| - We didn't really know what to expect from Lemongrass. We just wanted some Thai food and figured Lemongrass can't be that bad!
After looking through the menu, you can tell that Lemongrass isn't a true authentic Thai restaurant. There's more of a... Thai Chinese fusion going on here. Still, we were pretty damn excited since all we had for the last few meals were fast food!
+ Tom Kha Chicken - chicken, coconut, lemongrass, galangal. Solid tom kha. Not the best I've had but it's solid. We had 4 and the portion is good for a bowl of soup each! $8
+ Panang Duck - coconut red curry, duck, ground peanut, lychee. My favorite out of all the ones we tried! I think the duck is fried so it had this crunchy skin and it is very good with the red curry. No bones! VERY small portion though, and the curry is more of a paste. Lychee sits on the side. $20
+ Drunken Noodle - spicy rice noodle, prawn, scallop, squid, Thai basil. Good to share. Lots of fresh seafood. We were actually surprised by the amount of seafood! $20
+ Three Cups Chicken - bone-in chicken, ginger, basil, sesame oil, Shaoshing wine. Yes yes, I know this is not Thai, but we did want something Taiwanese for whatever reason so decided to go for it. Biggest disappointment out of all. The chicken is fried then stewed in the pot with the ingredients, but the flavors of the garlic and ginger didn't really penetrate through. Maybe I'm just a little picky since I love this dish normally :P $16
The Thai dishes we ordered were all pretty solid so definitely going that route next time. We knew it was gonna be expensive and it sorta is. $20 for the noodles and curry, $16 for the chicken, and $8 for the soup. We also ordered jasmine rice & brown rice to go with our meal and each portion was $3.
We didn't try any of the alcoholic drinks since we were still sorta recovering from the night before. Fountain drinks are at $4.50. Again, a little high but at least there is free refills!
Service was good and the decor/ambiance of the place was pretty nice.
