    This is my second time coming to restaurant and the food is delicious and the service was amazing! We got the chicken skewers, edamame, and shrimp rolls for apps. For the entree we got ramen, noodles, and pad Thai. The service was really fast and the staff was amazing! I would definitely recommend.

    My friends and I (party of 5) had such a great experience here! The drinks were one of my favorite parts, they come served in either a pineapple or a watermelon , and as a pineapple lover, I was obsessed! I also ordered the rice and seafood mix served inside a pineapple, and it was absolutely delicious. If you love seafood, this place has tons of great options, but they also offer wings and plenty of non-seafood dishes, so there’s something for everyone. The service was amazing, our waiter was super attentive, friendly, and really made sure we were taken care of. The decor is phenomenal! The whole place is beautiful, and with the holiday decorations it looked extra cute, perfect for photos, date nights, or a fun outing with friends or family. The space is a little narrow, but it honestly didn’t bother me much because everything was so clean (even the bathrooms!). For a group of 5, our total was around $520 including tip. We each ordered an appetizer, a main dish, and a fruit-served drink, plus we all got a second drink . With the quality, presentation, and overall experience, I can’t complain at all, I loved it! definitely make reservations ahead! Definitely recommend!

    This place is so cute! They really did it up with the holiday decorations, it’s festive both inside & out. Service is warm and helpful, the drinks are pretty AND delish, and the food is excellent from start to finish.

    Everything was great and tasted fresh. I ordered the udon noodles with beef, extra spicy, and the dish was excellent. You can really tell how fresh the noodles taste!! We also ordered the fried banana and chocolate lava cake for dessert, and everything was awesome. Our entrees and desserts exceeded our expectations!!

    Food is amazing! I had the pineapple fried rice, crab Rangoons, and udon noodles. It all came out really quick and super fresh. The service at the restaurant was also amazing. The dessert options were also so great, all in all this restaurant is really great.

    The food and décor here are truly top-notch, and this has become one of our regular spots to dine in. The only concern we consistently experience is the service flow. The staff often begin clearing plates or removing items from the table while we’re still eating or in the middle of a conversation, which disrupts the overall dining experience. I understand the space is small, but a bit more awareness and training around timing and table etiquette would make a big difference. That being said, their dishes—from the spicy basil fried rice to the udon noodles—are delicious, and the drinks are great as well, though the cocktails do feel slightly overpriced compared to the taste. Overall, a lovely place with excellent food, just in need of a little refinement in service.

    Came here for my best friend’s birthday dinner and it couldn’t have been a better experience! I made a reservation ahead of time since they’re usually busy definitely recommend doing the same. The ambience is beautiful: cozy lighting, lots of flowers, and such warm, welcoming vibes. The staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive the entire evening. We started with two cocktails the Piña Colada served in a pineapple and the Tong Rumpai. Both drinks were strong, refreshing, and beautifully presented with tropical fruit and orchids. For appetizers, we ordered the Crab Rangoon and Curry Puffs, and they were both absolutely delicious. Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and well-seasoned. For our entrées, we shared the Chicken Fried Rice served in a pineapple and the Pad See Ew with shrimp both dishes were flavorful and satisfying, with generous portions and beautiful presentation. To finish the night, we had the Mango Sticky Rice, which they surprised us with a little birthday candle and a sweet song for my best friend. I hadn’t even requested that they just noticed the note on my reservation. Such a thoughtful gesture that made the evening extra special! Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommend Lemongrass for any occasion date nights, birthdays, or just a cozy dinner with great Thai food and vibrant vibes. I’ll definitely be back again!
