Delicious! If you look too fast, you'll miss it. It's pretty small, but super cute. I absolutely love the bowels and rolls. Totally worth it.

My Lai is usually very delicious. Today I picked up from the S. Western location since it is the nearest one to our house and I was so disappointed. They didn't have one of the items I ordered...

This is a nice healthier casual dining spot. Great for to-go or a quick lunch option. Nice selection of proteins and generous portions of fresh green and veggie choices and love the customization...

I tried My Lai for the first time recently with my friend. My friend and I order their fried tofu bowl and their ban mi sandwich. The presentation was a 10/10 however the food was just okay to me....

Get their crispy tofu on anything! It is SO good and flavorful. I got mine in a banh mi, but you can also get it in a bowl when you BYO. Great service, too. One of my favorite new discoveries....
