Towards the top of my limit which admittedly is not that high. They didn't ask her how spicy she wanted it. I assume she just sizes you up. It was fine for her. I guess she didn't factor me in to her spice calculus. We got a matcha crème brûlée for dessert. Autocorrect fixed all of the accents on crème brûlée without any prompting on my part. Nice job autocorrect! You are one smart mother ducker. Ambiance was nice. Service was impeccable. Not fancy impeccable but clearly people who were proud of their restaurant and appreciated your business. Definitely seemed like a lot of locals who the staff knew. We will be back.

We were very surprised when we showed up at around 7 pm and sat inside and watched the restaurant fill up on a convenient location on Main Street in Madison. All our dishes were prepared perfectly. All noodle dishes and all curries were prepared to perfection as if we were eating in a restaurant in one of the food street or luxury malls in Bangkok. The servers made sure that we knew how much spice we wanted in our dishes and what we could tolerate and nothing disappointed. The volume was high inside but otherwise, the service and food were perfect. I would definitely consider returning again.

We were very excited to discover Malay nearby in Morristown, and we had to check it out. We ordered the Malay Prawn Mee, Chicken Sambal, and the Roti Canai. Roti Canai is one of my favorite Malaysian dishes, but this didn't quite hit the spot. The roti wasn't soft and dip-able. It was kind of flaky and kept falling apart every time I tried to use it to scoop up some curry. The curry was a little watery and not all that flavorful, and I defintiely would've appreciated more than just one or two chunks of potato and chicken. The chicken sambal and soup were additionally a bit disappointing. The chicken sambal was just okay for me, and the flavor didn't really blow me out of the water. It almost felt like something I could make at home. The soup similarly did not have a particularly rich or flavorful broth, and left me a little dissapointed. Another thing that really influences my review is how cold it was inside. It got even colder when people opened and closed the door. It was so cold that our food didn't seem hot. I think the cold air cooled it off instantly and we were left eating room temperature chicken and soup.

The restaurant had only a few people when we walked in. Two of us arrived first and we were seated immediately while waiting for the third person, who came about 5 minutes later. I mention this detail because a lot of restaurants are strict about not seating you until the entire party arrives (I appreciate Nakorn for not sweating the small stuff). It was my second time and their first time (per my suggestion). We're all foodies so I was confident they'd enjoy! And I was right :) For starters, we shared a curry puff appetizer (3 pieces). Small size, BIG flavor!! Especially paired with the pickled sauce. Chef's kiss! For our main dishes - I had the Chicken Pad See Ew and they tried the Mixed Seafood Pad See Ew (shrimp, scallops, and mussels). Everything was delicious!!! Had it not been for the intriguing conversation around the table, we easily would not have any leftovers to take home. It is a BYOB establishment, so we brough Sake and enjoyed it in the wine glasses provided by Nakorn. I love downtown Summit and all of its foodie glory, but if you've ever been, you know what parking is like. Free after 6pm Monday - Saturday and free all day Sunday. There's a small lot directly across the street from Nakorn, which is convenient. Be intentional though, the parking spaces go fast.

My go to order at a Thai restaurant is always Yellow Curry, papaya salad and fried rice. This was one of the most flavorful curry dishes I have had in a long time. Every sip exploded in your mouth. The rice also had the crunchy cashews that kept you wanting more. The papaya salad is always the most refreshing starter for me. I had no complaints.

You'll most likely be seated quickly, since this is mostly a takeout place. The service is good, and the workers are friendly. I enjoyed the Thai tea as well. The tea flavor was strong enough to not get overpowered by the sweet milk, and I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. However, the curry was lackluster. I ordered the yellow curry, and it was very bland and runny. I couldn't taste any spices and could barely taste the coconut. The vegetables weren't well cooked, and there was almost no flavour to them. The rice wasn't spectacular either. I haven't tried the other menu items, but I could not recommend the curry.

I came here for dinner with the family and ordered a veg thom kha, 3 curries and a duck pad Thai. The soup tasted average and had too many raw vegetables. The 2 panaang curries were not spicy at all. The fish in the curry was nicely fried. The yellow curry (not spicy) was too sweet , was hi-liter yellow and very watery. My kid, who loves curry, barely ate hers. The duck pad that was a miss too. We were the only Asian family diners.

When I went inside, the place was packed, which was already a good sign! I ordered the mango chicken and shrimp fried rice, and both were delicious.

I also loved that it wasn't overly seasoned with soy sauce. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The mango chicken was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The inside was a little loud because it was so busy, but the staff was very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I also really liked the decor inside. it had a nice atmosphere.

We ordered papaya salad, drunken noodles, holy basil beef, and the tilapia with eggplant. All dishes were delicious and not even a morsel left. The noodles are bouncy and flavorful. The tilapia with eggplant plant has nice sized fish prices that are fried then added to the dish to absorb the yummy sauce. Papaya salad was fresh and peanut-y. If you're a Thai food beginner, I recommend the base spice. If you like spicy foods, order a 1 spice or maybe up to 2 if you love the spicy kick. Anything hotter, I wouldn't recommend but maybe ask for the chili flakes separately and add to your tolerance.

Whilst I'm a bit reserved to make such a statement,our experience was truly a well rounded experience. We ordered a number of appetizers from Chef's special menu, then several entrees including soup,salad, noodles and curries. The only non-authentic meal ordered was the French Soup,which I found too sweet for my liking,but all else was really flavorful.

Absolutely loved our experience here! The staff was incredibly welcoming, accommodating our group quickly and making the whole experience feel effortless. They were also so helpful with their menu recommendations, and their suggestions definitely did not disappoint! There were so many appetizing options that we ended up ordering way more than expected. Every dish was delicious, portions were generous, and the service was excellent. We were completely stuffed after several rounds of food, but somehow still made room for the homemade coconut ice cream topped with real coconut shavings--it was the perfect ending! We especially appreciated the staff taking the time to recommend dishes for us to try. We're already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of their recommendations next time. Highly recommend! read more
