"So today is Dec. 21st, and probably one of the busiest restaurant weekends of the year. I called Thai Nine around 10:45 a.m. to confirm our 5:30 p.m. reservation for our office Christmas party (a reservation that I made on October 31st. The young lady who answered couldn 't find the reservation and told me that she would have the mgr. call me when she got it (which would be ' ANY MINUTE. ' So of course, I anxiously await the call because, as I said before, today is going to be one of the busiest restaurant weekends for the year I 'm sure our office isn 't the only one wanting to take the employees out for dinner/party just before the holiday. About 45 minutes later, still no call, so I call back and ask for the mgr. I 'm told she 's in, but she 's too busy to speak with me. They were just opening up and had to prepare for lunch. Seriously... are you kidding me? I 'm told that I can leave my name and number, and she 'll call me back, to which I replied, I already did that. So in a panic, I get off the phone and start searching for an alternate place for us to enjoy a meal. I call the Melting Pot (great food there, BTW, explain my dilemma, and I 'm told that they could get our group of 22 in one of their party rooms if we can get there by 5pm. I tell them book us, and asked for an email confirmation which I was happily provided. Ok so maybe I should have called before the DAY OF our party to confirm, but I guess I expected more from a restaurant such as Thai Nine than the jilt I got. Might I add, I rec 'd a phone message from the mgr. while I was on the phone with the Melting Pot she couldn 't find our reservation, and there was no way they could accommodate us. No apology, no 'maybe we could seat you separately, ' or 'maybe if you came in earlier or later, ' nothing. Wow customer service was definitely lacking. My husband and I have been to Thai Nine on a handful of occasions, and always enjoyed the food, but I can promise, they will NEVER see our faces in that restaurant again. Complete FAIL on their part."

"A Flavor journey To Thailand in Lemongrass Brooklyn. Step into Lemongrass Brooklyn and you will find yourself instantly transported to the heart of Thailand. My recent visit to this hidden gem left me completely enamored and compelled to share my delightful experience. Upon entering Lemongrass Brooklyn, I was instantly captivated by its charming ambiance, adorned with beautiful Thai Decor and warm welcoming hues. The friendly staff greeted me with genuine smile. The menus offered an impressive selection of classic Thai dishes, making it hard to choose just a few. But fortunately with the help of their friendly and knowledgeable stuff , i finally settles on some dish they recommended. Their cocktail menu was inventive. We order the Coconut Mojito and Watermelon Margarita. It was beautifully decorated. The culinary adventure began with a choice of traditional Thai Starter . I couldn't resist trying the satay chicken, and it certainly did not disappoint. The marination was exceptional, the sauce come with it was so good. Next we order the Fried Shrimp Dumpling . What truly set these Fried dumpling was the ingenious combination of textures. The outside boasted the perfect crunch, while the inside held a tender and juicy shrimp filling that won a pleasure to savor. Moving on to the main entrees. The whole Red Snapper Deep Fried with Thai Chili Garlic Sauce. The fish was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. The Thai Garlic sauce had just the right balance of heat, sweetness and tanginess , making each bite a burst of delighful flavors. Next up was from Lemongrass Grill Special Menu. We order Oceans Four. It comes with Jumbo shrimp, squid , scallop and big mussel with coconut milk , basil leaves, string bean, pineapples and pepper in penang curry sauce. It was so yummy. Throughout the meal , the staff remained attentive, ensuring my dining experience was nothing sort of exceptional. And then came the grand Finale. The Mango with Sticky rice. Fresh slice of ripe mangoes were accompanied by a generous serving of coconut infuse sticky rice providing a delightful contrast of sweet and savory. It was the ideal conclusion to an already exquisite meal. I eagerly look forward to my next visit."
