We were just passing through Charlottesville and had a craving for some Thai food. We stopped at Lemongrass and had some of the best Thai food we have ever had! I had the mango curry. The waitress was so polite and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

The woman who was serving is really nice. I ordered Shrimp Drunken Noodles. She mistakenly served chicken one. When I informed that they immediately changed it. Also offered the previous drunken noodles for free.

A weekly stop for me! Unbelievably delicious food, service is very kind and sometimes takes a bit but they do everything themselves and are always non stop working hard. I recommend everyone I know to come try the best Thai food in town!

nice place if you would like some Japanese food but your friends want to eat Thai food. Recommend Godzilla Roll, pineapple fried rice, and salmon donburi. I tried their pad Thai once and it was a little bit dry, maybe it’s just a onetime thing.

I ordered a meal with two dishes for take out and, according to my order confirmation page, it was canceled ten minutes later. I tried calling to verify whether or not it truly was canceled and whether or not my card would be charged but no one answered, even after calling three times. I usually like this place but I feel that the service has declined a good amount.

I wanted to like this place because of the convenient location and great prices, but it is not vegetarian friendly and does not do a good job of accommodating nut allergies. All dishes with fried tofu are fried in peanut oil, or oil with peanuts in it (this was unclear by the chef). The most popular noodle dish, the Pad Ke Mow or Drunken Noodle is made with oyster sauce, so it’s not vegetarian. The first time I came I asked to substitute fried egg for the peanut oil-fried tofu, but this substitution was not welcomed. The chef commented that traditional Thai food had peanut—which I understand, however I felt there was little done to be mindful of common peanut allergies for US audiences. Service is also very slow, when I went in today the chef was setting tables and taking orders, indicating an understaffing issue.

UPDATE: unsure how my experience could be so divergent, but this went from a tentative 3 star to a strong 5 star. I think I underappreciated the fusion, the ability to get such a diversity of cuisine at quality level, something that I’ve come to appreciate much more as I’ve acquainted myself with the Japanese and Thai cuisines individually. I certainly underappreciated the prices, crazy cheap sushi and highly affordable main plates across the board. This place is great and I was so wrong to avoid them for so long. Come and experience the magic that is the avocado roll, or the mango curry, you won’t regret it.

My family of 4 really enjoyed our lunch at the Lemongrass today. Like everywhere else, this place was also short staffed. But our server was so kind even when she was clearly swamped with orders. (She was the only one on the floor) We have eaten lots of thai food and sushi from many different restaurants all over the country and this place was was solid. Sushi was fresh with good rice to other ingredient ratio. Thai entrees were well seasoned and flavorful. We ordered mild for all the entrees since we have young children and had no problem with spice level.
