Narong's Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Sunrise Manor

YO! Why is this place not overrun with people?! There should be people like Zombieland clawing at the doors for their food!

We all know Weera Thai is #1 in LV but, it's expensive, can seem a bit prickly at times, and is always packed with people. I've traveled the world, spent almost a year in Chan Mai and Pattaya, Thailand. I used to write an editorial called Thai America where I'd rate Thai restaurants around the US. "Narong's Thai Kitchen" would be in my top 10 no doubt. That said, don't expect a beautiful Las Vegas scene. It's a quaint restaurant right outside of Nellis AFB with that Mom & Pop vibe.

Order from your heart here. The staff is amazing and attentive without being in your face. It's not one of those stuffy restaurants where you'd only order pad thai because, the chef is trying to be too "fancy". Just a family-style restaurant with good food in mind.

Tonight we had a Yum Woon Sen (glass noodle salad), fried chicken wontons, and Thai beef jerky for appetizers. I'm unfortunately allergic to shellfish but, they were so willing to accommodate and they made the yum woon sen for me with ground chicken. Phenomenal. We then had a chicken kra pow (spicy basil chicken) and a pork pad kee mow (drunken noodles). Add some prik nam pla sauce, to kick everything to an even higher level, and you have a meal set...

I got myself and my children dinner via UberEats and am giving them 3 stars because the Green Curry was delicious (like bomb delicious…like delicious delicious) just like at my favorite restaurant in Austin (888-that’s the restaurant in Austin)!!! But the pad thai wasn’t great and the two orders of chow mein tasted like a burnt grill and tasteless beyond that. I was the only one to eat my dinner and be satisfied but still didn’t enjoy it fully knowing that my kids didn’t enjoy it. And no, they are not picky eaters.

The prices are awesome but to be out over 30$ just for food to be put in the microwave (the microwave is where they place the food to die so they don’t hurt my feelings). I found this out recently as I sometimes cook doo doo (trying out new recipes since the covideos).

However I will plan a trip here just for myself and the cravings of that bomb green curry!!! And yes I know there are plenty of other items to also try out but when you can’t get the chow mein noodles right, you get the 3 stars for now. I want the chow mein of that restaurant inside the MGM or Pho90. That’s who you can try to mimic.

So yes, give them a go on their green curry and tell me your thoughts on anything other than: anything chow mein or pad thai (aka steer clear of those).

And as...

This is a long winded detailed review from a first time/likely last time customer. Tried this place tonight, ordered my usual thai food order i get at every thai place, and thought Id be ok since they have almost 5 stars... well i was mistaken and extremely disappointed. First sign of a bad experience came when i called. I was hung up on 2x in a row before gettin a voice on the line then was placed on hold 5 min and then hung up on again. But it was busy dinner time hour so I figured they deserve the benefit of the doubt but silly me. The food that I ordered was not spicy like I asked for, and the setae had absolutely no taste that chicken satay should have, and was undercooked too, and I got about a teaspoon and a half of the peanut sauce that usually comes with it. my Pad See Ew with chicken and shrimp was not spicy as requested, and totally lacked that flavor im so accustomed to. It just plain "sucked"! The chili sauce was not spicy at all, but The sticky rice was fine and the thai tea was good though so theres that. But for $22 i want more than good tea and sticky rice. That was all i could stomach eating. I hope the owner will contact me and replace my order with edible food and i will adjust my review...
