Thai Smile was busy on the Friday night we visited. We were seated and given one menu to share among 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. read more

Great Thai food. We are fairly new to the area and really missed our old Thai food restaurant. Thai Smile did not disappoint. We were in a group of 6 that selected a broad variety of dishes and everyone really enjoyed their food. My Massaman was excellent and we also enjoyed the appetizer sampler. Very generous portions and we had plenty to take home. Service was very friendly although we hit them at a very busy time so it was a bit hectic but nothing to detract from the overall experience. We'll be back. read more

I used to be a regular here until I moved out of Kentucky more than 10 years ago. The place was always clean, and the guy who runs it always has something funny to say. I was driving by on the interstate and decided to stop for a meal. I basically asked them to pick something for me. They chose the mushroom soup and a curry dish for me. I also told them to go ahead and pick how hot it should be. It ended up being one of the best Thai meals I'd had in a while, and I probably eat Thai food at least monthly. I don't remember the exact names of the dishes but I did remember to take photos before devouring them. (Edit: My photos include the bill with the names of the dishes! Tom Yum Goong soup and Red Curry with Chicken.) The restaurant was still very clean and orderly as I remembered, and the proprietor came and talked to me for a few minutes while I was there. I noticed that their to-go orders really started picking up about a half an hour before they closed. I know I'll go back the next time I'm in town. read more

So fresh. So good!! Always a friendly face! A hidden gem! Will be a regular customer!

Been going for Thai Smile food for a long time. Really enjoy the owner and manager. He's always been very nice to me and now knows my order without me saying a word! My only problem is someone needs to teach their chef how to cook broccoli! It's usually not cooked enough or overcooked to the point of being mushy. More 4-1/2 stars than just 4. Highly recommended! read more

We stopped in while traveling to Lake Taylorsville for camping. Service was quick and prompt. The food was priced well and pretty tasty. Everything is served in plastic to-go containers (maybe that is more economical than washing dishes during the lunch rush). There were many local patrons - we chatted with a few over lunch. Nice to know it's a mainstay for people in the community. The server or owner seemed to know the clientele and so the atmosphere was very welcoming. I love Thai food - no complaints from me! read more

We visited Thai Smile for lunch upon the recommendation of a Thai employee at another shop in Frankfort. The restaurant was hidden from street view in a strip mall that had a lot of empty shops. Yet, there were many patrons going into Thai Smile for lunch or to pick up takeout orders. The restaurant had a take-out feel, even for sit-down diners. There was a relatively small dining area with small tables -- and a large rectangular table along the entrance way with iced tea canisters, napkins, and cutlery. We were greeted quickly, and offered a table. Our server, a bundle of energy, took our drink order quickly. I ordered a Thai Iced Tea ($3.95). We ordered two entrees -- my husband's go-to in Thai restaurants, Pad Thai with Chicken ($10) and Panang Curry with Chicken ($10). Seeing that the latter would be served only with peas and carrots, I also ordered a side dish of snow peas ($2). The waiter up-sold us with an order of the "best eggroll in Frankfort." ($2.50). You can choose the hotness level that you prefer, for your entrees, from 1- to 4-star. We ordered 2-star for both dishes. Our total bill came to $30.16, with tax but before tip. Interestingly, all appetizers on the menu are $2.50 and all entrees are $10.00. The food was delivered quickly and hot. All were served in plastic containers with lids that could also serve as take out containers. Overall, the food tasted good but was not exceptional. Our main comment is that the dishes lacked add-ins (especially vegetables). The Pad Thai was primarily noodles, with some chicken and a small number of fried tofu pieces and some peanut garnish. We don't recall having seen any bean sprouts or egg, as advertised. The soupy Panang curry in coconut milk was served with peas and carrots, as advertised, plus the add-on of snow peas that I had ordered extra. This was served with a bowl of white rice. The egg roll order was a single egg roll that was mainly filled with cabbage. (I can't say whether this is the best eggroll in Frankfort but it certainly wasn't the best that we've had). With respect to spiciness, 2-star has slightly more chili peppers than our preferences (even for my Indian-origin husband) but it wasn't too hot that we couldn't eat it. We need to remind ourselves that one-star is probably sufficient for future orders. We can always add more chilis but can't take them away. This restaurant is a good value. We were only able to finish about half of our food while in the restaurant so we had take-out meals to enjoy later. (We added more vegetables!) Also, our server was highly efficient. We note his friendly banter with the large group next to us. We would return to this restaurant if we were to return to Frankfort. Quantities. read more

You really can't go wrong here! Don't be deterred from the spice level on the menu the food has fantastic flavor without overpowering you with spice. The pad Thai is our favorite read more

Fast friendly service. They run a well-oiled machine there during lunch to take full advantage of the limited seating space. Overall, my food was good. Not noteworthy Thai but enjoyable and I recommend others give them a try. If in the area, I would return. read more

This place is always on point. Whether I eat there or take it home, I never have had a bad meal. Pineapple fried rice with chicken is my go to, but the curry's are delicious too. If they have the mango sticky rice, get it! read more

Quick service and the food is always flavorful! Five star heat is not ridiculous heat, it's about jalapeño hot. I added the chili oil to the meal and it made it perfect! read more

It's a very busy place and I see why. Good food, prompt service and fair prices. The 5 star spice level is pretty mild, but it's KY, I do love the sauce bar so you can make it as hot as you want. Will definitely continue to eat here. read more

Great food, I love how anyone can appreciate Thai at Thai Smile, as they can change the spice levels based on you preferences!

Oh Frankfort, what is a vegetarian to do when they can't find a decent meal while attending an event? Seriously, I was so incredibly hungry. I was going to stop at Gibby's and then remembered that there was a Thai Restaurant in town. I found this spot in a little strip plaza off 127. I was quick to be seated and I ordered a Thai tea as I sat down. The menu was very impressive with good options for appetizers. For a vegetarian, they had spring rolls, dumplings, and fried tofu options. The entrees were meat focused, but the staff is willing to accommodate per your preferences. I ordered the pad Thai with tofu and veggies. It came out quickly. It was delicious. A beautiful mix of flavors, and a great heat to the dish. I also truly appreciated having a chili hot sauce at the table to add as needed to my food. The wait staff came to check on me a few times while I was eating. I was pleasantly surprised by my Thai food in Frankfort. On my list for the next time I'm there!! read more

Friendly, fast, yummy, great value. Great for take out and portions where big. Not a lot of options in the area but this is a great choice

Whenever you are hungry for authentic Thai food, Thai Smile is the only place to go! There are two locations including Richmond and Frankfort. This Thai is so good that my boss would drive from Louisville to Frankfort just to be able to have good Thai food. There simply is no comparison anywhere else! I continually switch between their Chicken Fried Rice, Three Flavor Chicken, or the Dry Egg Noodle Bowl. It's just difficult to decide between three delicious meals. The Chicken Fried Rice is a generous serving of fried rice with egg and plenty of chicken (or your favorite meat). For something different, try the Pineapple Fried Rice (with your favorite meat). The Three Flavor Chicken is a huge serving of fried chicken with snow peas, broccoli, carrot, tomatoes and pineapple in three-flavored sauce (includes steamed or fried rice). Personally, I order mine with no tomato, but others enjoy it being included. My other favorite is the Dry Egg Noodle Bowl which is filled with steamed egg noodles tossed with bean sprouts and sweet soy sauced topped with fried chicken breast and then garnished cilantro and ground peanuts. There is always a generous amount of the sweet soy sauce, so I mix some of my wife's leftover rice in the bowl and have enough for 2 meals. Of course, there are plenty of other items to select from their vast menu. They have a great selection of soups. My favorite is either the Siamese Beef Soup (Sliced beef in a spicy robust broth) or the Soupy Noodle (Rice noodle, chicken and bean sprouts in chicken broth). Of course, these meals are never complete without ordering an egg roll, or the crispy egg roll. And everyone knows to order their Crab Rangoon for a tasty dessert! read more

Thai Smile is our go-to when in Frankfort. The food is always good. Our son likes the frozen chicken fried rice we can get for home as well.

We have been going to Thai Smile for years now. One of the best Thai restaurants we know. Besides the authentic dishes, it's the owners that make this place. Every few Saturday's they open their hearts and give free meals to anyone that might need a helping hand. They are just great humans helping their community. I love the basil chicken and also the pineapple fried rice. Have never had a bad meal. This place is truly a must try! read more

Thai smile looks less than impressive from the outside, but don't let that fool you. It doesn't look impressive inside either. However the food is great! The whole time we were there, it was a steady stream of people coming and going. Thai smile is all about the food. read more

Lovely family and great food at a reasonable price! It's a bit on the sweet side - very heavy on the coconut milk. This family has gone above and beyond providing for the community during CoVid by providing free masks when they were very difficult to find and also by supply tons of free meals to the community. Because of their dedication to staying open and being there for the community in so many ways, this will always be on the top 10 best restaurants in Frankfort list! read more

My all time fav for egg fried riceee! You should definitely try them They don't have done in open yet but you can order online for a real quick pickup! They close at 2pm if you are looking to order something for lunch read more

For $2 dollars for one egg roll y'all gonna have to step up your game giving people these little bite size egg rolls especially since you make people buy two for $4 bucks. C'mon man you're better than that! read more

Thai Smile - Tiny egg roll - Thai Near Me - Frankfort, Kentucky

We were warmly greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. We ordered two appetizers: crab rangoon and curry puff. I've had crab rangoon before at many different restaurants, but I'd not had the curry puff. The Crab Rangoon was nothing special and the fried pastry that surrounded the crab mixture was thicker than I preferred. The Curry puff is a soft mixture of chicken, sweet potato, and curry. It was a nice, unusual combination. The type of curry was not specifed on the menu. One thing that I like about the menu is that there are pictures of all the food items. My entre was Pepper and garlic chicken- stir-fried with broccoli, toasted garlic and black pepper with garlic sauce. While the description promised to be very scrumptious, the actual meal was not. I guess I am accustomed to spicy Thai food and this meal was just not as spicy or as flavorful as my expectations. I expect Thai food (that I order to be "Thai hot", 5 on a 1-5 scale) will be at least a little bit spicy, but this food was not spicy at all. For dessert, I ordered the "sweet ball", which is red bean rice ball rolled in sesame seeds (Thanks for the pictured menu, Thai Smile). I really love this dessert and have not found it in other Thai Restaurants...probably because I did not know its proper name :-(. Now, because I know its name, I can look for it. Overall, I really wanted to like this restaurant, but to me it's just average. Because it's the only Thai Restaurant in Frankfort, it has a monopoly on people who want Thai food. read more

Just like everyone else said, this place is a great Frankfort favorite. I'm a vegetarian and their veggie fried rice is amazing + I love the spice level options. Also literally the best crab rangoons I've ever had. read more

One of my Frankfort favorites!! Thai Smile as done an amazing job supporting the community, not only throughout COVID, but pre-pandemic as well. At the beginning of the pandemic, Thai Smile and staff was giving away masks with each meal! I have loved every dish I have ordered at Thai Smile. My favorite go to dish is Pineapple Chicken Curry, five stars. Its the perfect amount of spice and sweetness! Another crowd favorite is the Chicken Fried Rice, its delish! Other personal favorites include; the wonton soup, egg rolls, and the Tangerine Chicken. On rare occasions they have a delicious dessert which is made of pumpkin balls and coconut milk, they is my all time favorite dessert!! If you're ever in Frankfort I would strongly suggest stopping by at Thai Smile! read more

My travel companions stopped in this year for dinner like we did last year when in the area. We started with spring rolls....2 each. They were crisp on the outside but the inside was like mashed potatoes consistency and wasn't very tasty at all. I ordered Won Ton Soup and shared Shrimp Pad Thai with my boyfriend. The soup tasted like water with a lot of cilantro, barely cooked chicken, and won tons that tasted only of flour. Onto the Pad Thai. I will say the shrimps were large and cooked perfectly but that is where it stops. The dish had a sweet and weird flavor that none of us liked. We boxed all of our pad thai together and when we stopped at a gas station for jugs of milk to settle our stomachs, we threw it away. The staff is nice but the food is not. We will not be back. read more

One of the best little restaurants in Frankfort. Fast service, good food, friendly staff.

This place really stands up to the stars given here on yelp! I have nothing bad to say. The food was delicious. The portions were great! The price is fair! Actually better than fair good real good. I definitely recommend trying the chicken patty fry curry things they had as an appetizer. The pepper garlic beef was good with the steamed rice. And the ginger chicken with steamed rice was also delicious. Also had the spicy beef soup! At first I regretted ordering so much food for two people! But we definitely finished all the food by the end of the night. Yum. Yum. Yum. Hope to be back in this town just to come here again! read more

Did not get to eat here. They had a play area set up inside that wasn't actually available for the public. My 6yo autistic daughter did not understand this and we were asked to leave. We tried to pay for the drinks (bottled) that they brought our kids and we were told just to go and they took the drinks back. Not child friendly and not accommodating to disabilities. We will not be patronizing any Thai smile locations in the future and will recommend friends and family do the same. read more

2.4 Stars. I like the positive vibes of this place yet I felt the reviews on how wonderful the green curry was deceptive. I love green curry. I love the Asian eggplants in green curry. Thai Smile green curry was raved about online but it was so so to me. I wish I had ordered sushi in Ginza instead. No eggplants in the curry. I didn't like the texture of the chicken. So disappointing! read more

There is absolutely nothing better to eat in Frankfort. Fresh, fast, tons of options, including vegetarian dishes. My favorite is the tangerine chicken (sub tofu) with fried rice. Also enjoy the pineapple curry with tofu. Their fried rice is fluffy, not greasy. Amazing iced coffee at an excellent price! Order online for a seamless pick-up experience. read more

Food is very good! I love having this for lunch. Serving sizes can be a little large, but leftovers are always good!

We moved to Franklin over a year ago and did not think that we had a Thai place here and just found this little gem last week! My husband had the beef basil and I had the wonton soup and it was wonderful! The owner is a very cheerful fellow and we will definitely be going back! I do think it's more of a takeout place and not a sit in but you can eat there if you need too! read more

Check Out Thai Smile located in Frankfort, Ky off 127 South located in the Plaza of the dollar store. This Asian restaurant is extremely popular in Frankfort!! Thai Smile offers dine in, carry out and doordash delivery. Today, my coworkers and I had to call at 11am when they opened because this restaurant gets a lot of business! I've visited this restaurant a few times prior to this review. Today I purchased Sweet and Sour Chicken w/ Spring Rolls. This meal comes with green & red peppers and pineapple and it gives the mean a phenomenal taste. This was my first time trying this entree with pineapples and I love it this way. This restaurant has different style egg rolls also. read more
