So, I can see why Lemongrass gets consistently brought up when people ask for Chinese food recommendations in RI.
We haven't dined in here, but I would like to! The exterior before you walk in the restaurant is unassuming, but the lobby area seems nice. There's a cotton candy machine for $5 and I read that there are robot waiters here.
Anyways, this is review for their takeout... We've ordered the same thing twice now (two separate occasions! Not 6 dishes for one trip.)
We ordered the House Special Pad Thai, House Special Combination Cantonese Noodle, and the Walnut Shrimp. A pad thai, chow fun/Cantonese stir fry (wide flat noodles), and a meat dish is usually what I like to order at Chinese restaurants.
Pad Thai- I like it and it is what I expect from restaurant pad thai! However, one time the order had the noodles kind of broken into smaller pieces in the takeout box. Another, they forgot the fish sauce and peanut bits. For the pad thai, the fish sauce is necessary for the flavor... otherwise it is somewhat bland.
Cantonese Noodle- again, as expected. I like it.
Walnut Shrimp- it's very good and we like that they don't skimp on the shrimp.
Customer service: it is fine.
The flavor, quality, and portion sizes of the food that we've ordered is on-par and meets expectations. Also, the website didn't work last time (maybe someone forgot to pay a server fee or something?) Consistency needs a little more work, and I'm happy to be a repeat customer, so 4 stars.
