| - I'd like to reiterate everything I've said in the previous review. This place is nice, well-lit, has soft music, is clean and fairly classy (not hole-in-the-wall-ish), has very very delicious food, friendly and non-overbearing staff, and so forth. In my last review I mentioned that it was disappointing that they didn't have Vietnamese style sandwiches (banh mi).
But now they do! And they're actually very good! The bread is fresh and tasty, and they're pretty liberal with the meat filling, generous with the herbs and spices, and not overwhelming with the pickled daikon and carrots. The taste is a little different than at Pho Thanh Huong, but the difference will be choosing between Coke and Pepsi instead of choosing between Coke and Crap. Both are good in their own way, and preference will be simply a matter of taste, and not a matter of quality. They are $3.75 each, $0.75 more than Pho Thanh Huong.
A few more specific recommendations:
The Pho of course is excellent, and I find it to be the best in Vegas so far. At $7 for two people, can't beat the price (though other pho places are comparable, of course).
The Lime Soda is to die for! Lots of sugar, and certainly not something to drink every day, but a must-have once a month or so!
My favorite appetizer is the Vietnamese Crepe, full of pork and shrimp and many other deliciousnesses, but it's a tad pricey at $8. It's good for the table, though.
Second favorite appetizer is the regular Spring Rolls. It has a nice crunch, it has both shrimp and pork, lots of vegetables, and of course they have the *best* peanut dipping sauce in any Vietnamese place I've tried yet. These are only $6.
Go go go to Lemongrass! I go there often, especially since it's about 9 minutes from my house.
