| - I stumbled across the below review a few weeks ago...had even driven by this place zillions of times, always been curious, never made it in....till today. This little place is a gem, in a most unlikely (and improving) part of town. So I came in to grab a to go dish, but found myself wandering through every isle to see what goodies they had. This is a far more extensive selection than I would have ever imagined. Lots of fresh fruits, herbs, and veggies, some leaning on the more exotic side too. Lot's of other items packed tightly along many narrow isles. I totally freaked when I saw the live kaffir lime trees for sale. Finally, I make it over to the "to go" cooler. The choices, for the most part, are pre-made, in a plastic container, ready for the microwave. I am not too impressed. I grab my selection of Nam Kao, pay, and go. I get home, and try some cold. One bite and I am absolutely stunned at how delicious this stuff is. A whole complexity of flavors splash around happily around the taste bud area. Six bucks for this plasto-container of a taste sensation, that comes with a separate offering of some type of lettuce and mint. These are strictly to go meals here, but wow, worth checking out. People of Downtown you now know. I probably would have never stopped in had it not been for Cindy's review, thanks Cindy!
