Lemongrass Thai Bistro

I had a voucher for $20 to spend at Lemongrass, so I decided to take out for a movie night with friends. I ordered the Lemongrass Chicken $10.95 and Pad Thai $10.95

WARNING! Peanuts in Pad Thai – ask for no peanuts if you allergy to nuts!

During the take-out phone call, I had to talk slowly and repeat several times – not sure if she is used to English…? Anyways, when I went in to pick up, the restaurant was empty except for one other customer who looked like she was waiting for someone, or her take-out order. The young staff greeted me friendly while the older ‘manager’ looking woman didn’t acknowledge me or anything but continued to work on papers and cashier stuff. She seemed unhappy and gloomy.

Both dishes were pretty good, but my friend noticed that the Pad Thai may have some peanuts at the bottom, so I had to stick to the Chicken…(note: that this was a take out order so the presentation and plates are not of the restaurants)

Would I go back? Not sure…

Vina Vietnamese at Pacific Centre

I ordered Combo 1 with chicken $8.95 which comes with vermicelli, lettuce, chicken skewer and a roll. The price is not worth the quality and quantity, but I was still craving for it. The chicken came out of the fridge to be warmed up. Nothing was spectacular about the food or service.

Located inside the Pacific Centre mall.

Pho Goodness

It was a nice day, so we decided to eat out on the park benches that were placed on Bute and Davie street. It was jam packed and very busy. We didn’t get any smiles from the staff.

The Pho was good, and although it seemed small because it was in a small bowl, it was quite filling and expanded as we put the noodles into the soup, which was in another bowl. The bean sprouts, lime and such came in a clear plastic bag.

Another hole-in-the-wall Pho places which I’d prefer to take out than dine-in, though I’ve never dined in here. I am tempted to try the Central Pho which relocated only a few doors down that seems more spacious, clean and decent.
