Restaurant is spacious and clean. What we ordered: 1. Khao soi with soft shell crab: 10/10, so flavorful, creamy, and fun with the soft noodles + deep fried noodles + crispy soft shell crab. It is heavy, so would be a good dish to share 2. Drunken noodles: 10/10, did not feel like it was cooked in old oil 3. Pad Thai: 10/10 4. Crying tiger: 9.5/10, meat is tender and juicy. Only complaint is the salad it comes with is heavily dressed, would be better with a vinaigrette imo 5. Basil fried rice: was too full to enjoy! But solid and yummy still. 6. Thai tea: 10/10 classic and refreshing. A must with all the flavorful foods Overall-- excellent/quick service and food. Will return!!! I need to try their other menu items.

It was very large and we had plenty left over. The Pad See Ew was my favorite and had the most flavor. I would recommend this if I ordered again or something totally different from what I ordered this time. The Thai fried rice was decent and as expected. What I was impressed with was the presentation of the food that was nice and clean and included very large portions. The Thai tea needed a little more milk but I could have just asked for some more to be fair.

Since this is their newer location compared to the original spot over on Bristol, the wait here can be a bit easier to manage, which is a huge plus. The inside is sleek, clean, and has a really relaxed vibe for dinner. The food is genuinely top-tier. The green papaya salad (Som Tum) is super crisp, fresh, and hits you with that perfect balance of sweet, sour, and heat, loaded with crunchy peanuts. We also got the Tom Kha soup, which comes out piping hot in a heavy ceramic bowl--it's insanely rich and creamy with coconut flavor, easily some of the best around. You also can't go wrong with their fried chicken wings. They come out super crispy, super juicy, and served alongside a spicy dipping sauce and a little basket of sticky rice to eat it with. Service is fast and super friendly, and not having to fight as long of a crowd makes the whole meal way more enjoyable. Parking in the center lot is straightforward, too. Highly recommend checking out this Newport location if you want incredible Thai food with a slightly smoother wait.

Still on soft opening mode so the menu was somewhat limited. The lovely owner Bew is so sweet and we learned that several members of her family has been in the restaurant industry in SoCal for a long time (from San Diego to LA and now OC). We ordered the following: * Fish cakes for appetizer, love the sauce that came with it. * Holy Basil with Crispy Pork Belly. This was full of flavor, and really love the sauce and everything that came with it. Definitely scored high on craveability. The only request I had which I relayed to the owner is - the pork belly was a little on the tough side. I made suggestions for them to try to remedy that. * Pad Thai with Shrimp was on point. Hubs enjoyed and devoured it in no time. * Thai Tea and Green Tea were on point as well. They have desserts coming soon that we cannot wait to try. I forgot to take pics of the menu so I took screenshots of menu from their website. Would definitely be back to support Bew at Nai Tong. Go check them out!!!

All the food came out relatively quick and service was also friendly and the staff were checking in regularly for water refills and to ensure we were having a good meal. The thai tea was creamy and rich and one of the better ones I've had compared to most thai spots in the area. The grilled pork neck was tender and juicy and the included dipping sauce added some extra sweetness. The portion size was also good and easy to share. The Kra Prao Crispy Duck was absolutely delicious and one of my favorite thai dishes I had. The crispy duck was crunchy and had good flavor and the sauce mixed with the peppers and the crispy fried egg on the side with the rice made for a filling plate! Overall, my friends and I had a great dinner here and I would highly recommend checking out Nai Tong if you are in the area and want some amazing Thai food! There's plenty of seating inside and it's well-lit and they just recently opened, so it isn't too busy right now.

My boyfriend and I both had Panang Curry chicken with brown rice. The curry is seasoned perfectly, has a slight peppery heat, and the creamy, smooth texture of the coconut milk makes it my favorite dish on the menu. I have ordered a couple times and the chicken has been a little dry, but more often it is seasoned and cooked well as is the brown rice. Of course, a meal isn't complete without ordering spring rolls. The spring rolls at Bangkok Corner do not disappoint - fresh and yummy, and though they come three to an order - there need not be any awkwardness when dining with a friend. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was great. Four stars + read more
