Rooster & the Pig

Greater Palm Springs


A vibe of understated cool permeates this popular Vietnamese fusion place tucked away in a strip mall. It's a good match for the very fine, often unexpected cooking: lemongrass meatballs, corn with butter-soy glaze and hot peppers, jasmine-tea leaf salad, banana-leaf-steamed cod and sesame beef lettuce wraps. Wash yours down with craft beer, wine and inventive cocktails.

No reservations accepted, so arrive early or prepare to wait. Payment by credit or debit card only; no cash.
