I had high expectations, and was looking forward to eating at Lemongrass Fusion Bistro for quite a long time. Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed and let down.
The lack of a physical menu, and use of your phone to view the menu needs much polish. The digital menu made understanding what was available very difficult, as you could only see several items at a time, organization was poor. But this was the smallest issue.
Nice location, was seated almost immediately. Prices for Chinese food are a premium, so my expectations were high. Unfortunately, the service was mediocre and the food varied from ok to almost disgusting, where i could not finish.
The Cashew Shrimp & Scallops was actually good, and left no room for complaint. However, the Lemon Sole was disturbingly bad. It is listed as a lighted fried Sole Filet with "Cajun spices, veggies, lemon butter, and rice". This dish would have fared much better if the fried fish was served on its own. There was no spice to be found, and the lemon butter sauce had no flavor of lemon nor acidity and really just sat as a very heavy sauce that was bland and destroyed the dish. Perhaps this was a one time mistake, but the restaurant was not busy, and for this quality of restaurant and price, it should be expected for the chef to taste the sauce. I ate about half of it, and was not happy I ate that much
The Roll ordered for an appetizer was delivered incorrectly, and the correct roll did not appear until after the bill was paid and we were ready to walk out. Kitchen stated they were still making it, after 45 minutes I think it is obvious it was forgotten.
Our waitress filled our glasses once, and would disappear for 15 minutes at a time. The other waitress seemed exceedingly busy and active, in fact I had to ask her twice to find our waitress. This was a slow weekday night.
So sorry to leave a negative review, I had high hopes and looked forward to this. Unfortunately there weren't any redeeming traits.

On my quest to try every pho in Columbus.
This wasn't bad. It tasted good, I will say that, it was a delicious bowl of soup. But it didn't quite have that deep beefy flavor a good bowl of pho has, and while I could taste the herbs, the spices (clove, cinnamon, ginger, anise, coriander seeds, cardamom) weren't quite coming through. Also not a fan of how they put the hoisin and sriracha in the bowl itself instesd of giving it to you on the side-- hoisin is what you use to disguise a mediocre bowl of pho. The beef was tough.
My partner's pad thai was pretty tasty, but they got spice level 3 and we didn't taste any spice at all 😂
My friend got the zucchini tofu, and he said it was delicious. I got a taste of the sauce, and it was a wonderful thai curry, good coconut milk flavor.
We also had some veggie spring rolls. Very tiny portions ($5 for two tiny fried spring rolls???) but they smelled incredible and tasted pretty good.
Service was super slow but friendly. Overall not a bad experience, but if I want good viet food, I'd head to Lieu's or Huong's.

This is my second time visiting Lemongrass despite the mediocre customer service the first time, because the food is delicious. My classmate and I were celebrating, and the young lady/greeter was so very unpleasant from the very beginnjng, and Mitchell, our server, wasn't much better with his lack of attentiveness. I arrived just as they opened, observing they were still cleaning up. Once the "greeter" opened the door, I asked if I could step in just for air, while giving them space to still clean and setup, although the opening hours and my reservations was 11:30am. I stood there for almost 6 minutes without any real greeting or courtesy check on my reservations. We stayed for our meal/celebration and had a good time for 3 hours. During that time, there were no more than a dozen customers in and out, yet our service was consistently slow and dismissive.
Too bad. I love the food but would never revisit again or recommend Lemongrass to others.

We'll start with positives, The waiter was friendly and attentive, and the seafood rangoon was genuinely good. That's where the positives end. Upon walking into the restaurant it smelled like rotten fish.
The lack of physical menus is very annoying.
Ordered the fried rice by recommendation of our waiter. The meat that came in our dish looked as if it was over cooked in boiling water. All the meats were overcooked and gray. The flavor of the dish wasn't inedible, but I have certainly had significantly better. What really bothers me more than anything, two orders of fried rice, one order of seafood ragoon (which was four pieces) and a single coke. My bill came to over $60 with tip. For the quality of food I was served, I feel absolutely ripped off. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our one-year anniversary... Our day was amazing, this was a rather large speed bump in the day that I would prefer to forget.

Lemongrass is so good! Great menu, amazing service … but it’s loud. Not a deal-breaker, but it was noticeable. Everything we ordered was top-notch and we were very well taken care of by staff. Would go again!
Service was extremely slow.
SCALOPED SCALLOPS was TO DIE FOR!! so yummy! As are the the fried biscuits! Heavenly! The soup was a tasty broth. The Zucchini Tofu had great flavors i just wish the sauce wasn’t so runny.

Wanted to eat Asian food. It was cold night so decided to try Pho. This is my first time here. Asked for spicy broth level 5.
4 stars for the mango sticky rice. It was good mango, perfect sweetness.
And the people work there are helpful. Good service

I got the Lemongrass salad with salmon, the Lemongrass soup and Lemongrass sushi roll. I wasn't expecting the salmon on the salad to be fried, but it was a pleasant surprise! The fruit was a nice, fresh addition. The soup and sushi were delicious as well. Overall good experience.
