Lemongrass has been a lifesaver for me during the pandemic. The warm and comforting Vietnamese food has gotten me through the lock down and I have consistently been impressed by the freshness of the veggies and ingredients used in their dishes. You wonder what is this great Vietnamese restaurant doing in this small town in chino. If the late, great food critic Jonathan Gold were still alive and had a chance to try this place, I have no doubt that he would love it. The flavors are bold and authentic, and you can always count on authentic punchy flavors. My only complaint about Lemongrass is that their logo and branding could be updated. The old avatar font feels a bit dated and doesn't match...
I picked up Bun Bo Hue and Banh Xeo. Bun Bo Hue was good. I wish the flavor of the broth was slightly stronger. Maybe because it's a fusion restaurant and too strong flavor might not be enjoyable for other people? Either way it was good. I killed mine. Banh Xeo was unfortunately burnt I couldn't eat it: but the restaurant offered a refund or free Banh Xeo next time I go so I'm glad they take care of their customers. Definitely will be going back. And they also had a $1 taco special today dammit! . I'm happy I found a good spot by the pad!
During our stay in the area, we decided to order takeout from this restaurant, and we were glad we did. We sampled the Ruckster Tacos, Pork Banh Mi, Egg Rolls, and Che Be Mau. Our favorites were definitely the Ruckster Tacos, which were bursting with flavor and offered a unique twist that we haven't encountered anywhere else, along with the Che Be Mau. We highly recommend you try both if you visit!
After our hike, we decided to give this place a shot. The restaurant is very clean, and we noticed the owners sitting nearby, working on their laptops while watching a football game. The food was decent, but it doesn’t quite measure up to what we’ve had in Orange County or Diamond Bar. We do enjoy trying new things, though. The service was good; the owners even thanked us for coming.

I come here very often for lunch cause it’s close to work. Has great food with excellent service. Pretty much everything on their menu is great. Their bun Bo hue is absolutely the best; soup is tasty with lots of meat. My all time favorite is their spicy shrimp fried rice; level 5 will quench your spicy fix.
All the dishes we ordered were salty except for the summer rolls. Coffee was mediocre. Service was good but doesn't substitute for taste and flavor. Really wanted to give a better rating as there's not a lot of good Asian food in the area, but i need to be honest with my reviews.
The food here is fantastic, and the service is excellent. It's one of my favorite spots in Chino Hills. You definitely have to try the Com Bo Luc Lac, the Spicy Salt Chicken Wings, and the Bun Bo Hue. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it!
Bun bo hue was excellent. We liked that the spicy sauce was on the side, so the soup was mild and you can customize spice level. We also liked that veggies were served on the side.
