Lemongrass in Saint John

What a lovely dinner pre Uptown Sparkle!

Service was great and the place was decorated nicely, but the food was bland and didnt really capture South East Asian cuisine or its flavours. Not worth the price!

I can t comment on the food because no one ever came to take our order. After waiting 20 minutes without service or even eye contact from the staff, we decided to leave. The lack of food on other tables was a clear sign that we wouldn t be eating anytime soon. We ended up going to the Ale House instead, where they at least took our drink order promptly. I m really disappointed, as the food looks incredible in their posts, but I guess it just wasn t meant to be. Super strange experience overall.

I had an amazing experience at Lemongrass! The service was outstanding, and our server Zev went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely incredible I had the tacos, and they were bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was beautiful, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, its a 10/10 for me! I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a lovely ambiance. Dietary restrictions: Were very mindful of my allergies and preferences

One of the better places in Saint John

Always a positive experience at Lemongrass/Peppers

Unique restaurant especially the patio area and Pub in Market square St-John, NB Jarret the server was super nice and helpful recommending food and local artisan beer

I had one of the 5 best meals Ive ever had at a restaurant at Lemongrass in Saint John, New Brunswick. It was on the daily specials menu. Slow cooked beef curry with noodles, vegetables, pickled mustard greens and crispy wontons. My husband had the best ever vegetarian drunken noodles. Nice drink selection and a large beer on tap selection. Service was exceptional. You wont be disappointed! Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options.

my husband and i went here for lunch and he sent his food back because it was not what he expected and did NOT like it. the waitress kindly offered to get him something else seeing as he did not like his food and barely ate any. when the bill came she had charged us full price for both his original meal and his replacement meal and when questioned about it she said that it technically wasn t made wrong . poor costumer service and the whole thing really left a sour taste in our mouths about this restaurant. will not be returning and everybody should watch out for shady business dealings like this.

Service was great and the food was delicious

Amazing food, big portions and everyone was very friendly

The curry nachos are a must try! Such a great place with excellent service everytime.

The service was pleasant and average, however literally every item we ordered off the menu was far too salty. To the point where I asked for vinegar, doused my food in vinegar to counter act the salt, and it was still too salty. I hope this review reaches the owners or the chefs before someone has to be taken away in an ambulance for cardiac arrest.

I went to Lemongrass a few years ago and really enjoyed it! I got the crunchy chicken burger and it was delicious, possibly the best chicken burger I ever had. While visiting New Brunswick a few days ago, I decided to order the crunchy chicken burger again, since I enjoyed it so much. Once again it was delicious, but this time the chicken was half the size and barely filled the bun. Last time I went the chicken was practically spilling out of the bun. We did end up waiting nearly an hour for our meals, but it was understandable since the restaurant was really busy. Aside from that, our service was great, as well as our waiter.

Nice patio in the summer and winter, various great dishes, bangok curry and butter chicken

Hands down best Thai food and largest beer selection in the city. Very cool vibe inside and out on the patio. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

We were here on vacation and I can t stop thinking about it. PLEASE OPEN IN HALIFAX, NS. PLEASE.

Food was delicious, different style drinks to choose from, service was polite but kind of slow... HOWEVER for a date night it was much appreciated. We had a chance to talk before being rushed with ordering. Would definitely return again. Food

its the best place in SJ. the food is consistently amazing, the atmosphere is so relaxing and the drinks are super tasty. highly recommend, i always have a great time there!

There s absolutely nothing I dislike about this place. The staff are amazing and the food is equally amazing! This is a regular spot for me and they are always so consistent!

We came here for our anniversary with high expectations based on the reviews. We ordered the ginger beef, money bags, garlic naan and the drunken noodles. The ginger beef was so salty it was almost inedible as were the noodles. Im only giving two stars because the garlic naan and money bags were quite good. Im sad to say that we will not be back.

The curried nachos are a crowd favourite. I dont think Ive ever had a dish I didnt enjoy.

Have seen some wicked good shows here

Excellent food and service!!

Great place to visit at least once a year from out of town. Awesome food and beer selection, fantastic service.

Waiter was the best! The food and atmosphere is prime! It was worth the 2 hour drive for us out of town visitors!

Ordered Ginger Beef and Coconut Rice and after longish wait was pleasantly surprised at how yummy it was. Big portions and sadly I ate the whole thing like an addict. Definitely good food here.

Thai restaurant in market square of saint John. Food and service are fine. Nothing special but nothing bad either. Not for a special occasion but okay overall. 3.5 to 4.0 stars .

The food takes a while on busy evenings as the restaurant also hosts pub goers and caters to pub fare. Food is quite pricey but really good. Id recommend the main courses than the appetizers. Food

Great stop in St John if you re after good food, great beer and awesome people - excellent experience! Also very dog friendly (outside on the terrace, which is great).

Very good food (noodles and curry) but maybe a bit overpriced. very good service and atmosphere will still recommend

It was the 6 inch hair in my meal and no apology. The owner called the police when I wouldn t pay and stalked us half way home. Disgusting place.

It is a really good place to eat. Prices are similar to the ones you get in other places in uptown but you receive more quantity. Food is really good (try the burg, Thai poutine or noodles)

Had fish and chips. Very tasty. Server was great. Wednesday wine nite

It was our first time and totally worth it. We will be back with friends. We love finding new recommendation worthy restaurants and this one totally fits the bill.

Excellent, attentive staff. Very cozy, yet sophisticated atmosphere. Absolutely delicious food in abundant portions. It was relaxing! Delicious gluten free options! Would recommend and plan to return!

I have been here a few times with my friends for lunch and dinner. The portion is generous and able to fill-up your craving. You can ask for more spicy if you want more kick for the food. The paid parkings are available around the area with minimal walk to the restaurant. I will come back for other occasions.

Best curry house in all of Saint John, maybe even New Brunswick. Affordable, has a decent selection of options, the rice is actually cooked properly (neither crunchy nor goo-like) and the food is seasoned to perfection. They also put on live music occasionally, if thats your thing. Only one issue I could think of and its pretty minor: Loads of beer options, only one cider choice and its not even local. (Maybe Ive just missed the days they have more choices though?) Update, April 2022: Food is still great. Prices are up a couple bucks but still within reason. Still no cider selection though, disappointing, ended up going a few doors down for our group after we ate as result.

Noodle portion sizes are huge! Tasty food and excellent service.

Loved it, sat outside as it was getting dark them moved inside as it got cool. Both were awesome. Had the crispy chicken burger & sweet potato fries w/ the chili mayo. As always it never fail to amaze. Its a bigomg yum! In every bite.

First time going to the restaurant and ended up with a 23 dollar bill for food I didnt even touch. We will not return to a restaurant that charges you for food you DONT eat. Extremely disappointing when compared with everywhere else in the area.

The drunken noodle was extremely salty. I could not have my third bite. I probably needed to go to hospital for kidney dialysis if I had the whole thing. I was upset the dish was not replaced.

Some of the best food and service in the city!

We were there today. Had very minimal attention. I would have had hot sauce on my meal but server never returned until we were done. Food was ok. Not what I expected. Poor service. Wont return

Great food. Not what I expected, but surprisingly delicious. Service is good.

Incredible spring rolls and yellow curry with chicken and veggies. Big pieces of white meat chicken and great variety of fresh veggies. Food was hot and fresh and the service was amazing! Wine Wednesday is a great evening to go! Highly recommend

Excellent meal and very good service

Great Pad Thai!

Great atmosphere food was amazing one of the best burgers I have had in a while, with a perfect amount of spice with a habenaro aioli. If you ask for hot curry bring a sweatband for this dish. Thanks for the laughs Mike.

Amasing Staff, butter chicken delicious.

The food and portions were absolutely fantastic, and it was a nice change from having burgers and fries on vacation. But, they also do server burgers and fries if that s your thing.

Eating this felt like I was back home eating rice and chicken curry...so good highly recommended, Chicken Makhani

Hands down the very best Restaurant in Saint John. Amazing Curry Dish Artists. We go here about once a month.

Atmosphere is nice, server was very nice. Was sad that there wasnt many vegan options, I know this is not a vegan restaurant. But the fact that theres only three things on the entire menu that your waiter knew about. Makes it so thats not variety enough for me to ever come back.

A great family dinner. Thai flavours, but other options too. Thai noodles with seafood.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! All of the staff were super friendly, but our server, Mike, really stood out to us. Mike was welcoming, kind, and charming! Lemongrass, and especially Mike, made sure our pup Dude was comfortable and happy. Thanks to the whole team!

When you get tired of all the lobster rolls, come here.

Mike is a superb server and the food was delicious.

Thai fried rice was DELICIOUS. The service was fast and the atmosphere was nice. our server, Crystal, was very friendly and funny. I recommend

Always delicious, flavourful meals. Great service, friendly staff, you couldn t ask for more! One of the best restaurants in town!

Amazing place to eat and drink.

Dietary restrictions: Glutten free friendly

Absolutely amazing fusion food and great beer selection. Would be there every week if we lived close!

Dietary restrictions: The have Celiac friendly dishes

Do yourself a favor and RUN DONT WALK to Lemongrass! What a vibe, amazing food and even better service! I had the best time there recently while i was home for a visit! Mike my bartender was funny and just an all around ACE!!!! The food, SOOOO GOOD! 10/10 !!!! I cannot wait to visit again!

Food is always excellent. Lots of spice without losing the flavour. Staff is always accommodating and attentive. Had a large group there last night and the waiter, Ryan, went above and beyond to ensure we were all well cared for.

Beautiful

Good food, good service, nice place

Exceptional service and a warm atmosphere.

Always a great experience.Amazing staff and lots of wonderful food

Best place for a delicious lunch curry. But sure wish theyd bring back green. Super friendly staff who are always attentive.

I love their Pad Thai, but everything Ive had from there has been excellent. Some of best flavoured food you can find.

Very good service, very noisy foodgood expensive for the quality

Tasty

I want to give 6 stars food was excellent very good choice on local beer and about the service was exceptionnal way more than average thks to Michael our waiter

Visiting Saint John on a staycation, we chose this restaurant as it was close to our hotel and looked like it was popular given the number of people inside. Covid protocols were in place and plexiglass screens separated the tables. Our server was quite friendly and explained all the specials. I started with a cocktail call Don t Ride the Elephant ... basically a mojito with lemongrass. It was good but rather expensive like most of the alcohol here. That said, beer was on special that night and there was a good selection. We both started with a soup. Lemongrass seems to be an ingredient in most dishes and the soup was no different. It was rather disappointing however to find a plastic spoon. C mon, not something you would expect here. My spouse opted for a curry dish but it was rather watery and not what she expected. I opted for bar snacks option. Basically it was a list of 8-10 small plates, not unlike Spanish tapas. Each dish was a fixed price - $8 per plate I think. This was a really nice option as you had a variety of different tastes. Some were a little cold suggesting they might have sat a while before being served. We ordered a wine which cost $52. It was interesting to see how much restaurants gouge you on alcohol. The wine cost ~$25 in the liquor store. We had the same wine at each place we stayed that week. At the Italian by Night it was $42 which was surprisingly nice given the quality of that restaurant. $62 at the Algonquin Inn in St. Andrews and a whopping $80 at the Delta Fredericton... almost 400% markup which was unnecessary. All in all, a nice meal despite some small criticisms. I would return. Please give a thumbs up if you found this useful.

Staff were very friendly and the food was amazing and served super fast and hot! Great craft beer selection. Huge portions.

The place was lovely, the service was wonderful. Unfortunately the pad thai noodles I ordered came out extremely salty to the point of being inedible. Im not sure if it was just the chef that day or just that menu. But they gave me another dish instead thankfully :)

Great Atmosphere and amazing food

Loved it! Great food and service. Just the right amount of heat and flavor. We will go back again.

Realy nice and tasty plate! All fresh and tasty! The sauces on the side of each is amazing!

Awesome food. The Chiang Mai Noodle and Pad thai dishes were spectacular! Felt like I was back in Thailand. I highly recommend eating here. Dog friendly patio as well ! Servers were so friendly and accommodating. Views and atmosphere were also lovely.

Waitress was SWEET and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Food was AMAZING, fast service as well!

The drunkin noodles were amazing

Staff are friendly , restaurant is clean , food is AMAZING , location is great

Everything was tasty and delicious ! I ordered the Gluten Free Veggies Coconut Masala and it was the best ! Great service. Would recommend to anyone !

Pricy but the portions are humongous.

Food would of been fantastic as the flavours were great, however the 4 main dishes we ordered were all too salty. Other than that service and location was excellent.

Great atmosphere. Best thai noodles. Delicious.

This is not What Thai food should taste like. The pat Thai is incredibly salty and the spring rolls have nothing but carbs in them.

Amazing patio with a view of the stage & live music. The food was fantastic (cashew chicken and red curry). The portions are generous - you could definitely split one meal for two people with some extra naan or rice.

Amazing Pad Thai!

Great patio location by the harbour. Service was excellent. Burger(huge) and fries were delicious

Cosy, classy. The portions are mind blowing. Love time spent here.

A must visit! Pad Thai was delicious. Great service and atmosphere! Thanks for the awesome service Steph!

Portion sizes were ok, but the food itself somewhat bland hence the 4 star Server was excellent. Super helpful and friendly. Also a really decent beer selection

We ordered the appetizer platter, butter chicken and drunken noodles with beef. The portions were very big and the flavour was amazing! The money bags were my boyfriends favourite. However, as a person who LOVES salt, it pains me to say that both mains were extremely salty, like to the point where I could not continue eating it. We told the waiter and they tried to fix it by watering it down but it was still VERY salty. The flavours were extremely delicious and very good but the salt is just incredibly overpowering. We were full after the platter so we got most of our mains to go but we when we tried to heat it up and eat it again we honestly had to throw it out from the amount of saltiness. I did see it in other reviews and hoped that it was a one-off but I think that they do constantly oversalt their food and hope that they take this as feedback to improve next time!

I had the Massaman chicken curry today for lunch. When I was finishing up I ordered another helping for takeout to eat at home for supper. Now I suffer from abdominal discombobulation. Worth it!

Absolutely delicious food...

This may be recency bias, but Lemongrass has displaced Thai Basil (downtown Toronto) as my favourite Thai restaurant. Cant wait to return and experience the night life.

Excellent location and service. Outdoor seating on a sunny afternoon is recommended. Had ordered beer - Radler & Koselig, carrot soup Bangkok curry & Red curry , both were served with white rice. The food was good though the carrot soup was high on Sichuan chili oil so took away a star for that! We had parked a little further from the market square near Dollarama. The town was not crowded as we visited after the circuit breaker measures ended this weekend.

I really liked the place. Also the food and drinks are just awesome but the thing I dont like was the waiting period. After the reservation also we had to wait for 25 more minutes.

Food is great and service is too when they want to serve you. Ive been many times and have waited long periods of time to be noticed. Have asked and then forgotten. The food is excellent but the clickyness of some staff was so unbearable sometimes and had to walk out.

Exceptional service and wonderful atmosphere!

Great place, great service, great food!

Nice place to observe the live concerts right outside side the heated patio. Wait service very attentive to our needs. The dishes were pretty spicy, surprisingly. Located in the lower levels of the mall.

Great Thai!

this is such a really great restaurant the prices are really good the staff are very friendly and helpful the place is always clean the tables are clean the bathrooms are clean the food is very well-prepared you can tell the chef takes pride in his work I highly recommend anybody looking for a good meal to come and check out the lemongrass restaurant because you wont be disappointed will be coming here again real soon to visit me and my colleagues and have a great meal as usual thanks for everything guys keep up the good work.

Such a lovely place with amazing staff. We sure visit again.

This place is a diamond in the rocks. Absolutely wonderful experience, from the first minute we walked in. Server was attentive and knew all about each dish and gave great advice, as well as each beer. This is a place I would definitely recommend to anyone. Fantastic. Thank you to our server who made it even more special.

Fantastic food, generous portion sizes and original recipes you wont find anywhere else. The kitchen staff clearly take pride in their work which is shown by the high level of consistency found with every order. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable bar tenders and wait staff who are more than happy to offer information on menu items. They have a large selection of craft beers from New Brunswick and across Canada. Enjoy a seat in their beautiful dinning room or the boardwalk patio located in the heart of Uptown Saint John. The owners have cultivated something special with this local gem. Truly a must visit for anyone coming to Saint John or locals looking to try something new.

Had the Pad Thai and it was good and beautiful but for me personally, I was disappointed. Portion was good for two meals but I found more Tofu than the chicken I ordered. Lots of fresh toppings, not a lot of actual flavour or just too dry for me. It s good but I ve had better for the price.

Always delicious. Love moneybags as an app or Chang Mai noodles as a main. Great beer selection too.

I cannot find anything negative with my experience. Service was wonderful; friendly, helpful, informative, attentive and not overbearing. The food from the appetizer (Thai platter) to the main courses (special of the day) were splendid and charming; fresh, authentic, delicious and just overall great. Finally, nice to see the money bags are still on the menu. The first time I had these, Lemongrass was located on Princess Street, long before the move to market Square.

The food was excellent. Fresh, crisp vegetables, in Drunken Noodles. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Appreciate the covid rules and procedures.

Good :)

Pricey.

An excellent spot for lunch and heat in the food is a plus! A great venue for Thai and good service.

Always a treat. No kids menu or things to entertain young people. That being said they are able to accommodate kids with a simple dish.

Apart from the great variety of beer, they have really great spring rolls. Really loved it!

I dont care for the two-for-one concept, only went for the Asian dishes and the Pad Thai did not disappoint. Its a huge dish, too and the leftover was still delicious two days later. The appetizer platter was only average though. Every single item on it Ive had much better elsewhere. Love this spot. Great options for food, price, style of food. It s nice that there s a something here for just about anyone. Authentic Thai food as well as great pub food. Delicious fusion dishes too.

It was amazing! From the server to the food, to the ambiance! 10 +

Super food and great ambience. Their Pad Thai is delicious and Thursday nights are wing nights.

Amazing food~! Really great thai that blew my mind

I have had multiple good experiences here but here was my last experience. My dish was delivered to the wrong table. My food was poked at my another customer, then the waitress, then delivered to me. I emailed the establishment and never heard back. Im not saying Im going to totally avoid the place but its not a place Ill be recommending as #1 to visitors to STJ.

Good food. Good service. Low score on environment. I try hard to avoid single use plastic and wasnt expecting water to be delivered in a plastic cup. Not acceptable with a $56 meal.

Some great Thai food.

Ah Lemongrass/Peppers pub. Many a day spent on the patio with beer, friends and food. Lovely staff and great eats. At night Live music through the weekend. Its all win

I adore this restaurant! The fish and chips is my go to order. Not only is the fish a very generous portion, the fries are ample and delicious! Its a little more pricey than your average restaurant in Saint John. But a must stop if youre uptown looking for lunch.

Great service portion a bit smaller than expected but still great.

Terrible experience last night. Rude service from staff and management. Horrible experience and we will never return.

This spot has a great patio and awesome food. Im in love with their apps and curries. Located on the boardwalk, it is a great location during the day and also at night.

Just wow, really everything! Excellent food, huge portions, tasty, rich. Nice service.

The deck on the boardwalk always makes it great for beers and food. The Pad Thai is a huge serving and well worth it. Love the Money Bags appetizer too.

I don t know that words can actually describe my dish tonight. I was basically overwhelmed by how amazing it was. I had the Chiang Mai Noodles, and they were so incredible! Do yourself a favour and visit! (Also: The patio is not only extensive, but there s also heat lamps for the cool times! )

Delicious lunch at Lemongrass in St John Market Square... Cashew Chicken was phenomenal with a little heat added for my taste ! Worth the trip. Lovely spot outside to listen to buskers and music.

Enjoyed lunch and dinners here close to the pier and local events on the walk way. Food is thai. Service is always easy coast friendly. Great to sit and have a drink with friends. I had the ginger beef last time. Not topical ginger beef made with a white wine. Absolutely delicious. Price is above average but it is a port city with many tourist in the busy season.

Great staff, helped us during our indecisive debating over which drinks to try. Gave us recommendations on how to best see the city.

Amazing wings

Best pad thai in New Brunswick.

Loved the food and the ambiance in the patio. The staff is helpful and friendly. I highly recommend trying fried Brussels Sprouts. Too bad I couldnt take a picture. They were gone so quickly. My kids, who dont eat Brussels Sprouts, loved it. Best part was that we could take our dog with us as it is pet friendly (patio).

Food was overly salty, typical for a pub. Noodles felt like a soup the sauce was so clear.

Get the drunken noodles and Asian street fries

Just across the harbor. Spice level is on the higher side (medium high). Restaurant has unique lighting. You will call it romantic if you are younger, or darkly lit if you are older

Lemongrass is always my favourite restaurant when I visit Saint John. Tonights Chang Mai noodles recommended by my server was amazing. First of all, piping hot, I do not like warm meals. Spicyness and texture was something else. Servers always friendly and know what a smile is. Highly recommended this restaurant.

Top quality. great front end and the kitchen knows whats up. Atmosphere is great, food is outstanding. Thanks for making it a choice stop in for our visit through Saint Johns

Excellent service - staff went above and beyond really. And the food, best Thai food I ve had in a really long time. Highly recommend the green curry!

First wing night is Thursday at 8pm. And the price of the wings went from 14$ for 6 wings to 5$ after 8pm. So I was told that wings were good here but I would give a 3 out 5 on the wings. They are breaded quite a bit. Oh yeah and if you get their at 8pm or around make sure you order all your wings then because I was told I had to wait another 15-20 minutes for another pound of wings so I left.

Went for lunch. Got the fried rice with chicken for 11$. Good food, friendly service, great price. They also have a patio so that s a bonus.

Amazing authentic Thai food. We had lemongrass soup to start with a couple of starters. Golden Balls were the best and satays came very close. Main course was also very tasty. We felt, Thai Green Curry is the highlight of this wonderful restaurant. Both my daughters enjoyed the Thai Green Curry. Price wise also it is not expensive at all. Overall, a great place for lunch and dinner

Thai food. Not my favorite. Service was good. Maybe the food was good if you like thai food. For me just not sure
