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.

Nat’s is probably the most authentic and best Thai in Lexington and may be for a large surrounding area. I’ve had a lot of Thai food and Nat makes some of the best. It’s spicy, no doubt about that, but the flavor is markedly better than other places. He has a different special almost every day so there’s plenty of variety for repeat visits. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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!

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.

NAT’s is my absolute favorite Thai restaurant in town, but I don’t really consider Nat’s a restaurant. Nat is an amazing chef that make the best Thai food that anyone could have the pleasure of eating right here in downtown Lex. The food is always spot on delicious and fresh. The places is relatively small but Nat’s carry out operation spares no expense when it comes to quality. There is a persistent menu as well as daily specials. I have never been let down by Nat’s. A true gem in Lexington. I don’t give 5 stars very often, but Nat’s deserves every star. Thank you.

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!

It’s just so-so. There are a lot better Thai restaurants in town. I ordered Kobe Basil and Tom Yum soup to go. But when I got home, the soup was not Tom Yum soup. It was just spicy chicken soup (their Soup of the day). When they took order, they didn’t even ask for spicy level or confirm the order properly. Seems like they just gave me whatever soup they got. Very disappointed. Definitely won’t go back there again.
