NAT'S — Restaurant in Lexington

This is one of the very few authentic Thai place in Lexington. Nat himeself cooks the food. They are not open on all the days. So it's better to call him and check if they are open. I have been disappointed a lot of times when I would go there and find it closed. He also has a facebook page where he regularly updates if the restaurant is open or closed. Nat's has a daily special and it's usually ~$13 with taxes. All the specials have their unique taste and it's a must try. I have been here so many times since it's close to work and I believe I have tried all of the specials. I like the non-special dish 'Kobe-basil' more than any of his other dishes. These days I just get the Kobe-basil without even looking at the other dishes. But my friend always gets the special and he likes it. So it's just my personal preference. One of the disadvantages is that they don't have a place to sit and eat. However you can sit at the neighboring bar (McCarthy's) where they would bring you your dish, but I recommend ordering to-go and eat it at home or at your work-place. But if you also feel like drinking some beer while munching on some authentic spicy Thai food, eating at McCarthy's isn't...

I can't flippin' believe that I have been missing out on this food! I must come back until I try every dish. Monday through Friday they have daily specials, check them out on Facebook at Nat's Lexington. Tonight we had egg rolls and Kobe Basil. Although they do not make the egg rolls, I would have sworn that they were homemade. Each bite was a pleasure. When you bite into a normal commercial egg roll, the cabbage strings out and is hard to bite through. Not with this roll. Each bite comes off cleanly. Now the Kobe Basil......Sweet...Glorious...Butter Soaked...Mad Lovin' Mother of God is this good!!!!! "Normal" heat level may be a bit rich for most but trust me it is perfectly balanced. This is NOT your normal Thai food. There are herbs at play here that are forgein to my palate. Such a beautiful play between heat and herb/spice. I am positive that no better Thai food exist in Lexington, KY. Final note - do not come here and rate this food against Americanized Thai food. If you do you show your lack of experience.

This is the best Thai food I've ever had in my life. It's tucked away in the alley and very easy to miss. It's takeout only, so I usually just bring it back to my apartment. But what they lack in store front, they more than make up for in flavor. I usually get the special which changes every day, and it's always superb. If I'm not feeling the special, kobe beef is an old standby. And don't miss the egg rolls. So crispy and delicious. To top things off, the place is run by an exceptionally pleasant family. I actually eat there so often, they know me. I always order the food extremely spicy, and they love to up the spice game. Several times, they've even given me a Carolina reaper with my order.
