"A former hotspot for the late-night set, Luc Lac has scaled back to closing at 11 p.m. since the pandemic, but the food and drinks are as good as ever. Among enormous bowls of pho and crisp, herby salad rolls are housemade nonalcoholic beverages like the durian horchata with honeydew, pandan, and jasmine rice milk; the Thai tea creamosa with lime leaf syrup and whipped salty coconut cream; and ginger ale with roasted coconut water and a selection of juices, including passionfruit or guava and grapefruit. You’ll also find plenty of standards, like Vietnamese iced coffee and lychee juice." - Emily Venezky, Janelle Lassalle, Thom Hilton
