Lemongrass Too — Restaurant in Maryland

Review from 11/24/23

We came as a relatively large group with extended family, and were seated quickly later at night.

For appetizers, we ordered the Crab Rangoon, Wonton Soup, Lemongrass Soup, Chive Cake, and Green Papaya Salad. The Crab Rangoons were fantastic - creamy and flavorful, with a solid, crunchy exterior and a sweet sauce that cut through the richness of the filling. The soups were fine. On the other hand, the Chive Cake was good, with a gooey interior and crispy outside paired with a salty sauce.

For the entrees, were ordered a beef fried rice which was good; a shrimp fried rice that had large shrimp; the drunken noodles with shrimp, which were slightly overcooked and a little mushy; and the panang curry with chicken which was the table favorite alongside the beef fried, being sweet, but flavorful and creamy, and perfect alongside the plain white rice.

The mango sticky rice was pretty bad, in all honesty - the rice a little too mushy and not particularly warm, and what seemed like canned mango which was pretty flavorless with a...

We were hoping to make this our regular hang out place for Thai cuisine but unfortunately I am writing this review. Very disappointed by the food served to us. We went there based on the reviews but had a terrible experience. I typically do not write reviews unless something is terribly wrong with the food. This was our first and the last time and not recommending to anyone. After ordering 3 items, we decided not to order anything at this place and leave without mentioning it to the manager since we were with our little one's. Though the staff was courteous. Here are the details of the food served to us. Chicken lettuce wrap - they served us the smallest sized wilted romaine lettuce leaves with the chicken. Chicken was sour and watery. Vegetable Dumplings - Burnt, small and they forgot to season it with the salt. No salt at all. Drunken noodles - Entree, the quantity served for a $16.95 was less than a bowl of chipotle, 5 thinly sliced pieces of chicken with clumpy flat noodles. And yes there was this bad smell in...

I'm going to say overall, I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the red curry with tofu and modified the vegetables and it was very good. My go to place is Little Spice in Hanover and this is the dish I always get. Lemongrass too was comparable on the flavor BUT the portion was a lot smaller and the price was higher. But I enjoyed mine. The 2 people I was with didn't seem to like theirs as much. One had a salad with beef and the other chicken pad thai. I didn't try either, as I don't eat meat. We shared an appetizer, a crispy onion thing and it was good. The Thai iced tea was way too sweet for me. The service was good. Our guy was nice, answered a ton of questions, and let us take our time talking. We sat outside and it was nice. I'm definitely going back. I just wish it was a but more food for the price. I usually end up with leftovers at...
