Many might assume that Thai Lemongrass’ is popular because of their location, but the real reasons are the high quality and low pricing. Their lunch specials range from stir-fried pork to green curry chicken served alongside the soup of the day, and come in such large portions that even the most starving of students might have difficulty finishing them in one sitting. The food is hot, healthy and not too hard on the wallet, which is pretty much the perfect student meal.
