    Lemongrass Thai has been around for years. The last time (before yesterday) that I ate there was back in 2007-ish. It was delicious then and delicious now, with great service. This is a great spot for lunch or dinner-they have a wonderful lunch menu, each dish only $13.90 and includes your choice of an appetizer and drink. The appetizer options included a spring roll and Tom Ka Gai soup. Both were excellent, but the soup was outstanding. Dinner prices are reasonable as well. They do have a limited wine/beer menu. The seating area is small, but cozy and informal. There are a few tables for patio/outdoor dining if the weather is decent. It is located in a strip mall, so the "patio dining" is not private- but still relatively quiet. Whether you want to dine in or takeout, I highly recommend this Thai restaurant.

    Good Thai food. Good service. You can pick your level of cury heat, spice. A must go to place, if you like Thai food.

    I was hungry I took a bite.   Great flavor.  If you like spice ask for 2 or higher.   Beef Pen Beef Panang

    This restaurant is so cute and intimate. They had soft music and ambient lighting. It is perfect for a couple or date. They have a fairly steady stream of takeout orders and so i was able to get a sense of there usual customer base which seems to be older. I say this because I realized in hindsight I should have asked for more spice and different veggies. The flavor of my meal was excellent, but I tend to be more adventurous. I don't think there regulars are the adventurous sort. Moral of my story ask if you want something more adventurous or spicy. My husband got the duck and he ate his and finished mine. Nothing more to be said, he was beyond satisfied which really was my goal. Definitely a mission accomplished.

    Tried Lemongrass Thai for the first time and had takeout. The Yellow Chicken Curry was delicious. The bowl wasn't completely filled but still a good size. I would order again. Intimate size restaurant and good customer service.

    The chicken pad thai here is amazing. The noodles are perfectly cooked and tossed in a tangy tamarind sauce with just the right amount of sweetness. The crushed peanuts and lime add so much flavor.

    I've been a regular here for a couple years. I LOVE this place. The Lunch menu is perfectly priced and portions are just right! The food is delicious - fragrant, light, fresh and a very appealing presentation. The service is friendly and welcoming. I love them all- from the servers to the kitchen they aim to please. I always eat in because the food is piping hot when it leaves the kitchen and tastes best this way. Because the restaurant is small, comfortable, quiet and relaxed though, take out is definitely a good option and I always see a lot of people picking up their orders. This is a family run business and you can tell from the minute you enter this establishment that they care about each other almost as much as they care about their patrons. This place is a gem in North Raleigh- don't miss it!

    Do they take reservations?

    No for dinner it opens at 5pm it will be full up possibly before 6pm

    Can you customize a dish? Example ? Chicken pad Thai with no egg or tofu added ? Do they use MSG?

    I think so but I'm not sure, you should ask them.

    Delicious!! This was…read moremy first time having ramen, and my friend suggested we go here, and I'm so glad we did! Noodle Blvd is located in a spot that you could easily miss, but it's easy to get back on track. I pulled into the gas station parking lot beside the restaurant, then just turned right into the restaurant parking lot. The parking lot is fairly small, so be warned about that. My friend was there when I arrived, and he sat at the bar. When I walked in the door, I was greeted with smiles and waves. It was very inviting, which is fitting for a ramen restaurant. My friend ordered us Lychee Margaritas, and oh my goodness, it was so good! We decided to visit right at opening on a Saturday, so the bartender was still preparing some of the ingredients needed for the margarita. The bartender informed us that it's usually better once a key ingredient sits for a while, but I loved the drink regardless. I ordered edamame for an appetizer, which came quickly and was good! Since I've never had ramen before, I asked our server what he recommended, and he told me about some of their most popular dishes. He told me the N9. Chicken Curry Ramen was a favorite of his and the patrons, so I decided to order that. It came quickly, and I was immediately in HEAVEN upon my first bite. I loved every bite after! I decided to play it safe with the spice and got level 2, but I can definitely go up a level or 2 since I love spicy. Highly recommend, and I will be back! Worth the drive from Clayton, where I live.

The broth was rich and balanced, the pork was tender, and the toppings--bok choy, beansprouts, bamboo, onions, nori, and that perfectly seasoned egg--brought everything together beautifully. I did ask them to cut the meat up but they were "not able" to accommodate that request. Every bite felt warm, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. The service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe of the place is fun and energetic. The music was a bit louder than I prefer, but it didn't take away from how good the food was. If you're craving a great bowl of ramen in a lively atmosphere, Noodle Boulevard is absolutely worth the stop.

The shrimp, beef, & chicken meal would've been okay if the beef hadn't been questionably fresh (I didn't eat any after the first bite) and the tough, overcooked shrimp. I tipped 15% because the service was terrible. Aside from the lady yelling, "It's okay?" from the kitchen, she never checked on me. Usually, I tip between 25-30%. After I paid and left the restaurant, the rude cashier followed me out to my car. Pointing to the receipt & tip, he yelled, "This is it?? %15 tip??" The only positive thing that I can say about Chuan Cafe is that the Diet Coke was good.

Room for probably 3 diff groups of people to eat. There were tables to seat 4, two tall stool seats by the window facing the parking lot, and a tucked away spot with a folding chair beside it and had cups of utensils on it. I ordered the cold flour noodle with sesame sauce and the shaanxi mutton soak buns. Both were tasty and the cold noodles were refreshing. The employee described the mutton soak buns dish as a soup soaked pancake which is pretty accurate. It reminds me of a rice porridge but with chopped dough instead of rice. The restroom is in the back through the kitchen which is kinda cool because you can see them rolling out all the round flat bread that they use for the dishes. I'm guessing it's what they use for the rougamo (I've seen it at other Chinese restaurants described as a Chinese hamburger) and the shaanxi soak buns. It almost has a gnocchi type of consistency. It isn't your average fried rice and stir fry type of Chinese restaurant so if you're looking for something like that it might not meet your expectations. I would definitely come back to try other menu items. Also, get the plum juice. It's delicious!
