Green Lemon Grass - Richmond

- Too salty for me - _Food: 2_Price: 3_Service: 2_Ambiance: 2_Overall: 9/4 = 2.25 stars__Food: 2_Hubby and his sis ordered pho, both were fine.

Went here with my wife for dinner and ordered pho and papaya salad. The papaya salad was one of the best we have ever had - fresh and beautifully presented. The pho broth was good, but our server did not offer us lime or basil. Very strange as the restaurant was run by Vietnamese.

Whenever we are in Richmond, we make sure to visit Green Lemongrass. And so we did this time around. It is a mom& pa restaurant that really warms our hearts and stomachs. Their menu include Vietnamese starters, main dishes and soups. All made from fresh ingredients and lots of love. I just adore and admire their pho. They offer a few kinds and I have tasted almost all of them by now. The one we had yesterday was superb!! Deep layers of taste, tender rare meat, fresh herbs!!!! It is only getting better with every visit. The service was friendly snd pleasant. The cooking: superb. Waiting impatiently for our next visit there!!

The food here is typical Vietnamese which you can find anywhere in the Lower Mainland. Selection, presentation and prices are all good. I would not go out of my way to eat here. But if you are in the neighbourhood and want good pho, check it out. There are some vintage equipment from Vietnam on display.

This notionally Vietnamese restaurant has a very quaint interior, a holdover from its previous tenant years ago. The people are friendly and prices are average....but unfortunately so is the food. In fairness, we only had the lemon grass chicken and the shredded beef, but the flavors don't seem as robust as many other Vietnamese places in Richmond. Will have go back and try the pho; that is the ultimate test
