Ginger and Lemongrass

Great experience. Loved the variety of the food. Chicken wings were delicious. The bonebarrow beer tartar was interesting. First time ever trying it. Won't get it again but it was cute! Haha just not for me. The pho was flavorful. Service was great. I recommend.

Came back to Ginger and Lemongrass after several years and the food is still really good! I had the Beef Pho with the sliced rare eye round and brisket combo. The beef was super flavorful! The waitress was helpful and it was a nice, relaxed environment for a weekday lunch. Highly recommend. Just wish they had some unsweetened, decaf options for tea as well.

Can you believe you can get a pho with beef, chicken, or pork for just $14.50 on the Lower East Side?! Their noodle soup is highly customizable: first, choose your base: beef, chicken, or vegan pho, spicy lemongrass, or coconut curry; then select your protein: sliced rare eye round, beef brisket, grilled pork, grilled chicken, or vegetables. You can even add roasted bone marrow for just $6 more! They offer two sizes: $14.50 for a small and $16.50 for a medium. Personally, I found the small size more than enough. It’s generously packed with noodles and meat. My friend thought the medium might still be on the smaller side for those with a bigger appetite. ＊Coconut Curry Lemongrass Pho $14.50 I chose the coconut curry lemongrass soup, which was the most recommended base in online reviews.

Not authentic Viet food! I was homesick and searching for a pho spot nearby when I was deeply disappointed with the Chicken Pho I had here. The owner and chef don’t seem to be Vietnamese, as grilled chicken is never used in pho in Vietnam. This completely ruined the taste. Even if I tried to consider it a fusion dish, it’s simply bad. The grilled chicken meat was incredibly dry. Don’t ruin our people food with your bad creativity.

One of my favs in nyc 🤫i want to keep it lowkey because its a bit small inside but they deserve their flowers. When you need a flavorful broth and god ingredients this is THE. SPOT. I get the spicy lemongrass soup with vegetables. Pristine. Perfect intersection of Thai Vietnamese cuisine. I can't say enough good things about this place. The bahn mi are amazing the bread is excellent pickles are excellent. I love the chicken one and the fish one (still need to try the beef) Love the savory betel leaf wagyu appetizer also
