Work in DTSP and wanted to try some local spots. Brought my golden with me, and my daughter. Had outside seating which made it convenient for my broken leg and knee scooter. Great weekly lunch specials. I got the orange chicken lunch box. And OMG it was so much food for ~$15. Couldn't even eat it all. Delicious and good pricing. And the people watching is top tier. read more

There's many things that go into a 5 star review: the food, the service, the aesthetic, the vibes. I'm not from the area so imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon the BEST Thai food I've had. Our server, absolutely amazing and attentive. The whole staff at the restaurant were so pleasant and so nice. The cozy restaurant looks like any other Asian restaurant but with the perks of being in downtown st Pete. I ordered a Pad See Ew, Chicken Satay (a staple) and Thai Tea. A relatively safe meal for a Thai place. I made a mistake of ordering an appetizer bc the portions here are family sized for real for a cheap price. Spending about 18 dollars on an entree with enough food for a few days was great. I will seriously miss this place and I might have to make a stop in St Pete just for it. read more

Came back after a couple years and this place is still just as good. Service was fast and attentive. Started off with steamed gyoza and chicken satay which was a great starter. Shared the big popper and LP rolls, the LP roll was my favorite, just such a great combination of flavors. Would definitely recommend! read more

It's the little, thoughtful things that make me love Lemon Grass. Take the classic Thai fresh rolls. We all know them- the soft rice paper wrapped around veggies, herbs, vermicelli, and your protein of choice. And we also know what usually happens: you dip it, take one bite, and the whole thing falls apart like it just gave up on life. Not here. Lemon Grass slices their fresh rolls sushi-style, so you get these perfect little bite-sized pieces that hold their shape. Easy to grab, easy to dip, and best of all, the sauce-to-surface ratio is elite. Every piece is JUICY good. No mess. No frustration. Just pure enjoyment. The rest of the menu is just as impressive. * Traditional Thai dishes? Top notch. * Sushi? Super fresh. * Signature rolls? A fun fusion of Japanese classics with a Thai twist (not every twist will be for everyone, but the creativity is undeniable). The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, service is solid, and the overall value is fantastic. I've already been here twice in one week... and I'll definitely be back plenty more. Highly recommend. read more

The restaurant was clean and our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered spring rolls for appetizer that were over cooked and had very little filling. The girls ordered miso soup they enjoyed. Our main dish was 5 different sushi rolls all of which were decent. I had spicy salmon roll with avocado, daughter had salmon & cream cheese, spicy scallop roll, spicy tuna. 3rd person had a California roll. We were all happy, but probably wouldn't return. We didn't like the seaweed on the outside of the roll and the salmon wasn't top notch or spicy. The vibe didn't do it for us, it's outdated. I prefer Good Fortune.

We were starving and had heard great things about Lemon Grass, so we decided to give it a try. At first, I was surprised by how expensive some of the entrées were, but once our food arrived, it made sense--the portions were huge! I'm glad we came starving because we were ready to eat. I ordered the Orange Chicken and was happy with how much chicken I got. Some places skimp on protein, but not here! However, the sauce was a bit too strong for my taste. It was fresh but had an overpowering orange flavor that made it hard to finish. My fiancée ordered the Pad Thai, which also came in a massive portion--enough for leftovers the next day. It was decent, good but nothing special compared to other Pad Thai dishes I've had. read more

RATS in restaurant!!! We were eating at the restaurant when a rat ran through the dining room during the dinner hour. The restaurant was full and the rat was 1.5-2 foot in length from nose to tail. The waitress at first pretended she didn't understand but later admitted they were having issues with rats entering due to construction next door. We left immediately and filed a complaint with the health department. Do not eat here!! read more

Absolutely delicious Thai food in the heart of downtown St. Pete. They have a lot of traditional options on the menu but I went with chicken pad Thai medium spicy level and it was perfect. The portions are also pretty large so you could probably share a meal or have enough for two servings (depending on how hungry you are :p). I will definitely be returning soon and trying some more items from their menu! read more

The vibe of this place doesn't do it for me as its dark and bland in my opinion. The Specialty Sushi Rolls are 10 pieces so keep that in mind when ordering. I though the rolls were ok. The service was great and it seems like an ok place. The locals seem to love it. read more

I've been here multiple times and for good reason. The food is excellent, the service is quick and professional and still keeps a nice ambiance. My wife thinks it might be the best sushi in St Pete. But I always end up grabbing thai meals which are delicious. Can recommend the curries or even the Khao Soi whoch I recently had. Expect big portions on the thai meals so come hungry! read more

Went for a lunch meeting and ordered the lunch special. The appetizers and miso soup came out quickly. The soup had good flavor and the temperature was perfect. The appetizers were just okay, nothing special. The spicy tuna was just okay. The spice was more in the sauce spread over it than mixed in with the tuna. The sauce on the spicy crab was very good making that roll my favorite of this meal. The service was prompt and polite. Nice ambiance with low level noise. read more

Solid Thai, sushi, and tapas spot with nice ambiance and great lunch specials. I had the sushi lunch option for $16.95 which is supposed to be one regular roll, 6 pieces of nigiri, miso soup or salad, egg roll and gyoza. I chose the bagel roll (variation of a Philly roll) and also had the tom yum soup with chicken. Both were very good. I cannot speak to the miso soup, egg roll, or gyoza as they were never brought to me. Service was somewhat of an issue and the reason this review is 3 stars instead of 4 - I wanted to upgrade my miso soup ($5) in the lunch special to a tom yum soup ($7) but they wouldn't let me and instead I had to buy an additional separate tom yum soup. They also did not bring me the egg roll or gyoza or miso soup that were supposed to come with the lunch special that I ordered and paid for. So I ended up getting charged more than I should have and not receiving all the items I paid for. I would have mentioned this to our waiter, but was at a networking lunch so I didn't feel like causing a scene. However, I left feeling I had been taken advantage of. While I may come back and hope for better service, I cannot in good conscience leave the 4 star review I otherwise would have for this visit. read more

Lemongrass is quickly becoming my favorite sushi restaurant in downtown St Pete. We sat outside on a Friday evening around 730 with no wait. The patio is a nice vibe with shade. We ordered edamame to start, and I also got the Weezer Roll (the tuna roll) and a holiday spring roll. The rolls are amazing because they are loaded with fresh fish, not just a ton of rice. Everything is fresh and delicious. Service is great, large menu, and will definitely be back. read more

Really great! Took an old friend to where he wanted to eat. It was the Lemongrass! It was terrific. We had a couple of Sapporos California rolls spring rolls and he had the salmon teriyaki and the miso soup. All was outstanding and the server was great and helpful in our selections. The ambiance is laid back quiet . I recommend the lemongrass! read more

Lemongrass came highly recommended by numerous coworkers of mine. I gave it a shot and do not regret! I ordered pad Thai with shrimp and y'all, the portion is HUGE. The pictures don't do it justice. I couldn't even finish half of it. The pad Thai itself was absolutely delicious. And they got it out to me SO QUICKLY. Much impressed. The restaurant is big, plenty of seating. It's got a nice ambiance to it and would be great for date nights. The server I had was super nice and attentive. I sincerely appreciate how awesome she was! (I didn't get her name ) Will absolutely be back! The menu was pretty extensive so I'd like to try their sushi next time read more

Really great sushi spot! Just a couple downfalls--one thing is that they don't take reservations. But the upside is that I went for dinner here at 7pm on a Friday night and I was seated right away which is a plus. However, the food took legit an hour to come out which wasn't ideal--not sure what the hold up was because the place was busy but not terribly packed. Thankfully the food was super tasty, we got a couple rolls and some sashimi and it was very fresh and flavorful. Our waitress was really friendly and the whole environment was casual but unique. Safe to say I'll stop by again in the future! read more

We got a lot for our money but nothing was super fabulous. It was just average sushi.

Huge portions, delicious food, huge selection! Never too much of a wait to sit even during happy hour. Always highly recommend!

Very nice staff and clean restaurant. Average sashimi and boring sushi. I'd like to try their other entrees. The patio looks very nice.

This is our favourite Thai restaurant. Excellent service and wonderful food. We are a Hindu vegetarian family and appreciate all the options and accommodations you make for us. This place is highly recommended. Anything on the menu is good. read more

The menu here is long and varied, and the food is well prepared and very enjoyable, with generous portions. Staff is pleasant, atmosphere is lively but not too loud, nothing fancy but quite pleasant. The background music playing sounded like AI generated fake jazz... Upsetting for a musician to listen to, but probably perfectly pleasant to the average restaurant goer, better than something obnoxious blasting and making it difficult to converse. Our party of five adults, with very divergent tastes, had a very successful and enjoyable meal here. Highly recommended! read more

Service was awesome! Very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the potstickers and it came out practically five minutes after we placed our orders. The shrimp pad Thai was too oily for my liking. Bathrooms were clean. Restaurant was not packed on a 2PM Saturday afternoon. Overall, four stars for me. read more

When you are in the place you are unfamiliar with, the first thing you do is ask Yelp! I wanted some Asian and found this cute place. We were greated with smile and seated right away. They had a big menu but I know what I wanted, Massaman curry! I suggested to my husband to try tonkatsu. Massaman curry was a bit salty but had a lots of meat and potatoes. Yum! My husband loved his plate too. Too bad, they didn't have to tonkatsu sauce. But the server offered to bring another dipping sauce. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and we were stuffed! read more

If you're craving sushi, look no further than. The Lemon Grass is without a doubt the best sushi spot in downtown St. Pete. We started off with some Thai Iced Tea (our favorite drink) and pork gyoza, followed by the volcano roll and golden dragon roll. The flavors are outstanding and leaves you wanting more no matter how full you are. Location is great, right on central avenue downtown. Make sure to check them out if you'rein the area! read more

Love how massive the menu of this place is! So many sushi rolls, curries, rice dishes, noodles... everyone will find something to eat here! The prices are expected for downtown St Pete. Would be much cheaper if it was in Pinellas Park or outskirts of downtown St Pete. The sushi here is fresh and I like how you can choose a roll or cone option. Also options to add onto the sushi for additional price. Brown rice is also available for an up charge. I ordered the bbq eel on top the California roll. The only complaint i have was it was messy presentation and too much eel sauce. The sauce overpowered everything. Also I ordered the green curry medium spicy. I could've done spicy next time. Wasn't spicy at all. The portions were good and filling. Lots of veggies and chicken inside. Overall, good food, good location. Would definitely be back soon ! read more

Takeout only review: The food is DELICIOUS and the menu has options for any type of eater. You can indulge or you can go lighter. Portions are great, you get plenty of food. They are quick and whatever time they give you that the food will be ready, they are spot on! They have a separate space for takeout which makes it a much more pleasant and quiet experience. Bags are very sturdy, food does not tip over or spill at all, we walked home with it and it was so easy and comfortable. We will continue to keep ordering from here!! PS- the banana Rama dessert is a MUST. read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant! We go here at least once every two weeks. The service is always incredible. Very friendly! Their sushi is always phenomenal and fresh.

I enjoy the laid back atmosphere as well. read more

After an afternoon at a local museum, decided to stop by The Lemon Grass as it came highly recommended from a few friends. Service: A+. From the moment we walked up, the service was extremely attentive. The lunch special menu was reviewed with us and recommendations given. The server continually checked back and had a very pleasant demeanor. Atmosphere: As it was a beautiful day we sat outside. I liked that the outdoor seating is slightly tucked away from the sidewalk as the restaurant is located on quite a busy street. The outside was clean and comfortable. Food: The blend of Thai and sushi is a great choice for us as sushi is my preferred cuisine. The lunch special comes with soup/salad, one gyoza, one spring roll and whatever sushi you order. I ended up with the La Bamba and the Spider roll, which were average. I wisely also got yellowtail and salmon sashimi which I was more impressed with. The portion of the sashimi was very good and the quality also very good. Next time, I would order raw sushi rolls or just sashimi. The gyoza filling was a bit dry while the salad dressing...AMAZING! We also got parang curry with tofu (the mildest). It has nice flavor and a hint of spice at the end which was perfect. The Thai tea was delicious as well. Overall, a solid restaurant. read more

Everything was great! We sat outside with our dog which we enjoyed. The ambiance was really nice out there. Service was friendly and pretty quick. The food was excellent though. Some of the best spring rolls we've had, and we particularly loved the chili sauce with them. We tried two curries that we were each really fond of. They both had great flavor and we liked getting something a little different than a traditional curry. We will definitely be back to try more! read more
