In Short
An inconspicuous building near Rookwood Pavilion, Lemon Grass offers authentic Thai cuisine on a heat scale of one to 10. For a small place, Lemon Grass offers an expansive menu, including tempting soups and salads. In addition to the standard fare, there are a few options with intriguing names such as "swimming angel;" chicken or tofu served on a bed of broccoli and spinach with peanut sauce.

I've ate at just about every Thai place in Cincinnati, and I think this is the best one there is, next to Teak in Mount Adams. Sometimes it can be a little cramped in there, and its not a fancy atmosphere, but you go there for the food. Service is excellent, people always friendly. They are pretty authentic, having been to Thailand, and knowing what the food should be like. Sometimes there is a little inconsistency, but for the most part, its always excellent. I generally get Pad Thai, Garlic Chicken, Ginger Chicken, Jungle Curry, however, I've had just about everything on their menu. You can't go wrong -- never been disappointed with a meal there. If you are an aficionado for things super spicy, just come up with a number higher than their 1-10 scale. They will add fresh diced Thai chilies and will make things extremely spicy if that's you thing.

This is the Thai food restaurant I keep coming back to again and again. Entrees are delicious, very classic dishes with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. One is plenty, and price is affordable. It's also very popular for takeout.

Lemon Grass is most certainly the best Thai food place in Cincinnati. Compared to the others in the area where you get stared at and oogled by the clientelle, Lemon Grass is affordable, clique, quaint, and fantastic. Aesteically, the cozy atmosphere tends to make you at ease as you wait for your dish to arrive. The food is prepared to order, as it would be in any respectable restaurant, and there are always at least 3 people willing to take your order for more corn cakes or Larb. One thing to metion above all else would have to be the curry. The curry at Lemon Grass is something all its own, The hot scale goes fro 1 to 10, but unbeknownst to many boring food-types, you CAN request a hotter dish. My friends and I have gone as high as 15. The most frequent request by my group is "Thai Spicy". Not the dish, this would be a statement in relation to how spicy you would want your curry to be. If you want to get lunch, order a plate of the curry, and if you want to get dinner, order a plate of the curry, Lemongrass supercedes the cincinnati area thai food universe with its righteous service, and blistering hot meals.
