Green Lemon Grass

First time trying this place... I overheard a staff mentioning the restaurant's been around for decades. I tried their sliced beef in soup noodles with satay & peanut sauce - great presentation, savory soup base, but the noodles were a bit mushy. The beef slices were good, not tough to chew even after they were cooked by the broth. I'm not a fan of the sticky tables and being seated right next to the hallway of the plaza - too much traffic next to me.

Walked inside the mall and this reminds me on Asia. No glass windows separating the dining area and hallway. You can see recycled boxes in the front. Not a big deal to me, but maybe for others it is. I’m sure management will clean the hallways better. The food is good. We ordered a number of items. Pho (all mix beef), the chicken skewers, laska noodle soup, dry Vietnamese noodles, grilled pork chop rice platter, and roti bread with curry chicken potatoes.

got the lemon grass pork chop rice and the sliced beef in satay peanut soup! they were both really good and it was truly authentic! price was reasonable as well! around 30-40$ in total in the end. the soup dish was my favorite, it had lots of layers of flavour- spiciness from the satay, the satay obviously, a hint of sweetness from small pineapple pieces, a tint of citrus from the lime (which is optional), and peanut (with a little bit of crunchy texture to the peanut crumbs in the soup too). The portions were big too and i’m definitely going back to try the other dishes- i heard the curry is to go for too. seriously mad that i didn’t find out about this place sooner! the pics below may not do it justice (i took these after i started eating)

This resto used to be a staple in my family's lineup but we rarely ever come here anymore. The prices skyrocketed through the roof (beyond typical inflation). The one dish that I do keep coming back for occasionally, is the curry beef brisket (with either rice or roti depending on my mood). The curry is extremely flavourful, the brisket is quite abundant in each order and the tenderness is usually on point as well. The pho USED to be above avg quality but it's typically a no-go for me these days (and there's way better, more authentic options in the york region area if we're being real). The roti is more of a malay style roti. A lil bit chewier and thicker than usual but still delicious and kinda flaky. I sparingly order from here nowadays because of just how insane the price is for one curry dish (over $20!!!). But I will concede that they give you a big portion of curry. I think it's usually consistent (maybe once or twice I've gotten an egregiously little amount protein). If you're looking for truly authentic pho (or more specifically, authentic Vietnamese food) I would advise going to another resto. If you're looking for good food in general, this resto does have some sleeper hits!

I like this place for the curry beef brisket + roti. The brisket has an enjoyable meaty texture that balances chew vs tenderness well. Portion size of the brisket and roti is generous. Very satisfying and would re-order this. The pho here however is sub-par. Tiny beef balls and the broth is too salty. Similarly the laksa leans on the salty side and my companion didn’t bother finishing the fish balls. I tried one and agreed it was not great. No washroom at this restaurant, have to use the shared one within the plaza

For those who love Vietnamese food. I would recommend this restaurant because the food quality is very well maintained (tasty), big portion & price are reasonable!!! Waitresses are friendly!! I have been a fan for the past few years & still enjoy their famous noodles soup & few other spicy chicken curry/rice….and much more ❤️ Give yourself a try!

A Vietnamese restaurant wuth a Thai twist!🤔 We, 5 of us, went for lunch and ordered curry mutton and curry chicken with pan cake. The curry mutton or lamb meat was excellent! The pan cake, though a bit oily, was good. The curry chicken fillet was also good but not as good as the other. We started with the Vietnamese spring roll, very tasty and differentbfrom the Chinese style spring roll. I tried the Vietnamese coffee to seal the lunch but that was a disappointment. Nothing to write home about. The noodle with raw beef is a standard dish in most if not all Vietnamese restaurant and it was pretty good.

Used to be one of my favourite places for South East Asian food but the quality seems to have gone down. Most of the Vietnamese dishes are average. The iced coffee is still good and the naan and curry are still excellent. Service is usually good. If going to any of the food places in this plaza remember that the restrooms are not directly accessible from most of the restaurants. You have to go to the restrooms near the access to the underground parking.
