Nana Thai | STREET food
#goodfoodtacoma
PLEASE do yourself a favor and go to Nana Thai - they are fabulous!!!! Seriously, these folks know Thai!! We have just found our new favorite Thai food place!! Insanely delicious dishes ( and we are picky when it comes to Thai) that are wok-hot, perfectly seasoned, and just such a pleasure to eat! They use high- quality ingredients in the dishes we ate ( Thai Basil Beef, Chicken Panang and Crab Wontons) that had an amazing balance of meat, spices, vegetables and sauces. The Thai Basil Beef, in particular, was spectacular with nice big chunks of very flavorful beef, mushrooms, onions and plenty of great basil! A nice little kick of heat with chili produced an outstanding dish. The Panang was divine as well!! The Crab Wontons were stuffed with a delicious crabby filling and fried nice and crispy. Loved them with their great chili sauce. We can't think of a meal we've enjoyed this much in a long time! The server was very sweet and friendly. Just a wonderful experience! We highly recommend Nana Thai. It is in the Freighthouse Center and well worth a visit. We will definitely be back and have already recommended them to our family and friends.
Vibes of a mall food court, but amazing food and great service! We can't wait to come back and try more things. I really wasn't expecting such great thai food from this place, but it's honestly one of my favorites that I've had! We got egg rolls, pad thai and pad see ewe. Give it a try if you are in the area!
I went back here for a second time. This time I tried dishes I found on a foodies TikTok. I got the wrapped bacon shrimp, crab fried rice and their pad kee mao.
The bacon shrimp wrap was amazing. Crispy on the outside. The sweet sauce tht goes with it compliments it so well. There a total of 6 wraps all on a bed of lettuce.
The pad kee mao was delicious. I asked for hot as they can be and they brought it up for both this dish and the crab fried rice. The pad kee mao must be one of the best drunken noodles I’ve tried. I love the sautéed basil in tht dish. The crab fried rice came with a delicious spicy lime sauce tht is served on the side. They also use real crab in this dish. I love the slice of tomato in every main dish.
Also you can never go wrong with their Thai ice tea.
I've always liked Washington people. Maybe more service-oriented or better work ethics, but definitely felt well served. Though not many options to choose from the menu, my dish, forgot the name because it was recommended, was pretty good, prepared just the right amount of heat and not like every thai noodle dish. I wasn't thirsty afterwards. The hostess was very attentive and friendly.
Lovely service and Amazing food!! Definitely recommend going here for lunch or dinner.
Amazing service. They were super nice and have amazing food.
Crispy chicken was fantastic! Loved the sauce, nice portion! Quick service.
The Pad See Ew was so fantastic it would be tough to order anything else. Plus their homemade chili oil is delicious.
My new favorite Thai place. The food was delicious, less sweet and more savory, prices were amazing, and the service was great. Very unique place inside the freight house, I enjoyed the atmosphere.

It's in a food court, not a restaurant per se. Run by a young man from Chiangmai and a young woman from Nan; I assume they're a couple. VERY nice pleasant people! Even if the food was terrible, which it was NOT, I would go back just to talk with them! I had the khao soi, my favorite, which many restaurants won't serve, because they feel they can't do it authentically, and my wife had Thai fried rice. We were both very pleased; she's a tiugher customer than me since she has food related PTSD (long story.) While we were eating they filled 10 or 12 to go orders. oh... coming soon they say: A pork rib soup. A couple of regulars from Transit Security are all kinds of excited over it.

After long time had awesome spicy fried chicken rice
They have the absolute best drink I’ve ever had in my entire life. The food alone is very good but their Thai iced jasmine green tea makes this place a must-try.
very good service!
Best teriyaki I've had in tacoma the chicken isn't dry and the food is fairly priced the peach tea is the best I've had too

Good food, good service, highly recommended Thai food in Tacoma!
Always love the Thai Golden Cashew Chicken and Crispy Garlic Chicken. A must-try if you're in the area.
Super delicious food, good portions, and friendly staff :)
Hands down 10/10
Good portions and great sauce!
Best fried rice in and around Tacoma. Love their crab fried rice, however, pineapple rice is top notch. Pad thai is very delicious as well.
Extremely fast service, very friendly and the pad see ew had great flavor! Pad Thai is quite sweet however, if that's your thing
After trying the scrumptious, affordable pork lumpia, here, I expanded to adding Tom Kha Gai (soup) to my order this week. I was not disappointed. The food is hot, and fresh! The service is friendly. This is the best sort of savory comfort food, on a rainy night.
Amazing customer service and great prices for food been coming here everyday for months. Delicious
Great food and wonderful service!
Love them
Cute friendly girl! 🤭
Saw her Again! Wow!
Best Thai food. I've only ordered on Uber Eats but the food is always delicious every single time! I only want to order Thai food from this place.
Great food!!
The food is super fresh and the people who serve you are extremely nice and welcoming!
Amazing jasmine tea plus their lumpias are amazing!! Definitely recommend
Top notch pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and yakisoba. Excellent flavoring, crisp veggies, and generous portions. I am from San Diego or I'd be back to try more! Situated in a food court but every bit as good as a sit-down place. Venue has other vendors too, so it would be easy to mix and match with other different tastes.
I loveeeeeeee yourrrrr Thai coffffeeeeee
Was greeted by the sweetest lady and she made sure my order was right. That crab fried rice was AMAZING! I'll be going back to try some more of their food. Thank you!
Great food and service
Always the best! staff is very friendly and the food always comes out quickly. I love eatting here!
Nana Thai at Freighthouse Square in Tacoma is a gem for Thai cuisine enthusiasts. The menu features a variety of flavorful dishes, including their standout curries and fresh spring rolls. The vibrant atmosphere complements the delicious food, and the staff is attentive and friendly. A must-visit for a satisfying Thai meal!
Great food and service 😁
I only had some thai tea, but the food looked and smelled amazing. I'm looking forward to trying some on the next visit
Super yummy cashew chicken! Fast service and good portions! :)
I went back here for a second time. This time I tried dishes I found on a foodies TikTok. I got the wrapped bacon shrimp, crab fried rice and their pad kee mao.

Great service, even greater food and drinks! I come here almost daily during school lunches! Awesome sauce!!
Awesome sauce
Amazing 5 stars well deserved.
I heard about this place from a tik tok food review so had to go and check it for myself and sooo glad I did. I ordered the crab fried rice, pork lumpia, & bacon shrimp egg rolls every bite was delicious!!! Definitely recommend and I definitely will be back. Oh and the customer service was on point very friendly.
Their service was quick and they were very kind. I got the orange chicken, replaced the salad with more rice. I was also given a free tea for this review! Everything I had tasted so good! The rice was fragrant, the chicken was so flavorful and the tea was well balanced.

Yummy Thai tea!
Ashley had great customer service !
The food and staff are exceptionally great. The staff go out of their way to accommodate you.
I’ve been coming here for years! The food is always yummy and the service is excellent!
i love the chicken pad tai here :)
Food is delicious! Crab fried rice is my favorite!!
As soon I realized I was able to make something gluten friendly I was so happy.
Food is great here!!
I don't like leaving bad reviews, but my food was terrible. I ordered on doordash and will probably throw it away because it's borderline inedible. The drunken noodles, the crispy garlic chicken, the lumpia. It was all low quality, low effort, way too salty. The broccoli in the noodles was rock hard and didn't seem to be cooked with the noodles, like it was thrown in afterwards or something.
Great food and kind staff. :)
Great food and great service
They are so sweet ! The food was so good &, the customer service was amazing.
The cashier was really nice. She had a great attitude. The food was great. Will come again!
Amazing as always
Food and customer service is gooood
I would have taken a photo, but I thought of it to late; the plate was clean out. It was very good, with reasonable prices; strongly recommended. Staff was awesome in everyway. I will return to try others dishes. The Freight house square building is a very warm place, but that's not the restaurants fault. If it's to warm for you, order to go, but if you like to eat, this place will not disappoint.
Fried rice is soooo yummy me and my father come all the time for it we only get the rice here along with veggie egg rolls! 🤭🤭
Friendly and delicious Thai classics!
The food is excellent. The owner are friendly and inviting. Ashley host and owner very friendly, customer service oriented and knowledgeable about the food. This one of my favorite restaurants to eat waiting for the train or just going shopping in Frieght House Square. I recommend the all the food , but my favorites are pineapple fried rice, stir fried egg noodles, cripy chicken salad and pad thai.
As in writing this, I am on my third straight day eating at Nana. If you’re looking for fresh and tasty Thai food, then come to this place inside Freighthouse. I love their chicken wings and their curry (green and coconut) is the best I’ve had here in Tacoma.
BEST LUMPIA IN TOWN!!! I’m here every week and the service is always on point and really nice ppl. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The Lumpia is a MUST HAVE!! Enjoy!
The pad thai and pad see ew are amazing. Very friendly service.
Very good atmosphere and great hard workers with good customer service. The food was also amazing they brought it out quickly considering the amount of people that were ordering from there.
The food was amazing, the staff was kind and they had about 18 orders all served in a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend. Def coming back, I didn’t stay to eat so I’m not sure about the atmosphere but the food was 😋 🤤
This place is truly wonderful! The workers had to handle about 15+ orders and got them finished very quickly. The teriyaki chicken is one of the best on their menu and don't get me started on their thai ice tea! Truly a great restaurant, highly reccomend!
Delicious crab fried rice!
Had the orange chicken with a Thai tea. Food and drink were great. Service was spot on. It's an old building so some people might not like the atmosphere. Not the fault of the owners though. Will return again.
The lumpia’s here are really good, a need to try spot before hopping on the train!!
As someone who loves Thai food: this place is awesome and Pleasant and Professional. Nice People and Great Food.
They are super nice. Excellent service. Love the shrimp fresh rolls peanut sauce is so delicious, that i had to ask for a container full to take home.
The food is so good. I tried the tofu spring rolls they have best peanut sauce I have ever tried.
Very nice people food was good and place is nice
Great selection of Thai food options. Reasonable price and friendly staff.
Great food, great service not much more to ask for.
Great teriyaki chicken. Perfect bite to eat before working at the Tacoma Dome. Thai Ice Tea was also very good.
As well as very fast service. I got my food first before the group of people I was with (who ordered from other places in Freight House Square) and they ordered way before me!
Great food and always welcoming! My favorite place to go for a quick lunch.
Amazing Thai food and amazing service. I’ve been coming here for awhile now and have never been disappointed.
Favorite spot for lunch during the work week!
Love the pad see ew, and the service is always great :)
It's like the best kept secret food court in Tacoma. So amazing 😍
I get lunch from here almost everyday and they're also so nice and the food doesn't take long at all!!
AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! great food at a great price
Great food!
Their crispy fried chicken - best nuggets in town.
I have pad Thai and Thai fried rice and they both well seasoned. One thing that I love is drink packaging. I always have a hard time mixing Thai tea by just stirring with a straw so it is great to see that use a better quality plastics cup that well sealed and reusable so I can shake the cup without creating a mess.
Good price, good portions, great flavor 👍
UPDATE: Feb 2024
I've tried several other Thai places in Tacoma and this is still my favorite. I recommend getting one of their daily specials. It's such a great price and still a good amount of food! Food is made to order and comes out to you real quick, service/staff have always been wonderful and attentive.
this is the best Thai food that I've ever had . I really love pad thai so much. I recommended for my friends they are also really like too.❤️
OMG padseew super yummy I am so surprised the chef cook tasty and delicious and orange chicken so favor. The Thai ice tea and green ice tea very strong nice
Ok so this was just shortly after we had eaten at Zeeks but I had to get something here because I used their restroom and you have to get a code from the vendors.
So this place is in a food hall that located next to the train terminal by the Tacoma Dome.
They had crab fried rice on the menu so I decided to try it. Wasn’t really hungry but I had to buy something. My wife is a seafood snob so I figured since it was near the ocean I would be getting fresh crab however that wasn’t the case. Now don’t let that deter you because the crab rice was outstanding. The young man that cooked it did a fantastic job of cooking it. Yes I watched him do his magic.
I will say you will want to leave your windows down as you transport this dish because your car will be aromatic for a while.
The garlic butter sauce that was given to pour over it was sooo good on the rice I about burst trying to consume as much of it as I could because Sharlena wasn’t going to let me bring it back on the train lol.
Please check these guys out. Real good food.
Amazing care for customer and attention to the fine details! A pleasant customer experience with an elevated quality of food. 10 out of 10 would recommend if you’re in the area!
Love their lumpia it’s literally the best. Definitely try their thai iced jasmine green tea, it’s so good!
Everywhere I’ve eaten from in the Freighthouse square has been absolutely delicious, and Nana Thai did not disappoint in that pattern.
I ordered the Pad Kee Mao, and I had to tell my coworker to take my bowl away from me because I literally couldn’t stop eating it, it was so good. I ordered it a 3.5-4 star, and he achieved that spice level perfectly. I also ordered the lumpia, which were also delicious. Food was delicious and came out fresh and quickly. Not a single complaint.
Support local!! There’s free parking across the street, and plenty of open seating at Freighthouse.
ThE BEST Fried rice I have ever tried. I get the crab fried rice at tofu. Oh my God I try to put as many people on as I can I’m telling you you won’t regret it. To go there right now.
You just cant find teriyaki like this anywhere. Some people wont agree is because they have a different taste. Very good.
Stumbled across this place while my husband was grabbing seafood. Ordered the pad Thai and absolutely loved it! Perfect spice level. Good sized portion as well. They were really nice and service was very fast. Definitely a new favorite!
Awesome. Perfect Pad Kee Mao, incredibly fast, incredible service.
Delicious Pad Thai I’ve ever had in Tacoma. I like how they cook the egg, not too mushy. I’d say it’s pretty authentic! Must try!
Amazing food and amazing customer service
While waiting for a bus, I came here and got myself some pad kee mao (drunken noodles), one of my favorite Thai dishes. I ordered it with tofu and 3/5 for the spice. Nana didn't disappoint! The tofu and veggies were cooked perfectly, and the sauce had a wonderful sweetness to it that played well with the spice. I love heat, so with a runny nose by the end of my meal, I was very pleased! The portion was also quite generous for the price, which means I get to enjoy it again later. Service was very friendly and quick. Overall, I had a lovely experience and will be returning! Thank you!
This is the best drunken noodles I've had so far in Tacoma, highly recommend!!!!
I've never left a review for a restaurant, but this warrants one. I just had chicken teriyaki delivered and it's so bad I can't eat it. The chicken is so overcooked, it hurt my jaw to chew. I thought it would be grilled but it was sautéed. It's light tan... absolutely no sauce whatsoever.
It doesn't taste like chicken OR teriyaki. It's going in the garbage along with the rice and brown lettuce.
The food is always delicious and the service is A+.
If I could give zero I would. I ordered Singapore noodles and got something else and the portion was reduced with price higher. Few years ago this place was pretty good but not anymore. I got bad mushrooms before that was canned but they said I was lying. N said it was fresh...you can canned mushrooms from fresh when cooked. It's obvious. (Does this look like Singapore noodles? No curry on there, and that's basic for Singapore noodles)
Thank you to the 2 gentlemen who provided good customer service and even better teriyaki chicken. I have yet to find another restaurant serving teriyaki at $12 period. Oh and by the way it was very good and filling. Thanks for a fantastic lunch.
Good food nice people
Great customer service, great food.
I've only ordered off of doordash, but every time the food has been incredible!! We've tried a good variety of food, and so far it's all been delicious and reasonably priced. I'll definitely continue to order from here. I highly recommend the lumpia and orange chicken.
Excellent
Delicious lumpia and the Pineapple Fried Rice should make you wanting to revisit time & time again!
No seasoning at allll lol they didn’t even cook my tofu!! If you’ve ever had tofu you know it has to be cooked, you can’t even really call the rice fried rice somehow they were able to burn some of the rice but not cook the rest smh$30 worth of food and I had to throw it away it was starting to make me sick smh no effort was put in
Must try
This Spot !!
They are BACK
I love their lumpia. They have great spicy crispy chicken and garlic chicken too! They're closed a lot according to doordash which sucks but when they are open I always order from them.
best place to eat thai and teriyaki. Must try. Hidden gem!
Do not eat at this place or any place in the freighthouse. Today while waiting for our food a huge rat came running out of the kitchen. It must happen often as it ran right by the employees and they didn't even budge. Totally disgusting.
Very delicious quick food
Always tasty and fast service
Mediocre Thai food that seems to to morph Thai cooking into something they believe will please Tacoma. The older women working there is beyond snarly.
The cashew chicken was tasty. The paid thai wasn't what I am used to but it was still flavorful. The crab wontons were yummy too!
Their menu does not accurately describe what you are ordering. I ordered the pineapple fried rice because the description only listed "curry powder, pineapple, egg, onion, broccoli, carrots, and cashew nuts." All things I will eat. Nowhere on the menu was it indicated that this dish would be absolutely stuffed with green and red bell peppers. Menus exist so people can choose food they actually want to eat, and not wind up with a steaming plate of garbage. If the menu doesn't actually tell you what you're really about to pay for, then you wind up paying for food you can't eat. Also I ordered through uber eats which means I've already waited half an hr just to find out that I need to find an alternative dinner.
Excellent green bean delight and crispy basil garlic chicken!
I often get orange chicken here. I love it. The sauce is amazing. Last time I ordered, I tried the Pad Thai. It tasted OFF like something was rancid. It put me off for a couple of weeks, but I decided to try my beloved orange chicken again today. Not only was it WAY WAY overdone, but I found a piece of plastic in my fried rice. Not sure what’s going on in this restaurant, but I just can’t eat here any more.
I was very impressed with their food. They weren’t expensive, and had great service. I will DEFINITELY be eating there again!
Had the prawn rolls, gyoza and orange chicken special with egg rolls. Delicious, quick and fresh. The prawn rolls are to die for!
Awesome food every time. Favorite Thai place so far!
Fast, good portion size and delicious!
