Inventive Thai tapas, signature spinach salad, and unique entrees
"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
"Known as an 11-year-old Summerlin fixture, Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen recently moved into its own upgraded space and serves as the predecessor to Nittaya’s Little Kitchen." - Bradley Martin
"Having moved just around the corner into a larger 3,833-square-foot space in the former home of Sushi Wabi at the Pueblo at Summerlin retail center near the intersection of Lake Mead and Rampart Boulevards, this Summerlin favorite from chef-owner Nittaya Parawong offers a menu of classic and modern Thai dishes built on her family recipes, including garlic basil lamb chops, crying tiger steak, spicy green bean pork, and southern Thai Cornish hen. The spicy Seafood Madness combines mussels, scallops, shrimp, clams, and chili oil, and a range of curries from massaman to panang are available with proteins such as duck, catfish, shrimp, and grilled skirt steak in a green curry. Vegetarian options include spicy basil tofu and eggplant with fresh basil, tapas range from curry puffs and fried tofu to charred shishito peppers and golden pouches stuffed with potatoes, egg pastry, and curry sauce, and noodle and fried rice dishes round out the menu; the must-order is the papaya salad with shrimp. It is open Monday–Saturday 11 a.m.–10 p.m. and Sunday noon–9:30 p.m., with lunch served weekdays 11 a.m.–3 p.m., and takeout is 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
"Chef and owner Nittaya Parawong continues to serve her Thai dishes from this long-running Summerlin fixture, offering curbside pickup and delivery while remaining confident and active in planning future projects." - Bradley Martin
