I went here because the reviews were amazing. Unfortunately, the food was terribly bland. We ordered the chicken satay, the sauces were really good but the chicken was alright. This was the good part of the dishes we ordered. My son had the Pad Thai, it came out runny and yellow. The only vegetables we saw were the sprouts and they were so white that they blended in with the yellow sauce and noodles. I ordered the Drunken Noodle, which is my go to dish. I have had variations of this over the years, but this was the worst I have ever tasted. It was bland with no flavor of basil or anything. When I explained that the dish was less than adequate. They took it into the back of the kitchen and came out with what looked like my same dish with a ton of chili spice added to it. I tried it again unfortunately all it was, was just really spicy and still very bland and lackluster. The staff was very courteous and friendly. However, unfortunately, when you go to a restaurant, you go there to eat the food that’s been prepared and served to you. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for more than 15 years throughout my life and some of those being Thai restaurants. I’m not sure what region of Thailand this cuisine was supposed to be from but apparently if you mess up drunken noodle and even more so Pad Thai it makes me wonder if this is actual real Thai food or not. DO NOT...
Read moreAs one of my few full 5 star restaurants, Lemon Thai Cuisine is a great restaurant for all with many different dishes. The menu was fancy with all sorts of different options. The spice was clearly indicated with a scale of zero to three. The waiter seated us quickly at a table and poured water, ready to put in orders constantly.
The taste was pungent for all the food, with the right level of spice and uniqueness. Most of the food we got was seasoned with peanut sauce. The portions were medium sized for Thai restaurants, with a creative and unique salad.
The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was similar to that of a fancy restaurant with music, as shown in the pictures. The walls were covered with certificates and the tables had red decorations. The noise level allowed us to talk freely. The waiter was clearly knowledgeable in the menu and was very professional, ready whenever we were.
We got three dishes for four people or $17.5 per person. We were very satisfied with our food and had no problems at all, except for the mildly inconvenient parking (a few spots a way). They had an Uber Eats table by the door and allowed for pickup. The restaurant was also conveniently located in Manchester, by the highway. Overall, it was a great restaurant to stop at on a trip and I would definitely recommend the...
Read moreLemon Thai is truly a revelation. It was my sincerest pleasure to spoon rice into the chicken fresh sliced mushroom soup that had such depth and complexity of flavor served hot, intoxicating aroma and taste filled not just my belly but my soul. Tears flowed with joy until the whole of it was in my heart mind soul and belly. My mind blown, heart over joyed, and belly wanting so much more, the entree of curry chicken with fresh broccoli covered in smooth peanut sauce Nirvana, I am found in this creation, reserving half the rice to continue the tradition, at meals end I felt complete, so full of goodness prepared and served by the most amazing, soft spoken, spiritual people it has been my priviledge to meet. I thank God for every meal, but my encounter with Lemon Thai was truly inspirational. I am renewed, and now the tears of joy shall dry to memory alone, as I was only in Manchester for two days and must return home to dream of finding such a gem, hidden away in a humble strip mall between an outfit that makes pet food and another that serves pizza and beer. Transformed for twenty...
