Taste of Thai - Lexington: Authentic Thai Cuisine in the Heart of Downtown

This Thai restaurant is located right in the heart of downtown and it was amazing. My friends and I got ourselves Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Fried Rice and all the dishes were amazing! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to have some Thai food.

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 heat levels per request.

The food was great and came out fast. I have not had mango sticky rice that good since I was in Phucket. I got mild green curry, mango sticky rice the mangoes were the perfect ripeness and pad Thai to go. Serving sizes were also great I left very full and took half my curry home.

I've driven by this place for years, but tonight afforded me the opportunity to dine in with my son...the fish cake appetizers were quite good with a unique lime and chili flavor....I had the Thai fried rice (excellent flavor and spice) while my son had the chicken curry (excellent flavor, maybe a bit spicy for his taste).....the food and service are top notch, while the restaurant itself could benefit from a "face lift".....it does present itself as *quaint"......

I tried the new Taste of Thai beef noodle soup today, and wow—it’s the best I’ve had in Lexington! The flavor was amazing, and I didn’t leave a single drop. Highly recommended!

10.16.2024: We ended up at this restaurant after the restaurant we went to was randomly closed. We hadn’t been here before and my husband was craving Thai food. I am so glad the other restaurant was closed. The service was fast and friendly but the star was the food. My husband got the Pad Thai and it was good. I got the Massaman Curry and “oh my god” literally came out of my mouth when I tasted that curry. I had my husband try it and he said the same thing. No joke! We sat there and continued to eat. My husband asked for another taste (Actually more than one). After a bite he said “I think that is one of the best dishes I have ever eaten.” I hadn’t wanted to be dramatic but when he said that I instantly agreed. The depth of flavor in that curry was insane. I have never tasted anything that built up with flavor like that. When we were leaving he jokingly said “want to go again tomorrow”.

Yellow curry, while flavorful, is lacking. A pittance of vegetables, 4-5 pieces of chicken. Very poor value for the price, better options on menu. Disappointing amount of food when compared with noodle dishes.

Really loved having lunch at Taste of Thai! The food was fresh, hot and came out quickly! Their Tom Kha soup is some of the best I’ve had anywhere and was loaded with veggies and shrimp. Absolutely loved their Pad Woon Sen-stir fry glass noodles as well, which had a savory charred flavor and came with a side of rice and plenty of veggies. Highly recommend this place for a great authentic Thai meal!
