Antai Asian Dining - Lexington

We drove about an hour from Augusta to try this place out after checking out the reviews on google maps. We arrived around 7pm on a Saturday night and were told we would have about a 25 minute wait. We sat outside on the patio and waited until we were texted to come inside. The interior of the restaurant is really cute, it can easily be a causal jeans and sneakers place or a dressy date night spot. They have a HUGE menu which was the first thing that struck us. Sooooo many options, it is really hard to choose what to eat! It all looks so good and the smell inside of the restaurant doesn?t help, there are constant smells of ginger and meat, it?s intoxicating. They have several specialty cocktails, we tried 4 of them and they were all really good. I would suggest the Fortune cookie, my fella would suggest the Grand Margarita. We ordered calamari and crab wontons as our appetizers, both were good. I always wanted to try a REAL ?crab Rangoon? and that?s what it was giving me. Real blue crab meat and not imitation crab. For our entrees we ordered the king pow chicken and the green coconut curry with beef. I tried only a bite of my SO?s kung pow chicken but it was delicious! The peanuts were a nice textural difference. My coconut curry was AMAZING. I?ve had authentic Thai green curry yearsss ago and I couldn?t find anything to come close until last night. It was so creamy and had the perfect amount of heat. They weren?t stingy with the meat which I appreciated. Our server was very busy so we spend over an hour and a half there but she came to check on us as much as possible and made sure our drinks were full. I was surprised at how affordable this place is as well, 2 apps, 4 cocktails, 1 sweet tea and 2 entrees came right up under $100. My only complaint is I didn?t see anywhere on their site where you can make reservations online. We took a chance driving an hour away, luckily our wait time wasn?t ridiculous but it would have been nice to be seated immediately with a reservation. Maybe we will call next time and see if they?re able to set them over the phone. No worries. I would recommend this place and I will come back in the near future.

The price is a bit expensive, but don't let it be quenched if you want to try this place. It's worth every penny. The sushi is the best I ever had, and I eat a lot of sushi in different places. We had sushi, the vegetable dumplings and a few drinks. I suggest trying the Fortune cookie. It is a dangerous combination of Amaretto, Triple Sec, Bailey's Irish Cream, Half and Half and Vanilla Vodka. You can't taste the alcohol, but you will definitely get a buzz! Everything was amazing to our waitress who was very efficient and attentive. You won't regret it. We waited 15 minutes because the restaurant was full, but we were called quickly to sit.

The service here was great and the food, even better. The vegetable tempura was delicious and perfect. The cucumber roll and spider roll were delicious. The kids chicken skewer and dumpling meals were great sizes and my kids loved them. The sampler was great too, highly recommend as the vegetable spring rolls, dumplins, crab wontons are all delicious

Amazing food, sushi rolls very tasty, pad thai was increible, salad and miso soup super fresh. The place was clean, bathrooms are clean, highly recommend.

The food is delicious and made with fresh quality ingredients. The drinks are wet and the waitress laughed at my Dad jokes. The only issue is this place gets packed in the evenings so you may experience a 30-60 minute wait. Their bar is small but if you can snag a seat the time will fly by.
