Interesting place with a very nice view of King Street. It keeps up with what I thought Thai food would be like after watching all those travel vlogs on YouTube in Thailand. Somewhat - nothing too exotic for a place like Brockville...which could be a good or bad thing, I guess, depending on what you are after.. The food, by the way, is excellent. I loved it. A lot of attention brought to the intricacies of flavour and presentation, which is how good cooking should be. I ordered a seafood custard soup and it tasted the way it was described on the menu. The atmosphere is relaxed but don't expect to be kept waiting; staff are very attentive, very friendly, and quite cheerful. So two thumbs up for the mood. The owners have a very charming backstory and they both seem to love what they do. The place is kept clean and roomy, yet simple, and still allows for a lot of lovely decor indicative of classic Thai culture.
All in all, highly recommended. The only minor quibble I have is that things can get a bit expensive so keep track of what you order. The soups are considered a main course and they can be up to $18 or maybe more. I had to order two servings of rice to make the custard a proper meal which I ate as a curry. This restaurant might not be the best choice for a large family but if you're a couple or you're single like me, or if you only have one child with you, then consider...
Read moreI appreciated the authenticity of the place from the servers to the decors present. The short history of the founding of the restaurant was also available on the menu board. It was such a quick, good read.
Right at the start, I love how hospitable they were in accommodating our seating request. We were a large group of 8 people with 1 baby so we needed 2 tables joined together. After pulling out a potted plant decor, we were able to have the 2 tables joined next to each other.
We were tired from the long day by the time we arrived at Nakkon Thai so we just went with the Combos options. We chose D3 Combo (4-6 people) and added a couple more dishes. The quantity of the combo meal may have already been sufficient for 8 people not looking to eat a lot.
The food was served fast, and we did not have to wait too long. That is as far as to the positive things I have to say of the place.
The food was good, but not the best. I have tasted spicier (not hot), creamier, and more flavourful Thai dishes from other Thai restaurants. The curry sauce was not as thick and strong flavoured as I have come to expect for a Thai restaurant. I also would have loved it if the Tom Kha Chicken Soup was a little...
Read moreWe thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Nakhon Thai last night. Food was excellent! Service was friendly, efficient, and enthusiastic! There have been some changes to the restaurant since the last time we were there. They have expanded the menu and now offer some smaller cost conscious options to their most popular entrées. For example, it’s possible to order a smaller Pad Thai for $10. The dining room is decorated absolutely beautifully. There have been some renovations to the interior of the dining room. They now have a bar across the front window facing the street with higher chairs. The window facing the street is able to open in good weather so that you have the luxury of being inside, but the ambiance of being outside. The tables are set up so that there can be larger parties and intimate seatings. We went in on a Tuesday night at five. The restaurant was 1/3 full with two large parties and a few couples. When we left at 6:15, there were several parties at the door, coming...
