Vietnamese restaurant
Great food, cooked fresh per order.I've been coming here for 25 years.It's like being in a private kitchen of Nam's home.It only seats about 20.If you sit at the counter you can watch Nam chop your vegetables that she takes out of the box that they get delivered in, and the girddle and burners for pots and pans are all right in front of you like an old breakfast diner. The food is delicious and portions are good size.Business hours are short but you figure you are eating in her home kitchen is the feeling you get so, you deal with the hours.
Small place on 23rd and Pacific in San Pedro.Normally this kind of place you drive by.But do yourself a favor they're open for lunch and dinner only and got to stop and eat because you keep coming back.I've been eating there for 35 years.The owner is the chef right there in front of you.Snow does all her own prep work.Her son is the waiter and handles the counter and register.Pretty much a two-person show.They have an appetizer called Imperial Rolls, Almost every person that comes in orders this appetizer.Can't explain it it's just fantastic.It's like an egg roll that you wrap in lettuce and cucumber cilantro and mint dip it in a fish sauce, and when you bite down on it, you get a hot Crunchyroll wrapped with lettuce and the cucumber and herbs inside.Plan flat just good.There dinner dishes are put together with chicken or pork or beef or shrimp.You put these dishes together with different sauces and Seasonings, with some rice, noodles, fried noodles and vegetables.Hot dishes, curry dishes, fried rice and daily specials.If you like this style of food you'll love this place.
Snow's Imperial Rolls always hit the spot. After 30 years we still look forward to our visits. Hours currently 11:30am to 1pm. Order ahead and take out.
