I must say, the food was absolutely amazing!! The service and the atmosphere wasn’t as inviting as I would have preferred for it to be! It felt as if the waiter was rushing us or was short-tempered/irritable with someone or something when we walked in the door. Other than that, the food was delicious!
Tip / Gratuity is AUTOMATICALLY included. One of the last and remaining authentic Vietnamese restaurants in St. Louis. Super delicious, true to the culture foods served here in Grand St. Louis. Highly recommend the crunchy rice (com chay) dish with seafood or a protein of your choice. The current rating of 3.8 stars on Google does not truly reflect the taste, service, and price of the restaurant when we arrived. Highly recommend going here if you ever crave Vietnamese food!!
I shared lunch with 2 girl friends on a drizzly Saturday in March. They had never eaten here before- it was a treat to watch them enjoy the Rice Hot Pots for the first time. I never order any other entree' when I come to Lemongrass, although next time I'm going to order the Crispy Duck.
We started with 3 appetizers: Butter Chicken Wings, Vegetarian Summer Rolls and Crab Rangoon. All were fresh and very delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Chicken, Shrimp and Special Rice Hot Pots. We had just the right amount of time to eat our appetizers, then the pots arrived- the rice was simmering and crackling in the cast iron pots. Meat and veg served in a delicious brown sauce over crunchy rice. Our waiter was very friendly sharing his favorites. We had leftovers which I will enjoy for lunch today.
It's fun to impress your friends with great food and a nice atmosphere. My friends are already planning another visit- they loved Lemongrass! I'm always a fan.
This was a pretty nice spot!
My husband and I really enjoyed coming here. Right after Sunday morning church we went for lunch there was no wait time and the food came out in quality time.
We ordered the hot pot with crunchy rice and a plate of hot braised chicken. Absolutely delicious. We would love to come back.
The food was fantastic! Wait time was minimal, and the restaurant was clean. The server was efficient, attentive, and direct- he will get you what you need without any small talk. If you are looking for great food, this is the place to go.
Delicious Spring Rolls! And crispy rice with shrimp & mixed veg was so good!
Don’t let the assertive server scare you! He’s super efficient and pays attention to your table needs. The food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the hot pot. Rice at the bottom is perfectly crisped. Plenty of meat and veggies on top. Curry lamb was tasty as well. Go in here with the expectation that the food is good.
And the lobsters on the walls have glowing eyes.
The restaurant is clean, prices are great! The service was good, the appetizers took about 15 minutes. Portions were large.
They food here is very delicious, and the owner is a very nice guy, friendly, and professional. I don't know why people say he isn't, but from all of my experience here I really like the place and the vibe 5 stars! I always get the P4= special pork chop over rice, and the C1.
Everyone is posting about the service, but I don’t go to places to have small talk with staff. I want good, quality food and this place delivers. The Pho is awesome and is worth the drive for me. Service was outstanding for me…every time I need a refill I got it and I got my food fast. I will be coming here again.
