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.

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 👌

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!
