Lemongrass is always a good place for lunch at a reasonable price.The lunch special menu is still a great deal, especially being in Brookline.Vermicelli Bun is delicious and can't go wrong, or a pork chop rice plate.Get a sampler to share with friends, or if you don't have friends, eat it all by yourself!

Pho Lemongrass has become one of my new favorite spots to order Vietnamese food from. I usually order PL through Ubereats and it gets here right on time - however there was one time another driver had taken our order by mistake. I have tried a different array of items - eggrolls, Thai iced tea, summer rolls, pho bo vien, canh chua, and their vermicelli bowls. My boyfriend and I really enjoy their vermicelli bowls as they are filled with fresh herbs and bun. I love the marinade that they put on their meats and how some come with shrimp, meats, and egg rolls. Their eggrolls are probably one of the better ones in Boston. Perfectly crispy and not dry whatsoever. I also love how they come with the nuoc mam sauce. The Thai iced tea was the perfect color, creaminess, and ice level! Some places just don't make it quite right! I wouldn't really reorder the pho bo vien as the noodles harden during delivery (usually better to be eaten fresh). Canh chua was just okay - I think if I were to order this again, I would order the shrimp or the fish version. It definitely needed something to flavor the broth. It was also a bit too sweet for my liking. Overall, I do enjoy Pho Lemongrass, it's just knowing what you like and don't like! Remember to tip your driver!

Took a little while to be seated for lunch even though the dining room was not busy. I ordered the Mongolian stir fry with tofu and vermicelli. It was unremarkable: tofu was sauted, not fried, vermicelli was hot and tasty. Not much variety in vegetables. My partner ordered grilled pork bun. He said the sauce was pretty sweet, unusual for bun. However, there were generous portions of pork. Good service at the table. The ambiance /decor is outdated and tired. Probably will not return.

Decent Pho location in Brookline. Not out of this world good but was alright. Big enough that you dont usually have to wait too long for a table.

A bowl of Pho on a cold night warms body and soul. Also really love the whole fish here. Really, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Warm, pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant, and a fantastic place for takeout. Very friendly owners and staff.

Tried this spot on a Friday night and had a great experience. Staff was friendly and efficient. I've had pho in over 100 restaurants and this spot was comparable. The broth had great flavor and they clearly used good quality ingredients. I will say the extra large portion was on the smaller side of extra larges. They have a full bar which also is a plus. As someone who lives in the area I'll definitely be back.
First time eating here with my family. Good location. Great ambiance The service was great. The food was authentic and tasty, especially the 'Pepper Soft Shell Crab' dish was delicious! It's definitely recommended.

Pho lemongrass is my partner and my choice for decent Pho in Brookline (Pho Basil and any pho place in Dorchester are way better). I’ve started to notice they have started to package less and less noodles and soup for takeout orders to the point where I’m getting literally 50% as much food as if I dined in. It saddens me that they’ve shortchanged me with delivery for the past several times and I don’t plan on ever going on. I’m more so saddened because this was a convenient pho option.

Overpriced lunches and I ordered all vegetarianbut didn5 ask for vegetarian spring rolls and they gave me meat. Maybe should have asked. Most places spring rolls do no5 have meat. And they are 8 bucks! I'm all set not worth the money.Vegetarian options: Not very good or very much food. Go somewhere else
