Great little Thai restaurant. The menu choices are many and the food is good. I started out with the House Salad in which all of the vegetables were extremely fresh and topped with their homemade Thai Peanut Dressing that was delicious! For our entrees, I had the Pad Thai, and while I've had better, it was still very tasty, and my wife loved their Nam Sod. We finished with their homemade Thai Donuts - an absolutely must!! read more

Excellent pad thai. Had it for lunch and came with soup and a spring roll; also very good. Careful when asking for "hot". The hot here is really hot. Will be back. read more

See all

Smaller than other buffet restaurants, but they've a good food, and a great service. Especially like chicken wings, and soups. $7.99 isn't pricey for buffet restaurant.. read more

Value for your money! I love their vegetable soup with lots of Sriracha. The chicken wings are yummy! The curries, pad Thai, tempura veggies, green papaya salad, banana in coconut milk...everything is tasty. Everyone is friendly there. It's my weekly stop! I have one concern...the customer who goes there not just to eat but hogs a table for four even after s/he is finished and can clearly see that there are people waiting. S/he is not only rude but inconsiderate. It's not Starbucks or Barnes & Noble, where you can just sit around...do that in your home. Here's to you: When you've finished eating, get up, pay, then leave, so others can be seated, to eat! You are depriving the restaurant's ability to make money so, they can keep the lunch buffet at a reasonable price. You know who you are because you've done this more than once, with your earbuds on. read more

Been looking for a good Thai restaurant in the area and Lemon Grass Thai Kitchen is great! Had the Tom Yum soup with shrimp medium heat and it was super yummy. The Som Tum (green papaya) salad was fresh and crunchy with beautiful subtle flavor, my husband would have liked to have extra peanuts but I'm sure that's something that you could ask for. Pad Thai was delicious, and the Panang Curry, hot, was light and delicious, the right blend of sweetness and spice, the vegetables cooked to perfection. I look forward to sampling other items on the menu. The staff are friendly and the restaurant was bright and clean. Would definitely recommend. read more

First impression is a lasting impression! So, in my ginger sauce vegetable dish I found a piece of hair, who knows how many more pieces of hair were there. As soon as I found the first one, I stopped eating. It disgusted me and it goes to shows that the cook does not wear any hair net or something to cover the head. Some might think I am making a big deal, but one can imagine how sweaty it might get back in the kitchen and this was piece of sweaty hair was found in my food. read more

Lemon Grass Thai Kitchen - Hair pushed to side for better view! - Thai Near Me - Riverview, Florida

So good reviews here. Nice. Well, I took my family for lunch and it was nice. My daughter-in-law had Pad Thai she said was delicious. My son ordered fish with a spicy coconut dip of which he enjoyed, too. My order was the seafood fried rice. It was good and I had enough for leftovers. I did expect it to be a spectacular experience from reviews and urging from friends. I really had more of an alright experience with nothing more unusual than any other Chinese restaurant. The bill, however, was spectacular. At a whopping $89.00, I wouldn't say it was worth it. Sorry folks. read more

Love the food, very friendly staff, and reasonably priced. It's an excellent establishment and I highly recommend.

Take Out review: Hubby and I happened upon this place while looking for dinner options after a tiring game of kickball. We placed our order with a nice woman working the front. Luckily the place wasn't too busy since it was a Wednesday night so we got our food fairly quickly. We ordered a chicken pad thai (stir-fried rice noodles with egg, crushed peanuts, cilantro and scallions in a mild sweet sauce) and a chicken pad se-ew (stir-fried wide rice noodles with veggies in a semi-sweet brown sauce). We both enjoyed our selections as they had great flavor and the portions were large. Since I have a tendency to like most things, I usually look to my picky-eater husband to gauge whether or not a place is any good. Hubby approved of this place! He loved the flavor of his pad se-ew and the little taste I got of it was full of yumminess. I was also a fan of the pad thai I ordered. It wasn't too sweet nor was it overly spicy. I'll be coming back to this place for sure! I'm also curious to try their $7.95 weekday lunch buffet. It'd be a good chance for me to try their other dishes. read more

After reading reviews, I had high expectations, as Thai is my favorite cuisine. The flavors just tasted off to me. I've had Tom Kha in many different regions and they were all somewhat similar with slight variations. This one was much different and didn't taste very coconut-based. Thai curry is one of my favorite foods, but this one was just ok to me. read more

Another wonderful Thai addition to the Brandon area. The weekday lunch buffet is a great way to try Thai food for the first time, or for those of us that love to eat it on a regular basis. This is the same people that own the long established Lemon Grass restaurant on Kennedy in Tampa. The staff is super nice and very attentive. The food is always fresh and very well priced. Try it, as you will not be disappointed. read more

So good. You can tell the food is fresh and healthy. I eat here a lot because I work next door. The massaman curry is to die for and so are the rice wrapped spring rolls. The price is good too! read more

Giving another star because their lunch buffet is awesome! Yummy soups, Thai salads, and your typical Thai dishes along with rices, noodles, and egg rolls. Food was fresh, hot, and for the most part all very good. Did I mention it's only 8 bucks!? read more

I've ordered duck curry from here for carryout several times. always a good meal.

Their curries are always no fails,& their crab rangoon is perfect. So is their coconut chicken soup. Never had a problem at both locations!

Thought we had found our Thai place in Brandon........we were wrong! This IS THE place!!! Yellow Curry, Pa De Gow, Tom ka everything super fresh, awesome, great portion sizes. Great staff super clean place! Will be back very very soon for the lunch buffet! read more

I've had the lunch buffet a few times. Food is really good. I've had mostly great experiences there. Though I'm writing this review because today was a lil frustrating. I arrived right before 2pm, the buffet closes at 2:30. I got a plate of food but many of the pans were empty. There were 13 of us still dining. I went up to get my 2nd plate and noticed nothing was added since my first trip. I asked if more food would be put out. The young woman said "probably not because we are closing in 10 minutes". It was 2:10 at this time. So I asked "you close at 2:20?". The waiter chimed in and asked what I would like, he then made me a plate of what I requested. Which was nice but I shouldn't have had to have this confrontation. Also, there's still 12 others currently dining. There were literally 7 empty pans out of maybe 10. The most popular dishes empty. My thing is, there are too many people dining in your establishment to not keep the food full until those people are finished, paid and gone. I will come back as it is affordable and food is good. Just hoping they'll fix this issue. read more

We ordered take out & live about 15-20 minutes away. We got home & realized our crab Rangoon was noodles. Plain noodles. I called & the lady answered saying oh I know I missed up your order (I guess from caller id) she said she would just credit my entire order for the inconvenience. Never did. Pretty disappointing but the food is good. read more

We go here at least once a week for lunch. Their buffet is reasonably priced and have outstanding food. Their chicken wings are to die for and their spring rolls. They always have white and fried rice, some type of curry, and vegan dishes. They have soups and salad bars also! We highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for an amazing quick filling lunch buffet. read more

Ah.... Pad Se Ew with calamari. Medium to Hot! Sabor y Caliente! read more

Lemon Grass Thai Kitchen - Beef with peanut sauce. Amazingly good! - Thai Near Me - Riverview, Florida

This place is awesome. I knew there was a Lemon Grass Thai restaurant in south Tampa and I heard about this location last week. We decided to give it a try and I am so happy I did. The restaurant is not big, but it is super clean and the food is to die for. I am a vegetarian, so I am usually nervous if restaurants would have a good selection for me. Lemon Grass certainly did, actually there was such a great selection I was really impressed with the variety of both vegetarian and non veggie selections. The staff is also super friendly. I think this is going to be one of my favorite places for lunch. They have a great buffet as well as you can order from the menu, but you will not go wrong with the buffet for sure. read more

First time here and we will keep coming back! The food is great and the prices are even better! We had the calamari for starters...very crispy and served with the usual sweet that chili sauce...it was very good. We also had the pad that with shrimp and the pineapple curry with shrimp and chicken. Can't go wrong with either of the items. I would recommend this place for dinner as it is not crowded or loud but had plenty of people eating here and the staff are super friendly!! read more

I was skeptical about this place but the price was unbeatable and the food was good. Awesome lunch buffet and great variety.

I've done take out twice-- the Pad Thai is good, but I've had better. My problem has been the service: the first time, I just felt unwelcomed as I waited for my take out. This time I called at 5:10 for a 6pm. I got there at 5:40 and expected to wait-- but after I paid the girl turned around and my food was bagged up on a counter at room temperature waiting for me. I'm glad I didn't get there when I said I would. I'm not even sure how healthy food sitting out for 30m, before being driven 10m home is-- but it's poor service. read more

this place is pricey but good....take out is always quick yet always warm and fresh. eat in area is not huge but very quaint. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for decent thai. the only negative thing i can say is that they charge an exorbant amount for a side of peanut sauce. Im sorry but if you are ordering a $10 pad thai and you like it saucy, they should make it that way for free. read more

This place is not bad for quick Thai food. The green curry is good and they run an efficient lunch business. I have never waited long for an order, even when not calling a take out order in. The lunch buffet looks good, but I have always done takeout so I will reserve judgement on it. I will keep going back as the product is consistent and they are very quick and easy to deal with on my lunch breaks! read more

Come try their buffet. It's simple spicy and good! Consistency makes me come back year after year. Try it you'll like it!

Great food. I'm not an expert on Thai food at all but I've had some great meals here. I always order the same thing, which is the yellow curry with chicken and I got shrimp one time and was not too impressed but this meal never disappoints. I heard the lunch buffet is very good but I have never been. I've had the calamari which is great, The spring rolls with her also very tasty, the chicken noodles soup as well as the fried doughnuts. read more

By far the best lunch buffet I have ever had. Everything was fresh and full and the taste of everything was remarkable. I will surely be going back often. read more

Awesome atmosphere, phenomenal food, super clean with nice employees and a chill soundtrack. Absolutely recommended.

This place is awesome! The food portions are huge, service was great, and the place is sparkling clean. The atmosphere is definitely a calm hole in the wall. I'd suggest to anyone looking for a good selection of dishes, and those looking to roast their taste buds off! read more

I was not a fan of pad thai until I tried it at Lemon Grass! This is now my go to thai restaurant! Also, their orders to go usually take less than 10 minutes!! read more

I do not recommend this place at all! I ordered a salad and an appetizer and it didn't taste good! Not friendly and over priced!

Went there for lunch break during weekday. Food was average. However, there was a roach on the buffet table !! GROSS !! Never again !!!

I try to go to lunch there once a week. The red chicken curry is amazing and the green papaya salad is a must. I love everything I have tried. I try for 11:30 because the work crowds are big. I believe they also have an outside dining section as well read more

Excellent little place! The egg fried rice, basil fried rice and garlic saute are my favorite. Will be back often!

Lunch Buffet was delish with lots to choose from and very well cooked, good price and friendly service. It is a bit cramped but def a place to revisit. read more

We went for dinner on a Sunday evening. The food was decent , but seemed over price for what looked like a low key delivery food place. There was only one woman working the phone, tables, and pick ups. She tried, but too much for only one person. I may try the buffet, but not for dinner again. read more

One of my favorite thai places in the area. Highly recommend the Pad Bah Me dish (probably misspelled that), its one of my favorites!

I don't recommend to go here for buffet or a la carte. This place is does not refill their buffet enough that there isn't good for you to eat. You have to ask the employees if their gonna refill it. Such a shame. Employees ask if we need the buffet to be refilled. Are you serious?! Why do you need to ask me if we need more food refilled in the buffet. Server doesn't even keep the buffet area clean. I understand that you close early for lunch but if people are still coming in to eat and there's no food to look at, at the buffet plus it's also not being kept clean or wiped down the counters then why bother being open. Just annoyed read more
