Extremely small portion for the pork chop with rice. Only 4oz of meat total on 1 tiny pork chop. It has no flavor and is extremely dry and tough. The curry we got we decent but it did not come with basil as described on the menu. We had to ask for it and received a tiny amount. The mochi was $8 for 3 pieces and tastes like it came from H Mart. Stick with their pho and don't get anything complicated here. They are very cheap with ingredients. read more

Finally made it back here. I got the flank and brisket Pho! It was delicious and the next time I visit I will likely get the same dish. The meat is cooked perfectly, food comes out in a timely manner and the service is great. Definitely a perfect dish for a cold day, or any day to be honest. Go check it out! read more

Great food! I have had the Pho here twice now and it does not disappoint. The broth is so fresh and flavorful. The staff is friendly and hardworking. The photo I have attached is the Pho soup with brisket and meatballs. We love adding lime to it. Absolutely delicious fresh and delicious! read more

Lemongrass - Pho with 2 Meats (brisket and meatballs) - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

The Pad Thai is not authentic. Noodles too fat, flavor flat. Taste like something made from a packet at the grocery store. I won't be going back. read more

My wife and I had dinner at Lemongrass on a Thursday at around 4:30 p.m. Needless to say, that is not prime hour for a restaurant. There were about 3 other tables occupied. Our waiter was new and really hadn't learned the menu or the alcohol. Maybe it was his first job so I give him room. But, not the restaurant. Training of new employees is the restaurant's job, not the customer's. Before I go further, I will say that one visit to a restaurant at a non busy time does not define the restaurant. Things change from day to day but you always hope for consistency. I ordered Pad Thai noodles. As things go, it was about average tasting though prepared with nice appearance and a nice sized portion. My wife got Pork Fried Rice. The thin pork slices in the dish were nicely thin cut. And also the portion was large. However, my wife said her dish lacked flavor, something I confirmed for myself. I am a person who likes to see a restaurant stick it's neck out a little and commit to distinct flavors, hopefully pleasant and make me want to come back for more. But not so that early evening. On the cleanliness side of things, the restroom was clean. Our table had the dried visible film of a wet rag swipe across the surface and I had to wonder about bacteria in that situation. Our drink menu had something spilled on it as well, see attached photo. Little things spell clean or dirty in the restaurant as a whole. It is important for someone to go through the menus and clean them. As far as going back to this venue, not sure I will with other viable choices in town. But I do recommend folks giving it a try, they have some dishes not found elsewhere in town and you may find things to your liking. read more

Lemongrass - Dirty Drink Menu - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Good Pho is hard to come by! The broth is either watery or the meat is skimped out on. I can guarantee neither of these will be a problem at lemongrass! The broth is very flavorful but not overly salty, they also give very generous amount of meat with the dish. I also appreciate the bean sprouts, mint, jalapeños, and lime! Other restaurants haven't given that when ordering to go which dampens the experience. If it's a cold gloomy day some pho will make it all ok. Ask for some chili oil for an extra kick! Definitely my go to here in Tallahassee, I would go more often if it was closer. read more

gross. don't come here. Worst krab rangoon i've ever had too much cream cheese it was inedible. Worst pad thai. The noodles were hard. 0/10

DO NOT EAT HERE I found 2 small brown bugs in my lo mein when I had take out from here. read more

Lemongrass - DO NOT EAT HERE Found 2 small brown bugs in my lo mein - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

They do a great job with the delivery/take out model. I have ordered delivery twice in the last week. That being said, due to NO fault on their part, certain menu items deal better than others with reheating at home. Think twice about ordering an entree with noodles already in a sauce for example. I live alone so an entree is more than one meal for me. My last entree egg fo young was perfect. Held up in the microwave the second day perfectly. The calamari also did well with reheating in the oven. So if you are getting delivery, just use common sense about your choices. The food is awesome if you make the right choices, in other words. read more

Lemongrass is my absolutely favorite restaurant! The food is always hot, fresh and made with wonderful ingredients. My family has only ever had wonderful experiences at this restaurant, and I am so glad that they are still in business despite the hardships of the pandemic! This last visit I got the Pad King with shrimp, and it is excellent. It has such an incredible ginger flavor with lots of actual strips of ginger stir fried into it! The vegetables were cooked to perfection - carrots, onions, red and green peppers, baby corns, and of course the fresh ginger strips were all perfectly crisp-tender. The shrimp was perfectly cooked as well and very flavorful. I asked for medium spice, and that's exactly what I got, spicy but not too spicy. Delicious! This is my favorite dish of all time, and I hope they keep making it the same way, with plenty of fresh ginger! The atmosphere in the restaurant is so nice, quiet and not too bright with lots of cozy booths. The servers are amazing, very friendly and wonderful to interact with. Service is plenty quick, and the food is always hot when it arrives. Almost everything about this restaurant is ideal, with the only disappointment being that the craft beers on tap have been sold out every time we go, lol and we don't like standard beers like Bud, Miller or Michelob, so that leaves us out of luck for a good craft beer on tap to go with our awesome food. However, they've always at least had Yuengling in bottles, not nearly as good as local craft beer on tap, but acceptable. Maybe we'll get lucky some day and find that they aren't sold out of Proof850! Then everything will be perfect! My family hopes that Lemongrass stays in business for a long, long time, and we'll keep going back! read more

Lemongrass - Shrimp Pad King is so delicious! The best ginger flavor imaginable and fresh, crisp-tender vegetables! - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I was in the mood for some good Vietnamese food, but the one place I wanted to visit was already closed. So I found that Lemongrass was pretty close by and paid a visit. Walking in I was greeted by one of their servers/hostesses (the short Asian one) who was all smiles and very polite. I told her I was ordering takeout and she led me to the bar to place my order. I ordered the 'Special Pho', which contains all the meats listed (except chicken) and costs an extra $2 than the regular pho price. Not a bad deal at all for the extra/variety of meat! On the side, summer rolls (of course, and a thai iced tea. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed with the food, but it wasn't bad. And the price was good. Nothing really stood out for me, honestly. Inside the restaurant is very dark. I guess it does help create a little bit of that "date night" mood, but the whole time I kept wondering, "Can anyone read the menu?" The employees were all polite/courteous, but the only one to even smile was the one who greeted me. Everyone else seemed so damn down! Maybe they were just tired for the day and going through the motions, but I felt sorry for them even though there may have been no reason to. Yes, that's how sad they looked. Overall, this isn't a bad place to go, but there are probably better options in the area. And it's right next door to a food court that had a number of other, good-looking meal options. read more

Lemongrass is ok. Their pho is ok but I would recommend their vermicelli dishes. I have been here before and the food was good, but they haven't adapted well to COVID times. They skimp on portions and they forgot to place a spring roll in my order. Now that COVID is ending I would go in person. It's much better if you do. A little far off Monroe Street, but in a nice location at Tallahassee Mall. I will definitely give it another review in the future (hopefully better). read more

The service was great here. I got the the chicken pad Thai and it had a lot of flavor. I do suggest if you like spicy you need to say so because I got medium spice and there was no spice at all. My roommate got the cashew chicken and it came with like no chicken and they took the dish back and remade it the way she asked. Lemon Grass also has a happy hour and Sunday brunch that seems like great deals if your time aligns with the schedule. read more

Lemongrass - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience here. For starters there was no one in the place and we were seated in the back. Our waitress acted as if she had some sort of grudge towards serving us and so we hardly saw her when we needed water and drink refills. The food was ok. However watch out, the calamari comes with a side of hair. *gag* the location is so secluded we almost never found it. When we called for directions the guy on the phone also acted as if he did not want the business or wanted to assist. We probably should have taken heed to that then. read more

Really yummy food! I've only tried their Pho and Banh Mi because I always go back for the same thing because it's delicious! Other guests with me have enjoyed their pad thai and shrimp fried rice. Their thai tea is also a must try! read more

This restaurant had been on my "to try" list for a while. I live within walking distance from my favorite one and thought maybe I should give it a try on Valentine's day. I ordered for pick up and as I was told, they were pretty busy so to wait 45 minutes for my food to be ready. I arrived and just so you know, there is a sign that says wait to be seated. Skip it. I stood there for about 5 minutes before I realized the two staff members bussing tables and taking payments were at the bar. I sat down at the bar, fully aware they were very busy due to the special date, and waited. To make a long wait short. A staff member checked on us and assured us our food would be out soon and apologized a lot for the wait. I got home, and tried the food. It was very oily and bland. Both dishes, I'd hoped, would be very spicy but not even the spice was there. I called the next day thinking maybe they ran out of ingredients and lo and behold, they had. I tried this restaurant again for free and the food had more taste but not worth trying again. The second time I tried this restaurant, it was for free due to the attention the manager gave me listening to my first experience compliant. However, the wait time to pick up the food was longer this time and staff were down to two and one cook for a restaurant that had busy tables and two other people picking up. I have no complaints for the staff members there. They were honestly doing everything they could. To be honest, if I were one of them and got my base pay for all the business that was going on with minimal members... I'd be discouraged. Final thoughts, I will not be trying this place again and hope their food improves and their staff members become more numerous. read more

Not a fan. After waiting 10+ minutes for a hostess to even acknowledge us at 2:30 pm on a Sunday, we were finally seated at a dirty table when the place was not really busy. The food isn't great and the service is only slightly better. We were really just disappointed overall. My sushi was not the freshest in the world either. The Thai curry soup was the best part of the meal. I hate giving low ratings but this place needs to step it up. read more

Lemongrass - Our first time here! Lunch with the hubbo. - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

My friends and I wanted to try somewhere we've never been in the Tallahassee area and we were craving Asian cuisine. We looked for Asian food in Yelp and decided on Lemongrass as none of us have been before. We came around 6:30 and got seated right away. The restaurant has an intimate vibe and a cool atmosphere. The menu offers a vast array of different Thai food to choose from. I ordered the chicken cashew wok and asked for it spicy as I live for the extra kick in my food. They didn't make it as spicy as a like my Thai food and my waitress took the plate back and when it returned it was perfect. Overall, I think Lemongrass is a great Thai option in the Tallahassee area and definitely a place to give a try! read more

Lemongrass - Cashew wok - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

if I could give this place a negative 0 I would. The food was cold, the service was slow and the owner threatened to call the police on me after I refused to pay for a cocktail drink that I was not pleased with. The Pina Colada I ordered was yellow in color and so thick I needed a spoon to drink/eat it. There was no alcohol in the drink and I expressed this to the owner and he was very defensive and refused to hear me out. This was an horrible eating experience. I wouldn't feed this food to my dog. read more

I had an opportunity to go back Lemongrass and I must admit the food is good. The Pad See Ew, Drunken Noodles, and Beef Stew are amazing!

Stopped by here for a quick lunch and wasn't disappointed! I went with two of my friends and we decided to split 3 dishes. We ordered the chicken pad Thai, panang curry and the spicy garlic chicken "from the wok". All we're good and tasty, I think my favorite was the the curry though. Decently sized for how affordable it was, each dish was $8 on the lunch menu! Also my roommate got an order of the summer rolls to start which were really good, get extra peanut sauce, it makes the dish. I personally started with a Thai coconut soup which is very similar to tom kha. Most places butcher tom kha pretty bad but theirs was really flavorful and pretty spot on. They are known for their pho which I didn't get this time, but I'll be back to give it a try! Overall good experience and good food. read more

I have had their Pho with several different combinations of meat and veggies and it is all good! It's a very good deal for the money, because you not only pay $10 (adjust for inflation or whatever influences menu pricing) for your bowl of Pho, but you also get enough to take home for at least one more meal. Point being the portions are generous and almost too good to be true. Some of the best Pho I have had in Tallahassee The only critique for the restaurant that I have is that the atmosphere in there always seems somber to me. It's nearly too quiet even with a full dining room which could be alleviated by installing a water feature for a more balanced ambiance. read more

We ordered from here and most of our food was very good including the pho !! But my green curry was subpar and had little curry sauce that barely covered the bottom of the bowl. The sauce itself was not creamy and overall not tasty. Kinda disappointed. But the service was good & the people who work there are amazing !! read more

Lemongrass is the newest addition to the Centre of Tallahassee. The restaurant serves Vietnamese, Thai, and sushi dishes; although I've only had the Vietnamese dishes at this restaurant and their previous restaurant (Far East). Their Vietnamese dishes are are that good. We had ph (beef noodle soup) topped with brisket and flank steak and bún (vermicelli rice noodles topped with shredded pork). Both dishes were excellent. The ph broth tasted like it was slowly simmered on the stove for hours; full of flavor with a nice balance of beef, aromatics, and fish sauce tastes. My only criticism was that the noodles were slightly underdone. The bún had a nice mix of noodles, vegetables, and delicious pork. The service was great (thank you, Justine) and the food came out quickly, which was impressive since it was opening night. read more

I give this a one star the frozen appetizer of a Vietnamese spring roll the squid salad was something off of a pre-bought buffet the stirfry was greasy and oily the coconut soup tasted like dishwater Also the service was that of every restaurant becoming in America nobody could say thank you come again absolutely nothing just drop the check and keep walking read more

I do love this place and because it is close to our house, my husband and me went there almost every week. But last Friday, we took out for dinner. I can't finish my bubble tea so I decided to pull the straw and put it in our refrigerator...guess what I found... this is crazy!!! Hopefully I did not swallow any of the broken pieces. And my husband was shocked too, he checked the straw and it is not really fragile so don't know why it was broken like this... I saw several pieces float on the top of the drink... I feel I might not go to lemon grass for a while to recover from this bad experience... even it is a take out order, you guys still need to check the quality before you give them to the customer...hope no one has the same experience like me. read more

Lemongrass - Broken straw... - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

The best pho in Tally, as far as I can tell, and the best of a lot else too. Everything tastes fresh, and there's a robustness to the meat and the broth that is impossible to get any other way than real cooking know-how and good ingredients. My girlfriend and I got the clay pot and the pho, and she got the boba tea. Really substantial portions that were, nonetheless, gone all too quickly. The atmosphere is pleasant, quiet and refined and clean, and the service was quick and friendly. I can see this becoming a focal point of the Tallahassee mall in my mind, and can't wait to go again. read more

We used to love Far East in the old location because it had great pho, very convenient, and a pleasant staff. Needless to say, we were sad to hear that they were moving, but at least it wasn't forever. That out of the way, imo Lemongrass is worth the extra time it takes us to get there. The pho is still good, the staff is still nice, and venue's interior is comfortable, though a little more cramped. I hope that this new spot is successful for them and will be going back many times. read more

The place is run by a Vietnamese family and the food is authentic. I has the pho with eye round beef, really good. I especially enjoy pho when feeling a bit under the weather. Also had the spring rolls and summer rolls as appetizers, both very good. We also had the vermicelli noodles with grilled pork, delicious. It has a Asian BBQ flavor on the meat that is enhanced by the sauce that accompanies it. It is a nice place with a good atmosphere to bring dates or families. These are the locally owned locations that need to supported to keep them in business. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. read more

Very good food and extremely fresh! The staff was very sweet and I felt like they truly wanted to make me feel appreciated!

This is our go to neighborhood restaurant when we want a good bowl of Pho and an order of Summer rolls. We have tried most of the menu and have never been disappointed. They have the good light Lucky Buddha lager beer there too. This is an easy place to have a quiet meal with no big to do. read more

I used to go to Far East Cuisine where they had a good Vietnamese food in Tallahassee. Now they upgrade to a higher lever is Lemon grass. The quality of food might be the same but everytime I order Pho, they look like they ran out of basil or they severed with a 2 or 3 basil leafs. Today i went to here with my husband and ordered Pho and I asked to give me more basil, then the waitress said the restaurant had just ran out of basil. I think How can the big restaurant is ran out of the vegetable in the afternoon when a lot of people come to have lunch. I really don't understand and not feel comfortable. I hope they will give the customer more vegetables when they oder Pho or Beef stew. read more

Lemongrass - Thai Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I've been here a few times and have enjoyed it. The clay pot hasn't changed since they moved locations. Tonight, drunken noodles, pad prik King, and beef stew. We ordered 3 specialty sushi rolls and were not told they didn't have sushi for 10 minutes after our order was placed. No sushi? No eel or kamakazi! So sad. The past couple times I've been here, I've been disappointed in the flavoring or lack there of. This is not the quality that it used to be. I am sorry for that. read more

I called ahead to order. The restaurant was to open at 11. They told me to call back at 11:30. No big deal. I waited. I came in to pick up my order. It took about 5 minutes to be greeted or acknowledged, but the hostess was nice enough when she finally appeared, so no big deal. The bag with my food was waiting on the bar unattended. There wasn't much business, so I shrugged it off. I got home and discovered the bahn mi roll was freezer burnt. I was so excited to try it. I haven't had bahn mi in years. I was very tempted to drive all the way back there and go get my money back, but I didn't feel like wasting gas and pleading my case to apathetic ears. Wasted money. I won't be returning. read more

You won't be disappointed the food is great! I had fried rice with tofu and vegetable spring rolls and they were bangin'.
