Located in the corner of a nondescript strip mall off Overland in Palms, Mee & Greet is easy to miss. The Southeast Asian food concept feels less like a restaurant than it does a neighborhood lounge to hang out. The simple interiors and the light glow of the stereotypical “good vibe
The menu stems from the heritage of the owner and chef, bringing in Chinese-Indonesian and Vietnamese flavors as a new take on bar bites and shareable plates to pair with whatever they have on tap (they generally have at least a dozen beers to choose from, including seasonal ones). The food spans from more homestyle (ie: pho, tau yew bak, nasi goreng, lu rou fan) to more fusion (ie: szechuan fried chicken, turmeric wings, tempeh burger, salted egg parm fries). Nostalgic comforts in an unpretentious environment make Mee & Greet the a reliable neighborhood spot.
