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.

Guest Chef Mei Lin
May 9, 2025 only
Join us for a Thai-Chinese ala carte menu created with critically acclaimed chef, Mei Lin! Born in China, Mei Lin and her family immigrated to the US when she was an infant. They planted roots in Dearborn, Michigan, where Lin grew up working alongside her mother and father at their family-owned and operated Chinese restaurant; and where she learned the fundamentals of being a well-rounded cook and how to run a restaurant. Mei Lin won Food Network’s Tournament of Champions IV in 2023. Her former restaurant Nightshade, was named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Restaurant, along with the Shrimp Toast being highlighted as Dish of the Year; and earning a spot as one of GQ Magazine and Eater National’s Best New Restaurants in America as well as 2020 James Beard Foundation Best Chef California & Best New Restaurant Nominations. Lin opened her fast-casual Szechuan Hot Fried Chicken restaurant, Daybird, to critical acclaim.

Excellent service and tasty dishes. We had Spring roll-Por Pia (tofu spring roll with peanut relish), PAD SEE EW (chicken and broccoli thick noodle dish), Geng Daeng Moo Sap (red curry (shrimp paste) with mince niman ranch pork and salted egg). Great flavor for each dish and very satisfying -the heat lingered. The Thai Ice Tea was wonderfully flavored and not super sweet like some places. The lime sorbet and the tapioca dessert also an excellent way to end our wonderful tasty treat. We definitely found our new favorite place to go!

Food is delicious but it’s very pricey. It’s the lost authentic Thai anywhere near us but I wish they had some specials that offered more value
