My family and I tried Café Lemontree for the first time today for lunch. We were actually the only customers for the entire morning (other than a few to go orders) until 1:30pm. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet but a tad on the dark side, with minimal lighting. We enjoyed reading the notes on the paper ‘lemons’ as well as taking a look at the knick-knacks scattered across the restaurant. The service was relatively quick and the server was very kind and respectful. As for the food we were kind of disappointed that the only lunch special was two types of ramen. Everything else on the menu was around $30. The chicken teriyaki skillet was tasty and a good portion to split between two people for lunch. The beef bulgogi skillet was a table favourite for sure, it had a ton of flavour. The spicy ramen lunch special was very spicy despite ordering ‘less spicy’. To be quite honest the noodles tasted like instant ramen as they were mushy. It’s not likely my family will come back.

The food is overpriced. I had the spicy Korean ramen which was $16. It turned out to be Shin Ramen. The noodles are typical instant noodles. The soup tastes like Shin Ramen soup. The dried veggies are just like those from the package. I found it ridiculous to pay that price to have instant noodles at a Korean restaurant. Very disappointed.

Mocha could have been hotter, but may have ruined the whipped cream, but all of it was delicious.

The food is overpriced, $29+ for a dish that only came with 6 Tokbokki. I went at night, and the dim lighting made the atmosphere feel a bit depressing. Maybe it’s better to visit in the morning just for coffee, but it’s definitely not the place to go if you’re really hungry.

CAFE LEMONTREE! What an absolute gem. The staff here are unreal friendly, attentive, just genuinely happy to see you. You walk in feeling like a customer, but two minutes later you feel like family.
But the real star? The Korean brunch. Holy hell. It’s not just food, it’s an event. You take that first bite and it’s bold, savory, spicy like a perfect symphony smacking your taste buds awake. The kimchi hits with this tangy fire, the eggs balance it all out, and every single bite feels like it was crafted with care. You don’t just eat it you experience it.
And honestly? After having this brunch, it kind of ruins all other brunches. You’ll sit there thinking, “Why even bother anywhere else? This is it. This is the mountaintop.”
Pair it with their strong coffee and suddenly you’re unstoppable, like you could wrestle a bear or run a marathon just out of pure flavor-fueled adrenaline.
Cafe Lemontree isn’t just serving meals they’re changing the way you look at mornings. Korean brunch here? Untouchable.

I ate here for the first time and their food is pretty high quality. I had the Takoyaki and Tteok-Beokki. For me, my spice tolerance is not that good with the tteok-beokki, the waitress kind suggested the next time I order it, I can adjust the spice (I grabbed the original). The atmosphere of the restaurant is so calming and quiet. The place itself is very adorable to me, with all the lemons hung around.

Luckily I live close by and this is my absolute favourite in this area. Each dish is delicious. I have been known to to take myself out for lunch, or dinner or honey cake & tea

Lemon Tree is hands down my favorite spot for bibimbap! The flavors are always fresh and perfectly balanced, and the presentation is beautiful every time. You can really tell they put care into every dish. The staff is kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and relaxing. If you’re a fan of Korean food — or just amazing food in general — you need to try this place!

We came for my mom's birthday right when they opened. Although the atmosphere and service was good, I am only giving one star because the food is extremely over priced for what you get. I ordered their Spicy Korean Ramyun and it's literally Shin Ramen Noodles - not authentic Korean at all. It was extremely disappointing, especially since we had to pay well over $150 for our group. We were also not made aware of the auto gratuity for our group of 5 prior to us eating. Overall our experience was not the best, only because the food was overpriced and the soup was not authentic. Charging $16 for ramen noodles is not okay.

If you get a chance, read some of the messages on the lemons. Super cute environment. Food is delicious. Staff was friendly. Definitely recommend.
