The Vision Behind Nan Thai Buckhead

With the new location comes an exciting menu that stays true to the much-loved classics, like the Whole Snapper 3 Flavor, while introducing new dishes inspired by DeeDee and her mother’s culinary journeys. You can certainly expect a touch of creativity that showcases the flavors of Thailand with a modern twist. But don’t worry; your favorite dishes are still on the menu!

Creative Cocktails to Compliment Your Meal
