After lack of service received at a bar and grill in Carmel by the Sea, we were feeling a bit peckish as we drove through Moss Landing and discovered this wonderful little restaurant on the side of highway 1. Though it was very close to closing time, we were immediately greeted warmly by the staff and seated in a well decorated and comfortable restaurant. We ordered the mermaid appetizer, combination pad Thai, and shrimp and calamari entree. Everything was delicious, well prepared and beautifully plated. I only wish we lived closer so that we could visit more frequently read more

3 1/2 stars = We're very familiar with LemonGrass as we used to dine here frequently before moving. We've always loved *everything we've had here. Service continues to be exceptional! Thank you Kayla and Nina, you're both delightful! I wasn't thrilled with my meal. I ordered a (vegan) tofu noodle dish, yet it contained egg and definitely had a fishy component. The noodles congealed which made them difficult to eat. Our grandson ordered the Penang curry and enjoyed it. My husband ordered the seafood Pad Thai and had zero leftovers. We dined outside on the patio. While I miss the birds, I thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous mural. read more

We picked this place because we were hungry, and we were on our way to Carmel. Located right off the 404, it was an unassuming restaurant. As we walked in, we were surprised to see how quaint it was. Our hostess was very friendly, and she gave us some recommendations. We ordered the pad see-eu and the basil eggplant stir fry, plus a fried calamari appetizer. They quickly served the calamari, which we especially appreciated after such a long drive. The calamari had a perfectly crispy batter as well as tender squid pieces. After finishing the appetizer, we got our entrees. The pad see-eu had great wok hei, which provided a nice charred flavor and aromatics. The flavor itself was pretty straightforward and expected. The eggplant stir fry came with an assortment of vegetables and had a great flavor. The portions were both quite large and generous, and if we weren't so hungry, we'd have leftovers. The only mediocre aspect was the beef, which was a bit chewier than what we were hoping for. Overall, service was great and food was tasty. We would come again. read more

The food was "pretty good", although I wish there were like combo plate type options to try a few things. The menu is so extensive, I just want to try a little bit of everything, not order tons of food. Service was great, always refilling waters and checking in. Looks like they have seating out back in a patio-but we sat inside. read more

We ordered a variety of dishes from calamari, artichoke hearts, to the fish Su An special, Thai, cioppino, pad Thai, lemon grass tom yum, crab and pineapple fried rice, yellow curry and fish and chips! It was all so delicious! Our family loved it all! Can't wait to have more celebrations here! Portions are generous for family style!! They do charge $10 cake slice fee even though they didn't serve it. Other than that service was great! The ladies there are super friendly and attentive! read more

My niece is visiting for the holidays, she used to live in Seaside and now lives in Sicily and she wanted Thai. She loves Lemongrass and I wanted to see why. Now my niece is vegetarian, eats fish and shrimp and veggies. Her mom is allergic to everything, so going out to eat can be challenging. Serviced was great, we were acknowledged upon entry and seated right away. We were not rushed to make a meal decision, waitress answered our questions and promptly served us our drinks. We ordered the Tom Ka all veggies for starters, hot and delicious. The Tofu Yellow curry for my niece, chicken curry for my sister with out carrots, spicy chicken fried rice without carrots and bell peppers and the Lemongrass Thai Steak that was served sizzling over a bed of grilled vegetables and small side dish of sauce. Over all presentation was great, the food was delicious. For dessert we got 3 items and shared. The friend banana with coconut ice cream, the hot lava chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and traditional sticky rice with mango. Worth the 1hr drive out here. The restaurant has a little patio in the middle of the restaurant, surrounded by plants and murals on the fence that surrounds the area. read more

We've been struggling to find quality Thai food lately so were really looking forward to trying this place as have heard decent reviews. However, we left disappointed.. We were sat right away at 7:30pm on a Saturday night, however we sat a while, where we knew everything we wanted, before our drink orders were taken and they didn't seem overly busy. Our server, Nina, came up and apologized for the wait and took our orders. We were considering sharing a bowl of Tom Kha vs the pot so asked what the bowl size was. Nina showed us a very small bowl, where I stated "thats pretty small for a $10.99 and she rebutted with "You keep asking the price on things, but everything costs more now". That didn't sit right with me since I had only asked questions such as "Does the rice come with the dish, etc". We do pay attention to cost, but aren't that concerned when it comes to quality food. We decided to get the Tom Kha shrimp pot, pad Thai combination, and Pumpkin panang curry with sticky rice and side of sweet sticky rice. For drinks I had a large hot sake and my guy the Phuket Cooler. The drinks and soup came out before long where my guy wasn't impressed with his drink as I we even dbl checked it was supppsed to come with alcohol. It looked nice, but tasted like fruit juice, without any hint of alcohol. We both made a face after our first bite of the Tom Kha soup. It was super sweet and bland with hardly any lime flavor. We both added chili spices to it and since our server didn't come back for a while we used the lime garnish from our drink to flavor the soup. We were hungry so managed to eat our bowl, but both agreed was the worst Tom Kha we've ever had. Moving on, we really hoped our main dishes were better.. The rest of the food was timed well and arrived hot. I have to say the sticky rice was a nice portion and was perfectly cooked. My pumpkin panang curry was tasty enough, and was the better dish with what we ordered in my opinion. My guy wasn't super impressed with his Pad Thai, which was "ok" with a larger portion of tofu compared to any meats for the combination plate he ordered. We finished most of our food, but hadn't seen our server in quite some time, actually from the food order and soup arrival..I'm pretty sure she was in the back trying to close down the restaurant. Another younger guy stopped by and asked if he could clear plates, then stopped in a second time where I asked if he was our server now(?) He didn't know how to answer that question and said "I don't think so" and scurried off to ring up our check and get boxes. Our server popped back up and brought us the check, asked how everything was where I replied it was "ok". She left it alone as did we where we left saying we wouldn't be back and were disappointed. We really wanted to like this place.. read more

One of our favorite restaurants in the Monterey Bay Area. Among my favorites are the crab cake appetizers and he Thai cioppino, served with a bed of rice and flavored by a most delicious yellow curry. They also offer a full bar and provide courteous attentive service. read more

Lemongrass - Fish special with mango. Must try. We paired this with the combo Pad Thai. - Thai Near Me - Moss Landing, California

We called in our order, and the food was ready in 15 minutes. It tasted good, though not spicy at all. There are spicy chili condiments that you can add--still not very spicy. But it was okay because the flavors were tasty, textures of noodles were present, and vegetables and onions were cooked through. The leftovers were enough for a second meal, making the prices very reasonable. As one of the only restaurants open in Moss Landing after 6PM, it was a great option. They also have a full bar and bartender. read more

Good choice, very nice staff but Personally, I think (I worked 10 years in Thai restaurants) it is not very authentic tom kha very sweet, but the rest was decent the mango sticky rice was spectacular. read more

There are very few good restaurants in the Moss Landing area, and this is one of them. Family run, food is consistently good Thank you! read more

Service was good and attentive, Food was good but small servings and a bit pricey. Place was neat and clean. Patio area cute.

The food here is very good. Prices are high but that's pretty common for Thai food. I will say the Mieng Kham though delicious is very overpriced (pictured). It's literally 1 shrimp cut into 6 pieces. This particular day they also didn't give very many peanuts so it was just coconut and the sauce and some lime. The tofu Pad Thai and veggie egg rolls are my favorite. The servers are always very nice and accommodating. There's plenty of tables and the restaurant is always very clean. read more

Im a foodie and I have to say this was by far the worst food!! The cook didn't even try. We had the fried artichoke hearts the crab cakes and the clam chowder. The chowder was gritty and had zero flavor. We took one bite and was done. The crab cakes looked terrible and the artichoke had no flavor. We spent $60. Big disappointment. read more

Incredible customer service, and great food, and the environment is very cozy and clean. Would recommend

We got takeout and we were pleasantly surprised! * Everything was packed well * We thought the prices were reasonable * The chicken pad thai was a little ketchup-y, but not in a bad way at all! I just thought I'd warn folks since it's a little different. My sister and I like ketchup so we liked it. * We also got the drunken noodles, pad see ew, panang curry, and spicy red curry with seafood. Everything was solid! Good portion size. I'd be up for eating at the restaurant someday! read more

Lemongrass is the only Thai spot in moss landing, and it's arguably okay. I got the Tom kha and my friend got the pad Thai. The pad Thai was much better, while the tom kha was thin and bland. Next time I will probably make the drive to Soquel or pacific grove for better food. read more

Not a real pretty place, but who cares! Simply good food! Don't miss the seared Ahi appetizer, we bought one, then had to have another. Sweet gal, "Mercy" who waited on us. Very nice. We ate on a Saturday night, then came back the following night. Loved it. Will be back next time we are in the area. read more

Excellent service, the ambiance was very cozy and comfortable. We were immediately greeted and tended to graciously. The water they served us tasted great. We had Fish & Chips and Tom Kha soup (special order). Be mindful they include tomatoes in the soup. I added my own flare to it by adding noodles and carrot decorations from my boyfriend's plate (as shown in the photo). Our food was served hot, had a rich flavor, and the tofu and mushrooms in the soup were firm and also had nice flavor. Very filling! The fish and chips were delicious and the salad had a sweet dressing that added a nice touch (I ended up sneaking a piece of fish off his plate too it was so good!). Thanks guys! We'll be back to try more menu items. read more

I've worked in Moss Landing for 7 years and always heard this place was delicious. I only recently came for the first time and I've made it my weekly go to spot. The service is good and their food is amazing! Gotta try their lemongrass tom yum soup. It's like nothing I've had. Write. They put their own twist on it. Yellow curry is my favorite so far. Peanut sauce is more superior than other places I've been. Gotta try this place. Will not be disappointed read more

Hello negative star is what u guys deserve. Waited for 20 minutes and followed up twice. Senior waitress started arguing and no empathy. We had kids with us and we were asked to leave. I was almost on the verge of calling the cops On the restaurant. Strictly recommend not going there. Don't care if the food is good, basic empathy, listening is terrible. Anyone else faced this, please post on yelp. read more

Love this Thai restaurant. The owner and staff are always so friendly. And the food is different than most Thai restaurants and delicious. I like that they offer multiple fresh seafood dishes. It's a must try if you are passing through. Highly recommend read more

We had a great dinner at Lemongrass. Especially loved the coconut milk and vegetable soup - so delicious. The Tom Kah is the vegetarian/vegan one, as the Tom Yum is made with a shrimp bouillon. We also loved the sesame balls, it was a treat to have fresh ones, so much better than the ones you can buy at an asian supermarket that are not fresh. I had the pad thai which was standard and okay. Another stand out was the Basil Eggplant - amazingly delicious. Not sure how they prepare the eggplant but it tasted roasted and a bit smoky, really great and so was the sauce and other vegetables. For dessert we shared the mango sticky rice. The mango was good and so was the sticky rice, but the rice was in the middle and the mango placed around it in a circle with a sweet white sauce around it rather than all together. For some reason it missed the mark but was still very tasty. It's a cute place with a decent sized parking lot, there is a little bar area if you prefer to sit in the bar, but we liked sitting in the restaurant part. Excellent friendly service and nice clean bathroom made this a great place for a vegan/veggie dinner. read more
