THAI HOUSE Lexington — Restaurant in Lexington

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. What makes the place shine isn’t décor, but authenticity, freshness, and consistently warm service.

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. The drunken spaghetti was a standout, using Western-style noodles instead of the usual rice or egg noodles. That change gave the dish more body and a slightly Americanized feel, while still honoring the spice and balance of Thai cooking. The papaya salad was crisp, vibrant, and seasoned perfectly.

A word on heat: the “Thai hot” creeps up on you. At first, it feels toned down, almost mild. But by the fifth bite, the burn builds, sweat beads, and your eyes water. And yet you keep going, reaching for that sixth bite because it’s just that good.

The Thai House proves that appearances deceive—humble outside, extraordinary...

Love love love this new (to Lexington) Thai place! They also have a location in Georgetown. Hearty portions and best crab Rangoon I’ve found in town!

Same location where Jasmine Rice used to be. Was SO SAD when they closed but they told me the new place would be just as good and they were right!

We got taken out and it’s pick up only right now, but you can sit down and eat inside. Looks very different than before, very white walls and super bright. Not my vibe but we are to go people anyways. Very clean and...

Thai 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...
