Ginger and Lemongrass

Very delicious! The savory mini pancakes with mushrooms were a star. Really liked them and I think they’re gluten free (didn’t verify). The vegetable pho is great because it comes with tofu and there’s lots of bok choi, peas, and mushrooms. I love the fibre boost. And you can get it with any broth (I liked beef > chicken). It’s a great spot for gluten free friendly food. Good prices for pho. One appetizer and 2 mains came to $42 - very reasonable prices.

*sigh* Just the thought of this place warms my complete soul. This place is absolutely incredible. Located in the heart of Lower East Side (luckily walking distance to me), Ginger and Lemongrass is what I crave when I'm extremely exhausted after a long flight, on a cold winter day, when I'm feeling a bit under the weather OR just when I want a truly home cooked meal that is FULL of flavor and fresh ingredients. As a celiac (gluten-free) customer, it's amazing to know that they're menu is pretty much (~90%) gluten free and they're happy to make accommodations to ensure it's safe for me. My continuous go to's: - Shrimp summer rolls: 10/10 SO GOOD. So fresh, so delicious and always a hit. - Sweet & Spicy Chicken wings (NOT gluten free, avoid if you are GF): overall very good and flavorful! - Coconut Spicy Lemongrass with 5 star beef brisket: 1000/10. Do yourself a favor and just order this if you want a warming full of flavor pho dish. It's served with rice noodles, jalapeños, chili oil sauces and much more. The beef brisket is INCREDIBLE and the only meat you should get with this soup. It's so tender and just adds so much flavor to the soup. - Bone Marrow: SO JUICY and worth it for $5. HIGHLY recommend and the staff always goes above and beyond. Quick tip if you live near-by, ditch the DoorDash/UberEats fees and call them directly to deliver your order to save yourself some money ◡̈
