    Crab Rangoon
    Asha E.

    Lemongrass serves authentic Thai cuisine at an insanely generous price. The crab rangoon were some of the best I ever had, fried to golden-brown perfection and served with a sweet Thai dipping sauce on the side. For my main dish, I ordered the green curry with chicken and it was good. The server informed me that the dish was a medium-spicy when I ordered the dish and that was good info as I was prepared to modify the heat level. But I didn't have to, it was perfect. While the green curry had the traditional flavor, there did seem to be something missing and I can't really pinpoint what -- I think the broth could've been thicker and a bit more flavorful, but it wasn't bad by any means. The ambiance of this place is incredible. It is beautiful and they've weaved the lemongrass theme into every detail, including the fragrance in the air when you walk in. I love their branding - the menu is like a magazine where you not only learn more about what they serve, they also provide other relevant information about the restaurant and thank their customers. Oh, and additionally, I had the Thong-Kwao cocktail and it was fruity mezcal perfection. The cocktails are definitely next level and on par with a what you'd expect from a high-end lounge -- and at a reasonable price point (please be aware that there are pricey cocktails on the menu as well. I didn't try anything about $20). Phenomenal! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're ever in Brooklyn.

    Very delicious EVERYTHING. I got one of the tom yum noodle soups. The crab Rangoons were magical. The spring rolls were crispy and fluffy and amazing. Everyone else entrees looked amazing. The only thing I would pass on next time was the calamari as it was just okay. Everything else was to die for.

    Wow! Shame on me for not returning here in a decade! So much has changed since the last time I've been here. The ambiance and decor is more modern. There's a neon symbol hanging on the wall of the entrance. I was able to get seated immediately as a walk-in on a Tuesday night. I ordered one of the Summer cocktails as my beverage of choice. For my appetizer, I went with the fried calamari and vegetable spring rolls with a side of sweet chilli sauce. Both the beverage and appetizers were delicious. I ordered the chicken and shrimp pineapple fried rice for my entrée with no regrets. it was a great portion of food. I was able to take some of this food to go. I was so full after my meal that I had no room for dessert. The waitress offered a free dessert of fried ice cream in the event that I wrote a Google review in live time which I did. This restaurant is highly recommended from my perspective for a date night, lunch, take-out, or a lovely solo dinner. I'm looking forward to returning here sooner than later.

    Vibrant Thai spot with a great mix of reliable classics and authentic regional dishes. We loved the Thai iced tea, fresh spring rolls, Thai curry, and drunken noodles with tofu and veggies. Everything was flavorful and well prepared, and the service was excellent. Ambiance is a bit tacky with all lemons & green grass but nothing bothersome. Definitely a go-to spot for your next Thai food craving!

    This place can be a little bit of a wait so don't be surprised if there is a line! The food her is fantastic I love every dish I ever had and the portions are huge! I love in traditional dishes like green curry they give you the option to have a choice of protein such as crispy pork belly. Definitely do the crispy pork belly you will not be disappointed. The cocktail menu is extensive and delicious. They have certain drinks that are service inside of the fruit which is a fun touch. The decor is cute very island floral inspired and the bathrooms have always been clean, which is a plus in the city!

    Duck Choo Chee

    Lemongrass Brooklyn is a great spot for a fun night out with beautiful presentation and genuinely tasty food. The ambiance is lovely, with lemon accents throughout and a warm, lively atmosphere. Service was attentive and friendly all night. We started with the watermelon margarita, served in a hollowed out watermelon and garnished with edible flowers, pineapple, and mint. It was as delicious as it was photogenic. The lychee juice was also very refreshing and delightful! The standout of the night was the duck - we ordered the duck bao and duck choo chee (granted I also love duck lol), incredibly crispy on the outside, tender inside, and served in a generous portion that we could barely finish. We also shared the soft shell crab salad and the eggplant basil with crispy pork belly, both well textured and beautifully plated. We ended with the mango sticky rice, a perfect not too heavy way to close out the meal. Highly recommend for a date night or a celebration with friends. Will definitely be back.

    Tom Yum Soup
    Linda L.

    We enjoyed a nice night at an outdoor table among the faux flowers, which helped not make it so obvious that you're sitting on a busy sidewalk. We had friendly service and very tasty food. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant and the large menu with many vegetarian options. It was hard to choose, but I ordered the tom yum soup with veggies and a salad and I was very fully and happy.

    Had dinner at Lemongrass on Court St in Brooklyn with my little one. Ordered the crab fried rice--on its own it was nothing special, but once I mixed it with the sauce on the side, the flavor really came through. What worked well for me as a parent: I could scoop out a plain portion for my kid first, then mix the sauce into the rest. One dish, two ways. The clam soup was quite savory, no fishy taste, and the clams were tender. The broth had that Thai-style sourness that wakes up your appetite. The shrimp the server brought out was crispy with a creamy sweet glaze--enjoyable to eat. The short rib was tender and well seasoned. Also tried two non-alcoholic drinks--the mulberry one leaned more fruity and tart, while the rose one had a noticeable floral aroma. Neither was overly sweet; both were refreshing. Overall a comfortable meal, the kind of place I'd go back to.

    Grilled Wings
    Weili H.

    I ordered grilled wings and it's 4 drums and 1 wing, I wished they could have called it Grilled Drums, the dish is cold, inside is not completely cooked. I have eaten here a few times and ordered the same thing before, not impressed this time

    Crab Rangoon

    Such a cute vibe! The service was really friendly and gave great suggestions for food (shoutout Taylor for the curry recommendation!). The food was also very solid, good place for large groups and girls' nights.

    Mango Sticky Rice Dessert
    Marie S.

    Wowww I need to go out more because I didn't know this place existed. They have lemon decor everywhere. I find that to be cool, because I never been to a restaurant like that before. They have gluten free, halal, and vegan options. I had to get the watermelon margarita because it looks so cool. It was definitely a good choice I made. For appetizer I got the Thai BBQ wings, very good, they were nice and crispy. The Crispy Pork Belly Bao, OMG, my favorite. I think it was the thickness and how will it was fried. It was crispy, and tender. I would go back just for that. I got the Bae Mee Pok Pok, which was delicious. I also got the pineapple fried rice with chicken. As for dessert, it was my first time having mango sticky rice, and I really like it. I did not expect to like it, or for it to go together, but that coconut sauce was so good, it was warm and sweet. The rice was nice and warm too. And the mangoes were fresh and juicy. I will definitely go back. Seems like a good place to go on a date, or hang with friends, or come for an occasion like birthdays. The service was also very good, and wait was not long.

    Cha-ba | passion fruit margarita
    Michelle T.

    Haven't been here in years! But last Sunday I decided to stop in around 8pm to grab a bite. It was so packed when we arrived, I didn't think we were going to get a table but luckily we were able to snag a table right away since it was just 2 of us. The service was good, nothing too spectacular or overly friendly but it was quick and efficient. We had a young lady that was training, so she was being guided by someone else but she did a good job. Drinks: w head the cha-ba and the passion fruit margarita. The cha-ba was a big miss but the passion fruit margarita was great! Food: we had the shrimp roll to start. It came out piping hot and was flavorful and the sweet chili sauce complimented it well. For entrees we had the pad Thai noodle with chicken and the pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp. Both dishes came out hot and fresh. The pineapple fried rice was a big serving and it was very good! The pad Thai serving was more on the smaller side. I wish I would've asked if they could make it spicy because I requested chili oil after to add to it but they didn't have. Spice aside, the flavors were great!

    Pina colada
    Jenny R.

    We had a great meal at Lemongrass in Brooklyn! Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The inside of the restaurant was on theme with all the lemons and I loved it! It brings a great pop of color. For drinks, we tried the Yuzu Margarita and the Piña Colada Mocktail. The Yuzu Margarita had a refreshing citrusy flavor, while the mocktail was creamy, tropical, and perfect if you're looking for a non-alcoholic option. To start, we ordered the Tofu Bao Bun and Calamari. The bao bun was soft and fluffy with well-seasoned tofu, and the calamari was crispy without feeling too heavy. For our mains, we had the Spaghetti Kee Mao and the Fresh Basil Fried Rice with tofu (no egg). The Kee Mao was packed with bold Thai flavors and had just the right amount of spice. The basil fried rice was fragrant, satisfying, and made exactly as requested, making it a great vegetarian option. We wrapped up the meal with the Mango Sticky Rice, which was the perfect ending. The mango was sweet and ripe, and the sticky rice was rich and creamy with just the right amount of coconut flavor. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience with delicious food, refreshing drinks, and attentive service. We'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

The inside is sleek, cozy, and medium lighting. Service (5/5): No issues with service since the restaurant was still fairly empty. Waitress was patient when we asked a slew of questions and her suggestions. Happy hour drinks were priced at $6 from 5:30p-7p with some tapas also at $5-7. Chicken dumpling (3/5) Red version: It was unique to find kernels of corn in the dumpling! I enjoyed the vinegar/soy sauce and chili oil. Next time, I would have liked to try the brown. Overall, there wasn't anything special about the steamed dumplings. Iron Men (3/5): I was disappointed since reviewers said that the broth would be very rich but it did not have much flavor to me even after using their house chili sauce (+$2). I definitely tasted the Iberian pork undertones but overall, I thought it was watery and didn't have much flavor without the chili. The poached egg was perfect. The rosemary oil was very subtle (cool presentation as it was provided in a dropper!) The noodles were perfect--chewy and bouncy. I thought the 2 slices of pork were thin but tender, also more lean and not fatty (not as ideal so did not melt in your mouth). Expensive for a bowl with little meat ($23). I did not use the miso paste as I did not love the aftertaste, which admittedly could be why the broth lacked flavor to me! Nagoya Miso Katsu-Don (N/A): I tried a little of the dish. I thought the pork was very crunchy and had a great taste. Boyfriend said the dish was nothing special.

The noodles were thick and silky, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. We added their house chili sauces to it and it became even better!

    Taylor's Tayke: Cafe Chili offers a fun introduction to Thai…read moreflavors through both its afternoon tea experience and its full dinner menu. What stood out most was the variety. From savory bites and traditional Thai dishes to tea service and desserts, there was plenty to explore throughout the visit. The afternoon tea service in particular offered a unique way to experience the menu beyond a traditional meal. My Taysty Tayke: Get Down & Dirty, Expeditiously: Fish in the Boat One of the most memorable dishes from the visit. Fresh salmon paired with bright flavors and a subtle kick of spice. It almost gave salmon salad vibes while still feeling distinctly Thai. Egg Tart Soft, creamy, and incredibly smooth. The texture was outstanding and easily one of the strongest items from the afternoon tea selection. Crying Tiger Skewer Tender, juicy, flavorful, and everything you'd want from grilled beef. Simple execution done extremely well. Hot Chai Tea Excellent on its own, but the addition of cinnamon elevated it even further by adding warmth and complexity to every sip. Shrimp Bite Loved the texture here. Fresh shrimp with a bright lime flavor and none of the chewiness that can sometimes hold shrimp dishes back. Duck Salad Fresh, juicy, and tender with great balance throughout. Macaron with Grape The grape added a fruity sweetness that complemented the macaron nicely without overpowering it. Pork Pastry Flaky, savory, and satisfying. Dumpling Solid texture and flavor throughout. Curry Puff Enjoyable curry flavor but could have used a little more punch. Thai Wings Well executed with good flavor throughout. Rice Ball Sweet, sticky, and compact. A nice contrast to some of the savory items. Chicken & Shrimp Fried Dumplings Enjoyable but didn't stand out as much as some of the stronger offerings. The Experience: The afternoon tea service was a pleasant surprise and offered a creative way to sample multiple flavors in one sitting. Pairing that with the dinner menu gave a well-rounded look at what Cafe Chili has to offer. Best For: Afternoon tea, casual lunches, catching up with friends, introducing someone to Thai cuisine, or exploring a variety of flavors in one visit. In Conclusion: Cafe Chili shines when it leans into dishes that balance freshness, texture, and bold flavor. The Fish in the Boat, Egg Tart, Crying Tiger Skewer, and Duck Salad were the standouts for me, while the afternoon tea experience adds a unique element you don't often find at Thai restaurants. If you're looking for variety and a mix of savory and sweet offerings, Cafe Chili is worth a visit. Stamped by Elajas

Maison Sun is an intimate dining space where guests are seated around a stainless-steel counter with an open-kitchen concept. They offer a Vietnamese fusion tasting menu for $185. I appreciate the growing recognition of Vietnamese cuisine and its elevation into the fine dining space. Unfortunately, this meal didn't quite hit the mark for me. Many of the flavor combinations felt disjointed and often clashed rather than complemented one another. Shrimp Mochi: It was good. Duck Egg Custard with Caviar: Delicious! It was creamy and well-balanced. Bread with Sea Urchin Butter: The butter was unique and tasted amazing. I could probably eat a whole stick of it. Foie Gras Katsu with Passion Fruit Candy: The foie gras itself was great, but the passion fruit candy felt awkward and out of place. NZ Hiramasa with Wood Ear Mushrooms: The wood ear mushrooms overpowered the fish, which was unfortunate because the hiramasa itself was quite good. I loved the lemongrass sauce. The lemongrass flavor was very subtle. Dry-Aged Moulard Duck with Black Rice and Makrut Leaf Curry: This was the standout dish of the night. The duck was deeply flavorful, and the curry paired beautifully with it. Tiger Prawn Phở: Very mushroom-forward in flavor. It was decent, but not particularly memorable. Secret Flavour Ice Cream: Fish sauce ice cream sounds unusual, but it was unique and surprisingly good. Opal Basil and Chrysanthemum Tea Infusion Sorbet: Refreshing and light--a nice way to end the meal. There's clear creativity and intention behind the menu, but the dishes lacked the harmony needed to make the experience truly memorable.
