My Khmer wife and I decided to try Lemongrass Restaurant after noticing how busy and popular it looked—and we’re glad we did! The restaurant is small but clean, tidy, and well set up. The menu was a real standout—clear, with pictures of every dish and descriptions in both English and Khmer, which made ordering a breeze.
We each chose a lunch dish and also ordered a takeaway to enjoy later. Every dish we had was delicious, and my Cambodian wife was especially impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food—high praise indeed!
No complaints at all: great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone after genuine, tasty Cambodian cuisine.

Great pho with clean flavourful taste without the nasties. Broth is amazing without msg. Ingredients are generous and well prepared. Restaurant is clean and the kitchen is opened to be seen and very much clean and tidy. Well run and great pho! The fat and beef pho was very well made and yummy.

Guys, we just walked into this gem of a Sri Lankan restaurant! I’ve been living in Melbourne for eight years and have never seen a place like this. We originally went to eat fried rice, but after seeing the buffet, my wife and I both ended up having rice and curry — and honestly, everything in the buffet tasted unbelievably authentic.
The person serving the food was actually the owner, and what I noticed was his genuine happiness when we finished our plates completely. It felt like he truly loves seeing people enjoy his food. It was obvious that his main intention isn’t just to earn money, but to make his customers happy. We’d really love to see him grow his business day by day!

Just got take out here and was pleasantly surprised that it was given with a free tote bag and a complementary rice pudding! Best range of vegan and veg options in the area as well and wonderful variety of food! 10/10 recommend!

Consistently good coffee. Everything here is made by the owner, and is very fresh. Even the bread is homemade, and is excellent. Has a very large and varied menu for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Don't be quick to pass this one by. Low key, and easily overlooked amongst the other food spots in this stretch of Centre Road, E Bentleigh, but definitely worth trying.
