2023-11-20 00:09:47We can’t say enough good things about this establishment and the creators/owners and staff.They catered our wedding a month ago and I am still receiving texts from guests talking about how delicious the food was. We honestly aren’t surprised, as the power couple/owners Traci & Shad Davis have been putting out some of the best food in Los Angeles for years. 🙌🙌My Lai offers some of the most delicious and fresh food we have ever eaten, no exaggeration. There’s a reason we asked them to cater our wedding. You can taste that every single ingredient is thought out and perfectly executed. Nothing is looked over, and Traci puts together the most beautiful displays. We couldn’t be prouder.If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and get over to one of their 3 LA locations. These people know food.

2023-11-07 01:56:32Definitely can tell the veggies are as fresh as possible, and the chicken portions were not skimpy. Great sauce selection too. And the gentleman helping us tonight (11/6) was very helpful.Reminded me of mom’s cooking; unsure if I can give finer praise.

2023-11-18 04:21:19Pretty good option for a more new age take on Vietnamese food! I was skeptical at first since I am used to amazing home cooked meals from the in-laws. However, My Lai managed to do a good job getting the base flavors in with a twist. Definitely a solid option for decent Vietnamese food in West LA.

2023-03-08 00:41:28First time here. Ordering online and picking up was super easy. Food is amazing! We ordered two banh mi, two bowls and two drinks. Bread is very crispy and crunch. All the veggies are super fresh. Meats are so well seasoned. We absolutely love everything we got today!

2022-07-05 19:43:02I really like this spot. Its a quick, easy, build a bowl type of place. Every time Ive been in, they always have a line, plus nonstop Togo orders! Even so, service is always quick and efficient. I also like going here because the bowls are really large and I can save mine over two meals 😋 I got my order Togo but they have both a small indoor and cute outdoor seating area.Also, as a note to customers: please be respectful! I know its hard to control yourself, but please do not stick your hand over the glass at service counters. I used to work at a similar style place, and this is a rude and unsanitary thing people do. Maybe you dont even notice, but if you go into a restaurant that has a glass counter, please try to control yourself from reaching over. Thanks!

2023-09-08 00:20:38Got pork with noodles and a bunch of toppings. Very tasty 😋 They can fit surprising amount of food in a single bowl.

2021-03-14 06:49:14I found a new favorite spot!!!! Make your own salad at a very great price. Super healthy, colorful and tasty. The girls were very friendly and helpful with the selections. I’m obsessed. Go check them out you’ll be coming back. They also have vegan options

2021-12-14 05:13:20Casual “build your own bowl” Vietnamese spot. Came here with a friend and we both were very excited to try some fresh eats. I opted for a bowl with crispy tofu, garlic rice, a generous amount of veggies (definitely get the pickled cucumber and the fried onions & garlic), as well as the fish sauce and cilantro ginger sauce. My friend opted for the banh mi with pork, and also an egg roll on the side. My tofu came out fresh and there was enough food that I had leftovers for lunch the next day.Metered street parking is available, and it was easy to find a spot on a weeknight. There is free street parking further down the road by the school, if you’re looking to get some steps in. Indoor high top seating is available, though most people seemed to opt for takeout. Credit cards are accepted. The concept is similar to a Chipotle or Cava, and there are vegan options available (not part of the elite perk). The staff were all super friendly and efficient.

2020-08-20 20:31:49I love this place and plan to be back. We were venturing out from Echo Park to Culver City. We decided to try this place because it sounded a bit unique and because we LOVE Vietnamese food. The bowl scene has been amazing. We have had lots of Korean bowls around Echo Park and Hollywood area, but never a Vietnamese bowl.The service was great and friendly. Since we had never been before they offered us some helpful hints with sauces and toppings. Printed menus are by the door if you are trying to build your own bowl.The food was fresh and perfect. The pickled items were just the right amount of crunch and everything I picked melded well together.They have a points system as well- which is always a perk.Like I said we plan to be back soon. I hope they are able to duke it out with COVID! Best of luck guys.

2023-04-05 23:24:16Edit: gave them another shot and quality is back to normal——Edit: I don’t know what happened but their quality dropped a lot. Used to love the chicken but now it’s ridiculously dry. Portion decreased too. Will be looking else where for my lunch.—-Favorite work lunch place. Huge portion at a reasonable price. Also interesting choice for store name but appreciate the nod to the culture and history of where the food comes from.
