    Pad se ew,planet thai noodle
    Vicky C.

    Planet is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants in Lexington. They have the best food filled with lots of flavor. Good portion sizes we went for their lunch and got the planet thai noodles and pad se ew. Sometimes I get it with beef sometimes I get a with chicken and I like to get mine super spicy. It also came with complementary spring roll and soup when you go for lunch, which were super delicious the environment was very chill like any mom and pops restaurant and the service was good.

    Food is always good! Never had a bad experience! Service is also good! We love the planet thai rolls

    With a craving for Thai food & looking for a place for dinner for 4 last weekend, my sister and I remembered Planet Thai from growing up in Lexington and loving it. Though we hadn't been in a couple (or 15) years, we decided to give it a try! We got there on a Saturday night around 6:30, and there were definitely tables available...but it was quite a wait to be greeted and seated by the host. Once we were seated however, our waitress was very attentive and quick with taking our drink and food orders and checking in on us throughout the meal. We started out with the appetizer sampler which had a good variety of things to try! My favorite was the veggie spring rolls. My sister and our husbands all ordered the Pad Thai at varying levels of spice. I went with the spicy eggplant dish that had red curry paste, eggplant, bell peppers, onions, and basil leaves with tofu on a level 4 spice. It was good, but a little greasy. The portions are large and would be easily split for 2 people or good for taking home leftovers. I noticed lots of people stopping in to pick up carry out orders. One thing I would note is that Planet Thai is in need of some decor updating. Its not a fancy place, but some new carpeting, a fresh coat of paint, and new seating would go a long way in freshening up the interior.

    I ordered over the phone for take out. The ordering procedure was a little difficult. I believe the lady taking my order was training. She didn't seem to be familiar with the menu. But still was very nice. She never said her name. I ordered all vegetarian food. The vegetarian pot stickers were crunch and came with some sweet sauce. I also got Tom yum soup, definitely something I will get next time I'm sick!! Then as the main meal I got green curry noddles. That was my favorite out of everything. Kinda soupier than what I expected. But the veggies were so tender and the noodles really complimented it. My spice levels were 2 and 3. I was cautious bc it was my first time but I'll definitely get spicier next time

    Lunch with a friend at Planet Thai. A good while since I'd been. I had the Pa Nang Curry with chicken. It came with white rice and a little egg roll with a bit of dipping sauce. It was good, but not quite hot enough for me. A perfectly sized portion for lunch for $6.95. Friendly, fast service. 53

    Definitely a hole in the wall, but I left satisfied! I had enough food to save and eat 2 more dinners that week from the same meal! They don't skimp that's for sure. I ordered the Green Curry with Chicken and rice noodles. I ordered it number 2 on the spicy scale and i feel like they nailed the spice level. Gave 4 stars because of the appearance of the building you dine in. Doesn't seem to be in the best condition. But that being said, I'll still be back.

    This little hole in the wall joint is a well kept secret. Looks really small from the outside but is pretty spacious inside. We went out a rainy work day for some spicy soul food and were not disappointed. My friend ordered the chicken noodle soup.. the portion was HUGE! Taste wise not bad though appearance wise it looked a bit lackluster. I ordered chicken pineapple with rice.. just what the doctor ordered. GGteat portions on size and yummylicious! I'll definitely be going bAcK!

    Tofu Pad Thai
    Haley F.

    Food taste is really good! Quick service too! I got the pad Thai with tofu and spring rolls. Rolls delicious! Pad Thai was great I wouldn't mind just a tad more sauce in mine. Huge container of food as well (I got mine to go) my kids loved the large fish tank inside too!

    62. Pad Se Ew (with chicken)
    Margaret H.

    Let me tell you about Planet Thai. My roommate and I religiously order from here once a week (once 3 times). I order the Pad Se Ew with chicken every time. It's my go to, and it's always consistently good. Not only is it good, but the portions are HUGE. I can sometimes eat this for 3 whole meals. There's always a lot of chicken (could sometimes use a few more veggies), but the sauce is good, and the spice is as well (ranked 0-5). It's ready quick and I've never had a bad experience. I love this place and am so happy they're staying busy during these challenging times!! Their staff is always friendly and accommodating, and after trying many Thai places around town I always find myself back here. I wouldn't call it your true to the bone "authentic Thai". However, you get a huge bang for your buck, and the flavors are great. Well done Planet Thai, my life in Lexington would be a lot less great without you.

    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?
