The food was tasty, plate presentation was nice and most importantly, the menu items were affordable. The staff were super nice. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing until someone started smoking somewhere around and ruined it for me. They may need to set up a non-smoking area.
Finally found the best Thai Food in Victoria. Made a reservation for 4:15 to avoid the dinner rush. Service was top notch and the the food did not disappoint. From the first sip of my Tom Ka Gai soup I knew I had finally found the quality authentic Thai I have been looking for. I’ll be back with more friends next time.

We came on a Thursday at around 4:00 pm. I had read multiple reviews where they said the service was slow etc. So I had prepared myself in advance for this and to my surprise it was not slow at all. But that's probably because the restaurant was empty at 4 and there was no one here but us. The food came out really fast and the servers were really attentive. They gave out new plates for appetizers, mains and desserts. They weren't over bearing but when asking for the bill and to order it might be a bit difficult depending on where you are sitting in the restaurant but that's just my take. On to the food!
Por pia -$10 - 4 spring rolls with a sweet and sour sauce. Very crispy. Lots of cabbage inside. Not overly salty
Prawn Pad Thai - $15.50 - big portion. I liked the proportion of fresh bean sprouts and peanuts to noodles. There were around 7-8 big shrimps which was very generous for the price. The noodles were nicely cooked. A lot of places that have pad Thai always overcook their noodles and they break easily but here they are still intact long noodles. They are bouncy and have a good chew to then. Not overly sweet or salty. Nicely seasoned and not too oily.
Vegetable green curry - $14.95 - lots of veggies - green peppers, bamboo shoots, carrots etc. The curry itself was really flavourful. Hint of lemongrass. Went so well with just plain rice. I could eat lots of rice with this dish (maybe 3 bowls haha)
Drunken chicken noodles - $14.50 - big portion. Very strong basil flavour overall which I really liked. The noodles were again nicely cooked. Good amount of chicken. Would definitely order it again.
Deep fried banana with ice cream - $5.50 - not too sweet. The batter was nice and thin and crispy. Good way to end the night.
Overall I would recommend this place for Thai food. The interior feels very homey and the service is pretty good. The portions are good enough to feed a couple people and the flavours are pretty good. The prices are also reasonable for the amount of food you get.
TIP: order their drunken noodles
The food here is really great, and for me it has just the right level of heat. I also appreciate that you can get Thai beer here too.
I feel that the prices are a little inflated, and unfortunately when I came with a table of 5 of us the service was quite poor (although that's an anomaly to what I usually experience).
Amazing food! Even better service! I ordered the red curry lunch combo, extra hot. It was perfect in every way, with enough food to take for a snack later. I loved it! They gave great beer as well. The staff was super attentive, but never overwhelming. The washroom was clean. The atmosphere is inviting and the location could not be better, within walking distance of the beach. I love this place and will be back!
The menu is quite extensive and the prices are fair. The service was good but as noted in other reviews the food does take a while to get to the table so allow yourself extra time to eat. Unfortunately the soup was a little cold and came at the same time as my main meal. I suspect the soup was sitting under the warming lights for a while that’s why it was cold.
My friend and I had lunch here this week and the food was good. I had the Drunken Noodles served with chicken and my friend had the Pad Thai Noodles served with prawns. Nice atmosphere and friendly servers.

These guys are the real deal! I sat down and felt cared for. The whole meal the front of house staff were literally running back and forth to get everyone taken care of on a busy Friday night. Major props to those guys. There’s absolutely no doubt that they’re working hard. I even saw one of the servers take the time to work through a customer speaking in a language he didn’t understand. He was patient, kind and took the time to take great care of the customer despite the fact that it took him away from his duties to other customers. I have absolutely no problem waiting a few extra minutes for service like this.
The food was also fantastic. I ordered a pineapple fried rice and it was something completely new to me. The portion sizes were very generous and I left feeling the way one should feel walking out of a restaurant. Satisfied but wanting to taste more! Nowadays companies are doing everything they can to limit portion sizes and increase prices, Lemongrass did not meet this stereotype, they gave me a generous portion that left me satisfied with the price I paid. The dish also tasted absolutely amazing. 10/10 cannot wait to come back and try another dish. Bravo!
Very good! Their noodle dishes are very nice. Right amount of sauce. Try their papaya salad too! Cool inside and clean. Kind servers.
The staff were so helpful and provided kid plates and cups. The food was fast and the ambiance was great. The portions might have been a little small but otherwise it was excellent!
