Great hidden gem for vegetarians + the best service in town.
While we veggie folk know that most Asian places will substitute tofu for any dishes in lieu of meat, we also know it is hard to find a place where the tofu isn't a crappy tasting substitute that they don't really want to serve ...
This is not the case at Ling and Louie's. The fried tofu in just about everything and in every sauce is delicious. I kick it way up the spicy meter with 2 or 3 dishes of chili paste and mix that in with my (off the menu) Evil Jungle Tofu. It is so good that I am actually happy that the portions are too large for me to finish. I can nosh on this dish all night ... well after I've left the restaurant.
I'm a pretty simple beer and whiskey drinker, but I my wife loves the great drinks that they make here. They come in blue, red, purple, and green ... I don't know what's in them, but she loves them.
The servers treat you like family and are always extra nice to our little one. They don't put a hot plate in front of a 2 year old like most restaurants and have a vast selection of items for the mini me in your life. The staff is always quick to grab a high chair a few crayons and a fun kids menu.
Every time I've been, it's busy ... but not uncomfortably so. We're always sat quickly and never rushed. The decor is cool and it's casual enough for the entire family and nice enough to impress a date.
Don't miss out on this one. A real 5 out of 5.
