Came here yesterday to try out the food since we are visitors from Vancouver but to be honest, I am disappointed with the service here, the food was okay nothing special to us, but we had to pay 50 cents for 3 small pieces of lime! Which is it has to be included, and another 50 cents for a small fish sauce to dip with a salad roll. For the first time ever I have to pay extra for that stuff, if it’s taken out I can understand for bag and utensils! But this is dine in! Really disappointed with price and food!

I really enjoyed the laksa! The flavors were rich and comforting, and the broth had a nice balance of spice that wasn’t too overpowering. Thanks for the great experience—I’ll definitely come back for more!”

we stop there from our trip and I thought it will be a good restaurant to try but no, the Pho broth and the spicy Pho broth is so terrible, expensive price, and even the veggie they put you like just a little bit to “ taste” . For the whole special Pho they gave you like 2 leaves of basil ( i included picture). I am Vietnamese and I never give any bad feedback on the Vietnamese restaurant in Canada before but for this restaurant so sad I need to write something. Hope they improve their food. 1 good thing about that restaurant is the Vietnamese staffs there they are friendly but the waitress ( she is Chinese I think) she is a bit grumpy 🫥🫥🫥

This weekend I went to Lemongrass with my family. The food tastes good especially the deep fried salted Tofu. Bella is very nice and provided good service. We will back again!

I think the high rating is because this is one of the two Vietnamese food places in Kamloops. If this place was to be in Vancouver it would not survive the competition. The pho broth is light and topping is simple, the vermicelli/ rice bowl is of small portion and the topping is stingy. The three color bowl looked great on the photos but in reality it's literally two pork slices on a skewer. Talking about optical illusion this is quite extreme. The nem nuong are thinly sliced - I took one to eat already before I took the photo because I was starving. I was going to devour the food but the pork skewer was too surprising not to take a photo. Slow service, don't come here if you're in a rush or starving. Also make sure you have water on hand afterwards because you'll be very thirsty.

This is our go-to place for pho in Kamloops. We moved from Burnaby where we had several great options and so we were worried about missing them when we moved.

The food is usually alright here, other than they charge for garnish eith your soup. But waited 45 minutes tonight and still didnt get our food. What a waste of our time.

To be very honest, I do not think that they are making Vietnamese food, because they are just not. I had many different pho dishes whether in China ( very close to Vietnam) or in Canada, lemongrass is the worst. The soup was too plain, mild , the rice noodle was too soaked without any texture, no lime no chili pepper, nothing. I had been there twice, the second time I went back and thought maybe give them a chance , but I was so wrong

June 22, 2024

Pretty decent Vietnamese food for Kamloops, although you don t have much choice anyways. I feel like the food used to be better, but things like the spring rolls have really gone down hill. There are huge chunks in them and they are uncomfortably chewy now. Chicken wings are still delicious as well as the lemongrass chicken. Parking: It s a really tight parking lot. There are an okay number of spots, but the way are narrow. If you re driving a big truck be aware. Kid-friendliness: There is no kids menu but lots of the food is toddler friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is pretty narrow and you do have to make a few turns. I believe it could be done, but it wouldn t be the easiest.

As someone who cant eat gluten, that makes Lemon Grass our familys go to for take out. Their prices are reasonable and the food is always amazing and the portions are large. Before finding Lemon Grass, I had pretty much given up on eating out. I either always end up sick or the gluten free options I order from a regular restaurant are just nasty, but the food at Lemon Grass is just naturally, mostly gluten-free. The food is always hot and fresh, healthy and delicious, and its always more than enough for our family of 5. We have yet to have a bad experience there. The spring rolls are AMAZING! Dietary restrictions: Awesome for gluten free options!!!!

My family and I love pho. Every time we go to a new place, we always look for a Vietnamese restaurant, so we can enjoy a nice bowl of noodle soup. Few months ago we tried it at this restaurant, the pho doesnt taste like pho At All. The laksa also didnt taste good. The broth on both dishes are just off. Yesterday, we went in the yew street food hall and decided to try again. And its still the same.

We had reservations for our party of 7 and dined here last evening. Unfortunately we were seated nearest the door in -27 temperatures and there was a constant cold rush of air at us every time the door opened for guests or take out . Which was constant. As well , because of the overcrowding and the cold there were jacketed guests seated in the wait area so close behind my son and daughter in law that they couldnt push their chairs out to leave for washroom without requesting those waiting move back . Made what was to be a nice family birthday meal quite uncomfortable and unpleasant. Food wasnt as up to usual par but the server was pleasant .

I am a constant return customer to Lemongrass. The Pho is unbelievable and the spring rolls or prawn tempura are also my main go-to food items. There are lots of comfortable seats and the service is quite good too. If you havent tried this place or are a first time pho person you cant go wrong here!

December 22, 2023

Update: I went back because unfortunately Watercress closed down and it s my go to comfort food. Again was extremely disappointed, the pho broth was cold which I reheated but they no longer give you bean sprouts, lime and the sauces with the Pho! Definitely a major disappointment without them. The vermicelli was okay, but very cheap with the fish sauce and no carrots in the fish sauce and no peanuts!! I really wish they would step up their game because there is no where else for Pho! I wish I could give a better review but I just ordered the rare beef pho for pickup and the broth wasn t even room temperature let alone hot enough to cook the meat!! I live not even 10 minutes away! Very, very disappointing. I will never be back. Very unfortunate. I ve eaten here before and it was never this bad. Broth doesn t seem to have any flavour. I just hope I don t get sick from eating it because I can t just throw it out. I hate to waste food!! Normally I go to another Vietnamese place further away and never had a temperature problem but it was closed on Sundays.

Highly recommend the vietnamese coffee if youve never had it! Its a bit sweet but yummy!

Very disappointed visit today. The first server was impatient and somewhat rude. She said OK four times and left as soon as we told her what we want. Same thing happened when she served our appetizer; she turned back on us immediately without a single word being said. Thankfully she stopped serving us and went to grab lunch instead. The second server was very polite and checked on us regularly and more importantly with a SMILE:) Besides service, unfortunately, the noodles tasted really bad. The noodles were way too soft and OVERCOOKED or it might be the quality of the noodles they used was poor that way. Haven t been to Lemongrass for a long time and the quality of food and service have gone downhill a lot.

December 22, 2023

I went here to have pho while stopping by Kamloops. I order the house special. As a Vietnamese who eat pho my whole life from Vietnam to Canada, this is probably the worst bowl of pho I have ever had. The broth is missing the unique flavour, and it is sweet, which is really weird. Usually, it will be garnished with white/green onion, but my bowl came with nothing on top. The house special usually will come with all kind of cuts from the beef, but I can only see 2 slides of beef ball and some thin slides of rare beef. We usually eat pho with bean sprout and basil, but the restaurant only gave us a tiny bit of very stale bean sprout. I asked for some chilly oil, which is usually a compliment like hoisin sauce and hot sauce for a Vietnamese restaurant. When I pay, I just realize that they charge $1.50 for a tiny bit of chilly oil, which the waitress did not inform me at all. Such a disappointment when I saw 4.3 stars on Google. Definitely don t recommend this place to anyone who want to try a good and authentic bowl of pho.

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

Unsatisfied We expected better from this place to come at par or above average in terms of true and authentic Vietnamese flavour. We were disappointed to find their Pho broth isn t as authentically flavourful a bowl of delicious noodle soup suppose to be. Firstly, the garnishing was a sign that it won t turn out good. The beansprouts wasn t fresh and looks likes its been sitting out in a bowl of cold water for weeks. In addition, traditionally the beansprout should come with basils and lots of it including the beansprouts. Secondly, the broth flavour was too sweet and lacking the Pho flavour which is odd. We think they didn t add MSG catering to caucasian clients. MSG isn t bad for you people, we Asians been eating it for millennia. Everything is bad for us just have it in moderation. Finally, they didn t notified us that they ll charge $1.50 for a small chilli sauce which is suppose to be included with the Pho. We understand we went through a pandemic and recession that has affected us all but at least let us know. Also, cheap out on the meats. I lived here many years before and so far I yet to taste true genuine Pho representing Vietnamese dishes. Hopefully, someone see this and make an effort in the future.

The server puts in my order wrong, charged me with the food that I did not ordered, and refuses to admit nor apologize that she served me food that I didn t want. Additionally, there was no service throughout my dining experience; no one came to check up on me and no greetings. When I asked about the menu, which is what type of noodles that come with the combo. the server wasn t able to explain anything but, it s noodles . The dish came after 20 minutes of waiting with no acknowledgement; which was not what I ordered but I didn t notice. She served me the rice dish with a fork and chopsticks. After 5 minutes with her walking right passed me, on the phone and ignoring me, I had to go up to the counter to bring a spoon back myself. The dish I ordered was three color combo . What I was served was special combo , or whatever they called it. I didn t notice the difference since the only difference was there were prawns and $2 upcharge in the special combo I didn t know that for a fact until again I went up to them for the check; since no one came and asked me if I want the check or not. It s then I realized I was served and charged with the wrong food. Again as I stated before, the server didn t seem apologetic nor willing to own up to her mistake. When they took my order, she didn t repeat it nor to make sure she got it right. Which is another reason why I think this restaurant is really unprofessional and condescending to its customers. A side note, the food was fine, not impressive.

Our go to spot for pho in Kamloops is Lemongrass Vietnamese Restaurant. We had some beers appetizers and noodles. The chicken wings were good. Came out fresh from the fryer and the meat was moist. Seasoned well. The gyozas were good. The Hue Spicy Soup is delicious with the perfect amount of heat. Ample toppings and noodles. My friends enjoyed the House Special Noodles. If you are in Kamloops and have a craving for pho this is the place.

Food is mediocre at best and surprisingly pricey for what you get. It was over salted yet lacking in flavour at the same time. A side of extra noodles will run you $4.50 and they charge $1.50 for a table spoon of chili oil?! Service was decent and was the saving grace here. They also have gluten free options which is a bonus.

Terrible experience will not be going back! After we were seated I leaned against the table to look at the menu and became grossed out after leaning back because my shirt was sticking to something sticky on the edge of the table and left residue on my shirt. Then we ordered, my husband got the #25 pho and I got the Three colour combo(cant remember what number that was). Our server brought out my husbands food first and he started eating while I was waiting my food... The server then brought out two dishes, one was mine and the other dish was for the table beside us, she placed the dish in front of me after giving the others food the them and I noticed it wasnt my dish. She repeated the order saying it was the special and I said no I ordered the Three colour combo, she then turned to the table next to me and was going to grab his dish when she noticed he was already eating it. She explained to me that the only difference between his dish and mine was a prawn skewer so I said thats fine Ill just eat the shrimp and then she had the audacity to ask me to hand her the shrimp skewer off the dish because it was meant for the other table...I handed it to her and she TURNED TO THE TABLE AND SAID HERES YOUR SHRIMP FOR YOUR ODER !! she didnt even go get him a new skewer nothing! and to top it off I had touched that same skewer before she handed it to him! I know I shouldnt have eaten my food but I was really hungry, now for the food! All the meat on my plate was cold, the marinated pork was burnt, and the dish overall lacked flavor. Ive had some really good Vietnamese food but this is not it!

Great experience with Lemongrass Kamloops~ Dine around 6 pm with a very short wait and get seated soon. We got the chicken wings, rare beef pho, chicken curry, tofu lemongrass, and their boba tea. As a cbc growing up drinking boba tea their boba really shocked me with amazing flavours and chewy pearls. The pho is the most authentic Vietnamese pho Ive tried, broth taste like it was boiled with flavourful ingredients for hours. Overall their service and food are amazing, truly the best Vietnamese food in town.

We stopped here for lunch while on a long road trip and it was such a delicious meal. Very fresh and fast service. The servers were very helpful. Have to recommend the Laksa (curry soup) and it was the best dish I ve ever had. Spring rolls were amazing as well as the vermicelli bowls. This is a must stop place!

Decided to visit here for lunch because of the reviews. I was rather disappointed, my spring rolls were cold or else they could have been not bad. the phó was overly salted and was not enjoyable. The broth is usually the best part in my opinion. It wasnt terrible, just but definitely had better pho elsewhere.

This is Chinese restaurant NOT Vietnamese restaurant. Thats why the taste of PHO Vietnamese food not good. Their taste is best in Chinese food as same as Stir fry, Deep Fried and Steam.

Expected the pho to be better for the price, and stop charging for condiments that should be included with the soup, your prices are already quite high lol. And what s with the hoisin in your satay chilli oil?

The food was mediocre at best, the wait time was long and not worth it. while eating, one of the servers was spraying the table next to me and it got on my arm too. It wasn t as if the food was super cheap too. Be expected to pay around $17-$20 per person.

Stopped by for dinner and got lucky to find parking in this small plaza. A bit hard to find without GPS. The deco inside feels more like a Japanese restaurant. Both the spicy hue soup and stirred fry beef rice noodle are good, but the portion seems to be ok the smaller side, at least on the meat to carbs portion.

My friends and I have been regular customers here for over a year and unfortunately today was our last time coming here ever, again. A lady named Floridence was serving us, and she was so incredibly hostile. when we asked for extra limes she responded very abruptly and rudely and said fine I ll get some for you and then a minute later came back with only a quarter of a lime wedge and said it would cost 50 cents for that. When we politely questioned this new policy of charging for the smallest part of a lime, she shook her head and said oh sorry, I guess sarcastically and walked away. On top of this she didn t check on us throughout our meal or ask how the food was. The only other time she came up to us was when she was asking for payment I ve been going here for over a year and I ve never heard of this policy or seen this server. So unfortunate. My friends and I will never come back here. 100% recommend Doughnut King. Family owned local business with great customer service!!

The service and food unfortunately marred my dining experience. The bun bo hue I was told Id be charged if I wanted the typical side of beansprouts. The soup also tasted like spicy water: It didnt have the body of pork and beef as described in the menu. When asked for more base broth to temper the spice level (and improve the taste), I was told that Id be charged. Basically I would have to pay to make my meal enjoyable. As a Viet who grew up in a pho restaurant, Im disappointed in the food and the service. Overpriced for the quality and quantity as well unfortunately .

Got delivery. Skimpy portions even for Kamloops standards. Not sure why the lemongrass chicken was shredded. They really tried to cover the plate by slicing the proteins as thin as possible. I dont get all the 5 star reviews here, its like theyve never eaten outside this city. To be balanced the lemongrass chicken tasted fine, the other dish was eh.

Very fresh and delicious. Carefully prepared with nice dish presentation. A bit pricey in comparison to other similar restaurants. Veggie Pho is not entirely vegetarian, as it is cooked in a beef broth. Yet the choice of a vegetarian salad roll was a nice surprise, as it came with tofu. Their regular salad roll, contains shrimp and pork; so not a dish for pescatarians. Servers were rather friendly and paid attention to detail, on whether we had any allergies or not. Busy and filled with patrons. We always had our water glasses filled. A lovely dining experience in the end.

Great menu selection and lots of booth seating. The service is great. Really welcoming, fast and friendly. Its personal preference but I find the spices overpower the cinnamon in the Pho broth and noodles were overcooked. The rare roast beef is delicious and the portions are generous...I found the salad rolls choked with lettuce and again overpowered by spices. But a LOT of people have said they really like that. Its totally up to you. If you love cilantro.... It will be a hit. I say give Lemongrass a try and decide for yourself.

Pros: good amount of beef in the pho and i felt the meat it self was decent quality. Cons. No tripe or tendon available. Did not come with cilantro, and getting cilantro would be an extra dollar. Chili oil (which had zero spice, and was incredibly sweet) was an extra dollar for a tiny amount. Did not come with chili peppers. Broth was bland. Noodles were overcooked. Came back and tried the chicken curry as i felt maybe i went on a bad day. Honestly, it wasnt very good. Too sweet, yet bland at the same time and had very little substance to it for being $20.
