    The happy hour here is truly unbeatable! I sat inside and loved the dim, artsy ambiance. The drinks were all fantastic, and the food was just as good. We tried the dan dan noodles, dumplings, eggplant burrata, and chicken fried rice. The chicken fried rice was the standout for me, but honestly, everything was amazing. Such a fun spot for drinks and sharing a bunch of dishes!

    We went for the 'flavor of palm beach'. The food was amazing. The service was great! The restaurant was beautiful! I can't want to go back. So many interesting things on the menu

    Chili Calamari

    I tried coming here last year but the wait was too long, so glad I was able to make a reservation this time. I started the night with the Confucius cocktail and it was very tasty (vodka, lychee, pineapple, coconut & lime). We happened to go during Flavor of Palm Beach, like Magical dining in Orlando, or restaurant week in NYC. There was a $30 prefixed menu. I started with the salmon crispy rice and they were one of my favorite things! For my entree I had the mushroom chow fun, loved the wide, thick noodles, but it had more mushrooms and Chinese broccoli than noodles. My husband got the orange chili calamari, also very delicious and the Mongolian beef (better than the noodles for sure). For dessert we both had the mango coconut sticky rice which was so yummy, and not too sweet. The ambiance here was so nice, very elevated! The big Buddha gave Tao vibes for sure. We will definitely be back!

    We finally got to dine at Blackbird Modern Asian. Beyond the crowd, the decor was just as I expected, beautiful artwork, sculptures and screens, all in rich asian colors. We were seated within five minutes of our scheduled reservation. The service was excellent. Our server, Jonathan checked back on us regularly and made good suggestions. The food was served as soon as it was fired, so everything came to the table hot and fresh. Overall, the food was good - - not always great. The Peking Duck was exceptional. The duck meat was tender and flavorful, the skin crisp and the portion massive. I loved that the steamed pancakes were separated by thin paper layers, so they didn't stick together. The brisket fried rice was good - I still prefer roast pork, but that's a matter of personal taste. The Chicken Pad Thai had a wonderful flavor and balance - but the noodles were overcooked, and so a bit gummy. The orange Chicken had wonderful flavor, and I really enjoyed the perfectly cooked orange peel. Unfortunately, the chicken was overcooked - and a bit stringy. The bao buns were disappointing. The Brisket was not sauced and it was a bit dry. There was a sauce over the top, but it would have been much better had the brisket been dressed. The pork Belly Tiki Bao Bun was much better - and the meat was sauced. Overall we had a good meal and really enjoyed the beautiful modern asian setting.

    The Blackbird (Espresso Martini)
    Isabel H.

    The drinks here are very good. My whole group got the espresso martini and the presentation was delightful. As someone that isn't a huge fan of Chinese food, the appetizers and desserts shined, while I didn't love the entrees. I did the 3 course dinner, which is $39. For the appetizer I got the Truffle Salmon Rice, so good!!!! The main I got was Shrimp Lo Mein, not good. And I had my non-picky friends try it and they agreed! For the dessert I got the Banana Cake and my friend got the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice. Everyone agreed the Banana Cake was way better. It was so unique and delicious, and not too heavy. I tried my friends Smoked Brisket Fried Rice and it was the best entree on the table. The portions are huge so really you could split a dish. Service was good, a little slow on the water refills. Nice atmosphere and not too loud.

    Blackbird Modern Asian absolutely blew me away. From valet to the moment you walk in, everything feels intentional, polished, and special. Nicole, our server, was fantastic super knowledgeable and helped us navigate the shareable menu with great recommendations. The cocktails were next level silky smooth and some of the best I've had. You really can't go wrong with any of their specialty drinks. Food-wise, the crab fried rice was the star of the show. It comes topped with a generous scoop of lump crab and was absolutely delicious. The orange chicken was great too, especially paired with the smoky bok choy. The Dan Dan noodles were a bit different (served warm instead of the usual cold), but still really good. And don't skip dessert the "Year of the Horse" was rich, decadent, and unforgettable. Overall, an incredible dining experience and easily my new favorite spot for Asian food in South Florida.

    Another 5 star review for Blackbird last night! I would give six but I ran out of stars!!! First I must give accolades to the GM Walter and our server Angie both amazing, professional, fun and great at their jobs! As for the food and service once again they did not disappoint at all! Our main dishes were the Duck it was so good we got two of them and two Tomahawk's all cooked to perfection. I think we ordered 9 appetizers as well to go along, all great, not too bad for five Italian guys out to break bread and have some laughs. Let me also give a shout out to John at the bar, he's funny smart and makes a killer drink!! See pics attached

    This place is so popular! Be sure to make a reservation and observe the dress code! It's so nicely decorated. The vibe is fun & the decor is beautifully done. Each dish is yummy. We went for an early dinner and took advantage of the happy hour menu. So good. So yummy. Valet parking at the door.

    The celebration platter...save room. No joke. The bomb. All the desserts you can handle
    Tiffany B.

    The BOMB. Our waitress Bridget was super. She catered to our every need. She went above and beyond and i will make sure to request her when we go again. She was amazing. Super sweet. The food was so delicious. The ambiance is incredible. I mean there is a tree in the middle of the place. It is family style so good hungry. You will leave incredibly full and completely satisfied. Absolutely gorgeous ambiance. Oh and make a reservation. It is impossible to get a table without one!!!

    Duck fried rice, the rings Behind it are calamari

    Went with friends ..everyone enjoyed. We were seated right with our resv, nice round table for 6! Ainsley was our server, she was efficient! Cocktails were yummy, we stayed with the early bird menu small plate, bao bun, crispy tuna and Cantonese egg roll..all were yummy. Dinner we shared the orange chicken and veggie fried rice. Dessert was raspberry chocolate pistachio, which was good. Others had the walnut shrimp, ribs, calamari .. totally delicious! The ambiance is pretty and nice casual, conversations were easy.

    Friends have repeatedly recommended this restaurant and I am happy to say that we finally had the opportunity to try it. The moment you walk into the dining room you can feel the modern Asian vibe. It's always crowded and there's lively conversation all around.The drinks and food all have a modern twist as you would expect given the name. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. Each dish came out as soon as it was ready, hot, fresh and beautifully presented. Very upscale and trendy.

    Happy Hour Menu
    Krysten B.

    05/02/26 This was our second time visiting for our anniversary. We liked it so much last year, we chose to celebrate our 22nd anniversary here too. The service and food were just as good as we remembered. We had an early reservation and were there for happy hour. We both decided to get a drink and I was happy to hear that mocktails were included on the happy hour. I enjoyed my yin and yang mocktail and really liked the real ginger taste. We then started off with the short rib and bone marrow dumplings. They remind me more of a wonton than a dumpling, but either way, they were delicious. My husband really wanted the peking duck, but after looking at the menu we saw that it said after 5pm and it was only somewhere between 4:15-4:30. We decided to ask our server to be sure and she graciously was willing to go to the back and ask the kitchen. To our surprise, we were able to order the duck. The duck was interesting and tasty, but it takes up a lot of room on the table. You need at least a table of four to accommodate everything. We also ordered the DanDan noodles. They were quite oily and a tad spicy. Not something I'd order again, but at least we got to try them. We finished off our meal with the Chocolate Pistachio Bomb and it did not disappoint. Since our server knew we were celebrating our anniversary, our dessert came out with a small chocolate sign that read Happy Anniversary. It also came out with a sparkling firecracker to add to the celebration. Hot chocolate sauce was poured over the chocolate "bomb" shell to reveal the chocolate cake underneath which added to the tableside presentation of our dessert. We did inquire about the celebration platter which is supposed to be for 4-6 guests. I didn't really care and thought for the right price, we might just splurge and indulge in everything. We were told it is $75 and was a smaller portion of all 5 desserts. However, if you order each of the five desserts separate, the total is $72. So, it didn't really make sense to pay $75 for a smaller portion of everything. So, we just decided to get one dessert. In contrast to the service and food, this year we were sat at a two top and it was uncomfortably small for the amount of food, plates, beverages, etc you end up having on the table. Our two top was on the first floor and on the opposite side of our table was a bench seat where people sit while they are waiting for a table. Instead of a wall or solid decor separating our table from the people sitting and waiting, there was a slatted divider type thing. We ended up having people pretty much starring at us while we dined because instead of using that as a backrest, they turned towards our table while sitting on the bench. It was also awkward because as soon as the duck showed up it took up pretty much the whole table. We had to resort to taking some items off the table, including the Chinese pancakes for the duck, and placing them on the booth directly next to my husband. I know the restaurant is crowded and the tables are not secluded, but this was the most awkward dining experience I've had in a while and we felt like we were having dinner with strangers right at our table and no room on the actual table to enjoy our meal. Despite the table situation, I would still return, but would be sure to make some requests about my table seating because it really does matter where you sit.

    It is a nicer, classy restaurant it is just fine for well behaved kids. The tables can be a little tight so I would say it might be challenging for toddlers. The decor is fantastic so kids would find it pretty cool. The menu is amazing but eclectic… 

    What is the dress code? Can you order take out online? Is the happy hour menu pricing extended to take out? Thanks

    Dress code is causal, I recommend no shorts or jeans, Blackbird is beautifully designed, so you might want to blend with the decor. You can order online to take out, not sure about happy hour menu extended for take out. Blackbird is my newest…

We tried the spicy eggplant, the After School Dumplings with pork, shrimp Pad Thai, and some sushi. Everything was delicious -- honestly, I don't think you can go wrong here. I definitely recommend checking out the new menu. We sat outside on a beautiful evening, which made it even nicer. It was the perfect setting for celebrating my friend's birthday. The one little hiccup was with my OpenTable reservation. Even though the restaurant checked me in, I later got an email from OpenTable saying they understood that plans change. Umm... yes, but we were actually there! I wrote back and explained that we had been there and were celebrating a birthday. They did make it right, but it was definitely a glitch that could have easily been avoided. Still, Lemongrass is always a good standby for me in Delray. The parking situation these days isn't exactly ideal, but the food is worth dealing with it. Another great meal!

    Absolutely Fantastic -- Best Chicken Pad Thai I've Ever Had!…read more Lemongrass in Delray Beach was an outstanding experience from start to finish! The Chicken Pad Thai was hands down the best I've ever had. Even though it wasn't listed on the menu, they were more than happy to accommodate our request, and it was incredible -- fresh, flavorful, perfectly prepared, and absolutely delicious. The edamame was also outstanding and packed with great flavor. Even the lemonade stood out -- incredibly refreshing with a fantastic fresh flavor. The service was excellent as well -- attentive, friendly, and accommodating. You can tell they care about both the quality of the food and the experience they provide their guests. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavors, excellent service, and a kitchen willing to go the extra mile. Lemongrass has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite restaurants in Delray Beach. I'll absolutely be back -- especially for that Chicken Pad Thai! Highly recommend!

We only got drinks this time and we picked the lychee martini, yamazaki swinger, and the Lua Pele Scorpion Bowl. The vodka and the sake in the lychee martini didn't go to well or it was just a bad mix that day. But I was not a fan of the drink. The yamazaki swinger was very watered down and we barely tasted the whiskey. The Lua Pele Scorpion bowl wasn't much of a show and while the drink did taste good, it was mostly filled with decorations. It's supposed to serve 2-4 people but after we took all the decorations out and poured the drink into a cup, it was barely a full cup. I'll definitely give it a try again as I'm not sure how the food was and maybe it was just an off day for the bartender.
