NaKorn started with our belief that authentic Thai food should be found not only in Thailand—but here, as well.

Our menu offers a perfect blend of bold flavors with traditional, old-world recipes in a modern presentation. Using only the finest ingredients, we created unique dishes layered with flavors.

    Pros: Excellent service from everybody on staff, the coconut curry chicken is consistently amazing (chicken slightly overcooked, but you can put a shoe in that sauce and I'll eat it), and a nice lively atmosphere. Cons: Sweet potato appetizer (a special) had no detectable sweet potato in it and was underwhelming. Will be back for the curry chicken dish.

    This is our new favorite Evanston restaurant! We keep returning with larger groups so we can try new dishes in addition to enjoying our favorites, which include the whole fish and blue crab with noodles (plus the papaya salad)! The cocktails are also terrific. We recommend the Jasmine Old Fashioned and the Act Like Audrey.

    the sight in procedure to give a review was far too complicated. I understand the need for authenticity, but this was too much, and actually affected my overall very positive impression of the restaurant. clean it up

    Our go to dishes are the Fried Branzino and Artic Char, lettuce wraps with chicken, aubergine (egg plant). The night we went, they had a grilled chicken that was flavorful with lemongrass, ginger with papaya salad. Did not need the sweet chili sauce. Desserts were delicious, classics with Asian twists.

    Amazing food and lovely service. Only complaint was that the live music was too loud. It was great music just needed to turn down their speaker. We had a hard time hearing each other. Highly recommend.
