First impression is that it's expensive! The decor is beautiful. With the chandelier in the middle of the restaurant. The murals on the walls add to the authenticity of being in Thailand. Min dish was $18 with a chicken protein. Beef would be $20. The food was packed with flavor. The service was as good as can be... excellent. Food came out piping hot. Then again, it was not busy at the moment. Excellent for a date night.

I have enjoyed all of my experiences with Nakorn. It's definitely a more accessible Thai food restaurant , but works well since this is Summit and not NYC. The service is great and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. The curry and noodle dishes are wonderful and there seems to be something for everyone on the menu. I'm so glad there is a decent Thai place in this town.

Beautifully decorated on a side street (Bank Street) in downtown Summit, Nakorn Thai restaurant has a nice menu selection to please both vegetarian and meat/seafood diners.The restaurant has a modern elegance to it, with tables spaced apart enough to have a nice private conversation. There is a long table in the center of the restaurant which can seat a large party.The music was too loud and whiny. I'd suggest playing only instrumental music as I found this annoying.The dishes we enjoyed included tom yum soup (which was way too spicy), Thai Basil Beef (also very spicy), green curry chicken, pad Thai and Mango Fish (which had little mango).We ate here on a Thursday evening and at 9pm the restaurant closes. We'd have stayed longer if given the choice.Overall nice place,.

Amazing food and excellent service - Truly Thai ! The food from the appetizers, entrees and desserts were excellent ! The ambiance too was excellent- private tables and a communal table at the middle So glad we have such an amazing authentic Thai restaurant in the Summit area ! kop khun ka / krab !!

We wanted to love it, but maybe we ordered the wrong food: TomYom soup, was a little too sour and contained 4 overcooked rubbery shrimp, a few button mushrooms and a lot of large slices of onions, really disappointing. Chicken dumplings were deep fried, expected pan seared thin skin dumplings, but the flavor was good. Chicken skewers were a good value for the price, flavorful and juicy, the peanut sauce was way too sweet. Chicken Pad Thai: overcooked thin sliced chicken breast in supper sweet sauce with the wrong type of noodles and greasy. Sweet and sour chicken with pineapple again was inedibley sweet with a tiny cup of rice, at least rice was cooked well. Service was very friendly, but wish flavors were a bit more authentic. We were sitting at the table right next to the kitchen, it has curtains instead of doors separateing it from the dining room and the kitchen noise was loud and intrusive

Visiting Nakon Thai Restaurant was a great experience, my highlight was their delicious Pad Woon Sen among other dishes. The place has a welcoming ambiance, and what truly makes it stand out is the friendly and attentive staff. It's a nice spot that effortlessly combines good food with great service, making it a recommended choice for anyone looking to enjoy Thai cuisine.

The food is very good, the restaurant is pretty and clean and the servers are all very friendly and nice. However, I was very disappointed with the way the food was served. We were a party of six and our main entree was brought to the table even before the appetizers and soups. The table was completely overwhelmed with dishes. I requested the sweet chili sauce instead of the Thai peanut sauce on the Shrimp Praluk but when the Shrimp Praluk came to the table it was drenched in the Thai peanut sauce and the sweet chili sauce was brought on the side in a small dish which was spilled on my son's shirt and coat. We would go back again. However, we would make sure the food was brought out in it's proper order... appetizers first, soups second followed by the main entree then dessert.

A wonderful addition to the area. The food is great and authentic. Beautiful restaurant. Much better for dine in than take out, but that’s usual. Highly recommend.

We visited Tuesday January 16th and ordered-takeout there was a gentleman handling the front. He was pleasant and offered suggestions of the menu. I ordered about $100+ worth of food and my family and I loved it. We enjoyed the food so much that we visited again yesterday with another $100+ takeout order. The taller lady working the front desk was incredibly rude and disrespectful with her tone and smart remarks. She even asked as I entered the restaurant “what did I want?”. I was startled by the question and responded that I made a takeaway order #8 on the website and had question. To which she replied “You do realize we only just opened two minutes ago”. Then she looked and said we don’t have your order so I can’t do anything for you. I said well I did make the order and prepaid I just wanted to ask if they had the ability to sell a side order of the extra beef without putting it in the curry I had ordered. Just as I had asked the question my order came through the system.)She said no and that she could only sell me the beef salad without the salad. I declined and just ordered a beef pad see ew. The food from yesterday was just okay not as delicious as the first day. I thought I had found a beautiful gem in Nakorn but the rude hostess was unacceptable.

Really good food but really annoying that before 9pm they started to clean up and vacuuming, they told us several times the place was going to closed at 9pm. It was really cold outside so we waited for our ride, we told them but they did not understand or did not care and turn on the lights and put their coats, just waiting for us to leave.Really disappointed that in Thursday night they are kicking customers out because they want to go home.I don’t think we will go again only because of that reason.Food was good though.
