| - I mean it's good but it ain't all that!
I went to this place twice in two weeks, and I really wanted to like this place because it's right down the street from where I live.
This place has a very interesting theme. Like all the other reviewers mentioned, this place looks like a diner straight out of the 70's. The first time I went there, I had Vermicelli with Chicken and my friend had rare beef Pho and we had shrimp&pork spring rolls for appetizers. The spring rolls were okay, one unique thing about their spring rolls is that they have some kind of crispy chips? in them. Vermicelli with chicken was not bad, but nothing special. What I like about their Pho is that the portion is huge, but I thought it should be a bit hotter when it's served. Pho So 1 or Pho Kim Long serve their Pho super hot, but Lemongrass Cafe is just hot, going towards warm.
Second time arounds we had the same appetizers, well-done flank Pho, and Shrimp stir fry noodle. Again, I don't know why, but Pho was almost just warm! Maybe I should let them know to make it super hot when I order. Also, the noodles were a bit overcooked this time. Shrimp stir fry noodle wasn't that good. It had a very good flavor, but the noodles were a bit too sticky.
All the staffs are very nice and friendly. I didn't have any problem with their service.
I think I'm going to give this place one more shot and decide whether or not to become a regular.
