Thai Nakorn- Stanton

I heard so many good things about Thai Nakorn but I never made it to their Garden Grove location. But when it closed down, I figured I would just miss out. But then I heard they opened a new location in Stanton. So I made it a point to try it.

I ordered my standard, chicken satay, $8.45. This was just OK. I thought the chicken was rubbery and wasn't that flavorful. Not worth the $8.45 price.

Then I had the shrimp with pepper and garlic, $8.75. This isn't want I expected. The garlic just overpowered the flavor. The shrimp was a bit small but overcooked.

Then my usual, spicy shrimp soup, $15.95. This is the most expensive spicy shrimp soup I've had. There was a lot of good size shrimp and they were soft and tender. But they put too much lemon grass in there. It was just too sour. Expensive and lacking taste, not a good combination.

Service was pretty good. Though they didn't always explain what was in each dish, due to the language barrier.

I wasn't impressed with Thai Nakorn. I heard a lot of hype but give me Ocha any day over this place.

Updated Reviews:

Updated Reviews: I will go back to restaurants that I have already reviewed. At times, I went back to try another item on the menu, and other times, to get the same meal because I loved it so much. Most of the time, a revisit was worth the trip. But, sadly, I've had to report the quality of the food or service has gone downhill since my last visit.

Restaurant Labels:

Moved Restaurants: This means a restaurant has closed down at the listed address in a review, and has moved to another location. If I reviewed the new location, I will post a link on the old location. I will keep this list updated as possible, but, honestly if the restaurants that moved were bad, I'm not going to waste time updating where they moved to.

Closed Restaurants: When a restaurant has the label, Closed, that means the restaurant at the address listed with the review, is now closed. The restaurant may have moved to a new location or changed names.
