Lemongrass Cafe - Edmonton, Alberta

Good but not impressed. It’s more catered to a western palate rather than offering flavourful authentic viet food. They really cut down on the stronger tasting viet spices, even for soups meant to be stronger with lemongrass bases. Kind of what I expected though, walking in and seeing the majority ... of the customers base being white. But aside from that fact, everything is made with care. If you’re this target audience you’ll probably love it. Otherwise, there are better options in the city Read more

We went here on a whim and we were glad that we picked this place as the food was fresh, tasted delicious and served quickly. We had the grilled pork chops and lemongrass beef and both were abundantly portioned, presented beautifully and were absolutely delicious. Our server was quick, efficient and kind. ... She checked up on us and followed up on anything we needed. The restaurant itself was easy to access, bright and warm and spacious. It was also very clean and tidy and we loved their selection of plants to look at. We would definitely go back here again and try the other items on their menu. Read more

Overall I wasn't impressed but it was good. We went for lunch and it was super busy so service was a bit slow but they definitely tried hard and were running around like crazy. We tried the spring roll appetizers which were good but we found the peanut sauce to be ... just so so. For the mains we had one of the soups and the grilled chicken and beef. Both dishes were good but nothing remarkable. I did find that there was a bit too much vermecili noodles and not a lot of meat. The soup broth was good but again wasn't any better than other places. I wouldn't be against going back but wouldn't seek it out either. Read more
