Across from Goodfella's Pizza, this place offers a quiet and quaint option for those who love Sushi and other Asian foods as well as an extensive bourbon list (including Pappy's 23). We went on a Monday night and there were only a handful of people in the restaurant so it was a nice quiet evening. Prices were very reasonable and there are a lot of Asian Tapas offerings and a wide variety of sushi rolls. They even have some vegan options which was important to our group. Their bourbon list is extensive and they have several other options for those not interested in bourbon. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I had the Crab Rangoon Roll and Korean Tacos with Slaw. The roll was tasty and fresh. The tacos were my favorite part as the flavors just melded together and complimented each other nicely. This would be a great place to go with a group of people, grab a bunch of dishes and give everyone a taste.

This restaurant replaces the old Subway. It's an interesting building, if not somewhat awkward. But…read moresomething about it just works. There are some highlights here and one lowlight. First, the owner is awesome. Great guy. You'll want this man to succeed. The spring roll appetizer is awesome. As is the sushi and the bowls. Tried salmon in both and they were fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend. With the stir fry, the chicken was tender. The vegetables were a little stiff. The overall dish lacked flavor. I tried to spruce it up a tad with soy sauce, but to no avail. It was just not salvageable. So, I'll be back. I'll try more sushi and bowls. But I'd avoid the stir fry.

Update 12/03/24: I…read morewas looking to have an order delivered and after viewing their online menu, I had a couple of questions to ask before I could decide if this establishment still offered food options which I could consume. I called and spoke with Wong, and he assured me they still offer gluten-free items. I then asked if they have Pho Ga (chicken broth with chicken as the protein), as I am not a fan of Pho Bo (beef broth with beef as the protein). He said it's not on the menu, but when placing the online order, I could select Beef Pho and add notes stating I wanted chicken broth and chicken as the protein, so that is what I did. I also ordered a gluten-free veggie roll, and had it delivered. The food arrived before the expected delivery time, which was a plus. When I opened my containers, I was surprised and disappointed that the broth was not the chicken broth I ordered, but beef instead. They do offer chicken and rice soup on the menu, so I assumed they had chicken broth, especially after I was instructed to add the instruction notes to my order. The noodles, chicken, and accompaniments were all fresh, but all thrown together in one big pile in the container. This is more of a preference thing for me, as I am accustomed to having them all separate, but this is not a deal breaker by any means. I must say, the chicken was truly divine, succulent even, very moist, and that is difficult to manage for chicken breast. I did try the beef broth, and I did not like it. The gluten-free veggie roll was all grease, I took one bite and the grease oozed out of it. Needless to say it was placed in the bin. I'm not giving up on this establishment, but will go in person to place my orders in the future.

The space itself feels a bit dated and…read morequite heavy... the lighting is very dark, and even moving the dining chairs felt a bit difficult. A lighter, refreshed atmosphere would go a long way. I ended up ordering a few appetizers. The Hot & Sour Soup was the standout... flavorful, comforting, and easily a 5/5 on a cold n wet day. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite hit the mark. The shrimp rolls were below average... mostly lettuce, the shrimps were dried out, and they took about 10 extra minutes to come out. The crab rangoon was the biggest disappointment; the filling had an unpleasant smell and tasted like heavy, clotted cream cheese and there wasn't even an iota of imitation crab meat to justify that name. My friends ordered egg rolls, which actually looked pretty good (I'd say a solid 4/5), and Singapore noodles, which unfortunately looked underwhelming. Overall, there are a few bright spots, especially the soup, but the food quality and atmosphere were inconsistent. With some updates and more attention to freshness and flavor, this place could really improve.

Our only little note: we tried to call in our order several times but no one picked up. I'm sure they were busy!

O.M.G....I have found the authentic Thai restaurant in Kentucky -- Nat's is it!!…read more Nat's is a very unassuming lil takeout only restaurant tucked into the side of McCarthy's Irish Bar and shares a front entrance with an Irish gift shop. It sounds odd, but totally worked! My friend and I walked up one afternoon, ordered food inside the restaurant, was told by the owner to "go next door, order a drink and he will bring the food over". We went to McCarthy's, ordered a couple of Pepsi and sat in the cutest nook by the window. Our orders arrived soon: Kobe beef grapao, shrimp salad. Wow! The flavors are sharp, distinct and intense, like Thai flavors are supposed to be. I would say the grapao's spice level is about medium for me. The salad was so spicy that I couldn't finish it. If you have the tendency to want "Thai Hot" in your dishes, this is the place that can serve it up! If you look at the photos poated by other Yelpers, you'll see many other special menu items not found at any other local Thai places. i cannot wait to come back for them! Btw, there is also a nice courtyard next door w available seating during warmer months.
