    It had a great experience at Lemongrass restaurant. We had reservations so we didn't wait at all. We shared the chicken satay. I ordered the roasted duck with orange tamarind which I think everyone should try . It was delicious, packed of flavor. The asparagus were tasty too. My lady bug had the Pangang curry with short rib and it looked amazing

    Calimari
    Travis S.

    Easily the best Calimari I've ever had. So good. The service was great. I can't rememeber the servers name but she was the perfect blend of entertaining, attentive, and knew when to give us time to have conversation (business dinner). The setting was comfortable. The food was all delicious.

    Filet Massaman Curry

    Had a delicious Monday night dinner at Lemon Grass. They are extremely accommodating of a large party. We had a private dining room and restroom for our 20 person party. We started with calamari, vegan dumplings, spring rolls, and fried cauliflower. I had the Filet with Massaman as an entree and the warm chocolate cake for dessert. Everything on the menu is amazing, you can't go wrong!

    Great food good service I definitely recommend this restaurant every thing was excellent

    The staff were all friendly. The restaurant was beautiful. Clean environment. Street parking. They had a decent selection of food and beverage items. The food was a nice Thai inspired or Thai fusion restaurant.

    Seated a large party for business trip, fast and attentive service. Food phenomenal! Oysters fresh, deserts perfectly crafted. Always can count on a great time here.

    Lemongrass is one of the best modern Thai restaurants in New York. Great foods, excellent service and the best ambience in Syracuse. Highly recommended.

    This was my second time here, and I came for Downtown Dining Week. Personally, I think it's one of the best spots downtown; however, it's on the pricey side. I ordered the lobster dip as my appetizer, the salad with peanut dressing, and the gra pow with shrimp. I asked for my main dish with a few more long peppers. In my opinion, it could have been a bit spicier. Butttttt...I learned last year when I ordered my green curry extra spicy that they do not play!!! There was an unbelievable amount of long hots and then chili peppers on top. I think I drank probably 2 gallons of water (see picture for evidence--I rarely say anything is too spicy). My friend and I shared the raspberry tart for dessert. It's not included, but the desserts here are truly spectacular. Service is always top notch and the vibe is upscale, yet casual.

    Gra Pow with shrimp

    I found myself at Lemon Grass during my weekend in Syracuse visiting some of my college friends. I haven't been to Syracuse since 2017, and am not familiar with the food scene in the city. That being said, I let my friends have free reign as to where to go to eat - and they suggested here since it's a favorite spot of theirs. Lemon Grass is located in downtown Syracuse, among a number of other businesses in the area. The restaurant was pretty busy when we arrived, and from what I gathered from initial impressions this space attracted both bar patrons and diners. The restaurant is large - there's a spacious front room what contains the bar and some tables and it then gives way to another room in the back with more tables (this is where we were seated). The back room had a partition set up to accommodate a private party - but even with this it was ultra roomy (I think one of my friends said the restaurant inconspicuously takes up the length of the block it's on). The decor was somewhat modern with Earth tones, colored accents on the wall, and mellow live music playing. Even with this, the space wasn't warm - I think it had to do with the sheer size of the space, it just didn't land well for me. The menu mainly contained Thai dishes, though there was also a small selection of American fare as well. There were a *lot* of specials, but our server did an amazing job remembering them and had no problem repeating items or answering any questions we had. The majority of the dishes were flavor combinations that you paired with a protein of your choice with an emphasis on different curries. We started with a drink - they have a full bar selection as well as some seasonal cocktails. I had a ginger-based cocktail which had good flavor. Before mains, we decided to start with some apps: spring rolls and shrimp dumplings. Both were good - lots of flavor and paired with tasty sauces. For my main I decided to get the Gra Pow which was a chili and garlic based dish which I decided to pair with shrimp. The dish was really tasty - it was slightly spicy, loaded with flavor, and the shrimp were large. Service was great, food came out at a good pace and our server was really friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Lemon Grass - the food was good as well as the service. I would definitely be open to returning if I was ever in the area again.

    Red curry special with lobster scallop, fish and egg noodles
    Robert D.

    The staff was friendly and professional. Waitstaff (not our waiter) came across the restaurant to remove no longer needed dishes. The bus-man had a keen eye and continuously returned to full our water glasses. The waiter gave us time to read the menu and have conversation and then come back with info on the specials. The food was well prepared and tasty, although the paneer cubes were entirely too large. I ate the specials red very with fish lobster and scallop topped with fried egg noodles. The chocolate can can for dessert was creative and tasty too. The cocktails had creative names and flavor combinations. The ambiance is nice. It was a large restaurant without feeling overwhelming. The bar in the from section makes a warm invitation. My colleagues agree that this is a wonderful restaurant, and I would be happy to return again when I am in town.

    Who could resist getting the slipper dessert? I know I couldn't.

    So glad that we made reservations for New Year's Eve at Lemon Grass. We arrived a few minutes early and only waited about four minutes before our table was ready. I haven't been here since they moved and wow, it is beautiful! I can't believe how large the restaurant is. We had a wonderful table in the back and we could actually hear each other Talk . We had Outstanding service by Rachel our wait staff. The food was 10 out of 10. My granddaughter who has not eaten Thai food before was very happy with her braised short ribs with a side of mashed potatoes. She also thoroughly enjoyed her strawberry sundae for dessert which had pieces of peanut brittle in it. I ordered red and yellow curry with chicken and seafood, and it arrived with lobster tails . The curry was simply delicious with just enough spice, and the dish was served with rice noodles on the bottom and fried rice noodles on the top. My husband had a tofu dish with curry that had enough heat for him, and he loved it One of the highlights of the dinner was my slipper dessert, which looks like a high heeled shoe made of some kind of chocolate a cookie with the foot plate sitting on a rice crispy treat served with cookies and a little pot of creamy deliciousness. When you get to the heel, it is filled with mousse. A beautiful and delicious dessert. And I found a parking spot not far from the restaurant making it a perfect night. Definitely put this on my list of favorite restaurants.

    Their tofu was AMAZING. Cute place for a date night. One of the bartenders reminds me of Happy from Iron Man and I'm so here for it.

    I decided to try lunch here after reading some good reviews. It was after lunch time but there were…read moreabout 6 tables seated. There was one server who was taking care of everything and did an amazing job. She was seating people, taking orders, serving food, bussing tables and ringing people out when they paid. I ordered the lunch special.. appetizer, entree. I ordered the Thai dumplings, Green Curry with chicken and Coconut Flan. The dumplings were homemade but tasted a bit bland. The Green Curry was delicious and very flavorful, the vegetables and chicken cooked perfectly. I actually finished it with my spoon so I could eat every last drop. The flan was very small but sweet and excellent and a perfect end to the meal. I don't think I would get the special again...it was an okay lunch portion but I enjoy getting a larger entree to have leftovers for another day. I will definitely be going back and trying more of their dishes.

    I've always wondered about this restaurant, and this week, I finally had time to stop in and give…read morethem a try. I prefer dining out during lunch hours, I feel you can get a better sense of an establishment when things are calmer. This is exactly what I experienced at Thai Flavor. A very calm and relaxing environment with only one other table being occupied at the time, service was spectacular! I had no clue what to order upon arrival, but I am a huge fan of Thai fried rice, so I was extremely happy to see that it was listed as a part of their lunch special. It did not disappoint! The fried rice was flavorful and "fresh." It didn't taste greasy or have a heavily salted taste profile. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The appetizers were very tasty as well. We ordered spring rolls, which were perfectly fried and chicken satay. The peanut butter sauce that was served with this chicken satay was a bit different than I was am used to. It had more of a natural PB flavor profile, not a deal breaker by any means. I'm so glad I finally dined at Thai Flavor and will definitely return to enjoy their amazingly priced lunch special again soon.
