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.

Came here for dinner tonight and the food was amazing, everything was freshly made. More importantly, the grandma was the best! Super cute and helpful. We asked her if the soups were good and she told us ‘not really, our noodles and lamb ribs better’ we loved her honest recommendation.
We also had the lamb pies - we forgot to take a photo because it smelt so good and we ate it too quickly - a must try!

August 2025: What a great find. Was walking along the lane towards Glenferrie train station when I noticed this restaurant. Apparently, it opened only 6 months prior. I am local and was not aware of this new establishment. Very pleased to see this restaurant in this location.
The Penang White Curry Mee is not a dish you find in most Malaysian restaurants in Melbourne. I was pleasantly surprised to see a photo of this dish (amongst other great dishes) on their front wall. That's not all, it is priced much less than asian dishes prior to 2020. Congratulations to the owners of this restaurant for making it affordable for students and locals alike who seek out & enjoy genuine Malaysian Chinese cuisine.
Will definitely be back to sample all the other dishes with friends.
The staff members are very friendly and attentive. They will answer any questions you may have with a smile. I really enjoyed dining here. I highly recommend this restaurant 👌

The pho here is absolutely exceptional – rich, deeply flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and tender slices of beef that melt in your mouth. Every bowl feels like a warm, comforting hug, with fresh herbs and garnishes that elevate the taste to another level. It’s clear they’ve mastered the art of traditional Vietnamese pho, and the portion sizes are generous and great value for money.
On top of that, the customer service is outstanding. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. If you’re a pho lover or even trying it for the first time, this spot is an absolute gem. Highly recommended!
