Food was delicious, I really liked coming here and will return, we received great service despite having such a large group. My only issue is the amount of shrimp is quite sad. I got the racy pad Thai and my father got the cashew curry both with shrimp, only 6. For how much it cost extra you should receive more than 6 shrimp. Hopefully they can fix this for future visits.

The food was very delicious and I will absolutely be back for that reason. The ambience isn’t great for what I normally expect from a Thai restaurant. Very commercial. And service was a little rough. They were busy and short staffed, but after asking for a things a few times they never came. So wasn’t the best service.

Wow, I finally got up the courage to try Thai. The food here is absolutely amazing! It might cause me to never go back to chinese cuisine again.
Seriously, we have gone 3 times in two weeks. Check it out!

Food is A+. Service is always professional. To go orders are the sure way to get the best food. Fills up quick. Staff has always been great. Spice level goes to 5. Be careful. 😄

The staff is great and the owner Lynn is fantastic. Lynn and the staff really care about their customers and their experience. The food is fantastic. I tell everyone to try Nara Thai. Everyone I have recommended has agreed it is a wonderful local business.
Dietary restrictions: The staff is more than willing to inform you what dishes contain, and adjust the dishes where possible.

I’ve lived in several states and in Europe for a few years. This is by far one of the best places I have ever been. Amazing service with even better food. Crab rangoons are absolutely perfect and our main dishes were amazing. Highly recommend visiting

NaRa is my favorite place in town to eat. Great food, great prices, friendly service. Must try if your in Cedar Rapids.
Nara Thai is a favorite for my family and me—we come here all the time! The service is always excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who make every visit enjoyable.
My go-to dish is the green curry—it’s absolutely amazing! It’s the perfect blend of creamy coconut, fragrant herbs, and spice. And no meal here is complete without a Thai iced tea. It’s rich, perfectly sweet, and so refreshing, especially alongside the bold flavors of the food.
Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the quality is always top-notch. If you’re looking for authentic Thai flavors with great service, this place is a must-visit!

I got vetted and so I can get the 11 spicy 🔥. Hard to get really spicy stuff, but they bring it!

The Positive: Food is very good and a good selection of Thai and Thai / Chinese dishes. Good portions. The Bad: Wait staff. Attitude is like they are doing us a favor to come to the table. Not friendly. There have been staff that look like they are working in the car shop or on parole. Food often slow coming and no longer hot. They don't care. Pickup orders are worse. Called to place order and was told the next "slot" was an 1 hr 15 min wait. So we drove over to eat inside. Restaurant was largely empty. Really? What was that about? Also we have had pickup orders with missing items. You should open the bag and check. In summary, ridiculously unprofessional wait staff. We always went there because the food is so good. But no more. We will go someplace else in the future. These comments are based on several times, not just one off night. Atmosphere: Nice but I down rated because the people that work there do not make you feel welcome.

Our favorite place to eat since we moved to Cedar Rapids four years ago. The mango fried rice is definitely our favorite.
