"Nothing like Thai food"

If you like Thai food you will likely regret coming here, we had a very disappointing experience - not even the regulation Thai green curry was right. This unrecognisable dish had just chunks of meat in coconut gravy, completely lacking kaffir lime or eggplant, and almost no trace of basil. The gravy even had a strange hint of pepper.

The Tom Yam soup was short of the characteristic rich flavour & fragrance, only the laab kai was roughly decent but only in the sense that ingredients were not missing. This all after having ordered a Pad Thai as one of the dishes and been brought fried rice by mistake. This place used to be good but has gone really downhill in the last few years. I would recommend going somewhere else such as Modry Zub in Spalena, or Noi.
"Stuffet"

A stuffet is my name for a buffet where you leave stuffed.

Today I had sunday stuffet with friends at Lemon Leaf. The food was thai (in a non-spicy variant) and rather satisfying. The choice could have been larger, but no major grumbles - since I ate pretty much everything on offer and enjoyed it very much.

The stuffet is 199kc, which I would rank as quite good value.

And I had a bottle of Drmola Sauvignon 2006 - for 249kc. It reminded me rather of a hybrid between a Binders Sauvignon 2005 and a Barabas Sauivgnon 2006 - although slightly more earthy and a little less fruity. Still, at about half the price, a good find.

I was in Lemon Leaf once. I'm not a gastronomy expert. I know if I like something or not. In that day, it was Ok. Just that. For the prices, it's a little bit short. Service was poor. Perhaps that's why I never came back.

Had a very nice meal here. Good spring rolls, nice green curry and decent service. Very good value for money too. Try it.

I was here last week with a friend visiting from Ireland. She is vegetarian and was happy with the selection on offer, which is more varied than many menus in Prague. I am not vegetarian. I thought the food was common or garden Thai fare. Not very special but adequate and what you would expect from a Thai restaurant. What I loved about the place was the decor, the large windows and high ceilings, lots of plants, spaciousness and generally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. A nice mix of modernity and old fashioned elegance. The staff were among the best I've come across after four years living in this city where the level of service still disappoints many times, unfortunately. They were genuinely friendly and reassuringly pleasant, courteous, welcoming and prompt as well. So overall very worthwhile, pleasant and comfortable and reasonably priced restaurant to visit.

Disappointed in the Massaman curry (as always, in Prague), but quite enjoy coming here. There is a little too much lime in the noodles (luckily, I wasn't the one who chose this!) but friendly and comofortable.
"Lemon Leaf - Pleasant & Fresh"

I enjoyed a very nice lunch at the Lemon Leaf Restaraunt. This is a daily favorite of many expats who gather for coffee and a chat. The menu was an eclectic mix of Thai standards and International options, generally healthy and more than occassional vegetarian and/or spicy selection. I opted for the lunch special. 139kc bought a hearty bowl of beef & vegetable soup, chicken/pork on a skewer with a creamy sauce, and a large portion of roasted rosemary potatoes. This is another restaraunt where the staff should be commended for being friendly and attentive. I dined al-fresco so I didn't really pay much attention to the relaxing music and cleverly lit interior but I am sure I would've enjoyed the inside on a cold winter's day. Representing superb value for the dollar, tasty & fresh dishes, and friendly service, there simply isn't much more one can expect from a super restaraunt.

This posh restaurant has a variety of delicious Thai soups, salads, pad thai and other dishes. The one odd thing is that two tables are about ten times as comfortable as the rest of the tables in the restaurant! These two tables have comfortable green couches. Wherever you sit, try the spring rolls, and one of the soups. Skip the chicken satay. This restaurant may be more enjoyable for those with more cash; however, if you stick to ordering a yummy salad or other small dish, you will not break your budget. I do not recommend this restaurant for vegans, but vegetarians should be happy.
"Resonably Priced Thai"

The Thai restaurant that everyone knows. Very nice place for a date or for when “mom and dad” come to visit. Elegant without being stuffy, the atmosphere and food compliment each other perfectly. With a wide variety of dishes, the food here is very fresh and flavorful.
The Masaman curry was delicious, the jasmine rice was fluffy and fragrant. The menu has some standard steaks and pastas in addition to the Thai offerings, if you and your fellow diners can´t decide. The spring rolls were crisp and tasty and the chicken meatballs, they were so good our table had a second order!
This was an early entry to the Thai scene in Prague and still one of the good ones.
