Convenient for downtown office workers by day and for theatergoers as well as baseball fans at PNC Park by night, The Lemon Grass Cafe is a relaxing spot to dine leisurely on some of the best Southeast Asian food in Pittsburgh. The menu shows flashes of Thai, Cambodian and Chinese cuisine, with the pad thai among the best in the city. Given the restaurant’s name, you’d be remiss not to order lemongrass soup as a starter. Coconut and galangal soup and vegetable spring rolls are other worthy openers. Suggested entrées include green curry chicken with rice noodles, and beef with ginger. Desserts include fried bananas with sesame seeds, lychee with mandarin oranges, and black sweet rice.
No alcohol available. BYOB. Serving lunch Mon–Sat, dinner nightly.
"Inexpensive, enjoyable Cambodian cuisine served in a somewhat refined atmosphere makes this a great spot for a business lunch or quiet dinner."
