Nong’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Manchester

During a recent trip to Manchester, Vermont, we stumbled upon Nong’s Kitchen, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. This cozy little spot may look unassuming from the outside, but the warmth, flavor, and love inside make it truly special. While doing restaurant reviews, I didn't want to forget doing one for Nong's Kitchen.

From the first bite, you can tell everything is made with care. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, and it was absolutely perfect noodles cooked just right, with a beautiful balance of sweet, savory, and a hint of tang. My friend got the Drunken Noodles, and we were both blown away by the bold flavors and fresh veggies spicy, satisfying, and full of personality.

But what really stood out was the hospitality. It’s the kind of genuine kindness that sticks with you. You don’t just feel like a customer here you feel like you’ve been welcomed into someone’s home.

We took home some mango sticky rice for dessert, and it was the perfect ending creamy, fragrant, and not overly sweet. A true comfort dish, done right.

If you're in the Manchester area, do yourself a favor and visit Nong’s Kitchen. The food is outstanding, the people are lovely, and the experience is one you’ll remember long after...

Wow I ate all four on my own and barley had room for my ramen ( which I got to go and tasted great to go also). In the future I know Ill be back.

We had a flat tire leaving restaurant. We pulled back into their spacious parking lot to regroup. The proprietor of the property saw we were in distress He approached us and was genuine. Ron was instrumental in troubleshooting and had local contacts. Our spare tire was flat and hydraulic lift stem sheered. He rallied the community to respond. He even did impromptu extension for leverage to get the tire bolts off. Cooper pipe. Our spare had 5 psig and needed 60. He and the waiter took the spare to local gas station and inflated spare. M -Ron’s guy - helped with the labor and we shared sweat and then toasted with bottled water. Ron...
