Lemongrass Cafe

I’ve been going to Lemongrass since they first opened and I have never been disappointed. The service is friendly and the food is amazing! It’s a great place for a quick lunch (they are usually pretty busy during the week but I’ve never had a problem being there too long) or a nice dinner. I’ve tried a lot of their menu items but I LOVE the pineapple fried rice, which isn’t much of a Thai staple, but it’s always what I go back to at least every other time I’m there. Any of the noodle dishes or curries are delicious, as well as the amazing Vietnamese hand rolls that come with the bento box.

Always enjoy lunch box lemongrass steak! All delicious & hot spices sauce to boot. Soup is delicious too. Nice appetizers. Luv this place

Fantastic Thai! Rich flavor with actual spice even in the standard (mild) version. Not a lot, just enough to give it a light zing. Portions are perfect. Dinner portion easily makes a second meal. Lunch is absolutely perfect size for lunch. Very Nice staff, though it’s a bit crowded — small walk ways. And long tables. The pumpkin curry was really great, very rich.

AMAZING PLACE TO BE !!! My boyfriend and continually comes even though we moved to Chicago try the gra pow or the panang curry great service too they make us feel like part of the family

Excellent café, Thai restaurant. I finally found a good place in Moline. Kai young chicken wings were grilled well an served with a weet tamarind sauce. The old school chicken lad nardi was even more flavorful Than some of my favorites in Chicago.

So good, good service also. But yikes quite the price jump, a glass of Kim Crawford from six to nine dollars… and the meals are up also, still really great but there are new places I will now try

Both of the Pad Thais are phenomenal. Always great service and friendly smiles. Definitely one of the best spots in the quad cities

Best pad Thai ever ever EVER!!! Great service and always my favorite place to eat! Their original pad Thai is incredible and they recently just got a new recipe that is just as great, I can never decide which one to choose! The staff and management truly care for the customers and it is hands down the best Thai food in the area.

I was visiting the Quad Cities for a 2-​week class and I seriously wish I could bring this place back home with me! We came for dinner the first week and came back for lunch and dinner several times more! Every single time the food was beyond amazing!!! Everything on the menu is fresh, tastes great and is worth trying!!!

They’re outstanding. Best Asian restaurant in a 100 mile radius. Street Food menu is an excellent addition. Their pork belly in particular is excellent, but challenging (spicy).

Came here for a quick lunch with friends and it was really good. We had the general Tso’s chicken which was just right in spiciness, the portion was not overwhelming like at most asian restaurants, we had a chicken curry dish which was delish. Only complaint was when i asked for the IPA beer on tap they ran out and brought me what i thought was a different ipa but ended up being a light lager, yuck. the complimentary soup hit the spot on a cold and snowy day.

Yes yes yes! I’m craving this now while I’m writing this! This is such a cute restaurant in the small quaint downtown area. Very contemporary on the inside, super cute!
The people who work here are extremely nice. I am obsessed with the Buddah Rolls. They taste amazing and the dipping sauce was the icing on the cake. I ordered the Lemongrass, which was extremely rich in flavor. The steak was a bit dry but the sauce made up for that. I am beyond impressed with the food and the flavors. I highly recommend this place. I can’t wait to go back!

Back in town for the holidays and was looking for an interesting place for lunch. My boyfriend picked out Lemongrass Café after finding it on Unilocal.Despite growing up here, I’d never been. Boy! was I missing out! He got the bulgolgi steak, which he said was different but better than he’d expected. I had the Pad Thai, which was the best I’ve ever had! Service was prompt and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Ate here for the first time today for lunch and was very impressed! Have been to the other places owned by the owner (exotic thia) and would say this is very similar with a few different item menus. The food was outstanding and had tons of flavor. I ordered the cashew lover and was very pleased. Prices were very reasonable and the service was outstanding! Will definitely be back to Lemon Grass in the future

My boyfriend and I eat here FAR too often, but it never seems like we can go often ENOUGH! BEST BEST BEST Asian fusion in the QC. I love all of their drinks, everything I’ve eaten here has been the best, and the wait staff. OH MY the wait staff is almost our most favorite part. We even have two favorite waitresses that have grown to recognize us and greet/​send us with the most genuine smiles and jokes. :)
We’ll soon be moving out of state and we both agree that it’s going to be hard to find an Asian food place we love as much as this one. I wish I knew the name of our favorite servers so that we could praise them here too!

The lighting is dim but the food is awesome. I had great fast and friendly service. At 11:40am this place was packed with all of the local business lunchers. I wasn’t starving so I ordered the crab cheese Rangoon and Shu Mai appetizers. The Rangoon came with a really awesome citrus dipping sauce that really complimented the crab well. The Shu Mai was small stuffed wrappers with chicken and shrimp with a soy dip. It was also really tasty. I hope to return to Moline soon so I can try more dishes.

I’m a regular at this place for lunch. Everything I’ve tried has been excellent.
My favorite is the Khao Soi Gai. It’s a rich creamy soup with noodles, meat and vegetables. It’s delicious and filling and perfect for cold weather comfort.

It would be fair to call myself a regular at this establishment. I come here frequently for lunch with coworkers, lunch on the weekends with my girlfriend and dinners with the family.
I have experimented with the menu thoroughly. Some of my favorites include:
General Tso Chicken (I know what you’re thinking, and it is not at all what you are expecting!!!)
Panang Curry
Pad KeeMao (Bento)
Singapore Noodles
Steak Luc Lac
Phở
Crab Cheese Wontons
Bentos are a great value for lunch. They also offer a monthly special that offers tastes from different regions. I have tried 3 so far and they have all been amazing.
The best thing about Lemongrass is the flavor (particularly sauces). As mentioned above the General chicken is not at all what you are expecting and the sauce is unlike anything I’ve ever had before, DELICIOUS. Service is always with a smile and very attentive. Truly one of my favorites!!!

This place is very high quality, they could be in the biggest of cities and be in a top spot easily. They really have something special here.
So to start off their phở is delicious, not their special but they have it. Big bowl with both steak and meatball in it. If your a phở fan your good to get some here.
Their entrée dishes and appetizers are amazing. The eggrolls and rangoon are served with the best dipping sauces, these are some of the best that I have had.
The entrees all have a unique flavor to them which only can be found in quality places, not the store bought sauce here. I do suggest trying something new each time, you will have favorites but everything is worthy on this menu.
Well run place with a great ambiance inside, it has all the features of a nice date night place with a good price that won’t bust your pocket. Believe me they could easily charge another $ 5 on each of their dishes and it would be worth it.

Went here the other day with decent expectations since all the Unilocal fans pretty much like this place. And after ordering and tasting our dishes, those expectations were met. Here’s a few things I tasted:
— Thai Omelet: I had a Thai Omelet in another town before and loved it, and wanted to try it here. Different from an American omelet, this is deep fried, I believe, crunchy, and when paired with some rice, has a great taste to it. They serve it with tomatoes, cucumbers, and a sweet sauce, which I didn’t have before, but it was a good combination to match the oily fried egg. I got this with shrimp, so there were little pieces of shrimp in the omelet. Just as good as I expected it to be.
— Pad Thai: I tried some of the pad thai and it was a lot sweeter than I like. I’ve had a lot of pad thai before, and this was one of the sweetest that I’ve ever had. It kind of had a strong ketchup like flavor to it. I probably won’t order this here next time I come
— Pad Keemao: A pretty decent, safe dish. In my opinion. Noodles with assorted vegetables in it
— Gra pow: the gra pow was good (with a fried egg in it. and not just a normal American fried egg. This was kind of weird. It looked similar to my omelet. Maybe it was a deep fried egg… Anyhow, it was good. :)). However, this dish has a LOT of basil in it. The basil taste takes over the whole dish. So if you don’t like basil, definitely don’t get this.
— Pumpkin Curry: Had a bite of this, and it was delicious! May try this next time.
