| - My best friend just to happened to have planned a Vegas trip the same weekend I was going to be in Vegas, how crazy is that?! She was staying at the Aria and we decided on going to Lemongrass for dinner.
There was no wait at 7:45/8:00PM on a Saturday night which was great! I would categorize Lemongrass as an Asian Fusion restaurant. They make a bunch of different Asian dishes. The food is good but not great.
We ordered a TON of food:
Fried Prawns
Jellyfish
Spicy Cucumbers
Chicken Wings
Vegetable Fried Rice
Three Cups Chicken
Beef Pho
Pork and Pickled Vegetable Noodle Soup (Xue Cai Rou Shi Mian)
Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (Nu Rou Mian)
The Fried Prawns were YUMMY. The prawns are huge, and the dipping sauce compliments the flavors so perfectly.
I quite enjoy jellyfish, but this one tasted a little too water-y. They must've washed the jellyfish and possibly soaked it in tap water, because there was an overwhelming tap water flavor when I bit into the jellyfish.
The Spicy Cucumbers were seasoned with the right mixture of vinegar, sugar and spice. It actually tasted really similar to the appetizer you'd get from a legit Chinese restaurant.
I got the Beef Pho and was a little underwhelmed. I felt like I got more beef, tripe, flank, and whatever else they put in my soup than noodles. And because the beef, tripe, flank etc. looked weird, I had a difficult time wanting to eat it. I ended up having a big pile of that stuff on my side plate.
The server seemed to be in love with one of the girls and would be SO chipper and smiley with her. Anything she needed, he'd get for her. I believe his name is Van.
This was a pleasant dinner, and somewhat affordable. I think I'd rather try some of the other restaurants at Aria, perhaps the buffet, next time.
