    Duck Noodle Soup
    Melanie M.

    The Duck Noodle Soup is so good! Service was excellent. Waitress was nice and attentive. Place is chill and clean. I'd come back but I wouldn't order the fried calamari though. Too rubbery. But the soup made up for it overall.

    Tom Kha Soup
    Rick D.

    Hidden gem! We've come here for weekend dinners and it's never crowded--no idea why, because the food is amazing. The roasted duck is the best I've had, Thai or Chinese. Crispy, tender, and consistently excellent every time. The tom kha soup with chicken is rich and fragrant, with a bright lemongrass kick. Comes in a firepot--be careful scooping over the flame (learned that the hard way!). Red curry chicken is bold and flavorful, and the portions are big. We like to order a few dishes and share--Thai buffet style. Underrated spot. Go before everyone else discovers it.

    Salad with ginger dressing
    Karla C.

    This is a great place for lunch and they have a lunch special with included a meal and salad for only $10. The food was so good! I loved the Panang Curry, it tasted so fresh and you could taste the creamy coconut. I also got to the pad Thai and it was good, but a little on the sweater side. The staff was so friendly here! I loved the salad dressing and they mentioned that I could buy it. It was not that busy, but we came at 1 on a Tuesday so we probably missed the lunch crowd.

    New Menu Items
    Brittany W.

    Condensed version: We tried it for the first time on Tuesday and came back 47 hours later for more. Alright, y'all. Story time! As parents with an infant, we elect to do take out versus ruining everyone else's night with a teething baby, so we have not had the opportunity to dine in. Despite that, the place was very cozy and clean. The staff was amazingly attentive and full of hospitality that far exceeded expectations. I'll dive into that more later. Being Asian American and loving Thai food, I already knew what I wanted and had expectations on what I received. My handsome man, however, is an Italian American who cannot take the heat. The first time I got him to try Thai food, he fell in love with Crispy Duck, so we have been looking for a spot close to home that offered it. Y'all.. not only are there several chef specials with duck (He's tried the Hit & Run, Drunken Noodles with Duck, and the Queen of Duck with Thai Basil Sauce), but it's an option to be the protein with ANY dish on their menu!!! Keep in mind: if you order Crispy Duck, they quote you 20 minutes for takeout. Being appetizer lovers, we elected to bring home the appetizer sampler. I also couldn't be trusted to walk into a Thai restaurant and not order their fresh rolls (aka summer rolls). I will totally vouch for the cream cheese crab rolls, but if you're a savory person (like me), perhaps ask to get peanut sauce to replace one of the two sweet n sour sauces. Trust me- it definitely works together, especially when doctored with some sriracha. My man had all of the Daffys & Donalds on the menu, but I went straight for the good flavors and the HEAT! Nothing is better for preventing a cold than that delicious, tasty burn of a Thai hot dish. I grabbed the Seafood Combination Red Curry (Thai Hot) for dinner and ordered Pad Thai with Chicken (Thai Hot) to take to the office for lunch. ATTENTION Thai food loving enthusiasts: When you order Thai hot here, it is traditional, native Thailand hot. It is NOT the over-exaggerated, burn your face off "Thai hot" that restaurants make to please Americans. Keep that in mind when you're ordering. I genuinely love delicious and spicy food, so I was a little surprised when it didn't have that sinus-clearing heat I'm used to getting with Thai hot dishes. Not mad, just surprised. As if all of the delicious food wasn't reason enough to return, the fact that the server quickly whipped up my Thai tea to drink while I waited for the food, was awesome. Then, she took it a step further. When my food was ready, she insisted on bringing the bags out to my car so that I could get the baby into the car seat. The hospitality is vital for me when it comes to the decision to revisit a place and Lemongrass deserves an A+ for that effort alone. Bonus credit goes to the delicious food and my absolute favorite summer rolls in SA! Presentation for each dish was immaculate, even in the to go boxes. I wish I had sufficient proof, but we dug into our piping hot food before we could even make it to our dining room table. Honestly, I think my man would love to just grab more crispy duck for dinner every night. I'm not mad at the idea of it. Momma can use a break, too!

    Pork Dumplings
    Jennifer D.

    First time here and it didn't disappoint. Appetizers were wraps and pork dumplings. Both were very good. The lettuce wrap is big enough that it would make a nice dinner for one. Our dinner was the chicken pad Thai and the yellow curry with pork. Both meals were flavored very nicely. These aren't heavy meals either. I didn't feel like I was gonna roll outta there .

    Red Curry with Tofu
    Briane J.

    I enjoyed the curry so much, I've dreamt of it since. So creamy and flavorful and paired well with the tofu and definitely filling for the price. We came right after they opened for the evening so it was quiet and relaxed. The staff was sweet and I love a non-franchise restaurant (support small businesses!) I'll be making the drive to this side of town to get this curry again and try something new!

    Nice dining area; plenty of seating

    These ladies are on it!! Very friendly and fast service! I'd seen this little place nestled Inside the Park Oaks Center - North Central area of San Antonio for a while now; I've been coming down here often over the past year due to needing to take some tests for work in the same plaza. Today we stopped by to check them out Greetings as soon as I walked in from the very chilly cold and BRRRRRRR!!! It's cold inside too but Wait! They have a cute little "fireplace" hooked up right beside the front hostess' counter putting out quite a bit of ambient heat!!! I'm wondering tho if the buildings heat has gone out in here? Or if they just have it turned WAY down to save on the electricity bill!!! lol I sit down while waiting for the husband and enjoy their current special - crispy chicken wings with sticky rice and a Sauce that OH MAN!!! It's a cross between sriracha and sweet and sour, and... DELICIOUS!!! This is something NEW for even ME!!! I HAFTA take some home!!! Next I order an entree called Num Prik Pao Sauce with Beef. A yummy mix of Sautéed bell pepper, onions, scallions, mushrooms, carrots, celery, and baby corn in num prik pao sauce topped with roasted cashew nuts. The sauce is a brown sauce with a nice little kick; their peppers are dried and ground; something else new for me to experience that lends a slight thickening agent to the sauce. It's spicy, with crisp tender veggies served with white rice (you can also get it with fried or brown rice too!) nice rich flavor. Beef is VERY tender! Something else also love that they serve small purple orchids alongside most of their dishes (which are edible!) and I did partake! Very fresh and super beautiful too!! I love that this little place includes not so common menu items; not your normal Thai/American fair - I will hafta come back and explore more dishes!! Thanks ladies!!

    Paid Thai with beef spice level 5! Delicious!
    Izamar D.

    Amazing little gem. Fresh summer rolls and egg Rolls were SO fresh and to die for. Had to take an extra order of egg rolls to go because they were that good- crunchy, fresh and definitely not frozen. Service was fast and friendly. Pad thai and yellow curry were great, def coming back!

    I haven't been here in years, and today, I realized it's been too long. While the prices are a little higher, the amount of food you get is a great value. I came with a party of 7, and the waitress took care of us like a champ. The food also came out extremely fast. It's almost like the kitchen was listening for our orders. We all ordered different dishes so we could taste each other's food and every dish was delicious. The restaurant is comfortable with ample space and brightly decorated. They have a steady stream of takeout and dine in orders. We had dumplings, spring rolls, combo plates, Wonton soups, seafood salad, panang and green curries, Lemongrass special rice, and drunken noodles with duck. We all left with leftovers and smiles on our faces. Great job, Lemongrass. we will be back!

    Growing up in Texas, I knew nothing about Thai food. On a business trip I went to Thailand and I…read morefell in love with the food, country and people. Walking in here reminded me of places we ate - the Texas sized Buddha made it easy to remember that we were still in Texas. The smells, the food, the service was very reminiscent of being in Thailand. Being Friday, we started with the potatoe soup (only available on Fridays). It was tasty even though there was nothing "Thai" about it. The large bowl fills 4 of the cups with a little left over. The crunchy wonton strips were hot, crispy with a nice sweet and sour sauce. The wife had pineapple fried rice, one of her favorites at any Thai restaurant, they did not disappoint. I had the chicken larb salad, medium spicy, and it delivered spice and the citrus acid from limes, very good. Portion sizes are generous. After the soup course, my wife and I are bringing about half of each entree for tomorrow lunch. Service was prompt and it's worth another visit, even at 45 minutes away from where I live. Pro Tip: scan the QR code at the table to get the menu. They don't keep their paper menus current with either prices or choices, probably the only knock I have against this place.

    So? I'm a traveling foodie! I miss my Birth town. When any of you travel to Texas. In San Antonio!…read more You must try this place for Thailand Food American Style! The employees knew I was very picky when I order my dishes. The service!! Perfection every moment I walked through their doors. Sit for awhile. Enjoy the authentic flavors that this restaurant brings to the community. Even the artwork. The service is top-notch. Do I miss my old restaurants. Yes, I do. Do I hold everybody in America to high standards. Yes, I do. If you travel, and if you live there. This is the best authenticity of Thailand, American food. If you want to know where to go for the best. Order the Curries add Spice Yum. This place is it Thank You. Five Stars Always!!!!!
