| - It was 1AM Sat night and I had just left Haze because it was way too crowded and I couldn't find my other friends inside. Hadn't eaten dinner yet so I met up with another friend here because we were staying at the Aria and it was one of the decent sounding places still open that wasn't on the greasy side.
Very dimly lit, the decor along the ceiling is like a weaving loom and really intriguing. Fairly quite atmosphere but can easily accommodate large groups.
Our Order
Tom Kha Chicken: ($12) Chicken, coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, abalone mushrooms
Chilean Sea Bass: ($28) Deep-fried sea bass fillet, shallots, scallions, Yu-Hoi sauce
Drunken Noodle with Seafood: ($20) Spicy stir-fried flat rice noodles, prawns, scallops, squid, Thai basil, Kachai, bell peppers
Ginger Peach: ($14) Absolut Peach Vodka infused w/ Black Tea, Canton Ginger Liqueur, and Fresh Sour served tall over ice
Watermelon Caipiroska: ($14) Grey Goose Vodka, Fresh Limes and Fresh Watermelon juice
The Tom Kha surprisingly had a strong mushroom flavor that overpowered the coconut. So instead of a more tart flavored soup, it was fairly earthy tasting which was interesting but we didn't love it. I love mushrooms too =/
I ordered the Drunken Noodle w/ Seafood due to the reviews I saw on it. Honestly, it was greasy and tasted like chow mein. Nothing special and wouldn't order again.
Why I would come to Lemongrass? The Chilean Sea Bass. It was cooked perfectly: wasn't dry and very soft.
They drinks were good and very strong. They had better be at $14/drink! Even though they came out in small glasses, they pack a punch. My friend's a light-weight and drank a little more than half the cup and got tipsy. I nearly finished both drinks but my friend was too far out that we had to go back to the room.
Wouldn't go out of my way to come here since there are so many places to eat in Vegas but if I was in the same predicament, I certain wouldn't mind.
