I have to admit, I was a little weary. Not only is this place formerly a 50's diner, but the people who first brought me here are not exactly savvy with Asian food. But I'm glad Lemongrass proved me wrong. They serve a number of delicious dishes. With over 100 items on the menu, here are a few of my favorite items on the menu:
-the Vietnamese coffee: a perfect blend of bitter and sweet. Once it's finished filtering into a cup with condensed milk, pour it over ice and enjoy.
-Vermicelli with lemongrass beef and egg rolls: I love the combination of noodles, beef and crunchy egg rolls. Of course, you can't forget the flavorful fish sauce to pour over the bowl and/or dip your egg rolls.
-the combination fried rice
Surprisingly, I don't usually get pho. As much as I've been here, I've probably ordered pho 10% of the time. This isn't any indication of their pho (it's actually pretty good), but instead it just shows how much I enjoy the other items on the menu. The owner is great, always friendly and accommodating. So don't let the diner exterior fool you. This place has the goods to satisfy your Vietnamese cravings
