Fresh Sugar Cane Juice plus an array of hard to find fruit and other delicious snacks Vietnamese style. A Yelp reviewer states, “I LOVE THE SUGARCANE JUICE HERE. honestly I'm obsessed.

You might mistake this tucked-away restaurant for a medical office. Look again because you do not want to pass this place up. Here is what Nathan says about Jade Wok, “I wish we could have tried the whole menu! This is not your typical Chinese restaurant. There's no sappy, cavity-inducing Sesame Chicken here. It was crunchy, lightly sweet, and salty. Sweet & Sour Pork is just as you'd expect but perfected. We were given a private table in the back that was set up just for us during this time but everything was top-notch. We were served by the sweetest lady who was very accommodating. We hope she sees this review as we said we'd leave her one! We look forward to coming back to LA just for this restaurant alone.”

The baked BBQ pork buns are my to-go for dependable comfort food, best when it's freshly hot or heated back up. “
