Nayada Thai Cuisine

Nayada Thai Cuisine is my go-to place for thai food in my area. The food is delicious with great flavor. Their lunch specials on weekdays are a great value as it comes with soup and dessert. I usually like to take my orders to go. I've ordered a lot of the menu here. If you're coming here for the first time, here's what I'd recommend:IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE HEAT:Thai fried rice: Fried rice packed with herbs and aromatics. It's nice.Crying Tiger Steak: Though pricey, it's nice to have steak with rice and their addictive sauce. Tom Kha Gai soup: One of my favorite dishes at the restaurant, this is their lemongrass coconut soup with your choice of chicken or shrimp. This is sweet, sour, and spicy (if you dare).Pad see Ew with crispy pork: Rice noodles with chinese broccoli and crispy pork, this is a really delicious noodle dish that i'd recommend.IF YOU CAN HANDLE HEAT:PAD PRIK KING with Crispy Pork: Sauteed green beans in spicy red curry and crispy pork. Papaya Salad: Quintessential Thai dish featuring green papaya in fish sauce, peanuts, shrimp. It's sweet, sour, salty, spicy - the combo of flavors that you get in real thai food is so amazing.Soft shell crab panang curry: What's not to like about peanutty red curry with crab?My only gripe is that I always ask for my dishes spicy here and it isn't always consistent. I'm so glad that I can get high quality thai food at a local place. This always satisfies my thai food cravings.

We were seated at a booth and it wasnt busy upon arrival. I ordered tom kha kai and my friends ordered different variations of thai curry. The waiter corrected me when i ordered and said "tom yum kha". I said okay, sure if that's what its called. He also didn't ask how spicy for my dish or any of the curry orders. We all thought that was weird. Things went downhill from there. I received tom yum and politely said i ordered tom kha kai. He water threw attitude and sass right away and said "you ordered tom yum." I corrected him and said "i did not. I ordered tom kha kai and you corrected me with 'tom yum kha.'" He said "there is no such thing." I replied, "well, you said that to me". All he wanted to do was prove he was right. I stopped and mentioned again that this is not what i ordered, can i please have the tom kha kai. He took the order back begrudgingly. We were shortly met with a lady that took over for our table. My friend asked for sambal sauce and she said with attitude "we dont have that here" but gave us the spice tray.. it may be called something else in thai, she didnt bother to ask, but the spice was in the sauce tray. The plates were flavorless, we all had to add sole type of salt or spice to it and portions were tiny. I ordered a small portion of rice and the waiter also failed to mention that the curries get a large pot of rice big enough to share for the table. I also asked for limes but were met with lemons...lime is a main ingredient in tom kha kai and tom yum, so why they didn't even have limes ? My friend ordered mango sticky rice and the mangoes they used were not ripe enough, not even the champagne mangos. Tldr; small portions, lack of flavor, lack of customer service. Don't recommend.

I love this place. Food is always delicious & service is good. It's got a nice sit down vibe & friendly staff I love the curries & tantalizing eggplant plate

Always great service, great taste and the best and cutest little golden bags as appetizers! Highly recommend and definitely one of a kind! Love this place!

This was my 2nd time eating here and I can say that the food is great. Came here with my friend after getting a haircut since we were getting hungry. We ordered the Tom Kha Kai soup with chicken to start. It is served in this cute pot. The soup had decent amount of chicken in it. It is good for 3-4 people. Then we had the papaya salad with shrimp. I am not a fan of having peanuts in it. It was good but didn't have much papaya in it. Definitely not worth the price you pay for the serving that you get with this one. We also had the Pad See Ew with chicken which didn't have much chicken in them. We also ordered the Panang Curry with beef. I like this the most because it had a little bit of kick to it. Although there wasn't that much meat and the serving is somewhat small. For dessert, we tried their mango sticky rice which was my favorite! The serving size was decent and the mangos were sweet. All the dishes that we ordered are flavorful. I am not sure if I will be back considering the serving is somewhat small compared to the price of the dishes. The value isn't there. Service was great though.

The crab fried rice , coconut soup , pad kee mao was probably the best out of the dishes we ordered .

Just came with my family after a long while of not having been back. Service was initially slow for taking drink and food orders but once orders were in, the food actually came out pretty quickly. It was a Friday night, 6:30pm so they were pretty busy. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was great - we all enjoyed, especially my 2 year old who loved the chicken satay, fried rice, and orange chicken. I'll be back.

Place is very trendy and relaxing , very great atmosphere.Food was great , very fast and good taste , the clear noodles soup was so right to hit anyone light soup .Friendly staff , but there was a waiter with a little attitude when taking our order , I felt like he didn't like us to be here and was forced to take our order , oh well , but the waitresses were super .

Awesome service and food! There are so many options on the menu and they are really good! The Thai tea is awesome!
