Best Thai in San Francisco

by fidafy at Citysearch

This is the best Thai food I've had in San Francisco, and I LOVE Thai food! I have tried many other restaurants that are way more expensive or "popular" and I always come back to Lemongrass.

The food is so fresh and flavorful, the portions are HUGE and the price is very reasonable. The atmosphere is cozy and service is good.

If you love Thai, you have to try Lemongrass!

  • Pros: Excellent food, large portions

Good Food, Terrible Service!

by marrkoss at Citysearch

The food is amazing and the ambiance is lovely!! However... the restaurant is extremely STINGY!!! We were given the Look of Death when we chose not to order an appetizer, and three different waiters fought with us over one bowl of $1 White Rice that was NEVER brought out to us. It wasn't about the $1 or the rice, it was the lack of pure principle and common knowledge of customer service that ruined our experience. Again, the food is great so if you just want great Thai food... we highly recommend Lemongrass, but don't expect decent customer satisfaction...and that is what going out to eat is all about!!

  • Pros: Great ambiance and quality authentic food.
  • Cons: Terrible, terrible service. Stingy owner/workers that don't put customers first.

Avoid this restaurant, they try to ripped me off !!!!!

by luwe3357 at Citysearch

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheater !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I order the food to delivered more than 5 times with this restaurant. The price they gave me was different than the price that i got everytime!!! I have the menu handy and i calculate the price before i call and ordered the food with them. And when i asked them why the price i got different from the price they gave me, they said " sorry the waitress got it wrong !! " It happened to me everytime i ordered the food from them. How come the waitress at this restaurant got the price for me wrong all the time?? I think there're something fishy.....or the waitress and this restaurant try to ripped me OFF !!!!!!

  • Pros: I don't think they have.
  • Cons: Ten thumbs DOWN!!!!!!!!!

One of My New "Go To" Thai Restaurants

by huhnchen at Citysearch

Three friends and I stopped at Lemongrass after glowing reviews from some people I know who have eaten at Lemongrass. We visited the restaurant around 8:30PM on Saturday and we were seated right away. Between the four of us, we ordered the Pad Thai, the Eggplant with Prawns and Scallops, the Curry Soup, and the Asparagus Lovers special [$12.95]. All of the dishes were very fresh, colorful, and ranged from $5 to $7. The best part of the dining experience was sitting next to three guys were trying to sober up after an early night of getting sh*t-faced. One of them who had ordered the Eggplant with Prawns and Scallops commented that the eggplant could have been substitued with bok choy. My friends and I laughed in his face like The Plastics from Mean Girls.

Great Thai Experience

by kimondavid at Citysearch

From the very start of the appetizer platter special with all home made sauces, no packets of duck sauce here to the special Chicken Savory which is the best Thai dish I have ever tasted it was a totally enjoyable experience. Loi is an excellent Chef to be recognized and appreciated.

  • Pros: Home made sauces, appetizer platter, Chicken Savory
  • Cons: Absolutely none...
