"Luc Lac is known as a hip and energetic late-night staple for steaming bowls of pho and colorful bun. The five-spice-fragrant pho broth is the recipe of co-owner Alan Ho’s grandmother, with meatballs, brisket, and round steak available; some don’t know that all the usual favorites — tripe, tendon, etc. — are available as well, for those who ask. Luc Lac now closes at 11 p.m." - Janey Wong, Krista Garcia
