and cooked chicken. Too much food for one sitting I killed the Mac salad and some of the protein in the most popular #8, and made a meal out of the Leftover by adding some broccoli. Also had the beef pad see ew and was also delicious. A new favorite, [[HIGHLIGHT]]Call ahead and go with a partner to jump out and take your food to go to a nearby park and enjoy some of that LA sunshine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] CASH ONLY and a great value.

    Menu as of July 21, 2025
    Angelica T.

    As always, delicious food. Even better... Now they offer a matcha green tea, which is an absolute favorite of mine! They also offer party trays but you have to ask them about it and how much. We called in ahead and got a half order of short ribs, some pad see ew and macaroni on the side and we had a feast. Only downside is cash only if they would only take zelle, this place would be perfect.

    Chow mein bbq short rib hawain chicken
    Ashley G.

    Chow mein is 10/10z it has so much flavor that you don't need soy sauce. I called to order and it was ready on time. The short ribs are so good. Mac salad is different than ono Hawaiian bbq but still good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is tiny and no where to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    What is the Thai bbq chicken?

    It's chicken in Thai style marinade sauce. I'd like to call it yellow chicken because I use curry powder as one of the main ingredient.

    Are there any Vegan options?

    Yes..almost if the pan-friend menu, you can order vegetarians

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. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.

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!

I guess because they made some YouTube videos and promoted by their thai friends, but I was very disappointed in the food that was served. So here we go let's get into it. Pad kee mao.

Nothing special, had better at other establishments in the plaza. 3 stars Pad thai was my least favorite and the worst pad Thai I tried. My daughter told me that it was not good. And all she order from thai restaurants is pad Thai. I usually think she doesn't know really, but after I tried it. I had to agree. Worst pad thai we tasted. It basically tasted like fish sauce. 1 star Duck curry soup was good, nice creamy broth, with loads of onions, bell peppers, pineapple chunks. 5 stars Yea I would most definitely try the other restaurants in the plaza guys. 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.
