Maybe I came with expectations too high. Maybe I came on a bad day. But Lemongrass Cafe did not do it for me. I dragged the husband to this place (we drove around for about 20 mins cos my GPS was taking me to weird places) and finally come to it. It's a Vietnamese place that is in one of those old school diner structures. Intrigued? Yes I was. I galloped into the restaurant.
Service was good. The waitress was very sweet and made recommendations for us. We had the following
Vietnamese Crepe (Vegetarian) - This is probably why I'm giving the place 3 stars and not 2. Tasted amazing and was HUGE. Note to self: Vietnamese Crepes are only starters when there are 5 people at the table. The expectations grew higher after the stellar crepe
Veggie Pho with Tofu and Veggies - Have to give it to them. Portion sizes are generous. The Pho was not flavorful. It was like vegetable stock. Quite disappointing. I could microwave something in 2 minutes that could have tasted similar
Lemongrass Tofu - Eh.....I've had better. The tofu by itself was quite overpowering and had a pretty weird smell but with the rice, I was able to eat a few bites.
They did honor the 10% discount on the menu when I mentioned "Yelp." The total bill with the discount was around $30.
I'll probably not be back. I think the Pho at Veggie Delight tastes superior.
