It is a family owned restaurant, which delivers delicious Thai food, at the same time providing a comfortable and warm dining experience. Your dining experience is significant to them, which is why they have assimilated a widespread wine, local and imported beer list that will ensure to accompaniment your meal. To be on the safe side, one should know that it is not a good idea to have those with your meal. You will ruin your taste! It is the real turn off here when they think wine and beer should accompany with a beautiful meal.
Let us talk about the food. The food receives praises from the customers such as the Tom Yam Soup is a nice choice. The fish cake is big in size but the taste is doughy. It can be that they put in too much flour to expand it. In many Thai restaurants, you find the folks saying that the quantity is huge. Here you cannot say the same about the choo chee chicken. It is supposed to be full of chicken rather than the beans and eggplant but Lemongrass Thai sometimes does the opposite. The squid can look nice but do not believe everything you see. We all know that all that glitters are not gold as so is the squid. It is not appetizing nor delicious. The jasmine rice is alright and you can have that as most Thai restaurants fail to hammer this dish. That is why people choose noodles with their eyes closed because they do not want their money go down the drain.They have an open area above the main dining space that is for functions, whether it be big or small, with seating for a hundred people. The highlight of the function area is the fenced balcony and bar that is an idyllic setting for gettogethers, particularly on a summer night.
The pricing is the disappointing part. For the quality of food and most importantly, the small quantities, the price tag is huge. Three spring rolls cost $9 and that too without any meat or fish. A main dish for lunch such as the Roast Duck Red Curry is $25 which is not going to be enough for two. That means if you are with someone such as your spouse, get another main which can be around $20 such as the Chargrilled Chicken with Honey and Mandarin and there you go a meal for more than $50! The salt and pepper squid does not appear to be attractive but the taste can be alright. The chicken satay is also small in size and comes dressed in a sauce which is also limited. The chicken Pad Thai can be a disappointment sometimes and sometimes it is tasty. It depends on your luck. If you are having a bad day, stop by here for Chicken Pad Thai if it tastes nice, it should cheer you up. When the taste is not perfect, think what else can go wrong.
Despite this kind of food and pricing, the place stays full on weekends. You have to make a reservation to be on the safe side. Some folks find the price to be reasonable and if you are one of them, come by here for a meal. There is nothing to say about the staffs. They are not always in their best behavior. The Yum Thai Beef and Singapore Noodles make a delightful meal. If you are a veggie lover, there are lots of dishes in the menu that you can order. Try the steamed vegetables with oyster sauce. The Dumplings are also recommended along with the sweet potato fries and chicken laksa.
