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.

Diner Review №4

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.

Diner Review №7

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.

Diner Review №8

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.

Diner Review №9

Our family has dined at Lek's for over 30 years. Great food and amazing service. Great lunch option too.

Diner Review №10

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!

Diner Review №11

Delicious food and attentive wait staff. We really enjoyed it!

Diner Review №12

Interior needs a makeover. Food is pretty good. Sweet and Sour Chicken is full of chicken and veggies. Level 3 heat is just right. If your looking for Thai, definitely check this place out. Parking lot is being redone, but they are open.

Diner Review №13

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.

Diner Review №14

The chicken larb is fantastic!
Wonderful little place to eat!

Diner Review №15

Diner Review №16

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.

Diner Review №17

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.

Diner Review №18

Some of the best most traditional Thai I've had in a while.

Tom Kha soup will make your tongue slap your brain! #delish

Diner Review №21

The food and service were excellent. Very cozy.

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

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.

Diner Review №24

Our favorite Asian food. Always perfect

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

Soup was delicious! Very attentive to My needs. Definitely worth going back!

Diner Review №27

Highest quality food in town along with friendly attentive service from wonderful people!!! We love this restaurant and the pleasure it brings us!

Diner Review №28

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.

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №30

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!

Diner Review №31

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!!

Diner Review №34

This is the hest restaurant in Montgomery!

Diner Review №35

very kind lady at the front and servers, food was great and fast too. from biloxi will come back

Diner Review №36

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.

Diner Review №37

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.

Diner Review №46

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.

Diner Review №47

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.

Diner Review №48

Overall it’s a solid place with a huge menu and tons of options…
Great service, and above average food.

Diner Review №49

Our portions sized were quite big. (Lunch time) server was extremely nice & welcoming.

Diner Review №52

A Montgomery staple.

Diner Review №53

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!

Diner Review №54

Food is not that tasty.

Diner Review №55

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.

Diner Review №56

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.

Diner Review №57

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!

Diner Review №58

Everything was great and would most definitely return.

Diner Review №59

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.

Diner Review №60

Looking for great Pad Thai, here ya go!

Diner Review №61

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.

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

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.

Diner Review №64

Amazing food

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

Delicious food in Montgomery. I will be back.

Diner Review №71

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.

Diner Review №72

Good food, but not a big enough selection.

Diner Review №73

We went twice during our 10 day stay in the area!! What more can I say? It was very good!

Diner Review №74

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.

Diner Review №75

The noodles are overcooked on the dishes I’ve had, and they have been just nice enough.

Diner Review №76

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.

Diner Review №77

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.

Diner Review №78

20+ guests at our gathering. Individual orders. Served very well. Knowledgeable staff. Food was excellent.

Diner Review №79

Diner Review №80

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!

Diner Review №81

Diner Review №82

Really enjoy their Pad Thai!

Diner Review №83

Always great we love our waitress Kia. Only thing was they were out of the Duck hubby wanted.

Diner Review №84

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.

Diner Review №85

Excellent service and food. Like it better that the Railroad site. Will definitely be back

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

Dropped in for takeout. Very polite at front desk

Diner Review №91

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.

Diner Review №92

A long time restaurant staple in Montgomery. The food is always fantastic and the restaurant staff is super friendly.

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

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

The food came out so fast. I love the customer service, I felt very welcomed. The food was ok, it was just very sweet. I had the curry chicken with white rice.

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

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!

Diner Review №105

Fantastic, great service, good quick lunch with an authentic feel

Diner Review №118

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

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

Good thai food

Diner Review №123

Steady good food. Incredible service. Love the green curry but substitute chicken for beef. Great soup - Tom Ka Gai. Awesome.

Diner Review №124

Awesome will be going back..

Diner Review №125

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.

Diner Review №126

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!!

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

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!

Diner Review №132

I love Leks! They have some of the best Thai food in Montgomery. I have never been disappointed in any food I have had. Their menu is extensive and flavorful!

Diner Review №133

Love the pud Thai and the spring rolls!

Diner Review №134

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).

Diner Review №135

Diner Review №136

Awesome food and service, as usual.

Diner Review №137

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.

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

Great experience

Diner Review №140

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.

Diner Review №147

Diner Review №148

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.

Diner Review №149

My first time here and the food is excellent.

Diner Review №165

Diner Review №166

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.

Diner Review №167

Stopped in for lunch. A slightly different taste on Pad Thai but I left with a full stomach!

Diner Review №169

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.

Diner Review №172

Good menu and good service.

Diner Review №173

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!!

Diner Review №174

I like that type food

Diner Review №175

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.

Diner Review №176

Diner Review №177

Great food and service!

Diner Review №178

Very good food and sweet staff. Thank you!!

Diner Review №179

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.

Diner Review №180

Solid thai

Diner Review №181

This place is beyond tasty. Im going to crave this all the time now

Diner Review №182

Incredible pad Thai. Highly recommend

Diner Review №183

Diner Review №184

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.

They use red snapper in their fish dishes. The three flavor fish is delicious. You can order it steamed or fried.

Diner Review №196

Diner Review №197

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.
