    Literally the best meal we’ve had in Boise. The owners are so kind and the food is incredibly good. It’s so much more creative and ambitious than any other southeast Asian place in Idaho. We had the papaya salad, the Penang curry, and the yellow curry with fried chicken. Their presentation is amazing!! They are clearly a little understaffed so be patient, be kind, and you will be rewarded with a delicious meal.

    Wonderful!! Our new favorite place for Thai food, and we love many places around town. I’ve loved the Panang veggie curry and the fried chicken yellow curry. Tea leaf salad was delicious and fresh. All the food was beautiful. Service was very friendly. I only wish they were open more! Hopefully as they get established they can extend some hours.

    Very delicious! They were able to make it mild since I can't handle spicy food. There was plenty of seating, very cute atmosphere. Service was fast and people very courteous. I had sweet basil with chicken with no jalapeños. It's gluten-free and was delicious with the coconut rice. My husband had the fried rice chicken. It was delicious. We will come here again!

    This is a solid Asian option in a town without much beyond the casual fine dining chains. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about food preparation. We enjoyed the fermented tea leaf salad, but I will give a heads up that the flavor is a bit more intense than other restaurants because they use some legit fermentation on their tea. We also enjoyed the fried chicken curryplate because who can say no to a fried chicken curry. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the rice wasn't overdone. My favorite side dish was the cucumber salad which comes as a side and along with the other dishes. Very good!

    When you see a place that has a 4.9 rating you've got to take notice. We did. Is it deserved? Yep absolutely. Now if you're not a Thai food fan then you might not agree but if you are then you should. Excellent preparation and fresh complex flavors that come through very well. Loved everything we tried. Just fantastic.

    The place was extremely busy during lunch time and you need to be patient as the place seems extremely understaffed. But the wait is worth it! We got seated in 10mins or so and took us a bit to put in the order. The lunch was very flavorful and the meat was tender. I was expecting it to be spicy, it wasnt a punch in the face spicy but had a good kick to it. Overall, definitely a must try place. Went there for dinner and was a similar experience. Although this time, it was super crowded. Food was delicious.

    Just moved to town and read online that Nahm was a new Thai place that had excellent service and food. And they did not disappoint! The Hung-Lay pork was fantastic and the Yellow Curry Fried Chicken was cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and although it's a small place, it's quaint and comfortable. I have lived in Atlanta and San Francisco, and have had excellent Thai food in both places; so I am very excited to have found something comparable right in downtown Boise and highly recommend Nahm Thai!

    An absolute hidden gem located in Boise. You are overwhelmed by delicious asian smells and flavors the second you walk in the door making you salivate instantly. Some of the best Burmese food I have ever had in my life. You are getting better quality food than that of michelin star restaurants for less than 20$ a person. Beautiful plate presentation, quick friendly service. We will be back!

    We had a lovely experience here! The food was absolutely delicious and our server was fantastic! The food was quite authentic Thai and Burmese dishes. We had a pretty decent sized group and many had a very different time deciding what to eat because everything sounded so good. When our order came out there dodgers looked gorgeous! We will definitely come again! Reservations are recommended.

    Nahm Thai & Burmese Cuisine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On 6/15/22, JP and I went to check out one of Boise’s newest and most highly rated restaurants. JP got there early and met RC, who we invited to join our table. We eat family style, sharing a salad, three entrées and two desserts. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We had a wonderful evening. We will definitely be back. Tea Leaf Salad ($13.95) - House fermented Sencha tea leaf, Romaine, spring mix, tomato, cucumber, fried garlic, fried shallot, nuts and seeds, fresh squeezed lemon juice. None of us had ever had a tea leaf salad before. We loved it. This salad not only is beautiful to look at, it has a lot going on flavor wise. The fried garlic and shallots, along with nuts and seeds, give it some nice crunch. Hung Lay ($17.95) - Rich and sweet curry with pork belly, ginger, pickled garlic, pearl onion, tamarind, served with cucumber relish. We ordered this dish with sticky rice. While we all liked each of the entrées, RC and I thought this one stood out above the other two. Pork belly isn’t my favorite, but I’m beginning to think I just haven’t had a great pork belly before. Hands-down, this is the best pork belly dish I’ve ever had. I don’t like sweet entrées. Personally, I did not consider this curry to be sweet. I would simply say it’s more complex than spicy, in terms of heat level. Green Curry with Beef ($18.95) - Green curry paste in rich and creamy coconut milk, braised beef shank, Kaffir lime leaves, green beans, bamboo shoots and basil. Comes with rice. Paratha and cucumber relish. We ordered this dish with coconut rice. This was JP’s favorite entree. I enjoyed it but Green Chicken Curry is my go to dish the first time I check out a Thai restaurant, so eating it made with beef is a different experience. I would not hesitate to order again, but next time I would ask if it could be made a little spicier. Usually when I get green curry, I ask for it to be made with the same spice level as it would in Bangkok. Yellow Curry with Fried Chicken ($18.95) - Thai Hat-yai style fried chicken with yellow coconut curry, onion, tomato and potatoes. Served with roti, rice and cucumber relish. We ordered this dish with sticky rice. We all enjoyed this dish, and it was one of my favorites. Hat-Yai fried chicken is a popular street food in Thailand. It’s typically served with sticky rice. This entrée comes with a serving of yellow curry to go with it. JP and RC Both felt they would prefer the dish if the chicken came in the curry, but I loved it just as it was. I really like the fried chicken, some of which I dipped in the curry before eating. But I liked the fried chicken skin just as it was. Next time though, I would ask if they could boost the spice level in the curry. Chocolate Banana Roti ($8) - Thai roti with banana, chocolate sauce and condensed milk. We all enjoyed this desert Mango Sticky Rice ($8.95) - With coconut milk cream. This dessert was our favorite. *Nahm means water in Thai. Location: 577 E. Park Blvd. #110 - Boise Highly Recommended!!!

    My hubby and I had lunch at Nahm today. The restaurant was remodeled and really cute. The service was good almost to good. The waitress watching our every move made us a little uncomfortable. The food was good. We paid $44.96 for lunch, so it's abit pricey.

    I went with a friend after noticing this opened recently. I was able to use my Google assistant to set a reservation without calling myself. That was convenient. The staff was very friendly. The food was very good. I didn't take a photo of the food because I was hungry! The atmosphere was clean and comfortable. The beer was cold. I recommend this place.

    Wonderful experience for dinner. The service was fast and super friendly, the decor was nice and neat. The food tasted wonderful; we ordered the Tea Leaf Salad, Sweet Basil with Beef and a Thai tea. Easily a new favorite.

    This is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to eat! The wife and I rarely go to the same place twice, as we like to try something new every time... but we've came [here] twice within the same week, which is a first for a restaurant. The venue is a cozy and beautiful setting, and the food is absolutely phenomenal! We will definitely be coming back again and again. Don't sleep on this restaurant!

    If you haven't tried Nahm, you're missing out on some of the tastiest food in the valley (or state). From the inviting atmosphere to the gracious service, this family-owned restaurant goes above and beyond on every aspect of dining. The food has excellent texture, appropriate variety, and never changes from its exceptional quality. If you enjoy spicy food, fried chicken, rice, soup, or noodles, you will enjoy Nahm (their menu is much more extensive than just those items). Their samosas are always perfectly crisp, mouthwatering delicious. The Tom Kah Soup is my favorite soup ever; the perfect balance of acid and creamy coconut, elements of ginger, lemongrass and Thai chilli tie it together for an experience in every bite. Their Pad Thai Gai is the best pad thai I've ever had, and well portioned. The Thai Ice Tea is amazing, flavorful with a mellow aftertase. The hot ginger tea is exceptionally refreshing, not too 'spicy' from the ginger. I could write a book on why this place is so exceptional, but you should just try it for yourself! The seating is limited/smaller (esp on weekends, they stay busy) but ordering To-Go is actually the same quality as in person (I'm a packaging-princess and I've always received my items warm, well wrapped, and properly portioned, literally no complaints, they never forget extra items on the side or drinks) Thank you for providing exceptional food and quality in boise! Never going back to Mai Thai lol

    So yummy,so authentic! The tea leaf salad, samosas and hung lay with sticky rice were all delicious! Unfortunately we ate it all and had no leftovers... I guess we'll have to go back!! 😉 The service was outstanding too, we were the last people there and they never rushed us.

    This was legit the best Thai food that I have ever eaten… absolutely delicious, perfectly sized portions & the service was top notch as well. I couldn’t recommend this place any more!!!! I’m only in town for a few more days, but I have no doubt I’ll be back again!

  • 5/5 Steven W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Burmese cuisine! Went with three people in total and our bill ended up around $80 with tip and no alcoholic drinks and 1 appetizer, and 3 main courses. All of us loved our meals and would go again! Very filling as we all went home with left overs 😊. I would recommend anyone coming here, I hear it can get busy later at night but it seemed great around 5-7 with tables still available on a Saturday night. Worth the trip!!!

    Nahm Thai has a spot in my top 5 favorite restaurants of all time - I'm a fan of variety, and everything I've tried on their menu has been amazing. My partner and I have dined in and ordered takeout multiple times, and the service has matched the quality of their food every time (i.e. 10/10). We tell everyone we know about this place, both locals and visiting out-of-towners.
