Lam's Restaurant

Lam's has absolutely the best brown rice -- it has this sort of nutty taste that is just terrific (never seen anything quite like it). They have a fish special with a spicy sauce that is just terrific. The chef is ethnic Chinese raised in Vietnam who worked at a Thai restaurant for years (or something like that), so the Pan-Asian thing works here better than at most places. It's a great place for lunch (very good prices, and then you can get takeout to have for dinner, too). The place is quite big, so it's not hard to get seated quickly. There's no parking lot, but there is street parking all over the place though you might have to walk a little bit. Service is friendly and efficient. They are good at honoring special requests and adjusting the level of spiciness for you. Prices are very fair. more

Lam's has a delicious array of different pan Asian dishes. It might sound funny to point this out, but they have the best brown rice I've ever had. I'm not sure what they do to it, but it has an almost nutty taste and is just terrific. I can't say that I've ordered anything I didn't like there. They have a spicy fish specialty that is just delicious, and old standbys like lemongrass chicken or beef and Pad Thai are excellent. I really like the honey pork, which I haven't seen on too many other menus. The service is friendly, and the place is nice and clean. The prices are reasonable all the time, and the lunch menu is a particularly good value (I like to get lunch there but then order extra takeout for dinner). There is plenty of street parking. more
