Lemongrass has an attractive new home - check out the silhouettes of lemongrass stalks projected on the walls - but it remains one of the best values along South Grand. Its cafe sua da (iced coffee) is without doubt the strongest and sweetest.

This is something else entirely: a perfect balance of tart and sweet, with carbonation... More »
The fabled Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has the phrase "Don't Panic" inscribed on its cover. Lemon Grass would be wise to do the same with its menu. At most Vietnamese restaurants, first-time diners and aficionados alike fret as they skim the 100 or 150 or 200 choices. Where do I even start? What is the specialty of the house? At Lemon Grass the answers are, respectively, anywhere you want and pretty much everything: savory, herb-spiked pho; charbroiled meats doused with sweet, sneakily... More »
