I ordered the pork lemon grass and fried egg today. The pork was extremely dry, And to my knowledge you can’t possibly over cook pork like that any person would know it’s wayyyyy over cooked. I personally think they used old meat that was precooked and just heat it up. It’s extremely dry I’m telling you. The worse Vietnamese pork I’ve ever had. Martinez needs better viet restaurants and this ain’t it.

Lemongrass Bistro

Thai food. I love Thai food in general, but after awhile, most places seem to taste the same. Especially of note are Thai joints local to my area. Theyre good, but it always seems like there a little something lacking. Even a spot like Tuk Tuk Thai can only be deemed decent by moi. And Im not bagging on these places or anything... but can Thai food really be better? The fact that Lemongrass Bistro is around gives me the answer Im looking for: a resounding YES.This is one of those places that can truly be called a hidden gem. I am not in Martinez all that often... at all, really. A friend of mine suggested it when we were oh so hungry one fateful Sunday afternoon. We walked up and down Main St., looking for something good and unique. We settled on this joint. I immediately enjoyed the environs: chill music, simple yet stylish decor, and a very relaxed atmosphere in general. We took a window table, so we had a nice view of the outside (Main St. looks awesome, by the way.)Our waiter promptly brought out our menus and some waters as well. Browsing over the menu, I could see that this wasnt a straight up Thai place. Still, many of the dishes seemed to have a strong Thai influence, so it felt like Thai food to me. Apologies if that makes me sound ignorant. At any rate, we decided to order the appetizer sampler platter, mango chicken, and the grilled beef. Literally just a few minutes later, out came the appetizers. Appetizers were awesome: lumpia, avocado spring rolls, and chicken satay. So good and exactly enough for 2 to share. Heck, Itd make a great stand-alone meal if one so desired. Came with a spicy sauce and a peanut sauce. Unlike most Thai places, this peanut sauce was less thick and sweet. Thats definitely a good thing. A few mere minutes more, and out came our main dishes. HUGE portions, let me tell you. We shared our dishes and we still got nice and satisfied. The mango chicken was flavorful and juicy. The grilled beef was extremely tender and juicy as well. The food was excellent overall.I am now definitely a big fan of Lemongrass Bistro. I will be sure to return... as I also need to hit up that wine bar thats inside. Did I forget to mention that? Awesome awesome spot. DO hit this place up, for sure.

They have an oyster bar, Vietnamese restaurant, and a cafe with gelato, cookies, and cookie dough. Theres a pizza place opening up soon and the market was clean, played good music, and wasnt too busy.
