Tom ka different than what I've had in multiple other places. More like curry sauce here, (orange and spicy,) rather than mild white soup.
Gren curry was really good
Brussel sprouts needed more lime or something to brighten up the salty fried flavor

Stopping in and ordering the Thai APPETIZER PLATTER and a small bowl of Tom Yum Goong soup adding some rice noodles 🍜 for our lunch. Staffs are friendly, fast, and helpful but the food is average. The deep fried spring rolls are contained mostly vermicelli noodles which has no taste if being eaten alone; deep fried dumplings have the similar taste to the spring rolls; the BBQ curry chicken skewers are pretty bitter as being over marinated with curry. The chicken skewers should have the sweetness, the saltiness well combined with the curry taste. The Brussel sprouts are the only acceptable dish here. The Tom Yum Goong soup should have the sweetness, sourness, saltiness of the Vietnamese fish sauce, spiciness, lemon grass, and other Thai herbs within the soup. It should be served with either rice 🍚 or Vietnamese Pho noodles. For me, the food is average due to lack of delicious balance and original flavours.

Portions were huge, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was elegant! Our server was also very kind, which made the experience even better.

I ordered the Bangkok curry, it was really good, but the only downside was the eggplant. The pieces were so tiny I could barely taste them! I was actually trying to find them at first.

My sister ordered the ginger beef, but found it too sweet for her liking. She ended up enjoying my dish more! My brother got the Chiang Mai noodles, it was okay for him, though he said the flavor was a bit bland.

Still, it’s a great place to satisfy Thai food cravings. We’ll likely be back to try more dishes!

Very nice place, excellent service! Food had nothing to do with Thai food, the tom yum had a tomato paste taste, and was very salty, no lemongrass taste what so ever, and the chicken in the salad was probably done few days before.

They really need a Thai person to look at this concept.
The food was fresh and tasty but nothing really Thai.
Somebody needs to upgrade the chef.
Atmosphere, nothing Thai again, more like a pub on the sea shore.

Many of the menu items cannot be easily made vegetarian or vegan, but the staff will help find something that works. My server knew what would work off the top of her head, and made sure to check about cross-contamination. The pad thai I had was delicious and the portion was generous - I came hungry and still ended up with leftovers to eat the next day. Not a good place if you want a variety of options, but in my experience the quality of the food and the knowledge of the staff made up for it.

The portion size of the chicken pad Thai was ENORMOUS. Frankly I felt like it could easily be a sharing size portion. There was a large piling of sprouts and cilantro which isn't a problem but the dish felt a bit salty for my taste and i would have preferred more peanut sauce. Very filling and generous portion though if portion size is more important than taste.

I tried a delightful watermelon sour beer, Sour Otis from a local brewery. Perfect little summer beer.

Enjoyed their enclosed patio with strings of patio lights and windows that could stay open. Nice view of the outdoor space where a live band played and folks danced in the space :)

Had an excellent meal at Lemongrass Thai in Saint John. I ordered the Pad Thai and the Thai Brussels sprouts. Both were fantastic. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat and sweetness, and the Brussels sprouts were crispy, flavourful, and unlike anything I have had before. Great service and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Great Service and Great food. Ask for recommendations from the waiter and was not disappointed! Got the massaman Curry. Thought it was pricy but got 4 drinks, 2 mains, and an app. Was satisfied with everything so can't complain.

One of the greatest restaurants in the city, food is always cooked to perfection and all the staff welcome you everytime. Great local establishment owned by great local people.

Ill start with the good things. The service was amazing, the server was really welcoming as well as the other staff. It was a good place coz you have an option weather inside like a bar type or somewhere more quiet on their outside place.

What all of us didnt like are the food. All of the food was so damn salty. If you want to have KIDNEY PROBLEMS this is the best restaurant for you. Few hours after dinner, it felt really dry on the tongue which indicates there must be a lot of MSG as well.
