As most of you, we were sold on coming here based on their recent social media posts! However, the food did not match up to the hype.
Ambiance was nice and felt very modern. I do think they should remove a few tables as the space isn’t big enough to fit everyone they anticipate comfortably. You can hear each others conversation
Food was very mediocre. Our drunken noodles came out good and both beef & chicken had that very rubbery texture.
There’s potential here just not yet. Temper expectations

The decor was nice and modern. The staff was friendly and very attentive. My family and I really wanted to like this place after seeing all the great reviews but the food was lacking for us.
We started off with the crispy larb gai. This was made with cut up pieces of a fried cutlet, but the chicken was soggy and was wayyy too salty. The tom yum soup was okay, had very little vets led and shrimp for what it was worth.
Moving on to drunken noodles, the noodles and beef were cooked great, but this wasn’t spicy as it typically would be. The pad Thai was way too sweet , extra lemon helped but not enough to enjoy it. the crab fried rice was just okay, the rice wasn’t as flavorful and the crab wasn’t the freshest. The only really outstanding dish we had was the crispy duck. This is a must get.

Fabulous restaurant in Fairfax. The food was excellent. We had the Udon drunken noodles. The mocktails also were very tasty. Service was great! Highly recommended!
Nalak Thai is a gorgeous restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, great looking food, and attentive staff. We enjoyed our time here and will be coming back.
We ordered the Moo Ping which was very tasty. It had a great grilled flavor and the sweet and sour sauce was a nice touch. We also got a side of peanut sauce, and I highly recommend getting that too for the Moo Ping.
For our entree we got the Laad Na with a side of white rice. It was cooked well, fresh ingredients, but lacked flavor. It felt like something was missing, maybe a little salt? Not sure, but we mixed it with the sauces from the Moo Ping and it helped.
The matcha flight was very lovely and it was nice to try the different flavors. The Thai matcha was my favorite, followed by the mango, coconut and strawberry.
I will say, this Thai place is a little more expensive than others in the area so keep that in mind if you want to visit. Great for a date night, though.

Best drunken noodle in town. And the mango tango and passion fruit yuzo were so refreshing. The matches (strawberry and mango) were also delicious. Everything was perfect.

Finally got to check out Nalak Thai! The interior is beautiful — the warm tones, greenery, and lighting are all put together so thoughtfully. It feels cozy, modern, and welcoming. The atmosphere was great and the staff were all really kind and attentive 🥰
For the appetizers, we ordered the tom yum soup, which I really appreciated because it actually had the right balance of sour and savory. A lot of places I’ve been to miss that and it ends up tasting hella flat. The fried tofu was perfectly cooked and it paired so well with the sweet chili pineapple sauce on the side, and the crushed peanuts in the sauce added the perfect finishing touch. We punished that plate pretty quickly haha.
For our entrees, we ordered the udon drunken noodles with beef and the green curry with crispy chicken, and both were delicious! It was my first time having drunken noodles made with udon noodles instead of the usual wide flat noodles, so it was a fun twist that still worked really well. The green curry was rich and flavorful, and he loved that they offered crispy chicken as a protein option since most Thai restaurants don’t.
To end the night, we tried three different matcha drinks: the coconut matcha cloud, Thai tea matcha cloud, and tiramisu crème matcha. We stayed up all night but honestly… no regrets at all 😂 Our favorite was definitely the Thai tea matcha cloud — so good and worth it!
Overall, Nalak Thai is such a great spot and I’ll definitely come back again to try more dishes! 🧡

My husband and I had a great experience at this Thai restaurant! The Yin Tha Foh Noodles Soup was delicious, and the papaya salad was spicy and flavorful. My husband enjoyed the drunken noodles with beef, and I loved the strawberry matcha cloud - it was a fun twist on traditional matcha. He also had the Mango Tango drink, which he enjoyed. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and intimate. We'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for good Thai food. Prices were reasonable too. We'll be back!

Of course I had to try the pork belly basil (ka prow moo) and for just under $20 it did not disappoint. The seasoning was perfect. Ball was my server and he was very relaxed and helpful. Atmosphere is very upbeat and clean. I think they are expecting a crowd because there were four servers. The decor is trendy without being over the top.
Excellent carryout!
