About

About Lemongrass Grill

Lemongrass Grill built its reputation in New York City as a neighborhood Thai restaurant that delivered honest, well-seasoned Thai food at prices accessible to everyday diners. Opening multiple Manhattan locations over the years — in Chelsea, Murray Hill, and Midtown — the chain became a go-to for office lunches, casual dinners, and late-night takeout across the city. What distinguished it from countless other Thai spots was an unusually broad menu: alongside familiar staples like Pad Thai and green curry, the kitchen offered whole-roasted duck preparations, lemongrass-marinated pork chops, and creative seafood dishes that gave regulars reason to return.

The restaurant's approach was unassuming but consistent. Chefs drew on central and southern Thai culinary traditions, incorporating coconut milk curries, fresh lemongrass and galangal, and the layered sweet-sour-spicy balance that defines the cuisine. The lemongrass pork chop became a recurring mention in reviews — marinated overnight, grilled to order, and served with jasmine rice — and helped cement the chain's identity beyond generic Thai-American fare.

As New York's dining landscape evolved, Lemongrass Grill continued to serve as a dependable neighborhood anchor in its Manhattan outposts. The restaurant's longevity in a highly competitive market speaks to a loyal customer base that valued generous portions, quick service, and a menu broad enough to satisfy the whole table — from the vegetarian ordering mixed vegetables in peanut sauce to the adventurous diner tackling duck tamarind.
