Thai Naka Restaurant : Authentic Thai Foods located at 173 Ashton Plaza Street, Millbrook, AL 36054
My Thai wife and I were passing through Prattville and had a great lunch at Thai Naka, name change. The tom som soup was a large serving and aroy or delicious. Pad gra pow moo was spot on and the side condiment of prik nam pla was excellent.The owner Nat was nice and talked to us awhile and made us feel at home in his restaurant.
Tucked back in the end of a strip shopping center. All Thai staff . Will recommend and stop in again when in town. Large servings, needed a box to go!
Surprisingly good! I was driving through the area on the way home from Huntsville and picked up dinner. Food was hot and fresh and spice level was nice, albeit a tiny bit mild. Dumplings were really tasty, as were our curries. Extensive menu
Food: The food was good. I feel like there could be more flavor in the food, but it is still enjoyable overall.
Service: Nice staff, nothing I can complain about.
Atmosphere: Very quiet, but comfortable and peaceful space.
Overall, I enjoy coming here and would recommend for lunch time!
The food was amazing and customer service was excellent. I got a spicy tuna roll topped with mango. And mango sticky rice. 😍😍😍
Also got fried calamari and it was perfect no picture of it because we ate it so quickly and for got to take a picture. I will definitely be returning.
Incredible food and many options on the menu can be made gluten free if you ask. My wife and I have been eating gluten free meals from here for over a year with no issues.
I had the pineapple fried rice. It was delicious! My wife had the ginger stir fry and said it was wonderful. We shared an order of spring rolls, which were crispy and tasty. They were served with a clear, sweet and sour sauce. A great start to our excellent meal! We will definitely be back!
Very nice waitstaff 🙂

Formerly Ban Thai, name changed, menu changed, and the food has changed also, and not for the better, at least not for what we ordered. It was takeout and both my wife and I had to throw out our meals, they were genuinely horrible.
Food and service is always great!

Bland Thai food. Sorry but it’s not good. Disappointing.

Soooo delicious, great service! And very much worth the 5 minute detour off I65. We wanted to get some Thai food on our travels northbound and found it on Google maps. We enjoyed the Panang curry and Kee Mao. We will make this a designated stop on our way north-south from now on.
Very authentic. Do yourself a favor and spare room for the Thai donuts! If you find a more tasty desert on this planet please reply! #crickets
Food was excellent and exceptionally flavorful, service was fast and efficient and everything was hot and fresh! 5 stars
I only ordered mango sticky rice which I have eaten several times from a Thai restaurant in Georgia. The ambiance is soothing and makes you want to sit and relax. Customer service is not lacking. I was pleasantly greeted. I ordered Mango Sticky Rice.
The rice was very stuck together and needed more water. If you cooked rice, stored it in a plastic rectangular pouch in freezer, then when ordered, OVERHEATED the pouch (by mistake or carelessness of course) placed half a sliced mango that is sooo not ripe & very hard on top with a small cup of coconut milk on the side, then served to customer, this is what I received.
Such a disappointment. 😒 Very first visit. I will try again next time I visit Alabama
Very good Thai food. Their Tom Kha is my favorite soup. My mom loves the mixed veggies with chicken. Order the Thai donuts for dessert and you won’t be disappointed.
We did not enjoy at all-- I wish we had taken a picture of the small serving sizes of this food at this restaurant. We ordered a fried rice dish and a tofu dish plus mango & sticky rice dessert. Service was ok & Prices were fair, but the flavor was not nearly up to par with authentic Thai food. Every single dish left us disappointed... this was our first trip to Millbrook and likely our last visit to this place.
The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. This restaurant had wireless pay (Applepay). I ordered the spring rolls and vegetable "Yaki Soda" (I believe it is "Yaki Soba"), and it was delicious. I asked the waiter if the dishes were vegan, and they were helpful. The experience and food was a pleasure.
Really nice place and atmosphere. Great food and service!
We enjoyed our trip to Thai Naka. I eat only vegan, and they accommodated my needs. The tofu in the Pad Thai was delicious and the ginger salad was great. I will go back again!
Excellent food
Good service. Clean place
This place is a gem. My fiancé and I arrived for an early dinner, and this place didn’t disappoint. He had the calamari for an appetizer and I had the cheese rolls. They were both fresh and hot. We had the Thai fried rice and the Pineapple fried rice both with pork, absolutely amazing !! The atmosphere is quiet and just cozy. We will definitely return .
Have eaten there twice and really enjoyed it. Great place with great food.
The food good was hot and good. The service was great and the price was about $14 per person with a drink
Amazing Thai Food with amazing service. I had Pad See Ewe chicken & Fried Rice Chicken and it was so good ❤️❤️ Highly recommended
My husband just picked up a takeout. The Mango Sticky rice is old. The Mango is discolored and the rice is hard. I can't believe they gave that to a paying customer. I'm a mile away but I'll never go there again. AFTER reading. the owner's response. I really appreciated that sincere response. I will definitely go back again because of that response. I highly recommend the Dumplings. They were the best I've had in years.
Came with some friends to have a nice meal and catch up on some things. Service was great and the food was better. Nice quiet place to have meal and catch up
Quiet place with good food and service
Me and my friends came to get and the Service was great. Nice quiet place.
Food was not that great, The beef quality was really bad. I got sick after eating whatever dish that have beef in it.
Not recommend if you are looking for quality food...
My husband and I enjoyed our lunch
I ordered a curry for take out. When I picked up it was within the time I was told and the server was very cordial. The food was not to my satisfaction. The sauce in the curry tasted very watered down and the spices (not speaking of heat level) were minimal. As someone who's experienced the real thing this was a big disappointment.
Quiet and friendly atmosphere and the food was outstanding! This is my new favorite local! Shhh don’t tell anyone!!!
Waiter was super sweet and friendly, they have a variety of dishes and so far they're all delicious!!
Genuinely fantastic food and service. Our server was Nath and he was so helpful and polite. Loved it.
Love this place! Their chicken fried rice, ginger salad & Thai donuts are perfect! Loved this place when the Saetae’s owned it & still do.
I enjoyed the panang curry with pineapple added and the pork belly ramen. I will be back to try more.
Excellent spring rolls
Food was delicious and plentiful. Server was also very attentive. I will be back.
The staff is great, they really enjoy what they do...and the food is great.
Fake thai food... worst I've ever had
Only Thai place in Millbrook I'm pretty sure so did not disappoint. Super quiet and peaceful in the restaurant and the workers were super sweet. Pretty good food too.
I stopped by for a quick lunch and had the Pad Thai (tofu) lunch special with the soup. The soup was a basic broth (no fresh elements) and was tastier after I added some spice. The Pad Thai was disappointing. The pad thai looked like it was made with fettuccini noddles and was swimming in a sauce that was entirely too sweet to enjoy. I drained the overly sweet sauce from my pad thai and it filled the soup bowl. The crushed peanuts were marinated in the sweet sauce and the sweetness overpowered the nuttiness. I asked for additional bean sprouts and more lime to add a fresher element and the flavor improved marginally after I added some spice. The tofu seems to have been prepared way before serving and it was fried, tasteless, and added little to nothing to the dish. (Would have been better to sear it and then toss in the other components.) All that being said, I would not try any lunch anything again, however, the cashier/waiter was kind and attentive and that attention might just warrant a visit and second try at another time.
We ordered online through the website and it was super convenient/user friendly. The food was amazing and appreciated the quick turn around. Would highly recommend
Miss when they use to do sushi but I love the food and the people who run it and work there are very kind
Great food and service
Love their Thai fried rice
No sushi?!
I got the Red Curry with chicken, it was SOO good. But still, no sushi??? It's in the name... 😑
Best pad Thai you will ever eat.
My wife loves Thai food
food is fantastic and the customer service is good. willing to conversate with you or leave you be. time to food is generally good having only had to wait a few times and each time it was under 5 minutes.
I think it’s under new ownership. It’s not nearly as good as it used to be. Used to be much better quality. Beware
This is a little diamond in the back of everything, by Adams drugs in Millbrook. My first time was takeout and I had teriyaki salmon..best I ever had. The broth and vegetables it was served in was absolutely wonderful. My second time I took my aunt.. we ate inside the restaurant. Great service and wonderful sweet tea. Of course I had the salmon again and my aunt had the teriyaki shrimp. We didn't have anything left..lol
I'll be going again ASAP
Pretty mediocre flavors, pad tai was very basic and on the dry side; not enough peanuts or citrus. Had to top it off with the green curry sauce from another dish to not feel like I was completely scammed. Red curry was bland and more than half bamboo with chewy beef. The micro portion of Tom kha was good at least. Takeout was not the move.
Good food and good service
Excellent service and great food and portion size, and the Thai coffee puts Starbucks too shame. Also prices are very reasonable a favorite new place!
Fantastic taste, prompt service, and wonderful environment. Fans of Thai will enjoy. Fans of spice go Thai hot.
Absolutely delicious
Read reviews, decided to try.. Nice and clean inside, very friendly and attentive service. (Ok I was the only 1 eating inside).. Excellent flavor in the Tom Ka (Broth could be a little thicker) but definitely made fresh and in house. Pad Thai was huge and delicious, freshly prepared..
Just drove over to pick up dinner despite no one answered after 2 calls. I arrive and the restaurant looks closed. Google times need updating.. Whhaaat an wasted trip.
I came here for sushi and they didn’t even have it. I looked to make sure there thing said they had sushi but when we got in they handed us the menu and had no sushi at all.I ordered chicken fried rice and it was good.
Small shop that only serves Thai food now. Sushi must have closed since COVID and does not seem to plan to reopen. Had the pad thai and green curry for dinner with my husband. The pad thai was terrible - it was drowned in an entire plate of red sauce, was overly salty, and had little to no vegetables. Would highly recommend against getting the pad thai. The green curry was a bit better in flavor but was definitely not as "green" as normal green curry. It looked like it was in coconut soup and the chicken chunks were thick and overcooked. Would not be coming back here for the food…but on the plus side, the server was nice and really did try his best.
Great food and people.
This was my first time trying Thai food. I played it safe and just order the sweet and sour chicken with lo mein. It was okay. I made a group order and I will say the employees were very helpful on organizating my orders so everyone had their own individual bag with plenty of utensils and napkins. They also helped bring my bags to my car which was really convenient.
We were returning from Pensacola and stopped here for lunch. The food is great. Nice ambience. Very good service. Would love to come back again. Highly recommended.
Great food and very friendly staff
Some of the best Thai food I have ever had. Expertly spiced, huge portions. I am very picky about Tom Yum, but it is my favorite soup. There was not a thing I would change about it. The waiter is super sweet. The music warms my soul. I am so glad we stopped and we DEFINITELY will again.
I had the Chicken House Soup Bowl. The taste was great but the portion amount was for a child. I had to order other items to get full. I would not suggest the Bowl. Get the larger Hot Pot if you are hungry. My wife had the Chicken Teriyaki dish and it was awesome!!!! Huge portion to get full on. They will be getting a new Chef in July and this will add new menu items and Sushi will be back on the menu again. This place is a favorite right in our back yard and I can't wait to taste the new Chef's dishes!!!!! Give this place a try, you won't regret it!!!!
At the time they advertised they sold sushi and Japanese food, ended up going to have no sushi and barely any Japanese options. Nothing against the Thai as it was still good but the whole place seemed very lonely due to the lack of people and decoration. The server was very kind and nice however.
Food mediocre and customer service was absolutely embarrassingly bad.
Best Thia food I've had around this whole area! Thank you for the great food and service.
I and my wife had pad thai and yakisoba today, it was amazing, the food was very delicious and we have to say we enjoyed every single bite of the meal. The atmosphere is chill, beautiful music and the staff is also really friendly. It was my first time here and we will come back.
It was great. Nice flavors. Great presentation. Great service.
Management seems to have changed recently and the quality of the food has gone down with it. The only dish I've had that wasn't disappointing was the thai fried rice. The pork ramen, yakisoba, and pineapple fried rice have all changed and are not nearly as good as they used to be. Definitely disappointing when this used to be one of my favorite stops in Millbrook.
An incredible experience, the food and the service fascinated me. I will definitely return.
Disappointed they no longer have sushi
Well.....VERY limited menu.
My husband and I have loved this place for years. We normally ate here 2-3 times a year. It used to be SO GOOD but not it is LITERALLY garbage. We just got home with our order of pad thai, spring rolls, and pineapple fried rice... took one bite and now it is in the trash. We would've been better off throwing $40 cash in the garbage. I don't know what is going on but I am beyond upset. What a waste of time and more importantly money.
Great Thai food. Really enjoyed the curries and the Pad Thai. Very friendly staff, clean, and good prices. A new must for us.
Fast service, and excellent food! This is our new go-to restaurant.
The service and food this evening was phenomenal! Pricing is very fair. Great place for a quiet date night. Or just some amazing food.
No sushi.....
Owners are very nice, food is great. My only suggestion is that they have a soup or salad with entree at night like they do at lunch.
So so so so good!!
The most popular dish was good. Didn't have enough help. I would probably go back
I’ve definitely had better. The pad Thai was over cooked and for the portion sizes they are expensive.
Great service and excellent food!
The chicken massaman curry was outstanding. Will definitely be returning!
Delicious green curry, and the dumplings were awesome
Love this place. I always get the pad see ewe with tofu and they always give lots of tofu
This is one of our favorites locally! The staff is always personable, and the food is magnificent!
A culinary gem hidden in Millbrook:)
Best Thai food around, I will definitely be going back.
Love the food the staff is amazing and they'll teach you how to speak Thai 1 word at a time
Food was really good and fresh, service was excellent! We will definitely be back!
Excellent food and great service! Definitely recommend to both people trying Thai for the first time or people who already enjoy Thai food.
Great prices and excellent service! The fried rice was awesome!
Stopped in for Thai tea. The lady that checked us out was super nice! The tea...mmmm
I enjoy the experience at Baan Thai. I try and speak the tonal language right along with the staff. I have had at least half of the menu, no exaggeration.I picked up an order of Pad Thai today and it was gooooood!
Had the very best experience at this restaurant! Just wanting to go somewhere to dine in, first time in such a very long time, we are still wearing masks and the restaurant is doing everything possible to adhere with Covid restrictions. Our server is so friendly and extremely knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the extensive menu. Choosing our meals was the only difficulty encountered! We made good decisions and enjoyed crispy spring rolls, pineapple fried rice and ginger chicken! It was all so tasty 😋. We will go again and try something else only because it all looks so delicious!
I had the pineapple fried rice. It was delicious! My wife had the ginger stir fry and said it was wonderful. We shared an order of spring rolls, which were crispy and tasty. They were served with a clear, sweet and sour sauce. A great start to our excellent meal! We will definitely be back!
Really good food. Outstanding service. Nice size portions.
Our go to Thai place. The staff is always super nice and they make to go orders very easy.
Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices. So far my goto spot for Pad Thai in the area
I get weak at the knees when I have the opportunity to enjoy some Thai food and this hidden gem of a restaurant needs ALL the attention it can get! The food was SO unique, relaxing, and full of flavor - simply amazing! Prices were nice by my standards (Don't be cheap; You get what you pay for). Staff was very courteous and always smiling, making sure the guests were comfortable and taken care of. I will most certainly be returning here many, many times in the future!
Delicious food😋
Absolute best Thai restaurant I've found in the area since moving here. It's worth the drive up from Montgomery.
Very good food & service. Will be back..
It was some great food , Friendly Service and good prices ! Will be going back again !
Always great food and service.
Absolutely great overall.
Immediately upon walking in we were greeted with a warm welcome. The restaurant looked very nice and cozy, the menus have a wide variety for seafood lovers, meat lovers, and even vegetarians. The prices seem a little steep at first however the quality and quantity easily compensate.
I ordered the Thai Fried Rice with my meat choice being the Seafood Combo. When the meal arrived it was hot and very visually pleasing. There were four large shrimp, three oysters, and several pieces of squid which all tasted fresh and flavorful.
Our waitress was very nice and interactive. She laughed a lot and even joked back with us. She answered any questions we had and made sure we were well taken care of during our meal. One of the impressive parts was her mostly fluent english, unlike a lot of other foreign cuisine restaurants where there always seems to be some sort of language barrier.
Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Thai food or is willing to try it. I for one will deffinitely be returning, there's just too much food I haven't tried yet.
Food is magnificent and the prices are reasonable
Absolutely wonderful. First time there. She recommended the chicken stir fry. Very good and the service is great as well.
They're so nice and inviting... The food is great and you can ask to make it mild, medium, or spicy. It's food for all tastes inspired by Japanese and Thai cuisine
Food was delicious and service was awesome. Best kept secret in Millbrook. If you have not tried this place you are missing out.
Great place to eat, super friendly and clean. This was the first time i actually ate Thai food as a meal, but my wife loves to eat it and said it was very good.
Great food, great Atmosphere.
Always super-fresh ingredients prepared authentically. That's what keeps me coming back!
The best Thai food in the region, bar none.
A slice of tomato was bad. And I paid $4 extra for more mussle s and it ONLY had 3 !!!!! In the whole seafood salad only had two pieces of shrimp. And 1 slice of octopus. Was very disappointed... Been looking for awhile for a nice Thai place but this was disappointing.
Great food, great people
Super friendly staff, the food is always fresh, flavorful, and authentic!
This place is delicious and has excellent service!
This is so good! Pad thi is on point
Clean, outstanding service and great curry.
First visit and we will definately return. The server suggested dishes and was very pleasant and professional. Our food came out quickly, hot and delicious. The menu was expansive, with something for everyone.
Friendly staff, very helpful!
Excellent food, generous portions, fair pricing. Super fast preparation for a pickup order.
Excellent Thai food! Great ambiance, our waitress was awesome. Will definitely be back!
So happy to have Thai back in Millbrook. The food was awesome with just enough spice to complement the flavors.
Great place to eat. And great waitress very nice and caring. Plus she looks great too
Best curry I have had in quite some time.
Amazing food!!!!
The Red Dragon is our favorite, so much so, we order it to go from time to time! Yummy yummy and always Friendly and Clean.
Horrible food. 2 dishes at our table smelled and tasted like rotten meat. I was seriously concerned that we would be sick after taking a few bites of chicken and beef, but no one got sick. We reported it to the restuarant. They asked if they could do anything to fix the problem. We just cant go back there after the incident.
It was wonderful! I got the tofu masaman curry, and it was delightful. And our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. 5 out of 5 stars all around!
Great food very nice people
