Above average food. Fresh ingredients and nice service. Condiments have to be requested as well as chopsticks oddly enough. The space needs a big big facelift. Worth hitting if you like a little hole in the wall with great food! read more

Lemon grass might be my favorite restaurant in Cincinnati, the service is always above average, and the food is always absolutely amazing. I love all the options they have but the lemongrass shrimp and chicken delight are my favorite things to order! The employees are kind, efficient, and friendly. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you get the chance! read more

The best pad thai I have ever had in my life. I spent 4 years going to Lemongrass regularly but have sadly moved out of Ohio, but no fish has been mentioned more in my house. It is by far my favorite food and I have spent years trying to find pad thai that comes close to the expectations they set. If you are in the area, it is a must try. read more

Called to place takeout order. Wasn't too busy when I went. Looked ok inside. Got the pad Thai and pad see ew. Spice level ranges from 1-10. Decent food. read more

Lemon Grass - Outside street parking - Thai Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

In a neighborhood with about six Thai restaurants, this one has been here the longest so it's easy to forget about it. It's not as flashy or new as the others, but the people are friendly, the food is less expensive, and it's good. What more could you want? They have a large menu and all of your favorites are on it. The entrees are big enough to be two meals. We started with the gold bags as an appetizer and they were delicious. They do a brisk carry out buisness as well. The dining room is not fancy, but it's serviceable and I'd rather not pay more for fancy decor. This spot had kind of dropped off our radar, but I'd glad we went and it's now back in the rotation. read more

Always good. Have been here several times and nothing has ever been bad or even mediocre. Always good. Recommend Lemon Grass for good Thai food. read more

Super easy to call and order takeout. The spice levels range from 1-10. I got chicken pad Thai which was delicious and level 7 which tasted as I would expect. I also ordered the red curry with chicken. This was just okay, felt like it was missing something. The downside to the curry was how it was packaged. Instead of a plastic container to limit spillage, it was in a styrofoam container that had 3 compartments. 2 compartments had rice and the third bigger compartment had the curry. This spilled and mixed with some of the rice as I drove home. Normally rice and curries are packed separately to avoid this. Would definitely recommend changing how curries are given in takeout. Overall the enjoyed the food and found it to be very reasonably priced for lunch. I'd go back again! read more

Love this little gem of a restaurant. It's no frills but the food is consistently good. We ordered take out and noodle dishes were portioned well for two people. Fast service, reliable, and easy location for pick up. Highly recommend the pad Thai and the pad see ew. Parking is curbside but easy to find. read more

Lemon Grass - Thai Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I've had a hard time finding a good Thai restaurant in Cincinnati. I ordered takeout and the food was ready when I got there. Unfortunately, they were out of duck. The coconut chicken soup was a little too sweet and could use some more lemongrass. There was not much chicken in the soup either. The pad see ew was delicious and the medium spice was a little spicier than expected. I would not get shrimp next time as it was overcooked and mushy. read more

If you like Thai food that is fresh, flavorful and reasonably priced for everyday dining, try Hyde Park's Lemon Grass. Co-owner William greets regulars by name whether they dine-in or carry-out. The dining room is simple, unpretentious and brightly-lit, and the menu features the Thai standards you'd expect, all well-prepared. There are a lot of vegetarian options including our favorites: Swimming Angel Tofu and Crispy Basil Mock Duck. The kitchen is willing to accommodate special requests. Beer and wine options are modest. On our most recent visit, we enjoyed our meal so much, I wasn't able to get a picture until we finished! read more

Wow Cincinnati! Getting it in with the great food scene! I love the ambience of lemongrass and they have a bar menu which is great. The service is quick and efficient. The food though, good golly is the food great. I got larb and panang curry with beef. *chef's kiss* get you some read more

I visited Lemongrass yesterday. I used to visit often when I worked on Madison Road. However I was highly disappointed in the food!!! Very bland & not good anymore. I ordered the Thai Chicken with Cashews and Fried rice. And the man who took my order wasn't the most welcoming. read more

Best Thai food in Cincinnati, quick service and consistent in quality. Also fairly priced for the portion of food you get. Hidden gem! read more

Lemon Grass - Chicken pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We live in West Chester and usually have Thai someplace here, but we were at Joseph Beth Bookstore for a book signing and wanted to try a place near Rookwood. Lemon Grass did not disappoint! We ordered Pad Thai (called Paht Thai here) because that is our standard order to gauge how good a Thai place is. We also ordered Chicken Thai Spicy. When we got home we were delighted with the portion size and the flavor of both dishes. The Paht Thai was perfectly executed, and the amount of vegetables to chicken in the Thai Spicy was what I like. We ordered a 4/10 spice level and it was perfect for us. Will definitely order again when down in that area. read more

Food is ok -- but the person who seated us and served us was as cold as ice. We will not return. Actually, we nearly left but then decided to stick it out. Overall, quite an unpleasant experience. read more

Decent, no-frills Thai food with plenty of vegan options. I came here with an appetite seeing as they had lots of vegetarian and indeed vegan options. I ordered their vegetable clear soup with soft tofu ($4.50) and carrot & cabbage spicy salad with peanuts ($5.50) to start. The soup was bland but pleasant enough, coming cabbage, pea pods and mushrooms. Nothing special here, but pleasant enough -- 3/5. The salad was spicy and somewhat sweet, with a nice dressing to coat the fresh, crunchy cabbage and carrots. This was solid -- 4/5. For my main, I got the Penang curry with tofu ($10.95), served with steamed rice. The curry itself was nicely rich and flavoured, but the only thing it came with was 4 pieces of broccoli and soft tofu. C'mon guys -- you can do better than that. Put some more veggies in there, like bell peppers you would usually see. The curry flavour was very nice, so I was happy with that, but let down by the subpar contents of it. 3.5/5 Good meal overall, but it could easily be improved. read more

Lemon Grass is adorable. A small, comforting, and quiet restaurant. I order the chicken satay and a salad. The chicken satay was great! I'm craving it right now actually. The salad was good as well, and decently filling. I was asked what spice level from 1-10. I said 3, thinking that was a good level. I was also confused how they would make my salad spicy. Let me tell you, wow, it had a kick. Next time I'll probably say 1 or 2. So beware! Overall, cute place. read more

The somewhat run-down appearance of the outside should not keep you from eating the delicious food at this friendly restaurant. Having moved back to Cincy after a few decades we were pleased to see this old favorite still in operation - and found them still serving some of the best Thai food in Greater Cincinnati! read more

After craving Thai food, I decided to search for spots around Cincy. I came across Lemon Grass which had pretty good reviews. While the service was speedy and friendly, I found the food disappointing and bland. I've tried a number of Thai restaurants across the United States and the Pad Thai at Lemon Grass did not taste similar to the others. I was left disappointed and unsatisfied. It could have just been this one experience so I may give them a chance in the future or try a different dish on their menu. read more

This place is delicious! It's a hidden gem! I love the old school decor and ambiance. This was the best Thai food I've ever had! We were the only ones in there some how lol and our food came out incredibly fast and was super fresh! Will definitely go back!! read more

Not really a good place if you really want to taste thai authentic food. I'm from Tx (asian) & our thai food is beyond delicious & this place was disappointed, but the service was ok. The dishes came out bland and unseasoned. If you are a spice enjoyer, I recommend aiming for the highest level offered (10). My family and I chose 7 (because thai cuisine is usually spicy), and it tasted like it had no spice at all. read more

I love coming here! The food is delicious and the service is pretty fast. I gave it a 4/5 because I wish this dish had a little more flavor to it. Definitely will be coming back and trying more things on the menu! read more

The food at lemon grass is possibly the best Thai I've ever had and it comes at such a reasonable price. The store is a little mom and pop feel and it's not corporate or chain-y feeling. We always do pickup, can't go wrong. Pot stickers, Thai Basil, and Paht See Ew are our favorites! read more

They accepted a large group order, which was so pleasing! The staff was very kind and seemed really happy to serve. They have amazing lunch prices!!! I enjoy the choice of white, brown, or fried rice. I tried the green curry and was underwhelmed, although others liked it. The jungle curry, however, was much more flavorful and something I'd order again. A 7/10, I didn't find very spice so if you want a hint of spice order up!! read more

Great food! I am a big fan of pad see ew, and lemongrass has one of the best versions of it in the area. Also try the lemongrass soup!

We absolutely love Lemon Grass!! Portions are big, not over priced and the service is just as good! Beat Thai food around!

Don't get the takeout chicken pad Thai. It was actually flavorless. So dry. I don't know if I've ever been more heartbroken by a delivery order, when I expected so much more. The soup was good. And I loved the fried rice last time I was in, so that's the only reason I'm giving more than one star. I would go again and eat in, but would literally never get takeout from here if I had any other options. read more

A quaint little Thai spot just around the corner from Rookwood. On my last visit I had no trouble finding parking on the street and it was after 6PM, so no fee for the meter. I was greeted amiably and seated immediately after entering the dining room. The service was prompt and friendly. As seems standard for all my visits to Thai restaurants, I ordered the Chicken Paht Thai, the staple by which I judge my favorite Thai places. I ate my entire meal, as it was by no means a bad one. However, I have had a better version of this dish at a few other Thai spots in the city. There are many types of curry available as well. If I were to go back, I would probably try a different dish. read more

My partner and I ordered by phone and our order was prepared in time. He got pad ki mao and I got the masaman curry, both with medium spice. The spice level was essentially nonexistent when eating both dishes, but particularly with the masaman curry. Please keep this in mind when you order. Thai cuisine is my favorite, but I was a disappointed after taking a bite from my dish. The potatoes were not fully cooked and there was minimal flavor aside from the coconut in the curry. In all the masaman curry i've had, this was honestly my least favorite. My partner said his dish was "nothing special, just average." if it was properly spiced, it probably would've been a 4 star meal. extra note: we are indian, and we are used to ordering medium spice at immigrant owned restaurants. i probably should have said hot spice level instead :/ read more

Lemon Grass - Thai fried rice level 2 chicken and shrimp. - Thai Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Sad to say this is second experience in two months after many years of love which is less than satisfactory. Panang curry was extremely watery with two pieces of broccoli and no heft or thickness for which this curry is known. Monk's curry last time was similarly disappointing. Noodle dishes save the day but shouldn't have to. I want to support this local business but don't know what else to try as vegetarian to pull it out. read more

Paht See Ew and Cashew Chicken are hands down the best dishes on the menu. I'm really picky when it come to Thai food and this place really hits the spot. Very small and intimate. Restaurant clean. Staff very fast and friendly. The only thing I do not like about the restaurant is the location. It is on the busiest road in Hyde Park/Norwood area (On Madison). Parking is very limited and street parking is very hard to find at times. read more

Very good family run Thai restaurant. One of the best I've been to at that price point. Always good service.

We get Thai frequently and really enjoy the flavors as well as the spice. Maybe we were not heard, but when you ask for "hot" (not Thai hot) and get back to the hotel to find our 3 meals, $45 worth, is prepared mild to the point of "about as spicey as WonderBread" you don't want to bring it back and you don't want to eat it. So you work out your disappointment with a negative review on Yelp. Ugh! read more

Family favorite for us. Been going to lemongrass for more than a decade. The quality of the ingredients and the consistency keep us coming back. I highly recommend the Pik Pow and Jungle curry. read more
