Reviews for Lemongrass in Portland, OR
The food here is *unbelievable.* My wife and I went here for our anniversary and it was the best Thai food we've ever had. The... owner/cook/waitress (yes, it's all one person) immediately treats you like family and is so considerate, flexible, andaccommodating that my only regret is not bringing more people to share her amazing Thai food with (yet!)

I got the green curry with veggies & tofu and it was delicious! I?m actually currently eating it and couldn?t wait to write a... review. I stopped over at lunch on a weekday and the owner was so cheery and helpful. She told me they are very busy on theweekends so be sure to call ahead! Read more
Whatever other Thai restaurants you?re thinking of going to in Portland, STOP and go to Lemongrass instead. Amazing food in a... cozy, homey environment, and the chef/owner is a lovely human who clearly puts so much love and care into her cooking. ?? Istumbled on Lemongrass after a disastrous (and failed) attempt to eat somewhere else, and I ended up walking nearly half a milein pouring rain to get to Lemongrass. I walked in 30 minutes before closing, desperately hungry and wet, and didn?t realize shemostly does takeout and you?re supposed to call ahead to see if she has capacity for dine-in. She kindly welcomed me in anywayand made me a delicious plate of chicken pad Thai. And she even took the time to talk with me for a few minutes before I left. Ifelt so welcomed and taken care of, and I will absolutely come back the next time I?m in Portland. 10/10 recommend! Read more
Delicious, fresh, made to order food - at the moment she is mostly set up for take out. Owner says to call first for dining in!... (May 2022). Owner was delightful and we enjoyed our food. Read more
Excellent Thai food. If you want to dine in, call in advance to see if service is available, as this restaurant mainly does... takeout. I had spicy noodles with shrimp, "level 1" spice which was just hot enough. Highly recommended! Read more
This was my first time here. And although there was only the Cook working, she was very accommodating to make sure we got a... delicious meal in a hurry. The drunken noodles were amazing and the pad Thai chicken was also delicious. I'm a fan of pad keemao and all the veggies. The spice is real here too. So good! Read more
Back in the 90s, Lemongrass was head and shoulders above the rest. Today they are still at the front of the pack, with the most... flavorful Thai food I've ever had. Other places have upped their game, but nobody's caught them. The veggies with garlic andbasil remains the gold standard for me. Read more
The sweetest woman runs this place herself (!!), and the food is top notch. I?ve been coming here for over a decade, and it has... always been consistently amazing. Not overly salted, which I like. Prawns are huge, veggies fresh, and the flavors are perfectlybalanced. The prices have drastically increased, but look at the state of the world, right? I?d much rather pay more (maybe needto go less often) than have this gem of a Thai restaurant disappear. Oh, and the portion sizes are great! I can often get alunch sized portion of leftovers out of my meal, which is another reason it?s hard to complain about the prices. Read more
