The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.

So, I took a day off and headed to our capital city, Victoria, on a hot and sunny afternoon. After getting off the bus at Douglas & Fort and walking a couple of blocks, I arrived at the restaurant. In all honesty, the location isn't in the nicest part of town. The place itself is small, both inside and out. Inside, they were in the middle of a paint job. Outside, the dining area consisted of three picnic tables, each seating about four or so. I hadn't checked their website beforehand, but I told the cashier it was my first visit from Vancouver. She suggested three of their "most popular" dishes, all priced at $18. I chose the Sweet & Sour Pork Belly with Rice. Most entrées seemed to start at $15 and up. I opted to dine outside, given the beautiful weather. The cashier directed me to a self-serve counter for water, condiments, and cutlery, and suggested I sit at the far left by the wooden railing since other tables were occupied. When my food was ready, she called my name. The presentation was nice, but for $18 the portion seemed small -- six small pieces of pork belly, with two pieces being almost entirely fat. The green beans (about 14 pieces, four inches long) were fresh and bright green, not overcooked, and the sauce was fine. Unfortunately, the biggest letdown was the temperature -- lukewarm at best. Even the rice wasn't hot. The menu promised crispy skin, but mine was soft. While the pork was tender, it lacked the crispness you'd find at a good Chinese BBQ meat shop. Adding to the disappointment, the outdoor seating was right beside a parking lot of a liquor store where people smoked and chatted. The smell of cigarette smoke made it hard to enjoy my meal, so I ate quickly and left. It's a semi-self-serve setup, with a tray for returning dirty dishes like in fast-food places. Another note: I paid cash but wasn't given a receipt -- my oversight, since cash payments save them merchant fees. This place might have its fame, but for me, it was overpriced and the atmosphere was not conducive to a relaxing meal. Hot dishes should be served hot, regardless of the weather. Taste-wise, I'd give my dish 3/5. Value: 2/5. Sadly, it's a "one-and-done" visit for me.

I've never been to Thailand or had authentic Thai but this stuff is pretty good. It's probably a bit different and more North Americanized but it's a great alternative to Chinese. The Spicy Thai salad they have is a great mix of flavors and spices. I can't comment much for the dining experience as we've only ordered out from here but the food is top notch. read more

"A Comedy of Errors" Thai Lemongrass, for the…read morepast several years, used to be one of our favourite restaurants where we had often enjoyed lovely meals, but when we went there recently, it was immediately obvious that it had changed hands. The waiter was totally unknowledgeable about the menu, and his service was slow and hesitant. We were served cold tea and when we asked for hot tea we're told that they had forgotten to plug in the water heater. After a second serving of cold tea, third time lucky, and the waiter brought us tea that was hot! We proceeded to order our meal, and when we asked for mild curry, we were told it would cost extra because the cook would have to add more coconut milk. When we expressed our amazement, the waiter said he would check. He came back with the manager/owner, who said no, a mild curry would not cost extra! Every course of the food, when it eventually arrived, was cold or luke-warm and the meat (lamb) that I chose for my curry dish was gristly, fatty and tough. When our main courses arrived, one was missing. The waiter, who had started to walk away, seemed surprised when we asked where our son's meal was. He couldn't remember what we ordered, so we told him and he said he'd check with the kitchen. My husband and I proceeded to share our almost cold meals with our son and waited for the his meal to arrive. It was very cold in the restaurant, so we kept our coats on during our meal. When we asked if the heat could be turned up in the restaurant, waiter brought a small space heater which could not be plugged in near us because the waiter couldn't find an outlet to plug it into! Consequently, he plugged it in on the other side of the room. My husband finished eating and excused himself to go out into our car to start it and turn on the heater so he could warm up. Our son's meal arrived at last and we asked for it to be packed up to take home. When it was time to pay for our meal, I mentioned to the waiter that I didn't think we should pay for the lamb curry that I had ordered because we couldn't eat the meat, and only ate some of the undercooked hard potato. I pointed out the majority of my mail that was left in my bowl. The waiter said he would have to ask about this and went and got the manager owner again who said to me that I couldn't expect to eat for nothing, but he would deduct 10% off my meal. He was adamant about this until my 6' 2" son stood up from the table when he immediately agreed with me that I should not have to pay for this inedible meal. Despite all this, the meal still cost us $80+. Another family had arrived and sat at adjacent table to us. They kept their coats on too, and decided to order their meal to take away so that they could eat it at home rather than sit in a cold restaurant. Much needs to be done by the new owner of this restaurant to train his staff and to improve his own attitude towards his customers. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Thai Lemongrass!

Pad Thai Prawn ($22) You get five jumbo shrimp on top of the pad Thai noodles. The flavour is a little different (and a touch more liquid-y?) than most other places - but it's tasty nonetheless! Curry Fried Rice ($21) Imagine a good-tasting fried rice with your choice of protein (we chose chicken) and curry powder to flavour: it's simple yet really tasty! Sweet Stickey Rice with Mango ($12) It's spendy for what you get - but it does included at least half a fresh-cut mango with sticky rice and coconut milk - an indulgent treat! === 3. SERVICE It was simple and good - nothing spectacular but also nothing to worry about either from the two ladies that served us throughout the meal. === 4.

A large TV on one wall shows a video of a Western traveller visiting Thailand to sample foods. There is a lunch buffet ($21 for adults or $14 for kids) - offering 8-10 dishes in the centre of the restaurant. Groups large and small would fit easily, as would wheelchairs and baby strollers. Parking is reasonably plentiful on the street out front.
