Highly recommend! Food tastes great, and portion size is generous. Good service, nice ambiance, and the metal soup spoons are reminiscent of the food stalls in Thailand.

We were looking for a Thai place close to the hotel we were staying at in Langley, and we came across Naka Bistro and decided to try it out. There is ample parking, and the location of the restaurant was not in a busy area. The ambiance is classy and quiet, with authentic decoration to Thailand and Laos. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. Now, the food. The food was very delicious! Great portion sizes and priced in the mid-range area. If we lived in the area, I'd definitely return. Would highly recommend!

First time - great experience. Pad Thai, chicken Cashew and Spring Rolls all were great. Service was quick, food was hot, no complaints. Parking lot is a bit awkward, but lots of spots. Delivery is next on the list!

Best Thai place in town. Fresh shrimp paradise was delicious, their curry is full of goodies and Pineapple chicken rice was divine. Gotta try fried banana Icecream for desert. Such a wonderful atmosphere, and great service! My first 5/5 place!

2nd review: the flavours are all there - rich and robust. Portions are still on the smaller side, but presentation is nice and food is decent. Ambience and service is great. Although I wouldn't come here often, I would come here once in awhile since it's the only Lao restaurant in the lower mainland. 1st review: The flavours are alright. The portion is smaller and doesn't justify the price. The ambience is nice.

I don t know how this place has high reviews. Nice place and good service but the food was absolutely horrible. Had to throw most of it out. Crying tiger salad: no flavor, tough beef. Red Curry: flavorless. Pad Thai: not too bad but not worth paying for.

This was our first time to Naka but won t be our last. The food was fantastic! We had yellow curry, pineapple fried rice, cashew chicken and drunken noodles. They were all great. The service was sooo good. 2 very friendly servers who were amazing at their jobs. Do yourself a favour and give Naka a try.

I came with my family and ordered pad Thai, Mamas Tom Yum, and crispy rice lettuce wraps. The crispy rice lettuce wraps were tasty and flavorful but we found the pad Thai too sweet and saucy. It was probably the worst pad Thai weve ever tasted and we didnt end up eating it. It was way too sweet and nothing like how pad Thai should be. After having the tom yum we all felt kind off from eating it because it was quite heavy and sweet as well. The service was incredibly slow here as they brought each dish out one by one. The restaurant was less than half filled but everything took a while to come out of the kitchen. We will likely will not be returning.

Best restaurant around!! Very friendly and quick service and absolutely delicious food. I had the Pad Ped, my wife had the Crying Tiger and my son had the Pad Thai. My other kid had something else I don t remember. All of the dishes were very tasty and seasoned just right. We finished with the mango and sticky rice which was a delight. IMHO this is much better than Ban Chok Dee. The only thing better there is the ambiance; Naka s interior is not quite as nice. But honestly, with food this tasty, I don t care what the place looks like we re definitely coming back for more.

The papaya salad tasted like fermented vinegar, the sausage was weird and the jerky was not good. I suppose its an acquired taste. I went with my sister and her mate.. they ordered a bunch of appetizers which they shared with me as I could not eat my dinner. The appetizers were good. Its rare that I dont take a doggie bag home but I left my $32.00 dinner on the table

Wanted to try Lao cuisine for the first time. Was very pleasantly surprised to find out that it is delicious!! Had Laap and Crying Tiger - the beef was perfectly marinaded and cooked. Was able to ask server for food to be prepared with less spice, which it was. Sticky rice was super sticky but delicious! Had peanut sauce on the side - amazing flavour. Serving staff were very friendly and helpful in identifying which dishes to try. Finished the meal with Naam Vaan - fruit and jelly in coconut sauce. It was fantastic. 100% recommend this restaurant!!

Naka bistro is 45 minutes from Vancouver but the Laotian/Thai food on offer here is so good, that a true foodie would make the trip to the Fraser Hwy location. When I am back in town visiting my parents in Surrey, I visit Naka at least once a week. Naka makes the best Laotian food in the Lower Mainland. My favorite Laotian dishes are the Nem Khao (crispy rice lettuce wrap with spices, shredded coconut, cured pork, fresh herbs and sour lime juice), Kao Piak Sen (noodles in soup topped with chicken, green onions, dried garlic flakes and cilantro), and Sai Gok (Laotian pork sausages with spicy chilli dip and sticky rice) If you are less adventurous, the Pad Thai and Pad See Iw are solid choices and the Curry chicken is very good. But I strongly encourage you to pick from the Laotian specialties. It s some of the best Asian food in the Greater Vancouver area.

I think it s time to up my spice tolerance. This place is legit spicy. From the outside, this unassuming blocky building hides a culinary treat. Step inside and it s a different world. Cute decorations line the walls. The food was amazing. The Thai milk tea was a sweet start. The Laap was a delightful kick in the senses. It s my kind of salad. Mango Stick Rice was probably as good as anything I ve had outside of Southeast Asia. One point of note for anyone taller than 1.8m when using the washrooms - duck

Okay so drove by this place so many times and them I finally decided to try it randomly one day and WOW! Let me just say the first time I went there originally I just going to get one thing but everything was soo good I decided to keep trying things on the menu to see if there was something I did not like and nope everything is amazing. Prepared with care and tastes soo good. Every time someone is thinking of a place to eat in Langley I recommend this place. The service and staff are great. Down to eart, nice and always have great recommendations. This time I had the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, Salad Rolls, Coconut Rice and the Thai Iced Green Tea and Passion Iced Tea everything was excellent. So good! love this place highly recommend it if you like fresh high quality good food. OH YEA! AND TRY THE DESERT! We got the fried banana & iced cream with caramel and chocolate drizzle! Simple but so good!!

Ive ordered from Naka a few times with UberEats, and have never had any issues. Tonight, I dined in with my family for my birthday, and had a very disappointing visit. When they brought out the food, they did not bring out my meal, or another family members. We asked the server, and she said that she would go check with the kitchen. Almost 20 minutes later, our food had still not come out, and the rest of the table was done eating. During this time, multiple other tables had food brought to them. We asked the server to cancel our order, as we were tired of waiting, and she did- making it seem as if our order still hadnt been put in. We were offered no apology, and still ended up paying over $100 for the rest of the food. Super disappointing, as this was my birthday dinner, and I left having gotten no food.

Looks like I have to amend my former 5-star review. I have been going to Naka since they were a tiny place located on the one-way in langley city. Over the years they switched to a couple different locations. I m not sure what happened but ever since they opened up in their new (third) location, the quality of the food has dropped drastically. Every time we go it seems to get worse and worse. The two Pad Thai s I received last night were almost inedible. Too much sauce and sickly sweet. Just a big clump of mushy noodles. Incredibly disappointing. Needless to say, I think Naka has lost my business and the friends and family I would bring there. Not sure what happened to you guys but I m sad for sure. Used to have really amazing food

Update **** Thank you for reaching out and offering a solution, nice to see you care/acknowledge loyal customers :) Use to frequent this restaurant a lot back at their previous locations. Did take out, Uber Eats, dine in, amazing food. Now with this new location the food is horrible. When they first opened we complained and they said they have a new chef. Ordered through Uber Eats tonight and the food was so bad, fried rice had 0 taste/flavour and the spring rolls were burnt/oily and tasted like nothing. Waste of money and will never go back. Very disappointed in my dinner :( Hard to believe its the same restaurant I used to love.

I ordered pickup over the phone. This place charges 50 cents for a plastic cup and $1 for a paper bag when ordering take out. In greater vancouver, there is currently no minimum fee for plastic cups and a minimum 25 cent charge for paper bags. Outrageous. Ordered the lunch special cashew chicken, it was ok, chicken tasted a bit over cooked (dry), could use more spice. BRING YOUR OWN BAG AND REFUSE TO PAY THE CUP FEE OVERCHARGE!

Updated review: after ordering takeout multiple times during COVID, I decided to stop by for dinner tonight. After being seated, the server completely ignored me. She was not busy, offering to pack up guests food and socializing, while I sat there with a closed menu, waiting for even a water or an Ill be right with you. Not sure if they have new staff but this server was clearly very young and immature and it was reflected in her lack of customer service skills. She didnt even notice me getting up and leaving, as she was too engrossed in her friends. The best thing about this place was that family-run vibe. Hopefully you find a way to bring it back or youll continue to lose business. Excellent food, but sorry to say, the service has gone downhill.

This place is legit. Ive been craving nem khao since Ive moved to BC and ended up finding this place. Their lao style papaya salad is god like and had me going back to my time in Portland and San Diego. I love how they dont mess around with heat. I ordered 6 chilis the other day and was seriously questioning my lifes choices. I had gotten up to 5 before and wanted to see how far I could go. I got an answer. My body was sweating so much I got cold, and my mind was telling me I was sick. But it was just the fiery heat cleansing out my sins and impurities. I made it through. Their sausages are also fantastic. Im looking forward to going through their menu, especially on the Lao side!

It s frustrating this Friday night, i was very excited to bring my family because nakabistro reopen already. We re old customer already and we keep coming in this location but I don t know what happened we we re waiting our food for more than 15 minutes already. Kids are all starving so i ask to follow up our order for 2 times. It was worst waiting and serving our foods 1 by 1. While were having our main dishes I asked the server to prepare our dessert thinking that it will not gonna take so long again we re done eating, still waiting for the dessert to serve for more than 15 minutes longer. It was humiliated first our waiting time is longer; secondly the rice is uncooked; thirdly our dessert didn t serve. All the girls in cashier didn t even apologize. I spent more than 50 s and this is all we got. Im not gonna to recommend this location to my friends this is the worst restaurant we had.

Good food and drinks but we definitely experienced hiccups. At one point the food was coming in a timely manner but then they forgot our chicken skewers, apologized and told us it d be another 10 minutes. Ordered dessert and that took another 20 minutes for us to flag someone down to ask if it was still coming and 2 minutes later it makes its way out I don t understand how the chefs work back there but reading the other reviews I m clearly not alone. And I m sorry to say this but with the lag in food and the Clueless cast working there, I don t see the business thriving long term and it s a total shame cause it has potential. How can the owner be oblivious to this?

Didn t have a good experience tonight. I ordered noodles without green onions and cilantro and it came with it so I let them know. They literally picked some off and left some in my bowl instead of making a new one I could taste the cilantro inside my soup.

Ordered the Pad Thai via Uber last night. Extremely dissapointed. Ordered from here, seeing all the great reviews. Not at all impressed. The noodles were all clummped up, the sauce was extremely sweet for a dish. All I had was the chicken bits and threw away the rest. Not worth for $22!!

5 stars because I have nothing to complain about. We wanted to try something Thai in Langley and my 13 year old made this suggestion based on Google reviews. What a pleasant surprise. From the outside, I wasnt even sure if restaurant was open as the windows were tinted. We ordered 3 items to share between the three of us. Pad thai because shes been asking for it, chicken satay and the nem khao. The chicken satay was delicious- the peanut sauce and this vinegary Cucumber salad completed the dish. Pad thai lunch item was great and included a small salad and spring roll. We ordered nem khao based on the photo on the menu - a crispy rice used as a filling for lettuce wrap. The dish came with half a head of lettuce, fresh and crispy! Im wondering when I can come back to try the other items. Service was great!

Came here with a 9-month old kid and had a great time. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the food was great! I used to dislike Pad Thai, but they changed my mind. Highly recommend to everyone visiting Langley. Unfortunately my taste buds don t agree with Lao cuisine , otherwise a perfect place to try authentic Thai food.

Ive enjoyed Naka Bistro every time I visited over the years. A family run restaurant has always had flavourful food and wonderful lunch specials. When they closed business at their previous location, I felt like I had lost a friend. When I recently discovered that they ha e moved to a new larger location a few blocks from their old place, I was very pleased. I have now been to the new location three times in the last few months. The food quality is still wonderful, and the service is friendly and prompt. The prices have increased noticeably, but that seems the case for all restaurants post covid lockdown. Im glad to be able to enjoy the food and service again.

I went here with my wife last Friday. It was ohr first date night since our kids were born. Almost 5 years. This was an amazing experience. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was AMAZING!!!! I had never had thai or lao food before and it was just phenomenal. The crab rangoon was the best as well at the nem khao for appetizers. They were out of the crab rangoon when we ordered it as they premake it and had run out. When they found out it was out first date night in years they had made a special order for us. It meant so much. I had the Tom Kehn for an entree which was also amazing and my wife had the green curry which she loved. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you are looking for a great dining experience. We will DEFINITELY be coming back and I encourage everyone to give it a try! 10 stars. Lol

First off, I want to preface this with some of my friends are Laos. Due to that, I ve had many opportunities for delicious Lao and Thai foods so I have high expectations. Service wise the servers are friendly and on top of their game. The food came out quickly and was pretty good. My favorite was the nem khao which isn t surprising because I m a big nem kh o fan. For those that don t know, that s like a crunchy fried rice with nem that you eat with lettuce wraps. Naka makes it well enough. Though my favorite Lao spot continues to be Taurus Ox back home in Seattle. The Lao platter is a good way to try different Lao dishes in one go. I personally didn t care for the pork rinds. The papaya salad was good. My son as usual loved his sticky rice with seen savanh (Lao beef jerky). The Phad Thai was sweet but good overall. Chicken satay felt dry and sauces not super flavorful. The Lao sausage was decent enough. Naka Bistro is good for: Large groups Kid friendly options for kids who enjoy Asian foods Final rating: I d come back but it s not a spot I d go out of my way for. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian friendly options per the menu Parking: They had a lot to the side of the restaurant though I m not sure if they had additional parking in the back as well.

Food was excellent. Service was not. Had an empty glass for more than half the time I was there. 5 or 6 servers. 3 are playing with their hair behind the bar. Its unfortunate that a great culinary experience can be ruined with poor service. Obviously lacking some experience and leadership front of house. Will try again at some point.

First time visiting this lovely restaurant, lots of ambiance and very flavourful food, with some dishes from the Laos region I feel they may have made some of the dishes with meat from the thighs which made it much tastier.

Very disappointed. The 2 dishes (Pad See Ew and Drunken Noodles) we ordered via Door Dash came as a big lump of mushed up chicken, flat noodles, and mushy vegetables. Couldnt really tell what it was supposed to be. The pictures on the web site look a lot different from the glomp we received. This is very unfortunate as we had Naka Bistro food a few years ago and it was fresh and tastey.

I swear Ive written a review of this place before. I have nothing but good things to say. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The food is great. This time, we ordered pad thai, chicken wings, crab rangoon, lettuce wrap, and green curry. I find the spice level of the curry was not consistent with the last time I had visited. I could not handle the spice this time, so we barely ate it and left it for takeaway. Everything else was consistent. Well def be back when were in the area.

We ordered takeout on a Friday night, they told us it would be about an hour - 70 minutes. We showed up at 70 minutes and they seemed to have forgotten to put our order in .. so we had to wait another 20 minutes for our food. Mistakes happen but I was more disappointed in how they handled it? They got really frazzled and tried to suggest it was just backed up but they didn t even have my order or name in their system when we got there so I think they were trying to cover for the fact that they forgot to make it. No discount or anything was offered to us either.

December 22, 2022

This is definitely one of the worst restaurants Ive eaten at. They made me wait over an hour for my order and brings everyones meals at the table at different times and very long times between. The food is very disappointing considering the wait. First and last visit for me!

Delectable Thai and Laotian food! If you are in Langley area and craving for some Thai food, this place is where you should be heading. We ordered a handful of dishes and all of them were just mouth-wateringly amazing! The drinks were not all that great but the food... They will more than make up for everything! Easily one of the best Thai restaurants I have dined in my life! You should try their Drunken noodles, Pad See Euw, Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice. Remember to go here with you a good appetite because you will need it! As for ambience, its a cozy little place with an open architecture. Food presentation and portion size are something the restaurant has mastered. Service is great too with a bunch of friendly waitresses. Make sure you put this restaurant on your must-visit list.

the food is awesome, cant complain. the only thing i have against this place is that waitress. (anita) i came there with some friends and she was our waitress. she knew one of our friends that wasnt there and decided to go off on how she didnt like our friend and saying a bunch of negative stuff about them. i dont personally dont know her and it kinda made us feel uncomfortable. we arent coming back to the restaurant because of that reason and i personally dont think she should be working at a place like this. the food is awesome and the other waitresses are awesome but that was a bad experience for us.

We always enjoy going to this place and today was not one of those. We are supposed to celebrate a bday and 5 couples patiently waited and we decided to break our group into two so that we can have a table as quick as possible. A staff told us that they need to charge us 18% service charge since we are a group of 10. Its funny that we are already told of the charge even before we are seated and she starts raising her voice to us. She said they have the right to refuse us service. We decidedbto leave and went to Baan Chok Dee and enjoyed our meal without any fuzz. I hope the owners will know how the staff treat the customers. Its really sad because we always enjoy our time there.

Authentic Thai foods (and Laotian, of course) which are hard to find. Most of Thai restaurants cater the same food options, but this place does not. Very enjoyable every single bite!
