    Beef Pho Spring Rolls (2) Pad Kra Pao
    Kara B.

    A gem to have nearby! Service is friendly and quick and the food is flavorful! On this most recent visit we had Spring Rolls (comes with 2 even though there is only one in my picture), Pho with beef, and the Pad Kra Pao. Portions are generous and I always want to try more!

    This place is a hidden gem to come eat the staff is very friendly and will act like they known you forever. The spring rolls is fresh and very good. The pad Thai is full of flavor and moist. This is a place I will drive back to Newton just to come eat here.

    Vietnamese Stir Fried Noodles (Mi Xao) Beef
    Yvana J.

    I got the Vietnamese Stir Fried Noodles (Mi Xao) with beef and it was pretty good! The portions were huge for a great price. The ambiance was nice but there was a sad music instrumental playing on the TVs that put a sad mood on the meal. The service was fast and we received our meal quickly after ordering.

    This is a great surprise in a small Iowa town. I had shrimp puffs that were great with wonderful flavor. They could have been cooked a few minutes longer as the shrimp wasn't hot. The Vietnamese noodles were good. I liked the texture of the egg noodle and haven't had that in any other Thai food. I didn't think this dish had as much flavor but it was still good. Spicy level 4 gave me tears for the entire meal and that is not a complaint. I will be back to try other dishes.

    Spring Rolls (2 Pcs). Tasty!
    Mary P.

    Good food ...great service! Stopped on a Saturday night & started with spring rolls. Tasty --especially the peanut sauce. I had Angry stir fry & waiter guided me to 1 for heat & boy was he right! My lips were on fire by the time I finished this yummy beef dish. The rice was perfect in the sauce. Hubby had beef noodle stir fry & it was good as well. Very attentive help.

    We ordered to go and the food was done within 10 minutes. Generous portions. Lots of different vegetables.

    We got our 1st taste of our town's new cuisine. We are excited to have them here and wish them continued success. We tried them on their 2nd day of their soft opening. Please be patient with them while they work out their process. We loved the flavors they brought and will definitely be returning to try the other menu items. We felt it was a bit on the pricier side and do understand the cost of fresh ingredients. The inside is spacious, all though, due to Covid, we got ours to go. They did have plenty of space between the tables. We hope this place becomes a new staple for our town.

    Definitely worth a visit! Their pho is incredible, affordable, and it comes out very quickly! For…read moreanyone who isn't absolutely starving, I'd say a small or medium size would be perfect. Their large bowl is absolutely giant! I highly recommend the #2, which is the raw steak and brisket. It comes with a heaping plate of bean sprouts, jalapeños, limes, and cilantro you can put into the pho, as well as some chili garlic oil and another teriyaki-ish type sauce. Every bit of the meal was absolutely fantastic!

    Time to update my review…read more I was craving Pho. I know that this is the best place in Ankeny for me to kill the craving. Walked in on a early evening and got the last table available. Greeted warmly by a young man who sat us. Another young lady came and got our drink orders. Tvs are on at both ends of the small restaurant but not turned up. Music plays from the overhead speakers. I ordered us the shrimp spring rolls. I just love soaking them in the peanut sauce that comes with them. I ordered the small well done brisket and tendon. Yum. Pho comes with a plate of basil leaves, jalapeños and, bean spouts to add to your broth as you want. It comes out hot and delicious. Hubby got the chicken pad tai. He liked it. I got to take some of my soup home with me to have later. I really enjoy this little place. Lots of people walking in for pick up too. All great signs of a good place to eat.

    Overall - 5/10 Tom Ka - 7/10…read moreGreen Curry - 5/10 Egg Rolls - 6/10 Crab Rangoon - 6/10 Spring Rolls - 7/10 Restaurant - 6/10 Service - 1/10 Not trying to be too harsh as we were happy to find a Thai place in this area. Ordered Tom Ka as medium heat, and was way low on spicy. Ordered green curry as medium heat, WAY too much spicy. Couldn't even eat it. The food overall is edible but average. The service on the other hand was absolutely non-existent. The front is run by, what we guessed it the cook/owner's teenage son. He said literally three words to us during our entire time there. He couldn't be bothered to look up from his phone. We had to go up to the desk to get anything and everything we needed. It was really bad. I gave a point for his dad busting his ass in the back and basically running the entire place by himself.

    We came with our work team, on our drive back to Iowa City - here's what we have to say!…read more Team member 1: I ordered the seafood noodle soup. It was good, but also nothing that knocked my socks off just average. It was a pho with lots of different seafood in it such as crab, shrimp, and calamari. The broth was really good. Also it was a very quiet restaurant with no music playing so the atmosphere was not lively. The service was really good. Total 3.5/5 Team member 2: An absolute delight. When life gives you a lemon, squeeze it onto your Thai food and eat it. 4.4/5 Team member 3: Quite simply, my experience at lemon grass was very, very lovely. The food (i got the pineapple fried rice and had some of my wife's pad thai) was phenomenal. The service was superb. The ambiance was a bit somber but very quiet and peaceful. Plus the prices were very reasonable! Overall, i would highly recommend this place for anyone searching for great food in Adel...... 4.7/5.0 Team member 4: I really enjoyed my experience at Lemon Grass! The food was delicious and very flavorful. The atmosphere was perfect for a meal with family, a chill meal, or generally good conversation, not the most fun atmosphere, but still very nice. I would definitely go back and recommend to others... 4.1/5.0 Team Member 5: I have mixed feelings about my experience at Lemon Grass. My first disclaimer, is that I am pregnant & finding myself very picky with food at this time! That being said, I was disappointed with the Pad Thai, which had a different flavor than I am used to, and too much sauce in my opinion. It was hard for me to stomach, so I ate my husband's pineapple fried rice, which was, on the other hand, very wonderful. Contrary to what some of my teammates have said, I loved the quiet environment. When I walked in, I was comforted by the lack of music and the three tables filled with other customers, in silent contentment with their meals. Overall: 3.9/5.0
