The place was packed but dind't seem crushed or rushed. The food was terrific. Service just fine. As a neighborhood spot, it's now up there with Allegria as a place to enjoy good food with friends and family on a whim.

First off, I had the Vietnamese crepe with chicken and shrimp. Let me tell you, it was as delicious as it looked. After the waiter instructed us on how to eat it (cut it in pieces, wrap them in lettuce, and dip it into the sauce), it was beyond my expectations.

Gingerglass is trying for fusion and trendy and I wish them well. Indochine should be more authentic, but is just sort of blah.<BR/>KCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-1133127131636769432005-11-27T13:32:00.000-08:002005-11-27T13:32:00.000-08:00i've been to indochine twice and have also found t...i've been to indochine twice and have also found their decor cute and service spotty. but the food has been pretty tasty. their rolls were crisp and light and their pork chop was well seasoned. however what really distinguished them for me was their pho. for me, pho is the ultimate test, and indochine's beef pho did not disappoint--it was fragrant and flavorful compared to the gingergrass pho Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-1133063146787147472005-11-26T19:45:00.000-08:002005-11-26T19:45:00.000-08:00Boy, the comment about being in cahoots with Ginge...Boy, the comment about being in cahoots with Ginger Grass was bizarre at best. <BR/><BR/> I still have to make it over there but I must admit being put off by reviews by many people that were either negative or lukewarm. That is the fault of the establishment in question.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your reviews. I find them to be fair and pretty much what I have found when experiencing the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
