    The hours
    Michael H.

    This review is based on a recent visit and a couple of visits some time ago. In between those visits the vision for the conversion of Tallahassee Mall to The Center of Tallahassee has ended mid completion because the person with the vision passed away. The covered concert space across from this restaurant hasn't seen any performances in ages. Dreamland BBQ that abutted the venue has come and gone and Lemongrass has changed owners. What the original owners probably had hoped would be a destination dining spot has become a hidden restaurant down inside the old mall footprint. You have to know it's in there, that you can drive into that center of everything and that there are parking spaces down in there. I suppose they get some business from people going to the nail spa or the cut and shave shop nearby. I think I saw a fitness center there too. Oh yeah, with the demise of the original vision for The Center of Tallahassee, it now has a bunch of State of Florida employees as a captive audience for lunch. The original Lemongrass was Thai and Vietnamese food. With the new owners there is now a separate Indian food menu as well. I remember enjoying the Thai dishes in the past and the Indian dish I chose this time was tasty. I asked for medium spice level and I have to give them credit for actually spicing it. So many seem afraid to actually make a dish spicy. I ordered a Mango Lassi after the spice level started to build in my mouth and on my tongue so I could mitigate the burn a little bit. Milk products never fail me. The service was laconic. The one waiter seemed more interested in what was on his phone. He had trouble understanding my English and I had trouble understanding his English so I was pleased that I got what I ordered. The food came out in good time but I wouldn't count on much attention being paid after you get your food. The restaurant is showing wear and tear. Vinyl baseboards are missing or drooping. Booths are comfortable but worn. In summation, the food is fine but there's not much going on that would get me to come back. Kind of a shame. That whole area down in the center of The Center of Tallahassee had such promise.

    First, They were able to accommodate a large group of us on Valentine's Day which is very nice of them. All their staffs are very friendly. Our food came out at a timely manner considered we are a group of 17 people. Most if not all the Indian dishes are super good , no complain there. As for the Asian dishes, hum all need some improvement, all were below average. I will not order any Chinese dishes there. Even the Pho is just ok. Nothing special. Over all it is still a good experience.

    Went there last night: * Chicken Panang Curry: Really good * Kids' Butter Chicken: Also a hit * Krab Rangoon: Would skip next time * Spring Rolls: Tasty and well done Indian food added to Thai menu

    I had been wanting to try this place for a while, and a friend of mine told me she was not impressed with it. I tried it anyway. The inside had kind of a funny (non-food like) smell, but I got used to it quickly. I ordered a clay pot dish, and it was amazing! The soup was also delicious. The server was polite and came by occasionally. I would visit again.

    No spice, no flavor, no sauce, no effort. Salty, dry flavorless food. We asked for medium spice, none. Waste of money. We picked it up to go. Gross

    What an amazing and delicious restaurant. We ordered the fresh summer rolls with shrimp for appetizers. The rolls were great and the peanut dipping sauce *chef's kiss*. For entrees we ordered the Vermicelli noodles with pork. The dish was filled with so many different delicious flavors, fresh mint, sprouts and cilantro. We had both a mix of fish sauce and peanut sauce mixed in. We also ordered the chicken curry with rice. The curry was also delicious filled with chunks of chicken, potatoes and carrots.

    I really enjoyed my first time at Lemongrass I wish I had visited sooner! I just did the traditional fried rice and ate it all in one sitting. They rolled out a new drink menu so I tried two rum based cocktails that were very tasty. I hope they will continue with a BOGO during happy hour. If you haven't been deinftely suggest you stop by!

    Give it a few weeks. The chicken tasted old. The Vietnamese rolls were good, beer was cold. Don't order the wok items. Service was good.

Although no one was at the front when I first arrived, the owner quickly came out, seated me, and checked in throughout my meal to make sure everything was going well. His hospitality set a great tone for the visit. My server, Romeo, was outstanding--friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to explain how hot pot works, helped set up my table, and offered excellent broth and food recommendations. The broth temperature was perfect, and everything cooked just right. The restaurant itself felt a bit dated, but the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Even though it was quiet and I was dining alone, the attentive service and conversation made the experience enjoyable. While the location is somewhat hidden in a storefront area, this spot has strong potential and could be a big hit in a college town like Tallahassee with FSU, TCC, and FAMU nearby. Overall, it was well worth the visit, and I would definitely recommend Volcano Hot Pot.
