Buddy and I from work decided to go for a Pho Phix at lunch. We decided to forego our usual place close by to give Lemongrass a try due to their higher average by the Yelpies.
Upon arrival we were concerned if the place was still open. The landscape is overgrown with weeds and the advertisement banners are in disrepair and faded. However the interior was well kept.
We sat at the counter for the comfort of sitting with room due to the fact that all the tables are booths (this really isn't a big deal to the general public unless you're over 6'3" and 200lbs+). The stainless steel preparation area behind the counter seemed to have been cleaned with play-dough as there was a milky haze from previous cleaning attempts. I understand Stainless Steel is difficult to keep clean, but it is necessary.
We ordered some rolls as we waited for our Pho. The rolls were really good but the condiments and veggie plate needed a little more love. Our pho was ok, broth was not as rich as I'm used to and lacked a good portion of noodles. Our rare beef was well done.
Our regular Pho place down the street has a lower rating but on this day they were leaps and bounds better Then Lemongrass Cafe. I can see how this place might have been good at one time but their lack of attention to detail recently has caused them to receive a low rating.
