LemonTree Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in South Carolina

A Hidden Gem in Spartanburg – Authentic Thai Cuisine! (The owner was changed six months ago so I understand later why such an amazing restaurant has negative comments)

We were traveling and needed to stop for dinner in Spartanburg—otherwise, we would have missed mealtime, as the next big town was two hours away. Among the few options, this restaurant stood out because it looked new, the dishes appeared fresh and well-presented, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. We decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience!

The restaurant itself is just as cozy, clean, and inviting as the photos suggest—simply decorated but bright and well-kept. The hostess, Lida (I hope I spelled her name correctly!), was incredibly warm and welcoming—a hardworking, caring, and family-oriented woman who added to the pleasant atmosphere.

We ordered several dishes, and each one was delicious and authentic:

Shrimp Roll: A classic Vietnamese-style roll (her chef friend is from Laos!), perfectly fresh with a fantastic homemade dipping sauce.

Green Curry: One of the best we’ve had—balanced with just the right amount of coconut milk and that distinct herbal freshness green curry should have. (My husband loved it so much, he had two servings of rice with it!)

Seafood Salad: A signature dish with papaya, lettuce, baby tomatoes, peanuts, green beans, and shrimp—crisp, bright, and full of flavor.

Deep-Fried Pompano Fish: Lightly seasoned (perhaps with just salt and herbs?) and fried to perfection, served with a delicious homemade sauce.

We also tried their signature dessert—a delightful mix of mango, strawberry, blueberry, and sweet sticky rice (a classic Thai treat). Everything was so fresh and satisfying!

The best part? The total bill, including tip, was just $50 for two—an incredible value for such high-quality food. We left completely full and happy, already planning to return on future trips.

If you’re in Spartanburg and craving authentic, flavorful Thai cuisine, this place is a must-try. You won’t be...

I recently had the pleasure of ordering take-out in person from LemonTree Thai Cuisine, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The owner of the restaurant was very nice and helpful when I was placing my order, and she even took the time to guide me through the menu.

I ordered the garlic chicken and spring rolls, and when I picked up my order, I was impressed with how well-packaged everything was. The food was still hot and fresh, and it smelled amazing.

When I got home and tasted the food, I was blown away by the incredible flavors and quality of the ingredients. The garlic chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned, with just the right amount of kick to make it memorable. The spring rolls were crispy and delicious, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection.

One thing that really stood out to me was how fair the prices were. For the quality of the food and the level of service, I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable it was.

Overall, I highly recommend LemonTree Thai Cuisine for your next take-out or dine in order. If you're looking for phenomenal Thai food with exceptional service and fair prices, this is the place to go. I can't wait to order from them again and try more of their...

Decided to give this place a try based on the reviews and the proximity of it to my house. The restaurant was clean and the front workers were extremely friends. I got the beef pho, and we also got chicken fried rice and kids chicken tenders and fries. I gotta say, they have about the best pho in the area, and I've tried just about every pho place from Spartanburg to Greenville. The lemongrass kitchen in Spartanburg and Mekong in Greenville are probably my favorite, but LemonTree is right there up with them. Broth was flavorful, plenty of noodles, and the beef was delicous. The chicken fried rice was also much better than the others I've tried in the area. My 5 year old ate just about an entire order himself. My daughter had the chicken tenders, and they actually hand bread the chicken. One of the ladies working the front came and asked if we wanted to turn on some cartoons for my 3 year old daughter which was very sweet. We will defintely be...
