Lemonleaf Grill, Hicksville- A Nostalgic Thai Dining Experience

Growing up, one of my fondest memories was visiting this Thai restaurant with my dad. Anytime I crave Thai food, it’s the first place that comes to mind. Unfortunately, it’s not close to my house, so I don’t get to visit as often as I’d like.

Recently, I stopped by and ordered everything I used to get as a kid, and to my delight, it was even better than I remembered.

The glass noodle soup was as comforting as ever. Light in flavor, so, if you're looking for something with more of a kick, I’d recommend the Tom Yum, which is my absolute favorite! But on this visit, nostalgia won.

Of course, I had to get the chicken satay, and it did not disappoint. The portion was generous, with four large skewers accompanied by two delicious sauces.

Next was the calamari salad, a longtime favorite of mine. Not many Thai restaurants have this on their menu, which makes it even more special. The flavors were just as I remembered, though some pieces of calamari were a bit tough while others were perfect.

Aside from that minor inconsistency, everything was fantastic! The food arrived incredibly fast, my waitress was kind, and the overall experience was wonderful. This is a low-key, no-frills spot with consistently great food. No matter how much time passes, it remains a beloved go-to for me, and I can’t wait for my next visit!
