Absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with authentic Thai flavors. The balance of spice was perfect. The meat was tender, and the portion size was generous. If you love flavorful and comforting Thai food, this dish is definitely worth trying. My favorite place.

The food is amazing. However the service is slow. The drinks took time to arrive and so did the food. I just think there wasn’t enough people on the floor aswell.<br><br>But the atmosphere is amazing.

2 times here the food and service are consistently excellent. I had fried jumbo shrimp and spicy coconut soup as appetizer. Main entree I had tried the duck ramen and pineapple fried rice. The ramen and the soup are bit on the salty side, good if you get a cocktails/beer to balance it out. Great variety of cocktails as well. This place is a must try.

My wife and I have been to Thailand and have been searching for something close to what we had there. This place not only tastes authentic, but is beyond delicious! The place itself has really great atmosphere with relaxed vibes. Highly recommended if you want an incredible meal.

Very pretty atmosphere. I love the art and all the lemons. Our server Mili was amazing, she had great suggestions and was very attentive. Always there when we needed her. Food was very flavorful. Will be coming back to try more.

Such an aesthetic restaurant! We had a great experience here. Everyone was super friendly and everything was really tasty. We had the calamari, gai tod sos, pad Thai, khao moo dang and the lava cake. The dessert especially is a must try!

Lemongrass Brooklyn—Court Street’s Most Enchanting Secret<br><br>The moment you walk through the door you are met with the most beautiful and enchanting explosion of color and decor.<br><br>Cascading florals, red lanterns, warm wood everywhere…you immediately feel as if you have fallen into some whimsical fever dream, and honestly, you don’t want to wake up.<br><br>The staff are gentle, kind, and leave you feeling genuinely cared for in a way that feels completely authentic.<br><br>I ordered the lunch special of Basil with Crispy Pork Belly and as the kids say today…it was an absolute banger.<br><br>Started with the spring roll—fire. Actual fire. 🔥 Spicy little sucker but I was completely here for it.<br><br>The pork belly was out of this world, accompanied by an assortment of beautifully cooked vegetables and jasmine rice that somehow elevated the whole plate.<br><br>The complimentary Butterfly Pea Lemonade can only be described as literally drinking a flower. So fun. So unexpectedly delicious.<br><br>This was supposed to be a casual lunch. Plot twist: I wandered in hungry and left with a new obsession and zero regrets.<br><br>Highly-highly recommend!

If you like a dish that is sweet, savory, salty and crispy all at once, try the pork belly pineapple fried rice at this place. The pork belly melts in your mouth in richness and sweet pineapple keeps it flavorful and super delicious.<br><br>The drinks are very colorful and fragrant. Try the Lum-Duan and Orchid cocktails.<br><br>The decor is super vibrant, colorful and hip. Go dine at Lemongrass! Cheers.

A beautifully designed and refined Thai restaurant, Lemongrass. Both the food and drinks were excellent. It has a 4.8 rating on Google, and the prices are very reasonable—around $20–40 per person. It’s also not too far from Manhattan. Overall, a near-perfect experience!<br><br>Appetizer: Fried Calamari<br>A classic choice you can never go wrong with. The calamari was crispy and flavorful, and the presentation was lovely.<br><br>Whole Red Snapper<br>Fried fish with curry—we chose the Choo Chee Curry. I’m usually not a big fan of fish, but this dish completely won me over! The skin was perfectly crispy while the inside was tender and juicy. Paired with the rich, fragrant curry, it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!<br><br>Crab Meat Spaghetti<br>A new item on the menu (you can ask the owner for the exact name). It’s a Thai-style stir-fried pasta with soft-shell crab and crab meat. My first time trying Thai-style spaghetti—very unique and surprisingly flavorful!<br><br>Peth Siam<br>A lychee cocktail! Served with a full shot of white rum on top, beautifully presented. It goes down very smoothly, and the rum pairs perfectly with the lychee flavor. I loved it.<br><br>Gomain<br>A berry mint soda—sweet and slightly tangy with a bit of fizz. Super refreshing and perfect for summer.<br><br>Dessert: Mango Coconut Sticky Rice<br>A classic Thai dessert. It’s hard to go wrong with this one—absolutely delicious.<br><br>Most dishes here are priced between $10–30, with generous portions and great flavors. The ambiance is also quite unique—I visited during Lunar New Year, and the space had a Chinese-style speakeasy vibe, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely coming back!

Tried Thai Lemongrass and it was such a nice surprise. The whole experience felt easy and genuine: good food, great drinks, and a really pleasant space.<br><br>The Crab Rangoon were incredible, definitely a must. We also ordered the Shrimp Dumplings, BBQ Beef Short Ribs, and Bae-Mee Pok Pok, and everything was delicious. You can tell they really care about the presentation too — every dish came out looking delicate and beautifully plated, which made it feel a bit more special without being over the top.<br><br>We finished with Mango Sticky Rice (we can never skip it) and loved it. Cocktails were also a highlight — the Watermelon Margarita and Piña Colada were both amazing.<br><br>The décor is stunning and adds a lot to the atmosphere. Overall, a place I’d happily come back to.

Thoroughly enjoyed my veggie massaman curry tonight! I found the sauce quite thin, almost more like a soup, so if you're looking for a thick curry, this isn't the one, but the flavour was great and the veg was fresh and tasty. Massaman normally has crushed or whole peanuts too and I didn't find any in this which was a little disappointing.<br><br>Pick up was quick though and the food was well priced.

This charming restaurant has made the best impression.<br>The ambiance was warm and lively, featuring a perfect mix of background decorations for Valentine's Day, including traditional Tai lanterns adorned with flowers and hundreds of balloons, making it ideal for the celebration.<br>The team were attentive without being intrusive, always ready with a smile and great recommendations.<br>For our drinks, we have ordered a Coconut Mojito and a Watermelon Margarita, both of which look fantastic, and taste delicious.<br>For the main course, we ordered the duck Basil mild and the Whole Red Snapper Fried with goddess Garlic Sauce, which was cooked to perfection—flaky, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The side of roasted vegetables was fresh and seasoned perfectly.<br>For dessert, the chocolate mousse was rich, silky, and the perfect sweet ending. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!

Food was amazing. The calamari was so fresh and not rubbery at all. It was very delicious and highly recommend their dipping sauces. Furthermore the beef udon was cooked perfect as well as the Brooklyn steak. All around highly recommend and the service was spectacular.

My friends and I (party of 5) had such a great experience here! The drinks were one of my favorite parts, they come served in either a pineapple 🍍 or a watermelon 🍉, and as a pineapple lover, I was obsessed! I also ordered the rice and seafood mix served inside a pineapple, and it was absolutely delicious.<br><br>If you love seafood, this place has tons of great options, but they also offer wings and plenty of non-seafood dishes, so there’s something for everyone. The service was amazing, our waiter was super attentive, friendly, and really made sure we were taken care of.<br><br>The decor is phenomenal! The whole place is beautiful, and with the holiday decorations it looked extra cute, perfect for photos, date nights, or a fun outing with friends or family. The space is a little narrow, but it honestly didn’t bother me much because everything was so clean (even the bathrooms!).<br><br>For a group of 5, our total was around $520 including tip. We each ordered an appetizer, a main dish, and a fruit-served drink, plus we all got a second drink 🍹. With the quality, presentation, and overall experience, I can’t complain at all, I loved it! 🥰 definitely make reservations ahead!<br><br>Definitely recommend!
