This place is a GEM! One of the top ten dining experiences of my life. Everything from the wine list to the service to the food to the ambiance was 10/10. Dined on the oysters, sashimi, NY strip, curry special (can’t remember the name) and two desserts. It truly is an existential treat for your pallet. Ethan and Billy are top notch when it comes to service and detail. I will forever be coming back here.

Amazing food and service. Our waiter Charles was awesome. We were a group of 6 and all the items were delicious. Special mention to the desserts, must try!

Great location, service and food. We loved the shrimp dumplings and chicken/shrimp in red and green curries. The mango ice cream is a must try.

Lemongrass has always been exceptional and one of my go-to favorites, and it never disappoints. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and made with high-quality, fresh ingredients. The ambiance is warm and elevated, perfect for any occasion. This time, I had the Lobster Khao Soi, and it was next level. It was rich, comforting, and truly unforgettable. The attention to detail is clear from presentation to taste. Hands down, one of the best spots around.

The drinks are really strong so be careful because you might leave with a permanent smile. I totally forgot what we ordered but the drinks were off the special menu. We shared chicken satay, spring rolls and the main course meal of the duck. It was enough for the two of us.

We came for Syracuse dining week and the food did not disappoint! Chicken satay, green curry, bankok beef, and short rib were all excellent. DO NOT miss dessert. The bread pudding was delicious. Beautiful atmosphere, attentive staff and excellent service. We will definitely be back!

Lemon Grass Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience, elevated by its highly professional and knowledgeable staff. The individual who took our order demonstrated remarkable expertise, sharing fascinating stories behind each dish and offering insightful recommendations with warmth and intelligence. His guidance led us to some of the finest selections on the menu, including an exquisite fish as main and tart that stood out as a highlight among the desserts. Every element of the meal was thoughtfully curated, and the wine pairing, suggested by the staff, complemented our dishes perfectly. The combination of outstanding service, refined flavors, and an inviting atmosphere made for an unforgettable evening.

My wife and I took advantage of the start of Downtown Dining Week 2024 and enjoyed a 3-course meal at Lemon Grass, and overall had a great experience. The value you get during dining week is excellent, but I can't speak to their standard prices. That said, everything we had was delicious and as much a joy for the eyes as they were for our taste buds. We went on a Saturday night (again, during Dining Week), so the restaurant was completely full, and the entire service staff was constantly busy. In spite of that, our waters were constantly refilled throughout the night, and our food came out in a very timely fashion - we never felt like the meal was lasting too long. When we finished our meal, our waitress even let us know that we were more than welcome to hang out at our table to watch the end of the Syracuse basketball game, which while we didn't take her up on it, spoke to the hospitality of the staff. My only (minor) complaint was that it was rather loud in the first dining area, but that's too be expected on a busy Saturday night in the room that includes the bar seating. The food, as always, was outstanding. Each dish had an impressive depth and nuance of flavor that made each bite exciting. The highlight for us was the Green Curry Beef - the cinnamon basil and Thai chili curry sauce was to die for, with a perfect amount of heat so as to not overpower and take away from the intended flavor itself. Lastly, a pro-tip: do NOT skip out on dessert here. Every option is hand-crafted into a beautiful presentation, and the flavors themselves live up to their appearance. Kudos to the pastry chef for continuing to do a great job.

Had a fantastic dinner overall. The appetizers and entrées were excellent—I highly recommend the shrimp dumplings and spring rolls. The Bangkok beef was also phenomenal and full of flavor. Our assigned server was quite aloof and not very responsive, though the restaurant was clearly busy. He didn't come to our table for over 20 minutes, so I ended up getting our drinks from the bar myself. That said, the gentleman bussing tables (Jay B) was outstanding. He refilled our waters multiple times, noticed we still hadn't been helped, and immediately tracked down our server for us. He checked on our table more attentively than the actual waiter ever did. We even told him he should consider becoming a server himself—he was that great! Despite the slow service from our waiter, the food was so good that I'd still highly recommend this restaurant. We'll definitely be back.

Great food as always but it was disappointing to see they had removed some favorites like grapaw (sorry wrong spelling) also somehow they changed the recipe of their satay sauce. It was good but not as thick and gratifying as it is typically. The desserts never ever disappoint!!

We visited Lemon Grass during Syracuse Restaurant Week and had a great experience overall. It was definitely busy, so service was a bit slow and our server wasn’t super attentive—but honestly, the food made up for it. Everything we tried was amazing. You can tell the ingredients and presentation are high quality, and the flavors were bold and fresh. Since it’s normally a pricier, upscale spot, Restaurant Week was the perfect time to try it without breaking the bank. I’d absolutely come back for the full experience on a quieter night!

Not your average Thai restaurant but still good. It’s definitely a bit more upscale compared to others. The boiled dumplings were savory and draped with a flavorful sauce. The fried whole fish was cooked well and tasted amazing with this spicy chili sauce.

DECENT DINNER My daughter and I came here on the night before college move-in for a nice meal. We absolutely loved the cauliflower with two sauces and the oysters. Both appetizers were dynamite and she appreciated being able to have a gluten free deep fried option. Stir fried dish was only ok… Lobster was a very meager portion for $30. I’m not sure we will come back, but I’m definitely glad we tried it out.

Jonah Johnson

Overall, good experience. The food we got was delicious. Service was great. Although- the dish we ordered that was supposed to have “scallops” had one singular scallop in the whole dish. Also, when they boxed our dinners they poured out the curry and left only the solids from the meal which was kind of disappointing.

I recently visited Lemon Grass and was thoroughly disappointed with the service. Despite the restaurant appearing overstaffed, it took over 40 minutes just to have our orders taken. We tried to flag multiple individuals, but nobody seemed to want to take responsibility. This delay is unacceptable and left us frustrated from the start. Throughout our meal, we had four different servers, none of whom seemed to know who was managing our table. This lack of coordination was evident and only added to the poor service experience. While the food itself was decent, the atrocious waiting experience overshadowed any enjoyment we might have had from our meals. Unfortunately, due to the significant delay and confusion among the staff, our dining experience was far from enjoyable. I hope Lemon Grass addresses these service issues promptly, as this is not the level of service expected from such an establishment.
