Naam Khao

This was my second visit there. I got take out this time. I sat at the bar while I waited for my food. I love the place. The ladies that work there are very charming. They introduce themselves and call you by your name. They're friendly and marbe a little flirtatious. But I'm a single guy, so I like that. I think it's a Great Place.

After all the generally great reviews on food quality but warnings on service, we should have known better. I took the family here today for dinner.

Service started out promising (Waitress was nice,) but then in an mostly empty dining room she forgot about bringing an extra plate.

We ordered the Crispy Spring Rolls as my wife and daughter are vegetarian. For $6.95 we really expected better. The spring rolls were greasy, likely fried at too low a temperature and the filling was forgettable.  Wife and kid shared the Red Curry (tofu) with rice. Even ordered mild it was too spicy for the 3 year old so she ate plain rice. However, for my wife and I it was fine and tasted good. I ordered the Spicy Cashew Nuts with tofu thinking it was vegetarian. Turns out it had a healthy dose of fish sauce with it. However, the taste was very good for me as I don't like the typical Thai curry drenched in coconut milk. One note it was a very oily dish with a layer floating over the entire plate. The cashews and Umami, sweet and hot flavors were balanced perfectly. However, it would be nice if the menu items denoted which dishes are truly vegetarian.

It took multiple attempts to flag down the waitress to get a plate as she forgot at least twice. The bad service plus the generally "meh" dishes will mean we won't be back to NK as there are several other good options nearby. For us, the quality king at a higher price is Ginger Thai near I-10 and Hwy 6. Close to NK there's Thai House which has great service and good food.

Despite our bad experience I'd say try NK for yourself but first go to these places I mentioned for some great Thai food.

Went here on hubby's desire...regretted it. Place was empty and service sucked. Hate to think what it's like when it's full. We got the spring rolls which were loaded with oil and just nasty. The yellow curry was decent but spicy even though we ordered mild for our toddler. The cashew entree was loaded with fish sauce and oil. If you want good Thai, skip this place and go across the street to Thai House or to Ginger Thai. Will not be coming here again.
