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.

I found this little gem without any expectations. It felt like walking into someone's house who is keen to cook for me. The elderly man was most likely the owner who seemed like a humble human being with culinary skill.
He helped us order and we were rapt with the dishes. The lamb ding ding noodles was just filling and flavourful. I surely want to try the other dishes next time and on top of that he was kind enough to let me try the Yoghurt drink for free! I just couldn't thank him enough for the hospitality.

Delicious! Open on public holiday (legendary). Loved the fried rice noodles with beef I ordered, takes me back to eating it in Shanghai. Exceptional dish variety, wonderful service.
Will be coming back here to try everything else.

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!

Gave this Pho joint a 3 star review for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, the vegetarian summer roll had tofu in it, which was overcooked and had very tough skin, making eating it an unpleasant experience. The peanut sauce with the summer roll was nice.
While beef pho broth was tasty, it could do with a bit more depth of flavour. The mixed beef cuts were good.
Overall I'd give it a 3.5
