Lemongrass Thai Bistro - Adelaide

Honest review here. Went on a Saturday night for dinner about 7pm with my wife. Not really that busy to justify a bad meal, about half full. Ordered fish cake skewers, choo chee chicken, salt pepper squid and jasmine rice for two. Fish cake - big enough serving but I wonder how much fish (or seafood extender?) they put in. It tastes so doughy I think its 90% flour and salt. Bad.  Chicken - Serve size too small given the price. Counted 7 pieces of chicken. Menu says snake beans, I got egg plant. Did they serve me the curry mix instead? Poor. Squid - the worst i've ever tasted.  My wife couldn't eat it - she is of asian background. Squid looked well prepared and was decent serve but my god it was basically just flour - had NO TASTE whatsoever. Couldn't taste salt, pepper or any seasoning for that matter. The jasmine rice was well cooked but if you can imagine the bowls you are given at most asian restaurants to eat your food (the small ones) - then that is what we were given, for two.  Lemongrass at Goodwood - PERFECT. Lemongrass at Rundle St - AVOID unless you like leaving hungry and ripped off.

Nice street ambiance with courteous staff. Food was fresh. I tried some healthy options which were very tasty and wholesome. Price was reasonable too

We had dinner here and it was an overall pleasant experience. I ordered the tom yum soup which was really tasty and a large generous serving. Others ordered the thai fried rice and also enjoyed that. However this place did lack a little in customer service. It took the waitress a little while to take our order and no one was very attentive during our meal. Overall it was a pleasant experience and would recommend for tasty thai food

Awsome place for a sit down dinner. We had no reservation and the staff made room for a table of 6 of us. The Salt and Pepper Crocodile was delicious as an entree, and Phad Thai, Green Curry and Mango Curry were all hits. No complaints at all.
