    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 2/5 Dennis Johnson M. 3 months ago on Google New
    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.

  • 4/5 Parker H. 10 months ago on Google
    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.

    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.

  • 5/5 Savanna M. 1 year ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Jacob Q. 8 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 2/5 JASON L. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

  • 4/5 Ginger N Barnes M. 1 year ago on Google
    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

  • 1/5 Doug Y. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Lois P. 4 years ago on Google
    We absolutely enjoyed everything. The restaurant was full and looked like they had quite a few regulars. Service was prompt and wait staff were very friendly. We ordered and the food was brought to the table quickly. I ordered the red curry, medium spicy with chicken and Thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The chicken was very tender and I was impressed with how large the chunks of white meat were. My father had the basil with beef and very much enjoyed the flavor and consistency of the brown sauce. We also ordered two cups of the coconut soup with shrimp and were so impressed at the freshness of the shrimp. The soup had amazing tangy flavor and each cup came with three large shrimp! Worth the money for sure.

  • 5/5 Becky R. 2 years ago on Google
    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).

  • 3/5 Matt S. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Linda O. 2 years ago on Google
    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!
