Executive chef Krairit Kralravee's menu offers a modern interpretation of Thai cuisine, including a spicy papaya salad and wok-tossed live Maine lobster infused with hints of ginger and scallion. They ordered all vegetarian dishes which is surprising considering that Derek is a carnivore for those who have been following their YouTube vlogs. Lemongrass offers a modern interpretation of Thai cuisine and features a bar and lounge, and two private dining rooms. Crystal Cove Shake Shack - Newport Coast All You Can Vegas just posted a video review of Lemongrass.And it had nothing to do with the fact that this meal was essentially free! I would even say this particular experience was BETTER than the last time I ate all the usual Issan favorites at Lotus of Siam, Vegas's highly lauded Thai restaurant. The pad see ew was textbook, with the gailan crisp, the meat velvety, and the noodles absorbing not only the sweet soy seasonings but the "breath" of the wok.Īnd there was a crab omelette that had so much crab meat, every bite was like discovering a trove of buried treasure.īest of all was the chicken larb, which was so spicy, so funky, so well-constructed of fish sauce, rice powder, lime, and tons of chilies, that it made me question my entire way of thinking: Asian restaurants inside casinos CAN BE good! The pineapple fried rice we ordered was light enough on the curry powder that it left a good impression rather an overpowering one. However, I'm glad to report that Lemongrass did not suck. So Lemongrass it was, because even in a high-priced Vegas casino like Aria, Asian food is always cheaper than the next alternative. And it was going to cost me twice as much as what I'd usually pay at an actual Thai or Chinese joint.īut when you're given hotel credit to be spent on food and your choice of where to spend it includes restaurants from Michelin and James Beard-award winning chefs, you have to settle on what will stretch your money the farthest. Past experiences with other Asian restaurants inside other casinos told me I was in for yet another ham-fisted attempt at Thai, Chinese, or a combination of the two. It is, after all, an Asian restaurant inside a casino. I thought I knew what to expect at Lemongrass.
