We went to see a show at the Center Theatre Group and before the performance we had a fantastic vegan dinner at Âu Lạc!
Downtown LA has several excellent museums and performance venues, but is not the first place one might think of when looking for great vegan food. If you are planning an afternoon at The Broad or an evening at the Walt Disney Concert Hall definitely add Âu Lạc to your itinerary.
Âu Lạc serves plant-based Vietnamese fusion food and its a literal 5 min walk from the the above mentioned cultural destinations.
The vibe is welcoming and comfortable - perfect for conversations.
Our meal was delightful and invigorating. We shared the BBQ Pork Roll, Bird's Eye Tofu, Egg Rolls, and Pho Veggie - All wonderful. The Pork Roll and the Pho were the standouts for us. The Pho broth was sublime.
Everything we ate was flavorful and clean feeling. Which is a magical combination ideal for a pre theater dinner or epic museum crawl, as it keeps the heart and mind open and clear.
FYI, there are no alcoholic beverages, but they do have AMAZING teas. We shared the Magic Mushroom Elixir and it was transcendent!
We left with joyful and bright spirits, ready for our theater date.
