Stylish, colorful eatery offering Thai dishes as well as sushi, beer, wine & a happy hour menu.
Service was a little slow when we were there, but we understood our server was also tending bar. She was apologetic and did her very best, which we appreciated. She made great drinks.
The food is always good. We love the basil chicken wings, basil calamari, Chang Mai Alley noodles, and tilapia curry (curry on the side to keep the fish crispy). But you can never go wrong with anything you order here. The drinks are very tasty and pretty too. One of my favorites is their tamarind cocktail.
It has great ambiance and wonderful staff. Server was very kind and understanding. Food was good (could have been best). Egg rolls was delicious.
There are really no vegetarian options. Menu is misleading as most of their food is cooked in fish oil or shrimp paste. This restaurant isn’t necessarily for vegetarian folks.
I give credit to server who has gone out of her way to provide food which meets our dietary needs. She brought separate list for us. This four stars for her and her only.
We ended up having food prepared differently. We were expecting spicy food however it was all sweet (ended up putting peppers on it). Quality was overall good.
It would be good idea for restaurants to write all ingredients in the menu for dietary or allergies reasons.
Sounds like this location is closing down soon and they are moving to downtown Minneapolis under a new name.
It was our first time here. The service was great. We sat at the bar since the place was booked with reservations. Their drinks were really good, the bartender knew what he was doing for sure.
We ordered the must have basil wings, which was definitely worth it. We also had the pork egg rolls, which were really good as well.
With the two apps, we only had room to share an entra. We ordered the Garlic Chicken. It came out hot and fresh with a side of white rice. Overall, it tasted great, but it did have a distinct smokey flavor which we were not expecting.
Overall, we would definitely go back, but will have to go to their new location in Minneapolis.
Pretty good Thai, sushi is more "Americanized" the med spice level not very spicy, try hot if you want a little bit. Drinks where great, staff nice and polite, they did forget my daughter's food until I said something, more of a 3.5. the fried calamari big but chewy, fried shrimp egg roll 100%, my fried Thai rice, no egg. Stir fry very good per my dinner party (family)
3.5 out of 5
Heard great things about this place so thought to make the trek up to try some good ole chicken pad thai. It's saucy, cooked well and has a ton of chicken. Definitely slightly more on the sweeter side, haven't had it this sweet before. We also had the drunken noodles which were very fragrant. The triangles were a delicious appetizer. Decided to give the fried plantains a try and they definitely delivered! Overall great service too. A little dimmer on lighting which made it harder to read the menu.
Stopped here on our son's recommendation and really enjoyed the experience. I ordered the Spicy Peanut Noodles with shrimp and my wife ordered Pad Peanut (see pictures). Eddie was our server (and the bartender) and he was fantastic (very knowledgeable and great service)!
I usually order towards the top of the spiciness rating, but decided to order less spice tonight to focus on the flavor. I only ordered 2 out of 5 on this dish and although it wasn't as spicy as I'm used to, I did really enjoy the flavor.
We finished with Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Ice Cream. Boy was that delicious - you definitely want to finish your meal with this!

This place was so good and we used to like it a lot but our careless and rude server spoiled it for us. The food still tastes decent but I would hate to get the service we received last time we were there. And then he had the nerve to tell his colleagues watch this when he gave me the bill, as he anticipated something that he didn’t get from me - which was anger. He had an attitude, got the order wrong first and then got the bill wrong, continually chatting and taking forever to serve us, we basically waited and requested other served for help. Eventually I walked over for our check. He already knew what he had done - essentially not done his job, so he wasn’t expecting a tip, hence decided to take this attitude while handing me the check. Absolutely not appreciated and unwarranted. Hope he learns his manners!!
First review from 2020: 4 stars
Great place for a quick Thai munch. The restaurants looks nice and the service is great. It’s not quite fine dining but great for family dinner or a a casual date night. The cocktails seem very expensive for the size quantity and taste. The menu was decent and priced slightly higher than comparable places. Our food tasted decent with distinct flavours. Good chef!
Lemon grass Thai was a quick pick for me after hearing so many good things about it. We made a last minute call and went to this place and was luckily enough to get a table at 8pm. This place needs reservations for sure as it’s fully occupied. Ambiance is good and they maintained the place well and neat. The service was quick and fast. We tried different dishes and loved the flavors they have and enjoyed the food. I thought the cocktails could have been better but it’s more of a good place so it’s all good. Chicken wings with basil crunch was amazing and it’s a must to try it out. Tom yum soup was spot on and it has all flavors in it. Thai fried rice and drunken noodles were delicious too. The only thing we did not like is veg gyoza which we ordered for ppl who don’t eat pork, we would have loved pork gyoza.
Overall this place has amazing food and it’s must visit place for all Thai lover as
Chicken wings with basil, fire crunch - 5/5
Tom yum soup - 5/5
Crispy fried rice - 4.5/5
Thai fried rice - 4/5
Drunken noodles - 5/5
Veg gyoza - 3/5
Cocktails - 3/5
Great Thai and Sushi fusion restaurant. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Also a good place for lunch specials. I would recommend eating here anytime.
Great food.. Great service..
I know they are closing in a few weeks, but we were excited to try it before it did. Basil wings were A+. Golden triangle was soggy and disappointing. Tuna tataki app tasted like the tuna had been at the bottom of the freezer too long. Wild curry was great, fried rice was solid but we did not care for the crispy duck at all. Our waiter disappeared for like an hour while we were waiting for entrees and then we couldn’t find him to pay at the end. Oh well.

Love this place. We drive over 40 mins to eat here. So sad to see it go. Thanks for great dishes.
Food is outstanding. I am so disappointed Lemon Grass is closing. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.
This is now one of my favorite restaurants of all time I did not turn away one single dish everything was seasoned and from the first bite of the appetizer to the last bite of the ice cream was phenomenal.
You have to try this restaurant You have to get a table. It's a bit busy around 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. however anytime after that I think 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday I believe it is whine down and they're more tables available.
Excellent elevated Thai food. Skip the drinks.
They always work to whatever issue arises. I will always love Lemongrass and will miss them when they close😫
The Spicy Calamari is excellent! Have eaten here for at least 8 years, and have never had a menu item less than a 9 out of 10.
Prices went drastically high after Covid. My favorite curry dish that used to be 14 bumped up to 23 dollars. Very disappointing..
Great atmosphere. Come check it out before they close at the end of March! Best food we had was the basil chicken wings with the house special fried rice being a close second (recommend getting the combo!). Red curry noodles are good but heavy. Would be nice if that came with a side of rice for the price charged.
Don't get ice in your drink! Did the refrigeration here and that machine I'd filled with mold!!! Disgusting!
Staff is great, food is great, atmosphere is great. The only problem is that you can order two different dishes, have both of them hot but 1 will be flavorful and 1 will delete your tongue
Recomend getting a reservation unless you dont mind sitting at the bar peak hours esp on weekends.
This places service and craft cocktails were great.
So sad they're closing 3/31/23.

This restaurant has it all. Atmosphere, great cuisine, good service. It is one of my favorite restaurants.
Delicious Thai food! Love this place and will go back soon!
My husband and I went to Lemon Grass on our first date! It has become our spot for anniversaries, birthdays, and just somewhere to bring friends to enjoy a delicious meal. My favorite dish is the southern red curry noodles and my husband enjoys their duck curry. We have tried most of the menu and it's all fabulous. We would highly recommend their basil chicken wings - SO GOOD.
We heard the restaurant is moving locations but we will happily drive a little further to keep enjoying their food!
Ate here a few weeks ago. It’s a Thai/Chinese type place. Very small everyone is very crowded, close together! I had the Mongolian Beef and it was meh! It was like eating soup there was so much sauce and very little beef! Overall, I was not that impressed! Portions are small too, I’m not a super big eater and I ate my whole meal, had none to bring home!
Amazing as usual. Terrific chef. Everything is good including the service. Love it
Awesome place !!!
Fantastic, flavorful Thai cuisine. Wide variety, with options to spice from zero to hot, which is a pleasant surprise. Cocktails were delish, but quite overpriced IMHO. But generous entrees were reasonably priced for the quality. Atmosphere is loud, open and not very intimate, but the dining outweighs these minor issues. We'll definitely be going back!
Ordered takeout from here and their food was decent, when we got the food it was cold AND they forgot our order of dumplings, wouldn't come here again
Amazing Thai dishes! Sad that they are closing but will try to be back before they close their doors. I want to try out their other restaurants in the cities as they have quality standards! 🥰
Unique cocktails were very flavorful. We split the spicy peanut noodles and the #9 Sushi roll. Only a few weeks until they close.
Had birthday dinner with our friends at one of their favorite places. The food was really and plentiful. 💜
One of the best Thai food I ever had in the States. Must go if you are a Thai lover and in Michigan.
Tom Yum soup and Thai milk tea is a must try. The Spring rolls were amazing !!!
Love lemon grass had a wonderful experience last night the food was excellent! Really going to miss this place wish they weren’t closing
I usually love lemongrass and don't leave reviews much. But after calling over and over and message just saying go online I'm deciding to leave a review.
I waited over an hour for pho, wing, and egg rolls (usually no biggie, I go in and order all the time and wait for it togo) but tonight unlike other times no ome called to tell me my food was ready. I went into restaurant and it was just sitting there getting cold by front door.
Then I drive 20 mins home only to pile my pho up and take a sip of broth and it's literally all salt 😭😭😭 try to add pepper and all ingredients but no luck. So of course I call to get some confront for food I waited almost 2 hours to eat after ordering. Only for them to not even answer the phone. Highly disappointed, now I'm sitting here hungry cause I gave the apps to my kids. Cause all I really wanted was pho. But it's all salt 😭😭
I have gotten the same thing each time, Duck Red Curry. It's wonderful. Probably one of the best foods I've ever had.
Mixed feelings. Been visiting here for years, mind you I do not live close at all.
For their prices, surcharges etc… basically for them to survive and get the orders incorrect is so frustrating. My loyalty still remains with this restaurant however between this years service and the removal of a couple awesome items on the menu, they may not be somewhere I dine for too much longer.
I am not the type to yell at someone about an incorrect order but the “remedy” to the issue wasn’t ideal either, who wants to turn around and come all the way back on a hungry stomach to have their orders “remade?”
Neither my or my husband order was made correctly.
I was so excited for my husband to try them out (this was his 1st order) he’s finally open to trying them out and it’s made incorrectly 🙄…only to be offered a small compensation of $10 towards the next visit as a peace offering.
Not ideal to me.
I feel like restaurants that carry your loyalty and see you more than a few times a year should have taken at least 1 of our items off the receipt, what I’d spend on gas and my time just to go back and have it corrected wasn’t worth the fight, or what if I hadn’t wanted to ever go back.
Then the $10 wouldn’t have even been a small remedy at all.
Called tonight to place an order, phone line goes straight to VM.
Can’t order it with allergy specifications online as they’re not taking orders online.
Super frustrated.
I ordered 2 chicken phad see ew and vegetable goyza. It was decent but it didnt wow me enough to go back. Who ever took my order was friendly tho. $45 is outrageous tho for that level of flavor. Decent size portion. I can see room for improvement though on the noodles.
Used to be my fave place! Some of my favorites were the golden triangles (wontons lol), pad Thai, and the crunch curry chicken. They are super good, when spicy. Maybe too many people couldn’t handle spice (which is OPTIONAL) but lemongrass decided to not put their time in doing it for people who love spice. I’ll go back but it’s not gonna be the same. Taste is as important as service. 🤷🏻♀️
Soooo delicious. I enjoy the food, the energy and the staff here are always so kind. All of the curries are really good. My favorite is pineapple curry with tofu!
First time and everything was spectacular price, food portion and service .
I could eat curry everyday of my life
The food is great! I enjoyed my meal and the drinks are also very good.
Don’t get me wrong I LOVE this place and love the food. My only complaint is if I order for takeout, each time I’m given a time to pick up, and end up sitting in the restaurant waiting for 20-30 minutes while they complete my order. I just ask for an accurate pickup time to prevent this inconvenience.
Beautifully served Thai food, friendly staff, great decor.
Quedé encantada con todo. Excelente lugar
We absolutely loved this restaurant. It has a amazing atmosphere, staff who are super friendly and helpful, and food so good that you will want to order more. I can definitely say we will be back! Sam was our waiter, and he was amazing! He definently deserves a raise!
We asked our server for his two favorite dishes & ordered those: Pad See Ew & Spicy Peanut Noodles. They were so unique & worth the money! We also had the Lemon Grass sushi roll & it was the best sushi roll we have ever had - the rice & fish were so delicate. We will definitely be back for future celebrations.
Extraordinary food and wonderful service. Not the biggest fan of the two top tables and how close they are to others, but still an incredible restaurant.
Used to be better pre covid sushi is ok/edible this place used to be our every week thing with out a beat for 4 + years and now it’s just nowhere near the same
My husband and I wanted to love this place. The food was great and so were the cocktails. It did not get a higher rating because of the staff wasn’t that great. She served us our apps and dinner at the same time so food was getting cold. We will go again if I’m the area and just have to make sure we tell them to NOT bring our food all at once. Who does that?!
Nice little spot with good vibes. Great food, great service, great drinks. Had the Tom Kha soup and Jungle Suprise. Will be back.
Hidden yummy gem!!
One of my favorite spots in the Twin Cities!!!
Expensive, very expensive. For instace Drinks $12, Crispy Basil Duck $25. They also charge you a "Surcharge tax" and a "Health Sucharge" that are a bit more than 5% of your bill, it is in addition to other taxes and I have never seen in other restaurants. My Chicken Laab salad was very salty. The other dishes were OK, but nothing outstanding. I had been this same week at another Thai restaurant in Pine city (Lotus) and the food was better and way more reasonable I thought. So in comparison the Lemon Grass feels expensive and with OK food.
Dragon roll was tasty, with rich umami flavor. Singapore Sling a nice compliment. Don't let the strip mall location fool you, this place has great food and great service
My new favorite spot
Pretty standard fare, nothing spectacular.
Service was really good.
Great service and food. I had the beef pad Thai, fried calamari and the red curry sauce with crispy chicken. Excellent and authentic flavors
Dark and dimmed for dates. Very good.
Delicious food for both entrees and appetizers. We really enjoyed the mocktail we tried as well. It's relatively small and has a nice low light atmosphere as well. We'll definitely be back again sometime.
Fantastic food and lots of options for gluten and dairy free! Truly one of our faves!!!
Nice atmosphere and delicious food
First time here and the Food was so good. Service was outstanding as well. 👌🏾
The cocktails were classy but elegant and perfectly balanced. The food was delicious!
hidden gem for sure. big portions, not over priced. excellent sushi and Thai
Customer service was poor. We had a miscount and asked if they could accommodate for ONE extra person. They offered no suggestion other than that the extra person had to sit on a separate table that wasn’t even the table next to us. We asked if they could provide a baby seat for the < 1 yr old that was with us and they refused. We had to ask multiple times to bring our food they forgot. They asked if we needed boxes for our food while we were still eating. Not a place I’d return to even if the food was good.
Came here for the first time after reading many great reviews ! We had the Thai fried rice and drunken noodles . For drinks we had the mai Thai and the Saturn . Both the food and drinks were EXCEPTIONAL!! PETER our server was beyond amazing ! He was patient and made great recommendations! If you come there def ask for Peter. The food also comes out very quick . We tried the basil wings but I probably wouldn’t have them again , they were just okay . Aside from that everything else was A+ I will def go back to try more things on their menu .
The food is amazing. Friendly staff.
Can't wait to try more of the menu
Mixed review here….
Every time that I have eaten at Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine the food has been fabulous, fresh and colorful. The service is always been great and the atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely.
I was thinking of going tonight for dinner since they have open back up post Covid. Then I saw on their website they have cited a Minnesota statute that supports them adding a service fee to their bill. The service fee is NOT your gratuity. The sad thing is they are charging 18% for dining and 15% for take out. So an example: my $100 dinner tab will now cost $138 (and additional $18 for the fee and $20 for the gratuity).
This has priced me out…I cannot afford to go to Lemmon Grass any longer. 😢
The service was great, food was a little bit salty on certain dish such as the wings / papaya salad. The reason for the low rating was find out that the surcharge on the bill goes directly to the owner instead of the employee.
Out bill came out to be $230+$30 for surcharges. We wrote $30 as a tip since we though the surcharges goes to employees. But our server explain it goes directly to the employer. After hearing that we offered more tip for our server.
It is disgusting to know that the establishment does this in benefits of the owner and not the staffs.
Amazing!!!
Pretty good except their most spicy options are "Minnesota" spicy hot and don't really deliver the heat you'd expect from a Thai restaurant. Good choice for work lunches, not for a date night if you're looking for real authentic flavor.
Overpriced for the poor quality. The Edemame wasn't even edible.
Good food, Subpar service! The Pad Thai is GREAT (when they make it like I ask) I have been a patron for two years and they have only gotten my order right once. Tonight they did it again :( I'm going to find another Thai spot.
Amazing food, drinks, and fun atmosphere. Chef Ann Ahmed knows how to make an amazing menu and Lemon Grass compares very will with Kahluna and Lat14. Simply delicious.
Great food, service and decor!
Best Thai food around
Bad service! Waited 20 minutes and didn't even get served. So we just left!
Haven't seen this white waiter who speaks rudely like he hate his job or something. so Ima give ya a 5 star. Every time we come there, we always hope we don't get him.
My wife & I have visited Lemon Grass several times over passed couple of years, the food has always been very good and wonderfully tasty. We went last again last week and once again the food was very good and the cocktails very inventive. The problem I had last week is that the wait staff was worse than lousy, they were terrible. At one point after staring at our empty appetizer plates for a half an hour, I had to stop a waitress to request that she remove the plates. She rolled her eyes and walked away. Food is good, service was terrible!
Excellent food
Undisclosed 18% surcharge on the bill! Was told this IS NOT the tip! If you need additional funds to pay your staff or cover expenses, then raise your prices! You don't gouge your customers after the fact! Very bad business practice.
Won't go here again! And will worn everyone I know.
Charged a 18% hospitality surcharge on top of the price of food and told this is not a tip I usually tip near 20%
I do not care what you call it I considered It the tip
That is what I paid
The food is always amazing and atmosphere is fun and cozy. Our entire family loves it here!
Upon a second visit I give a 2 star, the food is good. Meal took quite a while. Ordered egg rolls as an app, two of our three meals showed up before the app, my Wife is sitting with no meal. When her meal showed up, still no egg rolls, we chose to cancel them. Her meal was supposed to be Mild, it was hotter than my meal which I asked for spicy. Not very good service.
To top it off, they add an 18% Gratuity to the check. Both my Wife and I were in the food industry for years. To me 18% is high. if the service was good, I would have less of an issue. WE WILL NOT RETURN FOR A THIRD VISIT!
Maybe take out, as long as they do not charge Gratuity on that too.
👏🏻We drove 45 minutes to try this place, and it was well worth the hike!! Spicy edamame, pork gyoza, one fish-two fish drink, and four different sushi rolls was outstanding!! Service was superb!! I love their creativeness of their food and drink and selection. So much fun!! Plan to be back soon!!
This is a rip off paid 23 dollars for curried potato chunks ...not worth it
.
.Fancy MY a
.......
Amazing food and staff
Pretty good Thai, sushi is more "Americanized" the med spice level not very spicy, try hot if you want a little bit. Drinks where great, staff nice and polite, they did forget my daughter's food until I said something, more of a 3.5. the fried calamari big but chewy, fried shrimp egg roll 100%, my fried Thai rice, no egg. Stir fry very good per my dinner party (family)
3.5 out of 5
Good food, prices maybe a tad high, but a good overall dining experience.
Best Thai fusion in Brooklyn Park! I’ve been a steady customer for over 6 years. The egg rolls, Pad Thai, green curry, and sushi always hit and the drinks from the bar are fantastic!
Update as of 4/2022 : Went back after almost 3 years of COVID, and was utterly disappointed. The food quality just wasn't the same. On top of the already high prices, the 18% surcharge which doesn't even go to the staff is atrocious. A dinner for 3 came out to be $200 where we did not even enjoy the food! Not sure if we'll be going back again!
Original review :
Awesome Thai food with a great experience! We are vegetarians and always have a struggle finding good food options. We visited Lemongrass for my husband's birthday and were pleasantly surprised to find several dishes which were customizable without any meat. Based on server recommendations, we ordered egg spring rolls, Veg pad thai, veg fried rice and Pineapple curry and everything was so yummy! The service and ambience were top notch as well! We will definitely be going back again and highly recommend!
Food was alright, but it was a bit overpriced. I probably won't return.
I can't remember the last time that I was at Lemon Grass. I'm sure it was before covid. So returning once again after a long time I most certainly was not disappointed.
I started with an order of Vegetable Goyza. The portion was generous and certainly more than what might have been needed as an appetizer. It sure could have been part of a shareable dinner. They were yummy with really nice crisp golden brown edges.
I also ordered the classic spring rolls. Very tasty with perfect sauce. They used nearly the whole width of the wrap and filled it so you weren't caught with more wrap than filling. Everything tasted fresh and bright!
I finished with Chiang Mai Alley Noodles. Outstanding! Just the right heat level for what I ordered. It smelled out of this world and tasted even better. Plus... it's fun to eat.
Came home with leftovers that I enjoyed the next day.
So sorry it took me so long to come back. You can be sure that it won't take me 2 years again.
I used to love this place. I had not been to Lemon Grass in many years and finally returned tonight. It was disappointing. It used to be such a down-to-earth, well priced place with excellent food. Tonight the vibe wasn’t good from the start- kind of pretentious. The manager struggled with wanting to seat us at a table and tried to encourage us to sit at the bar. Food and cocktails were okay, but it wasn’t anything extraordinary. 2 cocktails, 2 noodle entrees and an order of spring rolls was $100. An 18% surcharge is added to your bill and apparently it is not even a tip to the server. The server then had to awkwardly explain this and almost plead for you to tip in addition. That didn’t seem fair to the them. I am happy to pay a high price for a great experience but this was just standard Thai food with a stuffy vibe.
It has great ambiance and wonderful staff. Server was very kind and understanding. Food was good (could have been best). Egg rolls was delicious.
There are really no vegetarian options. Menu is misleading as most of their food is cooked in fish oil or shrimp paste. This restaurant isn’t necessarily for vegetarian folks.
I give credit to server who has gone out of her way to provide food which meets our dietary needs. She brought separate list for us. This four stars for her and her only.
We ended up having food prepared differently. We were expecting spicy food however it was all sweet (ended up putting peppers on it). Quality was overall good.
It would be good idea for restaurants to write all ingredients in the menu for dietary or allergies reasons.
The food was good. The portion sizes were not very big. The service was excellent. The prices were high for what we ordered, but knowing it was gluten and soy free and safe makes it worth it for my family.
Outstanding food and service.
They reopened after the last Covid shut down and they changed their menu. THEY TOOK PHO OFF THE MENU 😭😭😭😭 I loved this place for its pho. I still respect this place but most likely won't be coming back as much due to not having Pho on the menu anymore..
Horrible establishment with corrupt owners. Fired entire staff because they didn't want to pay them a living wage. Then reopened the same restaurant with new lower paid employees.
Bad customer service, call in the place an order for Crazy Duck from the menu and the guy tell me we don't have it. Last time ordering from here (Lemon Grass in BP, MN).
11/10 taste and quantity of food.. how ever the prices of the menu items have increased over the last 2 years and now there has been a 15% sur charge for probably a year. I wouldn’t mind if that charge went towards the wonderful servers they have but it doesn’t and it’s even higher percentage when you dine in. I know this effects how much people are tipping please don’t be so greedy .. foods so good I’m eating here regardless though lol.
The food here is fantastic. We love this Sriracha fried rice, the curries, and many of the appetizers. The staff are so helpful and we're really happy this is in a neighborhood that really needs great spots like this.
Before the pandemic this place was amazing and was my to go place for Thai food. However, from the start of the pandemic, the price of foods here increase about 30% for the things I usually order. On top of that, they put an 18% surcharge on my take out (Most restaurant would only do 5% surcharge max and you can ask them to remove the surcharge if needed). The worst thing is that the surcharge wasn’t even considered as tip for the servers and most people will not add a tip on top of the huge surcharge they put on the bill in they do dine-in. The food overall was still good but their service was terrible, especially the managers there are rude.
I loved the food and drinks when I was there a few months ago, but was super disappointed when I walked in yesterday to find that they were only doing take out. The atmosphere is great and I want to eat there!
We just got some lao papaya salad tonight and omg... the papaya is so old and it had a stinky trash smell! For the price, I cannot believe they gave us old papaya! Also, we ordered an hr ahead and they gave our order to someone else who had the same name! Like do y'all not look at the full name, credit card number and phone number to confirm?! So we had to wait another 20 mins! I still can't believe with all that wait time, they gave us stinky old papaya!
Very good food. The dine in experience is pleasant. Great place to go on a first date. I would recommend any of the curry dishes, and the wings are fire! Oh, can't forget about the egg rolls, due to the fact that I've never had a bad batch!
Love the place the pad Thai is amazing and the atmosphere is really great but the calamari is a joke I got maybe 4 or 5 pieces of calamari and the rest was just some random veggies that they threw in and deep fried and lately it feels like they have been cutting corners on some of their other dishes
Love lemon grass!!
Proud for what!?!?Crazy !!!!!
Lemon Grass is proud to adopt a Universal Hospitality Surcharge. An 18% Surcharge is added to all Dine-in and a 15% Surcharge is added to all Take-out services, pursuant to Minnesota Statute §177.23, Subd. 9, this charge is not a gratuity for direct employee service.
Some of the best sushi in town. Thai food is pretty good as well. Full bar, great bartenders on the busy nights... Highly recommended.
This place changed. Wings are always bruised and black when you bite into them. Very disappointing. Will go else where from now on.
Great food. The pickup service is awesome. I hope they get enough employees so they can serve dine in again soon. We eat there at least once a month.
In my opinion the BEST Thai in town!
This restaurant has been getting worse and worse. Used to love going here a few years back. Quality of the food is not good anymore, fried rice was nasty, no flavor, portions aren’t the same. Plus the surcharge for just eating there is ridiculous, they are trying to maximize profit and stay in business not focus on quality and customer experience. I would definitely avoid this place. There are much better alternatives of Thai food in Minneapolis. I will never go back to this place.
The food here is so delicious
Before pandemic it was on of my favorite Thai restaurant, but not anymore. The prices went up, portions are smaller and they make you pay a mandatory 15% sur charge that isn't even considered a tip for stuff. Poor servers, they are doing good job but I'm sure they don't get their desrved tip since some customers do not tip cause they get charged a surcharge!
Used to be our favorite Thai restaurant. But after they started to charge 15% service fee, shrinked their portions and raised the prices, we decided to find another place.
Great food!
I placed my order at 6:40 for a 7:30 pick up and my food was not done until 8:45. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant. The food I received was ok I ordered basil wings, fire wings, combo rice, and spicy calamari. It was well seasoned and semi fresh. But with the prices they charge you would think it be prepared in a timely matter and have better portions. I waited for an hour and fifteen minutes, spent 80 dollars for takeout, while watching at least 17 people be seated and served their meals. I like quality food, customer service, and prompt professionalism this place unfortunately served one out of three. Safe to say this will be our last time dining.
Overall food was excellent. Waiter was very friendly and professional. No complaints.
So fresh and tasty. We love spring rolls and they are not easy to find. These were perfect. The red curry wth chicken was sublime. Minus a star because the ordering platform isn't friendly and our curbside never showed...10 min after the time est. we went inside to find it waiting.
I ordered Thai hot panang curry. It made me cry with pain but also happiness. I will be back for another. Thank you very much.
Good food
