Lemongrass Thai Cuisine

"I gave this place a couple tries and it’s just not good. Every bite of every dish was a big miss. The curries lack depth and flavor. Everyone knows that O.O moment when your first bite of a rich, spicy Thai curry hits. Unfortunately we met lackluster, watery curry comparable to a powder mix from the grocery. Similarly, you vow to never do THAT again. The other orders were no saving grace. The kra pow was the oddest rendition and shrimp cakes tasted rubbery and bland with an uninspiring sauce to drown the disappointment. Lastly, the fried rice was the final nail in the coffin. My home wok + scorching heat never fails to deliver, so I expect far better wok hei from an industrial kitchen’s flame. Was it prepared on a nonstick? I’m sure this restaurant would do fine elsewhere, but this is SF and the bar is sky high. I just can’t help but wish for a big turnaround. Please fill the air on my daily walk by with irresistible sweet nothings. Tempt me for I am weak for authentic curry."

"Very good food and big portions to share or to-go. Very nice staff, and good atmosphere. The only downside for the asparagus plate with shrimp and scallops was that it only had 2 scallops. But it was very tasty. Really liked the veggie egg rolls."

"Very solid neighborhood spot. Very nice staff. Good prices. Atmosphere is not 5 star but still nice. You can get a good meal starting at $14 - which is a steal in SF these days. This place has cranked out consistently good food for 20+ years."

"Super clean located at a fun place. Price are super reasonable. The larb are just a little bit too sweet. When it's not busy you get to choose your table. Food are served within 10-20 minutes which it's a reasonable time."
