NaKorn started with our belief that authentic Thai food should be found not only in Thailand—but here, as well.

Our menu offers a perfect blend of bold flavors with traditional, old-world recipes in a modern presentation. Using only the finest ingredients, we created unique dishes layered with flavors.

    We had an absolutely perfect experience! It was one of the friendliest staffs. We have experienced in many years, and everyone was so welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious and the ambience was welcoming. Truly, one of the most wonderful dining experiences we have had on the North Shore in a long time!

    As a Thai person visiting Thai restaurants, I am rather picky, but NaKorn blew me away! Drinks and food were phenomenal. They had a variety of Thai dishes that were authentic to the flavor of Thai food and some with a modern twist which was very exciting. The service was fantastic as well, I went there for a bday dinner with my older Thai parents and they also loved it. Our waitress was super informed and gave us great recommendations.

    We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at NaKorn! The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with excellent service. Every dish was delicious, with authentic Thai flavors and fresh ingredients. The presentation was gorgeous, and there was a variety of flavors and textures. NaKorn offers an exceptional dining experience, and we can't wait to return for another amazing meal!

    NaKorn is our favorite restaurant in town! Rush and team always make the experience amazing and the food has to be some of the best in the city! We recently dined at NaKorn for 2 events and the prefixed dinner menus were amazing! Highly recommend a visit and trying the papaya salad!
