lemongrass sushi & wok

my daughter's favorite sushi in town...and my favorite kung pao. this is one of our favorite places to eat in town. it is always my 10 year old daughter's first choice. she is a sushi lover and their sushi is by far her favorite. she gets theamarilloroll which includes steak (of course, being anamarilloroll) and cucumber (she adds avocado and likes to get extra teriyaki on the side). my wife's favorite is either the tootsie roll with tempura salmon and cream cheese or the sushi lovers which is a whole tempura roll with salmon and cucumber).

i discovered their kung pao beef my first visit there and haven't been able to move off of it yet. it is my favorite in the city. it has a very unique sauce and the beef is perfect for kung pao.

the owners lee and lacy always make you feel welcome and if you are lucky you will get to meet their young daughter, katie. she is adorable and a highlight of a visit to lemongrass.

the atmosphere is elegant and quiet. a great place to eat if you want to be able to visit and hear each other. they have really done everything right.

went here for my birthday dinner with the family. veggie stir fry was great.

egg drop soup was too thick and not very fresh tasting.

sushi(spicy salmon) : i prefer the sauces on the side because i typically enjoy the taste of plain sushi. it was average at best, as you seen by the rating. salmon was a little chewy, rice was cooked perfectly, and the kyle wrap wasn't very flavorful. however, it tasted fresh and it was good...

suggestions:

1. the layout of the tables is not very inviting or open. environment should feel a bit more contemporary with more artificial lighting and lighter colors with less booth seating and additional open tables.

2. i strongly believe the taste of your dishes could be enhanced by the quality of your water. placing a water filter and/or changing that filter often can help reduce the taste ofamarillocity water.

when walking into this resturaunt the first thing you see is a big menu of what they serve and then there's a big sushi like buffet, and you can also see the sushi chef and chef cooking food if you'd like, the customer service was good overall, we ordered the crab rangoon to start off and that was really good, then ordered the honey lemon chicken with white rice, also ordered theamarilloroll and the california roll, theamarillowas very good, the cali roll was decent, and the entree was delicious, price was good for what we ordered.

at the risk of overcrowding our favorite spot we must offer up that we live an hour fromamarilloand make the trip a couple times a week just to enjoy it. 4 stars.
