Nina's Café Khaoyai

10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a wonderful dining experience at Nina’s. The restaurant is surrounded by lush greenery, giving it a calm and cozy garden atmosphere — perfect for relaxing with friends and family. The food was outstanding with a great mix of flavors: • Crispy pork larb – crunchy, flavorful, and full of herbs. • Crab dip with fresh vegetables – rich, creamy, and paired perfectly with the fresh veggies. • Crab-filled crispy cups – light, crunchy, and deliciously topped with sweet crab meat. • Salted Fish Pork Patties) – savory, aromatic, and very tasty with lime and onion. • Clear fish soup with Plum– refreshing, not too salty, and comforting. • Garlic shrimp stir with garlic – fresh, juicy, and aromatic. • Pumpkin tempura – lightly fried, crispy, and naturally sweet. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and everything tasted freshly prepared with high-quality ingredients. Service was friendly and attentive, making the overall experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Thai food in a charming garden setting. 🌿🍴

Was so impressed with the food here. Everything from the salted egg yolk crusted pumpkin to the squid was delicious and generously portioned. We also love all the cakes and desserts we ordered here. Note, kitchen closes at 19.30 so come early. This place is indoor seating with not a lot in terms of view, but the food is absolute to die for. Highly recommended!

Reservation is required in the peak seasons with 1000thb deposit and preorder the menu. Great taste, nice staff and cozy atmosphere. Pumpkin salt egg is the must. Recommended!

Every dish we tried at Nina Cafe was truly impressive. The seafood was incredibly fresh, especially the squid — perfectly cooked with an excellent texture. The flavors were bold and authentic, with every plate delivering that signature Thai zest. Food also came out fairly quickly. One tip: be sure to reserve and pre-order your preferred menu items a few hours in advance, as everything is made fresh. Also, don’t forget to ask about their seasonal or “secret” menu — they sometimes have special dishes that aren’t listed but are absolutely worth trying. If you're craving real Thai flavors with top-quality ingredients, Nina Cafe is definitely worth a visit when in Khao Yai.

Superb local taste with very fresh ingredients! Also, don't miss their awarded Young Coconut Custard!

All the foods are well prepared with delicious taste. I went on Sunday, booking is recommended as the restaurant is very popular. The owner will ask you to pick the food before you arrive. All the foods are served very fast. The dessert is a bit too sweet.

Nina’s restaurant/cafe offers a unique dining experience, though I’m still unsure if it’s for better or worse. When making a reservation, you’re required to pre-order your food, which can feel as if the restaurant doesn’t put much effort into keeping ingredients in stock. While the pre-ordering process isn’t too inconvenient, what bothered me was that once you’re seated, you can’t order anything more. This can be frustrating, especially for first-time visitors, as it’s hard to gauge portion sizes. Despite my initial skepticism and poor first impression, the food did not disappoint. Every dish was well-seasoned and truly hit the mark, with the fried pumpkin being a standout. Everything we ordered was excellent, and I have no complaints on that front—though I regret not snapping a few photos of the dishes. As for dessert, it was decent overall. I’d definitely recommend the young coconut custard again, but I’d skip the almond and raspberry tart. When sharing multiple desserts, the flavors didn’t complement each other well and some combinations tasted a bit odd. My advice would be to stick with one or two desserts, rather than trying several at once. Also, the service wasn’t great because the restaurant/cafe was quite packed.

You need to book before dine-in and need to pre-order all foods with deposit (we paid 1000THB first and 400THB later after finish our meals) pumpkin salted egg / good taste 4 pieces = 300THB but squid menu 480THB / overcooked other 2 are ok
