Southeast Asian classic comfort food - Hainan Chicken, Nasi Goreng, Vietnamese Pho, Turmeric Wings, Burger and Beer!
"What It Is: A casual Southeast Asian spot in Palms Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, Cheap Eats We stopped into this small restaurant in a Palms strip mall barely a week after they opened and the place was already slammed. And for good reason - it’s a nice little neighborhood spot in a neighborhood without a whole lot of those. The food is Southeast Asian-inspired fusion: garlic egg noodles come topped with parmesean, Lao beef luc lac comes out looking more like Peruvian lomo saltado, and there’s also a burger on the menu. The Verdict: This is a great spot for a quick and tasty meal in Palms." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
"Mee & Greet is a casual Southeast Asian spot that’s quickly become a neighborhood hangout in a neighborhood that doesn’t have a whole lot of those. The food is Southeast Asian-ish, so garlic egg noodles come with parmesean on top, Lao beef luc lac comes out looking more like Peruvian lomo saltado, and there’s also a burger on the menu. They’ve got a big selection of beer, a couple of wine options, and no cocktails, making it a nice spot for a catch-up with friends when you’d all like a drink, but would also all like to be in bed by 9pm." - Jess Basser Sanders
"Palms has a cool new spot for Southeast Asian cuisine, and it’s called Mee & Greet. From Humble Potato founder Eric Ong, the casual evening restaurant takes over a former doughnut shop on the other side of the strip mall as Kogi Taqueria. It’s a huge get for the neighborhood, which already sports Southeast Asian restaurants Simpang Asia, Phorage, and Mr. Sate. Chef Minh Phan serves a tight menu of Vietnamese, Peranakan, and Singaporean dishes like Hainan chicken rice, pho with sliced filet mignon and sauteed brisket, and garlic noodles. A turmeric fried chicken comes right out of the Indonesia food lexicon while a bo luc lac saltado melds Peruvian and Cambodian influence. For the less adventurous, a 7 ounce burger comes with sambal aioli, roasted garlic relish, and caramelized onions. It’s a reasonably priced, easy-going affair that totally works for the neighborhood. Though the space is rather small, it’s got a handy bar serving craft beers and a few wines. Mee & Greet opens June 9 at noon, with happy hour specials all throughout the opening weekend, plus one complimentary shared plate for early guests, and even a t-shirt giveaway." - Matthew Kang
