Our party of 3 enjoyed a delicious dinner at Nakorn a few days ago. I made reservations for us a day in advance, although it wasn't really needed. The restaurant had only a few people when we walked in. Two of us arrived first and we were seated immediately while waiting for the third person, who came about 5 minutes later. I mention this detail because a lot of restaurants are strict about not seating you until the entire party arrives (I appreciate Nakorn for not sweating the small stuff). It was my second time and their first time (per my suggestion). We're all foodies so I was confident they'd enjoy! And I was right :) For starters, we shared a curry puff appetizer (3 pieces). Small size, BIG flavor!! Especially paired with the pickled sauce. Chef's kiss! For our main dishes - I had the Chicken Pad See Ew and they tried the Mixed Seafood Pad See Ew (shrimp, scallops, and mussels). Everything was delicious!!! Had it not been for the intriguing conversation around the table, we easily would not have any leftovers to take home. It is a BYOB establishment, so we brough Sake and enjoyed it in the wine glasses provided by Nakorn. I love downtown Summit and all of its foodie glory, but if you've ever been, you know what parking is like. Free after 6pm Monday - Saturday and free all day Sunday. There's a small lot directly across the street from Nakorn, which is convenient. Be intentional though, the parking spaces go fast. read more

Tried to order from DoorDash. They accepted my order and cancelled literally 1 min before the dasher was supposed to arrive. What is up with that?! I would like to say the food was good or bad but I never had a chance to find out. Of course I lost my $20 tip (the poor dasher deserved it for waiting and doing the work, but still) Not a great experience. read more

My family and I had such a wonderful time at Nakorn Thai! We were doing a small birthday celebration and would definitely recommend. The ambience is so lovely! Very clean, modern, bright, good energy. Every single server (especially the male server) were absolutely amazing. So kind, funny, knowledgeable about the dishes, and helpful. Really brought so many smiles to our faces. We tried the Emerald Fried Rice which was great, albeit a tad too spicy for my taste (spice lovers will enjoy this). We also tried two curries which were super flavorful (Penang and Red) and a drunken noodle which was yummy too. The chili cashew dish was also super tasty and savory. Not too spicy. We ended with a chocolate lab cake and they sang a happy birthday for me!! So sweet. I loved it! My only feedback would be the music selection. There were mostly 2010s hits playing, and don't get me wrong, I love so many songs from that time but it felt like it made the vibe less classy? I was craving some background music or jazz or something more in line with Thai culture or something. But hey, I'm nitpicking. I had a great time and I'll be back! Thanks for making it such a special night :) read more

Fairly decent Thai place. Food is average for vegetarians compared other Thai places. It's good for occasional Thai cravings when other options are not there. read more

Nakorn Thai is a great addition to Summit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I had the NKPD crispy half duck with Pad Thai noodles, which was perfectly cooked with a nice balance of crispy duck, scallions, and peanuts. The space is cozy and nicely decorated, service was attentive and friendly, and I really liked that it's BYOB. They also have a good variety of mocktails. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu. read more

Nakorn Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

I've been here twice, both times to celebrate birthdays. And both times I've really enjoyed the food. This place will be on rotation for me. The service is attentive but not obtrusive. The interior, lovely. It's casual but also feels upscale, making it perfect for any occasion whether that be a celebration, date night or a standard night out. Prices are fair for Summit and the only negative is parking but it's Summit and that's to be expected. I highly recommend the Massaman Curry, the chicken curry puff appetizer, the fried calamari. I'd say this restaurant is pleasing to American palettes v being extremely authentic. Nonetheless, I like everything about this restaurant. read more

Spring rolls were good. Juices were good. The Avocado Panang Curry had potential on first taste, but... Finding a bug in the meal completely ruined the experience (see photo), especially considering there were only three people in the restaurant at the time. Perhaps it was a one-off, but it was still very concerning. To their credit, they didn't charge for the meal. However, given that I ended up vomiting afterward, I do feel further compensation might've been appropriate. I had high hopes coming in, but left feeling extremely disappointed. read more

Some of my coworkers was asking me if I had gone to dine here yet and I hadn't, so of course, when I had the time to go, I went with my family for a Mother's Day lunch ! We had just gotten there by 1130 or so, so it wasn't very busy. There were maybe two or three other parties dining. However, by the time we left, it slowly became packed ! They even had the whole middle of the restaurant reserved for a party later in the day. The decor was very pretty and modern, and the food was honestly very delicious. We ordered roti for an appetizer because it's a family favorite. Then my mom had a crispy duck pad Thai, dad had green curry, and I had one of their fried chicken dishes. Everything was so good -- the duck was perfectly crispy and fatty. The fried chicken wasn't too dry, and the green curry came extra spicy as asked. Mango sticky rice, another dessert staple was yummy. The balance of their coconut sauce and the sweet mango was perfectly. Would def come back! read more

We are in the midst of discovering all the good restaurants Summit has. Came here recently for lunch and really enjoyed the overall experience. We came right at the start of the lunch time, they were not that busy so we got seated right away. Really pretty decor and vibe. We loved our food, really good flavors and our sides were yummy as well, will definitely come back. read more

A solid 4 star experience. Very friendly staff and great ambiance. The noodles were fresh and overall tasty, though I felt the pad thai was not as sweet as I prefer (it was more sour than sweet, but I like a 50/50 balance). Will definitely come again to try more dishes read more

Very nice selection, and very tasty dishes. Decor is well done and the service is fine. Great for takeout but better enjoyed dining in.

I wanted to come to this place so many times and today was my lucky day! I love Thai food and let me tell you this place is a gem!!! Omg the food was DELICIOUS!!! Nom, nom,nom everything I tried today was very tasty. Love the attention to details and the presentation of the dishes. Our waiter was so kind and attentive and the ambience and decor of this place is so pretty and very cute. Modern meets tradition really like the vibe. Also the place was very clean what an exquisite place. I am so coming back and I must try some of the fish dishes specially the whole red snapped with 3 flavor sauces. read more

Nakorn Thai is a lovely restaurant with a very nice ambiance, great food and large portions! I made a reservation on the phone for a Friday night and while it was busy here, there were enough empty tables that you probably wouldn't have had to wait too long without a reservation. I really loved the vibe and the decor here, it's a very bright and vibrant environment. We started out with the Green Papaya Salad to share; it had a great flavor and a nice little kick. For my main course, I got the Green Curry (my favorite) with tofu and additional veggies. It is a little bit on the pricier side but I guess that's about average for this area. The staff was very kind and were very patient with us as we enjoyed some time catching up even after we were finished with the meal. read more

Nakorn Thai always delivers delicious and beautiful food. The papaya salad is a favorite! I don't love the middle table - you are too far from friends across the table. If you have a big group be aware. read more

Thought I will stop by to get a Togo order. The restaurant closes at 10 pm on a Saturday and when I stoped by at 9:15pm they said the kitchen is closed. I feel that just bad service. Will not return. read more

Authentic Thai food . Nice decor . It's a bit overpriced, but BYOB helps. Food was delicious, but service was subpar and rushed. Some of the staffs were ok, but the owner/head staff with a stone face made the vibes unwelcoming. The restaurant was half empty the night we went. We just put down our forks and here came the check (that we hadn't asked for yet). The owner needs to hire a qualified manager to run this establishment. With an upgrade in service, this place can easily compete with the Roots, the Summit House and Fiorinos as the primer dining places in downtown Summit. read more

Good was delicious I highly recommend the crab Rangoon and pad Thai. My friend loved her order of drunken noodles. Service was great and it's a byob so even better. It looks super fancy but is still pretty casual. Will definitely be back! read more

Food and service was awesome! This thai resto is new but is making the right moves! Include the descent interior design of this resto. Feels like your on a fine dining resto, the food presentation is also neat. Accepts credit/debit card. High chair available. See image and video for further reference read more

We were pretty hungry after a day of shopping at Short Hills Mall so we opted for Thai food. The interior of this restaurant' is very pretty. I love the decorations and the furniture. For appetizer we ordered the chicken skewers which were delicious ! They were soft and went really well with the sauces provided for us. My sister and I shared the pad see ew noodles and the fish. I was really disappointed that I paid $35 for a fish that was covered in sweet sauce. On top of that the fish just has a really in fresh smell. I would not recommend ordering it at all but I do recommend getting something from the noodle option Really disappointed and won't be coming back read more

Nakorn Thai Restaurant - a whole fish on a plate - Thai Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Loved the curries and the drunken noodles. Pickup order was quick and ready when. I walked in :)

Well first the chicken tasted a little TOO MUCH like chicken, very confusing. Then the servant threatened to shove the noodles up my AND I QOUTE "I will put this noodle up your butthole if you ask for the food to be returned to the kitchen again!" But he was probably about 14 years old very immature. I will never go to this place again especially after my traumatic experience with that young adult. Oh and I love New York. 1 star. read more

Timely delivery and tasty food, but even I asked for non-spicy, it was delivered as spicy.

Just went to Nakorn again today. The restaurant is so so good. I just read a review about a server yelling at someone. They really find that so shocking. the service is why I love coming here. Today I was there with a girlfriend I hadn't seen in a while and we were chatting for way too long before we ordered. The servers are so patient with both explaining menu items and giving you space so you don't feel rushed. I really think they must've just been having a bad day when they were impatient with the older couple that came. I just can't say enough about how good my experience is when I go there. read more

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. read more

Honestly, I think this place is great! Only ever gotten take out but it has always been huge portions and delicious food. Haven't had a meal yet that I didn't like. They're fast for takeout too.

On Mother's Day our family (8 people) went to Nakorn Thai restaurant in Summit for lunch. We had reservations. Food was delicious BUT ... We had a server who was lovely and took our orders and all was good. Then the food started arriving and someone else was bringing it from the kitchen. Grandma and Grandpa received a bowl of something but did not receive a spoon so asked for one. Then when he came back they asked him for another bowl to share something. When he brought it back they asked him for a spoon for that bowl. And he lost his temper at them and full on started screaming at them. 'Why don't you ask for everything at once? Why do you keep sending me back and forth? Don't you see I'm busy. I don't have time to do this blah blah blah and on...' I was on the other side of the table so I didn't even realize what was happening until I heard him screaming. I got up and proceeded to tell him he was out of line and to stop speaking to them that way and get me the manager and he actually snapped back at me. He actually turned around and screamed at me as he walked away. The assistant manager came over and was very nice and tried to pacify us but mostly was making excuses for him and her efforts were all in trying to get me to be quiet and sit down so that the rest of the restaurant wouldn't know what was happening. 'He's very busy. He's very stressed. It's a busy day...' etc etc. At no point until we left did he come back and apologize. The manager and the original server continued to manage our table. Who yells at the elderly and especially at Grandma on freaking Mother's Day in a restaurant for asking for a spoon? I would have let it go and chalked it off to stress had he chosen to apologize or at least shut up when I checked him. Grandpa is 87 and Grandma is 77 and of a generation that is polite so at no point were they rude to him. Just asking for things. And the manager when apologizing to us just made excuses for him. It was handled very poorly. Super unfortunate and needless to say we will not be back. read more

This is a new Thai restraunt. The iterior design looks nice but table is a little high for the chair. I tried these noodles with my friends. You have options to choose with veggie , chicken, and tofu , or beef , or seafood for the noodles. The price was resonable I thought.The taste .. too salty. I was disappointed. Too salty and too sweet. I thnk it needs to adjust the taste of food. read more

The food was great! Menu was extensive and service was pleasant and fast. Ambience is clean and sharp. Food tasted pretty great and portions were decent. Nice new addition to summit. Removing one star as they don't really have a drinks menu or a dessert menu yet. Also communication could have been better on their menu/dishes. Hoping that improves in future. We will be back to try it out again. read more

Probably the fifth time we have ordered from here. Love the wings, duck salad and curries. Great vegetarian options as well.

Amazing food and excellent service - Truly Thai ! The food from the appetizers, entrees and desserts were excellent !

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. read more

The food was excellent, no complaints with food. The restaurant has a LARGE (20+) long table in the middle of the place to accommodate large parties. too large for such a small restaurant IMO. we just tried to enjoy a meal for two in the restaurant with a huge group in the middle of the space. Kids with this party were out of control and running around, wrestling, etc. No consideration for anyone else in the place. If they want to have and encourage large parties like that, don't have tables of two or four in the same space. Untenable. We won't be back to eat in house, ever, with the large table. Take out, ok. read more

I was here 3 months ago. It was sort of packed but they accommodated my baby's stroller. The food was amazing. From the appetizers to the entrees. I don't remember the app we had but for the main dish we have the fried snapper, fried rice and pad Thai. read more
