    This is our 2nd time going to this Vietnamese restaurant in Whitestone. It was so good we took my sister and her friend after the movies. Love love their decorations. It's simple, charming and 1000% coziness. Great for an romantic date! Service was great, friendly, the dishes were big and very generous. Definitely bang for your buck. 1st time we came if for lunch. - hot Aloe Honey Tea not overly sweet just the way we like it. - hot Ginger Honey tea. If you love ginger this is good. - large beef combo pho with bone marrow. Love love the broth. - Grilled beef wrapped in bettel leaf. Grilled Wagyu beef in bettel leaf, comes with rice sheet and pineapple fish sauce dressing. This is a perfect snack or great for sharing. - Pork Belly sandwich. to go, huge cuts of pork Belly in the sandwich 2nd time for dinner - Passionfruit Honey tea - Ginger honey tea - Pitaya lychee refresher - Sweet & Spicy Wings taste like a spicy version of sweet chili sauce - Green Thai Curry with shrimp and rice on the side - Braised pork Belly vietnamese style slowly braised pork Belly in slightly sweet caramelized stew serves with rice. Very generous portions; my sister has 6 huge cuts of the pork Belly - Large five spice Beef pho - Large spicy coconut and lemongrass pho with bone marrow. This is definitely worth getting. Not overly spicy lots of coconut water in the broth super flavorful. Everything was delicious and the portions size were good. Definitely coming back again. Downside about is street parking Not really great with disabilities Great for large parties

    All my previous sentiments are still true. I love this place! When I want a nice comforting bowl of deliciousness and warmth, I come here. On my last visit with a group of friends, I ordered the MANGO KAFFIR LIME MULE which is Kaffir lime leave soju, mango puree and ginger beer. It is to die for. The perfect amount of sweetness and tang from the mango and the ginger. Service as usual was amazing. Even with our larger party they were attentive, sat us quickly, and brought everything out in a timely manner. We sat to the left which always gives me private room vibes and we had the table by the windows so the sunshine coming through while we chatted and enjoyed our food gave the perfect vibe on a chilly winter day.

    Reliable soups and sandwiches with well sized portions. The flavors are pronounced and rich without being overly salty. We love the spicy coconut lemongrass soup, which is the right amount of spice offset by the coconut milk. The iced coffee is also strong yet sweet due to the condensed milk. They've renovated and upgraded the interior over time so it stays looking bright and fresh. The service is friendly but can be slow if it's busy.

    The food here is absolutely delicious. I get take out here often but I don't think it beats the experience of eating in here. The service was great, I asked her to pack my bone marrow for me and right away she asked if it's for my doggie which it was and I thought that was sweet how she knew. The ambiance is nice, I like how quiet and spacious it was. I would def come back !!!

    Ginger & Lemongrass may be a run of the mill southeast asian eatery to you, but to me, it's the unsung hero of Beechhurst, Queens for my reservation-weary self, fleeing the trenches of the Manhattan and Brooklyn restaurant scene for one night. My group of 15 hungry souls, fresh from the dubious pleasures of a local spa (don't ask which one) stumbled into this Vietnamese restaurant with just 15 minutes notice. In Manhattan, this scenario would lead to a comedy of errors, perhaps ending with everyone eating bodega sandwiches on the curb. But in Queens, this can be your Saturday night! Ginger & Lemongrass doesn't so much welcome you as it does shrug and say "yeah we got space." It's the kind of place that reminds you that dining out doesn't have to be a competitive sport, that sometimes you can just eat. I guess this is what living in the suburbs is like? To address the pho in the room-- this isn't the sort of place that would make a Vietnamese person weep with joy. My Viet friend says the menu defines authenticity loosely. But we were cold, tired, and hungry, and the wings and noodles were great. I definitely recommend getting the curry soup with shrimp or chicken. Prices were reasonable, and I really appreciated how unbothered the staff was by our large group. We even had a semi-private room to ourselves. Ginger & Lemongrass isn't going to be the subject of breathless food reviews but for the prices and breadth of options on their menu, I was totally charmed.

    The PRO; The restaurant ambience is very good and comfy and the food is not bad too. The CON; This restaurant's management need to either train their wait staffs on customer service or hire more experienced wait staff. Their menu is not even that complicated to begin with (just 1 page of food and 1 page of cocktails and beverages). When the waitress was taking our order, we wanted to order the "Vermicelli" on the menu but waitress told us that was a "salad"!....This isn't our 1st time having Vietnamese cuisine so we're aware of what "Vermicelli" is like. How can a server not know their restaurant's menu well? Then upon finishing our meal, there was a piece of "Chicken and Shrimp Fried Spring Roll" left from our appetizer plate. The appetizer was pretty good and we decided to place another order of the same dish for take out. We told the same server that we would like to place another order of this Chicken and Shrimp Fried Spring Roll (pointing to the exact one on our plate) for takeout and she nodded. Then another server came to ask if we would like to pack up that remaining Chicken and Shrimp Fried Spring Roll on our table? So we told this server that we already place another order for this exact same appetizer so he can pack them all together. He said "Good"!.....and when we got home and opened the takeout package, we find some odd Looking Fried Spring Roll in the bag (which isn't the same as the one that we had at the restaurant) ‍‍

    Coconut spicy soup with beef topped with hoisin sauce
    Natasha F.

    I ordered the coconut spicy soup with beef through Uber eats for lunch! The broth was on point and I appreciate the hoisin sauce and sriracha chili sauce packets it came with. Tiny cups of chili sauce were also included as well - much appreciated - everything was well packed and included a bag of top of toppings which included bean sprouts, lime slices and fresh green chili pepper slices. The small was a generous portion with enough noodles to fill you up. Wish the beef was a little less tough but it was edible.

    Fried Spring Rolls

    Delicious. Not your typical viet pho place but food was still yummy. Walking in, it gave me more of a modern Vietnamese restaurant vibe. I usually order the Coconut Spicy Lemongrass Soup with chicken and boi oh boi is it delicious. It's the perfect amount of coconut and spice. I always end up having leftovers and it is even more delicious the next day. My family usually like the beef pho and it tastes pretty authentic. The fried spring rolls are delicious and we usually get the shrimp and chicken. We tried a beef cube dish expecting it to be like other Vietnamese restaurants but it wasn't what we expected. The beef came out more mushy and the flavor wasn't different from what we expected. Overall the pho is delicious and lunch specials are pretty worth it. Staff are all friendly and have great recommendations whenever we ask what they recommend!

    Do not recommend especially if you have allergy or dietary restrictions. Asked for no cilantro - on the phone and double checked again when I picked it up at the restaurant. "Yeah they didn't put cilantro." It sure did. Good thing I don't have allergy. If you have allergy you should really be careful. We asked twice to make sure, but servers don't even care what you get. You may be eating pork without knowing even after you tell them no pork.

    I was craving pho and haven't ventured to Whitestone before so I decided to give this spot a try. The inside is very spacious and clean, be mindful of the low hanging lights though near the tables. The staff was amazing, perfect amount of leave me alone and let me eat, and making sure I have enough water throughout my meal. Also I really like the water they served, it's infused with cucumber, mint and ginger. The food and drinks though. Wow. I started with the chicken and shrimp spring rolls. Perfectly crisp and I liked how they put a whole shrimp inside the roll. It's served with lettuce for some veggies and to cut down some of the salt and grease. The rolls were slightly too salty for my taste. I got the beef pho with mixed meat combo and it was so rich and delicious. I felt my soul healing after working out the whole day from the warmth of the broth. I also added on a bone marrow because my friend had recommended it and it was a great chunk of marrow. There a healthy amount of rice noodles and meat in the pho overall. Highly recommend this dish for a "I don't know what I want to eat" or a hangover meal. I also got the coconut water with pandan whip. I started to get drinks during meals because I wanted to treat myself to something I can't make, but will try to recreate at home. This was THE drink, it was so hydrating and creamy. The pandan was creamy and had the best essence of pandan. No exaggeration, I would return to this restaurant just for this drink. Anyways, this spot was a great find, I will be returning for my pho fix.

    So I my last review I said I wouldn't come back... but I was in the area and I totally forgot what my experience was like. Luckily it seems like things have changed. The spring rolls are wrapped in a rice paper (maybe?) wrap. We got the pork and mushroom filling this time. So much better than the shrimp we got last time. The Pho broth is very savory. The brisket is well executed. The round eye could use a bit more seasoning. I love that you can add bone marrow to your pho. Seating is plentiful. Service is prompt and friendly. Overall a nice meal.

    I love this place everything about this place from The beef pho to the drinks and ambiance. Beautiful restaurant. At times, service can be below average but I'll tolerate because the food is always yum

    5 Spice Beef Brisket Sandwich ($13) - delicious!

It's a small place with around six tables and three staff members (two in the kitchen and one taking orders, serving, bussing, and cleaning). Not the most glamorous vision of a restaurant, right? But the food is tasty! We had the summer rolls, peppered calamari, the signature pho, and the beef short-rib pho. The summer rolls and calamari were good, you could taste the freshness of the veggies and shrimp. I wish the calamari had been a bit crispier and seasoned with a touch more salt and pepper, but it was still very good. The real reason I'll be coming back is the pho broth. Some people might describe it as slightly sweet, but to me, it had a rich, balanced flavor. I'm not sure if the short rib is available all the time (it does have a lot of fat, as beef short rib often does), but it was flavorful. Definitely coming back to try more.

Even though the restaurant was full and he was managing the front solo, he handled everything with such grace.
