Got the small sweet and sour chicken soup and massaman curry. Both were really good, the soup was thick and has tofu and chicken. The curry was good, creamy and thick. Ordered an extra side of rice to finish off the curry, total was around $24. My only complaint is for the curry, I ordered extra hot and it was only mildly spicy to me. Other than this, the service and atmosphere were too notch.

I had some of the best Thai food I've ever tried at this place, this place was suggested by my friend. I truly enjoyed every bite — the flavors were incredible. We ordered the basil fried rice, and it was absolutely amazing. I'm still craving it and can't wait to go back. Definitely one of the best Thai food experiences I've had in the USA!

The atmosphere is cozy, and the food was fantastic. I had the drunken noodles, and they absolutely lived up to the hype; they were flavorful, had a great texture, and just plain tasty. I also tried some of their crab rangoons, which are in a spring roll format, and those were excellent (I actually prefer their style over the traditional wrapping). Would highly recommend this place if you like Thai food!

Went here on a recommendation. It's in a small unassuming strip mall but walking up you're hit with the delicious aroma. Walking in, it's small but well appointed and clean. Service was prompt and friendly. We got crab rangoons, Pad Khing chicken mild and Peanut curry chicken hot. Portions were generous, quickly served and absolutely delicious. The ingredients were quality and spices and flavors were balanced. The crab rangoons were made with real crab and in a small spring roll style which was unique. You can tell they're good because the business was very steady and even though they were busy, things moved efficiently. 3 people ate dinner for under $50. We will be back.

Lemongrass is a cozy little spot that’s been around for years — and for good reason! It’s my coworkers’ go-to, and now one of mine too. I’ve been for both lunch and dinner (lunch is my fave — shoutout to that complimentary soup!). Every dish was packed with flavor, and the service was just as amazing. Took my friends along too, and they all loved it. A true hidden gem!

Saw a review about the Red Curry and Mango Sticky Rice — and man, it was on point! The Red Curry with shrimp (medium spice) was absolutely perfect. It was seasoned beautifully and just straight-up delicious. And the Mango Sticky Rice… where do I even start? It was incredibly comforting — like a warm hug in dessert form. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great place to dine in if you can find a table. This is a small strip mall location with limited space. You can easily call in an order for pickup if needed. This is located near large business so lunch time is very busy. Portions are large and easy to share.

Last night was a bit hungry, and they told me thats a lot of food for 1 person. I ordered, the Papaya Salad, Tom Yum Soup, and Pad Thai all with frid tofu, and was soooo good. Looking forward to returning.
