The Most Flavorful Thai in Lexington

Time 4 Thai

★★★★☆ 4.2 (356) • $$

"I absolutely love Thai food so when I heard Time for Thai was the best in town, I had to try it.My husband and I stopped in after church on Sunday. It was around noon but there were already several tables occupied. The restaurant is a decent size but cozy and clean. We were seated immediately and the servers were super nice. I love tofu so we started out with the Golden Triangles app. This was the only disappointment. The tofu was fried well but was otherwise tasteless. For our entrees, my husband and I both chose the Pad Thai since it was our first time here. He had hot and I had medium. The food came out quickly and was piping hot. Y'all, it was so dang good! My shrimp was cooked perfectly and the veggies were nice and crunchy. The medium had a nice heat. I probably could have done hot but I always err on the side of caution when it comes to Thai food!Needless to say, we will be back!"

Bahn Thai and M

★★★★☆ 3.9 (27)

"Ordered takeout @ Bahn Thai and M by my workplace and it was really really tasty. Located in Holiday Manor shopping center, Bahn Thai and M is one of the many prime eateries in the area. Ordering was super convenient and quick. If you're a Thai lover this place will definitely hit the spot. I chose the sampler platter which consisted of 2 chicken spring rolls, 2 pork dumplings, 2 chicken satay skewers and three sauces which were sweet chili sauce, chili soy sauce and peanut sauce. The best part...only $12!!!!! I shared it with a coworker. All three items were amazing. The sauces were delish. I seriously could've licked the peanut sauce off my plate. I will definitely go back."

Taste of Thai

★★★★☆ 3.7 (61) • $$

"Taste of Thai - A Hidden GemLooking for a hidden gem that serves up a culinary masterpiece? Look no further than Taste of Thai! This cozy spot near the university is an absolute treasure trove for food lovers. The highlight of my visit? Their Pad Thai - it's so incredible, it should come with a warning: "May cause uncontrollable cravings!" Each bite is a perfect symphony of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, with just the right crunch from the peanuts. It's like a party in your mouth, and everyone's invited! The portion sizes here are fantastic, and the pricing is just right. You get a generous serving that leaves you feeling full and happy without breaking the bank. In a nutshell, Taste of Thai is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out - your taste buds will thank you!"

Amazing Thai

★★★★★ 4.7 (56)

"They use fresh wide rice noodles instead of rehydrated dry noodles! This is a first in Louisville, I can attest to this because I've looked everywhere. It is more chewy, bouncy and smoother than dried noodles. It is very similar to the Chow fun noodles in dim sum places. So, of course, I loved my pad see ew with beef and gai lan. It is sweet salty w a choice of spice levels. I appreciate places that are willing to offer "Thai Hot" on their spice scale. I got medium so that I can further personalize it with the condiments set brought to the table. The Hainan Chicken I brought home was also yummy. That sauce is awesome.Service was friendly and very efficient. I would definitely come back for the other authentic offerings."

Archa Nine Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (353) • $$

"Visited this establishment on 2/02/25 with another adult.With me having a long list of food sensitivities, I began by asking the waitress about the menu. They do not offer a separate gluten-free menu, but she did advise most items on the menu can be made gluten-free. The waitress was helpful and checked on us several times while we dined.I shared the shrimp summer rolls with my companion, and they were super fresh and delicious. I opted for the Singapore Noodles, without egg, onion, and bean sprouts (all items I cannot consume); it was fresh and had just the right combination of spices and vegetables to round out a good meal.The restaurant's lighting is bright, the decor is contemporary minimalist, with a few booths but mostly tables with padded chairs. Very nice atmosphere."

All Thai'd Up

★★★★☆ 4.4 (52)

"TRULY AUTHENTIC THAI CUISINE!!If you are seeking exceptional Thai food, customer service, and an all around enjoyable dining experience, then All Thai'd Up is the place for you!The owner is extremely knowledgeable about all ingredients in the food. I have numerous food sensitivities, too many to list, and she was able to help me select a beautifully crafted Tom Yum Noodle Soup, followed up with a light and flavorful dessert of Coconut Cream Ice Cream with Jackfruit and Crushed Peanuts. Tom Yum is my go-to soup as its natural ingredients are something I can consume, and this was by far the best I've had in Louisville! The addition of the rice noodles was a lovely treat to create a full meal. The Coconut Cream Ice Cream was so light and tasty, and rounded out a fabulous meal. I am looking forward to returning here!"

Mai Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (72) • $$

"Lunch at Mai Thai today. Sat on the cute little patio under the shade of the tree. Ordered the Pad Thai with chicken. Awesome. Server was exceptional, very friendly. Perfect day. Perfect lunch.79"

Yen Ching Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (79) • $

"My friend and I went to Yen Ching on a whim. It's a very unassuming place, metal tables and some sailor decor. The person at the counter took our orders, I got the seafood boil. The food came out quickly and was delicious."

Bangkok Terrace

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (102) • $$

"Love this place! The Thai fried rice is my fave dish and loaded with meat and veggies (I usually get chicken). The chicken teriyaki is also great as well as the crispy pad Thai. If you're thirsty, get the Thai Iced Tea, it will not disappoint. The mango sticky rice dessert is great when mangos are in season. The owner is really nice and they offer curbside service for To Go orders which is super helpful with a newborn and kids in tow."

Bon Thai Food Truck

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Finally! An authentic Thai food source in Harrodsburg with regular hours. Right in front of Walmart by the barber shop. Great menu with favorite regulars and interesting rotating selections of fresh-made winners. The daily menu is usually posted on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075328642092 . Call ahead and they will have it ready for pick-up when you get there. Even if you just drop by during busy hours it's worth the wait. Now you no longer have to drive to Frankfort or Lexington for quality Thai."

Yum Mi Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (49)

"My first time at Yum Mi. I has it while driving on Charlestown Rd in New Albany. I really like Thai food so I looked up reviews abs the were good. The inside is nice but more importantly the server was very nice. The Pahd Thai was so good. It was different than I had at other places. I like that Yum Mi's includes a fair amount of vegetables. The flavor was amazing. The spice level is 0-5. I ordered a level 3 and it was almost too much for me. It was still very good and I ate it all. The next time I will order level 2. I will be going back and trying more. I highly recommend."

Thai Thai

★★★★☆ 4.2 (122) • $$

"The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my food allergy issues. They identified everything that could cause me problems, and modified the Pad Thai sauce to be allergy free for me. It was incredible tasting, and so kind of them to go to so much trouble. Highly recommend!!!!"

Sawasdee Thai Cuisine & Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.6 (136) • $$

"The BEST pad Thai you will ever eat. Be mindful of the spice scale. Runs a little hot. Lek is amazing."

Lemongrass Cafe and Market

★★★★☆ 3.7 (102) • $

"Listen, Pho is one of my favorite dishes. It's an easy comfort food that is basically impossible to screw up. It's broth,noodles, and a protein. This is probably where you think I'm going to say "this place sucked" or "I had the worst diarrhea". Well my friend, you'd be wrong. The pho was pretty solid. The noodles were a bit skinnier than I'm used to, it it tasted just the same.My wife got some dish I can't pronounce or spell, but it was good, too. My favorite thing we order was the appetizer sampler plate. Crab rangoon, chicken on a stick, spring rolls, and shrimp toast. I didn't even know what shrimp toast was, but I really enjoyed it.This place isn't classy by any means, but the food is good and I would gladly go back."

Hot Wok

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (60) • $

"Hot Wok did not disappoint!! We ordered takeout recently and were really pleased with the overall cost, timeliness, and most importantly, taste! We'll certainly be ordering from Hot Wok again in the future. Loved my Kung Pao dish and wonton soup!"

Thai House

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"Excellent food and service. So glad they are in Lexington too!Between the Lex and Gtown locations I've had 5 or 6 different dishes. All were great."

Red Sun

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (19) • $

"I'm willing to stake my Elite status on their two dishes...only: Shrimp w Chinese Vegetables, Crab Rangoon...and their white rice is not bad, either."

Thai Taste

★★★★☆ 3.7 (121) • $$

"So good! Driving up the place looks pretty basic. Inside was very nice. Attentive and nice staff. Had the Pad Thai with Chicken and it was outstanding. Portions were huge. Food was flavorful and exactly as ordered."

Aloy Mak Thai Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"What a great spot! Our order was freshly prepared and service was fast. The shrimp spring rolls and chicken pad thai were both delicious! We chose the mild spice level and it was very flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. A great addition to the community!"

Mai's Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (138) • $

"I've been wanting to try Mai's Thai pretty much ever since moving to Southern Indiana four years ago and finally decided to go for it today. I had heard rave reviews from people in various social media groups so maybe my expectations were a little higher due to that. I ordered the Pad Prik (beef) and a side salad. The total was $22.25. For one meal. These are prices I would expect to pay when ordering through a food delivery service, not for pick up from a small business. Taste and flavor were good, but nothing spectacular and not spicy at all, even though the description stated it was in a spicy sauce. The salad dressing container was barely half full. Overall, a three as others seem to absolutely love it but I seriously doubt I will eat there again."

East Flavor

★★★★☆ 4.4 (38)

"We were on the hunt for flavor this evening and certainly found that at East Flavor. We were particularly in the mood for some good Thai food which made searching the monstrous menu here less daunting. The restaurant itself has a warm, cozy feel; although, it still has remnants of the old Italian paintings hanging so it feels a little off with the latest venue. We started with the assorted tempura which was very good. I'd like a little more zing in the dip tho- maybe some ginger? For entrees my husband chose The King and I, and I have to say this was the standout dish. It was so flavorful with the perfect amount of spice and heat. We both loved it. I chose the drunken beef noodles and this was also very good. This is more of a comfort dish and loses a little luster when eating other spicy foods but as a dish on its own it's very good and I would get it again. I'm happy we stopped in here and definitely recommend it!"

Thai Smile

★★★★☆ 4.3 (165) • $

"The best Thai food I have ever eaten!The staff is helpful and met all our needs.We had several entrees and all of them were delicious."

Thai Street Food Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (197) • $$

"Taste 10/10 - Chicken Pad Thai. Although the medium spice level was a bit hotter than mediums I've ordered elsewhereFriendliness 15/10 - Owner (?) is a wonderful and welcoming, and offered my toddler a full sized Thai chocolate bar after assuring she had no allergiesPrice 8/10 - Portion somewhat small for the priceI'll definitely make a return trip with my husband to try other enticing menu items!"

Nat's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (122) • $

"O.M.G....I have found the authentic Thai restaurant in Kentucky -- Nat's is it!!Nat's is a very unassuming lil takeout only restaurant tucked into the side of McCarthy's Irish Bar and shares a front entrance with an Irish gift shop. It sounds odd, but totally worked! My friend and I walked up one afternoon, ordered food inside the restaurant, was told by the owner to "go next door, order a drink and he will bring the food over". We went to McCarthy's, ordered a couple of Pepsi and sat in the cutest nook by the window. Our orders arrived soon: Kobe beef grapao, shrimp salad. Wow! The flavors are sharp, distinct and intense, like Thai flavors are supposed to be. I would say the grapao's spice level is about medium for me. The salad was so spicy that I couldn't finish it. If you have the tendency to want "Thai Hot" in your dishes, this is the place that can serve it up! If you look at the photos poated by other Yelpers, you'll see many other special menu items not found at any other local Thai places. i cannot wait to come back for them!Btw, there is also a nice courtyard next door w available seating during warmer months."

Asiana Thai and Sushi of Hyde Park

★★★★★ 4.6 (660) • $$

"The three of us lived in Hyde Park or Pleasant Ridge for decades, driving often by Asiana and never stopping. Last night, that changed, and we will all be stopping again, frequently! The sushi is fresh and world class and the housemade rice noodles are as good as Greg, the owner with his wife, promised. Even though they were busy, they were happy to prepare this vegetarian's Massamun curry without fish sauce. Everything we ordered was delectable and we loved that Greg took time to stop at our table, tell their story and offer recommendations from their sizable, well-priced Thai and sushi menu. The dining room is small, but the tables turned pretty quickly and they clearly do a big carry out business. One thing to note: it's BYOB, although our server cheerfully provided glasses and an opener. Wine Merchant is at the end of the block with a great selection, including a dry riesling that paired well with our meal."

OSHA Thai Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (17)

"Nice meal in downtown Lexington while walking around before a concert Friendly service food & drinks came out right awayLoved my drunken noodles and spice level medium was just right Friend enjoyed the mango pad ThaiThanks for great meal"

Chinstar Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (10)

"Delicious! The dish arrived with a tantalizing aroma of freshly minced garlic. Each tender chicken piece was coated in a fragrant garlic sauce that struck the perfect balance. Cozy atmosphere and terrific service. I'll be back!"

Simply Thai

★★★★☆ 3.7 (540) • $$

"Simply Thai is incredible! The vibe is very casual. Chill lo-fi beats in the bar area where we waited for takeout.The guy running the register was super helpful! He knew the ingredients of every dish and was able to help us meet our dietary needs.Highly recommended for gluten free, df, egg free, vegan! They can make everything on the menu (except for things that are fried and the yellow curry) gluten free!! As far as vegan, they will sub out proteins and use coconut milk to make any dish vegetarian or vegan!"

Bangkok House

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (92) • $$

"This Thai restaurant is within walking distance from Memorial Coliseum and serves authentic and tasty cuisine. We arrived around 6:40p on. Friday night. Even though they normally seat and serve immediately, there was a shortage of staff this night. We had to wait a good while before we were seated. Then, there was additional 10 min wait before we were served water or asked about drinks. However, once our order was taken, the food came really quickly and was piping hot. The vegetarian eggroll, filled with cabbage and carrots, was fresh and fried crispy. The outer portion was not too thick or hard, which is just the way that I prefer my egg rolls. Any much perusing of the menu, I chose the basil chicken with a "hot" spicy level. I also ordered a Thai Ice tea, which comes with cream. The cream helps to neutralize the spicy food. So that you can actually taste the flavors without you mouth being "on fire" from the spiciness. I really enjoyed my dining experience. I realize that our extra wait was because the restaurant was severely understaffed that night. I would love to try other dishes on future visits to Lexington."

A Chau Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (125) • $

"This is pho king amazing. I've been in the market for a favorite pho place for a while now. This is it. The portions are very generous and the broth is divine. Ingredients were fresh. I asked for extra basil and got a giant handful. Family run by friendly, helpful people."

Cathay Kitchen Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (126) • $$

"The food here is a grade or two above the typical Chinese fare. The service has always been good and friendly and the restaurant is clean."

Mai Thai

★★★★☆ 4.4 (427) • $$

"One of our favorite places to dine. Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Have tried so many items and everything had been so good."

Thai Garden

★★★★☆ 4.2 (89) • $

"Some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life!Before this, I had only tried Thai maybe one other time. My husband was really wanting to get some tonight so I agreed to try it again and I'm so glad I did.I got the pad Thai with chicken & shrimp. Ahhhhh-mazzzzing!The egg rolls are also delicious! We called ahead and our order was ready when they'd said it would be.Also very affordable we felt like.Thumbs up!"

Thai Tea House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (40) • $$

"It's taken me way too long to try Thai Tea House but I finally got there and loved it!! The service was excellent as you were greeted first thing and instructed on how to order. The food was sooo good. I wanted to try tofu so I got the fried tofu appetizer and the massaman curry with chicken for my meal. I also tried the passion fruit soda, which I really liked. I found out I do enjoy tofu so I might try the curry next time with tofu instead of chicken because I loved the curry and figured I might as well combine the two. This was also waaaay too much food for one person but I love trying new things at new to me places. The massaman curry has peanuts in it, which I also loved. I didn't get any heat on mine because I'm a wimp but it definitely had great flavor. My family will definitely be going back."

Sabaidee Lao & Thai Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.9 (40)

"I recently dined at Sabaidee Lao & Thai Cuisine and had an outstanding experience! I ordered the Pad Kee Mao, and it was absolutely fantastic. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the presentation was impressive.The service was amazing from start to finish. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive.The ambiance of the restaurant was soft and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The decor was tasteful, and the overall atmosphere added to the enjoyment of the evening.I highly recommend Sabaidee Lao & Thai Cuisine for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Thai food in a welcoming environment. I will definitely be returning!"
