Na Na Thai

We had a wonderful time! Snag a table and enter a not so chick Bangkok escape. With pops of vibrant Thai art, you can rock a dress or nice jeans. The menu is beautiful with all you can expect of regional Thai specialities. The food was perfect and super friendly staff without being intrusive. You won’t want to miss out on this place.

A great brigade here making sure it’s happy times! Tasty, original Thai with some creativity and proper sourcing. Wines and beverages are selected to combine well together. This surely works well with a queue at the door weekdays, so book ahead

Thai may be my favorite food. Especially traditional dishes like larb and papaya salad. I appreciate the authenticity they bring to these dishes etc. dried shrimp and spice level. However, spice levels were not adjustable and I almost died eating the papaya salad. It was also texturely strange as it was “chopped” and not peeled. Super cute bright atmosphere and the service was excellent!

The food here had a unique twist to Thai food. We had fresh summer rolls, and I dare say they are one of the better rolls I have had. They were colorful, had mint background, and the peanut sauce complimented it. Pad thai was one of the most unique versions I have come across, and it was moist, creamy, and hit my palette with tamarind and light spice. Recommend this dish. Also, order the eggplant with was well spiced, not too spicey, and melted as I ate it. The pork soup was well flavored, and my mother loved it! The host and waitress were too notch. Thai tea was uniquely flavor leaving me wanting it daily

Seriously, this place needs to do better. We ordered the chicken coconut soup ($26) - the vegetables are mostly raw, chicken is gross - like the leftover pieces of chicken from the carcass (complete with gristle and veins 🤮). Husband had the Pad Siu Uuu ($26) but it had like four pieces of chicken in it like jerky (skinny little ribbons). And we got one spring roll that was mediocre (for $9!! For ONE). This is the third time we have been here as we keep hoping it will get better but after another disappointing meal for more than $75 (inc tax and tip). We won’t be back unless major changes happen.

I had high hopes for the Thai omakase experience, but unfortunately, it fell short. The restaurant had previously received poor ratings on Yelp before it began offering omakase, and my experience confirmed why. The food felt like standard restaurant fare, just arranged to look fancy with smaller portions. One of the main attractions of omakase is having dishes prepared fresh in front of you, but many Thai dishes cannot be made quickly on-site. Obviously most food was prepared before hand and in bulk. There is no justification for the frustratingly long gaps between courses—over 20 minutes at times. Most of the dishes didn’t justify the wait, and the fruit salad was particularly disappointing for the portion size.

I visited this restaurant for their omakase experience on a Friday night, and it was a lesson in patience. The portions were disappointingly tiny, and the food took forever to arrive. To top it off, we were charged extra, which we unfortunately missed at the time. When we tried to address it, the staff was mysteriously unresponsive. If you’re considering this place, make sure you’re not just paying for the privilege of being ignored. Double-check your bill to avoid paying extra for no reason.

OMG! You must eat here! Not only is the food amazing but the service rocks! The highlight of our trip from Florida was lunch at this place! I am so sad I can't go here every day and highly recommend that you do. Looking for some food and wine pairings? Ashley's got you covered! Quaint, good food, good service, great wine and a price tag well below the worth. I can't wait to head west again and make a stop here for the best Thai food I have ever eaten!

I can't tell you how many times I've taken a bite of food here and practically melted in my seat from feelings of happiness. Na Na Thai is special for so many reasons, from the food to the service. Ashley is so nice and always makes folks feel welcome, and the rest of the staff is always A+. I love the ambiance too, as they play good music, have nice decor, and even the bathrooms are super clean and cozy. I would post all the pictures of the food I've taken from here if I could fit it all, but I have like 80 photos If I had my way, I would eat here for every single one of my birthdays. That's how special this place is. Nothing but love for Na Na Thai!

I have come to this place twice and really love it. The atmosphere is beautiful and the dishes are so special. The first time I went in I tried a dish my mom nor I cared much for, the owner came over and was very attentive and explained the flavor profiles which we just weren't familiar with. We didn't ask for a substitute dish but she wanted us to try something else so brought us out another to try something she thought we would like. Great customer service! The banana dessert is fantastic and a must have. The crispy rice salad was also amazing. I went last week on my lunch break with a group of friends and we all are still talking about it. The dipping sauce on the lumpia is a flavor bomb of goodness. I cannot wait to be back!

I cannot recommend this place. The food is bland and wildly over priced. And the portions are very small. We had Pad Si Uu and it was drenched in oil and the noodles were stale and broken. An inedible dish. We also got the fresh spring rolls which turns out an order is ONE roll. Also bland and tasteless. A small plate of noodles and one fresh roll for $35. The restaurant doesnt allow calling ahead for orders and you cannot change anything on the menu. Cant add or take away anything on a dish. Its also extremely loud inside. I have had amazing thai food across the country and around the world and this is worse than the bottom end. There is very little authentic about this place other than the interior design end even that... Do not waste your money and time. Find a Mom and Pop thai place elsewhere.

Our second time here with Nana Thai, we don't mind driving 50mins to get here. Thai food tasted pretty authentic to us. Customer service always above and beyond. Always love their music playlist and the ambiance here so romantic with dim lights. I would say this is the best thai spot through out the central coast so far. I wish they have more dishes on the menu cuz everything tasted amazing!

Great food every time we go! The atmosphere is casual, but still intimate for perfect date night. Even a place where kids can go. Very good wine selection.

Service: No complaints. Very attentive waitress. Food came out rather timely. Food: We ordered the garlic chicken wings. A bit dry. The dipping sauce was way too salty. We tried the Lumpia. Way different than I'm use to. Not my favorite. I ended up throwing them out, sorry to say. Lastly, we ordered a pork, basil dish. Overkill with the basil, but I enjoyed the dish. I give that dish a 4.5/5! Yummy. Definitely expensive. $15 for a glass of wine. Would I recommend? I wouldn't say, Highly recommend. It's mediocre. Def not 100% authentic, as I've been to Thailand.

It's not cheap but I enjoyed the food... especially the larb and the red curry! Great service was a nice touch!

Still dreaming about the papaya salad!! Loved their flavors and that they're unapologetic about both fish sauce and spice. Their flavors are authentic to Bangkok street food and with some seasonal runs like khao soi pizza and the infamous Bangkok street pizza which was mind blowing THE GAI TOD, was perfectly crisp on the outside with the punch from the fish sauce glaze (!!!) and the nam jim jeaw was the perfect meal appetizer. That was the point I knew they were not playing and I was so excited for the rest of the meal PAPAYA SALAD, made my foodie heart smile and I will forever dream about getting this again and again. The papaya was fresh, soft perfectly marinated. I saw the mortar and pestle while they were prepping it and it really took me back to walking around bangkok with papaya salad in a plastic bag while exploring the city. The heat was lovely and the whole dish was a lovely medley of Asian flavors! I wish I lived closer for sure Service was amazing, Ashley went around the room to say hi. It was a busy night, she didn't have to stay to small talk but she did. We talked about the inspiration of their food (particularly the Bangkok pizza special) and different Kebab spots I'm already dreaming of coming back!

This place was recommended by multiple people while wine tasting. Maybe I am spoiled my Thai restaurants in Los Angeles. Not impressed. Over priced ,no flavor. The som tum papaya was barely sliced too many dried shrimp which is clearly there thing because the pad Thai had too many dried shrimp as well. Not enough tamarind and bland. Glad I was in a hotel that had a restaurant thai I could get room service.

My mom and I were in the mood to eat out and remembered hearing about Na Na Thai recently opening in Buellton. We came on a Monday evening and asked for a table for three since my boyfriend was gonna meet us up as well. My mom and I sat down and ordered one Nam Manao (lime soda) to drink. It came out pretty quick and was really tart and delicious! Since we knew my boyfriend was about ten minutes out we ordered a Por Pia to start. The waiter was a bit insistent on submitting our entire order at once but I'm not sure if she realized we were waiting on someone. He arrived about ten minutes later and the Por Pia arrived right after. We had thought there would be two spring rolls and were a little surprised when it was just one. Nonetheless with the peanut sauce, it was really good! A few minutes had gone by without our waiter stopping by the table and eventually a different waiter noticed us so she ended up taking our order for the rest of the night. My boyfriend got the cashew chicken with a side of fried rice, my mom got the pad thai, and I got the pad sii uuu. Probably because the kitchen was busy but the food arrived in a bit of an odd order. First it was the cashew chicken, then the pad thai, then a long pause before the fried rice, and finally the pad sii uuu. Everything was very delicious! A lot of flavor and cooked exactly how we all liked it. The cashew chicken had some peppers in it that were nice and spicy -- be warned! But it also had a sweetness to it. The pad thai included some crushed chili on the side that added some nice spice once stirred in. Sometimes my mom and I can be picky about our pad thai but we agreed it was really good. The pad sii uuu was very yummy and was balanced with the greens. For dessert, we ordered the banana fritters. It came promptly and was so good! It was a balance of the opposites: hot and cold, sweet and salty. Overall, the food was truly excellent. However, it is pricey and will probably be reserved for special occasions. We didn't know the side of fried rice would actually be registered as a whole dish and were surprised when we saw the bill. Also, the first waiter was the one to bring us our check so when we were calculating tip, it was a bit unclear if essentially we were tipping the first waiter (who ultimately didn't take the order for any of the food besides the Por Pia) or the second waiter. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my experience and would come again.

Super knowledgeable staff with a limited menu; however, the quality of the food is excellent. I haven't seen Gulf of Mexico shrimp at any other Thai places. The seasoned egg in Pad Thai is cooked separately and very tasty. The only negative point is rice, which is not set long enough after cooked, resulting in dry and crisp rice instead of a moist one. Great job!

Buellton has needed Thai food, so I had really high hopes for Na Na Thai. Locals have been talking about it and finally I got to try it tonight! By some lucky fate we walked up and were second in line with a table having just opened up to sit at. They have decorated the inside of this space so perfectly- lots of fun colors and fitting decor. I don't really care for the fact that you have to order before you sit down, as I wanted to closely review the menu, but felt rushed because there was a long line behind me. The line literally didn't stop the whole night. They were jammed. Tables were filled as quickly as people were leaving. We opted for the fried chicken appetizer to start, which was incredible. The hostess recommended it and it was delicious. The chili sauce is super flavorful. We stuck to creature comfort and ordered Pad Si UUU for one entree and Khao Soi (Northern Thai Curry) for our second entree. Both were insanely delicious. I did ask for more hot sauce and the waitress brought us two separate options. Both were great. Khao Soi is one of my favorite Thai foods and though this was made with pork, which I hadn't encountered before, it was so good. Honestly, the entire meal was amazing. I'm so happy we have Thai food in Buellton and really hope this place continues to do well! The service was excellent and we left stuffed- so much food!

I'd order takeout on a weekly basis if spice levels could be adjusted and basic substitutions could be made. But: if you're a huge baby about spice, which I am, there's really nothing on the menu that will work for you. And if you don't eat meat: same. Too bad, because there's a lot of good cooking happening here--just not with any concern for allergies, diets, or sensitivities.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been to! The food here is delicious with an array of evolving specials that never disappoint. I've been here a few times now and I love seeing the changes every time! The food can be spicy which I love and the selection of wines are also great. My go to every time however is an ice cold Leo beer, you can never go wrong! A must try for either lunch or dinner. It can get busy but it's worth the wait! Staff is always attentive. A family feel where they go above and beyond to ensure you are having a great time. The ambiance is also lovely.

I enjoyed the bright welcoming atmosphere. We were seated quickly. We arrived at 4:45pm so not a rush time. Our hostess was friendly and the menu had lots of delicious looking items and they had an intriguing wine list. We had the fresh tofu roll which came out quickly and was pretty good with the peanut sauce. The Gai Tod was out next and it is hard not to enjoy a fried chicken. Pad SII Uuu is one of my favorite Thai dishes and this one was pretty solid. I would have preferred it a bit more caramelized with wok hei but stilll devoured the whole dish. The crispy rice salad was also tasty. The Tom Kha Gai was a bit sweet for my taste. I would have enjoyed more lime and if lemongrass in that dish. We'd definitely recommend this restaurant and are glad to see the restaurant its post pop up from.

It has very small portions. Got the red curry in a cereal bowl. The rice was 1/2 cup. Had to order more rice for $7. The curry was thick and too salty. Need more liquid. I've been to better Thai food places that has larger portions and cheaper prices. Too expensive. spring roll is tiny and just about 4 inches long.

Recently went for their 2nd Omakase and it was mine and my husband's first time dining there. Every. Single. Course. Was amazing. Visually stunning and delicious as well. We couldn't pick a favorite course because they all were so great. The service was impeccable. The servers and front of the house were constantly checking on all the tables and ensuring everyone was enjoying themselves and their food. The vibe was casual with a little bit of hipster flair and the music was great. Overall, we will be back again and can't wait for the next omakase!!

honestly, one of the best Thai spots we've ever been to. Clearly, the Chef owner has an extensive background, not only in culinary talent, but in worldly technique and flavor combinations. We were visiting from socal at flying flags and it's a three minute drive to Michelin level quality food. A must if you are visiting or traveling through Buellton.

Flavor flavor flavor. If you can't stand anything but ketchup on your food and don't eat dishes with more than three ingredients, Na Na Thai is not for you. Chef Nik Ramirez pushes the envelope of Thai cuisine here with aggressive flavor explosions in every bite of food. Even the housemade sauces are jam-packed with umami and heat finished with acidity that will have you coming back for a second bite. I can see how these type of flavors would not sit well with people expecting their soggy ketchup Pad Thai noodles and receiving spices they've probably never tasted before in their life. This place is for people who live to eat and strive to find new experiences for their mouth to satisfy that itch. Na Na Thai is a foodie's paradise and earned every single one of my five star review.

The food is 5/5 Thai food- superb sauces and presentation, with a strong menu. However they have a 0 substitution policy- and honestly- in an age where we should be aware of allergies and sensitivities- is an obsolete idea. I believe theres two arguments for having a 0 substitution policy: 1) the food is all pre- prepared 2) the meal as listed is the "authentic version" and it is rude or immature to ask them to change it. In response to (1) We had the tom kha gai curry/soup It was gas btw. But i asked if it could be made not spicy- i was refused "we have a 0 substitution policy" This specific meals came with spicy oil drizzled over the top- this little step could have been skipped. I love spice I am a sadist- this dish was not spicy for me. But my girlfriend couldn't have it at all- wouldn't have been a difficult change- the step just could've been skipped In response to (2) actually get over yourself My sister in law is allergic to peanuts- she got the spring rolls- which come with a peanut sauce. She wanted a different sauce because she is allergic. They refused insisting it was on the side. It was touching one so she couldn't eat them all. Also they have a bunch of bomb sauces- throughout everything we ordered I tried 4 different sauces- sooo good. They could've easily subbed in any other sauce that didnt have peanuts for her. All in all their food is great. But a 0 subs policy is outdated and selfish and very exclusive to people with allergies. The fried chicken is sooo good (spicy peanut sauce) 6/5 The moo dad dang was a little dry but its sauce was very good 4/5 The por pia was 5/5 very good - since we got the sweet chili sauce with the pork- my sister in law had it with that sauce- other than the one contaminated with peanut piece. Definitely some of the best Thai within 100 miles Hope they change their sub policy.

After having visited twice in March, I can say that Na Na has some of the best, most authentic Thai flavors I've had in the States! My husband and I have traveled to Thailand multiple times, and Na Na's yellow curry legit feels like I'm sitting streetside in Bangkok, having the best curry (with even the same cutlery)! There was a rice special topped with pork belly and - no joke - it was the best pork belly I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about it. So freakin' delicious, both owners are lovely, and I'm praying they eventually open a spot in SB so I can get my Thai food fix on a more regular basis.

Ordered Gad Tod, pad Thai, papaya salad, and Kaya toast dessert. Everything was delicious. The papaya salad definitely had some spice to it. Prices seem a little high especially for the pad Thai. However not high enough to deter me from coming again to try other dishes.

This place is a hidden gem that should be known by all! The service is outstanding, and the food is hands down some of the best food in Buellton. The atmosphere is fun and casual. I highly recommend putting Na Na Thai on your bucket list, if visiting the area!

Food: Disappointing. Crudely prepared and small portions. Papaya salad was particularly poor in preparation and presentation. Pad see euw has little flavor and lacked traditional ingredients. Larb was soupy and lacked complexity in its flavor. Price: expensive even for those who are used to paying a premium for restaurant food. Service: very friendly. Everyone here was pleasant. Ambience: modern and clean Overall: I would not return to spend so much on so disappointing a meal. Skip this place.

Best restaurant in the Solvang area! When visiting my local family we make sure to eat at Na Na Thai at least twice per visit. The food is delicious, service is wonderful, and the ambience makes the whole experience so much fun.

Great food great service! Found this place by chance and I think I am going to definitely bookmark it ! Excellent food, taste, and quality . The small plate, shrimp and coconut soup were amazing.

Visiting Solvang scarecrows we were hungry before heading back to Santa Barbara. So glad we found NA NA Thai in Buellton. Tucked in a strip mall but easy to find right off the 246 on McMurray Road. Great decor and welcoming staff. Everyone was very helpful and attentive. We had not been here before so they happily explained the menu options for us. Ordering at the podium is a little awkward before you are seated because you are right in the doorway; but they happily gave me a menu when I asked and we sat outside to look over menu and decided. All food and sauces are made in house and you can really taste the fresh ingredients. We shared a spring roll with peanut sauce, papaya salad and pad Thai shrimp entree. Food arrives when done in kitchen and everything arrived beautifully plated and ready to share. If you like Thai this is a must visit. Everything was delicious, full of flavor and just enough spice. Note: the papaya salad is quite spicy but they do warn you of the spice level. There was plenty of food to fill us up and we even took a little home. We will be back to try the Tom Yum Gung as I saw several portions of this dish being served and yes it appeared delicious.

Arrived on xmas eve was seated fairly promptly for a party of 3. The skewers were delectable! Only issue was the staggered presentation of each of our entrees. By the time i received my noodle soup my two other dinner partners were done with their main course. I will chalk it up to the kitchen being slammed with orders as the place was packed! The service was hands down professional and friendly. The waitress accomodated our requests. Definitely on point with making sure our water glasses were maintained full and the champagne never took too long to get another round!

I almost hesitated to admit that this food makes me swoon, but others are admitting that it gives them pure happiness as well. I have tried most dishes and each is utterly delicious and always surprises me with its unique combination of ingredients, flavors and textures. The Chicken, Coconut & Mushroom Salad, the Fish Salad, and Crispy Rice Salad are new favorites to have along with my curries & noodle dishes. I get take-out & always order enough to enjoy over several days! Nik, Ashley & staff make you feel welcome and you will be happy here.

Horrible place to eat. The owner is very rude. I would never eat here again.. The wait staff were very nice, the food was ok, but the owner is mean. She slams food on the table, and won't admit she's wrong. She takes away food before finished and argues about it. Very dark inside as well. I would not recommend this place.

Super greasy food and very spicy. I'm surprised that they couldn't customize the spice level nor any other simple options of adding Toffu, Brown rice instead of white rice. It was pretty expensive when compared to portion sizes and ambiance. Did not have a great service too, would certainly give it a skip when I visit the neighborhood. My experience certainly contradicts the ratings this restaurant has received on Yelp.

Service and ambiance was great! My friends that eat meat were very happy with the food. But I was super bummed as they have NOTHING for vegans or vegetarians except white rice and spring rolls. Sadly I left hungry. Other Thai restaurants have been able to leave the meat off or the fish sauce out but they would not.

Went it for a to go order and was served cold khao soi. I took a couple of bites of it after heating it up and became sick. I paid almost $30 for some cold curry that they didn't even bother to heat up. Unbelievable. I don't understand the hype around this place. Avoid at all costs. I will never be back!

Hands down the best Thai food I've had! I've tried almost all their dishes and everything has been insanely flavorful! The Thai Tea is amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant. Also the staff and owners are great! The ambiance is such a vibe! So glad we have Na Na Thai!

Grumpy gatekeeper. She seemed to put more effort into us not eating there than giving it a shot. Odd approach.

First time at NaNa since they moved from their pop up spot. Interesting setup; you order at the front and then sit down. Nice wine menu (all grüner or Riesling options from Austria and Germany) but not a ton of local wines. Fried chicken was amazing, Thai iced tea was the best I've ever had. I will not recommend the Pad Sii Uu was very bland, almost no flavor at all - extremely disappointing. Cashew chicken was flavorful, but a tad too much starch in the sauce. Overall a nice experience, just not our favorite dishes. Will be back to try other menu items, however I wouldn't reorder these. Price points were a tad high ($100 for two glasses of wine, 2 entrees, one app and a tea). Glad you're here! Just need more flavor!

Incredible and authentic flavors. Don't expect fast service because perfection takes time.

Ridiculously overpriced priced, no joke!! Ordered egg rolls for $7 thinking there'd be at least three pieces, but I was wrong, there was only one eggroll and cut in half, unbelievable! I know we won't be coming back for sure!

Way overpriced. Don't know where all the good reviews are coming from. They even charge you extra packing charges for "to go orders"!

The food tastes great, and the employees are attentive and friendly. It's just a little awkward, though, and there is a poor value for what you receive. The photo is for one of the "small" plates, the tofu spring roll. As you can see, it's absurdly tiny with only 1 small roll. People are coming here to eat, so be generous and feed them. Small plates should be shareable. Even with the greens on the side, this was not even worth $7. It seemed more like an egg roll and burned my tongue. The noodle dishes are all in the mid $20s when they're typically at least half that at other Thai restaurants. $26 for Pad Thai during lunch? I've never seen pricing anywhere close to that high, even in LA. I worry about their ability to establish regulars with pricing like that. Ordering is awkward, because you order with the hostess so you can't sit, relax and take your time with the menu. You have to stand around up by the front and can feel rushed. The flavors were great, and the restaurant was clean. I may go back for carryout when I feel like splurging or don't want to head to Lompoc for Thai food.

We ordered the papaya salad, fried chicken, sticky rice, larb moo (which was my probably my favorite), khao soi, and bookended the meal with a refreshing bowl of coffee infused coconut ice cream. Everything we tried was delicious, the dishes were flavorful, spicy and authentic, and the food transports you to the colorful & lively streets of Bangkok street food cuisine. Note, if you're looking for your mild flavored westernized pad thai dish, this ain't it. We will definitely be back again soon to try the fried fish and other seafood dishes.

So so good! Food is on point. The pork skewers, lumpia and fried chicken small plates were delicious. The Pad Thai and Pad See Ew had abundant portions, were flavorful and tasty. Service was really quick, absolutely pleasant and recognized us as locals. Had drink refills immediately without needing to ask. Music was a little bit loud during dinner tonight, but it's still a great experience! Get over there as soon as you can!

Menu prices like a classy Thai restaurant, but definitely not, whole fish $72, Pad Thai $28. Unable to accommodate "any protein changes"-- we wanted shrimp in Tom Ka soup instead of chicken-- no can do.. All food was overly spicy, hiding poor quality ingredients with too-hot heat. Waitress inadvertently warned us that service would be slow by saying it comes out in stages so perhaps would prefer appetizers. Plastic plates, cups. First of two soup requests arrived at table after 20 minutes. One spoonful and recognized as inedible. Waitress disappeared for 30 minutes during our 6pm visit. Surprisingly crowded with fast-food local families. It's a shame limited choices in Buellton. Industrial Eats is one reliably good choice here. This is our first and last visit to Na Na Thai. Terrible in every way.

Upscale, exquisitely flavored Thai food. Such a richness of textures, flavors. Service amazing and laid back vibe but so attentive. Cute decor and great music. This is not gonna be a cheap meal but it's worth every penny if you want incredibly tasty and high-quality Thai food.

Great Thai food if you're in the area. It's a must if you like Thai Food. Great vibes and great service!!! 5 Stars

This place is amazing! The food is truly authentic and the wine list is top notch. The papaya salad is the best in the game and the rest of the menu is truly fantastic.

Interesting way to order but don't pay. The papayas salad Was on point spicy and chewy with the shrimp. I would request they hold the shrimp in the future. The spring rolls are amazing the best spring rolls I've had in a long time I like the noodles. The vermicelli was chewing. The rice paper was not dry. It was the perfect texture with the citrus sauce and peanut dressing. Tell me a YUM! .

Insanely overpriced with ridiculously small portions. Long wait time. Had to leave a review because of how terrible it is.

Two thumbs up for the best new restaurant in Solvang. We got pretty much the whole menu and everything had its own personality and flavors that complement each other. My favorite is the lumpia and curry but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Big complements to the chef, and owners who have amazing customer service and great energy. Ambiance and servers were on point. Will be back 1000%. By the way the Thai tea is GREAT!
