Lemongrass — Restaurant in Edmond

The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, I stated with some fried dumplings which were really tasty ! As for my entree, not so much. My friend and I both ordered the beef salad which we love and get at almost any Thai place we go here in the city , typical go too! My friend took a bite and gave me a look where I thought maybe the spice was a little too much. I love food and was ready but as soon as I took a bite I could not keep in my mouth nor allow myself to swallow…. I’m not trying to be a “KAREN” nor do I like to disrespect one’s business but when I tell you the juice to the salad taste like garbage disposal water and the meat like some kind of sick dead animal I MEAN just that !!! I politely as the man to remove the meal from our tabs as we can not consume this dish ! He told me per management there is no return and he can not take off my tab. I then told him I mean no disrespect but exactly what I stated above in how this dish taste! He told me everyone likes it and I could get a discount ! I politely paid but I will never return! So disappointed and handle very unprofessionally, you can not serve someone and then per your mistake expect them to pay for something they physically can not consume !! I have never been so disturbed by food in my life , yes disturbing taste ! I will be more than happy To pay for someone to go with me and try this and tell me I’m wrong. And for the facility themselves, I really hope you work on this recipe or completely. Remove it...

Well here goes. This is a neighborhood eatery. I've been trying it on and off for years. It is a hit or miss. I realize small staff, and trying to accommodate several pick up orders & in room dining. They were fast, and convenient, but the last few times I've been there, too fast...food was not cooked well done. Potatoes were hard in the curry. Shrimp did not taste of good quality. Food seemed rushed. Portions were good. Well packaged. Prices are decent. When you get this home and your practically eating raw chunk potatoes and hard white onions that did not sautée or carmalize, it is NOT what you paid for... this is like the third time it has happened recently. I really try not to bring an eatery down, but maybe this will help the owners. I am Thai, I know Thai food. I called back asking for a refund only on the soup with hard potatoes. I did not call the other 2 times this happened with other dishes not being fully cooked. The young man asked to bring the curry back and he would refund. Um, NO! THAT IS A HEALTH CONCERN and an EXTRA TRIP! I bit this one AGAIN. And maybe I'll try eating there after a few years to see if you've improved. I hope this gives you some insight on really upgrading your Thai recipes for the masses. Makes...

Our waiter was VERY soft-spoken but very attentive and nice.

I enjoyed my food there, but it was so different from most Thai food I've eaten (also I'm Thai if that validates anything somehow). The names of dishes I love are on the menu but are very different in flavor and preparation than I've had before, not to say anything was particularly bad.

Well, the summer rolls were boring. Just shrimp and lettuce. No herbs or sprouts? Kind of weird to me, though the peanut sauce was pretty good.

The massaman curry tasted more like sweet yellow curry, in my opinion, so it was good but not what I wanted. The spice levels (I ordered "as hot as you'll make it") were almost non-existent, but I have a very high tolerance for spice.

The sticky rice with mango was very good, though!

Update: Went back here for lunch. I got panang curry which verged on salty and was a touch cold, but it really looks like only two people work in the restaurant and it was very busy. The employees are super nice. Service was a little slow due to the number of workers, but you can tell they put a lot of heart...
