Lemongrass Seafood Bar & Grill Thai Cuisine

I live locally in Monterey and I always pass this place but have never stopped. I am glad I did. I really enjoyed the food,service and atmosphere. We had the thai steak cooked perfectly with rice and veggies and seafood cha cha cha with noodles and crab fried rice. There wasn't very many big crab pieces but you can taste it. Will for sure be back

3 1/2 stars = We’re very familiar with LemonGrass as we used to dine here frequently before moving. We’ve always loved *everything we’ve had here. Service continues to be exceptional! Thank you Kayla and Nina, you’re both delightful! I wasn’t thrilled with my meal. I ordered a (vegan) tofu noodle dish, yet it contained egg and definitely had a fishy component. The noodles congealed which made them difficult to eat. Our grandson ordered the Penang curry and enjoyed it. My husband ordered the seafood Pad Thai and had zero leftovers. We dined outside on the patio. While I miss the birds, I thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous mural.

The reviews of this restaurant are very positive, so I hope we came in on an off night and our experience is not a representation of a regular night. Unfortunately, each dish we ordered disappointed us. We ordered the mieng kham (shrimp lettuce wraps,) the lava chicken, and three-flavored fish. Mieng Kham: Each pile of dry coconut is topped with a small sliver of shrimp and a slice of lime with the rind still attached, buried underneath. Maybe this is how the dish is supposed to be, but I still found it lacked vibrancy and flavor. It was also very messy to eat, relying heavily on the sauce to balance the dry coconut. Most surprising was seeing how the shrimp was cut. I have never seen a restaurant do this before. It looks like one shrimp cut into three pieces. Edit: I looked up some recip

Coming home from Southern California very late on a Sunday night, we were welcomed by the staff, served warm comforting food on a cold windy night and even though we had showed up very near to closing, we did not feel rushed to get out of the restaurant. I will definitely be visiting again when I go through the area

We found this place on the way to San Francisco after a long trip from Yosemite National Park. We were starving Thai food and this places surprised us a lot ! It was the best pad Thai and mango sticky rice we ever tried. Amazing atmosphere and amazing people. Thank you for this dinner 🥘 I wish to come back.
