"Very disappointed. Texture was horrid and food was tasteless.Annoyed that i had to give you a star just to write my review. So i gave you one. I have never eaten at a restaurant where they served dried cheap tofu, especially in an up market location as Dorchester. It was my first time in Dorchester and I arrived in the evening over the weekend. I was shocked. I had just visited a friend and I was about to drive home. I love eating Thai food and was feeling very hungry. I prefer Thai food to Indian or Chinese food. Because the Thai food is delicately fragrance but with lots of different flavours and nicely garnished. I arrived out of the very cold that evening. The restaurant was not very busy. I sat down and knew what I wanted to eat. I am vegetarian and so I ordered a tofu starter. I was not impressed with the high price of the menu. No need. I have eaten Thai food in a restaurant a lot and do not see why this restaurant should charge extortionately high because the area is supposedly a big town centre where houses are slightly under the value of London. So, I ordered a side order of Jasmine rice. I was expecting the soft white tofu, nicely season in a seasoned sauce. When the starter arrived with a tiny bowl of rice, It looked more like sticky boiled rice and not Jasmine rice and horrified to see dried cheap tofu. I should have put up a fuss as I would never have expected to eat that dried textured tofu. It needs to be soaked for at least five hours and cooked in a flavoured sauce. I've purchased it once. From Holland and Barrett, a 375g bag at £1.99. Never again.It is a horrible texture. Not what you expect to be served in a posh location or even in a restaurant. This restaurant could not have soaked it long enough. Then, they deep fried them. The tofu texture was like eating deep friend flavourless bread. I eat three bits only. I then poured what little sauce there was in the tiny bowls over my sticky rice and quickly eat some of it then stood up. The English teenage waitress arrived, I told her that was vile. I walked over to quickly pay for my food and left. I would have expected her to show some concern as i hardly eat the food. Possibly because i did not look like i was a local. Well, I was born in London. I am not a foreigner.NO phone or WiFi signalThe starter cost nearly £7.00 and side order of sticky rice cost nearly £3.00 OMG. And it was not what I ordered, jasmine rice was not worth the price. Shocked. And to think that I was going to purchased a portion of vegan fish and chips. I really wish that I had."

We needed a quick at-home meal and Thai Nakorn easily met our expectations. They prepared a very nice Thai Green Curry that hit the spot. Recommend!

I was staying at the hotel next door, and this was recommended. It was pretty empty, though it was mid-week, so I gave it a go. Had a prawn curry special dish which was really delicious, along with fried rice. If I hadn't missed out on lunch, I couldn't have eaten it all as the portion size was huge. The prawns were shell-on in the spicy sauce, so fingers got very messy; a finger bowl would have been a good idea.Staff were lovely and seemed to take real pride in diners' enjoyment of their food
