Lemongrass opened in 1989 with the inspiration and support of our then mentor Acharn (Grandlady) Boonchoo who was regarded as the High Priestess of Royal Cuisine in Bangkok. During that time Acharn Boonchoo was the Executive Chef of the Bussaracum chain of restaurants that specialised in Royal Cuisine.

Thank you Michael and the team at Lemongrass for a wonderful evening on Saturday night. Lemongrass has a wonderful ambiance that you don't usually get at a Lygon Street restaurant. The food was superb. It is obvious that you use high-quality ingredients and everything is cooked fresh. The portions were very generous.

Thai is our favourite cuisine, we primarily tried this place thinking we would disprove the giant banners out the front stating AUS second best Thai. Unfortunately I haven't tried the first as this was absolutely amazing. Both my partner and I went home completely satisfied, from serving size, timing and flavour - everything was on point for us.

It was indeed a Royal occasion when a select group of food critics were invited to the 15th anniversary celebrations of The Lemongrass Thai restaurant in Lygon Street Carlton. Now, I am quite prepared to accept Thai food is the product of an ancient and noble gastronomic tradition. For possibly the best Thai Royal Cuisine outside Thailand, Lemongrass, 189 Lygon St, is superb.
