NaKorn Urban Thai (Evanston)

We had my Birthday Dinner at NaKorn tonight and it was amazing! Food and service were Michelin star! The Croquettes, Green Papaya salad, chicken curry and Mina short ribs were so delicious. We want to try everything on the menu now! It’s seriously some of the best food we have had in Evanston! We look forward to seeing Rush and the crew soon!!

Food was delicious. I've been to Thailand twice. We love ordering Thai food. And this is my first time having what I would call elevated Thai food. And it was an all-around wonderful experience. There were multiple dishes we would 100% order again. And we all talked about who got to lick the plate afterwards. They also make an off menu item called Khao soi. Which is a traditional dish served only in Chiang mai. Very few Thai places make it. And even fewer know how to make it right. This was a 100% outstanding item. Also great were non-alcoholic cocktails. Even more outstanding was the service amd staff. Both front of house and back of house were amazing welcoming warming informative knowledgeable and spot on with their service, energy, execution. Specifically front of house manager Marc, back of house manager Rush, and restaurant support Lalo. Top to bottom amazing experience and amazing people and we 100% will be going back

Now, this is absolutely delicious Thai food. The flavors were PHENOMENAL. Not a single thing I ate was overpowering. The creativity and presentation was carefully thought out. All of the ambiance and service was super classy and I really enjoyed the live guitar music. All of the front of the house was super knowledgeable of the menu and the specials. Kudos to all of the employees there. It was perfect. A wow experience. If you are a foodie, please try this place out. It's worth EVERY penny. Just fantastic.

This is one of the best restaurants if not the best in Evanston! We love it here and as a celiac they are sensitive to dietary restrictions. Do yourself a favor, dine here and expand your notion of thai food. There is a lot of love in this place from food to service and leave room for dessert!

The food was unique and flavorful.

Celebrated my birthday here with family and was really impressed with the food, service, and overall vibe. Definitely high end Thai fusion with a vegan friendly menu and a large non alc menu. Everything was delicious and it was really enjoyable.

If I could pick only one restaurant for the rest couple of years, this is my choice. It’s fun, friendly, and delicious.

The service was perfect! Friendly, accommodating and not rushed! Our server (I think it may have been one of the owners) was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and fun! Each entree we had was fresh with a delightful mix of either sweet, salty, tangy, fresh and light. Especially loved the chicken curry dish. Can't wait to return!

Vegetarian options: Also vegan options
