Lemongrass is the only Thai spot in moss landing, and it's arguably okay. I got the Tom kha and my friend got the pad Thai. The pad Thai was much better, while the tom kha was thin and bland. Next time I will probably make the drive to Soquel or pacific grove for better food.

Excellent service, the ambiance was very cozy and comfortable. We were immediately greeted and tended to graciously. The water they served us tasted great. We had Fish & Chips and Tom Kha soup (special order). Be mindful they include tomatoes in the soup. I added my own flare to it by adding noodles and carrot decorations from my boyfriend's plate (as shown in the photo). Our food was served hot, had a rich flavor, and the tofu and mushrooms in the soup were firm and also had nice flavor. Very filling! The fish and chips were delicious and the salad had a sweet dressing that added a nice touch (I ended up sneaking a piece of fish off his plate too it was so good!). Thanks guys! We'll be back to try more menu items.

Yes yes yes!!!!! On my way back to Fresno I searched restaurants on my route. The name is what got me! I love lemongrass! I was worried about the location and possibly not getting authentic taste but boy was I off! The taste were all there!! And the spice was perfect! We got the Drunken Noodle, Nam Nuah, Penang curry, and fried tofu. I didn’t get a picture of the Nam Nuah we dug right in to that! The meat was so tender and cut perfect. The Drunken noodle was so good perfect balance of flavors spicy, savory, hint of sweetness. Penang had a kick to it but so enjoyable! Crispy tofu was a typical fried tofu I think the cut was the only thing that made it different. (Triangles) I liked the patio space too, saw it on my way to the bathroom. The service was great, friendly and quick! Highly recommend!!! Go go go!

We got takeout and we were pleasantly surprised! * Everything was packed well * We thought the prices were reasonable * The chicken pad thai was a little ketchup-y, but not in a bad way at all! I just thought I'd warn folks since it's a little different. My sister and I like ketchup so we liked it. * We also got the drunken noodles, pad see ew, panang curry, and spicy red curry with seafood. Everything was solid! Good portion size. I'd be up for eating at the restaurant someday!

This is my favorite Thai food restaurant! I crave this when I am out of town. I love their fresh rolls and peanut sauce. Their curries are amazing too! I recommend this place to a lot of people. If you don't think you like Thai food, try this place out! Even cold leftovers are delicious! Great atmosphere too. Thank you Lemongrass!

This restaurant is delightful. The food is fresh and delicious. A cozy little spot in what seems like a ghost town.

Had lunch at Lemon Grass Thai Restaurant in Moss Landing yesterday. My 3rd time having lunch there. If you like Thai food, curry, stir fry dishes, yummy food, give it a try. You won't be disappointed. The dishes I've tried are excellent. Their chow mein noodles with fresh vegetables and your choice of protein is so good. I had the yellow curry with vegetables, chicken and rice, with the most yummy curry sauce ever. My friends had the Pumpkin Curry soup with veggies, and chicken I think, and the garlic chicken stir fry. I got to try both and they were excellent. You get vegetable soup or salad with miso dressing with your meal, and it was hard choosing because they are both very good and fresh. We went before the lunch rush so it was nice! Food was really hot on such a cool rainy day. I finished my whole plate, can't wait to go back and get the Pumpkin Curry Soup!!

So glad we finally had a chance to try this place. Excellent food, service and location access. Highly recommend this place for all the above mentioned and the flavorful entrees. Tried their yellow, green curries and drunken noodles. Thai ice tea was delicious. We will definitely be visiting more often. One of the best places in the area.

The food is excellent! What an extensive menu. Fried calamari was so good. My husband loved his Tom Yum soup. I wish we lived closer we would be regulars! Service is great too. Thank you!!

This was definitely a surprise for my husband and I! We've been coming to Moss Landing for years. Other places we usually eat at were closed. So, we went to Lemongrass and it was amazing. One of the best tofu I've ever had. My husband had the fried ribs. Great drinks too! Excellent food and awesome folks working there! We'll be back!

My favorite Thai restaurant in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. Such fresh ingredients! Been coming here for years and everything has been amazing every time.

We had a great dinner at Lemongrass. Especially loved the coconut milk and vegetable soup - so delicious. The Tom Kah is the vegetarian/vegan one, as the Tom Yum is made with a shrimp bouillon. We also loved the sesame balls, it was a treat to have fresh ones, so much better than the ones you can buy at an asian supermarket that are not fresh. I had the pad thai which was standard and okay. Another stand out was the Basil Eggplant - amazingly delicious. Not sure how they prepare the eggplant but it tasted roasted and a bit smoky, really great and so was the sauce and other vegetables. For dessert we shared the mango sticky rice. The mango was good and so was the sticky rice, but the rice was in the middle and the mango placed around it in a circle with a sweet white sauce around it rather than all together. For some reason it missed the mark but was still very tasty. It's a cute place with a decent sized parking lot, there is a little bar area if you prefer to sit in the bar, but we liked sitting in the restaurant part. Excellent friendly service and nice clean bathroom made this a great place for a vegan/veggie dinner.
