Casual and vibey Thai spot with outdoor seating, overall thought the food was great! Generous portions and lots of aromatics between the curries, soups, and salads. Clams were quite spicy but everything else was relatively mild. Their fried items are perfect - crispy, light, and still juicy. Drinks were fun but a bit sweet for me. Steamed toddy palm cake is a sleeper hit dessert! Good for sharing/larger parties.

Had dinner at Lemongrass on Court St in Brooklyn with my little one. Ordered the crab fried rice—on its own it was nothing special, but once I mixed it with the sauce on the side, the flavor really came through. What worked well for me as a parent: I could scoop out a plain portion for my kid first, then mix the sauce into the rest. One dish, two ways. The clam soup was quite savory, no fishy taste, and the clams were tender. The broth had that Thai-style sourness that wakes up your appetite. The shrimp the server brought out was crispy with a creamy sweet glaze—enjoyable to eat. The short rib was tender and well seasoned. Also tried two non-alcoholic drinks—the mulberry one leaned more fruity and tart, while the rose one had a noticeable floral aroma. Neither was overly sweet; both were refreshing. Overall a comfortable meal, the kind of place I'd go back to.

This was our first time visiting with the whole family, and we had a wonderful experience! The restaurant’s lemon-themed décor creates a bright, fresh, and welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. The menu offers so many tempting choices that we honestly wanted to try everything. Our family loves Thai food, and we’ve been to many Thai restaurants over the years, but this one really stood out. Although the wait for a table was a bit long, the food arrived surprisingly quickly once we were seated. What impressed us most was the quality of the flavors. Many restaurants rely too heavily on MSG, leaving you thirsty and reaching for water afterward. Here, the seasoning was perfectly balanced and tasted natural, allowing the freshness and authenticity of the ingredients to shine through. You can tell the chef puts great care into every dish. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the overall dining experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Thai cuisine. We’ll definitely be back to explore more dishes on the menu!

I had such a great lunch at Lemongrass Brooklyn. The space is beautifully decorated and has a fun atmosphere, but it still feels relaxed and comfortable. I went during the week at lunchtime and loved how calm it was while still having a nice energy. The food completely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the Pad Thai and really appreciated that I could make it both vegan and gluten-free, which isn't always easy to find. It was absolutely delicious. I also had the alcohol-free watermelon margarita, which was so refreshing and flavorful. As someone who loves photography, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the presentation was. Everything that came to the table was colorful, vibrant, and thoughtfully plated. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind and helped us decide what to order. Overall, such a lovely experience and definitely a place I'd love to come back to. Ps. The caramelized bananas dessert is a must!!!

2 times here the food and service are consistently excellent. I had fried jumbo shrimp and spicy coconut soup as appetizer. Main entree I had tried the duck ramen and pineapple fried rice. The ramen and the soup are bit on the salty side, good if you get a cocktails/beer to balance it out. Great variety of cocktails as well. This place is a must try.
