Silver Lake News - Neighborly Referrals

Brand new Vietnamese restaurant located at the intersection of Glendale Blvd. and Silver Lake Blvd. Best time to go is for lunch (open at 11:30 AM) or else be prepared to wait! This popular restaurant is generally packed in the evenings. With delicious, exotic fresh Vietnamese cuisine, this restaurant is the new culinary ''hot spot' in Silver Lake. We stopped in for lunch yesterday and the place was hopping! We selected an appetizer to share: the 'gingergrass' fresh rolls, consisting of crab and avocado rolled with lettuce and cucumbers served with a creamy spicy aloli (delicious but just a 'tease', i.e. tiny and pricey at $5.50). Our entrees consisted of two of the lunch plates: pork chops marinated in a garlic-shallot sauce and grilled; and the wok-tossed salad: slices of chicken breast in a lemongras-basil-ginger sauce. Both were spicy and delicious; large portions and a good value at only $7.95 each. They were both served with broken rice and Vietnamese slaw. We were too full for dessert. As we watched the other diners eating, we couldn't help but notice what was on their plates! We definitely want to try the other items on the menu! The char-broiled sugar cane shrimp appetizer and the jack and ginger salad looked particularly appealing.
