We visited this restaurant tonight and had a really good experience. We ordered two dinner combos to share. Each combo came with lemongrass soup, mango salad and an entree. For our entrees we chose a vegetable tofu stir fry and a broccoli chicken dish. The Soup: The lemongrass soup was amazing! It is gluten free and has an amazing flavour pallet. I was trying to identify what the little seeds in the soup were and then I realized it was fried garlic. The soup had an amazing lemon flavour with hints of tomato and fried garlic. Lots of other spices were used and it was absolutely amazing. The salad: The mango salad wasn't what I imagined it would be. It featured mango over lettuce and didn't have any dressing. I wish it had some type of sauce but I enjoyed the mango bits. The Entrees: The Chicken Broccoli Entree was fantastic! It had a really nice lemon flavour and was gluten free. I really enjoyed the dish and was very happy with it. The vegetable tofu dish was great too. It was a little bit oily and it featured lots of vegetables including broccoli, mushrooms, boo Choy and more. Together both dishes gave us a nice protein sorbet with lots of good for you vegetables. I was really happy with our order. Our meals also came with rice and spring rolls (however my stomach began to hurt a little and I think it might have been from the spring rolls). Would I return? Absolutely! read more

Lemongrass Restaurant - Receipt from Lemon Grass. Not everyone understands Chinese Handwriting. This is a kind of humiliating person. That stupid guy gave me this - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Lemongrass has long been one of our go-to neighbourhood restaurants. It has a new staff these days but its quality and excellent service has not diminished. We are particularly fond of their garlic shrimp and their curries. read more

Really good Vietnamese food, and kid friendly too! Service was really fast, friendly and personable. Been here a couple times and it is consistently good. Ordered the basil chicken, which came with a soup and salad. A mango juice was also a nice addition to the meal. We will be back! read more

I can't begin to describe how bad the food order was that we had delivered. every dish was over cooked and in the exact same thick, dark syrupy sauce. every dish had the exact same few pieces of red and green pepper. if it was free I wouldn't take food from them ever again. read more

Lemongrass offers great Vietnamese and Thai dishes. The restaurant is conveniently located. Support local businesses. Food and atmosphere are both good. I would recommend the combinations they offer on the menu. They are well priced and give you few options, if you can't decide. My go-to meal is Ginger Chicken. The Thai lemongrass soup is also great. I recommend this place. read more

This is NOT a Thai restaurant. They make very nice SE Asia-ish food. Great to take your elder parent when they feel "adventurous". I take my Mom there at least once a week and have given up on asking them to increase the spicy-ness of their food. They do not do that. Mango salad is great albeit they use unripe mangos...Wonton soup is spot-on. Enjoy a risk-free experience, Leaside styleeee. read more

One of the worst services we have ever experienced! They don't explain their dishes well at all and then charge ridiculous amounts for things we didn't actually want. Talk about putting a damper on a rainy day read more

Love this place, this restaurant made me like Pad Thai ! They make it here with curry; chicken and shrimp is the favourite, so delicious. It only gets better if you eat in and ask for the fresh chillies on the side. The other great but expensive dish is the Drunken Crab, -remember- ask for the market price before ordering it is not cheap. Rating 4 stars : Full Belly. read more

Saturday night . . . this tiny restaurant is a revolving door of patrons as one by one, tables were cleared and within minutes had new customers to fill them! We had a table right by the door, which at first I thought 'grrr' but was actually better as navigating your way through the restraint seemed precarious. Staff was a hilarious mix of sweet and attentive, and down-to-buiness wipe-that-grin-off-your-face efficiency. For three people, we ordered: Appetizer platter: I only had the spring roll which was delicious, my husband said the sugar cane shrimp was also good. Pad Thai: decent with a nice freshness Green curry: didn't try it myself but is a friends favourite. Crispy Thai Beef - OMG so good I am only sorry the leftovers were sent home to my brother. Jasmine rice: as you would expect it All in all decent and I would return to try some other tasty things on the menu! Also loved the mix of people in the restaurant itself. read more

This is my favorite Thai fusion place in the area. Clean and fresh looking. Great service and broad menu with choices for everyone. Great dishes I have had - General Tao chicken, spicy black bean chicken, deep fried blue crabs, Singapore noodles, spicy noodles, mussels The impressive thing is you can also ask them to refine a dish to your liking My go to place! read more

Friendly staff, big portion and delicious food. Comfortable seats. My friend and I were enjoying lounge music with Thai style drinks. Don't understand why they got 3 stars from other reviews. read more

Try the veggie taro spring rolls! Friendly staff, very accommodating. Their vegetarian menu items do NOT include chicken broth. Their vegetarian pad thai equally does not contain any fish ingredients. read more

I've been here multiple times and the food is always awesome! I'm a vegetarian and I never feel limited with my choices here. I highly suggest you give it try if your in the area then go for a nice walk on bayview! read more

Horrible food do not go here expecting authentic Thai its the worst Chinese food I've had in Toronto.

Great food! We come here regularly. Pho is so good and the chicken cashew is amazing. Don't know why others have bad experiences with this restaurant, it is amazing! Love it. Usually very busy at night and the service is decent. Would definitely recommend it! read more

I love their food. Alway tasty. They also have numerous gluten free options for my husband to enjoy.

Lemon gross. Three out of four in our party felt unwell immediately after eating here. Food was expensive but poor quality. Much better Thai places in the city. read more

Sometimes the staff offers soup, sometimes they don't... they treat you differently based on how you appear (i noticed). they have decent tasting food but the staff is not always friendly. read more

Lemongrass filled up our own metal containers for a takeout meal - really progressive in a time when we are drowning in takeout waste. The food was tasty and was piping hot when we got home! read more

Come here quite regularly and find the service always excellent. I like their pad Thai and Spring rolls, my sister loves the lemongrass soup. My son really likes the chicken satay. They are soo accommodating and always make suggestions:-)) It's a nice relaxed family atmosphere where I know my 5 year old is welcome:-))) read more

I'm really not one to complain or be annoyingly picky but the food just wasn't anywhere close to what I was expecting. For anyone who's eaten real sticky rice before, in Asia or Toronto or anywhere else, you'll know this "sticky rice" to be a poor imposter. Shanghai noodles were ordered, which was my fault as I was expecting pad see ew (spicy wide rice noodles), but it was pretty tasteless - apart from the oil and sauce. Shrimp cold rolls were tasty and tom yum soup was nothing to write home about. Felt too badly to complain to the staff, plus my wife was not happy with my level of dissatisfaction, but the 3 stars are for their attentiveness and general warmth. Bottom line: they can do better on the food, and so can you. read more

Unbelievable- I just paid $45 for two dishes both of which arrived cold and the quality of the food is something you'd get at a food court. Just terrible, the chicken looks plastic and tastes like paper - I called the restaurant to ask for a refund since nothing has more than one bite from it. The woman was extremely rude and basically told me 'too bad enjoy' read more

ordered take out the other day i guess there are some foods that don't survive the drive even though it was picked up promptly the pad thai was a congealed mass... the curry the same it was expensive also... i don't mind paying for good food,... but this wasn't i have had satay on the road take out and it was a lot fresher and survived the two minute drive home read more

Try the social crispy beef. It's to die for. Shanghai noodles are satisfactory but I've had better. All in all this place is pretty perfect if you're just looking for a good selection of Asian food read more

Worst Thai food ever. Bland not flavorfull. Poor service. Empty restaurant....now i know why. I can see from the reviews i am not alone in my opinion of the place. Very miserable staff. read more

I'm reviewing this restaurant because I've been coming here for a long time and I think it needs more credit than the one star it currently has. It is a decent restaurant in all respects, food is good, service is ok, all in all I'd say it's about average for a somewhat upscale thai fusion restaurant. The purple Saigon is a personal favourite. read more

Went there for lunch with 5 work colleagues for lunch. I had the Pad Thai which was not very good but not terrible. At the end of the meal, we asked for separate bills and were rudely told no. We then asked if we could apply 6 credit cards to the bill and was told that it is there policy that no more than 3 credit cards could be used because she didn't have time to process more than 3 cards. We asked for a manager and was told that one wasn't on site and couldn't be contacted. When I asked for the 15% auto-gratuity (applied to parties of 6 or more) to be removed, we were told that it is their policy to apply a MANDATORY gratuity for parties of 6 or more. She even went as far as to get a dinner menu and show us the clause. There is no such clause in the lunch menus were were provided but this fell on deaf ears. After about 20 minutes of battling we simply paid the bill and left to NEVER EVER RETURN. STAY AWAY! read more

Lots of vegetarian options and great service! Love their selection of vegetarian soup noddles, and their vegetarian curry. Highly recommended!! read more

Been eating here for years, as it's near where I work. Can't understand the average 3 star rating. Place is always top notch and the prices are totally reasonable. It's your typical selection of Asian dishes...mostly Thai, but some Vietnamese etc...quality is always way better than what you'll find at similar places and the service is always very good. I'm not sure what people could complain about. I've been here at least 30 or 40 times over the years and have never had a bad experience . read more

This is your typical, North American-ized restaurant's take on Asian cuisine. This "Meh. I've experienced better" rating couldn't be more a propos. The food was average, the service was less so. Mango juice was good, though! read more

Well, where should I start! I ordered delivery with very simple instructions. Food came with wrong sauces. No big deal. I called the restaurant to see if they had received the additional instructions, (which they did) and a man began screaming at me.. actually screaming.. and said I was wrong, and that was the correct sauce. I reminded him that I live in the community and have eaten there many times before, and when I've asked for peanut sauce before, I was given peanut sauce. He then screamed that he didn't care and hung up. Disappointed by the complete lack of care from start to finish. I cannot support businesses who have abusive workers/ owners. Ever. Good luck. read more

I have eaten here several times now but it seems to be going down in quality over the last few years. They seem to have turned it around a little and it's still the best Thai food in the area. They do 10% for pickup cash costumers. Isn't that illegal? They are obviously trying to avoid Uncle Sam. The service depends whether the owner is there. read more

This was one of the most disappointing meals. I ordered takeout including Pad Thai, mango salad, spring rolls, sticky rice, young chow fried rice, chicken satay and Singapore curried crab and mango sticky rice. We threw more than half the food away because it was so disgusting. The sticky rice wasn't sticky rice at all - it was overlooked regular rice with coconut milk. My kids took a couple of bites of Pad Thai and refused to eat anymore (and they love Pad Thai). The spring rolls were vile...so oily. The fried rice was also oily. The salad was blech and the satay tasted like feet. The crab was actually very tasty which is why I gave this review one star. The mango sticky rice was beyond disappointing, especially considering this is my favourite dish from any Thai restaurant. The staff was nice and I really appreciated their gluten free menu but given how bad the food was all I feel is that I was just robbed of $145. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Our Go-To Spot for Thai and SE Asian yumminess. Halibut verges on being heavenly. Tamarind chicken that rocks. Fast, efficient service. Decor that is mod and cool a la 2004. Always reminds me a bit of The Slanted Door in SF, though that is at another level. If you go, make sure you don't go before me. I hate waiting for tables. read more

Came here for dinner with my girlfriend as we saw the restaurant plastered with awards and nominations so thought we'd give it a try. Ordered their Pad Thai and Pineapple rice and honestly did not think it was that special. Tried really hard to understand why they had so many Awards but just couldn't figure it out. My girlfriend and I are almost positive the taste of pad Thai was made with Ketchup sauce straight from the bottle. The pineapple rice was alright. Nothing inedible or tasted horrible but just didn't find it that special. Just normal. Service was fast and staff were friendly. But not sure I would come here again for the price. Think I might rather visit Thai Express instead next time if I am craving pad Thai pad Thai. read more

Very Bland food. Do not recommend going here. The mcdonalds of thai food. Go somewhere else if you can

I was hesitant about coming here after reading the not so great reviews but a friend of mine insisted this place would be the best place in the area to have dinner. She's a vegetarian and I can definitely see how she'd enjoy their food as there were multiple true veggie options. The restaurant is really long and thin and was quite busy on a weekday night but we were seated fairly fast. I ordered the chicken pad thai and my friend opted for the stir-fried chili tofu. I preferred my friend's tofu over my pad thai as hers was really flavourful while mine was bland and watery. I found the pad thai sauce to be the most unpleasant part of the dish as it was basically ketchup. On the positive side, the portions were large but I didn't think the prices were justified for the meal we had. read more
