Steve P.

Wonderful family owned restaurant serving excellent Thai food. Both entrees were large enough to share and they had just the right amount of spice.

Thai iced tea
John B.

The place is a small freestanding building with more charm than the surrounding shopping malls, albeit with a somewhat cramped parking area encircling it. The menu includes a range of typical dishes, missing one or two of my favorites but still with plenty of choice. Getting fried tofu as an appetizer resulted in tofu triangles with a sweet chili sauce and a nice salad accompaniment with one or two dodgy leaves. My cashew-based entree had a good variety of vegetables and some burn at the Thai hot level, but left an off taste in my mouth. Ordering brown rice was costly, but their purple-looking result was appealing. A Thai iced tea was more sweet than tea. It seemed like a family-run place and service was not speedy. I could imagine them doing better with a different order. There were some positives but it wasn't up there with the best I've had in town.

I had to use soy sauce--a lot. Sauce was watery. Pad Cashew

This used to be a favorite of mine when it was located by UK. Tried it today after many years and it was underwhelming flavor and presentatiowise.

This was my first time trying Mai thai and it was absolutely amazing. I've heard good things about it before but finally I went because a good friend recommended it. He recommended getting garlic chicken, yellow curry which were both 10/10 so flavorful! As well as the pad see ew which was also so good! It's such a cute place and service was good. We got the Thai tea to drink and I've never had it before other than thai boba which isn't as authentic so I don't know what to compare it to. But it was so good I just wish it was a little more milk so it wasn't so sweet.

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

Nice place to eat. This is my first time with Thai food. I like it. It's not too much different than Chinese, but what I had was lighter and very good. I highly recommend this place. They do gtake out and have inside and a small patio.

Chicken Pad Thai
Stephanie R.

One of the better Thai places we've tried in Lexington! The egg rolls are nice and crispy and Thai roll was wonderful! We both had Chicken Pad Thai and it was fabulous! Nice locations and very friendly service! Will definitely be back!

Chicken Pad Thai with Scrambled Egg.  Incredible.
Drew G.

Wow! A friend recommend that I try this place because she said that the Chicken Pad Thai is the best thing that she'd ever eaten. It was a beautiful Tuesday at lunchtime and I sat outside. The service was good and I definitely was not disappointed in the Pad Thai, it was the best that I've ever had! I ordered mine with scrambled egg on top and it was a little bit of heaven. I ordered it "medium" spicy and it didn't have much heat at all. Next time I might order it "hot" but I could really taste the flavors better without the heat. Their price for Chicken Pad Thai at lunch is very reasonable at $7.99. They serve good sized portions. I will definitely be back.

Usually I start off talking about ambiance and service but my god the food here was EXCELLENT!! I…read morepersonally had the Jalapeño Chicken and BBQ Pork Buns and both dishes were delightful. The chicken had just the right amount of spice where you noticed it but it didn't overpower the food. A co-worker had the Pad Thai and it looked delicious as well. There is an extensive menu and if I lived near there I'd be trying something different on a regular basis. As for the ambiance, it's a small little restaurant in a strip mall where you will overlook it if you don't know what you're looking for. Not much parking but it wasn't overly busy either. Nothing fancy here but it was clean and with how good the food is, it doesn't need to be fancy. The service was what you would expect. The waitress checked on us regularly and was friendly.

I ordered the Scallion and Garlic Chicken. This type of dish is one of my favorites, so I like to…read morethink of myself as something of an expert or at least semi-pro. All that to say this was one of the best dishes of chicken rice I've ever had. While I didn't realize that it's a portion for the table, I made every effort to eat it all and was left happily defeated. Now back in the hotel, I'm lying recumbent as I nurse a food baby and am grateful to have leftovers sitting in the fridge, for either a midnight snack or savory start to my Sunday. The food came out relatively quickly. The place was extremely clean and well-lit, and the young lady who took my order was extremely professional and cheerful. Overall, I would give this my strongest recommendation and will make a point to return even if doing so would require its own trip or a significant detour from another route. Great stuff!!!

I'm new to the sushi world and decided to stop by this restaurant from a coworker's recommendation…read more I placed an order through the drive-thru and it was ready soon thereafter. I decided to try a few variety of rolls, but did not finish any of them. The offering was was okay, but not outstanding. I now understand why other patrons rated the sushi as adequate.

In just the past 3 months, the prices have gone up about 30% (just in the last 3 months, not…read morecounting previous price increases during and after the pandemic, which was also roughly a 30% increase between 2019 and 2024), which is absurd. I just went back and looked at our order history and receipts to check prices on individual items. Additionally the portion sizes and amount of meat per sushi roll is also noticeably lower, they're using smaller to-go containers than they used to. Sakura 12 used to be our go-to place because it was closer to home, picking up sushi once or twice a month for weekend splurges, to the point that they recognized us when we came in to pick things up. But now? There's no way we're paying 30% more for smaller portions. The sushi was never the best in town, but the admittedly low prices kept them competitive. Now, there's no reason not to go to one of the dozen better places, price was their only edge. If I'm going to drop $100+ on sushi, I'm probably going to spend $20 more to get the REALLY good stuff elsewhere, y'know?
