NaKorn started with our belief that authentic Thai food should be found not only in Thailand—but here, as well.

Our menu offers a perfect blend of bold flavors with traditional, old-world recipes in a modern presentation. Using only the finest ingredients, we created unique dishes layered with flavors.

    Our go to dishes are the Fried Branzino and Artic Char, lettuce wraps with chicken, aubergine (egg plant). The night we went, they had a grilled chicken that was flavorful with lemongrass, ginger with papaya salad. Did not need the sweet chili sauce. Desserts were delicious, classics with Asian twists.

    Amazing food and lovely service. Only complaint was that the live music was too loud. It was great music just needed to turn down their speaker. We had a hard time hearing each other. Highly recommend.

    Food and service were excellent. Noise on a Monday night was punishing in loudness, making conversation exceptionally strained.

    They were out of a few items but the food was still really good. We have a family member with celiac. They were knowledgeable and we felt comfortable dining here as they had items that were clearly GF.
