Welcome to Nahm Thai

For once, a place that does modern, funky and fresh Thai, not your usual run of the mill stuff from your local Thai restaurant. The food is jam packed with chili and fresh herbs and presented nicely on interesting shaped plates. For entree we had egg net and duck rolls, and marron with caviar and eggplant salad. The duck rolls were nice but unfortunately there was a little too much chili in the eggplant salad, to the point that I could not taste any of the other flavours. Mains were duck red curry which was superb and pork hock which unfortunately was more fat than pork. Desert was key lime tart with 'vanilla bean' ice cream which I suspect was actually just vanilla ice cream from a tub. As I said, however, a nice, fresh take on modern Thai

For the 1hr 15min that we were at Nahm Thai, we had three different waitpeople approach our table to encourage us to order our meals 'so the kitchen could prepare.' Service was friendly & prompt, with food arriving faster than Hans Cafe, but I think it was to do with the fact they wanted our table.

The feel of the restaurant is cosy and intimate, however due to the limited space, tables are close together making it hard to hear your dinner companions. Decor is clean and simple with nicely set tables.

I feel like Nahm Thai priorities quantity for quality. Double booking tables on a Saturday night meant that my partner and I (who love taking our time when perusing the menu) were literally told we had to leave by 8.15, giving us 1 hour and 15minures to eat 3 entrees, 2 mains, 2deserts & a bottle of wine. As I hurriedly ate my meal (with a line of 10 waiting customers eying up our table) I wondered how much better the meal would have tasted if I were actually permitted the time to enjoy eating it.

Food was still terrific - the softshell crab is an absolute must! The taste of all dishes was superb and worthy of returning.

We had to take a 630 booking (no 830 available)and the difference was noticeable from our last visit a month ago. All dishes were on one plate rather than separated for each diner. This meant trying to ensure we weren't taking too much (or not enough). The service was definitely lacking this time

Ambience was pleasant enough as it wasn't packed like last time and we had room at out table.

The service for the 630 session was hugely different which was disappointing. For these prices I don't expect to be serving myself from a group plate or pouring my own wine or having to wave staff down to get their attention. Food still a winner but felt a bit like a second rate customer at the 630 session.

Bliss!! We had the set Menu - prawn & green pawpaw salad was good, scallop on shell was great, trout on betele leaf was yum and I could have eaten the softshell crab & watermelon all night - what a delight! And these were just the entrees! The main of salmon & scallop (superb), pork (average) and beef (succulent) were only really let down by the rubbery rice. Ingredients were FRESH and filled with flavour - we were in Thai Heaven.

Service was attentive and helpful.

We were cramped into a corner and for me to get out to visit the ladies was a major effort. Originally we had booked for 8 and I changed the booking to 5 the day before so hate to think how it would have been then! And it is very very loud. Decore pleasant.

We fully intend on returning for the food - it is one of the best that we have ever visited and we dine out a lot. Even the small wine list offered an interesting selection. Book ahead though as word has spread

Excellent. Highly recommend the soft shell crab and the quail. The lime tart was to die for, it melts in your mouth. The vanilla ice-cream as an accompaniment supplemented the dessert well.

Excellent, it was prompt and the waiters were attentive.

Romantic without the harsh lighting that one often gets at most Thai restaurants.

Definitely would recommend this place to adventurous food seekers wanting more than just the conventional Thai food experience. Overall, the food tickled my tastebuds and that is something I look for when going out for Thai. The chef has done well in making this a "must go" neo-Thai restaurant.

Entree of softshell crab with grilled watermelon - 10/10
Shared a main of cuttlefish with grapefruit - not as good but still very nice, and the red duck lychee curry - 20/10! One of the best meals I've ever eaten, and quite easily the best Thai ever.

I dine out A LOT, and this has to be up there with one of the better meals I've had in Perth. Will be returning here quite often I'd say.

Attentive without being obtrusive, very good.

Great, even for a Wednesday night. The place was booked out, and had a great ambience.

Worthy of the gold plate they have received.

Absolutely delicious. The galloping horses were divine, and we had a 'special' soft shell crab entree which was also out of this world. The other two people I was dining with had the pork hock for main and I had the red curry with roast duck and lychees. The curry was incredibly tasty, although the portion size was quite small. Can't really complain though because the flavour was quite intense, you would probably feel a little queasy if you ate any more of it.

Service was unobtrusive, but attentive.

Lovely place to go with a couple of friends.

I can't quite believe this hasn't been reviewed. This is the closest to Sailor's Thai (Sydney) that you can get in Perth. We have recommended this restaurant to many friends - some of whom already know the 'secret'. This is word of mouth food. You think about it the next day. Don't come here if you want the neighbourhood thai green chicken curry; come here if you want a tastebud experience. First class.

Excellent. No flamboyance, which is great. A true family affair and really enjoyable.

There are a lot of tables and not much room. Ambience is limited, but pleasant. It's all about the food - it's not unusual to talk to the table next to you to share the experience. It's that kind of place.

Outstanding. Book - well in advance - it's worth it.
