Been here a couple of times and their bun rieu (shrimp, egg, and tofu noodle soup), mi quang (yellow noodle soup) are my favorite noodle soups to get. Both are very tasty. I've tried their steam rice cake (banh beo chen) and I think Renton Bistro does it better. Besides Vietnamese food, they also serve alcoholic beverages.

Some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had. I'm not from here and a local recommended this place for good Vietnamese food!

We really enjoyed all these traditional dishes at The Lemongrass! I grew up in Vietnam and these dishes truly teleported me there. All the dishes were seasoned so well with the perfect texture! The waiters here are so attentive, friendly and got a great sense of humor :) We ordered some of my all time favorites: bánh bèo chén (steamed rice cakes), bánh xèo (Vietnamese pancakes), mango salad (gỏi xoài), cá bông lau kho tộ (catfish stew), and canh chua (Vietnamese tamarind soup).

I am always looking for new Vietnamese spots to try and I was so happy that I was able to try The Lemongrass with my friends! The Lemongrass focuses on bringing the taste and flavor of Vietnam right to Seattle. They serve a variety of vietnamese dishes and even some that I haven't seen at other Vietnamese restaurants in Seattle. My favorites of the night were definitely the gỏi xoài (mango salad) and the bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes). The mango salad took me by surprise! I loved how the mango was sweet, but the sauce was savory, providing the perfect balance of flavors. It even had crispy fried tofu bits throughout, adding a nice texture in addition to the mango. The steamed rice cakes were the perfect texture and really took me back to some of the bánh bèo i had in the past. I also loved all the drinks we got. My friends got the tamarind soda, virgin lychee mojito and virgin pineapple mojito, while I tried their Thai Tea. It was a super refreshing add to our meal! There was plenty of seating in the restaurant and lots of parking! This place is perfect to grab food with the family! The service was great, they answered any question we had. My only suggestion is that the food comes out more hot - I think they waited for all our dishes to be ready before serving us.

I LOVE Lemongrass! Authentic and truly good Vietnamese food. As a half Vietnamese person myself, the food was fantastic and the ambiance was great. Waiter's/servers were very attentive. My favorite dish I ordered was the Banh beo. You can tell they make it fresh in house and to order

We stopped in for lunch after visiting the Jimmi Hendrix Memorial. The food we were served was fresh and absolutely delicious! Their spring rolls were so delicate and crisp, the peanut sauce was decadent I had the pork and eggroll bun and it was so good. The eggroll that was with it had to be one of the best I've ever had. The pork was also tender and flavorful. I wish this was in Florida so I could visit often .

We were seated right away with our group of kids. The space is pretty decent. Server are attentive and friendly staffs. The food was delicious! I absolutely enjoyed their pork & noodle soup. Very flavorful without any extra condiments, but I must say it was very oily. Bahn beo was a 10/10! Definitely would come back for it again.

Their dishes are appetizing and mouthwatering. Each serving is pleasing to the eye and very generous - great for groups. Absolutely enjoyed both food and service, as staff was very friendly and helpful! Here's what we ordered: * Fried Squids ~ Muc rang muoi * Turmeric Coconut Rice Cake ~ Bánh khot * Mango Salad ~ Göl xoài * Thai Tamarind Hot & Sour Soup ~ Canh chua Thai * Rice Vermicelli Bowl Combo ~ Bün däc biet * Yellow Noodle Soup ~ Mi Quâng * Thai Iced Tea My fave was the Mango Salad, Thai Tamarind Hot & Sour Soup and Yellow Noodle Soup. Their Thai Iced Tea is worth ordering as well! Definitely would like to try more of their other dishes. Plenty of tables for dine-in and plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. They accept both cash and cards. We visited on a Monday evening for dinner and they weren't as busy, so we got fast service.

My anti-bean sprout boyfriend and I come to the Lemongrass frequently for Vietnamese food, ever since a friend gave him a bean sprout-less spring roll from here. The Lemongrass is right off of the freeway which makes it a convenient dining spot in Renton. The menu is many pages long and includes your typical Pho and Bún as well as several traditional dishes that most other Vietnamese restaurants don't serve such as Mi Quang (yellow noodle soup), Bun Rieu (shrimp, egg, and tofu soup), and Banh Xeo (Vietnamese stuffed crepe). They also have vegetarian dishes available. Prices are competitive and average between $15-$20 per dish but the portions are generous and I never leave hungry. Of the many dishes I've tried here, I think their Pho is decent and their Bun Rieu is good if you like tomato hot pot and want to try something different other than pho. Their Banh Canh (rice flour noodles in soup) was pretty good too as it has a strong shrimp broth flavor. With that said, there were a few dishes that I probably wouldn't order again such as their Mi Quang. However, I think that's just a personal opinion as I had never had it before and didn't realize that yellow noodles meant dyed fluorescent yellow noodles and not egg noodles. I'm sure it's traditional, but it was a bit too odd for me. It also didn't come with that much seafood and so it just missed the mark for me. Their Bun Bo Hue, spicy beef soup, had a lot of meat but lacked the heat. Their Yellow Curry was Vietnamese style and not Thai style; I thought they would be similar, but the Vietnamese style was much more bland and didn't have a strong curry taste. Service is decent and the servers are always very friendly and attentive; they always come by to ask how our food is and to refill our waters. Parking is plentiful as they have a large shared lot. The restaurant is always busy, but I've never had to wait for a table. I've honestly never had a bad experience here and that says a lot given the number of times I've eaten at The Lemongrass. In terms of atmosphere, the place is modern casual. They have at least a dozen tables including booths. The bathrooms are single stalls and always kept clean. My only qualm is that the hot water tap never works in the women's bathroom; it's always ice cold. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere
