"Our Favorite Dishes: Garlic Crab, Pomelo Salad, Toothpick Lamb, Shaken Beef, Shrimp With Garlic Noodles In an area full of restaurant royalty, Garlic & Chives is the hot young prince that everybody wants to hang out with. From the second you walk into the modern dining room, you can sense how different it is from the rest of Little Saigon. There’s Top 40 playing over the loudspeaker, the dining room is packed with first dates and groups of college kids, and the menu is full of non-traditional dishes that pull influences from all over Asia. But whether it’s the toothpick lamb, grapefruit-and-shrimp-filled pomelo salad, or wok-fried crab, Garlic & Chives’s food isn’t just different than the rest of Little Saigon, it’s also some of the best." - brant cox
