Overview

Tucked away on Pollen Street in Thames, Nakontong Thai Restaurant is a little gem that could easily be missed if you’re not looking for it. Since 2009, it has packed in locals and visitors alike, all craving a bite of some of the best Thai food around.

Walking in, you’re greeted with an atmosphere that feels like a cozy slice of Thailand. The decor? It’s like a treasure trove of real Thai antiques, which totally sets the mood. And let’s not even get started on the food! The menu offers a dizzying range of dishes — from the spicy Tom Yum soup that practically sings to your taste buds, to the Drunken Noodles that hit just the right spot. Seriously, every bite bursts with flavor.

I always find myself opting for the Roti bread with peanut sauce. That combo? A match made in heaven. You can also swing by for lunch specials that are wallet-friendly, making a great meal even better.

What really stands out, though, is the service. Staff here? They’re not just professional; they’ve got this playful charm that makes you feel right at home. Plus, if you’re in a rush, you can grab takeout or call ahead for reservations. Just a heads up, weekends can get busy, so planning ahead might save you some time.

Plus, they’re a woman-owned establishment, which is pretty cool. It’s family-friendly too, perfect for hanging out with the kids. With heaps of vegan and vegetarian options, they cater to just about everyone.

So next time you’re in Thames and need a food fix, Nakontong Thai might just be your new favorite spot. Good food, fast service, and a warm vibe? Count me in!
