    bean sprouts, lime wedges, and ground peanuts
    Stephanie T.

    I recently came back to Lemonleaf Grill in Hicksville to pick up an order I placed in advance for a gathering at my coworkers' home. I ordered a full tray of beef Pad Thai ($180.00). Pad Thai is Thailand's famous stir-fried rice noodle dish and it balances sweet, sour, salty, and savory flavors. On the designated date and time, I walked into Lemonleaf Grill to pickup my order. I was amazed by the beautiful remodeling they did. I asked the staff member how long it's been and she said since November 4th. The inside and seating is now modern, warm, and bright. My order was ready for pickup and was placed behind the bar area. The Pad Thai was in an aluminum tray and covered with aluminum. The bean sprouts, lime wedges, and ground peanuts were packaged separately so it allows customers to put how much or how little they wanted. My coworkers really enjoyed the beef Pad Thai and it was some of theirs first time having Pad Thai. The Pad Thai was delicious and packed with flavor. I highly recommended Lemonleaf Grill in Hicksville. I can't wait to come back and dine in their remodeled space.

    Dont know how i have not been here sooner! This place is fantastic, i cannot wait to return. 10/10 the food is so great. Service isnt great but the food makes up for it

    The newly renovated lemon leaf is absolutely amazing. The interior decor is outstanding. Great ambiance, huge selection on the bar. The food? Absolutely amazing. We got chicken satay, chicken wings and a bunch of lunch specials and a ton of drinks. The service could have been better, it almost seemed like they didn't wanna be there. But as for the food, the spices, the flavor and the quality were all amazing. We ordered basil beef, Penang curry, eggplant and some other dishes. Everything was absolutely amazing. The food itself deserves 5 stars. If the service was better we'd go here way more often. But don't sleep on this place. Amazing.

    The new and updated Lemonleaf Grill is absolutely fantastic. The ambiance is no less than any fine dine restaurant. The food is excellent as always. So flavorful, fresh and delicious. The service is quick and the staff are really friendly. It's a MUST try.

    Food is great. It was a gloomy day and we were there at 6 pm. The server needs to fix her attitude. And I'm sure it's not a cultural thing. Just be pleasant. Don't have to bring your life drama into your service. Do your job and leave. Thanks

    The renovated lemon leaf is gorgeous, great decor and ambiance. The food 10/10, some of the best on the island. Great flavors, different levels of spice, everything was pure perfection. The service was sub par at best however. They messed up a few things and we were a party of 6 so we're not one to complain and they let us know at 350 they closed at 4 which was fine we requested the tab and they turned the lights off exactly at 4 while paying the tab which put a damper on the experience. The food was great the service not so much.

    26. Pad See Ew

    On our quest to find shrimp deep fried in eggroll wrappers aka shrimp mermaid for my son, we decided to have dinner here. First, no shrimp mermaids lol. But they have shrimp wrapped in egg noodles and then deep fried. Not the same thing. I enjoyed them but my felt there was too much egg noodles. Wound up taking most of it off and eating the shrimp. I got the massaman curry and it tasted great! I enjoyed it and there was plenty for leftovers. Wifey got the pad see ew with beef. She said it was okay. But it was mainly because she likes her beef crispy and charred. lol. I thought the beef was tasty. The taste reminded me of Korean kalbi. Plenty of leftovers there too. Atmosphere was okay. When we arrived for dinner there were no other customers. Sat anywhere we wanted. But there were plenty of seating and it was clean inside. Service was good. Quick. Not necessarily friendly but professional. Brought us water and the food came out in relatively short time. When asking to pack up the leftovers they brought out containers to the table and packed it for us. When paying by card they had a portable card scanner on them. I wouldn't mind coming back. But because they don't have shrimp mermaids and don't charr their beef, we will most likely continue on our quest elsewhere.

I couldn't get a refund because the restaurant had already accepted my order -- and since I was the one who cancelled, Uber Eats treated it as a voluntary cancellation. No refund.

    3.5 Stars for their lunch specials!…read more This was our first visit, and we only ordered a salad and two lunch specials. I would definitely come back to try other items from their regular menu. I found the entrees in the lunch special a little skimpy. These are the dishes we shared: -- Papaya Salad ($12): this is from their regular menu, and I thought it was excellent! Well balanced and so tasty! -- Drunken Noodles w.Beef (Lunch Special $14.95): this came with a Spring Roll and your choice of either Soup or Salad. We chose the Soup, which was a Tom Yum Soup. The Soup was very spicy but the Drunken Noodles were very mild; almost bland. It definitely needed more flavors and wok hei, but still ok. -- Massaman Curry w.Shrimp (Lunch Special $14.95): this came with a Spring Roll and your choice of either Soup or Salad. We chose the Salad, which came with a Peanut sauce. The Salad was actually pretty good; the peanut sauce was slightly sweet. The Massaman Curry w.Shrimp was very weak in flavor and only came with 3 little shrimps. I would suggest you order a different protein and skip the shrimp. Customer service was good; albeit there was nobody to greet us when we first arrived, so we just seated ourselves. But service got better. They didn't rush us to order and let us linger after we finished eating. But after a while, we were asked to leave since they close the restaurant in between the lunch and dinner service (between 3:30-4:30pm). Sorry, we were not aware of this! All in all, a decent first experience. Next time, I'd skip the lunch specials and just order off their regular menu.

Given the culinary brilliance here, if you order one of your favorites, it'll be done well, but you're better off trying something unique that might not be on the menu at your local Chinese, Indian or Thai spot. Chili tofu and basil ginger fish were two great showcases for the complex spices available here. (I'm a real American hero, I ate fourths since my parents preferred leftovers that didn't have the top spice levels). And if you're spice-adverse yet chili-curious, the honey chili potato is worth a shot. These are essentially fries. Our server, Ten, was amazing. He adeptly handled the multiple time frames of our orders and is ready to provide suggestions for those who didn't spend 40 minutes researching on Yelp. Part 2. I wish there was editing capability for older reviews. I'm a two-sentence guy - are there fish tacos, does it have strange hours of operation and will they sneer at me for wearing Kohls? - and my first Kunga Kitchen attempt was a bit extra.

I'm someone who thinks movies can be better if the character doesn't change or learn anything, but I tried for three-act structure and can't possibly top that original review so it would be better if I could a couple of recent entrees to the first one.

Wide rice noodles with that perfect chewy texture and beautiful wok hei char. The savory-sweet soy-based sauce coated everything perfectly, and the mix of tender chicken and juicy pieces made it incredibly satisfying. The Beef Red Curry was rich and aromatic with a luscious coconut milk base. The red curry paste had great depth. There was layers of lemongrass, galangal, and spices. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and Thai basil were fresh and plentiful. I loved how it had a nice kick that built up without overpowering the dish. The Chicken Satay came out perfectly grilled with beautiful char marks. The chicken was juicy and marinated well, and the peanut sauce on the side was creamy, nutty, and addictive. Finally, the Basil Chicken delivered that classic Thai street-food flavor. Plenty of fragrant holy basil, lots of garlic, and just the right amount of chili heat. The chicken was tender with great texture, and it paired amazingly with jasmine rice. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The portions were very generous too -- we had plenty of leftovers for the next day. As my son would say "10 out of 10!" but since we are on yelp, we'll have to settle with a 5.

    ***INDO-CHINESE FLAVOR BOMB IN YOUR MOUTH*** ***SUPER…read moreFRIENDLY FAMILY-RUN RESTAURANT*** INDO-CHINESE? In the early 1800's a large number of Chinese citizens, immigrated to Calcutta, a city in the northern part of India, close to China. After becoming established, many of these immigrants started opening restaurants to support themselves. And then, because of a lack of certain ingredients, and to tailor the food to the palates of the Indian citizens, these Chinese chefs altered their recipes. And these new recipes, incorporated certain Indian spices, and a heavier use of spices and sauces - which made these new style dishes especially appealing - and created what is known today as Indo-Chinese, or Indian-style Chinese food. MASTER CHEF MIKE TENG Mike Teng, son of Hakka Chinese parents, was born and raised in India. He started cooking at 14, and eventually became a head chef preparing Indo-Chinese food in Mumbai. Then in 1984, he emigrated to the US and worked in the restaurant industry, until he became executive chef at the famous Jade Eatery & Lounge in Forrest Hills Queens. And it was here that he became notorious for his unique cuisine, and went on to receive numerous accolades. A DIFFERENT APPROACH After seven years of grueling work at Jade, Mike decided to take a break from the restaurant industry for a while. Then in 2019 he opened Teng's Restaurant, and set up operations in a way that would minimize work. As such, the restaurant would only open for dinner, between 4-11 PM, and there would be minimal table service. So let me explain how this works: You sit down at a table, and a friendly family member takes you order and helps with recommendations if necessary. And then you grab paper plates & cups, and plastic utensils from a shelf by the front counter. There's also a refrigerator here with drinks to choose from. And then the food is served to you at the table in take-out style containers. THE KEY TO ORDERING HERE There are a relatively large number of items on the menu, but most of the dishes can be broken down into a few different styles, such as Hakka Chili, Manchurian, Salt And Pepper, Orange, Szechuan, Basil, Kung Pao, and Ginger & Scallion. And the key to ordering here is to avoid choosing multiple dishes in the same style, as the meal & flavors can become one-note in nature. But if your vigilant, and pick some of the best items from each style, you will be rewarded with an Indo-Chinese flavor bomb in your mouth. FIRST TIME? GIVE THESE A SHOT So a few recommendations to try on a first visit, if you're able to enjoy spicy foods would be: - Hakka Chili Style Chicken or Beef - Salt and Pepper Style Fish Filets or Chicken - Orange Chicken or Kung Pao Chicken - Manchurian Style Fish or Chicken - General Tso's Chicken or Tofu - Ginger and Scallion Chicken - Szechuan Wontons or Momos - Orange Glazed Wings or Hakka Chili Wings - Basil Fried Rice - Hakka Noodles And here's a few vegetable recommendations: - Manchurian style Cauliflower or Salt and Pepper Cauliflower - Szechuan Potato or Potato with Black Bean Sauce - Spicy Stir Fried String Beans. - Mapo Tofu - Manchow Soup with or without meat YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA LOVE THIS PLACE After many visits here with dozens of different people, I've noticed first-timers always react the same way when trying one of chef Teng's best dishes. Their eyes open wide, and the head starts slowly shaking side-to-side, and then I hear grunts of mmm! or wow! I mean really, it never fails to be a wonderful surprise for everyone. But don't get me wrong, not everything on the menu is a home run. For example, some of the Asian fusion dishes such as Pad Thai or Mango Chicken are just weird. So even though there are some things to overlook here, such as no lunch service, or the cafeteria style vibe, If you choose some of the chef's best dishes, for sure that flavor bomb is going to hit you right in the mouth, and you'll definitely be coming back here for more. I always do.

We ordered shrimp with then and they came with fried/tempura shrimp, which we found odd. There was also egg on the dish but it did nothing for the noodles. We ordered the noodles regular so they should have had some sauce but there was none. The chicken dishes were both really good. The chicken wasn't overly fried or breaded. It tasted fresh and had a good bite to it. I like the spicy garlic chicken a bit more because of the spice. The haka chicken was more of a sweet and salty flavor. Both were tasty. If I'm in the area I'll come back here.
