Mediocre Thai/Indonesian/Chinese/Japanese place. Chicken Satay = pass Spring Rolls = generic spring roll Krab Rangoon = OK Pork steamed dumplings = best thing we had there so we doubled-up Thai tea = good not great Beer selection was limited but prices were adequate, Sapparo was $4. Overall this is just a generic Asian restaurant that you will not leave impressed or disappointed.

We happened upon this restaurant while searching for something else. It was the highlight of our vacation to St Pete's beach! We tried many different dishes (tapas style). The tuna and salmon sushi were so incredibly fresh they seemed to melt in our mouths. The seaweed salad was amazing. Our server was great and kept a perfect pace with our flow of tapas style sushi, sashimi, and rolls. We can't wait to visit again!

Middle of the road thai food. Dumplings are the frozen ones in bags, sauce is out of a can, spring rolls not enough shrimp and the saba sushi texture and taste was off. It's a solid middle of the road try to be everything but nothing excellent restaurant.
(3)Conner S.
I think this place is a little underrated on Yelp. Although I only tried the sushi, everything was really good. I saw several people criticizing the prices, but they failed to mention that the sushi rolled are absolutely enormous. My wife and I easily polish off 3 rolls with an appetizer at the typical sushi spots. Here, we didn't stand a chance. Each roll was 12 pieces instead of the standard 8. You also have the option of ordering half rolls, which I've never seen before. I would recommend this restaurant for sushi, just order conservatively or your stomach and wallet will regret it.
(4)Maryann B.
Service good. Good good and we all ordered very different things. Prices reasonable. Service good. Didn't have to wait long.
(4)Keri G.
Definitely building an affinity for this place. I have been getting the Pad Kee Mao which is a noodle dish that normally is spicy. On this visit, it is lacking in spice (quite mild), but still fresh and delish. I love their Thai Tea here, it is served in a mug with ice chips so it's almost like frozen. Nice presentation of the food, just slow service, especially if you sit outside. They are nice people, but they need to give a little more attention to the tables. I will be back whenever I am in town, just so long as I am not in a rush.
(4)R R.
Another 5 star worthy review. This place is a total gem. It's a little pricey (compared to other similar restaurants) but totally worth it in my book. The food is amazing and the portions are generous. The volcano roll is the best I've had, and I've tried many a volcano rolls in my day. The first time you see it you might be a little suspicious bc they don't present it in the typical pile of goodness but omg every bite is a pile of goodness in itself. You won't regret it. Order the volcano. I've ordered a bunch of other dishes here (and they're all delicious -- they're crazy consistent across the board) but definitely order the volcano. They've also got some great lunch specials so if you're in the area before 230 pm on weekdays definitely give this place a try.
(5)Berit M.
I LOVE their sushi and thai dishes. First time I got the Weezer roll (so YUM) and the Thai Chicken Basil (perfectly prepared here). I can't wait to go back and try more. The service was super attentive -- we both got really spicy dishes but we always had enough water. Its in an great location in downtown St. Pete too so you can always go early or stick around for a bit and take a walk around. Wins all around!

I visited here with some of my family and we love all things Thai and sushi so we were pretty excited to give it a try. We visited late on a Sunday evening and the service was a bit slow at first but after the other tables left it was much quicker. I started off with Tom kha gai, aka coconut chicken soup. It had a nice mix of sweet and spicy, very tasty. Also had edamame and la Bamba sushi in a cone style. I've never heard of the sushi cone so I was interested to try it. Overall flavor was good but I didn't like the fact that the seaweed paper is outside of the rice and it was a bit difficult to eat. I tried a few of the rolls that my family ordered as well, including Weezer (yum!) and big daddy. Also had a very unique cucumber wrapped roll with no rice for no carb dieters. It was unlike any roll I've ever had, very crispy and fresh. I don't personally eat sashimi but they ordered an impressive looking sashimi combo dish and said it was fantastic. We ordered so much food the server kept looking at us like we were crazy, it was pretty funny to see the look on her face when we literally ate everything. I really liked the decor and feel inside the restaurant and there is also outdoor tables if you are brave enough to dine outside on the street at night in st Pete. Will be back again without a doubt
(4)Ilana R.
Absolutely fabulous food all around but my fave is the original Thai Pho soup: Beef with rice noodles! Haven't found this quality even in New York. Staff is very friendly, professional and attentive. For desert: Thai Donuts, very lightweight and soo tasty!
(5)Sonia O.
We came here last night. I think the food was great. I had the Tom Khai Gai soup (chicken coconut milk). I thought it wasn't going to be enough so I also ordered a California roll. The soup was delicious and very filling. The California roll had too much rice and cucumber. About double the rice you normally expect in a sushi roll and huge chunks of cucumber. It felt like they were trying to save money on the avocado and crab. Overall, the service was very good and our meal was tasty. Between the two of us we spent about $30.
(5)Monika B.
I love Thai food, but if I start going to this place, I will start loosing my Thai taste buds. Chicken was too chewy in all the three dishes that we ordered, veggies were thickly chopped. Overall, the love for cooking was missing :(. Just another place.
(1)Sandra E.
Nom nom nom!!!!! You simply cannot beat a lunch here, not only the price but the quality & taste. None of that excessively greasy stuff. That you get at Chinese food places. This Thai is just amazing. And the QUANTITY a of food you get!! Lunch specials are 7.99 and you get a delicious meal with brown or white rice --plus a potsticker and a spring roll, plus a choice of soup or salad. The salad has an out-of-this-world dressing on it-- I can't even describe its freshness and flavor!!! And the salad has such nice touches with a little bit of apple and strawberry and grape pieces in it. The spring roll and potsticker are great to further hold you over until the meal arrives just a few minutes later. I ALWAYS get the peanut sauce special with chicken and I get a mix of vegetables that I think is ideal: broccoli carrots snap peas and baby corn. I can never finish the whole thing and end up saving a little for a snack later. Every time that anyone wants to go out to lunch I always suggest this place....can't help myself.
(5)Toni F.
Try the happy hour tapas (4-6) menu! $4.00 hot plates and basic sushi rolls! We usually dine in early evening, attentive service, nice vibe. Sushi has always been super fresh and beautifully presented. Spicy tuna salad served Icey cold, with VERY generous portion of tuna(mayo free) Lemongrass sashimi served with a nice fresh assortment of fish Pad Thai outstanding!
(4)Ryan Z.
There's a million thai restaurants in St. Pete and this place is no different. Nothing really special here - the sushi, soup, food, service are all very mediocre, so if you're fine with mediocrity and being a-ok about your food. come here. Otherwise, I suggest Bangkok as a better alternative.
(3)Marco D.
very rude staff. Here for a business trip and very few places are open at 9pm. Their open sign was on and their restaurant was packed. I walked in and they started yelling closed closed! When I asked for suggestions they shood me away. I asked to use their rest room and they said it was for customers only. Here for a week and will never come back. Poor way to operate a business.
(1)Day W.
Phone line is out of service. Very busy at lunch. 20 min. wait on to-go order. Spicy basil fried rice was very oily. Didn't taste any basil. Tasted like regular fried rice. Just very oily. One eggroll that came with meal was tiny but very good. Gyoza was dry. Buddha Delight looks like any stir-fried veg dish. They'll have to do better to remain in business for long.
(2)Missy V.
The food came out fast and the curry was good but nothing special about the sushi. The service was slow because all the workers were on their phones, took 15 minutes to take our drink order.
(2)J P.
Nice. Good. Nice waiters. Attentive. Accommodating. Curry dishes are spot on & well presented. As good as you'll find anywhere else. Not an uber cheap place, but appropriately priced. Good ambiance. Thank you.
(4)Taylor W.
This was our second time coming here and this time we got carry out. The first time we dined in and we were all the way in the back which is nice and intimate but damn I can't even get a refill of lemon water!! Only problem with the seating! The food was worth the wait and a nice suprise! I got the toasted bagel and spicy tuna rolls and my boyfriend got like a 16 pc sashimi! hold on to your seat!!!For desert we got the deep fried cheesecake which was all done up with ice cream. Whipped cream and sprinkles! Boy was I in heaven and was happy to try something new. Now when we just ordered out I got the LemonGrass roll and before I had ordered I had called and asked how many pieces come in that and they told me 8. Well when I got home and looked there was only 6! Now I know they said 8 so I called them back and asked about it. The woment got on the phone and had told me "there are 2 different chefs there and one guy cuts them small (8) and one guy cuts them larger (6)." So I had told her that I didn't like being told one thing and being given another and not having a chef being consistant to how the food is supposed to be made. If they say 8 and I'm getting 6 pieces and paying $14 they better put the all the damn rolls in my order... Basil Chicken fried rice with extra eggs is delicious too :) Other than having terribly faulty chopstick and missing rolls I'll be sure to return!
(3)sean h.
Have no complaints. Service was fast and very nice. Sushi very good and presented well. Average prices. All in all very good. I am sure I will return
(4)Sofia M.
Happy to have tried it! My husband and I wanted to try something new today , I'm glad we did. Both enjoyed the food and service. We shared the seafood ceviche, which was a great fusion of Latin and Asian flavors, but be prepared to sweat it was pretty spicy but totally worth it! We then had the Big Daddy roll and the volcano roll. Both really good. I like how different restaurants put their own touch on creating rolls, in this case the volcano roll. Big daddy was also really good but I've had comparable rolls elsewhere that were fresher. Will come back, great selection
(4)Tanichee C.
Whoo hoo!! The service has made a complete 180! Now they have awesome service to match the amazing menu! We finally tried the entrees and the Orange Chicken is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
(5)Happiness L.
I went to the Lemon Grass a few months ago. They sure do have a big crowd on hand during the week from nearby businesses. This restaurant is not clean. What I mean by that is the condiments that they bring to the table are overly crusted over from constant use over the course of time by many people without being cleaned. It was very gross. Also the food was ok yet not good enough to overlook the yucky condiment tray. I asked for another one that was clean yet pretty much they all have the same problem. If that is an issue I can only naturally suspect the rest of the place isn't as clean as it should be. The staff is very friendly. Perhaps they can clean up and I will come next year?
(2)Cecile C.
Lemon grass has phenomenal duck curry and amazing alternative tataki. Great service as well.
(5)Brett R.
Cool new place for Asian food in Downtown St. Pete. I went with the Pad Thai, which is typical for me when going to restaurant for the first time, I mean, if you don't do Pad Thai well as an Asian restaurant, well.... Fortunately, the Pad Thai was very good. I wish I had asked for a little more heat in mine, but that's not the Chef's fault. Wifey and a friend had noodles and sushi with a friend. Both dishes were well presented, but again we would have liked a little more flavor in the form of spice. The clientele was young adult and the place was hopping on a Friday night. There were a lot of really beautiful sushi dishes being pumped out by the chefs, but surprisingly we didn't have to wait too long for our meals. We will definitely be more aggressive with our seasoning requests on our next visit, but we really enjoyed the food, the decor, and the ambiance - even the champagne room glow of the pink neon!
(4)Rachel A.
So we walked into this place on a Thursday night. We waited for a good 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and finally seat us. However, we didn't get menus so we got up and helped ourselves. For apps, we ordered crab Rangoon wontons for the table and it was ok. About on the same level as other restaurants. I ordered a dynamite come and I thought it was such a cute presentation!! And I ate it like an ice cream cone with no spillage or falling apart, very creative! And the roll was delicious! I wasn't that hungry so I ordered the Tom Kha Gai soup. It had several pieces of chicken in it as well as mushrooms to make it hearty. It was packed with flavor and had a kick to it! Overall I would come back for the food but customer service is definitely not their strong point!
(3)Danesh J.
A place for pad thai that is pretty delicious. Staff is nice and thai ice tea is perfect. And there is outdoor seating so you can bring your dog friends too.
(4)Amy S.
really good! Sushi is great and you get a lot!!! One roll is like 16 pieces!!!! The shrimp fried rice was okay at mild... I recommend asking to make it med hot, so you get some thai flavor in it, but overall really great! Thai coffee is amazing and they have crushed ice!!!
(4)Michael Z.
Generous portions of sushi in a great, downtown location. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Will definitely be back.
(4)Ian L.
Poor service and pedestrian food. Received menus and drinks before a high chair despite asking for one first thing and obviously transporting a toddler. Sushi was bland and warm and yaki soba reminded me of homemade stir fry with ramen noodles. Canned mini corns and frozen snap peas in a $13 entree?! Ordered pork but got chicken, food took so long I just ate it. Their take on orange chicken was tasty, highlight of an overpriced, mediocre meal.
(2)Marvin Z.
Our food was delicious. We had the baby octopus and the spicy tuna appetizer. I got the Pink Floyd which was absolutely fantastic. My friend had the volcano roll which was amazing according to her. I would recommend this. This wasn't as amazing as other places but it was still good.
(4)Laura R.
For an inexpensive and relaxing meal downtown, the Lemon Grass restaurant is a good choice. The food we've ordered, whether it be Thai curry, spring rolls, Pad Thai, sushi or sashimi, has been fresh, tasty and beautifully presented - all for a reasonable price. The only misstep we saw with the food was the salad with ginger dressing - it was extremely overdressed and a bit too sweet for my taste. While their service was on the slow side the last time we went, they made up for it with their courtesy and a couple of free sides. The premises always seem clean, their downtown location is convenient, and the staff is friendly. They can be a bit busy on a Friday night, however, and their clientele trends toward the younger side.
(3)Timothy O.
Went early Saturday October 12. Love love love Sushi, so was excited. Arrival: Not greeted timely. Actually stood at the entrance with no one ahead of me for more than 5 minutes and even made eye contact with Hostess multiple times. They did have a 2 large tables but it was Gallery Night. Should have prepared for that. Appetizer: Krab Rangoon. Not flavor full. Missed the Beat. Main Sushi Rolls: Volcano (no eruption), Lobster Salad Roll. Plus was the rolls were big, i just wish the flavor was there. Sorry Lemon Grass, I really wanted to love your sushi!
(2)Andrea F.
This place is great! I loved the food, the location, but I didn't give it 5 stars because they need to put a sign outside that you have to wait to be seated or to see the hostess or something. Other than that it was great and I will come back :)
(4)Jeremy L.
This is definetly my new sushi restaurant. Fast service, large portion, and polite staff. Very welcoming environment. They have their stuff together. We had saki, and the Duet. The portions were huge! Great deal for the money.
(5)Dylan R.
The Fish Balls were like chewing on rubber balls. Please take them off the menu. Massaman curry was excellent. Gyoza was good. A bunch of fruit flies were swarming us which would be okay if we were outside but this was inside the restaurant. I still feel itchy.
(2)Patrick ..
would not recommended. the people who sat down next to us left before ordering and I wish we had done the same. service was mostly absent and apathetic. drinks took ten minutes, one was forgotten. apps and entrees served out of order. garlic beef was tough, covered in watery sauce, and not garlicky. reminiscient of bad take out Chinese. spring rolls were very bland. house salad was a pile of ice berg lettuce drowned in a strange chunky orange sauce. edamame was half cold, half warm. the 'tapas' section of the menu was just cold Japanese salads. the rolls were OK but over priced. beer selection was sad. bad 80's music was played all night.
(1)Christopher N.
Just ok! Nothing really special here. Bangkok Thai and the Queen And I on central ave are much better than this place. Pad Thai didn't have much flavor to it. Lunch was kind of expensive. The service was ok,but that's really the only good thing.
(2)Karrin P.
The sushi here is ok but the service is sub par at best. I was essentially ignored for about 5 minutes when there were tons of open tables and someone sitting at the front gabbing on the phone. I was hungry so I stuck around and reluctantly sat down. The food is ok and the selection is good. The atmosphere is lively but the there is certain hospitality that is seriously lacking here.
(2)Jessica S.
We love this place! We usually go for lunch. They have fantastic lunch specials. During the week I try to only eat vegan and they can make all sorts of things vegan for me. I love the panang curry, fried rice, spring rolls and rice noodle wraps. Their peanut sauce is to die for. My wife loves the fried chicken. It has a panko crust so it's very crispy. The ginger salad dressing is divine. The service is friendly and always willing to accommodate special requests. Also had the fried banana dessert one day during dinner. Been thinking about it ever since! Lol
(5)Stuart F.
This place was terrific. I was looking for a place to eat on Christmas, and almost nowhere was open. Mostly it was places that had expensive fixed menu and taking advantage of the lack of choice available to consumers. Lemon Grass, however, was open and took our quite large reservation. Everyone in our group loved the restaurant and loved the food. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable, and they have a great selection to choose from. I will definitely be back, and keep them in mind for Christmas next year since it was a crowd favorite!
(5)John G.
A terrific new place. We went into St Pete for First Night and stopped for dinner. We started with Gyoza that was steamed. Then we had crunchy spicy tuna roll and Paul roll. It had tuna, salmon and eel. Dessert was fried ice cream. Service was great too.
(4)Keith B.
Tasty Thai & Savory Sushi There's a lot of competition for your sushi cravings in downtown St Petersburg. This is an excellent choice. The restaurant is comfortable and pleasantly decorated. Service is friendly and helpful and able to make useful suggestions from a very large menu. The Tom Kha Gai soup was very good. Then came a variety of sushi rolls. The Lemon Grass Special roll is especially delicious. We were able to try a variety since they have a nice option of half-rolls. It is an interesting and extensive menu and I would happily return any time
(4)Shanna D.
Had a really nice time sitting outside for dinner. We all shared each others dinner. The garden was really tasty. I had the chicken Teriyaki, good! Friend had the curry, also good! I would be back for sure.
(4)Rose S.
I ordered the chicken pad Thai lunch special with a spring roll and salad. I have to say I enjoyed the sides better than the main coarse. The dressing for the salad was the best ginger dressing I have ever had! I like that it was served with fruit. The spring roll was great! The chicken pad Thai needed more peanuts and was dripping in grease. I could not even finish. I ordered hot and did not taste any spicy flavor. If I ever decided to dine here again I would probably try the sushi.
(2)Pernille L.
This place offers great Asian foods for fair prices... We had 2 sushi rolls lunch deal and I had masamah curry - both dishes very good! Also try their chai tea :-)
(4)Laura M.
This has been by far the best Thai food that I have eaten in Downtown St. Pete. Very authentic and delicious. I have had the Pad Tai, Massman Curry Chicken and Red Curry Chicken. All were excellent. We have gone for lunch three times and received quick service and the price is unbeatable - $7.99 for lunch portion with soup or salad and a small spring roll and dumpling. For lunch service was quick, friendly and we received our food in less than ten minutes. We did go one night for dinner and service was a lot more slow. Honestly if I had not been there before a few times for lunch and knew how great the food was I would have been very annoyed and maybe even left due to the fact that no one greeted us at the door for over five minutes even though the walked by us at least ten times. Once we were seated it took about five minutes to have anyone come to our table but once our server came things were a lot better and we received our food and drinks in a timely manner. Overall, I would recommend this place because of the quality of this food. I would just go in with an expectation of slower service at night because it seems that the place is al little understaffed on the server side of things.
(4)Katie M.
Heard great things about this new addition to own town St. Pete so decided to try it out when a craving for sushi hit. We started with a few apps, which weren't anything special. Tempura crab and fried pork wontons. The crab tasted weird to me and the wontons could have used more filling. But the main event (the sushi) was the best sushi I've had in St. Pete. VERY fresh tasting and lots of unique rolls to choose from. Can't wait to return and try the Thai dishes! Service was great...our waitress was very nice. Space is small but comfortable.
(4)Tammy O.
VERY FRIENDLY AND GENEROUS PORTIONS FOR EXCELLENT, FRESH SUSHI! I eat a lot of sushi between California and Florida and this is one of my top 5. They have excellent Thai food as well one of the freshest sushi. The manager and her wait-staff are friendly and smart. They gave us a free saki for the delay in our order and are attentive. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. I've been to other sushi restaurants in St. Pete and they are either too loud (obnoxious bar), poor quality or just down-right rude.
(5)Scott W.
I recommend the Weezer and the pink Floyd rolls. It's a big menu though, ask the server what's good. They won't steer you wrong. We ordered some other rolls on our own they weren't anything special.
(4)Brittni C.
Their sushi is the best in downtown St. Petersburg. The Red Hot Chili Pepper roll is my go to, also a huge fan of their Sublime roll as well. All their ingredients are very fresh, you really can't go wrong with any roll on their menu.
(5)Bruce M.
Well, as usual we were undecided on where to go for dinner last night. We wanted to try a new place and so we Yelped sushi and found The Lemon Grass which for us would be a new place to try. Majority of the reviews were positive so we went with the majority. Being a Saturday night around 7:30 the place was somewhat busy, most were sitting outside since the weather was perfect. We were greeted almost immediately and seated at a booth next to the street so we could people watch while enjoying our dinner. Waitress was attentive and took our drink orders right away giving us a few minutes to peruse an unfamiliar menu. The menu is nice and simple and prices are reasonable. We were not real hungry so we opted for soup, tapa's and sushi. I ordered the Fish soup, wife had the Krab soup (yes, that's with a K) and then we ordered the Tempura taps (shrimp and veggies) along with a weezer role and one other sashimi roll. My fish soup was some of the best I had every tasted, the broth was smooth and not over fishy even though there were generous portions of white fish in it. My wife's soup was equally delicious with a nice balance of flavors. The Tempura Tapa's was awesome. The batter was not over bearing, perfectly lite where you could still identify what you were eating and the sauce was yummy, wish I had more of it...:) Our sushi rolls were amazing, some of the freshest we've eaten in this area and rolled tight too. If I had one negative on this place is that the wait staff was a bit slow with keeping up with us, drink glasses sat empty to long and no once came by to see if the food was done right even though it was. Overall experience is till good and we will be back. Pricing is just right for this style of food and comparable to other Thai/Sushi places in the area. Place appears very clean and nicely decorated even for being a small restaurant it still feel airy and open.
(4)Layla M.
Went there on a Friday night at about 8.30, it was bustling, and there was a flight wait for table. Pros: - Friendly service, though a bit slow. - the outside seating looks nice, despite the noise. - The massaman curry with duck is DIVINE, creamy, flavorful, duck is crunchy and the combination in your mouth is something else. Cons: - the entrance doesn't have much room for more than 2 people to wait without being in the way or standing next to another table. - We unfortunately sat close to a party of about 10 young rowdy people, pretty annoying A nice enough restaurant that I'll return to.
(3)Chi P.
Both times we've been here, the food has been so flavorful and service has been great. So far, our favorite Thai in the Tampa bay area.
(4)Signor S.
The green curry is excellent, as well as the chicken teriyaki. Waitstaff was friendly and prompt. The prices were lower than average for the area. Definitely will return!
(4)Marie C.
Thoroughly decent Thai food, with lackluster service. Seemed a bit short staffed for a Saturday night. Still tasty, and the food oops was eventually addressed with finesse and friendliness.
(3)Allison A.
Excellent Thai food! I had the panang curry with chicken and it was just perfect. Add to that a creamy Thai iced tea and I'm in love!
(4)Janna R.
Sushi is amazing and for those who do not enjoy sushi there are other options that are very tasty. My favorites were pink Floyd and red hot chili pepper.
(5)Ashley B.
The food was amazing. I am not a lobster fan, but we had the Rock N Roll and ohmylord it was awesome.
(5)Adam E.
First time and definitely pleased. Sushi is pricey but the rolls are larger than most places and very good. Service was average. I'll be back to give it another go for sure.
(4)Jack K.
While the food was fine, the timeliness of the food delivery was about the worst I've ever seen. And I've travelled extensively all over the world. I ordered a bowl of soup and a half a sushi roll at the same time. They came an hour apart. When I told my server to forgot the roll and bring me the check, the roll miraculously appeared. The manager was completely unapologetic, and felt the service was normal. Not so much as a free beer for the wait. They simply don't care.
(1)maria w.
We've been here twice - about 2 months ago and again this evening. Super fresh ingredients. I like that you can order 1/2 rolls of signature sushi and hot and cold Asian tapas. Tried pork dumplings, tempura, red curry, Pad Thai, chicken fried rice and all were yummy. We had great service for dinner and ate outside both times. I know lunch is very busy! Four of us ate for $75 (no cocktails) and left satisfied.
(4)S G.
What a great new-ish restaurant. Food is beautifully prepared, and delicious. Prices are very reasonable. Service was prompt and polite. My mom enjoyed it so, she took her friends the following week and then raved anout the soft shelled crab. Will be back soon!
(4)Nicole S.
STAY CLEAR. This was by far the worst sushi I have ever had, atop of a horrible dining experience overall. The server had to be hunted down to take our order as well as bring our check, and pretty much we were forgotten about in between. The sushi had absolutely no flavor, the rice was hard and not sticky like it should be, the fish had no taste, (and I highly doubt was fresh), the rolls were cut all unevenly, and half of one of my rolls was missing the avocado. If by chance you dare to try this place, do know that these rolls are large. You really only need half orders. But be warned, you will not feel as if you've even eating anything that was actually edible or enjoyable. I would not even give this place a single star if I had a choice, but, alas, you have to in order to post a review.
(1)Alan M.
Great food ! Clean friendly and cheap!!!!!
(5)Lady F.
The sushi is great and the rolls are HUGE. Really you only need one or two if you're very hungry. Affordable and good!
(5)Alisha E.
Great place for lunch or dinner. I've been a couple times, both during the week for lunch and on the weekends for dinner and service is usually a bit slow but that would be my only complaint. The sushi is delicious and you receive a large portion for your money- same as the Thai curry. I've never had anything I didn't like and I usually leave with left overs. The restaurant is clean, the patio is well maintained, and the employees are always friendly. I'd recommend it to anyone unless you need something speedy for lunch.
(4)Makenna M.
I was a little skeptical that a restaurant offering both thai and sushi could do both well. However, I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food! I was with a large group and we all ordered different dishes to share. We had green curry, panang curry, beef & broccoli, Pad keep mao noodles, and two sushi rolls (Weezer Roll and Ebony & Ivory Roll). The sushi was very good, but I have to say the thai food was slightly better. Everyone's favorite was the pad kee mao noodles, I would definitely order it again! The curry was also great.
(5)Christian M.
If you decide to set up shop in DTSP you should aspire beyond decent mediocrity. Having several excellent options in surrounding area I finally decided to give this a try. Location is great, too great where parking can be frustrating but the overall appearance is not bad. They asked if we wanted to sit outside and I could only look to the outside flooring akin to a gas station that was a mixture of dirt, oil, and exhaust. Hire a pressure washer and do everyone a favor. Service was mediocre. Young server would not accept my request to mix the noodles of my pad Thai with a side of brown rice. He insisted I mix it myself and when the pad Thai finally came out it had a suspect flavor and maybe finished 8 bites before I lost interest. Started with crab Rangoon and sprig rolls...what can I say about those except they were excellent, but so are the ones at every other fast food Chinese take out. What got me was the Magic Dragon Roll. Guess I am spoiled but for the price I expect not only a great presentation but great roll. Too me it felt like they were not even trying or didn't care much. I had heard few people talk this place up but for the price I have too many other options that are always spot on.

I'm a little obsessed with Asian food in general, I eat it at least twice a week. Sushi is what lead me into more Asian food, so I have some serious love for it. This place is becoming one of my new favorite sushi spots. The portions are larger than I expected, and we accidentally ordered wayyyyy too much. We had to call a friend to come and help us finish, and we still had a full to-go box. We ordered the spring rolls (which were okay) and the shrimp tempura (which wasn't the best, wasn't the worse I've ever had). We both said we wished we would have skipped these since we couldn't finish the sushi, which was the star of the evening. I ordered the tom kha gai soup and I will order it again ASAP. The flavors were perfect, and the fresh tomato thrown in before serving (vs cooking it in the soup) was perfect. It reminded me of a curry flavor, which was what I was going to order for my entree but the sushi looked too good. We ordered 5 rolls total. The Red hot chilli pepper (my boyfriends fav), big bopper (My fav), spicy tuna, the lemon grass signature roll, and the big daddy. All of them will be ordered again, but I don't see me rushing out for the lemon grass signature. (It didn't taste bad, it just wasn't my personal favorite blend of flavors.) The sushi came out fast and the portions of fish in each roll were larger than I expected. Our server was attentive, and helped me remember which Asian beer was my favorite (they have at least 5 or 6). He recommended the big bopper and big daddy roll, and we were very happy with everything.

Nice quality thai food choices. When I'm really hungry I order their lunchbox special which comes with salad, potstickers, rice or veggies, sushi and a curry or lunch menu item. I love the fact that this place plays old 1990s R&B hits! Yes, this place always has a good vibe going with their background funk! (Mariah, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, usher...) Green, red and panang curry - always delicious. :-) Rice, ginger salad, pot stickers, everything.

Absolute perfection! Each meal is decadent to the eye and a gift to the tongue."Art"- a server there always sets the ambiance with the best music playlists!!! A.J. Will never let your glass go half empty, as he always provides excellent customer service, and greets by name. If you'd like to just stop in for a drink and sushi, sitting at the sushi bar is always a treat. Throughout the years, they have continued to keep cleanliness, quality, and presentation at a high, all while keeping prices low! The Lemongrass is my #1 recommendation for Thai cuisine.

I come here for lunch often. One of the best sit down lunch specials downtown. Typically, I will order either one of the four curry choices, or mix it up with the pick 2 sushi roll combo. Good atmosphere, and typically great service. I recommend this place often :)

Great service Good food Convenient location, especially when you're downtown. This was my first time here and my red curry had some much flavor and was full of vegetables I will definitly be back. Everyone at our table had a great meal and had enough to take leftovers home. Delicious!

This place is awesome! Great sushi ! The volcano roll taste amazing, it's my favorite. The peach sake is also great although the bottle is tiny. The bathrooms are clean, they are willing to change the television to whatever game you want to watch, and the waitress was Attentive. The downside is this place is pretty expensive and your bill can add up pretty quickly.

The sushi rolls were huge and delicious. I posted a picture. I would suggest sitting at the bar or outside. We had slow service for the two of us.

This is my second time here, and I do think it will be my last. The food is alright, but nothing I would go out of my way for. Apparently, this place does not have, and the waitress gave us the strangest look when we asked for fish sauce. I do not believe fish sauce is an uncommon request in a Thai restaurant? Well, it is. Not only do they not have fish sauce, they did not know what it was. We were told this is a "Thai Fusion" restaurant, so there is no fish sauce. We went on a Monday, around 3:00pm. The restaurant was NOT busy at all, yet our waitress was very slow, and eventually stopped showing up. We had to go inside and ask another server to bring us boxes and our bill, as we had already waited a good 20 minutes. The food is alright, the location is nice, but the overall experience was not awesome. Maybe we just caught them at bad times both times we went here.

Good sushi, good crab rangoons, nice looking menu, typo x2 (fired rice), slow service, really bad old school love songs. I had to ask for soy sauce. Granted they just opened last week so I'm sure they will get their act together.
