    Spicy Tofu Bowl
    John B.

    It feels more like being in a gas station than being in a Thai restaurant, but there's clearly some quality in the food. A few vegan options are available, and my spicy tofu was definitely spicy but also had the crunch of some fresh vegetables. A lime tea on the side was definitely not tea with a hint of lime; it was a ton of lime but this made for an interesting flavor experience. They also had a food truck, though I suspect it won't see much action during the winter months. They were closing up for the holidays when I visited, and a lot of locals seemed to be rushing in to get a taste before they did.

    This is a local mom and pop shop that just hits the homey feeling spot! Went with a group of about 10 on a Saturday around 5:00 pm and were served rather quickly! Also, we were checked on multiple times to ensure we were having a good time and enjoyed the food. A friend and I shared the: Panag curry w/chicken: 10/10 would get again Spicy pork bowl w/ a jalepeno cilantro cream: 10/10 would get again Thai Tea was also solid With tip, 2 bowls, and drinks with plenty to go were under $40 They also have Pad Thai Fridays, a rotating menu, and something for everyone(including vegetarians) Don't let it being connected to a gas station fool you, it is 1000% worth going and Brian the owner is literally the sweetest and most hospitable person I have ever met! 11/10 will be back again!

    Panang Curry with Tofu Bowl

    Delicious! I was a little skeptical about this place being connected to a gas station but it is a delightful little restaurant. Staff was super friendly and they let us try dishes before ordering. Everything was made fresh while we waited. My husband and I had the curry with tofu and rice and our son had the cashew chicken. Everything was delicious. They also have boba and Thai coffee!! We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

    The staff is fast friendly and courteous. They made suggestions and knew the food. The place is a hole in the wall attached to a gas station convenience store but don't let that fool ya. The food was excellent. I had the spicy pork rice and my husband had the pad Thai both were delicious and a good sized portion for the price. The menu changes with the season. They don't serve their soups during the summer months.

    Basil chicken

    Don't be fooled by the attachment to the gas station. This place is tasty fast food Thai. The staff is super friendly and let us sample several options. Each dish perfect for lunch potions. Has both indoor and covered outdoor patio seating. Great for a fall afternoon. Will definitely be back!

    Good service . Sample before you eat. Pad Thai was tasty and Thai hot level was yum. Quantity of the food was good. Spring roll was good too and big. Gas station location is kinda brings in lot of traffic.

    Basil chicken, Grilled beef Salad, Panang Curry

    My sister and I were in town for a business trip and came across this gem! The owner is so kind and welcoming. We ordered the curry rice bowl, beef salad, and basil chicken bowl. It was all so delicious! I highly recommend this place!

    As a W&L alum, Napa Thai is always at the very top of my "must revisit" list whenever I'm back in…read moreLexington. I ate here all the time in college, and years later I still haven't found Thai food that hits quite the same. The ambiance is great, not too formal but still great for a date night. The food is consistently amazing. You really can't go wrong, but my personal favorites are the pad thai, panang curry, drunken noodles, and the fried rice. Everything is flavorful, comforting, and exactly what you want after a long day exploring or reminiscing in town. What makes this place even more special is the staff. They are unbelievably kind and welcoming whether you're there every week like I was during college or just stopping in every few years like I do now. They have also always been incredibly accommodating with my mushroom allergy, which I really appreciate. The fact that they even remembered me years later honestly says everything about the level of care here. Lexington may be a small town, but Napa Thai is truly a hidden gem and one of the places that makes coming back feel so nostalgic. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth a visit

I had the basil duck with a spice level of 5 that automatically came that way. I would have went atleast 8 or 9, 5 isn't spicy at all but I wasn't given the option. Veggie rolls were ok, I do like they came cut in half. Service was pretty slow for it being empty. I would come back but I will check other places out first.

I'm from Roanoke and this used to be a weekly staple for our family but now we live in richmond and there is nothing that compares to city corner 2 (we've tried at least 6 different main stream Thai places and nothing matches it). We love this restaurant so much that I try to stop in and eat it when I'm back in town visiting family which is what brought me and my kids here today. Don't let the appearance of this restaurant fool you, some of the best food I've eaten has been at hole in the wall spots, city corner inclusive. Staff is incredibly friendly and attentive and never leave you hanging too long. Prices are phenomenal (one of the few restaurants left with pre-Covid-ish prices). If you haven't eaten here, it's time. It's really amazing that roanoke is so lucky to have this place here! (Also, if you aren't sure what to order, pad ka paow with ground pork is awesome, I literally can't find this dish the way it's made at city corner anywhere else, if you're sensitive to spicy you may want to ask for a milder spice level)

The service was good, and since we arrived around 4 PM, the restaurant was very quiet and not crowded. However, the food fell short of expectations, and unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to recommend this restaurant based on my experience. We started with the dumplings, which were gummy and not properly seared. The texture was unpleasant, and after trying one, I couldn't continue eating them. For my main course, the vegetables had an unusual flavor, and the noodles were heavily drenched in oil, making the dish difficult to enjoy. I wasn't able to finish it. My partner ordered the duck (no photo available), and while the presentation was nice, he found the texture overly chewy. He ended up pouring extra sauce over the dish just to finish it. On a positive note, both the Thai tea and Thai green tea were very enjoyable. We even ordered refills, which are offered at half price--a nice touch and probably the highlight of our visit. Overall, while the service, ambiance, and beverages were good, the food quality did not meet our expectations.

They never got to me and eventually I decided I wasn't hungry and left. Not great. But they were doing vigorous takeout business during that time, so when I had a need I ordered takeout from them well in advance and it was ready. They offer a few vegetarian dishes, and I took a spicy tofu stir fry and a thicker curry as well as some spring rolls. I got a decent amount of actual tofu. I was a little bit peeved at the broccoli showing up in my curry that wasn't listed on the menu. The rice wasn't quite enough for the saucy dishes, and I do like the aromatic jasmine rice. Overall, though, the flavors were solid, the spicy dish was spicy. Given that I came due to a craving for Thai that my last restaurant experience let me down on, I could at least say the food here was A-OK, in Yelp terms. Sometimes, that's good enough.

We also ordered chicken satay. My partner loves that. We never received it. Instead they gave two orders of pad Thai.. not spicy. We did a phone call in order. I went over everything three times. It was a Saturday afternoon, after 3 pm but before 6pm. I ran in to pick it up, but did not check the bag. When we got home there was no chicken satay, but two very bright orange meals?? And my shrimp green curry. I figured it out that it was a dyed orange pad Thai. I say dyed as the chicken that was bright orange too. My partner lost his appetite. He would not eat it. Felt bad for him. I ate only a few bites of the orange noodle,.. it tasted like pad Thai~~ but was not spicy. We were both put off by the orange dye . I had an event after.. we just threw it away.. both orders. I did not call back as I was very clear on the phone, so if the man did not understand me then, why would he after? Why did they dye the food like that? Why was the chicken orange too? We like Thai as it is usually very fresh and clean in taste. My dear friend is from Thailand too. I've been eating Thai for 30 years, and I have never seen dyed bright orange food before. Too bad, as I adore Thai food. Ok a picture is worth one thousand words... put on your sunglasses.
