Editorial Review for Gingergrass – by Ceci Najar

In Short
Former Le Colonial chef Mako Antonishek and her partners have renovated an old dive bar and turned it into a comfortable dinner spot with cork walls and dark Brazilian wood banquettes. Local couples and families order at the counter from an affordable menu offering classic Vietnamese fare, like Saigon-style lettuce spring rolls, caramelized shrimp and bahn mi (Vietnamese pork sandwiches).

Good food and as a previous user stated "authentic vietnamese" food but it's still good. The servers are only wrapped up about their friends coming through the door and socializing so just feel free to yell and wave to get their attention. Heck even get up yourself to get that condiment you're looking for. What can you expect you're in Silverlake. The shaking beef and mako salad and if you like shrimp entree are recommended. Pass on the desserts and any of the appetizers other than the imperial rolls.

Pros: Food

Cons: Parking when it gets crowded, oh and the people that serves you.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Love the design of the place and super incredible food. The waiters are speed lightning and if you can catch one it's a miracle. If you don't get their early enough expect an hour wait!

Pros: the food & great design--killer Ambience; parking can be tricky.

Cons: the wait...--Not a first date spot because if you don't like your date then you don't want them to know about it.
