Mediocre food. It doesn't taste like Thai food at all.
Poor service - the waiter couldn't even recommend dishes.
I would not return. There are much better Thai restaurants at lower prices.

Passed by and got the green curry with beef for takeaway. Reached home, opened the package, and saw a whole chunk of beef clumped together. Not good. The curry was very spicy and watery, which made me wonder what this was. Thai green curry isn't supposed to be like this. First time trying this, and it will be the last.

A great spot for Halal Thai cuisine with a cozy family vibe! They even have a mini Gachapon machine
A great spot for Halal Thai cuisine with a cozy family vibe! They even have a mini Gachapon machine to entertain the kids. We visited on a weekday evening, and the place got crowded after 6:30 PM, so be sure to make a reservation before your visit.
We ordered a Weekday Set for 2, as well as a Pad Thai (grilled chicken), and a kid's meal. We upgraded the fish to Thai Lime Seabass Hot Pot, and it was absolutely fantastic! Zesty, aromatic, with just the right kick. Highly recommended!
The Pad Thai was well-balanced and satisfying, with a right touch of sweetness and wok hei.
Overall, a good spot worthy of multiple visits at affordable prices. They accept CDC vouchers too!

A Thai restaurant located within the HDB blocks. The shop is huge and can accommodate quite a number of people.
The sambal fried sea bass is great. You can happily enjoy the sambal without worrying that it might be too spicy. It goes well with the fish.
The spinach with fried bean curd is something quite rare in Thai cuisine and is good to have. However, the fried bean curd appears to be too bland. I would suggest sprinkling some salt on the bean curd before stir-frying.
The Tom Yum soup came in a metal pot, which is rather interesting. Tom Yum soup is always a comforting dish in Thai cuisine.
Overall, the dishes are cooked deliciously and it is considered cheap, on top of no GST and service charge. Will try their other dishes next time.

Very2 sedap. I took the ribeye fried rice which is 14.80 and it was worth it. A lot of food choice
Very sedap. I took the ribeye fried rice which cost $14.80 and it was worth it. There are a lot of food choices, most of which are Thai and fusion. If you don't want an individual meal or are dining with family, you can buy sets such as a huge sea bass set, Tom Yam, and much more. Quite tasty and delicious for its rather fair price. I've eaten here multiple times because it's very sedap. Also, the service is good. You just need to scan a QR code to order, and if you have trouble, the waiters can help. The waiters and chefs also cook quite fast, about 10-20 minutes, and the food arrives quickly. The atmosphere here is really relaxing because not many people go here, and even during peak hours, it's not as crowded as other restaurants, probably because it's in the heartlands. Would recommend you to try!

5th time having dinner at lemongrass. Love the ambience, not too many people, the service were aweso
This is my 5th time having dinner at Lemongrass. I love the ambience; it's not too crowded, and the service was awesome. The food was served hot and delicious. I will definitely recommend this place to my family members. The mango sticky rice was delicious too – the rice was so soft, and the creamy milk topping was just right. Overall, a great experience with reasonable prices.
