The Lemongrass Blenheim is a Thai and Vietnamese restaurant built for both seated meals and takeaway, with space for about 70 diners at its Maxwell Road location. Owners Bu-nga Krataitong and Nuttavut Rodsienglum describe a style that adapts familiar flavours for local diners while making good use of local ingredients and limited cooking where appropriate. That approach produces a sizeable menu without losing clarity: small plates lead into soups and pho, followed by curries, wok dishes, seafood, noodles and rice.
There is plenty of variety before the main courses arrive. Duck roti offers a richer, layered start, while spring rolls, corn fritters and dumplings provide crisp or savoury bites for the table. Fresh crystal rolls give the selection a lighter counterpoint. Diners wanting something warming can turn to tom kha gai or tom yum, and pho supplies a more complete bowl with its own Vietnamese character. Together, these sections make it easy to build either a quick lunch or a shared opening round.
The curry list reaches well beyond a single house style. Thai red and green curries sit beside peanut rama, while tamarind fish curry brings seafood and a sharper sweet-sour element together. Malaysian chicken and potato curry broadens the regional range, and pork belly or slow beef rib give diners deeper, meatier options. The contrasts in sauce, protein and texture matter when several dishes are ordered for sharing, since each bowl can contribute a noticeably different flavour to the meal.
Wok cooking adds another layer of choice. Very Angry Duck is aimed at diners who want pronounced heat, whereas crispy duck with tamarind combines crunch with a tangy sauce. Fish and other seafood dishes sit alongside noodles and rice, including pad Thai, angry noodles and fried rice. Those sections allow a table to mix saucy curries with drier wok preparations and substantial starches, while the restaurant's dine-in and takeaway formats make the same broad menu useful for both a relaxed group dinner and an evening meal at home.
