    My partner and I stopped here by quick chance after such a hard hike near the area. This was such a pleasant surprise. Authentic Vietnamese food. We started off with spring rolls the tofu combination was my favorite over chicken and veggie, pair it with the peanut sauce for a lovely pairing. I hate filet mignon and the cut was beautiful! The flavor was there, the right tenderness, flavor, top tier. Kudos to the chef!!! My partner grabbed the Lemongrass chicken with vermicelli noodles and it was so delicious. No wonder it's such a popular dish. There were other items I wanted to try- specifically the pho tacos but I'll come back again. The restaurant was clean and slow paced and top tier service.

    Food was delicious and offered a great take on modern Vietnamese cuisine. While the pear salad wasn't quite my favorite, everything else we tried was full of flavor and thoughtfully prepared. Shout out to our gracious host and server, Charlene--she was absolutely delightful and made the experience even better. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu. BB

    Cute little Vietnamese place in Eagle Rock with great food. Very clean and modern inside. It's casual but still nice. Parking is a little tricky but honestly this area is always like that. I enjoyed that I got to do a sampler for the spring rolls (the shredded chicken and grilled pork were my favs!) and when I told the staff we were splitting the pho they immediately told me they could put it in two separate bowls. I thought the customer service was excellent. The pho was rich and I ate every bite. Very decent option if you're in the area looking for a place.

    Visited Chateau Lemongrass for a late lunch on a Sunday. The small place wasn't very busy and there was plenty of street parking. Their pho menu is small with few options if you're visiting for pho. I enjoyed their beef pho. The service was very friendly and quick.

    Craving pho and decided to go gets - haven't been for years and it's still really good. Neighborhood spot that's been around for awhile. You can tell they have regulars (dine in and for pickup) because they knew what to order without having to look at a menu. Prices and portions are on point. I love ordering a side plate of onions with my Pho, a must try if you haven't already. My mom loved the chicken curry - tasted a little like panang curry, not Indian curry for those who are curious. Only wish was that they served ice cream with their fried banana dessert. Great customer service - 9 out of 10 for me. Enjoy!

    Excellent Vietnamese restaurant. Great flavors and generous portions. They will even split a pho for you to share. Only a short 10-minute drive from downtown Pasadena, Eagle Rock and Highland Park are often overlooked by foodies. Next time will try nearby Taiwanese shaved ice.

    Chateau Lemongrass is a local hotspot for Vietnamese food that hits the spot every time. Food: Pho broth is steaming hot and packed with flavor every time. Goo Shaken Beef was 10/10, great portions of meat, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Chicken Wings are exactly what you would hope for in an appetizer to kick off your meal Porkchops are probably my favorite thing I've had so far! Service/Ambiance: Always phenomenal and friendly. Staff is attentive to the needs of customers and give off a family vibe. Lots of regulars and locals seem to frequent this spot! If I worked nearby I'd stop by every time for an afternoon lunch or a post work meal.

    This is by far my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I'm a big fan of their pho broth! There something different about it! It taste really authentic packed with flavor! The great thing about this place is I live right down the street! Their chicken wings are amazing, I suggest getting rice with that! The house fried rice is to die for! And the pork chop is always great and flavorful! I usually just come here for the well done beef brisket pho extra noodz! You can't beat it! They got their pho recipe down to a T! If you ever find yourself in the area stop by!!! Service is great! :) and the ambiance is amazing, I really like the modern decor and the music they play! It gets busy at night so make sure you arrive early if you want to try their food.

    Found another gem! Had a taste for pho and my friend suggested this spot. It's small and intimate with metropolitan decor. It's was fairly early in the evening so we were able to get a table right away. Very simple menu (which I love). Sometime restaurants offer too many things and it's hard to choose. I ordered the pho with chicken (which is shredded) I added veggies as well. There's both was so delicious. Just what I was craving. I also order a jasmine tea that had leechee fruit. Soooo delicious. My bestie and I left satisfied and stuffed. We will definitely be back. P.S. Thanks for saving and returning my sunglasses I left!

    Chateau Lemongrass is a busy Vietnamese spot located in the heart of Eagle Rock. We ordered takeout on a busy Memorial Day weekend. We got the garlic noodles with shrimp ($14.50), the highlight of the evening, a super savory garlic kick with a generous supply of fried shrimp, a scrumptious steamed fish filet ($14), an unremarkable chicken pho ($13.50), a good Asian pear salad ($13.50), and a small, but decent Banh-Mi sandwich ($14) "dip" that could have benefitted from more meat and sauce. The steamed fish filet and garlic noodles w shrimp were the winners here - make sure you check them out! The service was very friendly and warm, and the restaurant was clean, modern, but somewhat plain. Never a problem - let the food do the talking. Our large-ish order was ready 20 minutes after ordering, despite being fairly crowded. Impressive haste. The greatest strength of the Chateau, of course, is value. The prices were very reasonable for the quantity of food provided. Perfect for takeout or an easy, weeknight meal. Take a stroll to the local castle - you won't be disappointed. Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 5/5

    Some friends who go to school nearby recommended Chateau lemongrass for cheap, good Vietnamese food. We made reservations, which was helpful since there's not much seating inside. I got the kids pho and pho tacos. The kids pho was exactly what it said in the menu. It was super plain, but it paired well with my pho tacos. The pho tacos were delicious! It does come with the sriracha on top, but I wish that was on the side. You have to find street parking, so we ended up parking a couple blocks away.

    Food quality: 3/5 Presentation: 4/5 Attention to detail: 2/5 Service: 3/5 Vibes: Empty but the art is nice! Value: 4/5 Times been: 1 Return? No The saving grace for this restaurant for me was the pho tacos AND the fact that my GF thought the value was so good. However, the pho is extremely dissapointing. I feel like anyone who has eaten a lot of pho will find this pho easily below average. I think that because the broth was very clear and tasteless, making me wonder if they even made it themselves. My GF really liked the fried rice, but I thought it was just okay. There was not really too much going on with it, but it was definitely reasonably priced. It also took forever to get the food considering that we were the only people there. Overall, not worth trying unless you are really craving Vietnamese food and are in this area.

    First time here. What a great place to have in Eagle Rock! Cold night means some pho to warm up. Modern decore with Vietnamese artwork to remind you of the meal you're about to have. Oof course the filet mignon pho was on order as well as the calamari, steamed fish and spring rolls (ordered after we started eating our entree. Calamari was a bit chewy and not that all crunchy. Spring rolls were good but the peanut sauce needed to be a bit thicker with more peanuts blended in. Pho hit the spot. The filet mignon and pho noodles were good - probably can have filet in the soup. Steamed fish filet was less in size than I thought. It's steamed in banana leaf with mushroom and maybe leek? Whatever it was I really enjoyed. The Fish disappeared in a flash. There's wasn't much fish in the leaf something to consider if you're very hungry. Staff are nice. Parking out front on the street and side streets.

    On Yelp, it says they open at 12. On Google 12. Website says 11 am. Which one is correct?

    when i went on a weekday, they opened at 12p noon.

    Is this hipsterized pho?

    NO it's delicious authentic and fresh

    Do they use MSG in their Pho?

    Most restaurants use MSG in their food. Do you ask every restaurant or only the Asian restaurants?

I ordered the chicken strips with fries, while my partner ordered a two-piece chicken dinner with macaroni salad and spicy rice. Although we had to wait a little while for the food, it arrived hot. We both agreed that it was some of the best fast-food fried chicken we had ever eaten. The chicken was moist and the batter was crispy. My fries were good, and my partner's macaroni salad and spicy rice were both flavorful. We especially loved the biscuit. I also couldn't help noticing that although the dining room feels like something of a relic, it is very well maintained. There were no dirty tables and no trash on the floor. I was genuinely shocked when the cashier came out to ask how everything was and whether we needed anything else. Most fast-food chains seem determined to eliminate as much human interaction as possible. Pioneer Chicken was a refreshing reminder that fast food can still be friendly, clean and satisfying. Pioneer Chicken is a winner in my book!

The chicken was also greasy, but not as greasy as the fish. Would I order again? No. Not because it wasn't good, but because there are much better chicken joints that are not greasy.

The Kodo trio comes with uni, toro, & wagyu and the Toro sampler comes with o-toro, chu-toro, akami. All of these handrolls were phenomenal & just left you wanting more. The Wagyu katsu you cook on a hot stone at the table which I liked as an interactive dish. The Wagyu cheeseburger was dripping with juice but still had those crunchy edges.

Unfortunately, this visit was completely different and left us extremely disappointed. The night we went, there was a large party of at least 30 people gathered around the bar, which made it difficult to get in and out of the restaurant and took away from the overall atmosphere. We ordered the Bicol Express Mezzelune and Crispy Duck Pancit, along with the Clarified Ube Sour and Calamansi Mojito. Unfortunately, neither of us enjoyed the flavor profiles this time. The Bicol Express sauce was too sweet for our taste, while the filling itself was quite dry. The sauce on the duck pancit was also extremely salty. We were hoping our drinks would help cleanse our palates and balance out the meal, but they were forgotten and didn't arrive until the very end. To top things off, after we paid, our credit card wasn't returned to us, and we had to ask another server to retrieve it. Overall, this was a really disappointing experience, especially since we chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and had such great experiences here in the past. We know they're capable of providing a much better experience, which made this visit even more frustrating. After this experience, it's unlikely that we'll be coming back anytime soon. That said, because our previous visits were so enjoyable, we might be willing to give them another try in the future and hope this was simply an off night.
