Thai Smile - Frankfort

This is a bit of the best Thai food I've ever had, and I've tried to thai is just about every country I've visited. Give him a shot and look at the website.

We visited Thai Smile for lunch upon the recommendation of a Thai employee at another shop in Frankfort. The restaurant was hidden from street view in a strip mall that had a lot of empty shops. Yet, there were many patrons going into Thai Smile for lunch or to pick up takeout orders. The restaurant had a take out feel, even for sit down diners. There was a relatively small dining area with small tables and a large rectangular table along the entrance way with iced tea canisters, napkins, and cutlery. We were greeted quickly, and offered a table. Our server, a bundle of energy, took our drink order quickly. I ordered a Thai Iced Tea $3.95 . We ordered two entrees my husband 's go to in Thai restaurants, Pad Thai with Chicken $10 and Panang Curry with Chicken $10 . Seeing that the latter would be served only with peas and carrots, I also ordered a side dish of snow peas $2 . The waiter up sold us with an order of the best eggroll in Frankfort. $2.50 . You can choose the hotness level that you prefer, for your entrees, from 1 to 4 star. We ordered 2 star for both dishes. Our total bill came to $30.16, with tax but before tip. Interestingly, all appetizers on the menu are $2.50 and all entrees are $10.00. The food was delivered quickly and hot. All were served in plastic containers with lids that could also serve as take out containers. Overall, the food tasted good but was not exceptional. Our main comment is that the dishes lacked add ins especially vegetables . The Pad Thai was primarily noodles, with some chicken and a small number of fried tofu pieces and some peanut garnish. We don 't recall having seen any bean sprouts or egg, as advertised. The soupy Panang curry in coconut milk was served with peas and carrots, as advertised, plus the add on of snow peas that I had ordered extra. This was served with a bowl of white rice. The egg roll order was a single egg roll that was mainly filled with cabbage. I can 't say whether this is the best eggroll in Frankfort but it certainly wasn 't the best that we 've had . With respect to spiciness, 2 star has slightly more chili peppers than our preferences even for my Indian origin husband but it wasn 't too hot that we couldn 't eat it. We need to remind ourselves that one star is probably sufficient for future orders. We can always add more chilis but can 't take them away. This restaurant is a good value. We were only able to finish about half of our food while in the restaurant so we had take out meals to enjoy later. We added more vegetables! Also, our server was highly efficient. We note his friendly banter with the large group next to us. We would return to this restaurant if we were to return to Frankfort. Quantities.

Fast friendly service. They run a well-oiled machine there during lunch to take full advantage of the limited seating space. Overall, my food was good. Not noteworthy Thai but enjoyable and I recommend others give them a try. If in the area, I would return.

Whenever you are hungry for authentic Thai food, Thai Smile is the only place to go! There are two locations including Richmond and Frankfort. This Thai is so good that my boss would drive from Louisville to Frankfort just to be able to have good Thai food. There simply is no comparison anywhere else! I continually switch between their Chicken Fried Rice, Three Flavor Chicken, or the Dry Egg Noodle Bowl. It's just difficult to decide between three delicious meals. The Chicken Fried Rice is a generous serving of fried rice with egg and plenty of chicken (or your favorite meat). For something different, try the Pineapple Fried Rice (with your favorite meat). The Three Flavor Chicken is a huge serving of fried chicken with snow peas, broccoli, carrot, tomatoes and pineapple in three-flavored sauce (includes steamed or fried rice). Personally, I order mine with no tomato, but others enjoy it being included. My other favorite is the Dry Egg Noodle Bowl which is filled with steamed egg noodles tossed with bean sprouts and sweet soy sauced topped with fried chicken breast and then garnished cilantro and ground peanuts. There is always a generous amount of the sweet soy sauce, so I mix some of my wife's leftover rice in the bowl and have enough for 2 meals. Of course, there are plenty of other items to select from their vast menu. They have a great selection of soups. My favorite is either the Siamese Beef Soup (Sliced beef in a spicy robust broth) or the Soupy Noodle (Rice noodle, chicken and bean sprouts in chicken broth). Of course, these meals are never complete without ordering an egg roll, or the crispy egg roll. And everyone knows to order their Crab Rangoon for a tasty dessert!

Thai smile looks less than impressive from the outside, but don't let that fool you. It doesn't look impressive inside either. However the food is great! The whole time we were there, it was a steady stream of people coming and going. Thai smile is all about the food.
