Lemongrass Thai Kitchen

The Write-Up

The full story

A Thai kitchen in an unassuming Lockwood Boulevard plaza, calm and contemporary inside. The Panang duck leads the menu and guests still talk about it months later, joined by whole snapper dinners, lobster phad thai and tamarind shrimp with housemade sauces throughout. Durian ice cream waits for the adventurous.
