Overview

Lemongrass is a Thai restaurant nestled at the corner of Corinna and Ball Streets in Phillip, ACT. It captures the essence of traditional Thai cuisine with an inviting, casual atmosphere that suits small groups and food lovers looking to explore bold, familiar flavors. The space is modest but comfortable, reflecting a straightforward design that emphasizes function over flair.

The menu is diverse, offering both classic and slightly adventurous dishes. Highlights include the Tom Yum Soup, a bright and tangy starter that sets the tone for the meal. For mains, the Thai Green Curry with seafood and Pad Thai noodles stand out for their rich, authentic tastes. Their curry selection, especially the Gang Panang and Jungle Curry, showcases the complex layering of flavors—creamy coconut milk, fragrant kaffir lime leaves, and the occasional spicy kick. Seafood lovers will appreciate the offerings like the deep-fried barramundi fillets with spicy tamarind sauce, which add variety beyond the usual fare.

Customer experiences reveal that while the food generally hits the mark in freshness and flavor, service can be inconsistent. Some diners find the staff friendly and attentive, often returning guests, while others note slow service and a lack of engagement during busy or quiet times. This variability suggests Lemongrass might be better enjoyed through takeaway or for those who prioritize the food itself over the dining experience.

The restaurant’s environment suits casual diners and those seeking an unpretentious spot to share classic Thai dishes. It appeals particularly to individuals or small groups interested in comforting, well-prepared meals without the need for elaborate settings. With a menu providing options for both meat eaters and vegetarians, it caters well to a broad audience.

In summary, Lemongrass offers a solid taste of Thailand in Phillip, marked by quality ingredients and familiar flavors. The food delivers on authenticity and satisfaction, making it a reliable choice for Thai cuisine aficionados, though the service experience can vary. If you value flavor above all and appreciate simplicity, Lemongrass is worth a visit or takeaway order.

Dined in for dinner last night, food was good my partner and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately the service was pretty terrible, we were seated and waited almost 20 minutes for someone to come to the table before we decided to go upto the counter to order. Staff were very happy to talk amongst themselves yet made no effort to look after their guests. I would recommend getting takeaway rather than dine in because the food was genuinely delicious.

When we went to the restaurant there was only 1 table with customers so it wasn’t busy at all. The lady who served us had no idea about the dishes. We waited so long to get our food all we could hear was the noise and giggles from the kitchen. They rushed the dessert right after they served mains, we eat quickly cause the ice cream was melting. This was disappointing. The tom yum soup was okay, the main meals were okay, the dessert were disappointing but the pork was good. Overall the food was okay. Not sure if I will visit this restaurant again!
