Renu Nakorn is known for their Northern Thailand dishes such as Issan Sausages and Khao Soi and it was the first home for Chef Saipin from Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas; however, over the course of time, management has changed hands at Nakorn. Central Thai dishes like Papaya Salad, Moo Ping, and Pad See Ew come in generous portions; however, I wouldn't say that Renu Nakorn serves the best versions of those dishes. I did like the Pad See Ew as the rice noodles have a really nice chew, the chinese broccoli offered nice freshness and crunch, and it came with good bits of meat and egg. Moo ping is a really tasty BBQ pork and the paired sauce is addictive; however, I would have loved more prominent grill/char flavor. Papaya Salad was missing the dried shrimps that give umami/savory/salty flavors that balance the dish. Don't miss the opportunity to get dishes from their "Northern Thai" menu as it's what they're really known for. Issan sausages are really nice as they offer uniquely savory, herby flavors. If you haven't had Khao Soi, the noodles in the yellow coconut curry are so delicious and the crispy noodles on top offer really nice textural contrast. read more

Everything is so delicious! The workers are very nice, I will 100% come back! So flavorful

Very nice place. Staff were very polite. My husband placed the order for dinner on a Wednesday night and I went to pick it up. They stated it would be ready in about 20 minutes and they had it packed and ready to go by the time I arrive about 45 minutes prior to closing. There were two other families eating when I had arrived not talking and enjoying their food (very good sign in my option). I walked straight up the cashier and they rang me up. My food was waiting on the first table right in front of the cash register. The lady unpacked it so I could see each item that we had ordered and then put it right back in the box. We ordered pan seared dumplings (I requested them steamed instead of pan fried), 1 order of chicken wontons, 1 order of pad see ew (steak and shrimp combo), 1 order of shrimp fried rice and one order of pork pad Thai. My husband and I enjoyed every item that we ordered. I have nothing negative to say about the food except the chicken wontons first off. I thought they were cream cheese wontons, but that was my bad for not reading the menu correctly, but the amount of chicken inside of them was so little it felt like I was just eating a wonton lol other than that everything else was great! I can't wait to go back and actually eat in the restaurant. Secure the bad pictures. The whole Family was hungry so I served my kids before I took any pictures. read more

I've been here multiple times over the last few years. So a review is over due. The staff is always so helpful and always make great recommendations. The yellow curry is a must get. The tom kha is comforting! And the rad na! I always get a soup, some specialty rice, some noodles and a vegetable. You could close your eyes and point to the menu and it would be good read more

Beautiful location! Everyone was really helpful when I had questions about the menu the food was brought out quickly and huge compliments to the chef 10/10 would definitely eat here again if you're in the area check it out! read more

Renu Nakorn - Amazing little Thai Place! - Thai Near Me - Norwalk, California

Authentic Northern Thai dishes available. Fresh ingredients, lots of veggies, sincere service.

My son is a frequent customer here. So I bought my family take-out for dinner. It cost $87+ for 3 of us. The 2 shrimp pad thai plates only had 4 shrimp! Very disappointing. I will never spend another hard earned penny here. read more

Very yummy food! Quick service. Large portion sizes. A little pricey but worth it! Clean dining room. Food always hot and fresh.

I ordered the lunch special for $15.99 and chose the ginger chicken. Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The meal started with what was supposed to be a salad, but it was literally three tiny leaves completely drenched in dressing. It felt careless and unappetizing. The ginger chicken itself was thinly sliced, very small portions, and sitting in what looked like almost half an inch of sauce. I actually had to drain the sauce off just to make it edible. The chicken tasted overwhelmingly salty -- like it had been dumped into a bowl of salt. Shortly after eating, I ended up with a headache. Honestly, this was one of the worst Thai food experiences I've had in a long time. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this one really missed the mark. read more

Their food and service is excellent! I have been going there for years and I have gone to many Thai restaurants, but nothing compares to Renu Nakorn. read more

My review per UrbanSpoon/Zomato from July 10 2015: Got take out (FAST!) and anytime I try a new Thai place, my standard is the Pad Thai. If they get that right, they're alright! This place got it right and complemented it with fried rice & 3 fried dumplings w/duck sauce. Apparently, it comes without a standard or varying heat levels -- they include the spice on the side to add to your preferential liking. Would return! Colorful and well made Pad Thai, not greasy like other places. Hope to try more dishes next time! Be aware no credit cards accepted for purchases less than $10. read more

Met up with some friends for lunch. Was welcomed upon entering and quicky seated. Opted for the Pad Thai and substituted the chicken and shrimp for tofu. To drink, I had a Thai iced coffee. All of our food came out extremely fast! The pad Thai was so flavorful, saucy, and savory, the raw bean sprouts gave the dish a nice crunch and freshness. The Thai iced coffee was ok, it didn't have much of a coffee flavor at all. It tasted like watered down condensed milk IMO. (Don't think I'd get it again) Service was great, we waited for a couple people to arrive and placed their orders for them prior to them coming. They (the restaurant) kept their meals warm for them awaiting their arrival. There is an ample amount of seating, several booths as well as tables throughout the restaurant. Also, they offer lunch and dinner specials Monday through Friday! Definitely recommend even just for a quick bite! read more

My friend and I came to Reno Nakorn for an early dinner although in the past when we would come to this restaurant it was during lunch and always busy but luckily at dinner it wasn't busy at all... The food was okay but I felt it was lacking flavor in compare to previous times..Although we did enjoy the sticky rice and mango for dessert.. We will be back and give them one more chance!! read more

Another fantastic meal at Renu Nakorn. This service is always excellent and the food is always fresh and delicious. It's all great: Nam Kao Tod, Steamed Chicken Dumplings, Tom Kah Kai Soup, Panang Curry, Khao Soi, and Mint and Green Chili, Sauteed with chili, garlic and sweet basil La Mirada is not known for their restaurants, but Renu Nakorn is a hidden gem. If you ever make it down this way, this is the place for Thai food. read more

I'll start by stating that the quality and flavor of the meals were good and service was good too, but portions were exceptionally small for the price. Secondly, curries and other meals aren't accompanied with white rice as is standard in other places I frequent. A bit disappointed in portion size but quality was good. read more

I am not sure why this place doesn't have a five star! Everything was amazing! I had the coconut seafood soup. Most delicious balance and perfect portion. Super friendly workers and owners. Nice quiet vibe with relaxing Asian instrumental music. Amazing experience! The owner is so sweet and followed up with me and asked how I liked the food! I felt like at home read more

Does waste your time and most importantly your money!! I paid $20 for a cup of yellow curry that wasn't very good.

The service here is great and the staff is super friendly! We walked in and noticed the place was a quiet and relaxing atmosphere which is nice for a place located in a strip mall. I ordered the Red Curry (#125) with chicken and asked for extra spicy. The thin strips of chicken were paired with slices of bell peppers and had a hint of mint as well. It was simmering in a coconut milk broth and was decently spicy without compromising flavor. My wife ordered the Kai Koowah (#106) and hers was equally as delicious. I sampled hers and the beef was tender, delicious and the thick cut noodles were fantastic. Mi Ama ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp. Hers was also very tasty and came as a large enough portion to share with the family. We highly recommend this place if you are craving some great Thai Food! We will definitely come back for more! read more

Delicious food every time, a clean restaurant, and friendly staff who make you feel welcome. That said, the prices have gotten pretty outrageous. Don't get me wrong I'll still eat here because the food is that good, just not as often as before. read more

My friend and I swung by for a quick lunch on a Sunday afternoon, and it was good! We were greeted immediately, and our server promptly greeted us. We ordered their papaya salad to share, which was absolutely delicious, along with their combination beef noodle soup. I enjoyed the beef noodle soup, especially after a late night of drinking. Their noodles were cooked perfectly, and went well with their broth; however, despite requesting no vegetables in one of our dishes, we discovered quite a few green onions and bean sprouts. Our server was incredible thoughtful and helped to pack our leftovers for us. The restaurant itself seemed very simple inside, and seemed like their servers were working on tidying up several tables after a smidge of a lunch rush. Plenty of parking available in the plaza. read more

My cup and plate were not clean. The staff were late in taking our order, perhaps because they were upset that I asked them to change the water cup. When I left after finishing my meal, there was not a single word of greeting. read more

Ordered the tofu pad thai dinner special. The dumplings were nice and crispy with good flavor, and both the soup and salad were decent! As for the pad thai, taste was good, possibly a bit light on flavor, but the noodles were cooked well. There were SO many bean sprouts in the dish though, like almost as many sprouts as there were noodles, and the portions are pretty small which is why I took a star off. Overall would probably eat here again since it's close to home and food was served relatively quickly. read more

I really can't Believe I just paid 16.99 for Shrimp fried rice that ONLY HAD 3 shrimp!!!! And one of them still had the poop line in tact ! This is a nice look restaurant but the food is very bland I also got the garlic beef and it's like soup yuck ! And the Kung pow chicken it was ok still not much flavor I'm really disappointed so mad I spend almost 60 bucks and the food tastes like it came from a hospital cafeteria ..... never going back read more

This is by far the skimpiest serving I've had here. This is such a rip off. $15.99 for fried rice served in a meal prep containers? I paid $85 for 4 meal prep containers that weren't even filled. They loaded my pad Thai with more bean sprouts than noodles. I get everything is expensive, but at least give customers the same serving as before. They cut your serving in half and raised the prices. Definitely not coming here. I ordered shrimp fried rice, and got 3 shrimps. smh. Food was not hot, just warm. read more

Renu Nakorn is a renowned thai restaurant in the Los Angeles area. You may not assume this based on its location tucked away in a strip mall, but this place never disappoints. The servers take time to remember regulars by name and what they like to eat. As a vegan, many thai restaurants are unable to adapt dishes to my diet, but they take time to explain which dishes they can make and are transparent about the ingredients. Every meal has been consistently excellent and there is never a lapse of quality or freshness. So far I've had, Pad Thai, Papaya Salad, Pad See Ew, Tom Kha Kai, Spring Rolls and a Thai Tea that the sever makes with lemon which tastes very fresh. Come here to sit comfortably in a nice booth and enjoy great thai food, they can likely accommodate to your needs. read more

Food is authentic Thai! Most pad Thai I had tend to be Americanized, too sweet, this place brought me back to the original pad Thai taste. The menu is extensive! It has more Northern Thai flavor, which I don't mind. If I was hungrier I would have ordered more. read more

a gem with secret vegan options! the customer service here always goes above and beyond. i am in love with the vegan papaya salad, vegan vegetable pad thai, and vegan thai tea! these options are not on their menu (although they totally should be!) but as long as you let the waiter/waitress know you want it vegan/vegetarian, they can easily accommodate! it is my go-to order and i haven't found another thai restaurant that even compares to the peaceful ambiance of this family friendly place. the workers literally treat their customers like family; they're so nice. it's a small intimate restaurant with plenty of parking spots! overall, highly recommend! read more

It was my first time trying them out few friends recommended it. Its location isnt too bad, parking can be limited during peak hours it is surrounded by other food places but plenty when it's calmed down. It is spacious inside, clean, plenty of seating, fair pricing and the staff is very kind and provide excellent service. It was my first time trying out Thai food as well, I was used to chinese food so this healthier alternative could strike the taste buds a bit different but doesn't disappoint. I tried the pad Thqai shrimp plate and I would definitely get it again. I still have plenty of dishes to try out as I'm getting more familiar with their style. I recommend them read more

This is the best Thai place in town! Not only do they have delicious traditional flavors they also have 6 out of 5 star service! They always treat me like family and promptly answer any questions I have. So glad I found Renu! I go so often they know my name before I even tell them. read more

horrible!!!!!!!! the shrimp friend rice is literally half of the tray & its 15.99 for rice & 4 pcs of shrimp. The papaya salad is a joke haha ha forgot to laugh. They give you a slice of cabbage & again the salad half of half of the tray. Been to other Thai locations and this has to be the skimpiest food I have ever seen in my entire life...& im asian lol. i do not recommend this place!!! in & out taste better than this & is way cheaper & much more filling & fresh than this ish. good luck to you buying this mediocre food. Called back & lady hung up on me...mediocre food mediocre service. What more can you expect? Nothing. Save gas going here. read more
