We wandered over to check this place out, heard it was similar to Pad Thai Garden. We have missed them SO much so decided to make the drive... We walked in and noticed all tables were full-always a good sign. Decided we would get ours to go. Ordered Pad Thai (1 *) with chicken, drunken noodles (2*) and a veggie delight. The pad Thai was good, not great. It wasn't bad, it just didn't have much of whatever that Thai umami flavor is that I'm obsessed with. 3/5 stars. The drunken noodles were my favorite and surprisingly so, it was a last minute choice to add on. I'd drive there again for these alone 5/5. The veggie delight (ordered 2 *) was also spicy and flavorful. We should have tried an appetizer and probably will next time. I'm not sure I'd make it a frequent destination at 25 min each way, but if you're around it's absolutely worth stopping in :) It's a solid Thai place and I'm glad the people in the area have a good option!

It's very hot inside. They did not even turn on the air conditioning. Food is okay. They are adding spice with crushed red pepper instead of the actual powers.

Have loved this place since it was in West Des Moines. Pho, spicy garlic noodles, crab rangood, everything I have tried I quite enjoy. They have changed to new potstickers for some reason, and they are horrible. When we went they had recently lost their liquor license, so be prepared to drink soda or waterParking: Not many spots but not a huge issueWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible

Wow! What a great find! We had the Seafood Soup and the Triple Delight. Both were amazing—the best we’ve had. Bravo, Lemon Grass!

A beautiful cozy change of pace in this small town. Not the typical Asian restaurant menu you're used to seeing. The chef does an awesome job in the meticulously selected items. It's great for a date night or if you'd like a quieter place to dine

Amazed how good the food was. We had been wanting to eat here, but found out it was closed on Saturdays. We finally were able to schedule a Friday night, and it was well worth it. Charming and quaint.. wonderful service and delicious dishes!

Food was great but my order was messed up twice. I also had things missing from my togo order once. Don't call in to place your order ahead of time, go in so that you can point to the numbers on the menu to dine in or carry out.
Best Thai food in central Iowa! Great food. Great service! Carry out or eat in. We're lucky to have this restaurant in Adel.

My wife & I love Lemon Grass! We are more than willing to make the drive from Des Moines to Adel - its that good. We've tried a wide variety of their menu's offering, and never been disappointed.

Staff is extremely friendly every time I visit. The restaurant has a very casual atmosphere with nice decorations and overall good vibes. The food is always of high quality and tastes great every time. Only issue I've encountered was only receiving 4 potstickers when 6 were ordered (takeout and didn't notice until arriving at home), but every other positive experience makes up for this.

Absolutely love the food here. I'm from CA and enjoyed everything we tried. Be back next year when I'm back visiting family.
Very good food!
