Upscale venue offering inventive spins on Thai classics in a chic, contemporary dining room.
"Nittaya Parawong dubs her secret kitchen a Thai tapas restaurant, but that just means that diners should feel free to order a lot of dishes. Try what’s called the "world-famous" spinach salad with crispy tempura spinach leaves mixed with ground chicken and shrimp, topped with a spicy lime dressing, a Saimese corn fritters dish with chicken and pork, or curry puffs filled with potato and curry." - Janna Karel
"Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen moved just around the corner and into the 3,833-square-foot former home of Sushi Wabi at the Pueblo at Summerlin retail center, close to the intersection of Lake Mead and Rampart Boulevards. The menu features Parawong’s family recipes, include garlic basil lamb chops, crying tiger steak, spicy green bean pork, and southern Thai Cornish hen, while the spicy Seafood Madness combines mussels, scallops, shrimp, clams, and chili oil. A range of curries, noodles and fried rice dishes are also available. The must order? Papaya salad with shrimp. Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 9:30 p.m. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Takeout available." - Susan Stapleton
"Summerlin favorite Nittaya's Secret Kitchen is on the move and chef and owner Nittaya Parawong's menu of classics and modern Thai dishes is also still on track for another expansion out of the neighborhood, currently under construction in Centennial." - Bradley Martin
"When going out for dinner, I really like Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen. I like the family-style dining and the pad woon-sen and the basil eggplant are two of my favorites." - Susan Stapleton
"Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen serves Northern Thai specialties such as curry noodles with slow-cooked pork shoulder along with Southern Thai dishes including crispy fried Cornish game hen. Ginger-lemongrass crème brûlée makes for a sweet ending to any meal." - Krista Diamond
