Lemon Grass Lao and Thai Cuisine

Lemon Grass is my absolute Number 1 favorite restaurant in Des Moines.  We eat there at least once a week!  The entrees feature lots of stir-fried veggies, and sensible portions of lean meat.

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
The dining area is small but very tastefully decorated.  There is also outside seating, which we take advantage of when the weather cooperates.
 
 
 
 
 
 


The appetizers are so good, sometimes that's all we order!  They are always out of the kitchen in a flash.  My favorite is the pork eggrolls.  They're so crunchy-crispy, yet still just about melt in your mouth.
 







Non-soggy potstickers, YAY!

Jeffrey and I both like these!

Lemon Grass is located at 1221 8th Street, West Des Moines, Iowa.  They are closed on Mondays.  I also should note that portions are very generous, and reasonably priced.
