Atlanta's Best
by Goodcritic
June 25, 2009
Have been going here for 14 years. Live in Atlanta and make the drive to Marietta to eat here. Have tried thai restaurants all over Atlanta,including the expensive ones, and Lemon Grass to me beats them all. Even when we travel we still cannot find thai food as good as the Lemon Grass. Simply love it.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: None
The standard for Thai food

The only thing lacking here is the atmosphere. It feels a little worn down, but that is all forgotten as soon as the food starts arriving. Thai food never excited me until trying Lemon Grass. The richness of the coconut soup and the red curry leave you wishing that you would never get full. The cashew chicken and lemon grass entrees are spectacular, and definitely try the cheese rolls for an appetizer. It's tough to justify going anywhere else when you think about those items and the value that you get them for.

Great Thai

I used to work near this restaurant a few years ago. I still drive 30 minutes at least once or twice a month when I have Thai cravings. The menu is praiseworthy with many items to choose from. Seafood, fried rices, lamb and dishes featuring beef, chicken, pork or shrimp. I highly recommend the rama, the lemon grass and spicy noodle dishes. They are so good that it's hard for me to order anything else when I visit. The rama is prepared with a red curry sauce with brocolli, peppers, onions, carrots, mushrooms and basil with your choice of chicken, shrimp, beef or pork. The lemon grass has many of the same veggies but with cabbage and in a different kind of sauce. Everything is good. I love the spring rolls with peanut sauce. The shrimp appetizer is delicious too. Everything from the appetizers to desert is delilcious. The service is always friendly, promt and coureous. I highly recommend this restaurant .
- Pros: food, prices, service
- Cons: distance from my condo
Marietta Thai restaurant with food that's almost worth the wait.

The Scene
Large groups and families fill this homey, diner-booth take on the Thai standard. A harried-looking staff handles the chaos shakily, sometimes forgetting forks and special requests along the way. Appetizers arrive swiftly, but main courses take their own sweet time.
The Food
The mix-and-match sauces, plus specials and vegetarian options, make for a wide range of choices. Nam sod is a spice-free rendition of Thai pork with lime and peanuts. Fried crab lacks flavor and arrives with its inner shell cooked on. However, richness can make up for mistakes. What duck curry lacks in punch, it makes up for in flavorful coconut milk; while the lad na noodles ties its many ingredients together with a surprisingly sweet gravy.
Good value, good food, friendly service.

I went here for lunch and had the red curry with pork. It was bathed in a rich spicy cocoanut milk sauce, served in a generous portion, with sticky rice on the side.
It was served with a choice or soup or salad (I had the the cocoanut milk soup, which was rich and loaded with mushrooms and chicken) and a fried spring roll. The service was professional, attentive and courteous. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The restaurant is set back a little from the rest of the shops in this shopping center, so don't be surprised if you don't see it at first. But keep trying: it's worth looking for!
- Pros: affordable, pleasant service and atmosphere
- Cons: Spring roll was average
Great Thai food at inexpensive prices

Lemon Grass is a great Thai restaurant in a city (Marietta) with not a lot of great places to eat Thai. I go there mainly for lunch. Each lunch is delicious and filling and comes with a free appetizer. I always get the coconut soup (Tom Kha Gai). It's very delicious. Service is good, the wait is not bad, and the prices are great. Lemon Grass gets a 10/10 in my book.
- Pros: Delicious food, free appetizer, inexpensive
- Cons: None
Nice lunch

My boyfriend & I met here for lunch and it was a nice experience. This is my 2nd time at Lemon Grass and this time was even better. We shared the Nam Tok, which had the perfect amount of spiciness, and the Lemon Grass Chicken. Both dishes were cooked well w/ large portions for lunch. The service was very attentive & friendly but the best part was the value - $20 including tip.
- Pros: Value, Service, Tasty dishes
- Cons: Decor, Music (classical)

Take-out Thai for a night inside by Khalil J. at InsiderPages

If you're stuck north of the perimeter and are looking for great take-out Thai food, Lemon Grass is a sure bet. Just off 75 North at the Southern Polytechnic University exit, Lemon Grass serves the familiar Thai staples, and does it well.
Food comes in varied levels of spiciness for the mild-mannered and the insane Tabasco-masochists. It takes only 15 minutes from the time you order for the food to be ready, so depending on where you are, you can order your food and pick it up immediately.
PROS: Varied spice levels, lots of choices
CONS: Most of the choices taste like the same curry in different forms
