The food here is fantastic. The owner is so nice and friendly. The Yellow and Peanut curries are wonderful. You need to call ahead of time and make a reservation. When you call, you tell the owner what everyone wants to eat, so make your menu selections before you pick up the phone. The spice levels are no joke. I would consider myself to have a very high tolerance for heat, and I typically get a level 2 or 2.5. Anything greater is more than I can handle.

This place used to be great 20 years ago. I just visited this last time to go see my daughter and took her there and the pad Thai was horrible. The place looked decrepit and rundown and the owner was now the waiter instead of just being a chef, not a romantic place not a nice place I would avoid it, although I really do like the owner and she’s a sweetheart, but she needs help and this place has seen-its day.

This was my first time here. And although there was only the Cook working, she was very accommodating to make sure we got a delicious meal in a hurry. The drunken noodles were amazing and the pad Thai chicken was also delicious. I’m a fan of pad kee mao and all the veggies. The spice is real here too. So good!

Excellent Thai food. If you want to dine in, call in advance to see if service is available, as this restaurant mainly does takeout. I had spicy noodles with shrimp, “level 1” spice which was just hot enough. Highly recommended!

Fantastic soup and entrees in a warm and friendly environment. We were treated like old friends visiting, creating a personal experience unlike any other. Caution: when they say spice level 3 is hotter than any in town, they mean it!

One of the best curry dishes I’ve had! The food is very authentic and you feel at home. The woman who runs and cooks here is so friendly and feels like family. Very unique experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Best Thai food in town, hands down. My family has eaten here many times both take out and seated…. Always great and portions are large enough for more than one meal

Delicious, fresh, made to order food – at the moment she is mostly set up for take out. Owner says to call first for dining in! (May 2022). Owner was delightful and we enjoyed our food.

Back in the 90s, Lemongrass was head and shoulders above the rest. Today they are still at the front of the pack, with the most flavorful Thai food I’ve ever had. Other places have upped their game, but nobody’s caught them. The veggies with garlic and basil remains the gold standard for me.

The sweetest woman runs this place herself (!!), and the food is top notch. I’ve been coming here for over a decade, and it has always been consistently amazing. Not overly salted, which I like. Prawns are huge, veggies fresh, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. The prices have drastically increased, but look at the state of the world, right? I’d much rather pay more (maybe need to go less often) than have this gem of a Thai restaurant disappear. Oh, and the portion sizes are great! I can often get a lunch sized portion of leftovers out of my meal, which is another reason it’s hard to complain about the prices.
