Really great and very popular spot for Thai food in Quad Cities area. I highly recommend the green curry and fried rice. When they say the green curry cannot be made mild, it is no joke! It is not unbearable but certainly not for the faint of heart! read more

The food are delicious. I love the pork belly. The plPad Thai is also different from what I usually have in other places. The flavors are very special, yet surprisingly good. read more

WOW. Our food here was so good! I had the Pad Keemao - all the fresh veggies were great and the spicy garlic sauce was amazing. Hubby had the Pho thought it was delicious. Even though the restaurant was busy with a lunchtime rush, we were seated quickly, and our food game out within 10 minutes of ordering! A+ service to go along with A+ food. read more

Good selection. Green curry with shrimp was fantastic-very spicy as stated on menu- you won't be disappointed.

Great find. Good food. Pad me mao delicious and whole party very pleased. Affordable and tasty!

Excellent food! Amazing customer service! The owner is so nice and always remembers when I come in. My husband and I love coming here for special occasions. Tons of craft brew options. I highly recommend the old school pad Thai or the kimchi fried rice! read more

Nice atmosphere with music bumping during lunch hr. Friendly staff and food was decent. I got the kimchi fried rice. It was very mushy than how it's supposed to be. Rice just came out of rice cooker and everything was mixed together and not fried on a wok. Not my favorite dish: Portion was big and had to take the rest home. I would come back for the atmosphere and try a traditional pad Thai next time. read more

Went here the other day with decent expectations since all the yelp fans pretty much like this place. And after ordering and tasting our dishes, those expectations were met. Here's a few things I tasted: - Thai Omelet: I had a Thai Omelet in another town before and loved it, and wanted to try it here. Different from an American omelet, this is deep fried, I believe, crunchy, and when paired with some rice, has a great taste to it. They serve it with tomatoes, cucumbers, and a sweet sauce, which I didn't have before, but it was a good combination to match the oily fried egg. I got this with shrimp, so there were little pieces of shrimp in the omelet. Just as good as I expected it to be. - Pad Thai: I tried some of the pad thai and it was a lot sweeter than I like. I've had a lot of pad thai before, and this was one of the sweetest that I've ever had. It kind of had a strong ketchup like flavor to it. I probably won't order this here next time I come - Pad Keemao: A pretty decent, safe dish. In my opinion. Noodles with assorted vegetables in it - Gra pow: the gra pow was good (with a fried egg in it .. and not just a normal American fried egg. This was kind of weird. It looked similar to my omelet. Maybe it was a deep fried egg???. Anyhow, it was good. :)). However, this dish has a LOT of basil in it. The basil taste takes over the whole dish. So if you don't like basil, definitely don't get this. - Pumpkin Curry: Had a bite of this, and it was delicious! May try this next time. read more

Despite high Yelp ratings, I had low expectations from this place but I must say I was a bit pleasantly surprised. This was our first meal in Quad City. Crispy Duck: Breaded and fried pieces of duck and comes with veggies (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers). This was very good, tasty and well...crispy. Watch out for bones. 4/5 Bento Box (served from 11am-3pm): For $10 you get soup, Vietnamese spring roll, Korean slaw, mixed fruit and your choice of meat. You can get shrimp for an additional $1. You can get pineapple fried rice, gra pow rice, pad woon sen, pad keemao, LemonGrass Grill chicken or steak OR pad thai. I tried the LemonGrass Grill steak and it tastes like a cross between teriyaki and Vietnamese grilled beef. Soup of the day was good - had cilantro, lemongrass and small pieces of chicken. The spring roll was delicious with the peanut sauce. The Korean slaw was like kimchee but not quite fermented for 100 years. Shawn tried the pad keemao - it was very spicy! 5/5 Thai Iced Tea: This was a fail in my book. There was too much half and half, not enough tea. 2/5 read more

This place is very high quality, they could be in the biggest of cities and be in a top spot easily. They really have something special here. So to start off their pho is delicious, not their special but they have it. Big bowl with both steak and meatball in it. If your a pho fan your good to get some here. Their entree dishes and appetizers are amazing. The eggrolls and rangoon are served with the best dipping sauces, these are some of the best that I have had. The entrees all have a unique flavor to them which only can be found in quality places, not the store bought sauce here. I do suggest trying something new each time, you will have favorites but everything is worthy on this menu. Well run place with a great ambiance inside, it has all the features of a nice date night place with a good price that won't bust your pocket. Believe me they could easily charge another $5 on each of their dishes and it would be worth it. read more

Great Thai food! Loved the location and atmosphere. Service was great! Reasonably rice with large portions!

AMBIANCE: I loved the vibe and decor so much here! Very modern and clean and a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. They had huge pictures and menus which I think is sleek. Wooden tables and floors. Plenty of individual seating, group seating, even bench seating. All around good! LOCATION: I'm not familiar with the area but it looks to be in a centralized location since its surrounded by lots of other varieties of foods including Italian, Indian, and American that I could see. Free parking in the back and also front street parking. SERVICE: quick, friendly, accommodating. These ladies were authentic Thai I believe, if I was distinguishing their language correctly. Either way, it's run by Asians but the restaurant itself has a very nice modern American flare. FOOD: I ordered a kimchi noodle soup. I guess the heats getting to me cause this will be the second bowl of soup I've had today. I'm hoping this one will have a good kick! Portions are big, well it looks big because of the beautiful plateware they have at least. The soup was delicious! The noodles are not what you expect. Not your traditional long thin noodles but rather thick and short noodles (the size of a wine cork). And instead of being numerous in noodles, it was about 8-9 chunks, which I really appreciated cause that meant more soup and proteins. The kimchi was good and the spicy was perfect! The pork belly could have been a touch more tender but that's me nit picking. Overall, I hope I get the chance to come back through and try out another fish! PRICING: food here is a bit pricier than what I would normally pay but I'm traveling and hoping to enjoy good food, so why not?! Entrees ranged from $10-13. Appetizers $5-13. I wanted this appetizer that sounded so good (fat noodles with pork belly and sriracha and lots of other stuff) but it was a bit too expensive. read more

"So Sharon, let me get this straight. You want to tear down the old family barn, and use the reclaimed pieces to build out an Asian-fusion restaurant in the middle of downtown?" -The likely origin story of this delightful eatery in the Moline Centre. The weathered aluminum citing and rustic wood boarding which adorns the walls gives the space a comfortable yet industrial feel. You want to ask out the girl who's face you saw buried in that new Dave Eggers novel at lunch? This is where you take her. From the furnishings to the menu, the cafe firmly states "I. Have. Taste." It's not showy; it doesn't try too hard. It just allows itself to be what it is... and what it is, is GOOD. On this trip, I enjoyed the chicken teriyaki. Even such a classic dish surprised me with bright interesting flavors. They advertised the Teriyaki sauce as "a secret," so I'll share a secret of my own: I wasn't even in the mood for Asian food when I walked in, and I already want to come back. No matter what you're in the mood for, the Lemongrass Cafe is going to hit the spot. read more

The food is always tasty. Just be warned if you say anything about the spice level such as "medium but not hot" or "just a little spice" they will think you want to drink from satan's flamethrower. I love a good endorphin rush so I always step up to the challenge and weirdly enjoy the experience. Also if you go on the weekend wait times for food to arrive can be longer than expected since this place is typically jammin. My wife and I love this place and we typically have a great experience. The staff is awesome, super friendly and impressively hard workers. This is one of the best places to eat in the quad cities and we are lucky to have it. read more

Super friendly, welcoming and attentive service, very knowledgeable of gluten free options (almost anything on the menu if you ask!) and deliciously authentic Asian cuisine. Definitely recommend and will return when I'm in Moline! read more

What a phenomenal place! Not only do they have amazing Thai food but they are Covid safe. Great spacing on the tables and even plastic partitions to separate you from other diners. I love the spicy basil noodles although they're called some thing else. You just have to ask them and they will direct you to the menu item. Last time I accidentally ordered them gluten-free because my husband was getting gluten-free. I'm not sure but I think I may like the gluten-free ones even better than the original. read more

So, this place just WORKED! I got to Moline early evening, for a class on Rock Island the next day. Needed to get some food in da belly, and a Yelp search came up with LemonGrass Cafe. Within walking distance! Asian! Rated highly. YESSSSSS!!! I ordered the Pad Keemao with shrimp, which for me is pretty "out there". I love, love, LOVE Korean food, so I tend to order Korean items whenever offered. Just can't help it! But the Pad Keemao was AWESOME! Such good, spicy flavor, but not SO spicy that I had trouble eating it. Just the right amount. For me, anyway. If you're in the area, this place deserves your visit. read more

The QCA has a surprisingly good Thai food game, and in my opinion, LemonGrass is the best of the best. I've been eating here for years and it's consistently fresh, delicious food with character. We've been to Thailand and I swear the Gra Pow Rice and Khoi Soi are best at Lemongrass! read more

Great god and service. Food comes out amazing and is rich in flavor. Great environment for a good meal and conversation.

Delicious every time I come, and excellent staff who always remembers the exact way I like my order. I wish I could give them 10 stars!

OMG, what a find!!! Great selection and very friendly about it all!!! The curry is amazing and DO have the lettuce wraps (I had it with tofu). They can do many selections gluten free and vegan so just ask, they know just what you need! Park in the large lot behind the building to the North and go through the back door! Again, very friendly people here!!! ENJOY! read more

Very good food! Loved the pad Thai with pork belly, pineapple fried rice, and coconut soup. Definitely a great spot in this small town. Would highly recommend read more

Pricey,wait was long service was good,drinks were good but felt crowded would go back just maybe not as much.

Pretty much the gold standard for Thai food in the Quad Cities. They also own Miss Phay and Exotic Thai on the Illinois and Iowa side. We usually order a combination of Poor Man's Noodles, General Tso Chicken or tofu, Buddha rolls, and pineapple fried rice. We have ordered beer and cocktails for delivery too. The Thai tea is also refreshing. They are currently take out only due to Covid but when dine-in was an option, service was always good. read more

Delicious! Great service and the meals came out quick. Will definitely be back! Nice atmosphere

My friend and I walked in and we were immediately greeted by somebody. They were loud, clear and nice. I ordered beef bulgogi. This is based on my only visit here and this particular dish. It was served with white rice, lettuce, and some kimchi (love that!). The dish looked good but it came out as beef cubes which I wasn't expecting. The meat didn't have much flavor but it had some sauce under it which provided the flavor. Without it, it was pretty bland. I asked for some hot sauce which the edited brought it 3 different types: homemade Sriracha looking, giardiniera look a like but had a strong citrus taste, and jalapenos. They were all good, my favorite was the Sriracha looking one. Service was good, plate was hot, place was clean from what I noticed. Parking is easy to find. She they said their goodbyes as we walked out, kudos. All in all, I wouldn't say this place is amazing as I'm from Chicago. But it's a good place, I recommend a visit as it's worth a try. read more

This is the beat restaurant in the quad cities. Try the poor man noodles, the lunch box, any appetizer

Absolutely amazing. This place exceeded my expectations twice. Seriously, I live 2 hours away and I think I'd make a road trip just to eat here. This place is the bomb. Visit 1: Thai and Korean and it doesn't get any better. I tried the pork belly Moo Krob Agra Pow and the lemongrass soup. The flavors were amazing, super tender. Visit 2: Thai dirty rice. OMG This place is killing it. I'm talking over the top good. I love SPICE - I'm talking ghost peppers, scorpion peppers... HOT. I ordered this dish with Thai spice level heat. The hottest they make! Let me put it this way, I had to throw the towel in. I was pouring sweat off my head, if you like it HOT - take it as a challenge. This is legit Thai. I'm on business down here and will for sure hit this again, again, and again. I would argue that if you like Asian food this is THE best restaurant in Quad cities. The service even when busy was outstanding, beer selection was great! I have to say that as far as Thai goes I've tried quite a few places and thus far this is absolutely the best. Much respect for this business, all of their employees are engaged, on the ball, smiling and they love their jobs. It is quite the experience to be in this amazing place! read more

The inviting staff at Lemongrass Cafe was the stand-out in my dinner experience. I was checked in on at the beginning, middle, and end of my meal, which was very attentive. I was expecting very authentic food because of the offerings on the menu, but I thought it was Americanized, though that isn't criticism towards the food since I still really enjoyed it - just expect more more sweet and savory and less spicy. Based on the server's recommendation, I went with gra pow pork belly, which is unique because it's a dehydrated meat and has a crunch to it. It was well balanced with vegetables. The texture of the pork belly is between jerky and meat eat so I would have liked my usual chicken better, but this was something different to try. The tom yum soup was excellent - again, with a plentiful amount of vegetables. read more
