Review: My daughter, told me about this place after going there with a friend. My three daughters and I have been there four times in the last 2 months and have tried almost every dish. Everything is fabulous and the portions are huge. We always have leftovers for the next day. The staff is very friendly. Service is prompt and courteous.Inside is clean and inviting. I highly recommend Au Lac even if you aren't vegan. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Pros: great value * large portions * friendly staff
Cons: * * |

Review: I visited Au Lac for the first time a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed the yummy vegan food. As opposed to some of the other reviews, I found the prices quite reasonable and the portions were large (I didn't finish my meal). I also thought the staff were super nice. I could see myself hanging out here, enjoying the good food and reading a book. I will definitely be coming back often!
Pros: Great Food * Good Prices * Cool atmosphere
Cons: * * |

Review: I LOVE Au Lac. I have been living in the Fresno area for almost 24 years, and only just discovered it a month ago. I don't know what I did before I knew about this place!
The food was fantastic. I got the eggplant dish and my friend got the lemongrass "chicken". Both were fantastic, and try as I might, I could NOT finish what was on my plate. I was thrilled to have enough leftovers for lunch the next day.
The staff was very friendly, the food was great, and I left completely satisfied. If you are ever in the Fresno area, visit Au Lac.
Pros: Fantastic Food * Great Value * Great Staff
Cons: none * * |

Review: I'm looking at the other posts where they say they didn't get big enough portions, and I am floored. How much can you people EAT? My plate is always heaping- and I loooove the garlic chicken and happy burgers! He won't take credit, but if you're a regular, you can write a check and that might help. I do wish it had a little more ambiance, but the staff is always very friendly and its a nice place to grab a bite and do a little homework.

• I think the portions tend to vary by dish. I used to go here all the time when I lived in Fresno and sometimes I got a TON of food and other times I was left hungry. It was a little hit or miss, but that was over a year ago.. response by jojob

Review: I thought the prices were reasonable and the food is good. I specially liked the barbque chicken. However, I went to Lubys restaurant and have found a new favorite place. As long as Lubys is open I will never go back. The portions at Au Lac are small for the price.
Pros: tasty * friendly staff *
Cons: small portions * pricey * |

Review: After visiting Luby Chinese, a few friends and I decided to hit this joint and see what all the fuss was about. And not what we expected. A neat place, but we read they had "vegan deserts". They don't sell that anymore and when we tried to order off of the 12 menu item, there was only like 5 things available that day. The price was out of my budget and the portions were terrible. It came with some exotic vegetables that had no taste. The lemongrass which was great though, but also their drinks? It was 2 bucks for a tiny cup of Apple Juice.
Its worth the try only ONCE. But other than that, stick to Luby or Little Peking.
Pros: Empty * Friendly *
Cons: Price * Portion * |

Review: Au Lac is definitely one of my favorite places to eat, I sometimes eat there every day. It's a very cool, clean environment and the people who work there are always very helpful and nice. It's affordable and fast. My favorites are the Garlic Chicken and Teriyaki Burger, although I've liked everything I have tried.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: Near the heart of the tower district sits an amazing vegetarian restaurant. The menu is varied from hamburgers and chow mein to pho and changes constantly. The food is delicious and the prices are great (5.95 to 6.95 a plate). All the menu items are vegan or can be made vegan. I've had the teriyaki burger, chow mein, happy burger, and special tofu. All were scrumptious.
Pros: Great location * Great food * Great prices
Cons: Weird hours * Some food can be salty * |

Review: This is a great restaurant with the best soy chicken I've ever tasted (lemongrass chicken). The food is fresh, healthy and nicely-seasoned with a tasty side salad, too. The service is amazingly friendly and they also have superb vegan cakes. Really low prices, too, considering the value of the food. Highly recommended.
Pros: Taste * Value * Service
Cons: Doesn't take credit cards * * |
