When I got the food I didn’t think it was going to taste good. The meal didn’t look that appealing, but it turned out good. I asked for it spicy and they didn’t disappoint. The chicken pieces could’ve been cut into smaller sizes and maybe a little bit more rice, especially at the price they sell it for. It is a bit pricey for what it is.

My favourite restaurant in Saint John, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience. Most recently I had their Burmese pork special and it was deliciously spicy and crunchy. My wife had her usual, coconut rice, brussel sprouts, and chicken satays and she was happy as a clam! Make sure you ask for a side of Phil’s eyes

Food and drinks were great. Board walk has been officially been reopen so the ambience was quite nice. My complaint is the fact that we had to wait over 10 minutes to get our bill. We had to literally chase our waiter for our bill. It was not the best of experience waiting.

The menu offered a tantalizing array of options, each dish bursting with flavour and expertly plated. What truly set this restaurant apart was the generous portions served. Each plate was not only beautifully presented but also filled to the brim with deliciousness.

Portions were huge, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was elegant! Our server was also very kind, which made the experience even better. I ordered the Bangkok curry, it was really good, but the only downside was the eggplant. The pieces were so tiny I could barely taste them! I was actually trying to find them at first. My sister ordered the ginger beef, but found it too sweet for her liking. She ended up enjoying my dish more! My brother got the Chiang Mai noodles, it was okay for him, though he said the flavor was a bit bland. Still, it’s a great place to satisfy Thai food cravings. We’ll likely be back to try more dishes!

The portion size of the chicken pad Thai was ENORMOUS. Frankly I felt like it could easily be a sharing size portion. There was a large piling of sprouts and cilantro which isn't a problem but the dish felt a bit salty for my taste and i would have preferred more peanut sauce. Very filling and generous portion though if portion size is more important than taste. I tried a delightful watermelon sour beer, Sour Otis from a local brewery. Perfect little summer beer. Enjoyed their enclosed patio with strings of patio lights and windows that could stay open. Nice view of the outdoor space where a live band played and folks danced in the space :)

Had an excellent meal at Lemongrass Thai in Saint John. I ordered the Pad Thai and the Thai Brussels sprouts. Both were fantastic. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat and sweetness, and the Brussels sprouts were crispy, flavourful, and unlike anything I have had before. Great service and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.
