Gingergrass is open late for L.A. diners

Hello, spring.

Gingergrass sounds like spring and tastes like it too. For when the days are longer and nights are warmer, this urban Vietnamese eatery, open until 11pm some nights, can make a fabulous spring even fabulouser.

Popular: Shrimp chips on the table, 33 Beer from Tien Giang Province ($5), Bo Bia (rice paper with jicama, coconut, mushrooms, egg and peanuts, $5.95) and the Pork Belly special

Atmosphere: Since the restaurant advertises “Fresh Vietnamese Cuisine,” it would be wrong to assume that steaming bowls of pho come out of the kitchen tasting like they do in mid-town Hanoi. It’s all about expectations; expect “fresh” and “cuisine” and a clientele to match; and order something besides the pho.
