Lemongrass has a beautiful interior that’s super clean and comes with great and friendly service. However, I wasn’t too impressed by the two dishes I tried. The peanut “prawns” were ok, but were almost certainly regular shrimp and not actually prawns. Taste and appearance was definitely more of a regular shrimp, but the sauce wasn’t bad. And the beef Pad Thai was remarkably average at best – it was a good spice level but had a thick film of oil it seemed like. The dish was super saturated in what I believe was a thick pile of vegetable oil. Usually Pad Thai isn’t so thickly coated throughout in cooking oil. I took a pic for the review to show what it looked like gathering in the corner of the plate.

Reconnected with an old friend from high school. He picked the BEST place. He was doing a Vegan diet for the month and he had a plethora of options. Everything came out perfect.

Consistency is the key. Lemongrass doesn’t let you down. What appears to be an older building from the outside is a hidden gem filled with amazing food.

This place was my go-to Thai place before the pandemic, but this most recent visit made me rethink that. The food was marginal, and the service was subpar. The fresh spring rolls, which I usually love, were tasteless – mainly noodles with few fresh ingredients. The Pad Thai, which is usually a reliable dish, was an odd dark-brown color rather than the usual “orange” and didn’t taste like Pad Thai. It was okay, but it was not Pad Thai. The service was hit and miss – luckily, the tables are so close together (which is not actually lucky for ambiance) that I was able to grab them to help us when necessary. Also, the prices have gone up – I don’t think I saw any entree under $18. I guess it’s time to look for a new Thai restaurant…

Excited to try a new local Thai restaurant based on reviews, was very disappointed by the food. We ordered 2 pad thai orders and a sweet and sour chicken. The total was $60 and I wish I had just saved the money. The pad thai was flavorless. It appeared like it had alot of sauce, but it tasted like water was added to the sauce. I didn’t finish mine because it had zero flavor. The sweet and sour chicken sauce was good, however it was soggy and the breading slid right off. Most of the chicken was over cooked and hard to bite into. Basically, the food was inedible and a huge let down.

Wishing they had more curry options. Food was good nonetheless. On the pricey side (nearly $19 for curry) and service was okay. There were often dirty tables left around.
