"We
have discussed in columns past some of the cultural influences
that contribute to Vietnamese cuisine: French, East Indian and
Chinese for starters. This explains why you can find creme
brulee and chicken satay on the menus of some Vietnamese
restaurants. Lemongrass Bistro carries both those delights
and many more worthy of your time and taste buds. On North
Academy Boulevard just south of the Woodmen Road intersection,
this bit of Southeast Asia provides a welcome respite from the
tumultuous flow of life just outside its doors. A comforting mix
of tables and booths seats more than 40 souls, and the bar looks
to be a cool place to hang..."

"Lemongrass Bistro cooks
Vietnamese dishes in Technicolor. And those dishes meet sight
and smell expectations.
'Sweet olfactory
bliss!'... Lemongrass' excellence shone
straight away with two starters: its beef lemon appetizer, a
tangy mound of thin-sliced beef and onions garnished in peanuts;
and vegetarian egg rolls, stuffed in typical fashion with
vegetable and tofu strips, but notable for perfect crispness.
Later, the vegetarian spring rolls stood out for their freshness
and their delicate rice-paper wrap...Minor points aside,
Lemongrass Bistro, with a clean interior, friendly staff and
overall great food, is worth a stop. And then a long, deep
inhale."
