NaKorn
About
NaKorn is a Thai restaurant in downtown Evanston that co-owners Sam Rattanopas and Mina Sudsaard opened in fall 2016 in a former bank building. The name means metropolitan in Thai. The menu pairs old recipes with modern plating, served family-style, and includes duck confit red curry, braised short ribs and a whole crispy branzino. A full bar mixes cocktails that use Thai curries and herbs.
