First 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!

I really like this spot. It’s a quick, easy, build a bowl type of place. Every time I’ve 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.

I 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

Casual “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.

I 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.

Unfortunately, I will never eat here. I popped in today to pick up a doordash order. As I settled in to wait for the order, I noticed a rather large amount of flies inside the restaurant. Not just flying around, but crawling on the bread, and crawling on the ingredients! They were plain as day, and I’m pretty sure the staff saw them, but none of them made any effort to shoot them away! Absolutely disgusting!

Visited My Lai for the first time with family for a quick lunch out and was unfortunately the only of our party of 3 to have picked a dish without some issue, a Bahn mi. I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the meat and hastiness. I’ll give the team at My Lai the benefit of the doubt as they seemed rather new and unsure of their service routine. Hope to revise this to a better rating although I don’t know if I’ll be visiting that soon.

Crazy good Vietnamese food. I had Mama Mai’s Chicken & Garlic Rice my first time here and now I can’t wait to try it all. Whatever you get, make sure to get it with the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. So, so good.

Absolutely delicious to the point I’m telling my friends to try this place before I’m even finished eating. Each and every topping is so flavorful and fresh and the variety is so amazing! Very vegan friendly! I got the crispy tofu with garlic rice and salad greens plus pickled cucumbers, pickled purple cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, sprouts, cilantro, mint, basil, crunchy garlic and onions and sesame seeds with peanut sauce and sesame vinaigrette! Yum!! This concept should spread around the world! Thank you for this artistry!
