Great kapow and red curry! Perfect heat on both dishes. Outstanding service. Thank you!

Still one of my favorites in the area for the black fried rice. I get it spicy, but I might up my heat level as I feel it is not spicy enough for me, though it is still delicious. Service is quick and easy, and the restaurant always has a steady customer flow when we come to pick up. read more

Probably the worst Thai food Ive ever had. How can drunken noodles be tasteless? Not an ounce of spice. Jsut bland. Yuck

Decent food no complaints. I've personally eaten in Thailand so have no opinion of "authenticity." Great option on nights when cooking is a no go. read more

I will start by saying food is delicious. Unfortunately the last couple times I've ordered the Crispy seafood paradise we have received less food than before. The first times I ordered seafood the container was filled. This is what we got today. Each piece was much smaller than before and the amount served was definitely not what has been served in the past. In the past the container was filled and the sauce has been place outside of the container. I guess this time, since they gave so little they placed it inside the container in attempts to make it look fuller? I have ordered this meal multiple times because it is delicious and the amount served was decent. But honestly, today was the last time. read more

Food is superb! Staff is kind and friendly. We've been coming here since Covid and I've always enjoyed getting Thai from Thai Nakorn. They were doing some service with their phones today but still in business! read more

Overall, it was ... fine. For the price, I guess it was fine. But I'm much rather pay a few more dollars for more flavor.

Food is great, but hours of operation are unreliable and we've received smaller than normal portions from time to time.

We used to frequent this restaurant when it was owned by Kia and his family. Unfortunately, the quality and flavor of the food are just not the same. We just ordered the Pad Thai and it was not tasty at all and the noodles were very sticky and packed down so they stuck together in clumps. We've had a few other dishes too and they too were disappointing. read more

I got the pad phet pla an a Thai iced tea. Food came out pretty quick, the fish in the pad phet pla was very soft like almost mushy almost so i'm guessing that it's frozen fish or they just microwave it, it's supposed to be a little crunchy i'm guessing. Food was WAYYYYY too salty, mind you i don't mind when it's a little salty but this feels like they dumped in a cup of salt. Thai tea was okay very normal nothing special about it. read more

This has been our go-to Thai place for over a year now. The food is so good, fresh and predictable... also, a great value for the price. Only downside is it seems like they're closed randomly quite often. read more

We had two apps and three dishes and all were spot on. Flavor was authentic and spice level was as we had requested. We've been to Thailand several times and this food has truly authentic flavors read more

Did not follow delivery instructions to deliver in person but left order at door with no notice to me.

Superb customer service along with amazingly seasoned food. Ordered: 1. Drunken Noodles - Great flavor, heat, and noodly consistency 2. Pad Prik Khing - Green beans absorbed the flavor of the sauce very well and the beef was very flavorful. 3. Sweet Rice with Mango Disclaimer: not usually a fan of desserts but the lady wanted this. - I'm not sure how they did this but the rice soaked the sweetness of whatever sauce they used and it paired perfectly with the mango. Will definitely order this again. 5/5 customer service 5/5 food Keep up the great work! read more

So sad that they only do carryout now. No more sit-down lunch specials. I was a regular here since they opened up too. Can't even order delivery anymore. I guess there isn't an opportunity to be a customer anymore. read more

Food is great and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend . We are new to the area and the food did not disappoint compared to our previous favorite Thai food place read more

Omgosh!!! Overall 5 Star Chef's Kiss. I love food and let me tell you, some of the flavors I've had here are just amazing. I've not had everything, but I've had quite a few items. Tonight however, I had Massaman Curry. Let me say, I am not a fan of curry mainly because it makes me choke. . Too spicy for me, but this dish was unbelievable. It has hints of curry and coconut and other flavors together with shrimp that were just incredibly savory. It's a must try. Genuinely. I'm also a huge fan of their pepper steak as well as the garlic beef. I'm practically addicted to them. All the dishes I've had thus far have a common element, the sauce. I'm thinking the secret is in the sauce. If you've not been, it is definitely worth your while. I do not think you will be disappointed. Also, just as important I think, it's a family owned business and I love supporting businesses that cook with love. read more

I went today for lunch as a recommendation from my colleague and the food is delicious . I had seafood ka pow and it was great. I'm bias because I love Thai and this was flavorful. I just wish they put more seafood in my order. I ordered seafood fried rice to go and I look forward to eating today. It's right off Richmond highway in Alexandria and parking is free so I'll be back. read more

I absolutely love Thai food. I have been frequenting this establishment for years. Their food is always outstanding. Never disappoints.

Damn good Thai food and quick delivery. Highly recommend the Drunken Noodles extra spicy

The food here is amazing! So fresh and the flavor... so good! I will be back again for sure.

The best Thai food in the Alexandria area. Always hot & fresh. Amazing delivery time. Amazingly perfect timing on pickup orders. They ventilate any food that might sweat so the food is always tasty. I love the Perfect spring rolls and the broccoli (e3) with chicken. The broccoli is not mushy and the chicken is muah, the best. If you eat rice and/or carbs this is the spot. If you don't eat rice and/or carbs you can also eat here which is better than great. Crispy Spring Rolls read more

Absolutely best Thai in the area, even though its a take out only but the focus is on great food and ingredients!

Really liked the spring rolls and spicy fried rice with Chicken and Beef. My husband thought the Fried Seafood Special had too much breading. I like the fact that you can substitute for brown rice for $1 more. read more

Love love love this place. Best ever picpow chicken. Quick service. Good take out - nice change from cooking

While the price and service are excellent, the food is only average. I'd potentially return for lunch because their lunch special is great - $8.50 for soup and an entree, $8.95 for soup, an entree, and a drink - but I've had better Thai elsewhere. I ordered: Panang Curry with wonton soup The soup was just fine, and the curry had good flavor but lacked the veggies I'm used to having with it (onions, carrots, etc). There was some tender crisp broccoli and carrot on the side, but otherwise is entirely chicken. Also, they served it on a plate, which perplexed me and made it more difficult to eat than I'd have liked. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, especially for how cheap it is, but I'm sure I can find better Thai somewhere else. read more

Cute little place. I came here for lunch. I ordered the Tofu Pad Thai. The lunch was very cheap. For 8.50 you get soup, tea, and your entree. My Pad Thai was on the sweeter side. I asked for Thai Hot. It was no where near even a little hot. The rice noodles and Tofu were great. Portion size was perfect. Service was very good. They were very nice. Quick with my order. I would write a deeper review but this was only my first time eating here. Compared to other places I've been I have had better PAD THAI. I don't want to judge them off any other dish! read more

Love this Thai restaurant. Their food is always on point. Very flavorful. Some of my favorites include their chicken drunken noodles, chicken fried rice, pad thai, and pad see ew. BTW this review is for delivery, never been to the restaurant but have ordered food many times and it's consistently delicious. read more

This place has been my family's and my go-to for years. Food is always fresh and full of flavor. It is spicy so be sure to ask for less heat if you don't like that. The food is great and the staff are always good to us. read more

Great food with tons of flavor. Very tasty, not too greasy, excellent menu selection, and nice cozy atmosphere. I got a to go order so can't speak to the servers, but I received good service when they took my order over the phone and food was promptly available at the estimated time. It was even packed well for easy transport. Highly recommend! read more

Thai NaKorn is a small Thai restaurant located off of Cooper Road. The menu offers a variety of items, such as various appetizers (tod mun, goong tod, fried squid, etc.), soups, salads, noodle and rice dishes, curries, entree selections (pad pirik king, pad kratiem prig Thai, etc.), chef specialties, and desserts. The hubs and I came here for a later dinner, and we ordered: an appetizer sampler (this came with Goong Tod (fried shrimp wrapped in a crisp wonton - these were super crispy and great with the light sweet & sour sauce), fried wontons (filled with minced chicken), and Crispy Spring Rolls (super crisp and yummy with the sweet & sour sauce)), SP8 Massamun Curry (you can choose chicken, beef, or pork as your meat; we opted for chicken in the massamun curry, which was filled with potatoes, onion, and whole peanuts - this curry was interesting, as it had a sour taste to it; the curry itself was still flavorful; the hubs wasn't a fan of this, but I thought it was okay), and the Pad See Ewe (we opted for the chicken as the meat; I loved how you can also substitute broccoli for Chinese broccoli, which we did; this pad see ewe was a delicious dish, as the noodles were perfectly stir-fried to a nice al dente; it also was a lighter dish, as it wasn't overly greasy). Service was very friendly, sweet, and very kind, and the restaurant itself is cute and charming. I'd love to come back and try out their Pad Thai and their other curries. +Goong Tod :D +Crispy Spring Rolls :D +sweet & sour sauce :D +Chicken Pad See Ewe :D +friendly staff :D read more

I am comparing this place to Rice & Spice which is another well-known Thai place in the area with similar prices. This place IMO has some dishes that are way better. For example the Penang Chicken Curry is a steal with how much meat you get. You get at least 2x as much meat as the same dish at Rice & Spice. Their lunch setup is also great for the price. For about $10 you get your choice of drink (water, tea, soda), a salad or soup, and your meal. That is pretty good. Here they also give you the option for extra meat for a $1 more. Overall, both places have their strengths and weaknesses. NaKorn is located on Route 1 in a crummy shopping center. Rice & Spice is located in a newer shopping center. The soups at Rice & Spice are better but the curry at NaKorn wins hands down. This is where you go for lunch! Not McDonald's which is located nearby! read more

Needed a place to eat before continuing a drive for work (from Southern Virginia to Southern Maryland. We only stopped by for a quick dinner because one of the coworkers I had to pick up lived nearby. I was hoping for some legit drunken noodles but the taste was a little off for me. They used the right noodles at least (can't say the same for any Thai restaurant in Southern Virginia that I've tried so far. Probably won't be coming here again if I'm in the area, or if I do, I'll see if their other dishes are any good. read more

This place is located in an unassuming little strip mall right by Rt. 1 and one of the closest Thai places near my area. When I'm craving Thai for lunch and don't have time for a sit-down meal, this is the place to go. There's certainly better and more authentic Thai around the area, but it's satisfactory enough to keep me coming back. Normally, I order from the to-go menu, and I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes if I stop by the restaurant to give them my order. The staff has always been friendly, courteous, and quick to get your order in. Prices are fairly good, especially the lunch menu, and the dinner menu is slightly more expensive, but the portions are huge. Also, their food isn't really greasy, which is an exellent thing, but I think they can improve on the Pad Thai a little. To me, it doesn't seem quite as tasty as other Thai places I've been to, but that may be because I tend to order to-go and everything seems to be crushed in the container it comes in. However, my son loves the spring rolls and their Thai fried rice is pretty good. read more
