    Roasted Duck with Orange Tamarind
    Ashley G.

    Lemon Grass is great for a fancy date night or just because you feel like treating yourself. The atmosphere is elegant, and the service is very attentive. I felt like portions were generous in comparison to other similar style establishments, and the roasted duck was delicious.

    Salmon with green beans, mashed potatoes, lemon wedge garnish, and a little melted butter on the side.

    Lemongrass is a beautiful restaurant! I went on a cold Friday evening, but the restaurant was well lit, warm, and had a pianist playing by the door. I was with a large party and the staff did a spectacular job splitting up the tables in sections so it was not all one server's responsibility. I tasted the House Spring Rolls after a friend had one left over. Now, I always love a spring roll, but I did not care for the filling or taste of theirs. Maybe just because it's supposed to be an elevated spring roll? Not sure. I ordered the salmon with the seasonal vegetable which was green beans. The salmon was seasoned well and cooked to perfection, for me! The green beans were undercooked but had a good flavor with garlic butter and seasoning. The mashed potatoes also left more to be desired. I wish they were lighter, whipped more, and not as bland as they were. The Moscow mule that I ordered tasted like a classic mule so that was great. Overall, I felt pretty neutral about my experience. I thought the venue was beautiful (and larger than expected as the restaurant continues to go back with a separate party area), but I did feel like it was a bit overpriced. I see that they're going for an elevated experience, and I do look forward to giving it another try and ordering something different. I still suggest checking it out for a nice night out.

    Dined at Lemongrass on 12/4/25 before seeing Wicked at the Landmark. I always request Charles, he takes good care of us and makes sure we head out in time for the show! I enjoyed the squash bisque (fabulous, no pic), then shared the whole sea bass entree with my companion. It's brought to the table then cut and served. Perfect for two. Crispy skin, moist meat, delicious flavor! For dessert, the sorbet basket was the perfect ending. Four small scoops of the season's flavors! Thanks for another great evening, Charles!

    It had a great experience at Lemongrass restaurant. We had reservations so we didn't wait at all. We shared the chicken satay. I ordered the roasted duck with orange tamarind which I think everyone should try . It was delicious, packed of flavor. The asparagus were tasty too. My lady bug had the Pangang curry with short rib and it looked amazing

    The staff were all friendly. The restaurant was beautiful. Clean environment. Street parking. They had a decent selection of food and beverage items. The food was a nice Thai inspired or Thai fusion restaurant.

    Filet Massaman Curry

    Had a delicious Monday night dinner at Lemon Grass. They are extremely accommodating of a large party. We had a private dining room and restroom for our 20 person party. We started with calamari, vegan dumplings, spring rolls, and fried cauliflower. I had the Filet with Massaman as an entree and the warm chocolate cake for dessert. Everything on the menu is amazing, you can't go wrong!

    Calimari
    Travis S.

    Easily the best Calimari I've ever had. So good. The service was great. I can't rememeber the servers name but she was the perfect blend of entertaining, attentive, and knew when to give us time to have conversation (business dinner). The setting was comfortable. The food was all delicious.

    Seated a large party for business trip, fast and attentive service. Food phenomenal! Oysters fresh, deserts perfectly crafted. Always can count on a great time here.

    Raspberry tart

    This was my second time here, and I came for Downtown Dining Week. Personally, I think it's one of the best spots downtown; however, it's on the pricey side. I ordered the lobster dip as my appetizer, the salad with peanut dressing, and the gra pow with shrimp. I asked for my main dish with a few more long peppers. In my opinion, it could have been a bit spicier. Butttttt...I learned last year when I ordered my green curry extra spicy that they do not play!!! There was an unbelievable amount of long hots and then chili peppers on top. I think I drank probably 2 gallons of water (see picture for evidence--I rarely say anything is too spicy). My friend and I shared the raspberry tart for dessert. It's not included, but the desserts here are truly spectacular. Service is always top notch and the vibe is upscale, yet casual.

    Gra Pow with shrimp

    I found myself at Lemon Grass during my weekend in Syracuse visiting some of my college friends. I haven't been to Syracuse since 2017, and am not familiar with the food scene in the city. That being said, I let my friends have free reign as to where to go to eat - and they suggested here since it's a favorite spot of theirs. Lemon Grass is located in downtown Syracuse, among a number of other businesses in the area. The restaurant was pretty busy when we arrived, and from what I gathered from initial impressions this space attracted both bar patrons and diners. The restaurant is large - there's a spacious front room what contains the bar and some tables and it then gives way to another room in the back with more tables (this is where we were seated). The back room had a partition set up to accommodate a private party - but even with this it was ultra roomy (I think one of my friends said the restaurant inconspicuously takes up the length of the block it's on). The decor was somewhat modern with Earth tones, colored accents on the wall, and mellow live music playing. Even with this, the space wasn't warm - I think it had to do with the sheer size of the space, it just didn't land well for me. The menu mainly contained Thai dishes, though there was also a small selection of American fare as well. There were a *lot* of specials, but our server did an amazing job remembering them and had no problem repeating items or answering any questions we had. The majority of the dishes were flavor combinations that you paired with a protein of your choice with an emphasis on different curries. We started with a drink - they have a full bar selection as well as some seasonal cocktails. I had a ginger-based cocktail which had good flavor. Before mains, we decided to start with some apps: spring rolls and shrimp dumplings. Both were good - lots of flavor and paired with tasty sauces. For my main I decided to get the Gra Pow which was a chili and garlic based dish which I decided to pair with shrimp. The dish was really tasty - it was slightly spicy, loaded with flavor, and the shrimp were large. Service was great, food came out at a good pace and our server was really friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Lemon Grass - the food was good as well as the service. I would definitely be open to returning if I was ever in the area again.

    Chef Special: Garlic Shrimp  Very Flavorful.  Just like in Thailand

    Food is good but you can do better, even in Syracuse, for much less. That said, if you want more upscale vibes, go for it
