Thai Smile - Thai restaurant in Frankfort - 1193 US-127, USA

I was in Frankfort to look at a used car. I finished just after noon. So, I found Thai Smile restaurant. The place is in a small mostly deserted strip mall. But, the lot was full of cars mostly people in the restaurant. The inside seating area is small but cozy. I ordered the chicken pad Thai. It was outstanding. I highly recommend.

5 ⭐️ Customer service, thank you all for your efforts. This restaurant has been in the same location for the last 15+ years. Presently, a hole in the wall as Big Lots is no longer in business beside them, and all left in what used to be a large shopping center is the restaurant, a liquor store, and subpar Dollar General. Don’t let the sketchy vibe of the nearly empty shopping center deter you from driving in there during daylight hours, specifically midday. I think I may have gotten the wrong thing because I will absolutely not get this again and not even sure if I want to go back. I ordered (takeout is the only available option) Three Flavored Chicken (white rice and 1 star spicy level) and a couple of crab Rangoons. I would get the crab Rangoons again, the chicken was sub par at best, do not let looks deceive you. The veggies and rice were flavorless. The broccoli looked and tasted like it’d been hanging out in the hot sun til I got there for pickup. The chicken, fried breading was mushy and didn’t hold any sauce well. I’ll get to the sauce in a moment. The rice, mushy & flavorless, soaked up most all the sauce and was still flavorless. If there was any sauce to begin with, it was all in the bottom of this well packed dish, soaked up with chicken breading and white rice. $15 dollars not well spent, and can definitely go another 15+ years before trying again. I finally caved after being in town and have heard nothing but rave reviews about this place. Again, I think the dish I got just wasn’t for me (and maybe not even the restaurant), as none of this was worth the time or money.

We go here frequently and the food and service have always been great. My toddler is obsessed with their "peanut butter chicken" (Rama) and crab rangoons. The staff is friendly and the service is quick.

Everything is positive with this place. When you walk in, the owner, greet you talk to you jokes with you. You feel like you're wanted there a very positive place. If you're looking for somewhere to go and really relax and enjoy This is the place great food.

If you're looking for the fast-food Thai experience, then this is your place. Seemed like pre done meals with fresh sauce on top. Staff were friendly and efficient. Fast turnover.

The restaurant is located in an almost empty shopping center. The waiter was trying to be funny by being overly rambunctious. The menus presented to us had not been cleaned. The dish we ordered was watered down and very simplistic but had good flavor. The restaurant uses disposable dishware and cutlery. Overpriced for what you get as a whole.

Thai is my favorite cuisine, and this place is the best I’ve ever had besides Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas. Their Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles)… so flavorful, perfectly spiced, and fresh meat/vegetables. Chicken and shrimp, both of which I’m kinda picky about, were absolutely amazing. I ordered online, and I was greeted by a friendly host who gave me some extra sauces in case I ordered a weak spice level. The 20 star was excellent, and I love spicy food. I think I’ll get 30 next time. If you’re thinking about making the drive from Lexington to get this, do it. I have some favorites in Lex but this will be my new go-to if I want the best.

Thai Smile is the perfect restaurant when you’re craving Thai. The staff are very nice and friendly; the food is fantastic!
