    What is Lemon Grass Restaurant?

    Established in 1994, Lemon Grass Restaurant has been delivering an outstanding fine dining experience for over 30 years. Owned by husband-and-wife Max and Pook Chutinthranond, Lemon Grass’ menu draws inspiration from the couple’s shared roots in Bangkok, offering a delicious fusion of Southeast Asian flavors. Its location within the bustling Armory Square district makes it the perfect stop for lunch or dinner before heading out to explore Syracuse’s nightlife.

    What to Expect at Lemon Grass Restaurant

    Each dish at Lemon Grass is crafted with care. Instead of delivering exclusively authentic Thai food, the menu offers a unique blend of flavors, bringing together a variety of Southeast Asian influences. In addition to a variety of delicious classic Thai curries, as well as steak and duck options, the menu is very seafood forward. Such offerings include a King Roll stuffed with fresh crab meat inspired by a spring roll cart from Max’s youth, and other mouth-watering shrimp, lobster, tuna and scallop dishes.

    The restaurant’s chic, sophisticated interior makes it a great spot for special occasions or a classy date night. The best way to round out your celebration is with a decadent sweet treat off of Lemon Grass’ dessert menu. The Lost Slipper features a chocolate stiletto heel topped with a variety of mousses and prickly pear sorbet.
