Serves meat, vegan options available. Thai food restaurant. Many menu items can be made vegan upon request. Open Mon-Thu 11:00am-9:30pm, Fri-Sat 11:00am-10:00pm, Sun 11:00am-9:30pm.
PT has several dishes that are veg/vegan friendly (or those that can be easily modified to this) - but be sure to specify that preference when ordering.
I've tried Planet Thai almost five times now and each time, I've not left impressed. I've had the yellow curry, the singapore noodles, the green curry, and the curry noodle dish. Each time I got these, I had to go through a few waiters to find out what dishes were vegan. They do end up adding oyster sauce to most dishes so you need to be careful when ordering.
I went here for lunch, but had a hard time locating it (but only because it doesn't face the main street). I'm glad I continued to look for it. I had the pad see ew with veggies and the fried tofu for an appetizer. Both were tasty. Not the best that I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable. The staff was also very friendly. Parking is somewhat limited and if you enter from the side street you'll be facing the wrong way for any of the angled parking spaces.
This place is awesome. They have an array of options vegan or vegetarians and all of their dishes are great. My two favs are the red curry noodles and the pad ka pao, both with mixed veggies. The cool part is you tell them how spicy you want the dish from 1-5. I havent ventured past a 3 yet :)
Planet Thai is my wife's and my favorite Thai restaurant in Lexington. They offer several vegetarian and vegan (I think) Thai dishes that we love. Our favorites are the red and green curry dishes: theirs is nicely hot (we order 4/5 stars for heat/spiciness) with just a light touch of sweetness in the coconut milk. The staff is friendly and the restaurant has the positive feel of a family-owned establishment (though I can't vouch for that -- but they certainly aren't corporate-owned). Another thing we love about Planet Thai is the fact that most of the vegetarian selections are under $10, so the price is right. We've eaten at Planet Thai @10 times and have always had a good experience.

Used to love - Edit
I used to get a cashew stir fry with no oyster sauce but recently they’ve told me they can’t remove the oyster sauce. Otherwise, tasty food!
