There are several stops on Dunbar St in Spartanburg that I really like including The Lemongrass Kitchen, which friends and locals have been telling me to get to.

This dreamy rice noodle salad is a winning lunch with its perfectly seasoned shrimp, shredded veg, fresh herb, peanut topper and sliced egg rolls. Pour the fish sauce vinegarette over top and stir to create a flavor bomb you’ll soon want to share… and post… and send others to experience.

It’s a #BucketDish for sure when you order a bubble tea alongside. I really think their bubble tea may be the best I’ve had outside of NYC. The kiwi one had the perfect consistency, made with fresh kiwi (and the bubbles were completely gummy).

There’s always a fresh and delicious meal to be had in Downtown Spartanburg. Can’t believe how legit the dining scene is becoming in the sister cities of SPG & GVL.
