i?m not the type of person to write bad reviews for restaurants, especially locally owned restaurants that are obviously... struggling due to short staffing problems during covid times. however i felt morally obligated to tell people to stay away fromthis place. i am sick to my stomach as i write this review and have been for hours after eating at this restaurant. after afriend and i waited over an hour for our food, i was initially served pad thai with meat in it (i?m vegetarian). my friend wasnot brought one of the dishes she ordered at all and we had to ask for it again. once i tried my curry, it seemed much spicierthan what i ordered, but i was so hungry after waiting so long i ate it anyway. the restaurant had customers standing all overthe place, waiting for their orders, with only one server attending to the entire dining area. at one point another customer hadbeen waiting so long he asked the server to just, ?give him anything they had ready? because otherwise he would be late for hisclass at UVA and he was starving. not long after eating at this restaurant i became very sick and have been for hours with noend in sight. i'm sure i got food poisoning from here. please do not go to this restaurant, there are many better, safer optionsclose by.

I used to come here very often. It is my 3rd time that I was waiting for more than an hour for my one meal order. Very... unprofessional! I am sad but I will not come back in here ever again. Read more

My family of 4 really enjoyed our lunch at the Lemongrass today. Like everywhere else, this place was also short staffed. But... our server was so kind even when she was clearly swamped with orders. (She was the only one on the floor) We have eaten lots ofthai food and sushi from many different restaurants all over the country and this place was was solid. Sushi was fresh with goodrice to other ingredient ratio. Thai entrees were well seasoned and flavorful. We ordered mild for all the entrees since we haveyoung children and had no problem with spice level. Read more

nice place if you would like some Japanese food but your friends want to eat Thai food. Recommend Godzilla Roll, pineapple fried... rice, and salmon donburi. I tried their pad Thai once and it was a little bit dry, maybe it?s just a onetime thing. Read more

Lunch deal is great - best value for money Thai curry in Cville. Really tasty too, excellent tofu, and definitely on the spicier... side! ???? Read more

The sesame tofu was one of the best I've ever had. The rice was a bit off today, a bit cold and clumpy. I'm sure this place has... on and off days, perhaps we came on a slightly off day. I'd recommend a bit more training for the waiters as well (didn't reallybring us plates or silverware until we asked... Was a bit odd). Read more

Very good curry and pad thai. The service was a little slow, but we did come in during the busy lunch hour (around 1:00 pm). The... prices for lunch are hard to beat. Tasty food, good portions, and relatively cheap compared to other restaurants in the area.Will be coming back! Read more
