    Really hit the spot! I haven't had Thai food much since moving here from Oklahoma, and I definitely wasn't disappointed here! I went late Friday night, and they were not busy at all. I placed a to-go order at the front, and I was out the door in roughly five minutes! Food is spicy enough for my liking, which is a nice change of pace! The atmosphere was also very relaxing!

    Nice little place, REALLY good food. I got the massamon curry, you can’t really tell from the picture, but it’s got beef, potatoes, carrots, and peanuts, along with the broth, which is very good. 😎👍

    Excellent choice for stay at home Valentine’s Day game night! Staff was extremely nice and food was ready by the time stated. Spring rolls were fresh and loaded with lettuce and veggies. Pa Thai was also good, but make sure you cover it in those peanuts and peanut sauce they provide you.

    I wen to have dinner after seeing a 4.7 stars google rating. The food is just okay not worth the price or the high google rating. We ordered drunken noodles and green curry. The curry lacked flavor and tasted more like coconut cream (which I know is a key ingredient). The drunken noodles also lacked flavor and the vegetables were put together without any attention, I had a zucchini almost the size of my palm. I usually expect better from a restaurant with a 4.7 google rating. I hope my post can help people make a better decision than what I made. Good luck.

    4.5 stars - the food was tasty and the staff actually offered to bring more heat on the side. Sometimes you don’t know what the number system means at different restaurants. My friends met up with me here for my birthday. It is a rather small restaurant but can manager medium sized groups. Watch for when they are open.

    Happy you are back and open and serving. As good as I remember from the old location. Went with the usual: spring roll, chicken pad thai, chicken yellow curry. Pad thai was the best dish of the night for us. The rolls are always good but wish there was more to them than just lettuce. The yellow curry has great flavor but was a little more watery than I like or expect. Floor was managed by 1 person and he did a great job considering how many tables he had to work! We’ll be back for sure.

    We have missed this place so much!! Amazing food....we have had multiple items from here and all of it has been top-tier. The individuals working there are so kind as well which makes the meal better in my opinion. Some of the best Pad Thai I've ever had. Will absolutely be going back.

    I ordered the Thai noodle soup and the ginger tea and was blown away by the quality. My server Rin deserves a raise. She was attentive, kind, and charismatic. I will definitely be back. 5 stars for everything except for the atmosphere. The food and service will always outweigh the decor situation but I'd love to see more of a home-y touch in the future.

    The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and cozy albeit a little on the chilly side in the winter. The food was pretty good but flavors were not spectacular. Quantity was OK for the price. Lunch is currently in the range of 9 for lunch combos to 13 for family shared dishes. I might give them another shot because of the location but that's it.

    This is the first time my girlfriend and I stopped by at this restaurant. We found it on our drive home looking for a highly rated Asian restaurants. Wow, it lived up to the hype. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was top notch as well. I'm just bummed this place isn't close to my home. If you find this restaurant in your search, come through and taste all the amazing food here. The food we got is in the picture I took. She got the noodles and I got the rice dish. It was phenomenal. Come taste it for yourself. You will love it!!

    One of the best curries I’ve ever had. Fast good service.

  • 2/5 Cassidy H. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was good. People were very nice, but the food tastes like fast food. Basically what you would expect from Panda Express.

  • 4/5 Jonathan B. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food. Big portions. Decent ambience. Almost no service after food was served. Good value overall

  • 5/5 Jme B S. 4 years ago on Google
    I try something new every time we visit. No disappointments ever.

  • 5/5 Noah G. 4 years ago on Google
    Really great Thai food in a clean and cozy environment! Servers have always been quick and friendly and food comes out fast

  • 4/5 I Am the D. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s a little gem in the heights. Food is great. Service is good most nights. Prices are good for the portions. I would go out of my way to eat here good thing I don’t have to.

  • 5/5 Tasha S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great authentic Thai food at awesome prices!

  • 5/5 Chad H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great thai place! Definitely a go to from now on.

  • 5/5 Rolf K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food. In particular the Pad Nam Prik Pao was a savory delight

  • 4/5 Joe Fraley birthday w. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was delicious! I was the only one in the restaurant and was surprised that they only can back to my table to drop off the food. That was ok but the only annoying issue to me was the caller ID on the phone. Being the only person in the restaurant, it was very loud. But the food is well worth it.

  • 5/5 Emerson F. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food and very nicely presented. The food was full of flavor, and even the simplest parts of the meal were carefully prepared. The wait staff was very courteous and attentive, but I do wish they weren't dressed so sloppily; it distracted from the simple elegance of the restaurant interior and food presentation.

  • 5/5 Scott C. 4 years ago on Google
    This is my favorite Thai place. It isn't close to home but it's always worth the drive. When I have out of town visitors I always offer to take them. I've had everything on the menu by now and loved it all. Not to persuade you out of choosing for yourself, but Tom Kha w/ pork and an extra rice ball to help soak up that delicious soup is my absolute favorite (I ask them to make it spicy level 2 which is just right to make my brow wet)

  • 5/5 Benjamin H. 4 years ago on Google
    I've picked up food here 3 times and each time is was delicious. Very consistent also. The take out portions are also HUGE and green curry was actually 3 full meals. Will be back!

  • 4/5 Avi J. 2 years ago on Google
    Very peaceful environment. Affordable rates. Their peanut sauce is so good. Menu is very limited but they are shifting to a new location

  • 5/5 Michael S. 4 years ago on Google
    Another patron called the food and experience marvelous. I agree. I ordered the Pad Nam Prik Pao and a Thai Iced Coffee. The entree was rich in both color and flavor with a delicious sauce and slight spice to bring it all together. The iced coffee was the best I've had with it's distinct smoky flavor mixed with the sweet cream. I would gladly go back out of my way to enjoy this amazing food again.

    Drunken noodle, fried tofu, pad Thai and green curry. This is the best Thai restaurant in cottonwood heights

  • 5/5 Hawkpelt94 11 months ago on Google
    Attended a catered work party here recently, I was a little nervous because, being very white, I cannot handle spice well. The dishes were very mild, but still incredibly flavorful! Very filling too. I will definitely be eating here more often!!

  • 5/5 Michael G. 1 year ago on Google
    Welcome back Nuan's! We missed you and are so glad you made it through the pandemic. The service is excellent and kind and fast. The food is fairly priced and tastes fantastic. Also one of the only Thai restaurants that offer "Curry Soup" or Tom Yum and Khao Soi and is absolutely delicious. These are the small businesses that make our community better, especially wonderful people from other culture's living the American Dream. If you go here and enjoy your food and service please tip them well, they deserve it and losing them for two years during the pandemic reminded us how special they were.

    ***********Was not to bad, the part that could of made it a little better is if the waiter would have remembered to ask us what level of spice we might of wanted. We were not asked so we got the very mild version. It might of been a little better with just a little spice. It was not busy and we were the only ones in there at the time of dining in.

  • 5/5 Mike C. 5 months ago on Google
    Pad Sii Eiw and Yellow Curry are both fantastic! We ordered both a level one spiciness and it definitely has heat, but not overbearing. The coconut shrimp and the banana puff are also both good choices. There are other Thai places closer to our house but we still choose the longer drive to come here.

  • 5/5 J B. 5 months ago on Google
    Fresh rolls were excellent. Served with a warm peanut sauce. Delicious. Pad Thai was also great. Chili spices, not sweet or tomato-heavy like many places do. Would definitely come back. The food was superb.

  • 5/5 Nisie A. 6 months ago on Google
    The moment you take a bite you know it’s not your typical Thai food. It’s amazing. Once I heard when you go to a new Thai restaurant always try their pad Thai, that’s what we did and it was the best I’ve had in Salt Lake. This is a new location and I assume they are trying to improve the atmosphere as they establish their new spot, but everything else made up for it. Service was excellent, the wait was hardly at all for food. 👍

  • 4/5 Dallin H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, great portions and a great price!

  • 5/5 Benjamin W. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. I've had several different things here and they're all awesome.

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been going to Nuan's for years now, and I just love it. I live in Salt Lake City, downtown, and will go no other place for Thai - even driven driving for takeout. The restaurant is clean and the employees friendly. One thing I must say in praise is that I have special dietary concerns, so I must take extra care with restaurant food, but I have never had a problem with Nuan's food, so I will always return. Thank you for such amazing food.

  • 5/5 Jon F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and very nice service. The waiter was patient and explained the dishes as I am a novice at Thai food tho I enjoy and try it often. We started with fried egg rolls and they were delicious. We ordered 2 different dishes to share. I'm not exactly sure what they were, But both were fantastic. And the servings were large so we took some home. I choseTofu for my meat and they prepare it really great, a little crispy actually. My wife had shrimp and it was great. I ordered medium spice and it was plenty spicy for me. You can choose your own spice level. Great food and value. I recommend this restaurant if you like or just want to try some Thai.

  • 5/5 Maya C. 5 years ago on Google
    Rather slow service but the food is good. Sticky mango rice is the best. They have green papaya salad, not Hawaii kine though.

  • 5/5 Derek D. 3 years ago on Google
    I am the guy that goes to all of the different restaurants to find the best places to eat. Nuan's Thai Kitchen is literally my favorite place to eat in Utah. Do yourself a favor and get the Curry Noodles with chicken or slow cooked beef....

  • 5/5 Timothy T. 4 years ago on Google
    Pleasant experience. They were knowledgeable and helpful. Good prices and portion size. I really liked my choice because of their help. I will go back again. (Hopefully it will become a regular spot for me)

  • 5/5 Julian M. 5 years ago on Google
    some of the best Thai food I have ever tried!

  • 1/5 Yessenia T. 4 years ago on Google
    Not even worth one star. We showed up and it took 15 minutes for someone to come over and bring water and acknowledge we were even there. Once we ordered the food took about 45 minutes to come out and it was COLD when it arrived. It wasn’t even lukewarm, it was cold. I told the server that and he took the food back and said they would heat it up. 40 minutes later and we still had no food. We got up and left. There were multiple people there that were having issues as well. A couple people left because they weren’t getting helped and people kept coming back with to go orders saying items were missed. It’s a complete mess in there and I do not recommend it to anyone. Unless you have time to sit for over 2 hours and eat cold food.

  • 5/5 Christie W. 3 years ago on Google
    The green curry was delicious! I'll definitely eat here again.

  • 5/5 Melissa W. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food every time. Great contactless pickup process right now which I really appreciate. Very highly recommend!

  • 2/5 Mark L. 3 years ago on Google
    Don’t get the spring rolls. It’s just a whole lot of lettuce wrapped in rice paper with a tiny shrimp. Don’t get the pad siew. Very bland. Curry noodles were good, but this is the second time I leave here with bubbly guts

  • 5/5 Illia W. 3 years ago on Google
    This was delicious! They only did takeout so they had an interesting set up outside the restaurant door. It said it was open but no one was in sight so we called, and they came out. I think they prefer calling in or ordering online then picking up.

  • 4/5 Chris H. 3 years ago on Google
    Drunken noodles were great! Pad Thai was pretty typical, nothing too mind blowing. Would be happily eat here again!

  • 5/5 Ryan T. 4 years ago on Google
    Best Thai food in slc. Hidden gem for sure!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth F. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious! The Curry Noodles is very flavorful with a little kick and the Pad Thai is wonderfully light. Highly recommended! Safe pick-up service as well.

  • 5/5 Haley H. 3 years ago on Google
    This is some of the best Thai food I’ve had in Utah!

  • 5/5 Alex H. 3 years ago on Google
    The food here is excellent and the service is fast. They've adapted really well to social distancing and have excellent customer service for takeout orders.

  • 5/5 Maureen R. 4 years ago on Google
    Massaman Curry is one of my favorites, but everything I’ve had is good. This place is a little gem.

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food and amazing service! I had a lovely time at this local spot.

  • 5/5 Laura B. 4 years ago on Google
    Nuan’s has consistently delicious food and excellent service. I love the Pad Prik King with tofu and the mango sticky rice. I could it eat every day.

  • 5/5 angelica yslas d. 4 years ago on Google
    This is our favorite place to eat out! Clean, quaint, great service, and always fresh & delious food. We always leave so happy and satisfied. Thank you nuans kitchen for always making date night so yummy 😋

  • 5/5 Julio M. 4 years ago on Google
    I'm not one for yellow curry, it reminds me of top ramen. However, the red curry was phenomenal, needed more spice. I will definitely be back to try the green curry seeing as it has a level 3 rating.

  • 5/5 Peter H. 4 years ago on Google
    Didn't know about this place until recently. I got the spicy vegetable stir fry. Great heat level and delicious sauces.

  • 5/5 Kyle R. 4 years ago on Google
    Best Thai in Salt Lake

  • 5/5 Nakarin K. 4 years ago on Google
    The taste is really really good. I would say that the food here is quite authentic. With great service as well!

  • 4/5 Alexander S. 4 years ago on Google
    The massuman curry was really tasty it just could have been a little hotter temperature wise.

  • 5/5 Bradford D. 4 years ago on Google
    Some of the best Thai food I've had in Utah.
