| - Decisions to eat "rolls" at Asian restaurants usually lead to regret, but not at Lemongrass. Their Vietnamese egg rolls are hot, crisp, thin, lightly fried in fresh oil, and served with a handful of mint. The mint is used to erase guilt you might feel by eating fried food when the menu offers many other healthy options.
The Vietnamese Crepe fascinates me. We ordered the one with shrimp. It's huge and yellow, like an omelet. It's crispy with lots of holes. See Cayenne's instructions on how to properly eat a Vietnamese Crepe. The hot jasmine tea is complimentary; the sweet, rice flavors set it off.
Lots of my buddies are yelping about the Pho. The Pho's good, but I'm no expert. I only eat brothy soups if I'm trying to lose weight.
I would not order the Lotus Salad again because I didn't like the flavor and smell of the pork. The chicken spring rolls are less fabulous than the egg rolls, so I wouldn't waste stomach space on those either.
Service is fantastic. One of the owners helped me choose delicious menu items our first time in. The decor is an odd mix of framed Asian poster prints, beige booths, purple walls and red neon.
Definitely a new favorite.
