Traditional Thai cooking & sushi rolls, plus beer & wine, offered in a low-key atmosphere.
This place is very beautiful, clean and have a good vibes. Food is also very tasty. When you enter the place you will feel happy by the decorations, cleanness, environment. Staff are very friendly. Now they open for dinner great. They also have a terrace. Parking also free for the customer. And they also have a ramp for wheelchair. You can check the photo which I have uploaded for more information. And last price is reasonable, and the food quantities is more. One person order is enough for two person. Go and enjoy a good tasty food . I take to go.
Best Thai food I’ve had in Montgomery! Fresh, flavorful food! Items arrived quickly after ordering and were spectacular. I’m not vegan but decided to go with tofu and our waitress asked if egg was still ok, loved that attention to detail!! The dumplings were fab. Make sure you try this place out!!
Very nice people had a great time Food was a very reasonable price with a large amount took me 2 days to eat And the food was very good I will definitely be going back
Service was slow, my waters forgot about me & served other guests that arrived after me. My food wasn’t hot or fresh, portions were small, I asked for level 4 spicy but it was bland. Worst Thai food I’ve ever eaten. Not authentic at all. Felt like I was eating a microwave dinner.
This is a terrific family-owned business in Montgomery that we have enjoyed for over 25 years. The food is delicious and consistently good. If you tried a dish 10 years ago and liked it, it will be just as good today. Lek is a real person who is known to visit with patrons in his restaurant and knows his regulars. His family members have cooked, hosted and served there. It's a Montgomery institution.
Delicious food. It was hot and waiting for me when I came to pick it up. A bonus was that the person who answered the phone was a native English speaker. Other than the decor, I can't really comment on the atmosphere because I was only in there for a minute to pick up my food.
My wife and I love Lek's. Always good and consistent. We try to get a different menu item on each visit,and have not yet found a single thing that we don't like. Service is always friendly, and they always have a new suggestion for us to try, which we do of course. They are tucked back in the corner, but make it a thing to add to your to do list. This is definitely one of our go-to places!
Excellent food with amazing flavor and a very nice portion for the money. I had the Basil beef and chicken with rice and my wife had sweet and sour shrimp with rice. Bothe were very delicious.
Very nice people had a great time Food was a very reasonable price with a large amount took me 2 days to eat And the food was very good I will definitely be going back
One of Montgomery's oldest and best Thai restaurants. Authentic Thai, and yes you can get real Thai HOT spicy entrees. Excellent spring rolls, soups, noodles, rice. I have eaten here since 1992, so you know it's a good Montgomery tradition.
Fresh food and great service.

Wow!!! The food was amazing, service was incredible.
I had the tofu Pad Thai, and my husband had the Chicken Hot Pot. We shared the fresh spring rolls. Everything was DELICIOUS.
Our family has dined at Lek's for over 30 years. Great food and amazing service. Great lunch option too.
The best Namsod anywhere!!! My whole family orders Namsod every time we go and we often pick up a couple orders to enjoy over the weekend. Other restaurants in Alabama don’t put as many ingredients in it or will contain pieces of fat which I dislike! I also prefer Leks spring rolls over any others, they contain quality filling and crispy outside and the dipping sauce is delicious. I love love love Leks Taste of Thailand! Thank you!
Delicious food and attentive wait staff. We really enjoyed it!
Food did not seem fresh. Food was no where to the caliber of other thai restaurants we had same dishes in thr same area. Atmosphere dated but clean. Staff friendly. Spent more money on less dishes than the normal amount we would order for 2 more dishes.... won't be back unfortunately.
The chicken larb is fantastic!
Wonderful little place to eat!
The portion size is very very small for $10+ dollars. My food came out in a child's bowl. It had good flavor but it was only enough for a small toddler.
My seared tuna poke bowl was frozen and barely thawed. Fruit was icy. Had to ask for salt. Sushi rolls were ok but not great. Waiter ignored us for over 15 minutes, was brusque and bordering on rude. The air conditioning was blasting and it was uncomfortable. They cannot accommodate any allergies.
Some of the best most traditional Thai I've had in a while.
Tom Kha soup will make your tongue slap your brain! #delish
The food and service were excellent. Very cozy.
Quick take-out stop for fried rice w/shrimp and a couple of spring rolls- the fried rice had all the necessary ingredients and was aesthetically appealing- but sadly, no flavor. The spring rolls were a bit oily. The atmosphere seemed cozy, but the overall decor needs some updates.
Our favorite Asian food. Always perfect
Soup was delicious! Very attentive to My needs. Definitely worth going back!
Highest quality food in town along with friendly attentive service from wonderful people!!! We love this restaurant and the pleasure it brings us!
I have been eating at this place for over 30 years. I love their Thai spaghetti, spring rolls, and soups. If I had to choose 1 restaurant to eat at daily it would be this one.
Stopped by for lunch with a grounp of about 8. Friendly, fast service and good food. Spring rolls are made in house and worth the extra charge if your lunch selection doesn't include them. They do come out piping hot, though! I had the Red Curry at spice level 2 (1-5) and will probably try 3 next time. A friend commented that her level 5 Thai Hot was not too hot, so take that for what it's worth. Another friend had a sausage hit pot that was deliciously exotic and very flavorful.
Friendly staff and quick service, combined with the tasty food means we will be back!
I’ve been a customer since I was 15 and I love the original location and staff!
The best place to eat in Montgomery....hands down!!
This is the hest restaurant in Montgomery!
very kind lady at the front and servers, food was great and fast too. from biloxi will come back
There was a time when I would have rated Lek's a 5. My wife and I have eaten there on our anniversary multiple times, and it was the only place we'd eat Thai food. Now the prices have increased and the portions have decreased. I recently ordered Beef Fried Rice and there was very, very little beef in it. The lunch time menu is a little better, because you get soup as well, but they've cut out the spring roll that used to be part of the lunch special. One reviewer accurately described our experience. If you go at lunch, after your server brings the food to your table, you won't see her again. I don't know what happened or why, and it saddens us, but I can't imagine us eating there again.
I know the owner and wait staff. They have always been happy and
Accommodating to all guest. If you like tye food, this is your place.
Delicious food and great service.
Great food. Long island iced tea was superb!
great food, great service!
Food was delicious and staff were awesome.
We have been coming here for years and the food is always great with excellent service.
I have tried many Thai restaurants when traveling, and Lek's is one of the best!
June 2023, still the best Thai restaurant anywhere I've tried throughout my travels.
The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. This restaurant did not have wireless pay (Applepay). I ordered the crispy tofu and vegetable Tom Kha, and they were delicious. I asked the waiter if the food was vegan, and they were transparent. The waiter was sweet and welcoming. The experience and food was a pleasure.
Our portions sized were quite big. (Lunch time) server was extremely nice & welcoming.
A Montgomery staple.
Leks time is one of the more reliable restaurants serving good food—that’s not just my word for it. This review is a culmination of over 100 military guests that I have taken here over the last couple years. Whether it was for lunch or dinner, everyone has always commented on how their food is so delicious. It is a popular restaurant in downtown Montgomery, so eating there at lunch can be a wait at times. However, the variety and price of the lunch menu is worth it. Leks is able to support large groups with a heads up. Great spot for yummy Thai food!
Excellent experience. Our family was traveling through and we’re grateful we stopped here! The spring rolls were exceptional as well as the fried rice. Our server was so sweet and kind. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend.
I had been here pre-covid and everything was great. This time it was pretty bad. I opted for to go this time. The girl that too my order was super sweet and the food was ready in about 15 min. My Tom ga soup was just chicken broth with canned mushrooms, onions, and chopped tomatoes with a chunk or two of boiled chicken. The green curry flavor was good but the vegetables were frozen peas and carrots with a couple chunks of red bell pepper. Very disappointed with that. The chicken fried rice had hardly ANY chicken in it and the mixed vegetables with shrimp still had the tails on and half of the dish was rice! Nothing tasted fresh, more like previously frozen. I hate to be so negative but for the price we paid and the food we received it just wasn’t worth it. The portions were way smaller than I would expect for dinner let alone the price I paid. I will go here again and give them another try. The flavors were delicious. Everyone has bad days and maybe this was one of theirs.
It's Leks.... What more can you say? If you desire well prepared Thai food, go give them a try. No, it's not cheap... But it's well done, clean, and very good!
Everything was great and would most definitely return.
No matter what you get, the food at Lek's is always great, but the absolute best part of eating at Lek's is the service. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and always seem to remember you, even if you haven't been in in a while. It almost feels like going over to a relative's house for dinner. Service like that really sets it apart from other restaurants, and I love that.
Looking for great Pad Thai, here ya go!
I've been coming here since I was a kid. I've seen them change over time, and while sadly they don't have sushi anymore it (They stopped shortly before the pandemic and pretty sure the pandemic killed it) They're still as good as always! The staff is extremely kind and has seen me over the years grow up. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Generally speaking, this is some of the best Thai food in Montgomery. I do think the Atlanta Highway location has better food, but the restaurant itself downtown is significantly nicer. I got the red curry chicken which was good but nothing near as good as the Atlanta Highway location. I am glad they have the sushi back, as it was good. I would recommend anyone who likes Thai food to try it. Note just because the Atlanta Highway location taste better doesn’t mean this location isn’t good. It’s just not AS good.
Amazing food
One of the best dining experiences I've ever had.
Delicious food in Montgomery. I will be back.
I had the volcano chicken. The chicken was moist and tender. I’m very picky on sauces and it was to my liking. Atmosphere was clean, wonderful pieces of furniture, and the fish tank was well maintained. The service was friendly, helpful, and patient.
Good food, but not a big enough selection.
We went twice during our 10 day stay in the area!! What more can I say? It was very good!
The dining experience is always nice. The food is good, I haven't tried anything yet that just blows my mind but it's a big menu. However the appetizer combo plate is really great. The fried rice is good as well, but the service is great and atmosphere is very quiet and calm. It's a good place to grab lunch when you need a break from the hustle of work.
The noodles are overcooked on the dishes I’ve had, and they have been just nice enough.
Excellent taste and price. Only $9.95 for garlic shrimp at lunch and free additional steam rice bowl
I love this restaurant and I will come over again.
I have been going to this place for over 20 years. The service is always friendly and professional. The food was delicious. ,
However, the prices have increased and the portions are considerably less.
20+ guests at our gathering. Individual orders. Served very well. Knowledgeable staff. Food was excellent.
I have been coming to the restaurant since I was a baby 21 years ago and the waitresses still remember me! It’s like greeting family. This place will always have a special place in my heart. The food is ALWAYS amazing and hits the spot when I’m craving it. The Thai Tea is always a must. It’s such a comforting and warm atmosphere. Of course, I can’t forget to mention their beloved Pacu fish who I’ve also been seeing since I was a baby. This place is a must!
Really enjoy their Pad Thai!
Always great we love our waitress Kia. Only thing was they were out of the Duck hubby wanted.
Service was slow, my waters forgot about me & served other guests that arrived after me. My food wasn’t hot or fresh, portions were small, I asked for level 4 spicy but it was bland. Worst Thai food I’ve ever eaten. Not authentic at all. Felt like I was eating a microwave dinner.
Excellent service and food. Like it better that the Railroad site. Will definitely be back
Dropped in for takeout. Very polite at front desk
AWESOME ALWAYS AWESOME!!!
Lek's has been here a long time
I stopped by after not having been here in a while. The food is pretty good and the service is too. I usually get the chicken red curry, and it's very good but not as quite as good as it once was. I would give this place a 5 but the restaurant is showing it's age. Could use some minor remodelling.
A long time restaurant staple in Montgomery. The food is always fantastic and the restaurant staff is super friendly.
Been visiting this restaurant for years. Consistency Consistency Consistency. All restaurants have an ebb and flow but there's is not by much. Great pricing and the lunch specials are a must try. The lunch pad Thai could be put on its own menu. Will always patronize this place when in town
Always enjoyable and delicious
Food is always excellent and staff are so friendly.
Excellent
My wife and I love Lek's. Always good and consistent. We try to get a different menu item on each visit,and have not yet found a single thing that we don't like. Service is always friendly, and they always have a new suggestion for us to try, which we do of course. They are tucked back in the corner, but make it a thing to add to your to do list. This is definitely one of our go-to places!
Fantastic, great service, good quick lunch with an authentic feel
Delicious food and drinks! Super friendly staff too.
I wasn’t happy about my food and the costumer service wasn’t no help so please don’t waste your time going there
Great food and great service!
Always great. Under rated Thai food in Montgomery
Great
Very very disappointed! Used to be fabulous,dusty and dated,food cold,except for spring rolls they are the BEST EVER! Staff very sweet and friendly,Please bring back the old Lek's it was Fabulous!
Just as good as I remembered it! Lek's never disappoints! Everything was delicious and I always love a good Thai tea.
Fresh, tasty, great service. A favorite when I am in town! Definitely recommend!
Warm beer. The website says they have sushi, they have a big banner that says sushi over the sushi bar - haha have not had sushi in years.
Looks like a run down hole in a dying shopping area. Run
Very tasty!
Best food...service top shelf. One of our favorites in Montgomery!!
Good thai food
Steady good food. Incredible service. Love the green curry but substitute chicken for beef. Great soup - Tom Ka Gai. Awesome.
Honestly, this is the best Thai food in Montgomery.
Why only 3 stars? t's spendy and they don't give you much food. It really sucks to pay almost $50 for a meal only to leave hungry. Also, the servers were nice, but didn't come get the check, despite the fact that my wife and I had our hands very full with our children.
It's too bad we won't be back because the food was awesome.
Best Thai food I’ve had in Montgomery! Fresh, flavorful food! Items arrived quickly after ordering and were spectacular. I’m not vegan but decided to go with tofu and our waitress asked if egg was still ok, loved that attention to detail!! The dumplings were fab. Make sure you try this place out!!
I adore Lek's Taste of Thailand! Their food is always freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. I swear their chicken rice soup works wonders when you have a sinus problem or feeling a little sick. I most highly recommend this restaurant!
LOVED the sweet, friendly service and savory food at very fair prices. Nice down home atmosphere.
Love the pud Thai and the spring rolls!
Such good food! My favorites are the red curry chicken, the pud Thai, and the Tom kha. And the staff are always so nice and really try to make sure you have a good dining experience. The decor is lovely with a little fun thrown in (see if you can find Bugs Bunny).
Awesome food and service, as usual.
I was excited to eat here as it had a 4.6 ⭐ rating. The spring rolls were ok and the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew 👎👎 no flavor, and had to add so much siracha to make it edible. If you like it great! I'm sure they make other dishes amazing b/c there is obviously a reason they get huge stars.
Great experience
Pretty terrible food. We ordered takeout and of the three dishes, only the pad Thai was decent. The curry was gross. Very disappointed because the reviews seemed positive but this food was NOT good. $40+ and most of it is going in the trash. Would not order from here again.
Poor service. Intentionally not hiring workers. PPE Fraud
I have eaten at Lek's, off and on since 1995 and every meal was delicious. The service professional and curtious.
This place is very beautiful, clean and have a good vibes. Food is also very tasty. When you enter the place you will feel happy by the decorations, cleanness, environment. Staff are very friendly. Now they open for dinner great. They also have a terrace. Parking also free for the customer. And they also have a ramp for wheelchair. You can check the photo which I have uploaded for more information. And last price is reasonable, and the food quantities is more. One person order is enough for two person. Go and enjoy a good tasty food . I take to go.
My first time here and the food is excellent.
Very expensive for Asian food. And did not serve what I'd gotten there in the past.
Very tasty vegetarian options!!
Amazing food
Definitely one of our favorite restaurants. The Spring Rolls are wonderful! The staff is very friendly and always remembers family members that live out of state. Very friendly atmosphere and clean.
Great Thai food and friendly service.
Great thia tea
This is my second time trying this place. The food is bland.
Incredible food and great service. I ate my fill and still have one maybe two more meals left. If you want great Thai food give them a shot.
We lived in Montgomery for over a decade and this was one our favorite restaurants. Their food is delicious. We loved their roasted duck, pud thai, spicy rice, curries, spring rolls, fried tofu... we reminisce about their food & our experiences. When we come back to town they always remember us. It's a wonderful restaurant filled with wonderful people.
Great
Consistent for years, Lek's provides delicious, fresh Thai food that would be great anywhere in the world. Their spicy house rice is a favorite with an order of spring rolls.
Good menu and good service.
They are always so nice. The staff is always so friendly. In my experience they remember my order even when I haven't been in months! The food is ALWAYS fantastic. You have to try the spring rolls!!
I like that type food
This is hands down the best food in Montgomery. I usually get the pad Thai or chicken red curry. It’s never been a bad experience all the times I’ve eaten there. The Thai tea is perfect as well.
Great food and service!
Very good food and sweet staff. Thank you!!
The staff was very friendly and answered our questions and helped us decide what to order. I got the spiciest curry option they had, but personally didn't think it was super spicy. It was very delicious though. I really liked the Thai Tea as well.
Solid thai
This place is beyond tasty. Im going to crave this all the time now
Incredible pad Thai. Highly recommend
My family and I have always enjoyed Lek's. I have had Pad Thai at multiple restaurants in different states and it has never been as good as Lek's. I'm addition to that the spring rolls are also amazing. To top it off the staff is very friendly and attentive. Every time we visit Montgomery, Lek's is a must stop for our family.
The nicest thai place in mgm
Best ti food in the river region. Fresh veggies fresh everything!!springrolls the best, crab Angel's excellent!!service with a smile. Stop in and say hello to Tim behind the bar.
My favorite Restaurant. I’ve been eating here for thirty years. Still the same after all these years. The soup, spring rolls, Pud thai and thai spaghetti are all my favorites.
Great food excellent taste my first time will be back
Great food!
Good egg rolls
They use red snapper in their fish dishes. The three flavor fish is delicious. You can order it steamed or fried.
I always enjoy eating here. I like how seasoning the food yourself is an option. The food is very good and the waitstaff is excellent. They remember you from previous visits. And it's quiet. I always go to the one on the Atlanta Highway.
The food is fabulous, especially the curry!
