| - This place is a regular stop for me. I first became one of their patrons at their other restaurant, Lemon Tree, in Lynwood. When I told Sonny, the owner that I don't eat meat, he assured me that he would make sure that everything that was prepared for me was meat and fish sauce free. Afterward, I told my family about it and it became one of our Sunday rituals to eat there after church. We had to stop going, because they stopped being open on Sundays (boo!), but then Sonny called us to let us know that he had opened up another restaurant that was :)
Their veggie spring rolls are my favorite thing to order there, and we all wind up sharing the plate of fluffy, crispy salt & pepper tofu. I've gone there so often I've practically memorized the menu. For the adventurous, they offer a durian shake, which none of us has balls big enough to order. Sonny also happens to be the chef at Rice for King, so he always takes care of us and he's not at all precious about his menu. If you want to leave something out or add a couple of fried eggs, he's more than willing to accommodate you. My family likes to order the beef ball soup with extra balls. The only neg I'd have is that the soup sometimes is a little on the salty side, but that can be easily remedied with the lime slices they give you.
Delicious food, friendly service and an owner that makes you feel at home. And! They deliver in 45 minutes when you're too drunk to cook for yourself.
