DESCRIPTION

Welcome to LemonGrass Cafe, a delightful Thai culinary gem nestled in the heart of Moline, Illinois. Located at 1419 5th Avenue, this restaurant has carved a niche for itself among local food enthusiasts. The inviting atmosphere and dedicated staff create the perfect setting for enjoying authentic Thai cuisine.

The first thing that stands out at LemonGrass Cafe is the genuine warmth of the service.

    First-time diners here. Very tasty food, and I'm not a big Asian cuisine person. Wait staff were pleasant and responsive, almost to the point of clairvoyance. We'll try to make it back here sometime when we are again in Moline.

    Glad I finally came here. I've been told it's excellent and yes it's true. I'm sure to be back. Loved my coconut soup.

    From the greeting by the staff to the farewell, "Thank you so much," the place was very friendly and welcoming. We visited at the end of the lunch service, as the busy weekday working people headed back to work. We were impressed with the servers efficiency and incredible attention to cleanliness after every customer left. The food was very tasty. The green curry was advertised as spicy, and it definitely was. My wife had the Pad Thai which was good for someone who didn't want intensely spiced food. They serve many local craft beers. For those that are in a hurry this is a great stop, and if you have time to savor the flavors and the brews you will not be disappointed.

    The staff is so sweet. They rush to the reception podium to greet you. They check on you to make sure you are doing well and are attentive to body language (when your drink is close to empty, food, check, etc.) The food is authentic. The perfect amount of spicy.

    Lemongrass Cafe is a hidden gem! The vibrant flavors of their Thai-inspired dishes burst with freshness, and the lemongrass chicken is a must-try. Cozy ambiance, friendly staff, and perfect portions make every visit a delight. Five stars!

    What a great find! We were in Illinois for the morning and before we left, we found LemonGrass Cafe for lunch. We all love Thai food and decided to try it out. The food was delicious! We ate the chicken potstickers too quickly, so no picture, but highly recommend. We shared the Pad Thai with Tofu and my friends shared the Pad Woon Sen with chicken. All super amazing and I wish this place was closer so I could go again. The Vietnamese coffee was also the best cup of coffee I had today (roadtrip)

    Everything we had tasted incredibly fresh. All of the veggies were amazing. The food had just enough heat to make it enjoyable. If you are looking for quality Asian Food, you don't have to look any further. The service was excellent. Very attentive and friendly.
