Reviews for NAT'S in Lexington, KY
Pretty good food for a great price point. The food was flavorful and the proportion was huge (a lot of rice for the pork salad... and shrimp+herbs). My favorite had to be the special pork basil with fried egg. Be patient when ordering, when we finally got totry the place, it was just one staff. We?ll definitely be back. Side note: My husband and I have been wanting to try Nat?s fora while. It just never seemed to be in our cards. Last week, we tried coming on two separate ocassions in the evening (around7pm) but they were closed both days. I checked their Facebook/Google page to see if I misread the time but it seems they wererandomly closed. Read more
NAT's, a downtown Lexington self-named Thai takeout, nestled between McCarthy's Irish Bar and Harvey's, serves some of the most... delicious dishes we've tasted. Nat (chef and owner) overcomes the equipment challenges by preparing mostly curry and soupdishes (known as "Kao Geang" ). That Kobe basil is on point. The Tom Yum gai is authentically sour and spicy, perfect for a fallnight out. Inspired by unique ingredients, he never stops serving innovative and probably one-time dishes, like the Watermeloncurry chicken. Though the restaurant doesn't have its own dining room, his customers can enjoy the dishes in the outdoorseating area that's shared with the Irish Bar. Read more
It?s just so-so. There are a lot better Thai restaurants in town. I ordered Kobe Basil and Tom Yum soup to go. But when I got... home, the soup was not Tom Yum soup. It was just spicy chicken soup (their Soup of the day). When they took order, they didn?teven ask for spicy level or confirm the order properly. Seems like they just gave me whatever soup they got. Very disappointed.Definitely won?t go back there again. Read more
Did not know this place existed until my friend who's visiting from NYC told me to meet there. They do have dine in seating but... you need to get in from Irish Bar and walk to the backyard to get 3 table that's available for Nat's. Food was amazing, 100%authentic Thai food. There's no better Thai food in Lexington. This will be our go to place for Thai food. Amazing stuff ?????? Read more
I rarely go out for Thai food because, since I'm Thai, I pretty much cook Thai at home. Friends, however, often ask me for... recommendations, and I think Nat's will have to be at the top of my list from now on. We went for the first time recently, andmy husband has not stopped talking about going back. He got the Kobe beef and basil and loved it. I got Tom ka shrimp and a Thaipapaya salad that was just wonderful. Since we were the only ones there and decided to wait for our food to be cooked, wechatted with everyone working there including Nat. They were friendly, generous, conversational and super interesting. I have nodoubts we will be back. Highly recommend that all Lexingtonians try this place at least once. Read more
Amazing food, friendly staff. One of my favorite places in Lexington. The interior is so small that you can't open the door and... stand inside at the same time, but there is seating all around the exterior. Prices are not bad, especially given the generousportion sizes. Read more
We love Nat's! If you find yourself enjoying the Irish Public House next door (McCarthy's), you can just ask your friendly... bartender for a menu. The staff of Nat's will come over, take your oder, and even bring it to you! How convenient is that? Theyshare a lovely back patio with McCarthy's so grab a pint, some grub, and enjoy a little piece of heaven in downtownLexington! If you opt to get it to go, they will box it up for you. I suggest the pad thai. It's beautifully balanced betweensweet sauce and warm peanuts is definitely something to write home about! Read more
Got an order of fish and chips delivered next door to McCarthy?s while watching the UK game. The portion was decent - 3 small... pieces of fish and fries filling most of the rest of the box - and the quality was good. At $12 I feel it may have been acouple dollars overpriced, but it?s a great service to have delivery next door, and I?d be curious to try their Thai food! Read more
