I like to hit up this place when i'm in the mood for something a little different. I really love their claypot curry dish, shaking beef, and salmon with coconut rice, as well as their ginger-lime elixir drink. (Not a fan, however, of the "shrimp chip" things they give you before the meal.)

Busy joint on Glendale Blvd. Great food, good location. Vietnamese food with an LA twist. Everything is good.

One of my favorite banh mi sandwiches in town. Comes with a side of shrimp chips. It's super filling. The Vietnamese chicken salad is huge and pretty tasty. Good service.

Place is quite tasty and very clean inside.

I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind traveling miles to eat good food. I know this little Vietnamese restaurant/market in Chinatown, which I don't even know the name of, and I've been going there for years. They serve really great Vietnamese Noodle soup and other great dishes, and it's always full of Vietnamese people. Gingergrass is not in that league, BUT they do it well in their own way. The ingredients are fresh. That's really great. Even some of the "authentic" Vietnamese restaurants give you basil or mint with wilting edges - don't even talk about bean sprouts! For a restaurant in the prime spot in Silver Lake, Gingergrass is not as pretentious as other places and their prices are reasonable.
