Walked in for a quick bite without a reservation and was seated. Cute design and yummy food, would come here again.

Terrific lunch at Ginger & Lemongrass on the LES. We started with the roast pork buns. Two of us had the vermicelli bowls (one lemongrass chicken; the other with pork belly). My other friend had their curry. The food was great! The restaurant is a beautiful space and the service is terrific. They also have a very interesting cocktail menu. We will definitely be back!

Stopped by for lunch and really enjoyed my experience! Service was fast and efficient. Initially thought I would be dining solo due to some plans that fell through, but the staff were very accommodating when I asked to add another person to my party halfway through my meal. Their iced coffee was so delicious. I ordered the green curry, which probably could have benefited from some extra salt, but overall pretty good. My friend ordered the coconut lemongrass soup and I immediately regretted my order. The soup had incredible depth of flavor, I wanted more even though I was full from my food. The infused water was an unexpected but fun touch!

*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

This place is amazing!! At 8 on a Friday night we were quoted a 45 min wait for 6 people. So we went to a bar and then was called 20 min later to come back, we could make it back later then they wanted us to but were very accommodating. The moment we sat down we were given water, I love that. And it's special water infused with mint and fruit! The waitress even asked if we had any allergies. The space is small but there are two bathrooms in the back and the whole restaraunt is decorated very nicely. There is a giant Buddha statue sitting on the bar. It's so cute inside and very relaxing. The food was amazing. I got the salmon roll, and split it with my husband's chicken sandwich. The salmon roll was good. Green tea noodles didn't taste like anything different from regular noodles but it was cool to try. The chicken sandwich had good flavor, we got it mild but it was still a bit spicy. Portions are a good size and the prices are super affordable. It was about $15 for the sandwich. And $13 for cocktails. $15 for pho. Very large portions for the prices and quality of food is high. The ube cheesecake was delicious and had fresh dragonfruit and blueberries on top. Great consistency, sweet but not too sweet and I tasted the ube. I got the cocktail with Pandan in it and it was delicious. I loved it. It was so pretty and had edible flowers on it as well. They even have a cocktail with boba! Everyone loved their food and drinks. It was about $35 a person for us which was really good price for NYC. The tip is included for a party of 6 but we were totally okay with that. Wait service was so nice and attentive and refilled our water. I would definitely come again if I am in the area.
