One of Lexington’s longest-running Thai restaurants is preparing to close its doors. Mai Thai Restaurant, which has served the community for over two decades, will soon be under new ownership as its original owners step away to retire.
What We Know So Far
The restaurant has been sold to a new owner whose name has not yet been publicly announced. An exact closing date has not been confirmed, but the current owners mentioned they may scale back to lunch-only service during the final week of August.
Will It Stay Thai?
The new owner has not decided whether to keep the Mai Thai name. However, Thai food will continue to be served, and there are plans to introduce new menu items under the new management.
Two Decades, Three Locations
Mai Thai first opened in Lexington in 2004. Over the years, the restaurant moved locations twice before settling into its current spot on Southland Drive, where it became a familiar name for local Thai food lovers.
What Comes Next
Details about the new ownership and reopening plans are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. For now, loyal customers may want to stop in soon before the current chapter of Mai Thai comes to an end.
