Lemongrass Thai bar and restaurant Ltd — Restaurant in Liverpool

Great Thai Food!

It was my first time visiting Lemongrass Thai Restaurant as it was recommended by a friend. Thai food in the Liverpool city centre isn’t great so I went out of my way to try out Lemongrass.

Lemongrass has a lovely interior design and feels very welcoming, it looks quite fancy but any attire is welcome as far as I’m aware. There is plenty of seating available with a variety of table spaces ranging from two persons to eight or more.

The staff are friendly and accommodating although the service was a bit slow for my friend’s Mango Sticky Rice but I assume it was made very fresh which is good. There is also a service charge added on to the final total of the bill.

I ordered the ‘Thai Green Curry with Chicken’ which costs £12.95 as an individual dish, rice is sold separately. Therefore, I ordered a portion of ‘coconut rice’ which costs £3.50 for a small bowl, not enough for one person in my opinion because there is more curry than there is rice. The green curry tasted great and it was spicy but not overwhelmingly spicy. I thoroughly enjoyed the green curry!

I also ordered the Chicken Pad Thai which costs £11.95, it arrives with crushed nuts as a choice of topping if desired. The Pad Thai tasted great too, it arrived enveloped in a thin layer of fried egg.

For dessert I ordered the Chocolate Marquise which costs £6. The chocolate marquise arrived very quickly and didn’t taste very fresh which suggests it was probably frozen and perhaps not handmade by the restaurant? Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the dessert and would not recommend it.

Overall, the main dishes are really tasty and flavourful but I didn’t enjoy the Chocolate Marquise, maybe I’ll try a different dessert if I visit again in the future. I would recommend eating here if you want nice Thai food and a nice atmosphere but the desserts are...

An utter disgrace. £15 for 3 plain small prawns and few bits of undercooked brocoli. £15.95 for 3 ribs.

The special fried rice states that it's cooked with Mixed Veg, Mixed Seafood and topped with Roast Duck and Crispy pork for £15.95. Be warned. It isn't. If you want any of that you have to pay extra to add it on. If you were to add on that to make it up it would cost £26.95. For fried rice.

£18.95 for a pathetic combo starter which had some random bone in the box too.

A £60 takeaway that barely fed two adults.

Extortionate prices. Avoid.

So in response to the owners. This was fried rice not white rice. The ribs were wrapped in banana leaf which i removed for the photo to show the quantity. Do you also belive the prawns and combo starter arent from your restaurant too or just those two dishes? Trying to blame Uber for delivering from wrong restaurant is embarrassing. I called the restaurant directly at the time and discussed the issue. They were apologetic to be fair and sent more ribs after a heated discussion and said i could claim a full refund from uber. However, uber will not grant a refund based on this.

Further response to the owner:

I can absolutely guarantee this is your food. I have the receipt to prove it and I called yourselves at the time and you sent some replacement food. Are you suggesting the Uber driver got that from a different restaurant too? Utterly embarrassing that you continue to deny this is even your food and blame the...

We went for dinner on Christmas Eve, having had takeaway and been before, I was so disappointed with the experience on this occasion. My partner is vegetarian so we ordered the vegetarian sharing platter to start, when it came to him ordering his main course, it became apparent that virtually none of the main courses are vegetarian as they contain shrimp paste, with only a couple of options now available, he ordered a tofu stir fry. The sharing platter arrived, my partner took a bite of one item only to find out that it was a prawn and the platter was not the veg option but the classic meat one. So we sent it back and waited for the correct one. After a long wait it arrived and I can only describe it as some almost raw and flavourless vegetables covered in a greasy tasteless batter, it was so unpleasant that we didn’t eat much of it. Main courses arrived, I’d ordered a chicken pad Thai with extra prawns. When it arrived I soon noticed there wasn’t a single prawn and it was beef, not chicken, it also smelled and tasted very greasy and totally put me off eating anything else. The tofu stir fry was ok, but bland. Had it not been for the bowl of prawn crackers I had, I wouldn’t have eaten anything. They did remove most of the food from the bill so I can’t complain about that. I just feel they really need to step up their vegetarian options. I was baffled how they got our orders so wrong. So...
