This was my second time dining in we sat on the Lemongrass side, Making reservations was extremely easy made a phone call and was assisted whoever answered was so nice and I received text updates leading up to my reservation date. Dinner was absolutely delicious I highly recommend the Thai fried rice, the wings and the rock shrimp, everything came out hot and very flavorful. The lychee martini is one of my favorites.
Our server was very attentive!! Definitely a go to spot

Not the best nite. I reserved a table for 4 to celebrate a birthday. Hostesses were great. Our waiter was not. Long waits for him to take care of us, and not very personable either. I'd tasted the King Crab fried rice ($30!) once before with the birthday guy, and it blew our minds; so delicious. So I highly recommended it for the table to share. It was terrible! As a chef myself, I realized that the chef/cook forgot to 'season' the fried rice. No soy sauce, no fish sauce, no seasoning at all. So disappointing. I ordered the orange peel chicken for myself. Another disappointment. The plate arrived with a mound of orange'ish, glistening chicken nuggets surrounded by broccoli florets all around; not the most creative presentation, but not a big issue. But..., the chicken nuggets were hard as rocks, obviously spent too much time in the fryer. The glaze was good, but the chicken, way too chewy, and the broccoli florets, barely cooked and cold. WOW. As our waiter was clearing the table, I quietly mentioned that he should let the head chef know about the unseasoned king crab fried rice. He replied 'if you'd let me know in the beginning, we could' ve fixed that for you'. He then disappeared, never to seen again! We had to go and ask one of the hostesses for the check which btw included the fried rice (not comp'd) and at full price, $30. Not the best nite.

We were hungry and in a new area. New center
A couple of choices for restaurants. We lemongrass and it really good. Glad we came in and give it a try. Really nice clean place. Our server is very nice and polite. I had tofu and eggplant very good plate. Lots of vegetables

Diner Review №4

Things have changed and I'm not sure if I can recommend this place anymore. It's too risky anymore to spend all this money and not know if you're going to be getting an outstanding meal as before I always knew I was getting a good meal before they started experimenting but now I don't want to stand a chance on wasting my money.

Diner Review №5

The restaurant is nice and clean. The food is good. The service could be better. There was a wait time of 50 minutes to get our food from the time we got there, until the time we were served.

Diner Review №6

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place last minute Sunday night. The hosts were friendly, our server (Kat) was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations, the food was prepared quickly despite full restaurant.
The portions were very generous and the food was fabulous! The restaurant was clean, modern, and decorated for Lunar New Year. 🧧
Can’t wait to go back.

Diner Review №7

Pad Ta Lay is a no-no. Scallops are squishy, which means they're bad after being unfrozen. Shrimp barely turned orange, which means it's not cooked. Turned the dish in, and it came back the same. Took it home to cook, and my body won't digest it, so this definitely tells me that it's no good! Threw up twice.

Let's not forget the fact that my son's red snapper came out almost 40 minutes after ordering it. For a Friday, it's sad...

Will only go back for the drinks, definitely not touching the food. We've actually been here twice before, and the two other times we've had issues as well. Poorly managed location.

Thank you Christina T. The food was excellent. We were here about 2 years ago and were pleasantly surprised by the expansion.

Diner Review №14

Got the garlic and ginger chicken meal and was so delicious. Beautiful place to bring your wife or girlfriend to enjoy a delicious dinner together.

Diner Review №15

Amazing food, really good quality and delicious.

Diner Review №16

This has been one of our favorite restaurants in Hemet. They have expanded, and the atmosphere is beautiful. However, they also raised their prices. That has made it difficult for us to visit as often as we did previously. Really good Asian fusion food.

Diner Review №18

Here we go again; excessive greed !! This resturant is very popular, and is now taking advantage of that. The food is very good and service is good, but not as good as the prices reflect. This is why I
am giving a lower score; greed !!! They started out with good food and reasonable prices, but then the greed came in. I know that prices of everything have gone up; even though the government says different, but they haven't gone up as much as the menu prices reflect. You can get better Asian food selections at many casinos and other area restaurants that are as good or better than this resturant, and at more reasonable prices. You are good, but not that good. Greed closed many restaurants better than yours; be careful !!!

Diner Review №19

Great food!

Diner Review №20

Worst THAI food I’ve had!!!!!
This restaurant should just serve Vietnamese food, not THAI.

Diner Review №21

Food is ok. Pho usually good. Last time PHA came Luke warm and chicken soooo overcooked could barely chew it. Bench had so much hair and stains on it, we asked to move tables. Needed water and server never came back even once to check on us.

Diner Review №22

Best place for Thai food!!! The drunken noodles 🤩, yellow curry, pho, pork spring rolls, I can literally go on n on.

Diner Review №23

Group from work went last night and was amazed by the food, service, and atmosphere. Our server, Aidan was attentive, made suggestions and had a good sense of humor. Lemongrass moved to the top of our list of afterwork hangouts.

Diner Review №24

This place is Amazing!! Wonderful staff and Great Food!?

Diner Review №25

This was our first time here. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing ! Will definitely be returning soon.

Diner Review №26

Andre best waiter in the joint. Tip heavy

Diner Review №27

Pad Thai for life!!!!!

Diner Review №28

Wow! By far the best restaurant we’ve been to in Hemet. Restaurant was recently remodeled and looks clean and modern. Stopped by for a few cocktails and was pleasantly surprised by everything to be honest. The drinks, the service, the ambiance were all awesome. Perfect spot for date night. We will be back!

Diner Review №29

Too loud for me.
I switched to takeout and left.
Stop the 3.5% surcharge.
It's really annoying.
There is no cash discount, just a lack of excessive fees for using a credit card.

Diner Review №30

Been coming here for years! Not as friendly as before, asking for things seems to be an inconvenience and they aren't even busy. I would hate to experience what it's like when they have a full house. The girl that runs the show has always been friendly and attentive, but these new girls need training. (Luisa) you don't need to speak words to let someone know you're bothered the service speaks for itself.

The service was great and the food was delicious. I will definitely be going back soon.

Diner Review №34

Server was not attentive. We asked that one of the waters had limes in it he didn't bring limes he brought lemons. Didn't come back to check if. food was all righ. He showed up after we started eating they had to take my sister's food back because he failed to tell us that the teriyaki was very spicy he disappeared for the first half of the meal and then he was around. On the menu they said we could substitute brown rice or fried rice for the jasmine rice my sister substituted the fried rice but yet we were charged $3 for it.
Also the 3% charge for using a credit card their prices are more than high enough that they should be able to absorb that charge. The person that delivered our food was very very gracious she took my sister's meal back because it was spicy and we don't like spicy food.

Diner Review №36

Beautiful place and nice atmosphere but I wouldn’t recommend the lemon chicken plate or the egg roles. Chicken was dry & bland, the egg roles kinda had a weird sweet taste in them & the lettuce was kinda old. A very “mid” meal

Diner Review №37

Not my kind of food

Diner Review №38

Tarda en tomar la orden aun mas en servirla, pero buena comida

Diner Review №39

This place is hoppin. Ate here 9/2/24. Noonish meal, had the pork and shrimp Spring rolls. Very tasty peanut sauce, enough shrimp, though there could be a tad more added and they’d be even better. The 4 stars because there was enough grit in the shredded greens for me to take notice. Manager please have staff wash the greens that go in these spring rolls, better. Been here before and will definitely return. Sticky rice was just right.

Diner Review №40

Beautiful restaurant with excellent food, ambiance, and service.

Diner Review №41

The lunch we had was so-so. I've had better for less $. Very loud inside.

Diner Review №42

What a fantastic find! The service was excellent. Warm, inviting atmosphere. The food was wonderful, and the portions were huge.

Diner Review №43

La comida está muy buena se las recomiendo, pero la actitud de la mesera no me gustó no nos atiendo y pienso que todas las personas somos iguales

Diner Review №44

Great little spot in hemet. Atmosphere was great. Salt and pepper wings cooked to perfection. Service was great. Place was super clean.

Diner Review №45

Been going here for years. Used to be the best Pho hands down. Always consistently delicious. Unfortunately like many other restaurants that try to expand they spend too much on decorations, pump loud music and cut way back on the quality of food. Been there twice since they expended and both times I said never again. The broth for the pho has literally no taste and greasy. Can't eat it. Might as well open a can of soup for way less money and better tasting. They must have gotten rid of the chef. Where is the flavor? No herbs. Absolutely none. Just boiled water with grease. Threw it out. Very dissapointed. This time for sure..never again!

Diner Review №46

Hostess was kind and gave us options. Full seating expands after 3pm if sitting in a booth matters to you. There were tables available. We sat at the bar. Drinks were great! Unique & full of subtleties in flavor with the cocktails we had. The bartender we had was kind, helpful, funny, knowledgeable and everything you'd want in a bartender. Food was excellent! From the fresh egg rolls to the sauce, my orange chicken, his Thai noodles and down to the mint & lemon details in our water - everything was fresh, tasty, and the portions were hearty!
I didn't look at the dessert menu. Oh, I wanted to. I really liked the quality of the build inside. The cherry blossom tree pops the decor to the black tables/bar top. Chairs at the bar were comfortably & not wobbly!
I was pleasantly surprised by this place.

Diner Review №52

I randomly went tonight around 6ish- 7ish (our receipt says 7:11 pm)because my man surprised me to seafood (we didn’t know it would be fancy so we looked ghetto) BUT ITS SO PRETTY INSIDE !!! It’s so clean!!! my man and I experienced amazing customer service (our receipt says her name was Kristal, she had short black hair) she made this experience an 11/10 for us and we will definitely be back. The food was good. It was super fresh and good dessert. Kristal is an amazing employee to have for the team ! She checked up on us, got us everything we needed, upselling with desserts, and refilled our drinks. Thank you Kristal we will be back !

Very nice establishment delicious food and good service. Highly recommend for a date night or just to have a good meal.

Diner Review №55

Altho I had to wait 40 minutes for my one own take out order, the food was tasty and healthy portion. It seemed to be a popular dinner location for this town.

Diner Review №56

First I want to say we have been eating here for years & have always loved the food & service. Today we bought our friends there for their first time. Two of us order Pad Thai & we both requested it be hot / level 4. When we got it, it was just plain mild without any heat, I tried to tell our waitress it had zero heat level instead of a L4 right away & she just said it was supposed to be sweet. I tried telling her that I had eaten it there many times before & this time it just didn't taste right.
She just looked at us & said it was supposed to be sweet & then she walked away & didn't say a word. Very rude!
Our friends will not be coming back.

Diner Review №57

Asian and Cajun under one roof!!! Looooove this idea. As a household of many different palates, I can say that the whole family was satisfied. My husband has been wanting to eat at a place where they do seafood boils but I unfortunately cannot handle spicy. We dined here on a Sunday between 5 and 6 pm and we're seated right away. My husband and two kids are spicy flavors people; they had a combo of the seafood boil that filled them up and still had some leftovers. Myself and one kid are more partial to non-spicy options; I had the Beef Teriyaki plate and our kid had the non-spicy snow crab legs. Eating here filled all of our stomachs with delicious meals. Great service, great food, and thank you for making this a wonderful experience.

Diner Review №58

Service is slow. Came here during lunch so time is restricted.
Iced tea is watery.
No hostess to greet and sit people when they come in.

Diner Review №59

New renovation is awesome. It feels like a different restaurant. I actually thought I walked into the wrong place. Same wonderful food and excellent service with a upgraded atmosphere.

Diner Review №60

Love this place. I absolutely love the upgrades. It's one of my favorite spots in Hemet. Food is great and atmosphere even better.

Diner Review №61

The first time there great stuff and good food

Diner Review №62

The quality of the seafood for the market price is unacceptable poor quality and charge way too much, alcoholic beverages are way too much money,very unreasonable price's and not alot a Bang for the Buck.

Diner Review №63

Great food service clean and very hospitable

Diner Review №64

The food was delicious. The service excellent. The atmosphere beautiful. But I don't like the added price of 3.5%. It's like a hidden fee though it's in very small print on the bottom of the menu. Still, I recommend eating here. Spicy Lemongrass Noodles and Cashew Stir Fry.

Diner Review №65

Great new place in West Hemet!! Nice decor, nice bar, TV's.

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

The Lemongrass wings are decent. I smacked a whole plate by myself. Waitress did their job. Music in restraunt was a bit loud for me but the jams were dope so its all good. 4 stars all day

Go for the desert!
This is the purple yam cheesecake.
Perfectly Beautiful!
We sat on the seafood bucket side that is decorated with beautiful sea lighting,great Octopus pieces.
You can order both lemon grass & sea food on this side.
I would like to see the "sea paper" removed if ordering lemon grass and a glass as an option instead of the to go style drink cup.
Server was Fantastic all around.
Will go back!

Diner Review №73

Portions are smaller than before, same taste. My spicy Thai rice was not spicy and I asked for the spiciest.

Diner Review №74

The food is freshly prepared and delicious, the server could have been more attentive, it was a little too noisy in there

Diner Review №75

The food was excellent. We had take out but there are outside tables. They were very busy and it took 45 minutes to get our food. They have a new menu.

Diner Review №76

The first waitress had a phone on her that was ringing very loudly while she was taking our order
Then when it came it was wrong so we sent it back and she had it fixed.

Diner Review №77

Great quiet place. The food is always fantastic and service is quick and polite.

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

If you’re coming here to try their new Seafood Boil on the other side, be prepared to taste mid food. $18.99 per pound for some alright tasting seafood. I’ve had many seafood boil places like the Blazin Crab, that are wayyy better & cheaper.. You can get great tasting shrimp for a better price elsewhere.

Lemon Grass in general has really good food, but their seafood boil side is really lacking. Service & everything else is good, I just can’t get over the fact that I wasted money on some
not so special seafood boil. Maybe if they added more seasoning it would be better. Also, heads up they charge you a 3.5% surcharge for using your card, “to promote using cash”

Diner Review №80

Diner Review №81

Sub par food for price, quickly prepared.

Diner Review №82

Place has really turned into a gem! Great food, clean, attentive staff, and beautiful atmosphere. They also have crab boils and fried fish after 3. I highly recommend 👌🏽

Diner Review №83

Good thai food and Pho.

Diner Review №84

The restaurant is recently expanded and upgraded, it looks amazing. The food is still as delicious as it was in the past, sadly the service is also the same as it was in the past: slow. If you are looking for a quick meal, this is not the place.

Diner Review №85

Very good food and good service. Big portion of food.

Diner Review №86

We use to like eating here but they no longer give sriracha sauce for noodles soup.

Diner Review №87

Fist time eating at the lemongrass and there's on lying one word to describe the food the service the surroundings AMAZING!!!! OMG this place is GREAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING HERE.
LILA AND ILASHAJUAN.

Restaurant had a turnaround! Excellent dining.

Diner Review №90

The remodeled interior looks amazing! The food is consistently tasty and the staff are very helpful and attentive. I've been going for years and will continue to support this business. Also, it's a great place for birthday dinner with the fam!

Diner Review №91

Please make your rice softer.

Diner Review №92

Lemongrass used to be our 'go to' and we will not be going back. So sad.

While the new interior might be charming, Lemongrass has lost its appeal, failing to live up to the standards it once set. The decline in service, coupled with mediocre food quality, has left us with no desire to return. It's truly disheartening to see a once-beloved establishment fall from grace in such a manner.

The service was awkward from the moment we walked in. We had to repeatedly request a drink menu, which seemed to baffle our server, as if they were unfamiliar with the concept of a drink menu. When the menu finally made its way to our table, it was shockingly nasty, dirty, and greasy.

The wine pour was another letdown, with serving under 5 ounces, leaving us feeling shortchanged and questioning the establishment's commitment to customer satisfaction. This is when we should have just left.

As for the food, it was a mixed bag at best. The Thom Ka soup, a dish we once enjoyed, was a disappointment this time around. we fished out almost an entire onion-it was overly runny and spice levels were inconsistent between dishes.

Diner Review №93

The food is always outstanding. Can't wait to go back Hemet in the future

First time eating here. I came with my family. Food portions are just the right size. My toddler enjoyed the yaki noodles. We also tried the pho. It tastes sweeter than what I am used to. We finished all of our food. The staff is young and attentive. Definitely our new favorite spot in Hemet!

Pad thai chicken pieces good size amount and noodles cooked to perfection

Diner Review №101

Went with a friend for dinner. We ordered tomka soup and spicy lemon chicken noodles food took long time to come out and it wasn't very busy in the place. Then when it did arrive the flavor and texture of the tomka had way too many onions one flake of cilantro and no shoots also the size of each ingredient was too big. giant chicken pieces giant mushrooms giant onion slices too many onions. Moving on to the spicy lemongrass noodles same issue of ingredient size not cut fine enough for a comfortable bite. Also we ordered spicy at max but it was not I think all they use to spice things up is crushed red pepper the flavor of the overcooked rice noodles was very salty soy flavor the fried dumplings were enjoyable and the main don't skimp on the protien. the service was ok we were waited on by 3 servers and the price is kind of steep compared to other places you really pay for the look of the place I don't mean ambiance although it photographs well and is clean I don't want techno music on speaker and basketball on two giant tv screens. Hope this helps

We came at the end of January and it was a mess. Busy, out of control, staff arguing. We left after 45 minutes of a terrible service without ordering. Decided to come back and give it another try. Benefit of the doubt.
One reason we left that night is that the owner (appeared to be) kept smoking next to the partially open door. Gross, but also I'm allergic. I did share this as I left last time.
Finally went back. Noticed still a bunch of cigarette butts by doors. Nasty. Also disrespectful to the property in general. You don't care about your space? And others?
My favorite was garlic noodles with filet and chicken satay. Not the same. Used to crave and devour it, didn't even want to eat it at all. It used to come out hot wok fresh and SUPER garlicky. It was lukewarm at best, barely any flavor... just oily noodles. And the satay was dry and broke apart, cold in the middle. No way this was cooked fresh to order.
I don't think the same cooks are there, and I miss the girls that used to run the whole show - they were amazing. Not so friendly now (except one). Also appeared to be special treatment for friends.
Waited 10 minutes at counter to pay while to go order was being taken. There were so many people there available to help!
This used to be the spot where we brought guests, which we will never do again and quite frankly, won't even bring ourselves back.
You had a good thing. We will miss it.

This was my first time and wont be the last!

Diner Review №109

The new establishment is far better than the previous location. We chose to sit at the Bar rather than wait, wished we would have waited, the noise from the Kitchen was very loud.

I ordered the Pad Thai ($18.00) l the lunch size portion that was served was less than a lunch size and resemble something that was reheated from someone's lunch from days ago. Noodles were boiled to paste, the bean sprouts and green onions were overcooked, the only thing with texture was the miniscule amount of crushed peanuts.
Needless to say, did not eat it and by the time our Bartender/Server returned I was over it all and did not want to wait or try anything else
The item was taken off the total.

Here's another kicker, they add a surcharge for the rising cost of doing business. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!! Welcome to doing business in California. Tipping is bad enough, now every employee is making minimum wage and providing less than minimum customer service.

Sorry Lemon Grass, used to like your restaurant. . . Hopefully you can survive the new building.

The food is good, but their portions have gotten smaller for take out orders.

Best Thai in hemet
Update 2/29/24
The remodel is beautiful, but tonight the food I ordered was off. The lemongrass chicken was cold and tasted like they put a fish on top of it before serving. The green salad was 70% carrots. The server was very pleasant and replaced the dish with salt and pepper wings which was tasty as usual. This whole ordeal was about 2 hours. I'll probably come back in the future, but I'm definitely not in a rush after this experience

Diner Review №113

Beautiful remodel, very nice ambiance. Green curry is my favorite.

Diner Review №114

Usually, we just get take out. The food is AMAZING. The service isn't the best. Just picked up my order, and the girl seemed super annoyed when I asked for chopsticks. I said thank you, and she just turned around and walked away.

Diner Review №115

Came to Lemongrass for lunch. To find out they opened a new side of the restaurant and apparently the food. I order Pad Tai and it was extremely to sweet. I loved the old Lemongrass Pad Tai. Then we ordered a cucumber salad which is nothing like the traditional Asian cucumber salad. This was not good at all. I wish they wouldn’t change comfort food to this contemporary style food. They should have left the old cook and old flavors ALONE. I would eat here. The new restaurant is beautiful but the food not so good.

Great food and service, not so much kid friendly there’s no diaper change in the restroom.

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

Waited for over an hour to get waters when we decided to cancel our order. The server was very rude and ignored us for about 45 minutes after we were seated, didn’t apologize for any wait and when we decided to cancel our order due to not wanting to wait who knows how long for our food the server genuinely did not care. It’s really unfortunate since it’s obvious that the owners put in a lot of money to the remodel. The manager was sitting and talking to the bartenders who were not doing any work and not helping out the servers. The manager also didn’t seem to care about anything going on in the restaurant. We went before the remodel and had fantastic food and service, I am very sad that this place has gone under like this when it used to be so good.

Diner Review №121

Love the new spot. It is a esthetically pleasing. We ordered the Spicy Tofu appetizer and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Chef Special Pho. It didn't have tripe or tendons in it but I believe it should have. Overall our dining experience is always great.

Pad See Eew was delicious!!!

Diner Review №124

The place was clean. Everything was in nice condition. I got orange peel chicken with brocolli and white rice, a sode of spring rolls and a thai tea… this food was GOOD. The chicken was not caked in breading, it was crispy but not too much. Very flavorful. Servers were very knowledgeable and kind. Price was good. $20 can get you a nice filling meal and drink. I will be coming back to try more

Diner Review №125

Great place for lunch and dinner. Great prices and friendly staff.

Good food for all family (Buena comida para toda la familia)

Diner Review №127

The food took forever to arrive. Uncomfortable seats on the middle row was the only option even when we had made prior reservations. Been here 6 times and it’s progressively bad. Foods ok but they have a recent 3.5 percent surcharge for no known reason which I find very annoying.
The new owners at our regular sushi place have also mandated 3 percent surcharge for payment via cc. And this trend is picking up. Hopefully some other place will open and I can stop going at this place. The one owned by the old couple in florida was our previous go to thai place but they started closing early if they didn’t have costumers which was very inconvenient. Can’t complain much and would prefer a sandwich over this place anytime but wifey has a taste for asian cuisine and I need to go there time to time.

Diner Review №128

Sorry to say the food was not that great.

Used to be 100% been coming here for over 3 years...now I would give it a 70%...the servers are just not as friendly as they used to be. They drop off food and say "Thank you" they say nothing back....
Alllllso they used to have a weekly special now apparently they no longer offer it. I am actually extreamly disappointed. Think they changed owners

Diner Review №133

I ordered ahead, one noodle dish, showed up when it was supposed to be ready, the hostess let the kitchen know I was there, but it took her checking twice and notifying the manager, only to wait another 25 minutes to receive the food I had ordered online nearly an hour earlier, the kitchen management here is terrible. I watched multiple tables receive food that hadn't been sat until after I had been there for over 10 minutes

Diner Review №134

Great food and pretty good service , we go here a few times a year. Totally worth trying.

Diner Review №135

Poor service, food was alright.

Diner Review №136

Absolutely fell in love with the food! My life struggle has been to find good gluten-free options in restaurants and Lemongrass did not fail me. They had so many options, that I almost cried. The struggle is real! I had not had noodles in YEARS so when I had my first taste of the Pad kee mao, it was like a little taste of heaven. The taste was absolutely insane. This was my first time eating here and it will definitely will not be my last. You guys will not regret coming here, especially if you guys struggle with diet restrictions.

Diner Review №137

First time there on 11/22. Got there around 7:50pm. Ordered our food and it was great. Service it awesome. We sat 2 booths away from the kitchen. Around 8:30 you can hear yelling in foreign language coming from the kitchen. Looking around realized it wasn’t coming from other customers. After observing the workers you can see how uneasy they look. After that a young lad blasted through the kitchen doors and looks bothered. If you are yelling at your workers the way I heard last night you are terrible restaurant manager. NO ONE IN CALIFORNIA GETS PAID ENOUGH TO WORK ALL DAY AND GET YELL AT AT THE END OF THE DAY THE THAT YOUNG MAN GOT YELLED AT. Family or not it’s not right. Next time im there and who ever is screaming at these workers WILL HERE FROM ME I WILL ASK FOR MY REFUND AND GIVE YOU A REASON SO BE SCREAMING LIKE THAT!!!!!!! RUDE!!!

I am in love with the spring rolls. I also got the seafood pho ufff, Bomb. great experience and they were able to seat my group of seven. Staff was super friendly and they even provide big fans outside which is ridiculously amazing.

We had dinner at Lemongrass last night. I am gushing with excitement about this restaurant. The place was packed for a Tuesday evening. Only 2 tables were available at 7pm. The staff was very accommodating regarding my food allergies. Not only did she make notes for the kitchen, they double checked on every ingredient I asked about. Not a normal restaurant practice, though it should be when someone is stating they have food allergies!
The food was served hot and the portions are large. I took home half of my dinner! My fiance's Pho bowl was large and filled with lots of seafood. The vegetarian egg rolls were AWESOME!!
We are already discussing when we can go again! It's a hidden gem in Hemet!

I used to come here a lot when I lived in the valley and it was great. Loved this place. Visited last night and the staff seemed indifferent to customer service even though it wasn't busy at all, food took forever to get to our table, and I got violent food poisoning from the garlic and ginger chicken. Like up all night, cramping stomach, out of both ends food poisoning. Place isn't the same anymore. Staff used to be highly attentive and personable and never had an issue with food quality

The staff seemed overwhelmed. The place seemed like it was trying to fit customers in, which left no ambience. The food was ok this time; pineapple fried rice, chicken pad Thai, and mango sticky rice, with Thai tea.

I always enjoy my eating experiences from lemongrass. The food is great and plentiful. The environment is calm and relaxing, the staff are nice.

Lemongrass never disappoints when it comes to food.

Be aware that they add a charge on your bill, which they say, now, is for using a credit card. During Covid they said it was for rising costs.

Diner Review №165

Such a delicious spot! Cannot recommend enough!!! Lots of vegan options as well

Diner Review №166

I've been coming here most of my adult life living in this valley all of my life, I feel this place has kind of lost its touch but not because of the atmosphere but more of the personnel working during our most recent visit.

The egg rolls tasted like fish and you could tell the oil was old and although I appreciate them taking that off of my ticket that food should have never left the kitchen. We come to this place because of the variety and the freshness of the food and I am completely disappointed in today's visit.

I found this place unknowingly, because of the area i was kind of iffy but it was SOOO GOOD, best Thai food around. If youre looking to a sign to go this is it. I got the Pad Thai which was on the sweeter side and the lemon grass noodles which my mom got were on the savory side both 11/10

Service is ok., food was not good. Please use real spice and herbs in vegan instead hoisen sauce. Also cut your veggies same, they were all uneven sizes

Diner Review №171

Great food! Sometimes packed but service is great

Diner Review №172

For the area, it’s a good place. The food is decent, but doesn’t compare to places in O.C. and other areas.

The pricing is getting out of hand here. We ordered green curry, which was already $17 for a bowl. She asked what neat we wanted, and offered chicken, beef,seafood. We said seafood and she charged us $24 for a bowl of curry! And it was frozen and strong tasting fish… not even real crab, but cheap imitation stuff.

Overall, just an Ok place, but the best you can get in Hemet. But 3 dishes was $70 with a 15% tip for lunch!

Diner Review №173

The service hasn’t been the best lately. Last time I was there it took about 20min for them to acknowledge me. The second time I was seated and I was isolated in the back near the restrooms and normally I wouldn’t mind the isolation, but it took them almost 30 minutes to give me the menu. I felt like I couldn’t get any of the servers to even look my direction.
The third I was ordering take out and AGAIN 20 min or more to order. No one said “hi”, or a simple “just a second”. I don’t come as often just because of that, and when I do i order take out. I just can’t deal with bad service.

Josie and Michelle are the best servers, food is great

Food is delicious but a little pricey but worth it. The shaken beef is made with filet mignon and is cooked perfectly. The wine by the glass is terrible but if you buy a bottle of wine it will complement the meal. Atmosphere is a refreshing change and packed with locals during the dinner hour. Not a very long wait to get table.

This place is by far the best Asian cuisine in Hemet. My favorite dish here is the Spicy Lemon Grass Noodles and Golden Calamari. Service is always great.

The spring rolls we're not at all tasty. The pork in it was dry and very tough when I brought it to the attention of the server she went to the back and was told there was nothing they could do that next time order it with a different ingredient. The main entree had very few ingredients such as the shrimp or the fried tofu. The servers were very attentive however the beautiful environment of the restaurant lacked an appropriate soundtrack that would complement the cuisine.

Da bomb garlic noodles and lemongrass wings! Great service!
And ice cream!

Diner Review №194

Best of the best 👍 I definitely recommend the garlic noodles, salt and pepper wings, Thai spicy fried rice, and their three flavored fish. Everything is just right.
