A couple of months ago, it was reported that a Thai restaurant that was known for its buffet had closed, and now we have learned that the people behind it have converted the place into another type of Thai spot.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Nakhon is now open in Brighton, replacing Rice Away Thai Express on Washington Street. The new restaurant features Southern Thai halal cuisine, as was first mentioned by Boston Magazine (which states that it debuted last month). Some of the items on the menu include curry pancakes, steamed shrimp and chicken dumplings, curry rice and spicy and sour sauce, ground chicken and shrimp in chili paste, fried whole striped bass fish, a spicy and sour beef stew, crab meat in coconut curry, and turmeric chicken soup, crispy, duck, drunken noodle, and squid ink fried rice.
The address for Nakhon is 296 Washington Street, Brighton, MA, 02135. Its Instagram page can be found at https://www.instagram.com/nakhonboston
