A house specialty is Mohinga , a fish soup, created from stock made from whole fish stewed down to its essence with lemongrass, chili and garlic. It also contains an irresistible combination of whole cooked shallots, a banana stem and a hard-boiled egg, all garnished with a yellow lentil cracker for an added crunch factor.
It’s a perfect light appetizer to start your feast at the restaurant. Don’t forget to order the fried wontons.It’s a bold, deeply viscous broth which reaches a velvety texture from a combination of cooked hominy and fatty chunks of bone-in pork. Those hunks of pork were almost too big to fit onto a spoon, forcing me to grab them out of the bowl with my hands. It resulted in some seriously sticky fingers — but a very happy heart.Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
No, it's not a soup as such, but it is a 5-oz cheeseburger — bun included — that's covered with piping hot white clam chowder, dotting it with tiny bits of potato and clams. For a couple of bucks more, they can add a handful of fried clam strips, which is totally worth it. The succulent cuts of beef came in a light, semi-sweet tasting broth with notes of ginger and star anise. Alternating between slurps of the soup and bites of two juicy oxtail felt almost restorative. Am I a pho-Holic? Guilty as charged.Right now, you can help protect LAist's mission to provide local reporting to all in our community.
