Good food, nice people. Fast service. What more can you ask for?

Diner Review №2

Diner Review №3

The food was fabulous, but if you are in a hurry, this is not the place for you. There was a wait for the food because they only had 1 person making the sushi. The servers kept our glasses full and were very attentive. I feel like there were too many tables jammed into the dining room area.

Diner Review №6

Had to wait 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order. We came to eat sushi.... They told us they were not serving sushi, but then made sushi for the table next to us. The beef in the beef and broccoli was rubbery. I'm very disappointed because we normally have such a great experience at this establishment. I can't say that I'll be back anytime soon.

Diner Review №7

The ginger entree, with your choice of protein, is outstanding. Fast service and reasonable prices.

Diner Review №8

Amazimg food, service, and atmosphere.

Diner Review №9

Had take out 2 weeks ago and the food was terrible. Pad Thai and Pad See ew and the meat was beyond dry and tasted like rubber road kill. It’s usually really good. Went again tonight and the host didn’t speak one word to us. Held up two fingers and walked away. My wife and I looked at each other questioning whether or not we should follow. He threw the menus down and walked away. Still not one word spoken. Sat there for 5 minutes and left. The place seems to have gone down hill and customer service is non existent.

Diner Review №10

PRIK KHING Chicken… one word: DELICIOUS!
Seated right away. Prices are reasonable. Great place for groups(8), by yourself, or to go. If you are in the area, definitely check it out!

Diner Review №12

One of the better dinner spots in all of Montgomery. Good ambiance, efficient service, and staff did well handling a full house. Huge portions, delicious pad Thai. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №13

A Montgomery favorite. I go out of my way to visit!

Diner Review №14

The most delicious Thai food that we have ever had ( and we’ve had a lot!) from the elegant dining atmosphere to the wait staff to the food itself and all the eclectic decorations this was an absolutely great decision to stop and eat here! We went at 3 which is considered the dinner menu. I’d like to come back and try their lunch menu too. The price was reasonable and a pleasant surprise. A plus is they are located near Riverfront Park and it was an easy walk to enjoy there after our delicious dinner. Thank you, Railroad Thai- we would definitely like to return!

Diner Review №15

This place was great! Fresh food and quick service! Portions were generous and delicious. My only complaint was a lady at another table complaining about everything. My wife and I found this place to be perfect for our Saturday afternoon along the river.

Diner Review №16

Beautiful restaurant. The food all tastes like a diabetic coma waiting. I see all these rave reviews and drove off the interstate to have lunch on our way to coast. Poor Montgomery needs real Thai because this was anything but wildly delish or even edible- our server could have cared less…..

Diner Review №17

Great

Diner Review №18

The lunch special was just terrible. The thai tea was good and the service was great.

Delicious pannang and basil roll

Diner Review №23

Great food!

Diner Review №24

We went to railroad Thai when we were on my work trip. The sign was not overly advertised which was not a big deal. They have a covered indoor parking in the back of the building so make sure to look for the signs “Lek’s parking”.

I ordered Panang chicken from lunch menu and it was lit! The food came with one spring roll and a cup of clear chicken soup. We were satisfied with the food and service. Will definitely go back.

Diner Review №25

Portion sizes are immense! Flavors out of this world!

Diner Review №26

2nd time visiting, but 1st bad experience after we have to wait almost an hour for our sushi. The explanation: we only have one chef making rolls. Maybe a heads up about longer wait time would have helped the situation.

Diner Review №27

Told water I had a seafood allergy. Didn't tell me that they crossed contaminated cook my spring rolls. They do not cater to people with seafood allergy.

Diner Review №28

We were visiting and looking for a spot to meet up with family, with options for both meat eaters and vegans. If you're not familiar with the area, this place is easy to miss. The sign outside is pretty small, and to make things trickier, it's tucked inside a building full of offices. After some wandering, we finally found it and were warmly welcomed.

Now, when we started checking out the menu, we noticed that vegan items weren’t clearly labeled, so we had to play 21 Questions with our server about the ingredients. He tried his best to answer, but it didn’t inspire much confidence—especially when I asked what a Thai punch was, and he said, “A punch made by Thai people.” I couldn’t tell if he was trying to be funny or just didn’t know. Unfortunately, the follow-up questions didn’t go much smoother.

But once we got our food, all was forgiven. The dishes tasted way better than I expected, so despite the confusing start, the meal ended on a high note.

Diner Review №29

This place will NOT disappoint!! I had the Massaman Thai….superb!! Hubby had the Poke Bowl….it was so fresh and a hefty portion too!! This will definitely be a stop for us when we are traveling through Montgomery, AL again.

Diner Review №30

A very good dining experience. Great atmosphere in a repurposed train station.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Can't go wrong with Thai food here. One of the best in Montgomery. Great location for sure.

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Food was excellent and service was friendly & fast. The massaman curry and spicy beef dishes were both great. We also got thai punch which is a fun non-alcoholic option. Definitely would reccomend trying!

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

We love Lek's and visit regularly. The food and service are consistently very good, and we enjoy the restaurant's atmosphere and location.

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

Amazing food and great atmosphere!

Diner Review №40

Amazing employees who know their customers. If you like Thai, this is the place.

Diner Review №41

Food was delicious and the staff was responsive to the size of our group.

Diner Review №42

Over priced for run of the mill food.

Diner Review №43

Nice place. Food was good, but I have definitely had better thai food. Service was as to be expected.

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

Delicious food and great sushi.

Diner Review №46

Food selection is huge and it's ALL really good!! I highly recommend coming for dinner. The sushi selection is super long and well diverse.

Diner Review №47

Such a kind staff and delicious food!

Diner Review №52

We enjoyed our experience for lunch today. We were from outta town and our friend recommended this location. We all had VEGAN plates which tasted good. The service was good and the facility was cleaned and organized. The bathrooms are outside the front door.
Pro tip: park around back of the building in the shade for free. There is also a bathroom outside in the parking lot.

Diner Review №53

Note to self: Order beef with broccoli. it should have those delicious mushroom caps & sliced carrots. The pad see ew is delicious, but beef with broccoli is where it's at.

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Great lunch specials

Diner Review №57

I went with a group. My food was a little dry, but great flavor. Everyone else loved their food, essentially the drunken noodles. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Diner Review №58

This place was awesome!! Great atmosphere and servers were very attentive. Food was delicious and freshly made. Dessert was on point as well!! Definitely recommend!!

Diner Review №59

The worst Thai food I've ever had in 25 years. Pad Thai had a sweet plum sauce, no peanuts. Beef salad was dry with a drop of dressing. I asked for more dressing & Waiter refused claiming there wasn't any available. Chicken satay was boiled and drowning in a sweet sauce with no peanut sauce. Not worth $56.00!!!

Diner Review №60

Think twice! I have been dining here for years, but since new management, the service and food have gone down. It took forever for the appetizers to come out THEN I had to send COLD appetizers back, the entree came out lukewarm, and we were never offered a refill on our drinks. The waitress was not very good, she always messes something up! The last few times we ate there, she acted like she did not want to wait on us. I will not be dining there again and will tell all of my friends, family, and associates to steer clear!

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Delicious food in a quaint little restaurant. Definitely recommend the mixed vegetables with chicken.

Diner Review №63

Visiting from out of town and found this locally owned Thai place. Everything was delicious!! Tom Kha is a must!!! Spicy edamame (not pictured) also very good!
Check it out!

Diner Review №64

The Thai salad, spring rolls and green curry were delicious! I asked for extra Thai spicy and they did not disappoint, it was spicy and delicious. The atmosphere was comfortable and the décor was nice. I asked for some vegan options and recommendations and they were helpful.

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

Came in for lunch, great options and service. Staff was friendly and the restaurant is clean. Not a fast meal, nor were we expecting it to be, but it was fantastic.

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

The service was horrible and the staff was extremely rude. My food was placed at the table and it wasn't what I ordered. I informed the server and he rudely removed the plate from the table. My plate came back and the food was extremely spicy. Also, we were the last party to sit and the last to finish. We heard a hostess rudely say, how people be sitting around don't want to leave. If you got the order correct the first time, you wouldn't have people sitting around. The service, food, and atmosphere was 0/10.

Diner Review №69

I started my visit to Leo’s online. When I got there and placed my to go order the staff informed me they didn’t have the items I wanted. I showed them the online menu and they informed me that it was an old menu. I had to decide on a new meal.

Diner Review №70

Delicious Thai and sushi. The atmosphere is beautiful with large ceilings and adequate seating. The staff is organized and respectful, however once your food is delivered you'll never see them again until your bill comes. Regardless, everything my party ordered came out fast, accurate, and absolutely delicious.

Diner Review №71

Nice place. I had the red curry with beef. The place filled up fast for dinner.

Diner Review №72

Awesome place for train lovers

Diner Review №73

Probably the best Thai food in the Chapel Hill and Carrboro area. Great portions, friendly staff and decor, and the food is generally very good. Definitely recommended. Parking can occasionally be challenging give the location, but have always gotten lucky

My wife is from Thailand, she said the food tasted similar from dish to dish. But she liked it overall.

Diner Review №80

The best sushi in town !

Diner Review №81

We love Railroad Thai! Sushi is always on point. Their spicy tuna is my favorite in town, but we still love some bama crunch, dancing eel, & krusty krab. If it's not sushi, the basil chicken thai style is my go-to. My kids loooove their soup and spring rolls!

Diner Review №82

Great place, great food and great service. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

Food was not authentic Thai. Pad Thai was soaking in teriyaki sauce. Fried rice dishes were OK, but nothing outstanding. Will not be going back.

Diner Review №85

We were with someone that was there a number of times before so they suggested certain things. Was delicious.

Diner Review №86

Very delicious food. The service is excellent goes along with the ambiance.

Revisited this location: Quality of the food remains the same, fresh and delicious ingredients. Their "Pad Thai" is a must try. Beware of the Lunch rush!

Diner Review №87

Good sushi.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

This restaurant is highly understaffed, but the food made up for it. Recommend a jacket if you sit on the inside.

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

Tofu drunken noodles 10 out of 10.

Diner Review №93

Delicious sushi, dinner entrees and crab angel appetizers.

Diner Review №94

There’s an amazing ambience to this old rustic place. Great selection of dishes and different flavors from a routine Thai place.

Diner Review №95

Pad thai was hard to eat. Overly sweet. I was really hungry, but I could only manage to eat half before throwing the rest out. Way too concentrated sauce--possibly both salt in addition to the sugar. Hopefully an off day, but enough to not want to try risking it again. If you're sensitive to this kind of stuff, I would not recommend.

Diner Review №96

We had a party of 8 and was easily accommodated. Every single thing everyone ordered was out of this world!

Diner Review №97

The atmosphere is great and antique. I got the Red Curry 0/10 actually tasted like pee. My friend got the pineapple fried rice and it didn’t taste like anything. Sushi was good. Also got the desert lava cake. Came with no ice cream and was not melted. CHOCOLATE ON INSIDE IS COLD AND HARD. Service was also terrible. Spilled drink on one of my friends and was rude.

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

I went here with my coworkers a little while before Christmas. It was my first experience with Thai food and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Thai tea was definitely a new favorite. Beautiful decor and a great overall vibe, 10/10 recommend!

Diner Review №100

I've been eating at Lex's since I was thirteen. They have always priced amazing food and wonderful service.

Diner Review №101

Sushi and Thai food! It's located in the historic Union Station building. It's great!

Diner Review №102

Friendly quaint place to eat. Soup and spring roll were amazing. Pud Thai not that good.

Diner Review №103

Fantastic food. Very impressed with the value. Also the Sake was solid. Thank you for dinner. I am very pleased.

Diner Review №104

I would pass on this place. The volcano sushi was vomit inducing and left me sick the next day.

Diner Review №105

This place had delicious pad Thai and really yummy clay in a pot meal that my partner had . Would highly recommend this place the food is AMAZING. Came back today for the second day in a row

Diner Review №106

Nice food , love this 😍

Diner Review №107

The SPICY Thai Style Basil Chicken 🐔 is where it's at. Enjoy

Diner Review №108

Very happy!! We enjoyed the Thai not so much the sushi!! But it was all good!

Diner Review №109

Great food!

Diner Review №110

Food is always good. I almost don't want to write this but it's a good idea that you get there early, before 11:30, or wait until after 1pm, as it gets crowded a lot. They do have a great patio when weather permits. Been going there for 20 plus years. We had a huge family gathering for our wedding that the dates were mixed up. They somehow figured out how to cook for 90 people on a Thursday night when they thought it was supposed to be Friday night and only my wife, her mom and I were the wiser. Highly recommend this place. And it's better than the other Leks on the Atlanta Highway, which I only visited once and don't know if they're open there still. Last thing. If it says that the dish is spicy, that's no joke. I love spicy food but they really add some zip!

Diner Review №111

I did some kind of appetizer that consisted of unpeeled avocado, imitation crab, and shaved apple… all in a martini glass. It’s the most pointless thing I’ve ever been served. The entree was a bit better. Yikes.

Best Thai in the City. Fun location. Everything is on point.

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Good food! A lot of the dishes may not be the traditional flavors of other Thai restaurants but they are very tasty.

Diner Review №121

The spring rolls were okay. Had the spicy chicken. Not too bad although the sauce was a little watery. The sushi 🍣 looked okay. Prices seemed reasonable. No military discount. Found that hard to believe so close to an air force base. They said they were losing $10k a month giving the discount. Not good enough for a return visit. Plenty of parking.

Diner Review №122

The restaurant is located at a historic location near the waterfront. Rustic with a feel to it. The service and the food are authentic but do remind them about what spice level in terms of Thai Hot you want.
Ingredients are fresh.
Must visit for food lovers.

No substitutes!

Diner Review №126

Great place and extremely great customer service

Diner Review №127

Seafood rolls çok lezzetliydi.

Diner Review №128

15 minutes to get water after we were sat down. My food wasn't good never saw the waiter until it was time to give us a check. Didn't even ask about the food I didn't touch at all. How pathetic. If you've had pad Thai at any of a hundred restaurants or so this is nothing like any other one. Smells/ tastes like feet

Diner Review №129

Food quality has declined under new management. I got the chicken curry and after waiting 55 minutes the veggies were raw uncooked and had two stems that I had to pick out of my mouth.

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

Gorgeous Thai food, great lunch menu and fantastic price. The best meal I have had in many months. The subtle flavourings and quality ingredients are hard to find these days. Sadly I don't live in Montgomery or I would be here every week!

The pho was good.

Diner Review №140

Food was great had the chicken in a clay pot. They need at least one more wait staff, they had two large groups and could barely keep up with them and the other smaller tables. They did apologize for the delay. Love the building and train depot decor, will try them again sometime soon and see if it was just a off night.

Diner Review №141

Absolutely fantastic meal. The food was delicious, location perfect, and the building is gorgeous!

Diner Review №142

I had the sweet and sour chicken. It has tomatoes, onions, green peppers,carrots, and cucumbers with a red sweet sauce. It was great. The fried cheesecake was amazing! I recommend this place for anyone who wants a great meal at a great price.

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

Massaman curry was amazing. The spice level, chicken, and cashews was just perfect. The dumplings were a great appetizer.

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

I understand that the restaurant was very busy, but they were not serving people in the order they arrived (one we had sat down) . It was me and one other person, and 5 other groups with more people , and some with the same as us… got their food before us even though we were waiting for longer. We did not have a complicated order, the overall service was not great. Then the food was very mid (not all that great) the pad Thai had a very predominant vinegar taste which was interesting, I did not finish the meal. We waited for a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes. NOT worth the wait…Sorry.

Diner Review №147

Diner Review №148

Had a great experience at Railroad Thai. Slightly busy at 5pm on a Saturday but the service was still quick and great! Indoor and outdoor seating available right on the river. The restaurant is located in an old train station with amazing architecture. Spring roll appetizer was awesome. We got stir fry and curry. Both dishes were amazing and we were able to get extra rice with both dishes. Hot saké was free flowing. If you like spicy they can definitely ramp up the spice level. Enough food to have left overs. We are going to go back again before we leave the area. Thanks!

On a business trip. Stopped by for lunch. Food was good, service was fast. Sorry didn't take any pictures.

Diner Review №154

Diner Review №155

Great service, okay food, good location that is convenient to other Montgomery activities. I had the massaman curry in restaurant and got some green curry to go. Both seemed to be made with too much water in the coconut milk, so the curry flavor was diluted.

Diner Review №156

Food was average, but the prices were high in relation to food quality.

Diner Review №157

Loved the chicken wings!

Diner Review №158

We love this restaurant. It's a great place to bring people from out of town or just dine with a friend. The food is always excellent. You might want to make a reservation for large group if 6 or more.

Such a gem. We stopped here on a road trip and the food was so delicious! Even with a big lunch rush, there wasn’t a long wait for the food. I recommend the pad see ew.

Diner Review №169

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

The food and service were top notch. We had a group of 18 people. Our cups were always full and food came out quickly. The portions were huge and the food tasted amazing. Will definitely be back.

Diner Review №172

It is a great Thai restaurant. The food was delicious. I got a chicken soup and noodles with beef. That was amazing. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes to eat healthy and good.

Diner Review №173

Excellent Thai food! The spicy edamame was incredible and I don’t even really like edamame all that much, it was perfectly seasoned and served warm. All of us left fully satisfied and if we weren’t on a trip, we would have had plenty for leftovers. Highly recommended.

Diner Review №174

Just real good food

Diner Review №180

Very good. Open when others aren’t. A welcome departure from the seemingly endless bbq and fried food in the city. I opted for my standard Thai litmus test of Drunken Noodles, medium spice. The spice level was legit, and the dish was very good with crazy big portion. I ate maybe 1/3. Easily shareable. Staff were friendly and available when I needed them, but otherwise left me to my meal. This definitely goes on my standing restaurant list for my numerous work trips to MGM. Recommend. (I save 5 stars for places that blow my socks off.)

Diner Review №181

We both ordered the Poke bowls and WOW!!! Excellent and full of flavor!!! We’ll be back!💕

Diner Review №182

Food was mediocre. Servers were very polite, but service was very slow. Expect to wait 20-30 minutes to close out your bill.

Diner Review №183

Diner Review №184

I ordered Pad Thai which is like the easiest thing in the world but it took 40 minutes to cook. I was about ready to walk out and it wasn't even busy I don't know what happened... Just don't be in a hurry I guess.

Diner Review №185

Yum

Food was outstanding, cocktail decent too!
Service was slow, even before the dinner rush. Outside patio was very nice overlooking the train station.

Diner Review №189

Diner Review №190

Food was delicious but service was a little slow. But they did seem to be short staffed and had 3 very large tables seated and the patio outside was full as well so considering the situation they did great

Diner Review №191

Great food and good service.

Diner Review №193

The service was terrible 😔

Diner Review №194

Diner Review №195

Everything we've tried here is excellent. Fast and friendly service as well. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №196

Diner Review №197

Worst Masaman I’ve ever had. Chicken tough, cashews burned, sauce thin and bland with a peculiar taste, and even the rice was bad. Didn’t have avocados. Don’t know how they have stayed in business so long. It’s not hard to make a good Masaman.

Diner Review №198

Diner Review №199

Food tasted great but it was appetizer sized portions

Diner Review №200

Food was delicious! Will definitely be coming back!
