Nara Thai Cuisine Central World — Restaurant in Pathum Wan Subdistrict

I recently visited this restaurant for lunch and was greeted by a beautifully decorated space with a Royal purple tone, which added to the ambiance and overall experience.

I decided to try one of their top ten recommended dishes, the Ayuttaya Boat Noodles with Beef Slices served with Soup, and also ordered the Stir-Fried Morning Glory with Crispy Pork Belly as a side. The presentation of the noodle dish was impressive, but unfortunately, the vegetable dish fell short of expectations.

The boat noodle with beef slices had a flavorful broth, and the beef was tender and tasty. However, I found the price to be on the higher side compared to what I would usually pay for a similar dish.

Regrettably, the stir-fried morning glory with crispy pork belly was a disappointment. The pork belly was overcooked and lacked the desired crispiness. It felt stale, which was disappointing considering the expectation for a satisfying texture. On a positive note, the morning glory itself was decent and provided some redeeming qualities to the dish.

Overall, my experience at this restaurant had its ups and downs. While the beautifully presented Ayuttaya Boat Noodles with Beef Slices impressed me, the disappointing quality of the stir-fried morning glory with crispy pork belly was a letdown. The slow service higher price point for the boat noodle dish also affected my overall...

Nara was introduced to me many years back when I started my frequent business trip to Bangkok. This is also the one that helped train my lousy spicy level up because their dishes were fabulous, and I felt it would be a waste of life if you can't take spicy food.. 😜 After many years of not returning, I went there again in June. This time, I am bringing along a European colleague, and therefore, i need to give Thailand a fair and awesome perception, especially for food..

1. The pineapple fried rice was being introduced to a foreigner - the comment was.. wow, that's very good,
2. Then we had the appetiser - pamelo salad with crunchy dried shrimp, a concoction of sweet & sour taste that opens up the appetite,
3. The ever famous pandan chicken, which I felt is so so,
4. we moved on to the next - crab meat in omelette.. I've never tried Raan Jay Fai 😅😅 but Nara's version is very good minus the queue,
5. we were served with garlic fried river prawn - 1 of my highlight for this meal.. fresh, tasty, and mini lobster feel though is prawn,
6. we end with the mango sticky rice.. can't go wrong with this no matter where you eat.

My vegetarian colleague ordered mushroom 🍄 Tom yum soup which is not bad, fried rice with crunchy kailan topping.

I felt so satisfying after the meal and I promise to visit Nara again in my next trip...
