We have frequented this place for years; however, it’s now under new ownership, and the quality of food and service has diminished to the point that the restaurant is now a health risk.
The new owner(s) have incorporated an Indian cuisine menu with the traditional Thai menu, but the food quality is concerning. Our food order was wrong (we received chicken broth Pho rather than beef), and the vegetables were not fresh (see pics). Our server was on his second day on the job. He was nice but lacked understanding of the issues we experienced.
We observed spoiled, black, moldy spinach and unchewable beef strips in the traditional pho soup. The beef was of such poor quality that it was full of fat and gristle and not edible. Also, entrée prices have increased and are higher than those of other competitors. Bottom line: This restaurant is not worth the prices paid. There are serious quality and health concerns. This place needs a major self-reevaluation by its owner(s).

WOW! My fist time trying Indian Cuisine and this place did NOT disappoint! Beautiful authentic flavors and spices. Wonderfully Blended and Presented. I will definitely be dining here again. I ordered the Mulligatawny Soup, Egg Curry, Veggie Samosa with a side of their Buttered Naan. Delicious!!

Slow to functionally open, says 11 but we got there at 11:20 an no one was at the door to seat us. Service was friendly but messed up the order so took extra time to come out. Portions are huge and flavors are okay, my saag pannier was a little oily. Atmosphere is clean but menus are old and ratty, making it feel grimy. Also area right before the restroom and restroom floors are dangerously slippery with an oil like film. Take caution.

Medium size restaurant with a Vietnamese and Thai menu, and everything is fairly good. Lunch menu is very reasonably priced (with slightly smaller portions). Pho is simple and good, but they do not have tendon or tripe. The fresh spring rolls were decent but plain, and the peanut sauce had an interesting flavor. The Pad See Ewe was made with rolled noodles that were very good, and a black pepper-y flavor. The medium-spice level was not very spicy.

Wow! This place is very special from entry to farewell. The host was welcoming and helpful. The menu offers Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, and Japanese dishes that are superb and authentic.
Hot meals with an assortment of teas. Everything was great; the Goat Vindaloo, the Beef Wok, the drunken noodles, and the braised beef. The Thai tea, calamari, and everything spicy naan was awesome as well!

I was very disappointed with the service and food of Lemongrass. I have been to this restaurant previously and it has been fantastic. Under the new ownership, the restaurant seems to be operating differently. First of all, the service was extremely slow. We sat there for at least 10 minutes before someone came to take our drink order. After finally ordering, our appetizer took around 15 minutes to come. When I received my food, there was a long, thick piece of black hair in it. It took around 10 minutes for someone to finally come over so I could alert them of this hair. I did not eat the food, so thankfully they did not make me pay for it. Overall, I was not satisfied with my experience.

A nice choice for a fresher curry or pho. Ingredients are higher quality, and prices are reasonable, making this a good place to go when you don’t feel like cooking and want something healthy and filling. The menu is worth exploring. None of it is wow but all of it is good. It’s really good for vegetarians with vegetables, tofu, and seitan options.
Update: I have to raise the rating because the new indian menu is so unique. We’ve been coming back regularly and the staff is always kind to us and recognizes us. Tonight we are here to share this place with our friends!

Overall Indian food was good! Customer service was awesome . The owner was great with customers. Our highlight was the Veg Dum Biryani, paneer chili, and Gobi Manchurian. Presentation was great too. Food wasn’t spicy at all. We’ve had consistently good experiences! #IndianFood #Restaurant #Dinner #Biryani #Paneer #GobiManchurian #CustomerService #GoodFood

We had kind of stopped going here even though it was the closest Thai place to our house, but we heard they had new management and an Indian food menu to we tried it again. The food was outstanding. I have been back twice for their Indian menu! The service was great and my daughter really enjoyed her pho as well. Upgrade your rice to the jeera rice- it’s so good!

Came for the Pho, blown away by the Korean wings. I love wings, had them from all over, these were absolutely fantastic! OMG level amazing!! Not your anemic little skinny wings, these were large filling flavorful delicacies. The Pho was very good, but those wings – on another level… Thank you Indigo for the recommendation. Service is also fantastic. Can’t recommend these Korean wings enough.
