Don't let the location and appearance of the building fool you, this place serves AWESOME Thai food. The cashew with chicken entree is simply wonderful. I ordered the spicy level 3, but will go to a level 4 on my next visit. The lack of a 5th star is not related to the food, rather the slow service. An additional server is needed as ours was much too busy. We had asked for a desert menu but after a 15 minute wait to order it, we gave up and signaled for our check. Water refills were also slow to arrrive. read more

The food was great. I had the spicy green beans with chicken. The salad with peanut sauce was good, it's enough for two.

We've been enjoying Mai Thai for years and have never been disappointed. In terms of food, the sushi is the best in the area and the Thai spring rolls are the best I've ever had. When I'm in the mood for an entree, I always go for the beef Thai spicy. It's a small place, so you might want to avoid going at an obviously busy time. Service is always great. read more

Totally awesome. Only drawback is lack of space although they just added more tables still not enough. Best Asian restaurant around this area. Curries are fantastic! read more

First Thai food since moving to the Cincinnati metro area. Last we had Thai was in Cincinnati with friends and family who know Thai food. I must say, this was fantastic, good portion sizes for a very reasonable price. Sushi roll, pad Thai and red curry were all fantastic. Coming from West Chester it was a bit of a hike but I can say we will be back! read more

This is my favorite Thai place in town. Their pad Thai is phenomenal. I have gotten the chicken and the vegetable. Both are very delicious. The peanut sauce is perfect, the noodles are a thick yummy consistency. The garnish it with lime and all the works. My favorite part of the vegetable is the addition of baby corn. Atmosphere is great. Ginger salad and other appetizers are good read more

I probably come here 6 times a week. The food is so delicious. My favors are Thai Fried Rice with Chicken, Tom Yum Soup, Pad Kee Mao without Broccoli, Thai Iced Tea and Vanilla Ice Cream. It's definitely the best Thai food in the whole town for Florence, Kentucky. read more

Great food lemongrass soup and salmon rolls were delicious ordered the sticky rice and mange to eat in my hotel room :-)

Believe it or not, Mai Thai was once a Long John Silvers! When they first opened, you could still see hints of the fast food chain. Now they look downright amazing, as the inside feels like an authentic, classy Asian restaurant complete with sushi bar. Anyone who can turn a Long John's into a hip & healthy restaurant has my admiration. I really wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often. (I'd probably be there once a week!) Alright, onto the food. I have three favorites here: - Pad Thai - Spicy Eggplants Stir Fry (yes, it's named eggplants, with an "s") - Basil Chicken Stir Fry The Pad Thai comes out on a boat-sized plate. It's like a trough of Thai! Both stir fries come with a hearty amount of fresh veggies and a perfectly round scoop of white rice on the side. I really like this, being able to mix what I want, rather than having the rice get soggy. The appetizers are pretty tasty too. Just make sure you're really hungry if you order one. - Fried Tofu w/ sweet Thai peanut sauce (8 pieces) - Crab puffs (5 pieces) - Sushi There is a sushi bar at Mai Thai, so you can get pretty much anything. A long menu presents a variety of choices. I like the Smoky Roll and Spicy Tuna, or Salmon Roll. These are in the $6.00 - $8.00 range and are served as 6 - 8 small rolls. Other rolls go into the $13.00+ range. The servers here are very friendly and attentive. Cute, young Japanese girls make sure you are taken care of and that your drinks never run dry. I ought to try some other dishes than my main three, but they are so darn tasty I can't stray away! I crave one of them every visit. Mai Thai serves dozens more combinations of stir frys, noodle dishes, curries, and sushi. All entrees are vegetarian friendly, and can be substituted with tofu. Also, if you're someone who loves spice, Mai Thai offers level 1 - 10. If 10 is not hot enough, they add a bunch of hot peppers. (I'm not big on spicy, but my friend orders a 10 + hot peppers. My eyes were watering from across the table!) Price per person: $15 - $20 read more

4.5 Stars. If my next visit is as good as my first, I'll be upping this to 5 stars. I find myself in Florence on a weekly basis as 2 of my top 10 accounts are nearby. I've had lunch at the forgettable pub/cafe next door, so forgettable that I can't remember the name despite multiple visits. I'd always seen Mai Thai and had been meaning to try it, but I wasn't sold on the idea of Florence housing the area's best Thai food. Boy was I wrong. I picked up two lunch orders of panang curry with chicken and two spring rolls. I paid with cash and received a 10% discount for helping them avoid CC fees. The portion on the panang curry was on par with the sizes that Thai Express USED to give. Their prices are just about the same. $7-9 for most lunch entrees. The flavor was absolutely on point. I wouldn't change a thing about it. It's a tough dish to get right, but Mai Thai hits a perfect balance of 'sweet and creamy coconut' and 'light your taste buds on fire' Thai hot. Their spring rolls were great too, although they looked more like Chinese spring rolls with the thicker wrapping. Why not 5 stars? I need to try more than one dish to justify giving out 5 stars. I'm confidently hoping that I'll be updating this review and adding the final star in the next two weeks. Definitely worth a try! read more

Good spicy thi noodles. This was a good find thanks to my yelp app. The noodles were nice the chicken and veggies were hot, as they should be. Even though they were pretty crowded the service was attentive and fast. Spicy level medium is perfect for me. read more

Mai Thai - Spicy noodles medium spicey. Great. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

This place is 2 minutes from my house so we eat here anytime we're looking for good Thai food. Their sushi is always really good, as are the curries, noodles, and rice dishes. Recently I had the pineapple fried rice with chicken and it was REALLY good. The dinner portion is huge though, so expect left overs. The service is always good, but this is a relatively small place so expect a lot of noise when its packed with people. This same fact can make it difficult to call in take out orders so make sure you speak loudly and clearly when you call. read more

Whenever my husband is out of town and I'm too tired to cook for myself, I go to Mai Thai and get an order of pad thai to go. I love the mix of flavors in this dish. They are so fresh and bright with the cilantro and lime. The serving is large enough I have enough food for dinner and lunch the next day. I've tried a few other menu items, but always come back to the pad thai. If you pay in cash, they give you 10% your order since you're saving them the bank credit card fees. That's a really nice touch! read more

Good atmosphere, lots of flavor, good sushi. Little pricey, but I'm used to big city food prices. The menu says they go to hot level 5 but when you ask for as hot as it gets they might ask you on a one to ten level. I suggest you don't go for the 10. I'm used to "Thai hot" versus "American hot" and I always go for Thai hot. 10 at this place was a little uncomfortable for me. Not as bad going down as coming out if you know what I mean..... Overall I've had good eating experiences, and this is where we go to get our Thai fix. read more

Grunge rock playing, Alien on the TV and a small sushi bar greet with with only a few patrons. Sushi, Thai and many alcohol choices on the menu. Started with the $3.95 Thai salad which was almost entree sized. The first 3 bites were tangy, with fresh and crisp shredded carrots and cabbage. But after that it became too sweet on its own and I needed spicy curyy for balance. The mango curry at 4 stars was not too hot, but very flavorful and full of vegetables. The bowl was large and a big scoop of rice was enough. Friendly and attentive serivce. Pretty good overall. read more

I tried this place based on other Yelper's reviews and I was very happy I did. The sushi was fresh and very good and the service was excellent as well. They have soy paper which makes a difference to me. I've noticed that some sushi places in this area have not even heard of soy paper. The decor of this place is very nice, like an old sea-side tavern. Count on table dining as the sushi bar is very small. read more

Great Thai, we will be back. We started with soup, it was good. I ordered Pad Thai chicken, medium spice. I was very pleased with the food. The portion was big, I took half home for lunch the next day. The wife had mango curry and enjoyed. We shared a couple deserts, the fried bananas were awesome. A perfect treat a la mode. We also split the mango with sticky rice. What a unique treat. This is said to be traditional Thai, it's worth trying. I've never seen it anywhere else. read more

A great that place. I had the Thai ice tea, my favourite veg fried rolls and mango curry. I tried mango curry for the first time and I must say its a must try. The next time I go, I would love to try the pineapple curry. read more

Not impressed Yelpers. In Florence on business and read the reviews and decided to try some sushi here instead of driving downtown. Bad decision. The sushi menu is about six different types of seafood, that's it. Yes they have lots of rolls but if you want nigiri you have very few choices. Fish was fine, rolls were okay but nothing but average. Hopefully this is not the norm but we had fruit flies buzzing around us our whole meal. Service was average but the Kirin beer was good. Given this atmosphere I did not bother trying any Thai food. read more

The atmosphere here is great. It has a very coherent and cozy feel. I had sushi and a curry dish. The sushi was okay... For some reason it didn't have much flavor. The curry was thin, and the beef wasn't very good. I may have just ordered the wrong things. I will give this place another shot, and order some different things. The Cabernet wine was wonderful. They have a nice wine list. read more

This is great Thai. Very good Pad Thai and I have had bad... Service is good too. Big menu, nice atmosphere. What's not to like? read more

Best Thai food in the area hands down. So much flavor, great spicyness options and I love their apps and their pad Thai is a staple delicious dish. Service is friendly and take out is prompt. read more

Really good Thai! The basil fried rice is the bomb, spring extra for it, you won't be disappointed. We went for lunch, and it was packed and quite loud as the place is quite tiny, and all hard surfaces. The crab puff appetizers were excellent, but the spring rolls were REALLY small...good, but small. My spicy chicken entree was yummy and hot, but the portion was quite small as well. I'll have to go back for dinner, and I will, because the food was definitely worth going back for! read more

Great sushi, good price. I ordered takeout and was glad it was ready when I got there. The miso soup was a little mushy for me though, as if the green bits had been in there too long. Other than that, the NY and Boston rolls were awesome! Will definitely visit again! read more

If you're looking for a good lunch spot look no further. Having been a fan of Sweet Basil and Sushi Thai (before sushi Thai closed) for some time I am very fond and somewhat critical on thai/oriental fare. Their service is prompt once seated but can be stuck in a tight waiting area before being greeted. Usually food comes out in only a matter of a couple minutes. Everything has always been fresh and quite tasty. My only critique would be to offer a spicier option. I always order a 4 (the max) and feel it isn't as hot as I would like. Bottom-line is the food is great and only $7/entree for lunch. I would recommend. read more

Pineapple fried rice with chicken and the mai thai rolls are the best! You won't be disappointed with this place!

Mai Thai is definitely my favorite Thai restaurant - and I've been to quite a few! Their Tom Kha is perfection, as is the salad with peanut dressing. I've never been disappointed. Love it so much. read more

Every time we visit IKEA we stop at Mai Thai. Food is always amazing. Crab puffs are exceptional. A lot of great food for money. Pad kee mao - phenomenal. All other Thai restaurants simply don't come close. read more

Salad was way bigger than I expected, 2-3 rolls of sushi were delicious, staff was very friendly & attentive. I'm from out of town, but I look forward to eating there again next time I'm in town! read more

Seriously one of my favorite restaurants. The sushi, curry, pad Thai...I get decision anxiety because I seriously want it all! It's all at very reasonable prices too! Definitely worth a stop read more

I have wanted to come here for a long time and finally got the chance. The wait was well worth it! I had posted earlier that Sweet Basil was the best Thai restaurant in nky--that was premature. Mai Thai blows SB away in food quality, taste, speed of service, and atmosphere. We shared the pad thai, thai spicy and sweet and sour chicken....all very tasty. Service was quick, friendly and there is far more space than SB so cramping is not an issue. The only thing SB has on this place is that it includes soup with lunch, but the soup is bland and the portion size here is about 50% greater. If you're in the nky area and craving Thai, this is the place to go. read more

This is the place to go for your Asian/Thai cravings. Food is great! The ingredients seemed fresh, and cooked just right. If you like hot go for level three, if you cannot tolerate it like me just go for very mild just to give you that "zing" on your taste buds. The servers are very friendly and polite. Try to avoid going there during lunch on a weekday. It will be packed, but the waiting is not that long. You can also order via phone for pick-up, which can be convenient if you are in a hurry. read more

This place was amazing. The orange chicken was great. Can't wait to come back. I'm very picky about my fried rice but this place caught me by surprise, I really like the rice. Not the biggest fan of Thai food but i will recommend it read more

My favorite restaurant. Their service is good and foods are delicious! My dishes are Kai kra pao, pineapple fried rice and thai noodle soup:) read more

Truly just not that great. Nice place, very friendly staff. Food just wasn't that good compared to most Thai I've had.

Don't let the small building fool you, this place is huge on flavor! I dream of this place! I can not express how delicious! The Pad Thai level 3 is my favorite! They are packed during the day, so be sure to plan ahead if on your lunch break from work. read more

Mai Thai is the best Thai in this area! My fav's are the crab puffs and the Spicy Lava Roll!

Mai Thai is authentic Thai food made by authentic Thai folks; I would have to fly to Thailand to have a mango curry as balanced as the one I was fortunate to have tonight. The ambiance of the small restaurant, it used to be a Long John Silver- a remarkable makeover, is calming and traditional Thai music plays softly (even in Thailand it is hard to hear traditional Thai music). The Mai Thai also features a classy looking bar with a wine selection (Sorry wine snobs, I do not drink alcohol so I can not comment) and a Japanese sushi bar. Beautiful interior. Well worth the trip to southern Cincinnati. Heck, worth the trip from Cleveland! Take a Left on Exit 180 from 75 South. read more

Very friendly staff, clean, well lit, and wide variety of choices. My sushi was great, for Midwestern sushi. My husband's pad Thai was very good too; and the Tom Yum soup was to DIE for! Great place! read more
