About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
A Taste of Bangkok in the Heart of California.
A vibrant restaurant in Buellton, California, inspired by the owners' time living in Thailand. The menu features a diverse selection of elevated street food dishes.
Step inside and be transported to a lively atmosphere. The colorful decor and friendly staff create a welcoming ambiance.
Start your culinary journey with a selection of small plates, like the crispy lumpia, filled with curried beef, or the light and flavorful por pia tofu spring roll, bursting with fresh vegetables and herbs. For a main course, indulge in the pad thai, a classic dish elevated with perfectly grilled shrimp and a symphony of textures. The deep-fried whole fish with fried garlic sauce is a showstopper, offering a crispy exterior and succulent, flaky fish.
Na Na Thai's commitment to authentic flavors extends to their use of locally sourced ingredients. They work closely with farmers and ranchers to ensure the freshest, highest-quality produce and meats.

    My wife and I ordered 5 dishes and there wasn't a single "miss". Our favorites were the calamari and their fried rice special (crudo, pork skewers, and spicy ground pork curry dishes were also great). Service was friendly and their wine list was fantastic as well (lots of good Riesling to pair with spicy food). The only negative was that were out of a few things we were excited to try. Luckily, that did not impact the meal at all.

    Na Na Thai is one of our favorites. The food is always excellent. The quality of the ingredients is top notch. We brought some friends this time who had never been there and they loved it. Our friend said it was the best ramen he had ever had. If they were closer we would eat there every week.

    Some of the best Thai around. Every time I go I don’t think it can top the previous visit and yet they do it every time. The ambiance, the food, the service, all 5 stars. Can’t recommend enough. A must stop when you’re in the SY/Buellton area!

    Outstanding doesn’t fully capture the overall quality of this dining experience. The use of fresh quality ingredients are evident from first bite to last. Lumpia were soooo good; highly recommend those for a starter. Lon Gung was also a banger. Save room for the Tiger Blood shaved ice dessert, it’s an interesting expression of a childhood treat meets a premium coconut ice cream. The staff here really do elevate the experience. Very attentive, kind and personable. Do yourself a favor, GO!
