I was at the gym, of all places, on the treadmill on my iPad, switching between Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown Vietnam and Bornea episodes and Yelp, looking for some inspirational new Asian eats to have lunch at that was close to home. Somehow this new find which appeared to have opened just a week ago, was not in the New & Noteworthy search. Luckily, I had expanded my search first from Vietnamese food to Asian food and found this restaurant with 4 red Yelp stars. Upon reading the reviews, looking at the photos and then checking their profile and photos on Instagram, I decided right then and there, that is where we must go. It’s literally up the street, about an 8 minute drive.
We walked into the restaurant which was surprisingly busy for a Sunday afternoon. Word must have gotten around that this was the new hot spot in town. We had an amazing waiter, Victor, who was totally on top of his game. Didn’t miss a step.

The food was outstanding and hit the spot. The fries were crispy and piping hot. The turmeric fried chicken was exceptional. It was juicy and you could see the herbs mixed into the batter as you bit into each crispy layer. The garlic noodles were perfectly cooked and evenly coated with bits of garlic. The prawns were also perfectly seasoned and crispy with an amazingly light but flavorful cabbage slaw. The star of the show though was the goi gai salad which had chunks of marinated white meat chicken mixed with a slippery noodle salad. It had a light citrusy, sesame flavor which could almost be considered a palate cleanser as it provided a brief and delicious interlude in between the fried appetizers and the entrees.

Mee and Greet is the new neighborhood gem and I could not be happier at its close proximity to home. Thank you for choosing to make Palms your new home!!
