Lemon Leaves

I am super picky and this place is REALLY good. Surprisingly good, especially when I picked it randomly off Seamless web. I usually expect mediocre food when I've never tried the restaurant before; Lemon Leaves highly exceeded my expectations. Now I want to order more. I only wish they were open past 10pm! :) The crab rangoons are delicious. The thai iced tea is good as well, sweet, but not too sweet.

nice large portion, but overall i was not impressed. ordered the thai basil with tofu and upon opening saw a layer of oil. when i've ordered this dish at other restaurants in the past, it's a light, healthy meal with a fantastic taste. what i got from lemon leaves just veggies, fried tofu, rice and oil. almost a burnt taste. there was a nice assortment of veggies though, rice was cooked very well.

We were sad when Lemongrass went out of business. It was on our weekly rotation. If you were a fan of Lemongrass, you'll be happy to know this is the same high quality food. So far I've had the steamed mixed vegetables in peanut sauce, pad thai with chicken, and sweet and sour chicken. All were delicious. The steamed veggies are done just right, not overcooked. I read another review that the pad thai noodles were a little mushy but I have not had that experience. I highly recommend Lemon Leaves.

Chicken wings cold, stale and flavorless. Chinese broccoli's sauce was bitter and quality of the vegetables poor -- all stringy leaves and few stems.

Ordered the Noodle Mao with chicken and the Cucumber Salad - neither of which are anything to rave about. The rice noodles were a little bit chewy and the flavor of the whole dish was blander than I was expecting. There's definitely better places to order from in the area.

Tom Yum soup was ok, but the eggplant, tofu & basil was terrible. I specifically asked for only tofu, broccoli and eggplant and it came with many other veggies and very, very oily and salty. It was very spicy(which is what made it edible), but didn't have a good flavor or overall taste. Would not order from here again.

No napkins silverware or plates with my order, despite the fact that I asked for it.

I ordered Pad Thai Rice Noodles with an egg and chicken. The noodles and the egg were eatable, but the chicken was disgusting. The chicken tasted old. I would not be returning there as a customer. Delivery was fast (15-20 min)

This food was God awful! It tasted like they put ketchup in the Thai Fried Rice. It also tasted old and not freshly cooked. AND the "salad" they set me was syrupy dipping sauce with cucumbers floating in it! DON'T EVER ORDER HERE!

ordered from here a few times. This place is pretty good. I loved the Som tam salad and the Thai Rice. Also, not too heavy. Would recommend.

I hate to give such a poor review, considering food was the best thai I've had in Financial, but the delivery service was terrible. The delivery guy called upon arrival, refusing to bring the food up to the apartment, and when I got downstairs, he wasn't even inside the lobby, but outside on the sidewalk sitting on his bike. Sort of defeats the point of delivery...

I ordered the sweet basil tofu. The tofu was extremely hard and the dish very salty. Not worth it!
