LemonGrass Restaurant

Food is worth the cranky man. Just go during off-peak times.

I rarely write reviews… But have to here.. the server was so rude. It was like a parody of what a rude server would be – would’ve been comical if it hadn’t been so appalling. Avoid

First time just tried some eggrolls. They were ok

The food is always amazing. Great flavors and so many things to choose from (it is an extensive menu). I personally like the vermicelli noodle dishes with an eggroll but you can't go wrong with anything. The eggrolls and/or spring rolls are a must. As is a Vietnamese coffee. Don't be scared of the owner. Yes the other reviews are true. It's part of the experience; roll with it and enjoy it for what it is.

I’ve never written a bad review for a business. However, I feel that more people need to be aware about the way they run this establishment. Check your credit card bills! They automatically add 20% gratuity, which I did not realize and tipped on top of that. No where along the way is it posted that this is something that they do. Honestly, the server was so rude that he didn’t deserve a tip. However, after working in the restaurant business years ago, I never leave anything less than 15%. (I always give the benefit of the doubt because everyone can have a bad day.) Essentially, the server got paid 35% tip for being rude, hurried, and condescending. The food is not as good as it used to be years ago. There are MUCH better places to eat in St. Louis. The restaurant is dingy and the restrooms are freezing and dirty. I sure wish Pho Grand was still in business. Do NOT give this restaurant your business!

Food was very very good, good size portions (still a bit expensive). The waiter was rude and unwelcoming. It was pretty drab inside.

I and the wife haven’t been here in a few yrs and we decided to give another go because of their burn rice pot dish. Greetings wasn’t inviting. Sat down we were instantly shock and horrified like a deer on the headlight.. dumbfounded actually..we felt sorry for the couple the table next to us. When the server come and take the order,he was loud,rude as hell. His speech is like you there for the free meal. A prison lunch lady serving inmates..the couples was reaction after he left they look at each others dumbfounded. Am sure he will give us the same treatment if we didn’t speak our native languages. Next he went to the table with the 2 gentleman and does the same things. He was so loud and rude. Me and the wife look at each others in fear. Like we won’t make it out of here in one piece.. next the gratuity..20% automatic added to the bill.. we instantly knew why..he probably wouldn’t get a dime base on Services so he added 20% him self and give all the customers a big middle fingers. Here the twist…he is the owner..this establishment seem to be running by wife in the kitchen and husband run the front. I ordered a beer and never gotten it. I was to dramatize to even mentioned. The bill does have the charge for it. Usually I wouldn’t mind and just leave it as additional tip, but no way am letting him take 20% and another $6 dollar for the beer..I check the reviews right at the couple got serve and all point to the same thing..this business won’t 2 yrs from now..
