The restaurant was neat and clean, and the staff were very friendly. As for the food, I think my expectations were a bit too high. The Tom Yum Mama soup portion was much smaller than what was shown in the picture. The Pad Thai was too sweet, and the drunken noodles were a bit bland. Overall, the dishes were fairly pricey, and unfortunately they didn’t taste very authentic to me.

We had such a great experience at Nalak Thai! The vibes were warm and inviting, and the decorations were beautiful. We ordered the chicken larb, shrimp lo mein noodles, and beef tender noodle soup, plus a tiramisu matcha cloud latte. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor.
Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. We’ve actually seen her at another restaurant before, and she recognized us right away when we walked in and greeted us, which made us feel so welcomed!
Overall, we’re very happy with our visit and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Nalak Thai is a gorgeous restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, great looking food, and attentive staff. We enjoyed our time here and will be coming back.
We ordered the Moo Ping which was very tasty. It had a great grilled flavor and the sweet and sour sauce was a nice touch. We also got a side of peanut sauce, and I highly recommend getting that too for the Moo Ping.
For our entree we got the Laad Na with a side of white rice. It was cooked well, fresh ingredients, but lacked flavor. It felt like something was missing, maybe a little salt? Not sure, but we mixed it with the sauces from the Moo Ping and it helped.
The matcha flight was very lovely and it was nice to try the different flavors. The Thai matcha was my favorite, followed by the mango, coconut and strawberry.
I will say, this Thai place is a little more expensive than others in the area so keep that in mind if you want to visit. Great for a date night, though.

I was a frequent visitor to the previous restaurant, and I can confidently say that Nalak Thai is far more than just a replacement. The new owners have completely remodeled and refreshed everything, and the result is outstanding. Nalak Thai is hands down one of the best Thai dining experiences I’ve had.
The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and genuinely charming. It feels like a modern Thai café you’d stumble into in Bangkok. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Zinny, who many regulars will recognize from the previous restaurant, is still there and remains one of the kindest and most patient people you could hope to meet.
The menu has been thoughtfully updated while still offering all the classic Thai staples. The Pad See Ew is fantastic, with excellent cuts of meat and perfect seasoning. The Basil Duck and Thai Steak were both cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We also had ordered a few appetizers (Chicken Satay, Tom Yum, and Fried Tofu) all were delicious and generously portioned.
The drinks deserve a special mention. The mocktails and matcha drinks are exceptional! My favorites were the Mango Tango (if you like coconut, passion fruit and mango) and the Strawberry Matcha.
For dessert, do yourself a favor and order the Mango Sticky Rice. It absolutely lives up to the hype and perfectly completes the dining experience (It is pictured). Also ordered the fried banana ice cream which also was very good!
I noticed a negative review from a so-called “Local Guide” mentioning a billing issue. Please take that with a grain of salt. Minor hiccups happen at new restaurants, and they don’t reflect the quality of the food, service, or overall experience here. Please don’t give his “AI” review any thought or time. These people think that one mistake on a bill and the world is ending.
Support a local business that’s clearly putting care and heart into what they do. I promise you’ll leave happy, full, and already planning your next visit.

The food was absolutely delicious but the highlight at this restaurant would be the matcha drinks. We had the strawberry matcha, mango cloud, and tiramisu matcha drinks and they were amazing. The presentation of the drinks was very cute and picture-worthy for all you foodies out there.

Finally got to check out Nalak Thai! The interior is beautiful — the warm tones, greenery, and lighting are all put together so thoughtfully. It feels cozy, modern, and welcoming. The atmosphere was great and the staff were all really kind and attentive
For the appetizers, we ordered the tom yum soup, which I really appreciated because it actually had the right balance of sour and savory. A lot of places I’ve been to miss that and it ends up tasting hella flat. The fried tofu was perfectly cooked and it paired so well with the sweet chili pineapple sauce on the side, and the crushed peanuts in the sauce added the perfect finishing touch. We punished that plate pretty quickly haha.
For our entrees, we ordered the udon drunken noodles with beef and the green curry with crispy chicken, and both were delicious! It was my first time having drunken noodles made with udon noodles instead of the usual wide flat noodles, so it was a fun twist that still worked really well. The green curry was rich and flavorful, and he loved that they offered crispy chicken as a protein option since most Thai restaurants don’t.
To end the night, we tried three different matcha drinks: the coconut matcha cloud, Thai tea matcha cloud, and tiramisu crème matcha. We stayed up all night but honestly… no regrets at all Our favorite was definitely the Thai tea matcha cloud — so good and worth it!
Overall, Nalak Thai is such a great spot and I’ll definitely come back again to try more dishes!

We had an amazing experience at Nalak Thai. The food was absolutely outstanding. The Tom Yum Mama soup was flavorful with the perfect balance of spice and tang, the Khao Soi noodles were rich, comforting, and easily a standout dish, and the matcha flight was a fun and delicious touch! We like the strawberry matcha flavor the best, overall great variety and beautifully done.
Service was excellent from start to finish. They were attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome.
The atmosphere was lively and energetic, making it a great spot for both casual dining and a fun night out.
Five stars all around. I would highly recommend Nalak Thai and will definitely be coming back.

Great new Thai spot! Went for their soft opening. We tried a few of the matcha drinks and they were all yummy (strawberry was my favorite). The Khao Soi and Tom Yum noodles were super flavorful, and even though I’m usually picky with chicken, the crispy chicken in the Khao Soi was so good. Also tried Yen Ta Foh for the first time and it was really comforting. The place has a nice, cozy vibe and the service was great. Definitely coming back to try more!

Nalak Thai, which previously housed U-SA Thai in Fairfax, offers authentic, flavorful Thai cuisine in a cozy, clean setting. The restaurant features hanging rattan lampshades with greenery overhead, wooden panels, wall spotlights, green leather chairs, and wooden tables, along with attentive service.
The dishes were tasty. The Pad Thai had a distinct tamarind flavor with a hint of sugarcane sweetness, balanced and not overly sweet. Their signature matcha drinks were delightful with the fruits we chose. The pork skewers were tender and sweet. The steamed dumplings had enough flavor without being too saucy, thanks to a good balance with fish sauce. Laad Na was enjoyable, and the pork belly with Chinese broccoli was good too. However, we felt the portion sizes were small for the price, and overall, it was pricier than similar local options.
We were also charged for an item we didn’t order, which added to our disappointment, given the already high prices. While we appreciated the opening of this new Thai spot with decent food, our experience today makes us unlikely to return.
