In our trip to Las Vegas we were getting together with good friends and celebrating. For this celebratory evening, we chose a Thai restaurant since both our families like thai cuisine.  Hence we dined in Lemongrass, the Thai restaurant located on the casino level of Aria Resort and Casino.

Lemongrass offers a wide variety of authentic Thai dishes besides other Asian cuisines. The ambience and atmosphere is modern and casual. We were seated in the alcove near the entrance since we were a large party.

Since all of us like Thai food, we all have an understanding and fondness for some of the authentic Thai dishes which we proceeded to order. For appetizer we ordered Chicken Satay, Beef  Satay, Chicken Wings and Tom Yam Hed Soup.  The Beef Satay and Tom Yam Hed soup were delicious.

We ordered family style to share for the entrees. The Green Curry with chicken and Panang Red curry with tofu were simply amazing. We also ordered couple of plates Pad Thai noodles and Pad see-ew flat rice noodles, and vegetable rice, all these dishes were also good.

While we drank Thai iced tea, our friends had some wine, green tea, and kids had sodas. All of us were happy with our choice of beverage.

Interestingly when we were checking out some reviews of this restaurant before we dined here; we had read the food was ok but the service and ambiance was good. But we had an opposite experience with us. All the dishes we ordered off the menu were excellent and delicious, but we were not happy with the service at this place at all. The wait staff messed up the order and didn’t bring in all the things ordered;  the lady was pushing other things on the menu;  nor were they courteous or apologetic about mistakes made by them.  But since we were in a celebratory mode, we ignored this and enjoyed the food and ambiance in the company of friends.

Lastly we ended the evening with desserts from
