While any carnivore or vegetarian would enjoy the menu here, which includes such Asian veggie standards as beef and broccoli and kung pao chicken, the only real way to thoroughly appreciate Au Lac is if you've been exposed to authentic Vietnamese food. This is the restaurant to revisit all the dishes your mom made you eat growing up: "fish" cuon, bo bia rolls, pho, bo luc lac! Bonus: The place is decorated like the interior of a spaceship. Unintentionally, of course.
