About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Innovative

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.

“Nakorn is The Best Kept Secret” in Evanston! Unique delicious flavors in every bite of everything and anything you order. We go there at least 2-3 times a week, trying different appetizers, Salads & Meals. … Once you go to Nakorn, you will always come back. It’s incredibly delicious. Great Ambience, Service is best we’ve come across by far. The restaurant is Spotless, warm and inviting! Wonderful people~Simply The Best!

I’ve had lunch here a few times and have always enjoyed it but the vibe at dinner is wonderful! We sat at the bar and were very comfortable, had great service and wonderful food. Even wine by the glass selections were well-curated and reasonably priced. Lots of fun! Went with an old friend from CA and we talked for a long time - the very kind server at the bar gave us small glasses of bubbly because she thought we looked like we were having fun! We were- and I’ll be back!

A wonderful restaurant. Loved the ambience and the attentive wait staff. I have allergies and the person who waited on us went out of his way to make it a grand experience. The food was perfectly prepared, exceptional Thai food and unusual offerings. I will return as soon as possible.

The finest Thai food you will experience. The tapioca cracker appetizer is a show stopper, and reflects the chef’s creativity. The curry chicken, the sea bass, the short ribs are superb. Most importantly, the quality of the food, and the service are consistently of the highest level,
