New Lemongrass Taste of Vietnam

Clean. Nice decor and lighting. Food was very fresh, well seasoned and properly cooked. Service was a little slow for how busy is was but server was very polite.

sighs. I had higher expectations. mango margarita which is suppose to be made with jalapeno infused vodka but you couldn't taste the jalapeno (which usually u can).The egg rolls are good and the dipping sauces were too.They didnt have mussels though. I originally ordered calamari but it was too fishy for my liking so I was referred to the shrimp. Again,the sauce was good but the shrimp was a little too "lightly"battered. I added the waitress about how they clean the shrimp bc it still had that black line when u butterfly it, she said it was due to the grill? weird .. bc the shrimp is supposed to be boiled & fried, no idea how it was grilled.

On the way back from our TX trip, we stopped at New Lemongrass Taste of Vietnam. It's within the Old Town Square complex on the corner of 2nd St and Mead St but the front door is down a side alley not really visible from the square. We were there during off peak hours meaning there were only 3 tables occupied at the time. The service was very personable and the food was great. We ordered the Shaky Beef and the Lemongrass bowl chicken shopping with some drinks. This restaurant is within driving distance for us, so we will most likely be back here in the near future.

I love their food but they're hit or miss being open. Google says open, their sign says open, but they're always closed when I try to go eat there. Was really craving them today, I walk in because the sign says open door was open, but guy tells me they're closed. Very disappointed with their hours.

Somehow the restaurant had not received our online order (they hadn’t turned on the computer), and the food was still not very hot after we waited for it. I ordered the “Sweetgrass Bowl” which looks really good in the Google picture, but it looks really cruddy in the ubiquitous foam takeout container. How this is “Vietnamese” I don’t know. Random chopped vegetable with deep fried chicken chunks on a bed of lukewarm vermicelli noodles isn’t what I was expecting. Maybe it’s better eaten in? Ordering takeout is a risk.

I was really impressed with Lemongrass. I got my order to go but the few minutes I did spend in their restaurant were very pleasant. I was unable to find an online menu so I couldn’t call my order in ahead of time. Not a big deal, but an online menu might be something they consider in the future. The bartender who took my to go order was super nice and really friendly. Once I placed my order I decided to have a beer. They have a really nice selection of draft and bottle beers. Surprisingly, my order arrived much quicker than I anticipated so great job to the kitchen for getting my order out so quickly. Even the bartender was a little surprised at their speed. I started with the chicken and shrimp egg rolls. They weren’t the traditional large egg rolls, instead they were 6 mini ones and they were so so good. They came with a sweet dipping sauce which was great. I also had the chicken pho. They didn’t have a chicken broth which I thought was a little strange and I was offered beef or vegetable broth. I went veggie. I feel like I made the right choice. The Pho was very tasty and extremely filling. The portion could easily feed two people. I would not hesitate to return to Lemongrass on my next visit to Wichita.

Great food and loved the atmosphere. The only thing I didn’t like, there was only one server and the wait was a while for our food or drinks.

Went there today because we are in the area and my 9yrs old want some deep fried carimari. I even called before to ask if they serve deep fried carimari. Arrived at the place a little early around 5pm for dinner. My wife ordered the shaking beef and rice. I ordered the tradition rice "cơm đặc biệt". My 9yrs old ordered deep fried carimari and chicken wings. Shaking beef tasted a bit sour in flavor and a little under cook then rare. My cơm đặc biệt, the rice was ok, the egg was cooked good, the pork chops was thin dried and a bit sour in taste. My kid's deep fried carimari was not deep fried carimari like the traditional at your local Chinese restaurants or Italian restaurants type of deep fried carimari. This was more like a carimari salad with big slices of stir fried octopus meat. Overall service is a 3stars and food is 1 to 2 stars. Cleanliness is a 2 stars because they cloth napkins look old and had animals hair or fur on them.
