Nok's Kitchen on Stockbridge

A great Thai restaurant in the heart of Stockbridge 🍜. The service is fast and friendly, and the menu offers a wide range of authentic dishes with excellent flavor and presentation. They also have a very good lunch menu at a fair price. An interesting option for those who enjoy Thai cuisine — a visit that won’t disappoint. 🌿✨

Had a great lunch here at only £13.95 for two courses. Started with Toy Yum soup followed by crispy duck. We also had a bottle of Merlot red wine all very nice. Service was very good with them checking how our meal was. The restaurant was very nice giving of a good atmosphere. Will return again.

Great service, super attentive and friendly. Yummy food, decent portions and very good price. Very happy all and all. Would look to go back for sure! Only small thing is that Pad Thai was on the sweeter side, but totally understand it is done differently from place to place.

We were a large group of eight people including two children. The food was delicious and hot. We had the chicken skewers and vegetable rolls. My husband and I had the duck curry and chicken pad thaï. The curry was creamy and savory. As for the pad thaï, it was delicious and slightly different than some of the ones found in North America. The taste was more authentic, not as sweet. My daughter had the dumplings (starter) as a main course. There was also a kid's menu, but it was fried chicken fingers and rice. My friends had the vegetable Pad thaï, the grilled chicken curry and the prawn dish (forgot the name). The portion was a good size. Perhaps we were hungry, but there was no food on the plate!

This little restaurant is a must-try if visiting Edinburgh. It was recommended to us and I am so glad that we took the time to visit. The food was exceptional. We visited at lunchtime (the only time we could manage) and enjoyed the two course set menu, which was worth every penny and more. I enjoyed the Yum Kai Yang to start followed by the Roasted Duck Mango Chutney…it was well presented and the flavours were phenomenal! The service equalled the food: attentive and friendly staff took our coats and appeared as if by magic to top up water whenever my glass was getting low. The restaurant is a 10 minute walk from Prince’s Street, which is nothing considering the quality of food and service that you’ll get when you arrive…I’ll be coming up with any excuse I can to visit Edinburgh in future to allow me to visit this restaurant again.

Absolutely fantastic! Really really good value for money. Staff are incredibly lovely and friendly. We had the duck curry and seabass curry for the main, and for the starter it was the soup and dumplings. Phenomenal! Absolutely delicious (especially the soup and seabass curry) and really really filling. Portion sizes were excellent! Big bonus was the allergy information. There are plenty of gluten free options available

Great Asian cuisine. Lovely tastes meals are well cooked and served well presented. A little expensive but quality food. Sea food felt and tasted fresh, Some starter looked as good as they tasted lovely presentation and some interesting flavours.

The food was amazingly delicious and well-portioned. I got the £13.95 2-course lunch menu consisting of a chicken tom yum soup and the railway chicken fried rice. The tom yum soup has a spicy kick to it yet was perfectly sour. The fried rice was so fragrant and yummy. The service was great too and wait time was less than 10 minutes for my food. Will definitely be back when I’m in Edinburgh again!

Nok's was good. It's so small so they couldn't fit us in for table. We landed on take away and got green curry, pad thai and chicken satay. Good spice level, packaged well for take away and really good flavors.

Unfortunately, they couldn't accommodate us due to the fact they were busy. Additionally, we didn't have a reservation. The restaurant was very cute and the hostess was friendly. Given the crowd, I assume it's a great place to dine. The food looked very authentic from what we could see.

We happened to be staying near the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and wanted some good Asian food. NOK did not disappoint. Service was wonderful and the ladies were so attentive. Food was delectable! Wish I had this restaurant back home!

On my first visit here, we blindly walked in hoping for a table but they were completely full. After being turned away, we came back a week later with reservations. Make sure you make reservations, which get filled up quick as well. And let me start by telling you that the reservations to eat here is damn worth it! Upon entering, the space is quite limited with seating, but decorated very classy and nice. It has a bit of an old school charm about it. As soon as we were seated, our glasses were filled with water. Might I add, they were amazing at refilling our water throughout dinner. Between the two of us, we shared the Beauty Crab (£6.95) to start. I was immediately drawn to this appetizer from the presentation from photos. The best part is that not only was the crab stuffed curry in a crispy roll beautifully done, it was even more delicious! The three savory cones also had a nice kick of spice, crunch, and flavor making an amazing combination. We also shared two entrees: Chicken Panang Curry (£10.95) with Jasmine Rice (£2.95) and King Prawn Pad Thai (£11.95). If you made me decide which one I liked more, I truly couldn't even pick. Both dishes were divine and truly authentic to Thai cuisine. I have to say that the Pad Thai is an absolute must here for the exquisite presentation from the banana leaves to the flower-shaped carrots. This is the level of quality you find at Chinese weddings from the way they handcrafted the edible decors on each plate. Definitely one of my favorites in Edinburgh. While it's a tad pricier than other Thai spots in the area, the quality and craftsmanship of the food makes this place worthwhile.

One of the best Thai restaurants in a very touristy area! Loved it! Pad Se Ew very good with prawns.

Reservations are KEY for eating anywhere in Edinburgh! We got very lucky and arrived right at opening and were able to stay without feeling rushed, which was much appreciated. Our meal was really good-- we had the chicken satay to begin, and finished with green curry and thai basil. Both dishes were excellent. I personally wish they were spicier, but it's all down to personal preference. The restaurant is small but beautifully decorated. We dressed up just a little (snappy casual) and didn't feel out of place. The food was a bit more on the expensive side for Thai and what we're used to, but hey, can't complain when it tastes good!

We had been sampling Thai food throughout the UK. Nok's Kitchen was solid - not a blow you away experience. We started with the crab curry "cones" and chicken roll. Chicken roll was dry - needed a bit of sauce. Crab "cones" were probably the best dish of the meal with seafood flavor backed by a nice curry flavor. For mains we split the panang curry (red) and soft shell crab curry (yellow). Both were solid - panang maybe a bit too much coconut milk mellowed out the flavor. Both didn't have a ton of depth and for 3 pounds would expect more rice because one wasn't enough to split. Good serve and overall experience!

We stopped in here after walking all around the city all day, and as our first day in Edinburgh had no idea you had to have reservations before you could think about eating dinner anywhere. They said if we ate within the hour we could stay, SOLD! Such tasty food, small place, friendly staff. We had pad thai and a curry. It was so good, especially after our long day out, really hit the spot. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Stockbridge- but make a reservation!

Really great Thai food and service. We walked in and they seated us even though their reservations kept them full up. Loved the Panay Currie, Cashew chicken and the Mossamon Currie.

Arrived to a yummy late lunch of noodles and chicken in a spicy broth with a side of spring rolls and chai. Great pick me up after long walking day. Prices and service great! Love the stylish feel to this small jewel.

It was late at night and they were super crowded, so we ordered takeaway. The food was absolutely delicious! I will definitely eat here on my next trip to Edinburgh.

The best Thai food I think I have ever eaten. This cozy, busy place is worth making a reservation.

Prawn phad thai, contained 4 prawns, too few for the amount of noodles, and was very greasy. Peanut topping very chunky and sparse. Overall, not impressed at all. Veg spring rolls, small, bland with store grade chilli dipping sauce. Chilli chicken was very battered and greasy also. Overall a fail. Will not be back.

If there was ever a reason to go back to Edinburgh, aside from the obvious fact that it's absolutely gorgeous there, it would be hands down to eat at Nok's again. One of the best Tom Kha (coconut soup) and Tom Yum (hot & sour soup) I've ever had in my short life. It's unfortunate that I didn't get to try more, but on a cold windy and rainy night, those soups saved my life... I'm still craving/thinking about it three weeks later! FYI - make a reservation, no matter the party size. The restaurant is average size but it gets packed really quick and there isn't exactly a waiting area.

Awesome Thai food! Had the pad Thai and cashew chicken. Both were very good and the service was good too!

Delicious food , presented beautifully. Great price and service. I recommend this restaurant to everyone .
