Beautiful decorated and designed. When you enter the place you start looking around from top to bottom.Great ordering system and fast. The cashier was also very knowledgeable and niceThe food was amazing must try everything

Found this spot during a recent business trip to Portland. When I arrived, there was a line out the door and down the street - a great sign. I had some time so I got in line and it moved reasonably quickly. You order at the counter and they give you a table number. The food came quickly and it was fantastic. I got the wings small plate and the Luc Lac plate with the marinated tenderloin. Both were excellent.

Luc Lac, I love you. Arriving to Portland at 2am and wanted to hit up a good restaurant. Pho was on my mind as it was pretty cold! Here we go, walking to Luc Lac because it was one of the only restaurants open and boy was I happy! Friday and Saturday late night hours are: 12-4AM!!! There is a food God! I loved the hipster/chic, low light vibes. Food: - Chicken wings: deep fried wings, fish sauce and garlic. I am a complete pig and I ate these by myself. - Pho: Train Pho - Everything in it: steak, brisket, meatballs, tendon and tripe. The broth was absolutely amazing!!! Drinks: - Rosè all day - I believe I ordered two of these! Bottomline: Go here when you are in Portland. I will return every single time. I loved it soooo much. #takemeback

Hip-hop and Pho?! Sign me up.The place gets pretty crowded (for good reason, the food is bomb!) So plan ahead.Great drinks menu here, too!

Great vibes. The plate presentation was nice. The food itself is good, but nothing that'll make you want to smake yo mama . The drink had one giant ice cube with "LL" engraved in it. I thought that was an elegant touch:) and the drink was strong. You order and pay at the counter before sitting. It also askes for the tip at time of payment. While at the table, zero customer service. They drop the food and drink from the bar off and that's the last you get service. This was the 1st time here, if I had known, I would have done that part differently.

Just. So. Good. Chicken Coconut Curry was phenomenal. Couldn't eat it all. Crazy amounts of atmosphere. This place should be part of your visit to Portland.

Not as good as I anticipated. Very noisy , menu not very exciting and tastes not very exciting. Would Only return if other options were not available.

We were visiting town and decided to give this place a try. Although I didn’t what to expect of this place at first since it had kind of a hipster vibe, I was both very happy and pleased with the food and drinks, as well as the service. Our party consisted of 9 people and we were accommodated in the seating area outside, which was warm and nice. Next, the food was delicious and definitely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their banh mi and curry plate.

What anaest says is far from the truth. I am staying at a hotel a few blocks away, and the staff was courteous enough to text me a list of nearby restaurants. I looked at the menus, settled on this, and I can’t wait to go back tomorrow. The crowd at such a late time of night, apparently agrees with me. It may be a bit overpriced, but not much. The guy taking orders could stand to be a lot friendlier.

Luc Lac was great! The place on a weekend night was packed, so lines were long but worth the wait. Food was served quickly, and was extremely good. The namesake Luc Lac was fantastic, as was the pho.The price point on the food was great, although the luc Lac was the most expensive (and also worth it). You could easily spend less than $15 for a single meal here. The tipping point are the drinks, which are very yummy as well! But the price point on a bar drink matches some of the full meals!Would 100% come back here, just skip the drinks if you're on a budget.
