Nua Thai Kitchen

Green Curry

Coconut-forward green curry with a herbaceous heat that builds gradually — typical of a kitchen making its own paste rather than relying on jarred product

Pad Thai

The benchmark dish — worth ordering to calibrate the kitchen; a clean, tamarind-forward version with the right amount of sweetness

Massaman Curry

Rich, slow-cooked curry with warm spices and tender meat — the dish that separates serious Thai kitchens from takeout operations

Tom Kha Soup

Galangal-and-coconut broth with a citrus brightness that signals fresh aromatics — a reliable indicator of kitchen quality

Larb

Minced meat salad with toasted rice powder, fish sauce, and lime — the kind of dish that requires conviction to do right
