LemonGrass Thai is Chattanooga's newest Thai restaurant, offering a variety of dishes!
I love LemonGrass Thai! When we walked in we were immediately directed to be seated at a table of our choice. I have been to this restaurant before and the staff is amazing and very friendly. I have been wanting to try the Thai tea for a while now, and it did not disappoint! It was very flavorful and not overly sweet. I also had the Chicken Chow Fun and it was delicious and succulent. If you are ever in the area I would highly recommend coming to this wonderful establishment!
As usual, hwy 24 coming into Chattanooga was backed up as usual, and I was super hungry. After hiking all afternoon, I needed food to refuel. I got off the Cummings Hwy because I was going to the Mexican restaurant in the same strip mall but found this place on the end and had to try it.
I walked in and asked if they had gluten-free options. The staff were very friendly and helpful so I had to stay to eat. The options I chose were the padi with tofu as the meat. The tofu were larger than most Thai restaurants and lots of ground nuts.
The food came out super fast and was very warm from being cooked fresh on the spot. I had to watch myself to cool the food before eating.
The only negative was that the food had too much salt or something in it, but it was still good and filling. It hit the spot, and when I got back on the highway, traffic was moving a lot faster, so I was happy I stopped to eat.
Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes
Would I return? Yes
Updated for 2024: Even better than I remember! All 4 entrees came out at the same time and were delicious!
2023: Great, fast service! Everything was served hot.
Our five meals did not all come out together, but 1 or 2 at a time.
We enjoyed the veggie fried spring rolls and noodle dishes, all with tofu: pad Thai, pad see eew and spicy noodles. Would preferred more veggie next time!
This place was amazing! The food was super fresh and very tasty. The menu had a nice selection of dishes with a variety of protein sources. My only regret is that I didn’t order a second meal to take home for lunch tomorrow!!!
We found this restaurant on a whim while working nearby. We ordered the tom kha and beef & chicken fried rice. They were very very tasty the soup was very nicely balanced and the rice was moist and flavorful. So much so thaat we went twice in 2 days. Will definitely go back
Decided to try the food here due to my usual thai restaurant being closed! This will definitely be my new go to spot! The Rangoons were the best I've had and the pannang chicken curry was so flavorful. When my husband tried mine he actually went back and got the red chicken curry which was also wonderful, kind of like the pannang with more spice! Will definitely be back! 👌🤩
So kind and a family owned business. The boys that are there helping their grandfather are precious. I hope this place prospers more than it has!!! The food is freshly made and absolutely amazing!!!!
Fast service and excellent Thai cooking!

Best Thai food in Chattanooga!
Great food, great service!
The curry was amazing and the service was quick
Good food. One of several restaurants we dine in when we have to go to the big city. Music is a bit on the loud side and geared towards the young people who work the front. Brown rice is not on the menu.
The pad thai is pretty good for lookout valley...
What a great hidden gem in Chattanooga! We could not get over how wonderful the food, speed of cooking, and service was. I don’t think we even waited 5 minutes for food to start being delivered to the table once we ordered. The spring rolls & chicken satay were hot and delicious. The Tom yum soup was perfectly balanced in flavor. The pad se ew was super flavorful and even more amazing the next day. We will definitely stop by again when we’re in Chattanooga.
Good food fast and hot! Nice service good prices not a fancy place.
We were on vacation in the area. The food and people here were so good we ate here three times.
The food was really good and the service was excellent!!! Thanks guys!!!
월남국수에 돼지고기를 넣어주는 곳.... 메뉴에는 소고기라 써있지만...
Ate lunch here this week for the first time and loved it! Nice little place that was clean, inviting, and well staffed. The server was very friendly and quick to offer detailed recommendations when asked. Ended up getting the Pho and it was excellent! Also tried a bite of my friend’s Pad Thai and it was great as well. Will be back soon to try other dishes.
I drive 30 minutes to go here it's always amazing
I called and ordered 3 dinners. 2 was ok but mine wasn't how I ordered it. I ordered garlic delight beef with no broccoli- med heat. What I got was chicken (which I do not eat with Thai) and it had broccoli on it (an already to it). Also no heat or spicy.Needless to say, I couldn't eat the meal.
Food was incredible. Came out within 5 minutes of ordering and it was piping hot. Absolute flawless experience.
Delicious Pho broth, umami, slightly sweet, refreshing broth. Quick service, nice atmosphere. Highly recommend it.
Clean cozy place and the best pho soup.
Best Thai! Friendly, fast, hot, delicious! Generous portions with lots of tasty protein in every bite! I recommend this restaurant very highly.
Wife and I stopped here after visiting Lookout Point. Great food !! The Pad Thai was excellent, great flavor. We also had the Masaman which was almost as good as the Pad Thai. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere welcoming.
Delish! Tried 3 diff items on menu the chicken pho and the tofu pad Thai and red coconut curry! Very good and quick service and attentive! Excellent peanut sauce and other spicy sauces! They have jasmine tea!
Wow! Great curry, great service.
Amazing food and service I do recommend
Good was fantastic - we had Pad See Ew and spring rolls - it was perfect! Staff was funny and very helpful! Service was awesome and we will definitely come back again!
I am sorry to say, I really don't know where all of these 4 and 5 stars came from. There was no taste. The pannang curry came out looking more like soup. The pad Thai was just OK. We asked for medium spice and it didn't have any spice. I really had high hopes because we have been looking for a good Thai restaurant.

It was so good that i considered moving here but since i am on vacation i could not.. i could even say that its better than my hometowns thai restaurant, it deserves a 10 star, if i could rate it that, i would
Liked thai red curry. Fast service.
Plenty of parking.. nice staff. Great food.. super fast service. Dine in or take away
The food was delicious 🔥
Very good 👍👍👍
I have never written a review for a restaurant before. Not my thing.
But this Place deserves all the praise possible. In my wife’s words “it’s a spiritual experience” eating here.
We are from Chattanooga but have moved to Fl . We still have family here so we visit often. We are so excited to find this wonderful restaurant ! The atmosphere is extremely friendly and with good vibe. The owner is kind. The food was outstanding! There were seven of us and everyone was pleased with their selection! We had dessert and they were all wonderful !! Again, this place offers great fresh food with an at home friendly feel! I highly recommend!!!❤️
Owners was super with us
Highly recommend
The people working here are great and very helpful they gave me some fried dumplings that were amazing if you are in the area please stop by and try some amazing food!!!!!! 🔥
Amazing food and great service! Looking forward to the next trip!
Great food, very clean, help full on questions on items on the menu. Fast ,good food!
Fast, friendly service! Food is amazing! Great atmosphere as well!
The staff was so friendly. The food was superb 👌 I would definitely come back next time I am in the area!
The food is amazing!
My wife got the Red curry and she told me it was the best she's had in the US.
When we come back to the are we will be buying from them again!
Great traditional Thai food. This restaurant is becoming popular and was recommended by friends. The food was delicious.
Food was ok ok. Salt levels bit high, and the challenge with not having plates and silver ware to be called out .. felt like they didn’t want to give us some extra plates
The food here is amazing!! Spiced just right and full of flavor! Highly recommend! We had the chicken satay, beef pad see eew, beef and shrimp lo mein and thai tea.
Great food and service.
Very good food
Great food and service I loved the Pho
This was my first visit, but hopefully not my last!
Great Thai food. Very clean dining room. Fast, friendly service by Tyler. Highly recommend!
Service is always excellent, and the food is fast and delicious. Definitely a highlight in Lookout Valley.
Amazing food. Food was cooked to order. I loved the red curry and spicy basil noodles. Crab rangoons and dumplings were awesome! I have enjoyed it every time I’ve gone.
A+ is highly recommended. Food is Excellent!
Take out food was absolutely awful, shrimp lo mein was flavorless and not seasoned, noodles were super soggy like they was cooked hours ago and the spicy shrimp rice was spicy but flavor just tasted like burnt rice, will not be going back.
Great little place. I had the curry which was spiced perfectly for me not to hot but a little kick. We tried the crab ragoons, spring rolls, and chicken satay they were all very good. My girlfriend got chicken lo mein which was good the veggies were fresh and lots of flavor.
The price was good for the quality of food.
Our personal favorite. We keep coming back for more

This place is amazing! They have the best steamed dumplings I’ve ever had from a Thai restaurant
My family and I enjoyed everything about this restaurant. The service was prompt, knowledgeable, and polite. The environment is cozy and clean. The food was wonderful. The pho was the best I have had. The red and green curry were delicious as well as the shrimp fried rice. If you’re looking for a charming experience give these guys a try.
The staff were amazing! And the food is so delicious.
Great service, amazing food. I usually go for the green curry but they're all good!
I won't rate lower than a 4, because ultimately its a local business and their food has a really good flavor at a reasonable price point. I need to voice a glaring concern of mine though. When I eat Thai food, I want it spicy! Everytime I go here, I always ask "please make it as spicy as possible. Thai Hot!" And it literally never has any heat to it, at all. It would be fine if when I asked they said "Sorry, we only do one spice level." That would be fine but they don't. They say "Ok!" And when they bring it out they say "This is extra spicy! Be careful." And it just isn't. Its like they're trying to create a placebo effect because they're incapable of making food spicy, but don't want to tell me no.
My company does a monthly catered lunch and this month we chose LemonGrass Thai. This was the best food we have ever had. So good!
Worth giving a try. We had the chicken fried rice and the vegetable rolls great quality food.
Best place Hands down in lookout valley to eat, a hidden gym. I’ll definitely be here wayyyy more often. Who knew this much flavor was in lookout valley lol
Everything here is fresh, hot, and delicious. Satisfying portions and proper flavor in every dish. Spiciness levels are always on point to warm you up on a cold day. Their soups are some of the best I've had. Definitely made with a love for good food.
Delicious fried rice! Best and least expensive meal we had on our vacation! We will definitely be back!
Great food, the food is super authentic and tasty. Had the beef pho and loved it. Usually, pho at a Thai place is meh, but here was actually good. Kids had pad thai, and they loved it. My wife had panag curry and said it's the best she's ever had at a restaurant. Definitely recommend. The owner and staff were superb.
Food wasn't seasoned enough
Food tastes great, but it is only loosely related to the menu. I ordered the green curry with tofu, which the menu says comes with eggplant, bamboo shoots, carrots, bell peppers, cilantro, and basil. The server did not mention that they were out of eggplant, bamboo shoots, cilantro, and basil, so it came with onion, broccoli, peas, and snap peas, none of which I'm allowed to eat due to food restrictions.
A great find for this area with too few choices in a variety of dishes.
Food is great, get it to go, its always to cold in the place.
Loved the Thai spice!!!
Unbelievable food. Beautiful atmosphere. Caring owner.
Get a fresh coconut!
Most amazing and flavorful Thai restaurant I have ever been to. The owner is amazing the food is amazing there's really no reason to go anywhere else.
THIS PLACE!!!!!!! Oh my God, the medium rice had the perfect heat. I also love their Thai tea. Also everyone at this place is super nice and friendly. I can't stress to order your meal with the suggested protein choice available for each meal, it's definitely thought out and perfectly tuned for the perfect flavors. I ALWAYS SEND MY WORK BUDDIES AND OTHERS HERE. BEST THAI I HAVE EVER HAD!
Amazing food. Amazing service. Highly recommend.
My husband and I are truck drivers and always looking for good food. We'll, this is the place. Great Service, Excellent food, and Good atmosphere to be a small restaurant. We will definitely come back if in the area.
Food was very good and the staff was very nice
I had dinner at Lemon grass last night. I was promptly served and taken care of. The food was out quickly and piping hot.
The best local food we've had in a very long time. The fried rice, cashew delight and everything else we tried was delicious.
I had the Pad Thai (Shrimp & Chicken combo) and it was very good. The portion was a good size and the price was good. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and the waiter was professional and courteous. I travel a lot and eat quite a bit of Asian food across this country and if I would definitely come back to Lemon Grass Thai for a second visit. Thank you for the excellent dining experience.
Good overall. Management not terribly focused on customer service. Gluten free folks, beware. They don't really know what a gluten is.
Quick and good. The pho was a little small for 15 bucks but it's enough to fill you up. 5 stars no
Delicious food, reasonable prices, and quick, friendly service
Got me some good ole pad thai along with some thai tea for takeout today, it was ready in 10 minutes, food was great and everyone was friendly.
3 - not bad
Overpriced mediocre take on Thai, the red curry was very watery and no real flavor.
Great food. Fast and extremely friendly service.
The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is clean and cheerful.
good food and super fast service
The chicken fried rice, crispy spring rolls, chicken satay and dumplings are amazing! My husband always gets the pho and loves it - and he's very picky about his pho. Very tasty!!
Excellent food!
Vegetarian here. I ordered the spicy basil noodles with tofu and no egg. It was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend and will be ordering again soon!
We are visiting the area and found LemonGrass Thai near our hotel. The reviews were good. My younger kids got steamed dumplings and shrimp lo mein. I had Panang curry with shrimp (pictured). Husband and son ordered Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. All were incredible and we ate every bit.
Not very good unfortunatly, siracha was watered down along with other sauces, food sub par taste.
The food was terrible. I ordered the pho, because I was craving for some nourishing broth. I know what pho is supposed to taste like, and that was nothing like it. The broth wasn’t even the packaged pho seasoning, it was mostly msg, because I was waking up dying of thirst last night. They told me the soup has beef in it, but it was a white meat, looked and tasted like pork. That was about the worst Asian food experience in my life, I didn’t feel good after eating that, my mouth was so dry. Don’t fall for the trap, go somewhere else.
We ordered out. The food was ready for pickup in less than 10 minutes. Everything was delicious! The service was very friendly as well. Great experience!
Tried this place out! We are new to the area from Las Vegas…we love Thai food. Omg! The food was pretty damn good for a little hole in the wall place. We will definitely return-
We tried the Fresh Basil Rolls with shrimp 6/10
And the boyfriend had the Spicy Basil Stir Fry with chicken & I had the same but with beef. He also tried the Tom Ka soup. Everything was really good & the service was amazing!
Nice stop when travelling from Knoxville to Birmingham or anywhere through Chattanooga, right off 24. Fast, friendly, clean, tasty...forget fast food and stop here!
I got the chicken Pad Thai and dumplings. The pad Thai was really good and authentic. The dumplings weren’t the typical dumplings I was accustomed to so they were not my favorite, but they were still really good. Definitely suggest this place.
LemonGrass Thai Restaurant is a wonderful place to get some very savory and tasty food that's not your normal, every day grub. I always have the red curry, and I would have uploaded a photo of this delicious dish, but it was so good, I couldn't wait to eat it long enough to take a picture of it. We have been to Lemongrass twice now. The food has been sincerely amazing and fresh, the staff is friendly and efficient and the restaurant is nice and clean. I can't stuff this tasty food in my face fast enough.
It's just that good. Delicious is a serious understatement. It's reasonably priced for the food quality and I am already looking forward to my next visit. You WILL NOT regret giving this place a try.
Food was very good. The sweet tea could have used some big help.
Great Thai food, friendly staff, clean environment, and excellent Thai coffee….what else could one ask for??!
Great tasting food
Great food, great service, good size portions and flavor.
Great food! I especially enjoyed the green curry.
Great Thai food! The Panang curry and garlic stir fry were amazing! Not very spicy but we asked for the Thai chilies and were able to make everything our desired spicy level.
Awesome little hidden gem.
Food was delicious, got the beef pho and chicken satay. Friendly staff. Will definitely make it a regular when going through Chattanooga.
Friendly staff, great food
Ordered Spicy Basil Noodle and spice level Thai Hot with a side of Tom Yum Soup. Really good taste, excellent service and very neat environment. The basil noodle quantity was fulfilling and tom yum noodle had a lot of shrimps! I would visit LemonGrass Thai again if I ever visit Ruby Falls!
Rice was fresh, cheerful staff
Good food, friendly staff, and quick service. Your typical thia flavor and served to your taste buds - mild, medium, and thai hot spice level.
Food is well made. Curry is a little watery compared to the regular Thai curry. The place is clean and well maintained, including the restrooms.
The food and the service was amazing, from appetizers to entrees. The BEST Thai in the Chattanooga area. You can tell they take pride in the food they served.
Great little place we found on a road trip through Chattanooga, TN. Food was very tasty but came out 1 meal at a time. Service was great and very friendly.
Great Thai food. The staff are very kind and helpful. Large portions of food and very clean!!!
Best Thai food around this area.
The tai tea is AMAZING. Ive had many tai tea and its the best I’ve had.The satay and dumplings were very good. The wings were kinda mid could use more flavor. The curry and the lo mein were good but lacking something we couldn’t put a finger on. We could only describe it as very clean tasting. Definitely not the oily take out taste we were looking for. The sauce’s could be improved but the staff was absolutely amazing. So kind and so thoughtful. They were quick and very helpful about the menu. Will come back to try more!
I didn't come for a fine atmosphere, I came for good Thai food... And it is good.
Delicious food, great service, reasonable prices.
Food so good it will raise your vibrations.
we were in town and stopped by and wasn’t disappointed at all!! we got 2 appetizers and it came out quick! also the portions are spot on.
why i didnt give it a 5 star, is bc i do think they dont add enough protein. my pad thai had 3 shrimps with maybe 5 pieces of chicken & my husbands combo plate had 2 shrimps the beef & chicken were decent amount.
We were out of towners looking for a healthy ish lunch to eat before our next tourist trap. So we were in the mood for some curry. We ordered spring rolls and they came out almost immediately. Shortly after a couple of bites, our entrees came out. Kind of tells me nothing was actually cooked, only warmed up. We were the only ones there, so they weren’t in a rush. The spring rolls were a but chewy and not fully warm in the middle. The tofu was over fried and the peppers undercooked. The carrots were really squishy while the peas… the peas were practically crunchy. Really gross to be honest.
I don’t usually use Google to review places but I’m surprised this place had so many reviews. Maybe just a bad day?
Service good , Thai tea even better def would recommend because everything is delicious
Awesome. Out of town visiting and this place hit the spot. Small restaurant but the staff were super friendly when I came in for my take out order. Will definitely eat here again next time I’m in town.
