Unassuming locale for traditional Thai fare, including seafood dishes & create-your-own stir-fries.
If you had read the old reviews of this place, please forget about it !!!!! and please come back to try . They have changed the recipe and added more Authentic Thai dishes. If you don't know which one to order I really recommend the Crispy Pork, Crab Fried Rice , Chicken Khao Soi and Crab carry with rice noodle
Very disappointing meal. Takeout only. Not too friendly person taking the order. I asked for brown rice, but when I got home, no surprise here: white rice. Green curry was decent but everything didn’t seem super fresh. No complaints from my daughter on her Pad Thai. Definitely won’t be going back.
I love eating basil frued rice. The service i excellent and the food arrives fast. It is one of my favorite restaurants.
This is my go-to Thai restaurant for take out. Everything I've had is great! Friendly staff and very reasonable prices. One of the best Indonesian fried rice dishes in metro-west Boston, almost identical to the one made at Rod Dee's in brookline (which is my favorite Thai restaurant in MA)
Wonderful authentic thai food and nice service.

บรรยากาศในร้านน่านั่ง ต้องไปลองหลายๆเมนูแล้วค่ะ

Treated rudely
Food was delicious, the thai tea was incredible.
Extremely friendly staff. They can get busy but they always make the orders quickly for deliveries.

Cozy lovely place!
Well I'm updating my review. This place is sliding downwards. The food is hit or miss now. Sometimes they get your order right. Sometimes the food looks a day or more old. Other times the food is amazing or they get your entire order correct.
Also, the help has to be the grouchiest people on the planet sometimes. Other times they are friendly. I don't get it. This is Wellesley. We are supposed to be spreading happiness, love, and peace to each other. We are supposed to be brightening everyone's day. Not dragging them down out of it.
And all this hasn't happened just once. It's multiple times now and we keep going back hoping it will be good again. The past uncountable amount of times have all been a disappointment. I feel like we were bait and switched. When they first arrived, they were awesome! Now eh, I wouldn't give it to my dog.
The atmosphere has always been icky. It's def a take out restaurant more than a dine in type of place. Like, I'd never bring my girlfriend on a date here.
I'm not sure if I'll be back. It was good for a little while.
But like most places, they didn't keep up measures to keep their customers happy. I'm more interested in what restaurant comes in to replace this one at some point. We need a change of a place who cares about their customers.
Without us, you wouldn't be here. Just my honest and up to date review.
Want to go here with a friend the other day and they only do takeout now so ended up not going. Very disappointed. Was looking forward to having some Thai food
I love that the country pad thai is actually spicy, I have a hard time finding thai places that actually make their dishes spicy. My only issue with the dish is that there were 3 mini pieces of shrimp, and that was it. Lots of chicken, but skimpy on the shrimp. I also got to try the red nah, which I thought was good. I thought I was getting a noodle entree, because it said "thai gravy", and expected a sauce.. but it was actually a soup! Either way, it was tasty.
I have been a repeat customer for over four years. Good food, great service, and no complaints

whenever my wife gets sick(cold, etc) she orders tom yum noodle soup from here. according to her this is the only place that has good one. We like their other stuff too.
This place is a hidden gem. The dumplings are incredible and deliciously bite sized. Service is always great and prices are reasonable. Lemon Thai deserves more love!!
Great Pad Thai!
Chicken satay was good. Veggie rolls were lacking of filling-mostly just wrapper. Papaya salad and pad Thai were ok but definitely lacked flavor.
we tried this place, and ordered the thai basil with beef( for extra fee) and the rad nah. it is barely food for one person, and that for the price of $43.
worse is it came cold and the thai basil came with chicken. called up the place to see what if how. they had no desire to fix the problem.
normally I am not the person to write negative reviews, and order mistakes can happen, but the lack of desire to address it, especially for a first time visitor, the quality and size of the food, I felt the need to warn you in case you are considering this place to probably go shop around somewhere else...
The pad se ew and pad thai here are ok. Over had better but have unfortunately had worse. I'm not sure of this place is an authentic thai restaurant, but the thai flavor os definitely there.
Gave incorrect protein with pad Thai. Curry was somewhat soupy, not thick.
Portion size at lunch time is a complete rip-off. Flavour is good, but the curry I ordered was basically just white rice and so little curry that it was not even possible to get the rice remotely wet, and even though 90% of the delivered portion was rice, it was not enough to get full.
The best Thai food I’ve ever had, very flavorful and appetizing. I got the thai coffee and Indonesian fried rice. I will be ordering no again in the future, this is my new favorite Resturant!
The better place to eat that delicious Italian food.
I ordered all spicy items but non of them were very spicy, kind of bland. Also much of it is too oily. I won't be ordering from them again,
My favorite restaurant in Wellesley!
Great food!
I ordered the Tom yum soup and yellow noodle pad Thai. Soup was basically a broth with mushrooms and meat added, very little flavor. Pad Thai was overly sweet and noodles were dry and powdery. Meals for seven people were served at different times, about 15 minutes apart. Overall, disappointing.
Great food and service!
Very good food!!
The food is amazing, and the service is great.
I ordered the basil fried rice with pork and the food was good. But, when I asked for a to go box, all of my food was not in the box. I called to tell them about this issue, and I was rudely hung up on. The man I talked to basically told me that I was lying and that I pulled the same stunt yesterday which was not true. If you are going to order food from lemon thai, make sure that the waiter does not take your food to the back. Ask them for the box and package your food yourself. This same issue also happened to many of my friends.
Hands down - the best Thai food you will ever eat in Massachusetts. Everyone who thinks about Thai food... just thinks about Pad Thai. I would recommend to explore their menu. The staff is friendly as well
The Pad Thai was cooked quickly and ready for pickup. Then there was only two shrimps three large slices of scallions. The noodles were somewhat tasteless. I had some great Pad Thai in Arlington recommend Thai Moon and Thana Kitchen.
Solid Thai at a reasonable price for the area.
Pad Thai was good but it's different than any other I have ever tasted. I'm not a tie food expert but the only thing I order is the vegetable pot time. Apparently this one is naan made with Tamarind paste.
Very creative menu choices beantifully presented.
Great food and delicious .service was awesome
Great service, very good food
Excellent food and service. I love it here!
The Tom Yum soup was nicely spiced with fresh mushroom slices in top. The two main dishes we had also very well prepared and veggies all fresh and crispy. Note that they have no liquor license so no beer options.
Fast service and good food!
Best of the two Thai places in Wellesley center. The food is solid, the service is nice, and you can bring your own adult beverages. Will be back many times.
BYOB and crispy duck! !!
Good food! Charged us extra for rice even when buying curry. Decor was ok dont go for a fancy occasion. Food was out quick. Service was good too.
Always solid for tasty thai food, have been many times,the chicken in love dish is a winner.
Inexpensive, good food, nice people
Delicious food and great service, thank you!
Pretty good food nice ambiance and great service. Not the best ever but a solid option.
Awful Yello curry very disappointed when I sent it back because I really didn’t like it but was still charged full price on bill. Small and lame inside also. I give it a negative star 👎
Good food. Good service. Pleasant simple decor. Since it is BYOB, it is also inexpensive.
Had Pad Thai, Pad See Eaw, and Siam Fried Rice. Was very disappointed. Everything was bland. If you just need hot food this place is good. If you want to actually enjoy the food I would go somewhere else.
Good food, great selection, good prices. Not 5 stars because I have had better Thai food. But we'll still be going back.
Have been coming here for 8 years to get Curry.
Food was great
Good food, great service. This was my second time and am planning to go back. Like that it's a brown bag restaurant without a corkage fee.
Pad Thai is amazing !!
Good causal Thai food. Quick service and nice people
Great even for take out
Tasty quaint restaurant
I do not like writing negative reviews but this was the worst food we've ever had out. You would expect a Thai place to know how to cook Pad Thai. I was starving but after a few bites decided I'd rather keep starving. Yes, it was THIS bad. White rice noodles swimming in an overly acidic/sweet sauce with a terrible aftertaste. This mess tasted nothing like Pad Thai. I hope they just had a bad day.
I had good experience with food but bad experience with the staffs. they are rude and dont know how to behave with customers. otherwise food is good.. I would suggest to change few staff to make everything good..
My brother and I come here because we like the fried rice and he likes the spicy basil chicken. Maybe we come too often because the man who takes our orders remembers us and what we like. :) The food comes very quickly and is always hot, although I think the portions are very big. Our cousins also liked it.
Good food for cheap prices. Large servings.
Good cheap Thai food
Love the Wellesley fry rice.
At a loss where we should eat, we stumbled across this restaurant. My mango curry with tofu and brown rice was delicious. The price and portion was great. Family who were with me had chicken larb and Tom Yum soup. They really enjoyed their meal as well. Naturally, the walls were painted a lemon color. I'm surprised this restaurant doesn't have a higher rating, but in my opinion, it's a great lunch or dinner option.
When starved for choices this is a solid option. Among the dishes, the duck stands out.
Horrible service. One of the waiter whom is a guy took our order. After taking our orders, he snatched the menu from my hands. But did not with my girlfriend. Which in foremost should've been a red flag and we should've walked out. Had some appetizers they are not bad at all. I ordered the country style pad Thai for my main course. I believe it was suppose to come with fried eggs on top from what I've read on the menu. Well let me tell you this, the pad Thai was disgusting. It was drenched in fish sauce. It had an acidic taste and smell to it.. I took four bites and I was done. After receiving the bill not even five minutes later the waiter comes back and asked us, if we're done with the bill. After we were done with our check. I left a 15% tip for the horrible service. He was all over the bill right as we stood up. Never again. I should have just went to eat some where else.
The food here was delicious!
The food here wasn't that good I didn't have a really good experience here.
This place deserves 5 stars for keeping Wellesley students sane and fed.
Good 'ole stand by in Wellesley!
Basil fried rice is pretty good
I like to get catering from here. Big fan of the Basil Fried Rice with Beef and breading on the chicken wings. Portions are nice and large. Wouldn't get much else. Thai iced tea is way too sweet.
Excellent food, I especially love the pad thai. Service is always good and delivery swift and convenient. I have recommended Lemon Thai to many of my friends and will continue to in the future.
This is the best pad thai i've ever had. Try the country style pad thai for a spicy twist on the original!
