    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pina colada

    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!

    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!

    Shrimp Pad Thai Noodles
    Madi H.

    Came here with friends on a busy day and was happy to get seated. The drinks are SO FUN. My friend got the pina colada that comes fully in a pineapple, it was great. I had the shrimp pad thai which was delicious. Great options for vegetarian and gluten free friends. This was during the nyc heat wave and they unfortunately don't/didn't have central AC, so it was toasty, but the vibes made up for it. Great spot!

    Lemongrass Thai Restaurant - Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Style Over Substance: A Disappointing Thai Experience I really wanted to love Lemongrass. The buzz around this Cobble Hill spot had me excited, and walking in, it's easy to see where their energy went -- the decor is undeniably attractive and the ambience is carefully curated. Unfortunately, that's where the effort seems to have stopped. From the moment we sat down, the cracks began to show. The service was mediocre at best, and our party felt uncomfortably rushed throughout the meal -- hardly the relaxed dining experience you'd hope for. To make matters worse, the kitchen got our order wrong and offered absolutely zero acknowledgment or apology for their mistake. That kind of indifference to a paying customer is simply unacceptable. I hate to leave a bad review, unfortunately it was a bad experience I'd prefer others didn't have ti experience. Now, the food itself -- the whole reason you go to a restaurant. Disappointing doesn't quite cover it. The pork belly was so inexplicably lean it could have passed for tenderloin. If you're putting pork belly on the menu, deliver pork belly. The pad see ew suffered from a glaring protein-to-noodle imbalance, leaving you wondering where the substance went. Even the drinks, a relatively low bar to clear, managed to underwhelm. For the prices they're charging, this is simply not acceptable. Cobble Hill deserves better Thai food than this. Save your money. Keep looking.

    price - $25 including tax and tip food - 4/5 service - 5/5 ambiance - 4/5 I ordered the chicken pad see ew lunch special and it came with spring roll salad, edamame, 2 slices of orange and a complementary drink of the day called sunset lemonade. the food was pretty good considering that the lunch menu price was $15.95 for chicken pad see ew. the service and ambiance were both amazing as well! on the contrary, there was no air conditioner when I went in 100 degrees weather so sitting indoors with only a fan made me feel a bit uncomfortable. besides that, I think if you check out the restaurant when it's much cooler, you would definitely have a better experience! definitely check this place out when you get the chance!

    The minute you walk in there are lemons everywhere and the whole space is so vibrant, they had mainstream pop music playing which added to the energy, although it was pretty loud and boppy, I could barely hear my friend at times. Still such a fun vibe for dinner with friends Our waiter recommended the lychee shrimp and it did not miss, sweet, tangy and so flavorful, they really came through with the recommendations. We also got the crab rangoons, chicken wings and the whole branzino which was so tender and the herbs really came through, honestly so good We also ordered the pad see ew and the texture was great, if a Thai restaurant can't nail a classic dish like that then are they really that good? This one delivered. On top of that we got the watermelon margarita mocktail which came served inside a whole watermelon with fruit, such a fun presentation and so refreshing especially with how hot it's been lately Service was awesome the whole time and the food came out fresh and flavorful. Definitely such a solid spot for Thai food in Brooklyn with a fun, lively atmosphere, just be ready for it to be on the louder side, would recommend to anyone looking for good food and a good time!

The scallion sauce isn't too strong and no aftertaste lingering like garlic sauce. If you're not allergic to peanuts, definitely add the peanut bits. It adds an extra flavor. 8/10 The woodear salad: very vinegary and crunchy. 9/10 The potato salad:crunchy and the flavor is just right. Mild spicy. 8/10 The original soup noodle: too mild. Barely any flavor. 5/10 The mala pork intestine soup noodle: I got the regular spiciness level and it was actually quite spicy. If you can't tolerate spicy food, try mild or medium first. The pork intestine is bit chewy. Otherwise the flavor is good. 8/10 The seafood tom yum soup noodle: mild tom yum flavor. The soup base is slightly on the sour side. Overall is good. 8/10 Thai style soup noodle: the soup flavor is good. Not too spicy. 9/10 We also tried the brown sugar rice cake: it's just ok. Not crunchy enough. The brown sugar is missing some caramelized flavor. So it is a sweet rice ball. 5/10 I think the temperature inside would be fine if you go during a cool day. When it's a hot day, the restaurant could get very hot even if they turn on both ACs. With just 2 ACs insides, and eating a hot bowl of spicy soup noodle, we were all sweating inside. Though the food is good, I would not return during summertime. It's just too hot to enjoy a good bowl of hot soup noodle.

I asked to sub rice for noodles because one of my kids is a rice pot (can't go without rice) and requested extra sauce, which they kindly provided. The set meals are a fantastic deal; a full size entree, an appetizer and a drink for $19-20. An extra order of noodles is $2.50 and it's really double the amount of noodles that comes in your entree. I also ordered their new dish with has abalone and sea cucumber; this is not part of a set meal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has that umami sweetness that comes from a great soup base and the noodles are delicious as usual. The abalone was tender, the sea cucumber had a bite to it. There was fish maw and wood ear in there as well.

To start off, we had the Cheeseburger Dumplings ($12), which was so unique. We've never had something like this and they executed it really well. The dumplings were filled with meat and fried with a skirt. The cheese part was topped over it like a melty dressing, so a delicious and special dish here. Plus, it had a side salad to balance all the grease here. For the entrees, we had to get the udon and shared the Niku Udon ($25) and Salmon Ikura Udon ($30). It was a nice combo between a hot and cold udon. The Niku was your classic udon bowl filled with plenty of beef and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The broth was sweet and savory for a warm and comforting meal. On the other hand, the salmon udon was quite unique with matcha udon and fresh salmon. There is a dashi to pour and mix into the noodles, which still gave it flavor and the slurp you want in a udon. Both were so great in its own way. Even their ramen also looked great, but I love all noodles. Definitely a great spot to dine near Barclays Center. Love to come back whenever I'm in the area again. The udon dishes are on the pricier side, but they're huge bowls.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.
