I was very pleasantly surprised by the meal I had here. I read a lot of good press about Mee & Greet, which is why I wanted to go as soon as I could, but still wasn't sure what to expect. Basically everything exceeded expectations.
Started with the chicken wings - they were very tasty but ultimately my least favorite thing we had (not a knock at all).
Then the garlic noodles - these were awesome. They actually had a ton of flavor compared to most garlic noodles, which end up being fairly bland. Definitely get these.
Lomo saltado - maybe my favorite thing we had. Really, really tasty and everything worked well together.
Burger - also really good. the onion compote (or whatever it was) gave it a really good flavor that was something new compared to your standard cali burger.
Hainan chicken - definitely very tasty. the rice with it was really good as well, and the sauces on the side is what put it over the top.
Tom rang muoi - very good fried prawns. Really interesting crust on them that gave it a very unique flavor. Very different from the other dishes we had and I really liked that.
Music - really great music and it's nice to go somewhere that you can actually hear yourself think, but I also feel they could turn it up a notch (I never thought I'd say this about a new restaurant!). They're playing great tunes but you can barely hear them.
Overall a great time with great food and company. the service was incredibly friendly as well. excited to go back and see if they add anything new...
Read moreTasty Asian food in strip mall setting. Came here for dine-in on a Saturday and had a leisurely meal. We were hungry after hiking at the nearby Culver City stairs, and the food hit the spot. Parking was available in the small lot although it looked like there was some more parking in the back of the strip mall. Credit cards are accepted. Masks are required. Alcohol is available, including some local brews on tap. The Expatriate is a good option.
As mentioned earlier, the food was delicious. The rice in the nasi goreng was heightened by the colorful pickled vegetables. The egg was soft and the chicken was tender. The mee goreng was similarly delicious - the noodles were chewy and the sauce it was in was savory-sweet. The employees were helpful and welcoming. Single-person bathrooms are available by the bar. There’s a happy hour on weekdays with discounts on food. Overall, it’s a good spot to have a casual meal or for...
Read moreThis is one of our go to place for consistently good Indonesian Singaporean fusion dishes. We’ve been coming here since 2018 and thankfully they survived Covid-19, but somehow much quieter afterwards. The good news is the food is still dope. They also serve Vietnamese fusion which is also good.
Service can be slow at times as they’re usually a bit understaffed but always friendly and chill.
The place is cozy with a few small tables and bar seating so best for smaller groups.
Our favorites here are the Hainan Chicken Rice (better than Savoy Kitchen IMHO) which resembles the world famous Tian Tian in Singapore Maxwell Food Centre, the Mad for Garlic Noodle, and the Nasi Goreng which is Indonesian fried rice topped with fried egg.
Other dishes we like are the bean sprouts with garlic, tofu family style, mee goreng, and the MG burger.
Highly...
