The vegetables had the write balance of roasted, crisp edges, but still tender inside. The papaya salad with shrimp had a gorgous sweetness balanced but the citrus. The crispy tofu was okay, but the peanut sauce it came with was elite. And the thai iced tea was HEAVEN. Nicely sweet and rich. Our only little note: we tried to call in our order several times but no one picked up. I'm sure they were busy! It's just that none of their desserts were listed on their online menu, so they did miss out on a slightly larger sale. Really hope I get to dine-in next time I'm in the area! I want to try your lychee rice pudding.

I usually don't "come heavy" on a first time review, but this needs to be said:…read more Good food isn't enough for a high rating. Service & integrity is half the process. The food last night was quality; the pad thai, jalapeño beef, spring rolls, shrimp fried rice, etc ... all kicked ass & we took home plenty of Sunday dinner/Saturday leftovers. So here's my 'suggestion/watch out' negative to all who read this - 8 minutes to serve the apps - not bad. But then nothing from a waitress with 2 tables who were already eating. We were her only other table. The apps were followed by 35 min to deliver 6 plates of rice & noodles ... that's unacceptable. I suggest your staff be trained better, & that the owner/manager (she was there) help out when a table is ignored like we were. There were 4 2-tops and a 3-top when we arrived, and one 3-top came in after us. We waited until after the dinner rush for a reason. So. That's my suggestion. Service speed & pacing is half the tip, if not more. Now ... (clears throat) ... here's my 'watch out' - the server handed me a bill with a 20% gratuity already on the bill; and the tax was generated ON THE TOTAL WITH THAT TIP!! No notice on the menu or anywhere about large parties & automatic tip policy. Nothing. And 2 adults + 4 kids (ages 6-12) with no high chairs ... that's not a large party anywhere I've heard. Now back to the overcharge ... that's a violation worthy of mention to y'all Yelpers, & to the licensure offices in Louisville city & Jefferson County. If this business has done this previously & kept that excess tax ... that's a federal violation that can shut a restaurant forever. Now ... I don't like reporting small businesses in general nor will I report them for this tactic. But Yelpers need to know, & watch for this. This nonsense has to stop, and no amount of good food makes up for these abuses. It happens often. Be aware. Aftermath: the boss removed the gratuity when I told her what happened. She was nervous as hell (as she should've been). Her reaction gave me the feeling that either she had knowledge of this practice OR she realized her server had put her business in peril ... but she was REALLY edgy & apologetic afterwards. With all if this, I didn't use it as an excuse to NOT tip. I waited & bartended for over 20 years myself. I left 15%, which is very kind considering what they tried to pull off. But the food was excellent. I took no photos. The rooms are fairly industrial park & not much in the way of stylish. I don't count that off on the gratuity or blame employees. The boss makes that choice. She needs to address placing boxes in aisles & cleaning products here & there; it makes for less than pleasing ambiance in any eatery. I'm tempted to avoid this place, but in a week or so, I intend to go back and let the boss read this (if they don't see it sooner) and tell me what's what. I'm open to correction, so is anyone... or any business. Maybe we'll shake hands & I'll leave with a bag full of food. After all... it was good the first time, and I'm a fat bastard. I need my carbs! So ... if you read this far ... God bless you. See you next rant...

Thai Smile was busy on the Friday night we visited. We were seated and given one menu to share…read moreamong us. We ordered crab Rangoon and egg rolls as starters. The egg rolls had great flavor and were served with a delicious duck sauce. We both enjoyed them. The crab Rangoons did not have much crab in them and had a strong cream cheese flavor. For our entrees my husband had the Bangkok combo with beef chicken and shrimp in garlic sauce, served with fried rice. I tried a bite and his was delicious. I had ordered the vegetable delight with shrimp in a "light sauce" which was very brothy and did not have much flavor. The fried rice was just that. No egg or vegetable in the mix, but it was good. I have visited other Thai restaurants and perhaps I might have enjoyed something else on the menu more than what I ordered this time. I will say that service was friendly, our food came out in a timely manner, and our water glasses were kept filled. If you are in the area and you enjoy Thai food, you might want to give Thai Smile a try.

Both were swimming in sauce (a bit runny, actually) but quite tasty. The chicken was given in abundance, but they skimped a bit on the seafood (3 shrimp only). Prices reasonable and portions large. Place is a bit hard to find, set back with two other restaurants in very small building.

O.M.G....I have found the authentic Thai restaurant in Kentucky -- Nat's is it!!…read more Nat's is a very unassuming lil takeout only restaurant tucked into the side of McCarthy's Irish Bar and shares a front entrance with an Irish gift shop. It sounds odd, but totally worked! My friend and I walked up one afternoon, ordered food inside the restaurant, was told by the owner to "go next door, order a drink and he will bring the food over". We went to McCarthy's, ordered a couple of Pepsi and sat in the cutest nook by the window. Our orders arrived soon: Kobe beef grapao, shrimp salad. Wow! The flavors are sharp, distinct and intense, like Thai flavors are supposed to be. I would say the grapao's spice level is about medium for me. The salad was so spicy that I couldn't finish it. If you have the tendency to want "Thai Hot" in your dishes, this is the place that can serve it up! If you look at the photos poated by other Yelpers, you'll see many other special menu items not found at any other local Thai places. i cannot wait to come back for them! Btw, there is also a nice courtyard next door w available seating during warmer months.
