Hunting & Gathering

Alongside its notable noodles, Pho Cali Vietnamese Noodle House offers an interestingly named eye-catching appetizer. Pork and shrimp pancakes may just sound like an unfamiliar breakfast dish, but they are scrumptious surprise. A pan-fried rice flour batter chock-full of mouthwatering fixins from seared shrimp and pork to fresh beansprouts and scallions, these wholesome pancakes pack a flavorful punch. Served with a variety of vibrant veggies, pickled carrots, cucumbers and mint leaves enhance the savory meat, with crispy lettuce wraps holding it all together. A dip in the tangy house sauce is sure to seal the deal.
