Editor’s Note
Last updated 30 May 2026
Our take on Nakhon Kitchen at Compass One is that it remains a reliable option for affordable Thai food, consistently drawing crowds.
We see a strong emphasis on value for money, with dishes like the Basil Chicken Rice and Tom Kha Soup frequently highlighted for their flavour and portion sizes.
The Tom Kha Soup, in particular, is often praised for being savory, creamy, and well-balanced, even if it sometimes comes with just a single prawn.
While some find the food to be a 'Singaporeanised' version of Thai cuisine, others appreciate its consistency and consider it a staple.
We note that the authentic ambiance, complete with Thai music and servers, contributes positively to the dining experience.
However, be prepared for significant queues during peak meal times, with wait times of 20-30 minutes being common.
Service can also be slower during these periods.
We recommend visiting during off-peak hours, ideally before 5:00 PM for dinner, to avoid the legendary queues.
It's a solid choice for a quick and cheap Thai fix, but perhaps not a destination for an elevated culinary experience.

What customers say
Nakhon Kitchen at Compass One is consistently praised for its authentic Thai ambiance and generally delicious, value-for-money food, with many customers noting the quality has been maintained over the years.
However, long queues during peak hours are a common deterrent, and some dishes like the Tom Yum soup or Pad Thai can be inconsistent or overly sweet for some palates, with occasional issues like fully cooked egg yolks or disproportionate ingredients.

Value for money with affordable Thai food. The tom yum soup was too sweet for my taste. The green beans outweighed the beef. The Pad Thai was average. Overall, an average experience.
Good value for money Thai food, affordable but tastes like what you’d get anywhere else in Singapore. Definitely not comparable to Thailand in any regard, but serviceable if you want a quick and cheap…
