Geezzz how did this get missed!! I am remiss in my duties as a Lexington Food Personality. My apologies Nat you have the best Thai food in town. David and I tried the Kobe Basil tonight while having a Jameson at McCarthy's . Deliciousness on a plate is all I can say! Heavy basil and pepper flavors (which most places don't put enough) the rice was fluffy and moist as well. I can't wait to try the fish and herb dish next. We are going to make it a point to try EVERYTHING on the menu:-) Keep up the good work your food craft is much appreciated. Oh and the hostess who waited on us was so informative and a pleasure to have her serve us!
How does this place only have 4.9 stars? It doesn't get any better than this. You have to actually go to Bangkok to find better Thai food. Just eat here. If you don't like it, I don't know, man, there's lots of chain restaurants in Lexington to choose from. Try the "fish in the herb garden." Or any of the stir fry dishes. Or anything with pork belly. Tell Nat you want it "phet mahk." He'll hook you up with the good stuff.
Pretty good food for a great price point. The food was flavorful and the proportion was huge (a lot of rice for the pork salad and shrimp+herbs). My favorite had to be the special pork basil with fried egg. Be patient when ordering, when we finally got to try the place, it was just one staff. We’ll definitely be back.
Side note: My husband and I have been wanting to try Nat’s for a while. It just never seemed to be in our cards. Last week, we tried coming on two separate ocassions in the evening (around 7pm) but they were closed both days. I checked their Facebook/Google page to see if I misread the time but it seems they were randomly closed.
NAT's, a downtown Lexington self-named Thai takeout, nestled between McCarthy's Irish Bar and Harvey's, serves some of the most delicious dishes we've tasted.
Nat (chef and owner) overcomes the equipment challenges by preparing mostly curry and soup dishes (known as "Kao Geang" ). That Kobe basil is on point. The Tom Yum gai is authentically sour and spicy, perfect for a fall night out.
Inspired by unique ingredients, he never stops serving innovative and probably one-time dishes, like the Watermelon curry chicken.
Though the restaurant doesn't have its own dining room, his customers can enjoy the dishes in the outdoor seating area that's shared with the Irish Bar.
Got an order of fish and chips delivered next door to McCarthy’s while watching the UK game. The portion was decent - 3 small pieces of fish and fries filling most of the rest of the box - and the quality was good. At $12 I feel it may have been a couple dollars overpriced, but it’s a great service to have delivery next door, and I’d be curious to try their Thai food!
I rarely go out for Thai food because, since I'm Thai, I pretty much cook Thai at home. Friends, however, often ask me for recommendations, and I think Nat's will have to be at the top of my list from now on. We went for the first time recently, and my husband has not stopped talking about going back. He got the Kobe beef and basil and loved it. I got Tom ka shrimp and a Thai papaya salad that was just wonderful. Since we were the only ones there and decided to wait for our food to be cooked, we chatted with everyone working there including Nat. They were friendly, generous, conversational and super interesting. I have no doubts we will be back. Highly recommend that all Lexingtonians try this place at least once.
Amazing food, friendly staff. One of my favorite places in Lexington. The interior is so small that you can't open the door and stand inside at the same time, but there is seating all around the exterior. Prices are not bad, especially given the generous portion sizes.
Did not know this place existed until my friend who's visiting from NYC told me to meet there. They do have dine in seating but you need to get in from Irish Bar and walk to the backyard to get 3 table that's available for Nat's. Food was amazing, 100% authentic Thai food. There's no better Thai food in Lexington. This will be our go to place for Thai food. Amazing stuff ❤️❤️❤️
We love Nat's! If you find yourself enjoying the Irish Public House next door (McCarthy's), you can just ask your friendly bartender for a menu. The staff of Nat's will come over, take your oder, and even bring it to you! How convenient is that? They share a lovely back patio with McCarthy's so grab a pint, some grub, and enjoy a little piece of heaven in downtown Lexington!
If you opt to get it to go, they will box it up for you. I suggest the pad thai. It's beautifully balanced between sweet sauce and warm peanuts is definitely something to write home about!
