Thai Nakonlanna

Tasty Thai food and split billing makes this place a great choice for groups, and that was how our family found ourselves joining a bunch of church friends for a Sunday lunch in January. They had an off menu special of chicken rice which I thought was a little steep at $19.50, but regretted passing on that when I saw other orders come out - it was a sizeable portion that some struggled to finish / had enough leftovers for another meal. Next time. Went with some basic selections of spring rolls, fried rice, and wifey's standing Thai eatery order of pad Thai. I didn't read the menu carefully enough so didn't realise that the fried rice could be enhanced with optional flavouring (choice of tomyam, samble, pineapple & curry powder, green curry, basil and shrimp paste). Having it "plain" is still good, but I'll make sure to try one of the flavour options in future - a pair of more seasoned customers beside us went with the shrimp paste option which wifey confirmed was different to ours. Wouldn't particularly get the spring rolls again, which I felt was the weakest link in the meal. But they mostly served to help encourage the boy to eat the rest of his meal so there was a strategy behind their inclusion. Our order: * no.2 vegetarian spring roll (menu said 4pc but we received 6), $7.50 * no.25 fried rice with beef, $14 - cooked with shallot and onion, top with cucumber and lime * no.28 pad thai noodle with chicken, $14 - thin rice noodle fried with dried shrimp, tofu, bean sprouts, garlic chive, ground peanuts with a secret tamarind sauce We were also quite impressed that the waiter (owner?) took our whole group's order without writing anything down - don't see that sort of memory much!

Always ask for special of the day and that’s when you get the best surprise. Chicken was specially cooked for the dinner and pak siew mew was cooked just right . If you ever ordering Tom yum in this cold winter, don’t forget to ask the boss to add coconut cream- brings out the Flavor The chilli that comes with the chicken is just out of this world….( in the picture ). Ask for it if you love fresh made chiili sauce

I am making an ammendment to my previous review. This place has always been my favourite restaurant at Brisbane. But one day the food was not as good as i expected. I made a complaint and the owner offered me a voucher. The nexr day I ordered here again and the food was really awesome. I got the taste back in all the curries. I am really glad that they value customer's opinion highly. Very happy that my dearest restaurant has not changed. Thank you.
