Best pad Thai! Clay pot dishes are great...The fresh spring rolls are another favorite. Is this place still open?!

The problem we have with Lemon Grass is the price. Used to be one of our favorite places but now it is too expensive! So, we probably won't return.

We went to the Tumwater location. The food here was pretty tasty but we had asked for level 4 spice, supposedly Thai spicy. There was literally zero spice in either of our dishes. We asked for hot sauce and mentioned to the server that we thought there might have been a mistake but he didn't seem concerned or apologetic. He'd repeated our order back to us so I'm not sure where the breakdown happened. Maybe this is just how spicy their food is? The hot sauce was chili garlic sauce which is good but really changes the flavor of the food, so we just ate it bland. Probably wouldn't go back.

I didn't eat there. I just looked at the TripAdvisor page about it, WANTED to eat there, then noticed that someone in July 2022 posted that it was closed, with no rescheduled date to open. Dang! THEN, I got an email from TripAdvisor, telling me to GO BACK to their Lemon Grass page, as it's OPEN! Which they lied about -- it's NOT, although other nearby Lemon Grass ARE open. Stop promoting closed restaurants, TripAdvisor! It's a waste of everyone's time and money!

Lemon Grass used to be the place to go for Thai cuisine. Unfortunately, not any longer as we have been to two of their locations during the past 6 weeks and were disappointed both times. The food was poorly prepared and seasoned and the wait staff tonight sent clear messages that she would rather be anywhere other than the restaurant in Hawks Prairie. One of the worst meals in years.

Amazing asian fusion food, mainly a mix of vietnamese and thai. Great quality, good portions, nice ambience, and top notch service. One of if not the best Asian restaurant in Thurston county and I've eaten at asian places from centralia to shelton to kent

not sure how their rating is as high as it is. We ordered two orders of Singapore noodles, and one clay pot w/ pork. For whatever reason, one plate of the Singapore noodles was on a small half plate, and the other regular. We figured they mistakenly gave us the half order as an appetizer, but no, it was charged the same as the large order. We didn't bother to ask for the full order, because the noodles were dry and flavorless. The clay pot was really fishy tasting despite being pork. We also had two Thai coffees, and they seemed to put the sweetener /milk all in one, and none in the other, so one was sickeningly sweet, and the other had no sweetness but just super strong coffee. You could see one was light, and one was very dark. We hadn't been there in years, and decided to give them another chance. Our mistake.

After 5th visit i am writing this review.- Great quality and great taste- Consistent in food taste- Food portions are reasonable- Very decent palace, clean and decent ambianceImprovements/concerns:- I felt prices are little high, could be been couple $ less for each food item.

A friend from Bellevue came to visit. She was in the mood for Thai. I had been here once before and although it was good, this time it was great. The sevice was attentive and the meal was superb. She wouldn't even give me her leftovers and I paid for lunch! A great meal but almost didn't eat there because of the parking issue. We lucked out!
I had a nice experience at this restaurant with my coworkers. The food tastes good and the customer service was pretty good. Would definitely visit on my next visit to Olympia. My first time trying the Thai tea and it tasted yummy. I loved it.

The space is nice but the food is only ok and undistinguished. The chow mein noodles seemed an awful lot like broken spaghetti pieces. Better Thai and Vietnamese food to be found in Olympia.

Great customer service, great little space with good energy. The food was fantastic. Went with a party of six and everyone loved their dish. I will absolutely return. Great cocktail menu and one of the best Moscow mules I've ever had, they have a special one that it is a must try.

Great service at the downtown Olympia location. Had the #40 seafood with rice. So fresh and delicious.The tofu lettuce wraps were so good.Try this place for lunch or dinner you won't be disappointed.Parking can be tricky and it's meter parking during the week. Water is close if you need a walk after lunch or dinner.

Worst Phad Thai I have ever had. Totally bland. No flavor. Wide noodles, very few sprouts. Also, we requested peanut sauce with our take out order, but it was not included.
