came in for happy hour and some light snacks for dinner. unfortunately most of the food seemed oily, very little flavor, and felt as if it just came from the freezer and straight into the deep fryer.

unfortunately, not the vibe or food quality we had hoped for as we were staying nearby in a higher-end hotel and thought the surrounding stores would match. their website described themselves as upscale, but the product did not match the description.

Food served quickly, but little flavor, no spice. Used to be a great Thai restaurant. Mango and sticky rice was adequate, needed more coconut milk/cream, mango was barely ripe.
My daughter liked the Wasabi on the Sushi.

Visited for restaurant week. Let's start with the positives. Our server was very sweet and helpful.

Ordered the shrimp teriyaki and the sushi special (fav roll and venom roll). The teriyaki was really thin and soupy and the vegetables were not cooked. The sushi was fine.
We also had the lemongrass soup. Vegetables were again not very cooked, but I did not mind.
I was really excited about the mango sticky rice (pictured) and flavor was okay but the mango was not ripe.

The boyfriend said:
Mango in the dessert was not close to being ripe.
I am sure the Tiramisu is bough at Kroger because it was the only food item that was good.
The only other thing that was good was an item consisting of cold and fermented foods that requires minimal preparation. You could make it at home and save yourself the trouble.

Sigh. Not the same. I have eaten here many times in the past and the food was very very good. Atmosphere used to be busy and upbeat.
Asked about wine and was given an old, smudged printed paper. No prices or much info about any wines.
We planned on eating dinner. But after the appetizers, we left. Everything sat in a puddle of oil and was smothered by a strange gravy. Inedible.
Our server was fine and friendly.
Very unfortunate.

Went there for date night ordered the Black Widow roll. I’m assuming the crab was molting when it was processed and made the roll inedible. I asked the waiter to access and she responded with “I think that’s just part of the crab” did not ask if I wanted anything else or offer to replace or take it off the bill. I understand molting is unavoidable but if you want flawless service, which the short north thrives on, go somewhere else

Food and drinks were great! Service was a little slow but it was packed house so understood! Overall great place to grab some dinner and drinks!

I had high expectations, and was looking forward to eating at Lemongrass Fusion Bistro for quite a long time. Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed and let down.

The lack of a physical menu, and use of your phone to view the menu needs much polish. The digital menu made understanding what was available very difficult, as you could only see several items at a time, organization was poor. But this was the smallest issue.

Nice location, was seated almost immediately. Prices for Chinese food are a premium, so my expectations were high. Unfortunately, the service was mediocre and the food varied from ok to almost disgusting, where i could not finish.

The Cashew Shrimp & Scallops was actually good, and left no room for complaint. However, the Lemon Sole was disturbingly bad. It is listed as a lighted fried Sole Filet with "Cajun spices, veggies, lemon butter, and rice". This dish would have fared much better if the fried fish was served on its own. There was no spice to be found, and the lemon butter sauce had no flavor of lemon nor acidity and really just sat as a very heavy sauce that was bland and destroyed the dish. Perhaps this was a one time mistake, but the restaurant was not busy, and for this quality of restaurant and price, it should be expected for the chef to taste the sauce. I ate about half of it, and was not happy I ate that much

The Roll ordered for an appetizer was delivered incorrectly, and the correct roll did not appear until after the bill was paid and we were ready to walk out. Kitchen stated they were still making it, after 45 minutes I think it is obvious it was forgotten.

Our waitress filled our glasses once, and would disappear for 15 minutes at a time. The other waitress seemed exceedingly busy and active, in fact I had to ask her twice to find our waitress. This was a slow weekday night.

So sorry to leave a negative review, I had high hopes and looked forward to this. Unfortunately there weren't any redeeming traits.

I came with my friends and we were not having a good time there. Our waiter was very unfamiliar with the menu and couldn’t answer any of our questions, they were very sweaty and forgot most of the things we asked for. We all ordered 3 different drinks and not one of us took more than 2 sips and they said they don’t take drink off a check but took of a random menu item. We tried their sushi and it felt like the same quality as a lunchable.

My daughter and I stopped in and ordered take out. The lemongrass soup and chicken wings were amazing! The perfect cold weather meal. While we waited, the host was so kind to us that when we left we both looked at each other and though what a great atmosphere, such a friendly place!

Lemongrass has always been a favorite go to of mine for sushi. The food is always a 10/10 and the staff is so nice. One of my favorite restaurants in Columbus!

The food was great and staff was very attentive.

The owner, Jesse Vitt, is so incredibly kind and generous. You can tell he genuinely cares!

To keep it honest I saw the way that this buisness treated there staff because the food was of low quality I couldn't believe the blame game that took place over the restaurant having poor quality food I had eaten there on valentines day and the manager I talked to was extremely rude and could not exhibit professionalism I felt like I was his boy friend he was mad at giving what I would call sassy behavior and disrespect and then to top all of this off I see a roach run across the floor I tell you this place blew my mind not at all what they advertised to be I'm pretty sure that the owner of this place either does not care and is not present or they just don't know how to run a restaurant pass on this if want quality

Good soup and solid service!

Awesome place. Great happy hour. One of the last family owned businesses in the area. I'll be back for the Rangoons and the mango and sticky rice dessert!!

Great service, friendly bartender love the crab Rangoon definitely a place. I will visit again.

My name is Sherita and I've been coming to this place for 2 years. I Love the staff. They treat you with the best service and care. I love good clean food, which is served best here at Lemomgrass. I visit atleast twice a week in the cold season. My favorite place to go.

The only place during restaurant week that didn’t have a wait. After eating there, I understand why.

It was ok... Bartender was awesome. The food was ok. The shrimp looked horrible...I guess they cooked it. If you stay away from that everything else I had was descent. The wings were actually really good. Get them.

Wow wow wow!!!!! Was going next door to dine but seen this place and let me tell you…. Great selection and they did NOT disappoint. Wow it is a must try. 🌝

The best restaurant in the world!

Loved the food best Asian food I’ve ever had

Shout out to Tia! And Lucas! We have dietary (gf, Pescatarian) and they collaborated to make this Spectacular dish...and the drinks...amazing! We will be back!

Good menu. Drinks are sweet.

Awful service, matched only by the terrible food. This was our first visit and it sounded very appealing, an Asian fusion restaurant with a Thai emphasis. We arrived and sat with menus for around a half hour- no one even stopped by to say “I’ll be right back.” Finally we ordered, but the server kept forgetting what we ordered and after a long time brought out some food for us, about half of which is what we’d ordered. As part of our dinner we’d ordered hot green tea for the four of us. She brought out a single cup with a tea bag - never a good sign at an Asian restaurant that you can’t get a pot of tea - in a cup with lukewarm water. We then waited twenty minutes, well into our main course, for the other three cups to arrive, also all lukewarm with tea bags. The food was not particularly flavorful and had the texture you expect from frozen convenience food. I ordered my main dish spicy and it was borderline flavorless - charmingly, there was a warning on the menu that it contained Thai chillis, another promise not lived up to. When our main dishes all finally arrived, roughly an hour and twenty minutes after arriving, each one of them was cold, as though sitting quite a while (in the open, not under a heat lamp), and the rice was cold and stale. There were failures from top to bottom at this restaurant tonight. Dining there turned out to be a serious mistake, and one I won’t make again.

Some things were good others were not, got very hard unripe avocado in one of our rolls and our Paloma tasted like straight lime juice. Sashimi was good.

They need a new menu & service is ok. Prices & music & atmosphere is great.

The veggie spring rolls are amazing

The chicken Pho is amazing it has a kick to it, but the flavor is so robust, it is the best Pho I've ever had.

Great sushi and chicken satay, the dark print on the menu was a bit of a struggle to read but my eyes are old

Lucky is the best bartender ever! so sweet and the drinks are amazing!

this may be the best pad thai i have had in Columbus....yippee

I was at a convention downtown so decided to walk to Lemongrass on my lunch break. I loved the vibe of this restaurant but can’t rave enough about how awesome the food was! I ordered a salad and the Chicken Pho. The salad was delicious but the Pho was phonemenal! Best I have ever had. I sat at the bar and my food came quickly and the service was great. I highly recommend trying this place out!

I wouldn't call this food asian fusion. They have asian and they have non-asian. Food was good. We HATED the interior. Not very sophisticated. Tv's could seen in dining room and was very distracting. Music was loud......if I lived in the neighborhood I might carry out....but won't be going back....not my vibe at all.

Great place they have 2 happy hours one 3-6 and from 9-close

Awesome experience and better food the service is impeccable waiters bartenders go above & beyond this is one establishment that me & friend’s frequent ALWAYS!!! You can’t miss with Lemongrass🤌🏾

Best bartenders, best food, best service.

Nice facility but no air conditioning. We were sweating the whole dinner. Food was above average.

I walked into the restaurant and thought they might have not been open yet because there was no one inside, besides a server and someone who’s apparently the manager. I asked if the restaurant was open and the manager replied with an extremely rude attitude. I don’t know what her problem was but this is no way to treat diners. Won’t be coming back again.

The food was amazing and the service was even better. Me and a couple of friends visited this place last week and had an amazing experience. Definitely a place I’m going back to.

The food is great and so are the drinks!

We got the pho, sushi, and veggie dumplings. Have we known the sushi and the dumplings would be the only thing good here we would’ve just stuck with that. The pho broth tasted like water and spice. Nothing in between we came here two years ago today and had nothing but good things to share at that time. They changed the happy hour time frame, the chef, and everything has gone down hill. They undercut us on the amount of shrimp in the pho and we had to ask for more and then we got more of the shrimp, It was basically microwaved and the middle was not cooked through. We will not be coming back

10/10 I love it here super super good the service is out of this world same as the food my only complaint is the tiny bathroom down the stairs

I came to this place a year ago!! It was so good that I had to come again today!!!! When I’m in the area, I will always eat here.

So yummy omg. I'm from FL and I have to say the Pad Tai Here was so delicious I felt like I was back home. Full of veggies yesss just what I needed.

Best place in the short north! Amazing service from Jewell and Alex. Food came out fast and it was delicious!! The bartenders were very attentive and sweet.
(Ps ladies they are FINEEE leave your man at home) I will be back!!!

The atmosphere at lemon grass is perfect for a date night, night out with friends, or a simple dinner night. The bar tenders and servers are all extremely friendly and helpful. Food and full bar are amazing!!

Tia is amazing !! So friendly, informative & made my experience memorable, ask for Tia when you go !!

Cool spot with great food. A very generous bar. A double shot of anything is almost a full glass!

Food and drinks were great! Service was a little slow but it was packed house so understood! Overall great place to grab some dinner and drinks!

A chill place where I can hangout with my friends, the service is good and workers are really cool

Food served quickly, but little flavor, no spice. Used to be a great Thai restaurant. Mango and sticky rice was adequate, needed more coconut milk/cream, mango was barely ripe.
My daughter liked the Wasabi on the Sushi.

best service EVER. the male bartender staff 14/10 iykyk. would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ladies..maybe… leave your man at home.

The food and drinks were really good. The temperature in the building was unusually warm, which made it more difficult to enjoy the ambiance.

Great service, great food, great drinks, great atmosphere!!

Food was good but the service was terrible, not to mention the cocktail that i ordered, i couldn't drink it it was really really bad

I’ve been on two occasions, the first time, the bartender refused to serve me and my friends stating “he doesn’t do lines at the bar” which we felt was odd. We sat down and waited a bit before being served by a waiter named Katie who was phenomenal and definitely made up for the issues. Much of the staff besides Katie seemed annoyed and honestly, if I could I would give her 5 stars alone. However the drinks and the food were great. We decided to go again the next day, we waited a min before being seated, then once we were seated no one came to take our order for 20min. Or even check on us or give us water so we decided to just leave. All in all, I have heard great things about this place, yet both times I’ve been it hasn't been a great experience. The food is good and they have great drinks but the service is abysmal. Again Katie was amazing and honestly deserves a raise but I definitely won’t be back.

Amazing everything!!! Strongly recommend!

Food was great. I ordered a margarita. The bartender explained that he didn't have the mix. But he made his own and it was amazing.

loved my food and the waiter was friendly! ⭐️

Great little place for asian fusion.
Love the lemongrass soup.
Parking garage is right around the corner, and it's a good location on high street in my opinion.

I love lemon grass. I practically live here.

Cozy trendy atmosphere with great service and delicious selections. My favorites are the seafood Rangoon (soo good), pad Thai, miso soup and their varieties of sushi! Ooh not to mentioned their cocktails & mixed drinks are delicious as well. Totally recommend this place if you’re in town!

Welcoming atmosphere and staff. Food was definitely better than expected. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Great food, service was amazing. Highly recommend

Super mid Asian food. Perfect for the average midwesterner, but not for the more cultured. Keep in mind take out containers are plastic 1, not microwave safe.

Great place to eat fantastic beef Lo mein

Super good food and prices. Very nice surprise.

10 out of 10 I highly recommend. I had the chicken fried rice with the over sunny side-up egg wonderful delicious never disappointed, but I’m telling you if you wanna drink do not get the cherry blossom. If you do better call an Uber baby put me on the floor. This drink had me in a chokehold. I hope you get Ms. Tiyah her service was to die for and she’s the life of the party.

Visiting from out of state and ordered food for delivery. They charged me $18 for six tiny pieces of a roll with fake crab and tuna, plus $1 for the extra spicy mayo. There was more sauce than food. All that before taxes, delivery fee, and tip. I feel cheated!

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and patrons

Beware - Food Allergens
Ordered The Bowl and it tasted like peanut butter, but was advised there were no nuts in the entree when I asked the waiter. I was sick before we left the restaurant. When I called in to confirm what allergen was in The Bowl, I was told they could neither confirm nor deny that there was nuts in the meal. Then a manager attempted to convince me I must have eaten something else with nuts and it was clearly not their restaurant at fault.

One of my go to spots. The service is always the best parts to coming. I love a good happy hour but I don't think they're too pricey to come anytime of the week. I get it's a sushi or fusion bistro but I love the wings and the seafood Rangoon. To the point I'm stopping by at least once a week.

Great place, atmosphere and food!
We had the chicken wings, so good! Sampler plate was great!
Fried rice is a favorite. Pho is good and so is the pad Thai (added some soy). So yummy! Tia is an amazing server, she suggested great food and drinks. Jessie's roll was my husband's fav!

Great atmosphere and happy hour 9-11pm

Shiddy service bland food good sushi

Seated 5 mins before our reservation. Sat 15 minutes without any staff in sight to share that no server had greeted us nor taken drinks orders. shared our frustrations with staff and left after 25 minutes of no service. Will never return. We have had fine service with DoorDash but don’t. Want to give money to such a poor restaurant service

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to your establishment.

The sushi is disgusting. Terrible cocktails. I wonder how this place is still running.

This place has excellent food selections. And the service and drinks are always on point. I've been going there a couple years now and always have a great experience.

Rick was awesome Food was wonderful as well.

First time I ate here, and never again.
Everything is sour. The portions we got, they charged us $18 and were very small. Worth $8.
Do NOT waste your time with this fake “Asian bistro “ and go somewhere else. Place is wack!

Best eel I have ever tasted.

Would not recommend the dumplings they are so oilyyy ewww

It's a good place, but a little noisy for me...

3/24/24 Another delicious and wonderful birthday celebration for our son. The appetizers were especially delicious and they were easily able to accommodate our Vegan (with Shrimp yum!) and a Keto diner! We cannot wait to return again soon. Thank you Doe and our server Danella! Older Review: Delicious specialty drink... I'll call it "the Tia". We dined on a Saturday evening with a party of 11. The food, service, and staff were all excellent! I was the first to arrive and immediately the person at the stand greeted me with a smile and left to check on our table. The next person came up with a smile and asked if I needed help (I told them that the first person was checking on our table) ... then a third person came up to ask me if they could help! I cannot believe that so quickly the staff approached anyone in the 'waiting area' with a smile to ask if they needed help! We enjoyed the tuna tar tar, veggie dumplings, and sushi to start ... everyone enjoyed their meals (I had the salmon and my husband the Sole). Definitely recommend for a fun night out. Great service and food ... and drinks!

I honestly don't remember having service this slow and confused. We had a party of about 10 with a reservation. It took about 30 minutes after they sat us before anyone took our drink order. The drinks came out about 30 minutes later and that's when the server finally took our entrée order. It was busy, but not a crazy rush or anything - we saw our server standing around at times. An hour and a half after sitting down we got our entrées. Well, 2 of us did. The rest had to stare hungrily at them for another 20 minutes when they finally got theirs. (Except 2 people that didn't get their food at all. When we pointed that out, the server decided to cancel those 2 orders, which caused another delay because those people were really hungry at that point and were ready to resort to cannibalism.)

The food was good enough, but nothing to write home about. From what I ate, the sushi samplers were very good. But the Monsoon Tofu was fairly basic and missing flavor for a Thai curry compared to others I've had in town. The one other weird thing was that 2 people ordered Captain Morgan and Coke, but got drinks that definitely didn't smell or taste like they had Captain or any kind of rum in them.

I used to come to this place a ton years ago. I was excited when I came across it when we were planning a friend's birthday party and less excited when I had to apologize to everyone for suggesting it. A couple of friends that came said they had the same experience there a month earlier, but came anyway hoping it was an exception.

The restaurant was very loud on a Friday evening, but the food and service were outstanding.

Best wings I’ve ever had.

Good drinks and food. Enjoyed.

Very nice, fresh food, good location, and very good service. Will definitely visit again, need to try more items and the drinks looked interesting too. Next time for sure.

Great place to eat great customer service management is excellent. Food is wonderful fun place to be fun atmosphere go check it out.

Empty at lunch, should have been first sign. Mediocre service, friendly but slow. Soup was brought out after I was done with entrée. Broccoli with garlic was a generous portion but too sweet with no spice as you usually have with Chinese garlic sauce. Veggie dumplings were supposed to be pan fried but came out dry and shriveled.

We haven’t been here for a very long time. First time in the new location. The food and service was awesome. The only criticism I have is that I wish there was a little more flavor and spice in my pad thai. Would definitely go back.

Absolutely love it!!!

Good food good staff. If you are any sort of regular or even friend of regular the GM will remember you. Tables can get jammed up at times but it's worth it. I'm more a fan of the regular menu the sushi menu is ok for price point but dishes like jalapeño chicken are perfect 👌

Doe & Tia were our servers they great & the food was amazing I will definitely be coming back! 10 outta 10 the shrimp fried rice is fire

We should have read the recent reviews! What happened to this place? Service was abysmal and food was not what it uaed to be. So so sad.

This place has fallen from grace, sadly. Years ago it was among my favorite fine dining locations in the short north, but now it has traded quality food and service for a 'trendy' casual atmosphere with embarrassing decor. The food was bad - with the exception of the lemongrass soup which was quite good. We didn't even drink our one mixed drink due to the taste.

Good bang for your buck

I went for a friends birthday celebration on Wednesday night . There were 8 of us which yes is a bigger party. But it was also a slow Wednesday night . Service was horrible. Server was rude. Our drinks came out all at different times , I was given the wrong cocktail and half way through drinking it the server came back and took it from me to bring me the right one and didn’t even apologize for the mistake . As if he was blaming me for drinking what he set in front of me ! Our food came out at all different times. Portions were small and over priced . None of us really loved the food. This was a birthday and the energy was so poor. The server had nothing nice to say . To top it off we all had 20% gratuity added to our checks automatically. It feels a little wrong this wasn’t disclosed. And before you say it’s stated on the menu … we had no menuss !!! You HAVE to scan and order from your phone. Bad experience . Very dissapointed. Would like a refund !

Fantastic service, great atmosphere and delicious food. Had a great time with my family.

First time going here and the service was unfortunately really bad. We didn’t even end up eating here bc no one ever came to give us a menu. We were waiting 15-20mins for someone to come over to our table to wait on us there were not busy at all… never got a menu … really weird vibes so we just left ! Disappointed

Didn't have everything I ordered for pickup in the bag

What happened to this place? Used to be one of the best spots in the Short North. We waited 40 minutes for our drinks (watched them sitting on the bar) and had to get up multiple times to track down our server who was in the back on his phone. When we finally got our food, shrimp was cold and undercooked (grey, translucent). Had to track down server for check and finally, 2 hours later, went home with upset stomachs and a genuine disappointment in the experience.

Service was super slow. I was sitting for almost 10 min before someone finally got my order. I ordered a hot Sake and got it ~20 min later after I got my appetizers. I asked for Sriracha and an Asian fusion bistro didn't have that... but the server said she'd get me chili oil instead. Another 20 min later, I got my entry, still no chili oil. I asked her again, and I finally got it just before I finished my meal. But hey, she said she was sorry.

The food was mediocre to just straight up terrible. For the price, you expect it to be a significantly better.

We planned on dining in but it took so long to get service and then our beers and food, that we boxed it up and brought it home. The food was absolutely delicious

Great food and great servers.

I had high expectations, and was looking forward to eating at Lemongrass Fusion Bistro for quite a long time. Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed and let down.

So sorry to leave a negative review, I had high hopes and looked forward to this. Unfortunately there weren't any redeeming traits.

This is the 4th time I've attempted to order lemongrass through doordash in the last month where the restaurant never makes my meal and lies to the doordash driver and tells them it was taken by someone else. I think the kitchen gets lazy at night and doesn't wanna cook meals. Took a half hour with customer service on doordash to get a refund that I won't see for a week. Lemongrass doesn't care about delivery orders at all.

I don’t know how this place isn’t packed out the door all the time. Their crab Rangoon is out of this world! Chicken Pad Thai is for sure the best of the best and staff makes the entire experience too notch!

Love the art and the food. Excellent service. Try the Korean Kimchi Noodles, I am glad I did!

Good food and reasonable prices.

Tasty food and not too loud which was a pleasant surprise. Enjoyed the seafood dish I had, and my friend's salad was great too!

A great meal! Every dish was delightful and we left completely full and satisfied

Deep fried Crab Rangoons are SOAKED in noodle broth just so it would get soggy. WHAT, THE, F? The rest of the food was horrible too :(

I rarely write reviews. Having spent years working in kitchens and restaurants I understand places have off nights, but I don’t think that was the case here.

The service was the poorest I’ve received in years - we waited 15 minutes to be spoken to after we sat and saw our waitress twice in an hour and a half.

That didn’t matter because the food was inedible. The sashimi fish we ordered as an app was old/wrong and of VERY low quality. I pivoted to Kimchi noodles for the entree and was surprised when I was served instant ramen noodles on a plate with 4 pieces of cabbage. My wife got the chicken teriyaki - which was unseasoned except for the “chicken” which I’m almost certain was precooked out of a store bought freezer bag. 90 dollar tab.

Astonishingly bad, go anywhere else.

Great food.

Food was bland no flavor. My food was dropped off lukewarm at best I almost said can you microwave this instead I jus ate my meal and left

I did not like the food service was OK nothing special at all would not go back and I'm a review guy this is not it place to go for good food period point blank Dave portnoy 1.2 that's it

Terrible place to eat !

Horrible place to eat close this joke down go elsewere

I was excited to give lemon grass a try. I did not expect slow service. My scallops were very fishy tasting like they were rotten. Will never come back again the fishy smell jus grossed me out go to sow plated they have what your looking for......

On my quest to try every pho in Columbus.

This wasn't bad. It tasted good, I will say that, it was a delicious bowl of soup. But it didn't quite have that deep beefy flavor a good bowl of pho has, and while I could taste the herbs, the spices (clove, cinnamon, ginger, anise, coriander seeds, cardamom) weren't quite coming through. Also not a fan of how they put the hoisin and sriracha in the bowl itself instesd of giving it to you on the side-- hoisin is what you use to disguise a mediocre bowl of pho. The beef was tough.

My partner's pad thai was pretty tasty, but they got spice level 3 and we didn't taste any spice at all 😂

My friend got the zucchini tofu, and he said it was delicious. I got a taste of the sauce, and it was a wonderful thai curry, good coconut milk flavor.

We also had some veggie spring rolls. Very tiny portions ($5 for two tiny fried spring rolls???) but they smelled incredible and tasted pretty good.

Service was super slow but friendly. Overall not a bad experience, but if I want good viet food, I'd head to Lieu's or Huong's.

Excellent service, friendly and polite. Food was tasty and unique. Plenty of choices for any taste. Tempura shrimp wrap was great. Bento lunch was plenty and good. Miso soup was very tasty except the toasted tofu inside the soup. Salad and the ginger dressing was wonderful.
Sashimi was fresh and delicate

I'm very disappointed in the Shrimp Pad Thai it's wasn't spicy and had way too many bean sprouts and the veggies egg rolls weren't good either. I spent $25 dollars and it was wasted.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful on the inside, mixed with friendly service, great drinks, and even better food, make restaurant my new sushi spot!!

Great sushi. Was not very busy on a Tuesday night.

The food was literally gross. I feel sick just thinking about it. We got the fried rice and chicken teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce was not normal and honestly just made the dish inedible. The side of white rice was all I could stomach on the plate. The fried rice was like the bland rice and chicken that I feed to my dog when he’s sick. The meat was bland, unseasoned, plain boiled meat. I cannot describe enough how disgusting it was. We went with a group of 10, and we all left hungry and disappointed because we all hated our meals. Spend your money literally anywhere else. Even Panda Express has better fried rice. I still feel nauseous and grossed out just thinking about the rubbery, room-temp, boiled chicken and beef, plastic-looking fried egg, and teriyaki chicken with bell peppers that looks like it came in a freezer meal. I am 100% sure these meals were not freshly made, and they didn’t even spend a long enough time microwaving them because it was still cold/room temperature.

The service was so-so. We had a reservation and when we got there our table wasn’t ready even though the restaurant was basically empty. The hostess told us to wait while she set it up, but then someone else told us to go back to our table, so we did, and then the hostess scolded us for going back before she was ready. Our waiter was nice but slow on refills, never brought out the spicy Mayo we asked for (we needed it to cover up the awful taste of the food), and messed up our check. The atmosphere wasn’t great, there was 1 menu on our table that was just printed on some printer paper and stapled together, and overall just not cute/not good vibes. Go to any other restaurant in Columbus PLEASE.

I would avoid this place!!! The food not only expensive but absolutely inedible !! We went for dinner yesterday and when the food came out it looked like it was made from a frozen boxed dinner. The fried rice with the trio of meat looked like it was boiled food for a dogs meal. All the meat looked gray, had no season, and was extremely cold on the plate. Those who got the teriyaki meals couldn’t get past the nasty overpowering taste of the sauce. The ”fresh” sushi had brown avocado and was bland. Only edible thing was the Rangoons. No one in our group ate more than a couple bites and the bills per 2 people ranged from 60-120 dollars. Please avoid giving places like this your money especially when Columbus has so many other amazing food options on the same street. YOU WILL BE SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED HERE.

The fried rice had beef and chicken that was lukewarm. It had no seasoning and was just very bland. Overall just not a great experience.

I love their rice noodles with shrimp wantons. Very tasty.

This is my second time visiting Lemongrass despite the mediocre customer service the first time, because the food is delicious. My classmate and I were celebrating, and the young lady/greeter was so very unpleasant from the very beginnjng, and Mitchell, our server, wasn't much better with his lack of attentiveness. I arrived just as they opened, observing they were still cleaning up. Once the "greeter" opened the door, I asked if I could step in just for air, while giving them space to still clean and setup, although the opening hours and my reservations was 11:30am. I stood there for almost 6 minutes without any real greeting or courtesy check on my reservations. We stayed for our meal/celebration and had a good time for 3 hours. During that time, there were no more than a dozen customers in and out, yet our service was consistently slow and dismissive.

Too bad. I love the food but would never revisit again or recommend Lemongrass to others.

My absolute favorite restaurant, and i go frequently! Food & drinks are amazing, staff is very friendly!

Drinks and service were great

Great food and environment

You turned down a vet and his service dog. You broke the law, I hope he sued yall.

Management seems to be ignorant of federal law regarding disability rights and service dog access.

Love that they have good drink options as well as food. Nice atmosphere, and late night happy hour was a plus!

Yummy food and when I went 2 different times with my service dog there were no issues

Music was a little loud but that may be a personal opinion

Really? Going against ADA for service dogs? Seen the proof myself. You all should know better.

Refuses to adhere to ADA guidelines and extremely rude to veterans. Absolutely do not support this business. eat elsewhere

Denied a disabled veteran service. Said they won’t adhere to ADA. Oh, then the bartender called the police on us for trying to assert our rights. Fun! Of course the police did nothing. 😂

Okay, Google...I never leave reviews (trust me, feel free to fact-check), so obviously, this experience had me shook... so here we go.

I came into the bar tonight with my buddy for $5 whiskeys. Everything was going great until I had mentioned to my friend how much admiration I had for Japanese people regarding their hard work ethic, exceptional discipline, various other positive traits, etc. Unprompted, the bartender decides to chime in on the conversation by saying how much these "people" have a messed-up personal life and a ton of sexual perversion issues.

My friend and I were obviously taken aback by these racist remarks but did our best to relax the situation. I told the bartender that I had Asian relatives, but he dismissed this and walked away.

About 10 minutes later, we received our checks. We didn't ask for the checks. I double-checked with my buddy to make sure I wasn't delusional. We were at a bar, having drinks, and generally enjoying ourselves... but were clearly being asked to leave.

We didn't make a scene, but we were obviously perturbed by the whole situation. You would think that the Short North, of all places, would be receptive to people of various cultures and backgrounds. To be honest, I think this was my first experience ever of being asked... without words... to leave a bar.

We didn't cause any trouble, bother other patrons, or do anything else to receive this sort of treatment. Just beware... if you come into Lemongrass... you better not say anything nice about Japanese people 🇯🇵

We'll start with positives, The waiter was friendly and attentive, and the seafood rangoon was genuinely good. That's where the positives end. Upon walking into the restaurant it smelled like rotten fish.
The lack of physical menus is very annoying.
Ordered the fried rice by recommendation of our waiter. The meat that came in our dish looked as if it was over cooked in boiling water. All the meats were overcooked and gray. The flavor of the dish wasn't inedible, but I have certainly had significantly better. What really bothers me more than anything, two orders of fried rice, one order of seafood ragoon (which was four pieces) and a single coke. My bill came to over $60 with tip. For the quality of food I was served, I feel absolutely ripped off. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our one-year anniversary... Our day was amazing, this was a rather large speed bump in the day that I would prefer to forget.

Love this place. Food and service is excellent!

Went there with a group. Food was ok, service was ok. Then they charged me twice for my not cheap bill. After some back and forth with management (who was polite), they partially refunded me and told me they couldn't refund the rest, but I could have a gift card, lol! I mean what??? I'm baffled how a business can take someone's money, when they shouldn't have, and then just not give it back. Use cash if you go there.

Delicious food, server was very helpful even though it was very busy.

Went in on July 5, 2023 and was told to sit down. Waited 20 minutes and no waiter. Spoke to hostess and they sought the waiter, then nothing. We decided to leave, so when you consider the owner was chatting away with other patrons, the hostess was doing nothing, and the waiter was not to be found.

Honestly was annoyed that they wouldn’t work as a team, so they lost business.

Lemongrass is so good! Great menu, amazing service … but it’s loud. Not a deal-breaker, but it was noticeable. Everything we ordered was top-notch and we were very well taken care of by staff. Would go again!

Great vibe, great service, food is excellent and extremely tasty. Highly recommend the Mango Sticky Rice for desert!!❤️

Found some really delicious vegan food here. Zucchini bowl and veggie dumplings. Super yummy 🤤

The food was delicious, the space was relaxed, and the service was prompt and welcoming. All in all, great place!

Great place! I got the tofu zukini rice and it is both filling and delicious. 10/10!! I love the veriety of vegetarian options. The waitress was also amazing 😍

Overall disappointing since it was cute going in. Food was ok. Took about half an hour for some of the food and drinks we ordered to come out. The scallops were good but not worth the price (2 scallops and potatoes). Soup was good. Dumplings were not great. Chicken wings were dry. Ended up being in the restaurant for 2.5 hours due to slow service on a Thursday evening. After being seated it took our waitress half an hour to take our order after we had to flag down another waitress to get our own. The entire order never came out over the course of 2.5 hours despite business slowing from moderately busy to maybe half full. The waitress never came over to check on the table without us asking another waitress to get her. Got a water refill once from a waitress who was not our own. We ended up not receiving about 6 of the items we ordered for 4 people. 3 of 4 drinks were very overpoured and undrinkable, so they were left untouched. Took 40 mins to get the check, which was not correct so we had to send them back. Also they automatically added 20% gratuity to our party of 4, which we were unaware of and could not find anything on the website about so be aware when paying the check if you do go here. The music they played was nice though. Really carried us through for that 2.5 hours.

Waited forever for food that was below average and not what was described on the menu. Waited 30 minutes to order drinks. Service was POOR. Avoid.

Awesome food, drinks, service.
Loved it all
