Lemon Thai Cuisine

very mediocre. Service was poor. Food was «ok».

Would not come back again
One of the worst Thai restaurants ive been to.
The fried rice doesnt have the sauce mixed thorougly and definitely does not have enough vegetables. Basically just bell peppers.

The Pad Thai for take out was excellent. They were very quick with the order in about 10 minutes. Good customer service. It’s located in Wellesley downtown, parking can be tricky but not impossible with a lot near by.

Ordered take-​out using the website as my guide. When I went to pick up the order they tried to charge me $ 15 more than what I had calculated using the web prices. When I asked I was told they were waiting for «them» to update the web prices. The said the in-​house menu prices were the correct prices (about15%) higher than the web prices. I refused to pay the inflated prices. It should be noted their web site was last updated in 2014. So they have been pulling this bait-​and-​switch scam for at least 2 years on countless customers. They should be ashamed of themselves. I will be reporting this to the Attorney General’s consumer fraud division.

I’ve tried their food couple times… It’s so-​so. I didn’t like the owner… And their pad-​thai sucks…

A nice meal at a good price.
Pros:
–They welcomed me and gave good service, even gave me water with no ice on request
–Fast service
–Clean including bathroom
–Attractive and delicious food (I had spring rolls and noodles with seafood
Cons:
–Not a lot of people in there
–Menu listed a LOT of things apparently not available at dinner. Still a lot of choices, but maybe have separate menus?

I came here recently with my family for dinner. The ambiance is cozy/​comfortable and the service was equally pleasurable. They have a good selection of appetizers, soups/​salads, stir fry’s, noodle dishes and curries. The build your own stir fry section is a very nice touch and is great way to get exactly what you’d like to eat.
When ordering I mentioned that I was vegan and asked if certain dishes could be prepared to accommodate my needs. Often times I am told that certain items like egg and fish sauces can not be committed from dishes, but at Lemon Thai they were happy to do it.
The food, which was very fresh and flavorful, is very accessible to the suburban crowd that it serves. You won’t find any intimidating dishes with «exotic» ingredients that one might find at more «authentic» restaurants, which to be honest makes sense given their customer base. This was a good place to take my less adventuresome family, but I would certainly eat here again.

A good way to satisfy that Thai food craving…
Located in Wellesley Center, Lemon Thai provides traditional cuisine with good ingredients and nice portion size. The staff are helpful and the dining room is modest but tidy.
To start off, we had the chicken satay which featured good portion of chicken breast with delicious thick peanut sauce and spicy cucumber sauce. We also had the fresh rolls which were quite good and served with a tangy dipping sauce.
We ordered the pad see ew and pad thai. The pad see ew featured wide noodles with a nice mild brown sauce and chicken and shrimp. The noodles were great and the chicken and shrimp were good. The chinese broccoli was good but the dish could have used a little more. The pad thai was superb. Tangy and sweet with generous portions of chicken and shrimp.
Overall, Lemon Thai satisfied our Sunday night thai craving. We will be back…

Loved the Indonesian Fried Rice with Spicy Chicken. The Pad Thai and Pad See Ew was not bad either. Delivery to Babson is fast.

Pretty cozy environment! Their food is tasty but not very extraordinary. Price is good especially for an expensive town like wellesley…

Did takeout here with the sister. This is one of our favorite Thai places to eat at since there aren’t many Asian options in Wellesley. Their food is fresh and delicious. They also have great service and the staff here are very friendly. I like their yellow paint and bright decorations. I really liked their Tom yum noodle soup last time. This time the green curry (which is my favorite) lacked some flavor so I was kind of disappointed. Otherwise, if you need your Thai fix, you can’t go wrong with Lemon Thai.
Parking here can be tricky since it’s street so I usually park elsewhere and walk over.
This was the first time we did take out. The food stayed fresh and warm after over 30 mins of moving her in !!

Great food! great service! Very quick very tasty! I got the tofu and vegetable pad Thai, drunken noodles, and the crispy rolls. Very satisfied! I eat a lot of this food at many different places this is in my top 5 probably! Deffinetly would recommend.

Not worth waiting 55 minutes and missing your lunch break because your food arrived late! Food is decent but if you can’t get your act together with delivery services why offer it at all. Don’t promise me 30 minutes if you can’t deliver in 30. Here’s a tip — under promise and over deliver.

Lemon Thai is a puzzling restaurant. From my experience it has good nights and bad nights. Eating in is better then takeout, I would recommend the beef satay, or the massaman curry beef. Good thai iced tea. Watch the delivery guy, if you order drinks, they often seem to be spilled.
Pros:
Cheap
Good location
Easy place to walk in
Casual atmospheres
Cons:
Inconsistent food
Inconsistent service

My roommates and I probably should have our photos on the wall of this place considering how often we ordered from here in college. I still dream about the crispy chicken pad thai and the pad see ew when I try and find another thai option where I currently live. Delivery is usually very prompt and the staff and drivers are amazing. Everytime I am back in wellesley I have to make a stop here.

Long list of lunch specials, and all great deals. I had the chicken and mixed veggies with rice, my sister had a HUGE portion of pad Thai, that she barely made a dent in. I think the bill for lunch was only around $ 18. I would return. the server kept the water flowing and the food came out fast (not too fast, which I am always a little suspicious of). The veggies tasted fresh and crisp and not too greasy or saucy-​goopy. It would be interesting to explore the menu further.

It’s okay! I prefer their pad see ew to their pad thai but I find their food to be much greasier than other thai places. When I get takeout, the oil pours out of the container. Service is attentive and food comes out fast.

It’s midterm/​final times once again and you’re sitting in your dorm at 9:00pm either lamenting the options in the dining hall or cursing life because the closest dining hall as closed two hours ago. Lo and behold, the savior that looms in the night, Lemon Thai’s Country Style Pad Thai.
Words cannot describe the amount of comfort I have gotten through the years from the food at Lemon Thai. They deliver after the dining hall closes and it’s always an amazing feeling when half your floor gets together and collectively orders a haul that inevitably makes all the college stress eating worthwhile.
The food itself is a bit greasy at times and while others will say that it’s subpar compared to nearby Amarin, I actually enjoy Lemon Thai a bit more. Delivery is always prompt and the people that work there are incredibly nice.
All in all, as a former Wellesley College student, Lemon Thai is an experience. Whether it’s taking a break and walking into the Ville for a nice, but still affordable, dining hall break, a late night binge session to begin your all nighter, or a group order to be enjoyed in a common room with friends, Lemon Thai provides.

Huge servings and lots of flavor! Used to order takeout from here all the time and I now remember why, more bang for your buck!
Recently came back after 6 years of neglect, and we ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice, the Pork Larb, Chicken Larb, Tom Yum soup, and Thai Iced Tea. Portions were generous, even the amount of pineapple in the fried rice was plentiful. We couldn’t finish the larb because there was so much meat. The soup was as awesome as I remembered, flavorful and with large chunks of meat and vegetable.
Mango with sticky rice we also couldn’t finish, but it was so delicious.
This place was and is still amazing SWOON.

I was really craving Thai and soup. Thanks Unilocalers for steering me here for take out.
It was late and thankfully Lemon Thai was still opened.
So many have commented on the Pad Thai being the best they’ve had so I ordered the Country Style mild. I figured I’d stay on the safe side since every place has a different hot. Next time I will go with med since I could have gone for a bit hotter.
I like my chicken cut up in to smaller pieces but there was plenty of chicken and shrimp. Mr. G had already eaten and wasn’t hungry but once he saw it he had to try some. Well he ate some and then I found him eating what little leftovers there were for breakfast. I didn’t figure he was eating toast when I saw his chopsticks. He promises me he will get me another order but I think he is really saying he is getting another order.
I also got the Tom Yum Noodle Soup which had lots of ground chicken, noodles, bean sprouts with a great lemon grass broth. The noodles came in a separate container which was nice that they didn’t get soggy.
Since it was so late there were parking places right up front. It only took 10 mins from the time I called for my order to be ready. They do deliver but only in Wellesley, Weston, Natick, Needham and Newton so it looks like I will be drive over for my next order.
They have many options to pick from which may pose as an issue. Hmmm Create your own stir-​fry from 11:30−4 for lunch, soft shell crab, curry dishes, I also love basil fried rice. Ok so maybe I will be going more than once more time.
The place is a bit small on the inside so I can see how this can be more of a take out place but it did have a cozy feel which was welcoming.
