I quite enjoyed Pho Lemongrass. I'm not an afficionado of Vietnamese food, but this place was not bad. The ambiance was nice, and the food tasted great to me. I'd recommend them.

Unfortunately, pho is not that easy to find in the Boston area. Pho Lemongrass is not a bad place; its pho is satisfactory, though you can find much better in more authentic places. The restaurant is nicely decorated and pretty large. However, the food could be better and made more flavorful.

Pho Lemongrass would be a good place to go to try Vietnamese food for the first time, but if you are a fan of this cuisine, you can find much better fare in Allston or Chinatown. The dishes are bland and different sauces are indistinguishable from one another. The room is comfortable and the staff accommodating, but the service can be slow and spotty. They do have a liquor license and an decent wine list. Now that they are established here in Brookline, they should turn up the heat a little!

PROS: Comfortable room. Liquor license
CONS: Food is too bland. Service is spotty.
