A front-runner in the city's new crop of Asian places, Lemon Leaf serves a long list of Thai classics to an appreciative, dedicated clientele. Airy and luminous, with big pots of plants, tall windows, and funky lamps, Lemon Leaf provides a solid alternative to European cuisine for lunch or dinner. Crunchy spring rolls and traditional Thai soups reeling with flavor are essential openers to one of the noodle dishes or spicy curries, but keep an eye on the little flame symbols in the menu that denote the hotness of dishes.

Hyped as the best Thai in town- I was sadly disappointed by gooey sauces and sad communist era locale and work ethic.
If you dont mind flies keeping you company while you dine it's just right.
Do yourself a favor and miss this one- the sausage stand on any corner will give you much better value for your money
