Very impressed with the new and improved Lemongrass in Kea’au shopping center near Foodland. I had not visited in over 4 years as the food had previously become a bit bland. I ordered the Lemongrass Chicken Special plate that comes with rice and a fresh green salad (made to order). A light sweet fish sauce is on the side in a solo cup for the chicken. The portion would be enough for two to share. The Chicken without the sauce was well seasoned and I guess it was a Vietnamese dish. The menu is very varied with Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese options. I have lived in NYC and was used to the typical "Americanized" Chinese dishes and was happy to see many of my favorites on the menu. The steam table is open from 9:30 to 3PM and the food looked very appetizing and fresh and I have included photos. I've always been suspicious of pre made food and don't order if it looks droopy and lacking in color. The steam table selections all appeared appetizing. I also noticed that the Lemograss chicken was not overly salted. I'm planning on returning again tomorrow to try other options. The portions are big and prices are still very reasonable.

Great restaurant that takes vegetarian dining seriously. Staff meticulously checks every ingredient to ensure our customized meals don’t have any meat sauce/ingredients. Delicious dishes - veg fried rice, Singapore noodles, and eggplant curry were all amazing.

My favorite thing about my experience here was the positive response to my asking about special requests. I was happily told that they could do anything I wanted. I ordered sweet and sour chicken with my sauce on the side and fried rice without peas and carrots. My order was ready in 10 minutes and was soooo good. They put it all in a bag to keep it together while traveling, too, which was very nice. Convenient location in the Kea'au shopping center between Foodland and Ace, friendly service, and great food!
