I totally love this spot. The service is amazing, and their Thai food is so authentic with super high-quality ingredients—you can seriously taste how fresh everything is! From the seafood they cook to the herbs and all the veggies, you can just taste the love and freshness; it's phenomenal. Plus, the staff is so friendly, and their genuine kindness keeps me and my boyfriend coming back for more! This place is one of our go-to's when we're in Livermore craving Thai food!

I ordered the lunch green curry with white rice from Lemongrass in Livermore, and this was hands down one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. The curry was unbelievably salty—so salty it was almost inedible. But the absolute worst part was the rice. The “white rice” they gave me was clearly old, dry, and chewy, like it had been sitting out for days. I literally couldn’t even eat it.
When I called the restaurant to let them know, instead of apologizing or trying to make it right, they blamed the chef for using yesterday’s rice—as if that made it any better. The lack of professionalism was shocking. If your staff admits they’re serving old food, that’s a huge problem.
I will NEVER eat here again. Completely unacceptable and incredibly disappointing.

One of THE best thai places I've been to. Great flavors, and excellent in taste. We did hop in for the lunch, starting off with fresh rolls which were pretty good with the peanut sauce. The drunken noodles were the best, had wonderful taste, not too greasy, and did come in with good quantity. Highly recommend this place and we will be back to explore other menu options.

I normally don’t leave reviews, but what happened at Lemongrass Restaurant needs to be shared. After we paid our bill (without leaving a tip), a staff member ran outside after us in public to confront us about it. It was embarrassing, unnecessary, and extremely unprofessional.
They even told us that if we weren’t going to tip, we should have ordered our food to-go instead—and they said this loudly, in front of other customers. No guest should be shamed or chased down over a tip. Tips are optional and based on service, not something that should be demanded.
The food itself was fine, but this behavior completely ruined the experience. I hope management steps in, because this was one of the most uncomfortable and disrespectful dining experiences I’ve ever had.

Thursday night dinner, party-of-5 adults, I had to drop everyone at the curb because the angle parking spots along both sides of First Street were filled. I eventually parked 2 blocks north in one of the last unmarked spaces in the gravel lot behind Stockman's Park, and walk between other business lots & buildings to get back to the restaurant. All that is offered just to inform future customers.
Lemongrass has a small sidewalk dining area that was full when we arrived, so we ate inside in a dining space that reminded me of a tavern (low ceiling, dark paneling, low light). The service was attentive but slow, with a steady stream of carryout orders being filled along with attention to other eat-in diners. The dishes we enjoyed were Crispy Spring Rolls, Chicken Satay, Tom Yum soup, Sweet & Sour Trout (Pla Sam Rod) and Special Prawn. The Pad Thai was average. Overall a good meal, and sitting outdoors would have improved it.

The garlic string beans dish is easily in my Top 5 of anywhere/anytime.
Pathetic service and very arrogant ladies who were serving food.. I wouldn’t recommend this place as there are much better Thai restaurants around Livermore and Pleasanton area!!

I’m giving one star for service due to my disappointing experience with the ladies at the front desk. They were not welcoming and came across as quite arrogant, which really affected my visit.
The food was good, but unfortunately, the poor customer service makes me hesitant to return!!

There were only 2 people taking orders and bringing out food when we visited for the first time. The greeting was not friendly. I think this is the first mistake. The food was good but the service and friendliness of this establishment was, in my opinion, below what I had expected.
