$-$$, Vietnamese, Silver Lake
Fodor's Review:
Traditional Vietnamese favorites emerge from this café's open kitchen, sometimes with a California twist. With a minimalist decor marked by tropical wood banquettes, Silver Lake's bohemian past and über-trendy present converge at Gingergrass. Consider classic crispy-skinned imperial rolls (filled with chicken, veggies, or crab and shrimp, served with lettuce and mint for wrapping), variations on pho (Vietnam's ubiquitous noodle soup), and Cal-light versions of bánh mì (baguette sandwiches that fuse French and Southeast Asian traditions), along with a refreshing basil-lime elixir.
