Lemongrass in Liverpool

Fantastic food always. Best Thai in Liverpool. Always hot delicious and fresh food. Our favourite.

I have visited many Thai food claimed restaurants but when I visited this restaurant I feel the real taste of Thai food. I will prefer this restaurant to everyone must try their dishes. They delivered food to your door step and drivers are very efficient and cooperative.

It’s the most authentic Thai food in Liverpool, probably in the UK too imo. We’ve ordered King Prawn Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, Soft Shelled Crab and Mango Sticky Rice, and all the food are all delicious and cooked in the traditional way as in any Thai food restaurant in Thailand. The seafood are flavorful, the portion is large and the mango used in the Mango Sticky Rice is super juicy and sweet, unlike many other Thai/Asian food restaurants we tried in the UK. Seriously the food are so good I cannot pick just one to be my favorite dish here. If you want authentic Thai food, this restaurant is THE place to go.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon with friends. Food and service was amazing I would highly recommend a visit food is fresh and beautifully presented

very polite service great food would go again. 😛

Experience food and the environment is too good staff was so nice and friendly.

Do not eat here. 16.88 on uber for a massaman curry. 3 pieces of meat, 1 potato, a few cashew nuts, a few slices of onion, NO RICE

We ordered a takeaway delivery from this restaurant. By far, the best Thai food, I had duck pad thai and my husband had red Thai curry. We definitely recommend, our for was hot and delicious! We will definitely be eating here again

Very limited menu. The Rum Punch is not Rum Punch.

The coconut rice was tasty, but the menu was more expensive than other venues serving similar dishes. The service felt rushed, especially at the end when receiving the bill, we were barely given any time to review it before being handed the card machine

Delicious food. Great portions. Great service. Very clean. Look forward to eating here again. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and very well presented extremely tasty. I will return 😀😀

Nice but overpriced. Maybe better if you eat in.

Ordered the spicy udon with chicken, was a really healthy portion and loads of flavour, my eyes were too big for my belly though. Blooming lovely.

Ordered a takeaway, never turned up, chased on the phone, the staff lied about sending the order to my address then lied about issuing a refund after waiting two hours for food

Food was late, cold and I would expect more than 4 pieces of meat in a meat dish for the price paid, the coconut rice was pathetic a small bag of rice no bigger than 5cm square

baby's food ,chips and nuggets were cold and for the £10 expect hot food. ribs cot cold fast and my duck meal was full of just fat and skin. fish meal was spot on bit rest was disappointing for temp . we ordered the ribs all the time but looks like no care was taken in this case, badly chopped and over done

Best Thai takeaway in south Liverpool

I went here today with my family we are a family of 4, 2 adults 2 children as I arrived at the restaurant there was not a member of staff in sight there was one family eating nobody else in restaurant it took about 6 minutes before anyone came out to see us we then sat down ordered our food and drinks Starters came out Salt and Peper chicken (so salty to much salt) Sui mais (overcooked tasted like rubber) Mix platter (was ok) Tempora vegetables ( the batter was thick and was still wet inside not cooked enough) So didn't say anything just thought don't like complaining waited 25 minutes for our main There was noone else in restaurant but delivery were going out felt like they took priority. Mains eventually came out Pineapple rice (this was nice but only had 4 thin slices of pork in it) Then we got the grill with meat and fish when we ordered this we asked the waitress what meats and fish were on it she said lamb chops chicken steak prawns scallops so as it arrived there was no lamb chops no scallops, the steak you couldn't chew it was that overcooked the ribs on it were just fat I feel totally ripped of this is so sad because it could be a really nice restaurant as the decor it beautiful won't be back again if I want a thai I'll be going to chaba chaba

the beef was rubbery and warm wasn't crispy beef ,dumplings were nice but not hot

Very disappointed with their member of staff,she had attitude issues the second we entered. she ruined the night for all of us by snarling our table.(Indian girl, Very skinny and tiny height) she was constantly looking in the mirror at herself 😭🤮.she not even attractive,with all that makeup hiding her real skincare. service was okay and meals.

Holy basil is lovely. Fab decor

A bit steep, but the food is genuinely delicious. Well presented and good service

What can I say but what a really lovely place to eat. Very clean and the food was delicious! Lovely friendly staff too. Will be returning soon 👍Just edited my original review to mention that the only criticism is the pancakes (for the duck dish) as they were too thin and would split easily when filled - need to be thicker please

Ordered a takeaway said it would be delivered in 1 hr 15 mins, food took nearly 3 hours , 3 phone calls to the restaurant who kept telling me it was on its way, it was stone cold when it arrived 3 hours later and the king prawn dish I ordered that cost £19 had 3 medium sized prawns in

Spicy Udon Noodles!!!! FANTASTIC My usual but I take red chillis out which leaves the noodles with perfect heat. Lips on fire but not too hot. We used Uber to order and it came in 55 mins. Happy to wait as we know its good!

Food was all spot on! Tom Yum soup is fab!

Ordered at20.05, eta at time of order was 21.20, food arrived at 22:01. Two hours from order placement.

We are visiting family in Liverpool this weekend, and they took us to Lemongrass for dinner. The food was absolutely fantastic. Top quality, fresh, and fantastic taste. I am not Thai, so cannot comment on how authentic the food is, but it is certainly better than any Thai I food I have had in London or elsewhere in the UK. We will be coming back here again every time we visit Liverpool.

Awful delivery time. Kept being pushed back without communication from restaurant. We had to ring 3 times for an update. We were not issued an apology nor a refund. Ordered 7:12 didn’t get the order until 9:30 disgraceful

The food was exceptional 🤌🏻. The staff was really polite and professional. Restaurant ambience is really nice. Will visit soon next time🤤

Outstanding meal, we had duck pad Thai and it wasn’t just food - it was an experience. Nice interiors, very polite and efficient service. Will be back as soon as I can.

Called to find out why it hadn't been delivered (45mins late) to a rude staff member who first said there was no order, then that they gave it to someone in a different flat - didn't even try to buzz the correct flat number. Then called back to accuse me of having the wrong phone number on the account (it wasn't, I triple checked), mumbled they would honour it (!) with a redelivery. Food was adequate. Won't be dealing with them again.

Don't know were to start food exceptional service top quality. Probably the best restaurant I've been too in ages . Can't recommend this place enough 5🌟

Awesome food , great service and wonderful ambience ! Keep up the great positive energy 👍. Hats off to restaurant manager, Ms Sri . Thank You !

The food was sensational! I can't say it any other way. Fantastic! Try!

Amazing, would donit again and again

Absolutely delicious food , lovely staff 💯 highly recommended 👌 lots of vegan vegetarian options. Good for free parking

New favorite Thai restaurant! We ordered pineapple duck fried rice recommended by the waiter. It was heavenly and rich, even came in an actual pineapple as the bowl. Mixed seafood dish was also fresh and delicious, had the biggest scallop, king prawns, mussels, calamari etc in flavored sauce with fresh leaves, went down well with sticky rice. Service was excellent, attentive staff, came to £48 for two adults including a beer and 10% service charge. Great quality food, highly recommended, probably the best restaurant in Smithdown road.

Prices have recently gone up significantly as of July 2024 making it way too expensive for what you get and compared to other similar places locally. Servers can be a bit rude and add automatic 10% tip to your bill. Food varies with each visit.

Seems to be a trend with the review for this place - the takeaway food is really subpar. The food was bland and pretty expensive for what it was. Ordered tofu khao pad Thai and was just given a box of tofu, rice and veg - basically no flavour at all. £8.95 for four spring rolls is extortionate. Very disappointed all in all and wouldn't order from here again. A shame - it seems a lot nicer in person.

Fabulous portion size. Beautifully prepared food. Will definitely order from here again.

excellent delivery. let down with the food no taste just heat.

Lovely food. Very fresh tasting.

Delicious food! Halal chicken, beef, duck Great portions. Spicy means spicy! Very satisfied

I don’t know why this restaurant doesn’t have all 5 star reviews. Tonight was easily the best food I’ve ever had, and huge value for money the portions are big… So be warned! We had pepper beef, lemon grass Sui mai and ribs to start (I know we are pigs) then a curry each with a side of rice and salt and pepper chips. Needless to say we couldn’t finish it and have packed up our tea for tomorrow night. The food was beautifuly presented too, it must cost them a lot of money on ingredients as they are really high quality. We will be back! This is our new favourite place 😋

Really enjoyed the food Thank you

Fantastic food and service. The cocktails were spot on too. It was quiet because of the England match hence the 4 stars for atmosphere. Lovely venue. 💕

I was expecting a bigger quantity for all 3 dishes for the price but received much less.

Food was absolutely delicious. Really fresh. Good portions. Service was nice when they came over it was just a bit difficult to get their attention for another drink etc. Atmosphere was nice but we were seated right in the middle of 2 couples. Seats were too close and it felt like we could all hear each others conversations. No music was playing so it felt a little awkward. I'd understand if it was busy but it was quite empty. All in all I'd go back again as the food was so nice and the staff were so nice when they came to us. I'd just maybe choose where I'd like to sit if possible.

Really nicely decorated restaurant, very friendly service & the food was amazing, the best Thai we’ve tried and one of my favourite places in Liverpool. Highly recommend definitely give it a try

Top quality takeaway best gaff about 10/10

This place is absolutely amazing, can’t fault a thing. You have to try the crispy black pepper beef starter. The curries were delicious, service amazing. 10/10

Food was delicious Staff friendly and very helpful Will definitely revisited

Food was amazing, Thai is my favourite food. I have to say one of the best Thai places ever. Recommend and will definitely be ordering again from here

I ordered the meal at 18.30. I was told it would be delivered between 19.40 to 20.00 which I think that in itself is a long wait at least 1 hour 10 minutes but even that wasn’t enough time for the food to get here. We had to wait a further 25 minutes. So in total nearly two hours. To long won’t be ordering again

We order takeaway from the restaurant very regularly. The food is utterly delicious and generous. Great choices especially for vege options. Unfortunately for the second time, I found chicken in my vegetarian tofu noodles. The first time a while back, there was a full portion of chicken so I noticed quickly and had the meal swapped. Although the chef didn't believe me so we had to fish it out of the bin and send it back with the driver. This time I've eaten the full meal and then found 2 big peices of chicken at the bottom. I accidentally ate a bit of it and obviously the whole dish has been cooked with it. I've phoned to complain and received an apology. I do not want a free meal/refund etc. I just want the chefs to be more careful. I'm upset that after 25 years I've just eaten chicken. But if this had been an allergy or intolerance it could be very serious. I would like to continue enjoying the lovely food here as long as they are more careful. Would have been full stars if not for this.

really good food again, but i need to remember to ask for no egg on the noodle dish (this is a note for me, not the restaurant)

Lovely food and staff. Only problem was that it took almost 2 hours to get our mains out. Yes it was mothers day but we dined early when the restaurant was relatively empty. Thai green curry was to die for! Took the leftovers home and enjoyed it all over again the next day 😋

Couldn't fault the service, really friendly. The food was lovely, we went for satay chicken and sui mai for starters followed by chicken pad Thai and chicken cashew. Would have like the chicken cashew to be a little more spicy, however food was tasty overall

really tasty massaman curry and the beef in the salad was nice and tender, had to fight the cat for the ribs which speaks to the quality

This place is incredible (so much so I’m making the effort to leave a review). Second takeaway and both have been fab. Food quality is superb: so fresh and flavoursome (rice super light too). Would highly recommend the ‘Lemon Grass Surprise’. Can’t wait to visit in person!

The food is second to none. Had the special Sui Mai to start which blew my mind, and the pineapple rice was spectacular. Staff were also lovely to a fault. The best Thai food outside (and possibly inside) Thailand itself. Went again in February 2024 and if anything the food has got even better! The special Sui Mai is genuinely unbelievable and I had the Pad Med Mamuang with crispy pork belly for mains- Holy Christ, it was something else entirely. I could have wept with joy. Staff once again were so friendly and helpful. Officially my favourite place to eat in Liverpool. Please just go!

And hour and a half late and didn’t really seem bothered about it actually. The result was semi-warm food that would have been really good

Started off well, starters and cocktails where lovely. Got my main meal, and it went down hill. I had the pad krapaou, and it was inedible. It must have had about 20 birds eye chillies in it. I like spice, but this was ridiculous. It also didn't specify it was ground beef, when ever I go to Thailand, its always sliced beef. For the first time in my life, I had to send a meal back. And had to wait 25 minutes for a fresh one to come out, by which time my wife had already finished hers. When it arrived, I was very underwhelmed. Nothing like the authentic dish. Nothing was offered to rectify this, and was charged still full price at the end plus a 10% service charge which definitely wasn't earned. Bill came to 80 quid. I'm proper gutted as this was a birthday meal, and I love thai food. Wont be returning

Amazing food. Very authentic. Lemongrass Sautéed ribs are the best I ever had.

Delicious freshly made fabulous thai food served by delightful staff. Great for vegetarians and vegans. Sunni our waitress was very helpful talking us through the menus and making recommendations .We are vegan and vegetarian there was plenty of choice. Everything was 100 % nothing was too much trouble. Portions were really big so ended up taking some home . lots of free parking outside . Lovely atmosphere great place for a family gathering we will be back . Been to all of the thai restaurants on allerton Rd and this is the best and all of them are very good

An utter disgrace. £15 for 3 plain small prawns and few bits of undercooked brocoli. £15.95 for 3 ribs. The special fried rice states that it's cooked with Mixed Veg, Mixed Seafood and topped with Roast Duck and Crispy pork for £15.95. Be warned. It isn't. If you want any of that you have to pay extra to add it on. If you were to add on that to make it up it would cost £26.95. For fried rice. £18.95 for a pathetic combo starter which had some random bone in the box too. A £60 takeaway that barely fed two adults. Extortionate prices. Avoid. So in response to the owners. This was fried rice not white rice. The ribs were wrapped in banana leaf which i removed for the photo to show the quantity. Do you also belive the prawns and combo starter arent from your restaurant too or just those two dishes? Trying to blame Uber for delivering from wrong restaurant is embarrassing. I called the restaurant directly at the time and discussed the issue. They were apologetic to be fair and sent more ribs after a heated discussion and said i could claim a full refund from uber. However, uber will not grant a refund based on this. Further response to the owner: I can absolutely guarantee this is your food. I have the receipt to prove it and I called yourselves at the time and you sent some replacement food. Are you suggesting the Uber driver got that from a different restaurant too? Utterly embarrassing that you continue to deny this is even your food and blame the delivery driver.

Mixed opinions on this. 2 out of 3 of the group enjoyed their food. one not so much

Nice food but took 2 hours to arrive- pretty sure they forgot about my order until I called them

Fantastic food and great service. Definitely worth a visit.

Waited 2 hours for our meals, and then it was a little chaotic when they brought the meals to the table. Additionally my meal arrived once other members of our party had finished theirs. The food was really nice, just a shame about the service.

Ordered a take away from Lemongrass tonight and both myself and my partner were extremely disappointed. There is nothing authentic about the food. The Thai rice I ordered was grey, greasy with no colour (veges) or texture. Chipshop quality for a restaurant price. Partner had Thai red curry which was clearly just flavoured with what tasted like shop bought paste. To top it off - we got about 8 prawn crackers for £3.50 and the vegetable spring rolls were raw and doughy. Wouldn’t recommend and would not return.

gorgeous food, really tasty. would definitely order from here again

The starter was cold which started the meal with disappointment. The beef salad was lovely. The rice dish was plain and the meat on top tough. The green curry was very tasty

The lamb curry was too nutty. The service was top tier and the atmosphere was buffery music, loud poppers.

Rice and Sui mai lovely,calermari not so nice too much greasy batter

Red Thai tofu curry and sticky rice tasted wonderful and stayed hot on delivery. Chips were cooked well and tasted great but for £4.50, the size of portion was very bad. Portion sizes in general for the price was not okay. The egg fried rice was cold and would not recommend to anyone. Will not be ordering again

Food accidentally delivered to "some boys in the lane" finally redelivered at 7.45pm (order placed 5.15pm) forgot hoisin sauce and pad Thai gloopy and too sweet.

The food was fantastic but although it was only five minutes late it had been with the courier for half an hour so was cold.

Waste of money, sadly. Food arrived 30 minutes late. Dried out starter (Tod Man Pla) cold main (veg Thai green curry). Also not tasty at all. Annoying waste of £23 (not cheap). I won't use again.

Thai Green curry, salt & pepper chips, spring rolls and kid's noodles were lovely and a good size portion. However, the coconut rice was a tiny portion certainly not enough for 1 person even, and it came in what looked like a microwave bag. The egg fried rice was bland and cold, the cucumber with the duck was slimy, I chucked it away. There was only 1 tiny pot of sauce with the duck and the duck was not tasty.

Soups were amazing. Fried rice little too spicy but lovely 👍👍 would definitely order again

Paid £25 for cold food ! Sea bass was swimming in cold watery sauce ! Ordered food 9-15pm to request food to be picked up at 10-30pm! Received notification food was ready at 9-45pm ! Rang restaurant to tell them the order was for 10-30pm ! They said it’s ok ! By looking at the food its the same food that was ready at 9-45 pm ! So it’s been sitting there for nearly an hour before I picked it up ! Please read the collection time on the order in the future ! Really disappointed !

Food was so tasty and worth the wait. We called the restaurant to see how long it would be and the lady was very helpful.

very tasty and delivered on time. only criticism was that there was a small omelette on the noodle dish which was not mentioned in the description (had ordered it because the noodles are rice and one of us have an allergy) it was easily removed but was unexpected

Delicious! Took just over an hour to deliver , but it was so worth the wait! Main course dish did not come with rice or chips or etc and it was quite pricey so really would have expected a side with it as part of the price. But other than that no complaints. Will order again .

Beautiful interior, superior hygiene and quality service. Theee best Sui mai in the universe-all made on site. I just knew it as soon as I bit into them, the texture and taste was exceptional and lovely dipping sauce. We like spicy and you can easily take the three chilli rating if you’d like heat.

Not a good value. Tried once and won't be returning. Far from authentic Thai.

-Sticky mango rice is delicious. I give this five stars and highly recommend. -Tomyam mixed seafood fried rice is too salty. -The Mixed Platter was £18.95 and I felt there was less variety or quantity of dishes than in other restaurants 🤔

Beautiful food reasonable prices portions very generous will definitely order again

So the reason for this review is because I noticed that many negative reviews on here were regarding take aways. We have been here many many times, but only for sit in food. So tonight, we bit the bullet and ordered a plethora of different dishes, this didn’t disappoint. The food was absolutely exquisite and my cousin over from Australia described it as ‘insanely flavoursome’ We had some larb salad, essentially minced chicken salad; sounds mingin but trust me, it was to die for . The duck spring rolls were also delicious, as was the masaman curry. My sis who is a vegan had tofu satay and green beans in a soy/chilli sauce, again so delicious 👅 So I can categorically say, the take away menu is just as good as the sit in. And to the balloon heads that reviewed insisting they found hair in their food, it’s fibre from the banana leaves 😂 Thank you Lemon Grass, you are an absolute gem and I feel so lucky to have you practically on my doorstep 🥰

Lovely food and presentation but the prices are extortionate.

Best Thai we’ve ever had! The food was really lovely, and the restaurant itself was a pleasure to sit in. The staff were very polite, friendly and attentive too. If we weren’t here just visiting we’d eat at the Lemongrass again in a heartbeat. Very highly recommended! A*****

Brilliant fish and spicy salad. The food here is wonderful

Food was ok but more veg and not much meat etc . Watch for over pricing . Put on 10% service charge and waitress still asked if we wanted change . Er yes we did . Will not go back

Food was lovely but service was not, the waitress seemed as if she couldn’t be bothered, not friendly, no smiles, nothing welcoming, she kept removing finished plates when people were still eating, which is a pet peeve of mine, I think it’s rude, we felt as if we were being rushed, I ordered the jumbo king prawns they were £15 and it does state there is no side dish which is fine, but when it arrived there was three prawns, two pieces of broccoli and a little bit of courgette and some salad, I think £15 for three prawns is disgusting I’ve been to other places and got more prawns, same size, on a starter dish for less the price

Been a few times but tonight was awful, messed up the order, still added service charge and although they apologised i've come away from my birthday meal frustrated and disappointed.

The food is absolutely gorgeous. So tasty and plenty of it as well. Definitely recommend.

Have been several times and ordered delivery multiple and after visiting I have to say the service standard has dropped tremendously since the first in-restaurant visits. The new staff are not attentive and seem like they don’t know what they are doing. The spring rolls came out super tough and there were a few slimy uncooked prawn crackers on our portion. Curry’s were great but I hope they turn things around with the service as it’s a great place with good food usually.
