Star Ginger, Stanford's collaboration with
Chef/Restaurant owner Mai Pham

This fall, Stanford Dining will kick off the third year of its Star Ginger @Stanford Vietnamese and Thai concept at Wilbur and Lakeside dining halls. Star Ginger @Stanford serves lunch and dinner daily at Wilbur, and Latenite@Lakeside from 9:30pm to 2am, Sundays through Thursdays. Stanford Dining partnered with Mai Pham, the chef/owner of the nationally acclaimed Lemon Grass and Star Ginger restaurants in Sacramento and author of The Best of Vietnamese and Thai Cooking, Flavors of Asia and the award-winning Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table. The menu focuses on Southeast Asian comfort foods such as pho noodle soup, banh mi sandwiches, salad rolls and comforting stir-fries and noodles. We have planted kaffir lime trees, mint, Thai basil and culantro [aka saw leaf] in the Wilbur garden to support the Star Ginger menu.
