    Outside street parking
    David N.

    Called to place takeout order. Wasn't too busy when I went. Looked ok inside. Got the pad Thai and pad see ew. Spice level ranges from 1-10. Decent food.

    Love this little gem of a restaurant. It's no frills but the food is consistently good. We ordered take out and noodle dishes were portioned well for two people. Fast service, reliable, and easy location for pick up. Highly recommend the pad Thai and the pad see ew. Parking is curbside but easy to find.

    I've had a hard time finding a good Thai restaurant in Cincinnati. I ordered takeout and the food was ready when I got there. Unfortunately, they were out of duck. The coconut chicken soup was a little too sweet and could use some more lemongrass. There was not much chicken in the soup either. The pad see ew was delicious and the medium spice was a little spicier than expected. I would not get shrimp next time as it was overcooked and mushy.

    Trust us: it was delicious!

    If you like Thai food that is fresh, flavorful and reasonably priced for everyday dining, try Hyde Park's Lemon Grass. Co-owner William greets regulars by name whether they dine-in or carry-out. The dining room is simple, unpretentious and brightly-lit, and the menu features the Thai standards you'd expect, all well-prepared. There are a lot of vegetarian options including our favorites: Swimming Angel Tofu and Crispy Basil Mock Duck. The kitchen is willing to accommodate special requests. Beer and wine options are modest. On our most recent visit, we enjoyed our meal so much, I wasn't able to get a picture until we finished!

    Best Thai food in Cincinnati, quick service and consistent in quality. Also fairly priced for the portion of food you get. Hidden gem!

    Paht Thai

    We live in West Chester and usually have Thai someplace here, but we were at Joseph Beth Bookstore for a book signing and wanted to try a place near Rookwood. Lemon Grass did not disappoint! We ordered Pad Thai (called Paht Thai here) because that is our standard order to gauge how good a Thai place is. We also ordered Chicken Thai Spicy. When we got home we were delighted with the portion size and the flavor of both dishes. The Paht Thai was perfectly executed, and the amount of vegetables to chicken in the Thai Spicy was what I like. We ordered a 4/10 spice level and it was perfect for us. Will definitely order again when down in that area.

    Vegetable clear soup with tofu (vegan)
    Matt B.

    Decent, no-frills Thai food with plenty of vegan options. I came here with an appetite seeing as they had lots of vegetarian and indeed vegan options. I ordered their vegetable clear soup with soft tofu ($4.50) and carrot & cabbage spicy salad with peanuts ($5.50) to start. The soup was bland but pleasant enough, coming cabbage, pea pods and mushrooms. Nothing special here, but pleasant enough -- 3/5. The salad was spicy and somewhat sweet, with a nice dressing to coat the fresh, crunchy cabbage and carrots. This was solid -- 4/5. For my main, I got the Penang curry with tofu ($10.95), served with steamed rice. The curry itself was nicely rich and flavoured, but the only thing it came with was 4 pieces of broccoli and soft tofu. C'mon guys -- you can do better than that. Put some more veggies in there, like bell peppers you would usually see. The curry flavour was very nice, so I was happy with that, but let down by the subpar contents of it. 3.5/5 Good meal overall, but it could easily be improved.

    Chicken Satay, salad
    Tatianna S.

    Lemon Grass is adorable. A small, comforting, and quiet restaurant. I order the chicken satay and a salad. The chicken satay was great! I'm craving it right now actually. The salad was good as well, and decently filling. I was asked what spice level from 1-10. I said 3, thinking that was a good level. I was also confused how they would make my salad spicy. Let me tell you, wow, it had a kick. Next time I'll probably say 1 or 2. So beware! Overall, cute place.

    Pad Thai
    Hile E.

    After craving Thai food, I decided to search for spots around Cincy. I came across Lemon Grass which had pretty good reviews. While the service was speedy and friendly, I found the food disappointing and bland. I've tried a number of Thai restaurants across the United States and the Pad Thai at Lemon Grass did not taste similar to the others. I was left disappointed and unsatisfied. It could have just been this one experience so I may give them a chance in the future or try a different dish on their menu.

    Egg rolls
    Ramesh B.

    We picked up lunch here on a weekday. The device was prompt. I got egg rolls with chicken fried rice, 8 stars. It was not as spicy as I would have liked but it was very flavorful. A totally unassuming place. Will surely be back when in the area.

    A coworker and I were just a few blocks down the road when lunch time hit and we wanted something…read morequick and easy. After a search on Yelp we landed on Thai Pavillion and I'm so glad we did. Here's why... 1) I ordered on their website and it was a very seamless process. I liked that we were even able to select how spicy we wanted our food on a number scale. 2) The pick up time was not long after we ordered, even with it being in the middle of the busy lunch hour. 3) There's parking directly out front so I was able to simply pull up, throw my flashers on, and run in. It was there waiting for me when I arrived. 4) We both ordered the same thing, the pad Thai (spice level 1) with shrimp. We also shared an order of vegetable spring rolls. It came out to about $50 and that included a $5 tip. We both really liked what we got, but I'll stick with my specific opinion. The spring rolls were crispy and definitely hit the spot as an appetizer. As for the pad Thai, it was a great portion size, the spice level was exactly what I wanted, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. It didn't have an overwhelming amount of bean sprouts, which was appreciated. The sauce was rich in flavor and the noodles were just right. We both agreed that we would order from here again. It was the best pad Thai I've had in a while. Definitely give them a try!

The restaurant is quaint, yet open, and totally family friendly. Servers are warm and courteous, even when they are slammed during peak dinner time (6:30-8). You get to choose from a Japanese and Thai menu, which contain a wide selection of equally delicious dishes, including fresh Sushi. You get 3 good restaurants in 1! Some dishes we've tried multiple times and recommended based on balanced flavors and consistency are: THAI: Spicy basil pork- has sweet scent of holy basil and abundant sauce. Our favorite to pour over rice. Papaya salad- full of flavor, but be conservative on your spice level selection ranging from 1-10. If you want "medium" spice, go with 2/3. Panang curry- you can choose your meat, but it's traditionally served with beef, which I think it's the best pairing as well. You can never go wrong with Thai curry, unless you order above your spice level ;) Pad see ew- stir fried wide rice noodles, also known as soy sauce noodles, comes with your choice of meat and veggies. Kids love it because noodles are soft and sauce is sweet. Crowd pleaser. JAPANESE: Katsu don- crispy chicken or pork cutlet drenched in sweet & salty sauce mixed with scrambled eggs and caramel used onions served over rice in a bowl. Total comfort Salmon teriyaki- great, nutritionally balanced meal with perfectly grilled salmon basted with teriyaki sauce over rice, and a side of shredded and steamed carrots and zucchini. Never regret ordering this. APPS: shrimp shumai and miso soup SUSHI: Cincy roll, spicy yellowtail, salmon nigiri As you can see, there are a lot of good options here. Go with a bigger group and dine family style to get the most out of your visit.

We ordered a variety of entrees, but the highlight was definitely the pho. The broth tasted very close to what you'd find in California and even Vietnam, which was a pleasant surprise. Really rich, balanced, and comforting. The only downside was the lack of fresh herbs on the side. It only came with a dish of bean sprouts, so it felt like it was missing that extra freshness that usually completes a bowl of pho. Service was amazing, mostly students from UC. But everyone was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Parking was pretty easy, which made the whole experience even smoother. Overall, still a solid spot, especially if you're craving pho that tastes authentic.
