Lemongrass — Restaurant in Kampot

We dropped in by chance for dinner, and some of our travelling friends walked past and also came to join. The staff made space for us and brought extra chairs. The cocktails were great, and the food was delicious. We ordered spring rolls assuming they’d be vegetable (which seems to be standard) but when they arrived they were meat which for us was a nice surprise and very tasty. But for veggies out there make sure to double check. we stayed for more cocktails after dinner. The atmosphere was chilled and comfortable and we were able to people watch too. The best part was the young staff member who was not only super friendly throughout the entire service, but very honest when we were paying our bill. We said to keep the change as a tip as they deserved it, not realising we’d miscalculated some USD to Reil conversions which meant we left quite quite a lot, she came after us to double check and explain. Being on our travels we were very thankful for this, but still left half for the quality of the service :) - she is a credit to Lemongrass and thank you again for your honesty! Highly recommended this place for...

Overall, it was a really great experience. The restaurant was pleasant to sit in, the staff were friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Khmer Omelet! It looked amazing and was full of flavour. They also give you a decent Iced Coffee. So many places I have been to, the amount of coffee in iced coffee is miniscule but Lemongrass was a really decent coffee and only for $0.50. The only drawbacks to this place is the 45 min wait for food even though theres noone else there and the displays on the table. The table display was a fish in a jar and the fish just didnt have enough space and it was quite sad seeing it just sit there and not even swim all the way...

Sorry guys, this was a failure of its own success. We went there, the place was packed and 2 schoolgirls were the servers.they made it clear they didn't want to be there. They clearly couldn't cope. We had to wait 5 mins for a couple of beers, the cans were cool, the beer was tepid. We had to wait another 5 mins for glasses to arrive. Our neighbours food arrived and he complained the rice was cold. 'Sorry, its all we have' was the reply. I turned to another diner and asked how their food had been. ' very average, nothing great and not worth the wait'. So we left for somewhere better. I'd give it a miss until they can serve hot food with cold beer. That's a minimum...
