The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. The cozy vibe and delicious food combine to make an experience worth cherishing. I highly recommend Lemon Tree Café if you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love authentic Vietnamese food, Lemon Tree Café is a must-try! Their pho is comforting and just what you need on a chilly day in Juneau. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes. It’s a small cafe, but you can feel the love in every dish. Don't skip their spicy tofu rice dish; it's packed with flavor and love! I'll make sure to visit again during my next Alaska adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took a leap of faith visiting Lemon Tree Café based on its reviews. So glad I did! The menu is not extensive, but the quality of the food makes up for it. I ordered dumplings and the Old Friend soup. Everything was bursting with flavor. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, perfect for a date or catching up with friends. I will definitely return for another amazing meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lemon Tree Café is by far my favorite restaurant in Juneau! The food is authentic Vietnamese and is always served fresh and hot. The service is wonderful, and I appreciate how the owner interacts with the guests. I had their steamed bun and soup combo, and it was delicious! You can tell they take pride in what they serve. I will definitely return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Lemon Tree Café with high expectations based on the reviews, but I left feeling quite average about the food. The pho was okay, but I have had better. The staff were friendly, but it took a long time for the food to arrive. The restaurant has a great ambiance, and the location is nice, but I just didn’t feel the 'wow' factor with the food itself. It’s a cozy spot, but I’m not sure I’d rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The portions were more than enough for the price. The chicken hometown mystery was incredible; it held a depth of flavor that I liked a lot. Everything was fresh, and you could tell they put effort into every dish. The only downside was that it could get crowded—arrive early, especially around dinner time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lemon Tree Café was a delightful surprise! We tried the dumplings and pho, followed by their dessert. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The space is small, but it has a great atmosphere. I appreciated that the owner's attention and hospitality made it truly special. Definitely would recommend this place to others exploring Juneau! " (*Curated Review*)
