Reviews for Lemongrass Vietnamese Restaurant in Brunswick, ME
This is not a place you want to eat. Every dish we got was completely under seasoned and the textures were all wrong. We didn?t... expect this food to taste like we were in SE Asia but we didn?t expect it to be bland and tasteless. Hate to mention it but itneeds to be said, ethic restaurants that only have white people working in them is usually a sign that the food is bad. In thiscase it is true. It might be forgivable at a lower price point but I recommend you take your business elsewhere. Read more
Thought with a 4.3/5 rating this place was going to be pleasant but I should?ve read the reviews before ordering. I ordered the... Pho noodle stir fry and I honestly don?t know how you can manage to make all of those ingredients taste like nothing. Tofu wasflavorless but somehow wet? The people here are extremely nice but hire someone that can cook Vietnamese food properly or atleast with some flavor. One more thing. The mango sticky rice had no flavor either. The coconut milk was barely sweetened if atall and under ripe mangoes to top it all off. If this was cheaper I would not have been so upset but the amount that thesedishes cost to just not be edible is crazy. Read more
got the cham curry and the bahn mi, both with tofu. i was unimpressed. portions were smaller than expected and the food was not... very flavorful. two slices of jalapeño for the entire bahn mi. definitely made for the white palate. ironic they call their?spicy? sauce ?love sauce? because that food was not made with love hun. also, as two young queer people, we did not feelcomfortable in the restaurant at all. vibes were off. wouldn?t recommend Read more
Lemongrass Coconut Peanut sauce is to die for... great taste, little bit of heat... eat every last bite. Also had Fresh spring... rolls with shrimp(ask for their Peanut sauce ????). Great local place... enjoyed our visit. 5 stars Read more
Flavorless Vietnamese food for the basic white Mainer taste buds. One slice of jalapeño and a tiny sprig of Thai basil with... some sprouts to go along with the pho that seemed to be lacking all of the normal spices required to even come close to beingclassified as pho. Crepe was nice and crispy, but the pork within was drier than a bone. I was stoned as all get out and stillcouldn't enjoy this food. Go to Little Saigon instead, its not amazing but it is significantly better than this place. Waitstaff was wonderful though. Read more
Flavorful, vegetarian options, Gluten free options and just amazing food. The portions were big and the staff was friendly and... so darn helpful. The lobster spring rolls were so wonderful to start the meal. My brother-in-law is Vietnamese and he said itwas one of the best places he has been to outside of Southern California. Cute atmosphere and the owner Even came to our tableto see if we were being well taken care of. Also the location can?t be beat. Read more
Great restaurant. Service was quick. I ordered the 16oz pho with meatball and it was good. More broth would improve it but... overall recommend it. Price is good. It was a busy night in Brunswick and they did a great job. Read more
The beef stew was great! If you like spicy food on a cold day this is the dish to get! The service and food were great.
