The Thai House on Winchester Road in Lexington is the kind of place you might drive past without noticing—just another small spot tucked into a nondescript strip mall. Step inside, though, and you’ll find some of the best Thai food Lexington has to offer. The atmosphere is simple, even barebones: block walls, chairs, and Christmas lights in the windows.

The food is remarkable. Crab rolls arrive with the crab settled at the base, topped with cheese, then wrapped—an extra touch that sets them apart.

Read moreThai House was first rate. From the first bite of our appetizer (do try the crab ragoon!) to the last bite of our entrees we were surprised and completely delighted. We shared our entrees around the table with one another and no one had a single complaint. The service staff was incredibly fast, courteous and knowledgeable. My only down strike would be the dinning room was a bit bland and white... but very clean.. a few decorations would go a long way. Thai House was a hidden gem!.. I'll be back...
