Tucked away in a cosy corner of Taman Mount Austin and Pelangi, NomNom JB brings authentic Thai flavours to Johor Bahru, helmed by a native Thai chef who ensures every dish delivers bold, genuine flavour. The restaurant’s retro, vintage-inspired interior creates a relaxed, Instagram-worthy setting perfect for casual gatherings or a comforting meal with friends and family.
What to Order
Diners rave about the Clear Tom Yum Soup (MYR58) for its perfect balance of spicy and sour, featuring juicy prawns and squid. Prefer the soup milder or spicier? Just ask, and the staff are more than happy to adjust the spice level to match your tolerance. We also ordered the Crispy Thai Omelette (MYR28) as recommended by the staff, which wasn’t too greasy. To further elevate the crunchy Thai Omelette, we highly suggest dunking it into the Tom Yum Soup for a burst of flavour. One dish that stood out was the tender Stir-fried Beef (MYR88) with addictive yet crispy garlic.
What’s Thai food without the classics? Don’t forget to order the fragrant Pineapple Fried Rice (MYR48), a perfect balance of sweet and savoury, or the Classic Pad Thai (MYR32) packed with bold and tangy flavours. If you’re a seafood lover, a must-try is the Fried Sea Bass with Mixed Herbs and Lemongrass (MYR75), highly recommended for sharing among 3-4 pax and the Crispy Prawns in Tamarind Glaze (MYR48), so delectable that you’ll be reaching for another in seconds.
Two drinks worth trying are the Tom Yum Cooler (MYR12) if you’re feeling adventurous and the Classic Thai milk tea (MYR9) if you want something safer. Plus, it now comes with a dreamy cloud top for all the aesthetic girlies.
Intrigued to indulge in this hearty yet classy meal? Make your reservations here for the Mount Austin outlet and here for the Pelangi outlet! Walk-ins are available, though it’s worth noting that peak hours can mean a bit of a wait.
