We’ve dined at Nara Thai many times. The dishes always come out hot, fresh, and flavorful. Chicken Satay is a must try appetizer, the peanut dipping sauce compliments the chicken so well. Oh, the young papaya salad was so delicious. The sauce they used is very unique, citrusy, sweet, tangy, a little heat (the level we asked for) and not over powered by the fish sauce (which can be very fishy, like some restaurants have it). We’ve had papaya salad at other Asian restaurants and Nara still has the best papaya salad.. My daughter and I ordered chicken Pad Thai, the seasoning was perfect but the rice noodles were a little over cooked. My husband got the basil fried rice, he loved it!!! We shall return. Love this place!

Decided to give this place a try since we love Thai and we were not disappointed. The place is beautiful and has plenty of seating inside and outside. Our server was very nice and attentive to us. The food came out at a good time and everything tasted delicious with fresh taste. Definitely coming back to try other dishes.

I had the Pad Kra Pow with Roasted Duck and thoroughly enjoyed it. Spice level was perfect. Also tried the mango with sticky rice dessert and it was wonderful. Service was warm and friendly. Would definitely visit again to try some other items on the menu.

Brought my kids and they said “the service was too good!” Shout out to Monse. Fantastic, friendly, genuine service. 5 star service. Reasonably priced kid’s menu, free garage parking.

I’ve only ever eaten here ordering off Uber eats and it has been 100% what I wanted everytime. I love extra extra spicy so I get the Thai extra spicy and it’s the perfect amount of spice for me. A lot of other places have the thai extra spicy on their menu and it’s not as good or as spicy as here. They give you a good size portion and when you want extra chicken they are not playing just like the spicy they are not playing it’s spicy spicy ‍ I got the drunken noodles

10/10 all around. Great food, perfect vegan options. Good prices. I got the pad Thai but vegan and it was great. I also got the veggie fried spring rolls and the vegan chocolate ice cream. $25 for two people. Only thing I didn’t like was the sauce that the vegan egg rolls came with, it was sugary, artificial, and bright red.

The restaurant was very clean and comfortable . Our waiter was kind and wore a mask to wait on us at our request. The food was fresh, but the spice was too hot for us to enjoy or taste the subtle flavors and textures, although we asked for level two, but got five. We will try again when our taste buds return. We eat Thai at least once a week.

Great flavor, but we got the spice level wrong! Medium was a bit too spicy for us, but even below the heat, the pad Kee mow, pad Thai, pad kra pow, and chicken satay had good flavor! The spicy basil fried rice was a little bland under the heat but had good consistency with the egg. Unfortunately they were out of mango sticky rice, but the Thai custard was a welcome sweet treat!

Great experience at Nara today. We visited at lunchtime, and I was impressed how nice the dining room looked, especially given that the main elements from the precious restaurant were preserved which was not nearly as nice. Easy parking in the back with the free parking garage, which is a nice change of pace for many restaurants nearby.

My go to Thai spot in the heights. This is a great reasonably priced place for dine in or take out. Happy hour is great as well, $3 for beer and $4 for sake. My faves are the pad Thai & eggplant basil
