Reviews for Taste of Thai in Lexington, KY
Been coming here for a couple of years. These guys have the best Thai food! So fresh and authentic to the culture. If you love... spicy just ask. If you want a substitution they're usually able to oblige. This is one of Lexington's best kept secrets. Read more
This place has good food. I had a red curry chicken entree in coconut milk with basil. They exchanged the vegetables that... usually comes with the meal for broccoli. It was good. The unfortunate thing I witnessed was seeing them send more than oneparty away for seated dining. They were informed they were only taking to go orders. Both parties walked out. More than an hourbefore closing. Understaffed and I heard the kitchen staff wanted to go home. WOW!!! Not really fair to the gentleman waitingtables. His income is decreased also the restaurant lost sales. Not fair to the guests that wasted their time and gas to getthere One party had at least 4 hungry potential customers. I watched amazed how customers were sent away to appease kitchenstaff. Read more
I'm sure the restaurant would be just fine if you arrived during a time that wasn't busy. We happened to be there during a large... convention. There are only a handful of tables (about 6), one of which was in a separate room for a large group (maybe 10people). Needless to say, all the tables were taken. We found some outdoor seating at a bar around the corner that allowed us toeat there. Again, the restaurant was tiny. They had one employee working the front (waiter, bus boy, cashier, everything) and Ithink only one person was working on the back (cook, dish washer, etc). We could see the place was busy, so we asked what theapproximate wait would be before we ordered. The waiter said 30-40 minutes. We do realize this is not a science but a simpleestimation. It took more that 1.5 hours to get our food. Eating at the bar ended up being terrible. We were down wind from allthe smokers at the bar. Eventually a homeless man that clearly had schizophrenia sat near us. He was continuously talking tohimself in aggressive language. He scared the kids so we had to exit quickly before everyone was done eating. The food was good,but not phenomenal. My curry was served scalding hot (temperature not spiciness). I burned my tongue pretty good. The Pad Thaiand Pad See Ew were both good but not nearly the best I've had. I also heard from others that this place was just as busy beforethe convention started. That being said, the food was not worth the wait. Maybe I'd consider coming again if I had lots of time,and I knew I'd be ordering to pickup and eat at home. Otherwise, I'd probably not come back.

The food was good; but the wait time was long! To be fair we went on a day when there was a lot of people! I recommend the Pad... See Eaw! Read more
Love this Thai restaurant in downtown Lexington. Good quality of foods and staff are very friendly.
Delicious food, reasonable prices, and a very cute downtown location. Very friendly waiter (seen in one of the pictures), and... the chef accommodated request for no cilantro in any of the dishes. All dishes were made fresh to order, and had different heatlevels per request. Read more
Small space with convenient location and reasonable prices. Menu spans noodle dishes, stir fry, fried rice and curry choices ... Vegetarian and meat. Our dishes were served quickly and were freshly made. Both were tasty. Shown is ginger chicken stir fry Service was good. Read more
Let me tell you if this place had closed due to covid I would've mourned. Because it is the best Thai food you'll ever eat. It's... nestled on the cornered, small inside, but has an attached extra room. Always clean and the owner--bless her heart is thesweetest lady. The pad Thai is out of this world, but I also recommend the won ton soup. Especially if it's cold or ifallergies are getting you down. The iced green tea she makes is also tasty. So please go show support! They deserve it. Read more
