We were craving Asian spice & were not disappointed. So happy we visited Lemongrass, the flavours were spot on. We attended at a quiet time, food was fresh & nicely spiced. Good sized portions for the mains, did not have a starter so can not comment. If I'm back in the area, will definitely visit again.

Had Duck Paradise, dish looked very colourful and tasted amazing. Generous portion.

Went for dinner and had an excellent meal. Service was incredibly quick although we did go at a quieter time. Tom Kha was alright to start but the Penang and Coconut rice stole the show.

Ordered Β£33 of food for takeaway. Sticky rice was completely overcooked and inedible. When we called up to complain we were told it was supposed to be like that and met with an argument. Portion size was also tiny considering the price; didn't even fill the container.Egg noodles and the spring rolls were lovely but the currys were very underwhelming. I've ordered green Thai and panang before and these were completely over flavoured and tasted very cheap. Not good.Shame because we've ordered before and service and food was excellent. We won't be ordering again. Shoddy customer service.

Excellent food. Very friendly service. I have been coming back many times. I was never disappointed .

Disgraceful tapas lunch menu on Tuesday 9/11/21 - They were only serving the tapas menu & two of us for lunch ordered T9a Β£14 including a medium glass of wine but the main food component is served in a very small container (top right) with very little meat & mostly peppers. I ordered T15a Massaman curry including rice (Β£10) which used to be a mini version of the proper Massaman curry on the main menu (my fave dish to order & the same price!) but this was also served in the same small size container with rice & small salad but was unrecognisable as a Massaman curry! No flavour, tasteless scrappy very small thin chewy (shreddie size) pieces of meat. This is not what is served as a Massaman curry on the main menu. This is an insult to your customers & there are plenty of other places to eat.

A big shout out to Lemongrass. I took a friend there for her birthday and the food was lovely. We both chose from the Tapas type menu, and I was presented with a bowl of lovely red fresh vegetable Thai curry, crunchy corn fritters, spring rolls and rice and my friend had the green curry and sides, and all for about Β£28 for both of us. The staff were attentive and friendly and we also had 2 pots of free tea with the meals. Will definitely be visiting again.

Found the place on google, decided to go in. We were asked if we'd booked (we hadn't, it was spur of the moment), but were still kindly seated. Their coronovirus measures are very good - interesting paper menu (limited) where you pick your dish and the quantity. Was also asked to fill a short form for track and trace, which was appreciated.Drinks arrived very quickly, as did the food given we were told there may be delays on the menu. Presentation blew me away - I'm used to takeaways and buffets, so the presentation here blew me out of the park. I had Pad Thai, my friend had Egg Fried Rice, and we shared a Chicken Satay (on sticks). The taste was fresh and absolutely delicious. Even my friend, who had ordinary rice, said it was delicious and more than just fried rice. Very well cooked. We were allowed plenty of time to eat and rest.I had dessert - a nice Thai coconut caramel pancake dish. Wasn't sickly sweet, and again, was delicious.Overall, I'd happily, VERY happily visit this place again. Outstanding food and very helpful/friendly hosts.

Nice food feels authentic to me, but a bit pricey for the atmosphere.
