Lemon Thai Cuisine
About This Spot
Stepping into Lemon Thai Cuisine feels like finding a quiet corner of Southeast Asia tucked into the lively streets of Somerville. The rhythm here is easygoing — a relaxed neighborhood spot where the hum of conversation blends effortlessly with the friendly smiles exchanged from kitchen to table. It’s the kind of place where time slows just enough for you to settle in and savor the unfolding layers of flavor and warmth.
The atmosphere is understated but welcoming, reflecting the genuine care that goes into every dish served. Whether you’re popping in for a quick takeout or settling down for a casual meal, you’ll notice the approachable vibe that invites you to return again and again. The menu strikes a balance between traditional Thai comforts and thoughtful adaptations, making it both familiar and invitingly fresh.
As you explore the offerings, you might find yourself drawn to dishes where fragrant spices mingle with vibrant vegetables or where a rich peanut sauce brings a subtle creaminess to lightly fried chicken. The flavors are carefully layered without overwhelming, letting each ingredient tell a part of the story — from tender chicken and crispy tofu to the bright zing of fresh herbs and the soothing sweetness of a Thai iced tea. It’s this harmony of elements that turns a meal here into something quietly memorable.
Behind the scenes, the staff’s attentiveness adds to the experience without ever feeling intrusive. Their steady dedication creates a space that feels known and cared for, even in the middle of a busy week. It’s a place where locals return not just for the food, but for the ease and consistency that make every visit feel like coming home.

Tasty Thai at reasonable prices. I love the Pad See Ew here. Simple with no pesky onions to bother you. broccoli hunks could be smaller but I still ate them.

I've been a couple times now and this is a great spot to get some tasty take out. Good portion sizes, good selection without being overwhelming. Will be coming again!

Absolutely love it here. We call or order online & pay then pick up our orders, it's always easy. We've ordered it over a dozen times the past couple of years-always consistent, GREAT food, always very courteous and hard working staff, always very prompt. It's been terrific. Some of the things we've tried are their Pad Thai, Indonesian Rice, Chicken Satay -all delicious and flavorful. Much better pad thai than all other places I've tried so far. The chicken satay is grilled, easy to eat skewers to dip in the accompanying peanut sauce dip. The Indonesian rice is like nothing I've had anywhere, SO good. It's a gorgeous bed of flavorful rice accompanied by crispy chicken(great crispy chicken!) and/or veggies: broccoli, grean beans, onions, sprouts, baby corn. I absolutely recommend trying things on their menu that sound good to you & enjoy.

My favorite pad Thai - and it is so reasonably priced with a large portion size. I used to live in the area and now will drive 30 minutes just to get it. No frills Thai spot with the best flavor, price and value.

Got the pad thai minus eggs, spring rolls and veggie dumplings. Have no complaints. Everything was very hot from delivery to my place and amazing portions. I’m very picky with my pad thai, but perfect amount of flavors! Glad to have found my new go-to thai restaurant for a very decent price
