We just had a fabulous dining experience! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with warmth. The food and service was all excellent. We loved everything we ordered . We started with pink pomelo salad and Crispy Brussels sprouts. Then we got two main dishes to round out our meal. The short ribs and shrimp noodles were so good! I highly recommend going to this very special Thai restaurant. We can’t wait to go back. I wish I took photos of everything we ate.

I got the papaya salad, fried tofu, and crab cakes. I really liked the crab cakes and salad, and I appreciated them having gluten free options clearly labeled on the menu. I think the tofu would have been tastier if it weren’t room temp. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The only thing that would have made my experience it better is if the fried tofu and crab cakes weren’t near room temperature. I called in my order at 5 from my car outside the restaurant and was told to come pick up the order in 30-45 minutes. I went inside to pick up at 525 and sat for a few moments while they finished putting my order together. I then took it right out to my car parked right outside the restaurant to eat, so it seems like it should have been hot.
That said, you know it’s good food when it’s delicious even at room temp! I think they would have fixed it if I had asked, but I’m from out of town and wanted to get home. I’d definitely come here again when I’m in town.

We had a wonderful meal dining outdoors on a lovely evening. I wish I took photos because everything was beautiful and delicious. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and there was even live music from a jazz pianist.
We started with the scallops, Brussel sprouts, and green papaya salad, all of which were good. The Coconut-Curry Braised Chicken entree tho— divine. Just enough heat, flavorful spices, and extremely tender chicken. The sauce with rice could be a dish by itself. We finished with the Fresh Mango dessert with sticky, sweet sticky rice, mango liquid yolk, salted coconut sauce. What can I say? If we lived here we’d be regulars.

Really excellent, authentic Thai food, without the sugar that is so often loaded into American Thai cooking.
Short but interesting menu (exactly how I like it) and live music on both nights I visited was a bonus (please tip the musician)...

Delicious food, we love everything we tried. Very creative and delicious chicken lettuce wraps! Excellent customer service and decor/atmosphere is very comfortable and inviting. Will definitely be back!

Food was okay but very overpriced. Half the items on the menu were out. I paid the same amount at a high-end restaurant downtown and ate like a king. Staff were rude and unwelcoming. The restaurant also likes to tip themselves. Would not recommend.

We went there on a cold evening (2°F) to dine in the outdoor tents. We were worried about the cold and brought blankets. There was an infrared space heater running in the tent and with the blankets, we were comfortable.
The staff was good with distancing, hand sanitizer was provided and they took the order through the tent wall, which was a nice touch!
We both had hot tea and shared two starters, one soup and one main dish. It was plenty of food and we took some home.
The Brussels sprouts were buttery and crispy and went well with the ginger. Popcorn chicken was very crunchy and had a delicious sauce.
The Angus beef noodle bowl was spicy and so fragrant with basil. The coconut curry braised chicken was also delicious and so tender.
The food was very authentic and delicious! We would definitely consider going there again to sit outside!

Highly recommend NaKorn! My wife and I had lunch today and we had a great experience. We ordered the Bah Mi Noodle, Smoke White Fish and rice and it was delicious. The ambience and service was excellent. I also had the Thai Tea Creme Brulee and it is one of the best desserts I have had.
