Thai Lemongrass Restaurant - Victoria

The food was tasty, plate presentation was nice and most importantly, the menu items were affordable. The staff were super nice. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing until someone started smoking somewhere around and ruined it for me. They may need to set up a non-smoking area.

Finally found the best Thai Food in Victoria. Made a reservation for 4:15 to avoid the dinner rush. Service was top notch and the the food did not disappoint. From the first sip of my Tom Ka Gai soup I knew I had finally found the quality authentic Thai I have been looking for. I’ll be back with more friends next time.

We came on a Thursday at around 4:00 pm. I had read multiple reviews where they said the service was slow etc. So I had prepared myself in advance for this and to my surprise it was not slow at all. But that's probably because the restaurant was empty at 4 and there was no one here but us. The food came out really fast and the servers were really attentive. They gave out new plates for appetizers, mains and desserts. They weren't over bearing but when asking for the bill and to order it might be a bit difficult depending on where you are sitting in the restaurant but that's just my take. On to the food! Por pia $10 4 spring rolls with a sweet and sour sauce. Very crispy. Lots of cabbage inside. Not overly salty Prawn Pad Thai $15.50 big portion. I liked the proportion of fresh bean sprouts and peanuts to noodles. There were around 7 8 big shrimps which was very generous for the price. The noodles were nicely cooked. A lot of places that have pad Thai always overcook their noodles and they break easily but here they are still intact long noodles. They are bouncy and have a good chew to then. Not overly sweet or salty. Nicely seasoned and not too oily. Vegetable green curry $14.95 lots of veggies green peppers, bamboo shoots, carrots etc. The curry itself was really flavourful. Hint of lemongrass. Went so well with just plain rice. I could eat lots of rice with this dish (maybe 3 bowls haha) Drunken chicken noodles $14.50 big portion. Very strong basil flavour overall which I really liked. The noodles were again nicely cooked. Good amount of chicken. Would definitely order it again. Deep fried banana with ice cream $5.50 not too sweet. The batter was nice and thin and crispy. Good way to end the night. Overall I would recommend this place for Thai food. The interior feels very homey and the service is pretty good. The portions are good enough to feed a couple people and the flavours are pretty good. The prices are also reasonable for the amount of food you get. TIP: order their drunken noodles

The food here is really great, and for me it has just the right level of heat. I also appreciate that you can get Thai beer here too. I feel that the prices are a little inflated, and unfortunately when I came with a table of 5 of us the service was quite poor (although that's an anomaly to what I usually experience).

Amazing food! Even better service! I ordered the red curry lunch combo, extra hot. It was perfect in every way, with enough food to take for a snack later. I loved it! They gave great beer as well. The staff was super attentive, but never overwhelming. The washroom was clean. The atmosphere is inviting and the location could not be better, within walking distance of the beach. I love this place and will be back!
