[[Allolex]] comments: There have been periods where I've ordered from Au Lac twice a week. I'm a big fan of their food since it's always tasty and not laden with grease like a lot of East Asian takeaways are. Maybe this is due to the fact that they are a restaurant that does takeaway, and work to a higher standard. |

Au Lac is well-known in the neighbourhoods surrounding Highbury Park and Blackstock Road. It is a cosy, dark Vietnamese restaurant that advertises air conditioning in summer. The quality of the food is fairly consistent, the weekends showing the least consistency.
They deliver to the surrounding areas, within 2 miles of their location, usually quite promptly. Allolex has often received deliveries within 20 minutes of ordering.
Specialties include seafood starters, such as "Squid with garlic and chilli" and banh xeo (billed as "Traditional Vietnamese Pancake"), cold chicken and prawn salads (lotus shoots, kohlrabi and morning glory), curry dishes, "Crispy Tilapia", and pho (a kind of soup). they also have a vegetarian selection which also offers food appropriate for vegans.
The prices range from £2.50 to £11, but most dishes are around £5.
