8 Dinning is located at Condo Link and one of the best Thai restaurant in Nakhon Ratchasima. The owner is “Bus” and was a contestant at Iron Chef Thailand. He is the brother of “Bon”, the owner of 8 Bistro and Fat boy Tavern.
I didn’t know that they have special promotion for street food on lunch time. This is the perfect place to eat quality meals and the price, while higher than street markets, do reflect the quality of the place.
Strangely, not only do they have Thai dishes, but you can eat a burger or a chili dog! Well done…

Do not confuse 8 Dinning (condo link) and 8 Bistro (behind St-Mary’s school) even if they are both great places.

8 Dinning (also known as 8 Dining) is a restaurant concept in Korat that combines Thai street food dishes in a sit-down setting. This hybrid format — restaurant comfort with street food pricing and dishes — has become popular in Thai cities, offering air conditioning and table service for classic hawker stall dishes.
Is there good street food in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat)?
Yes — Korat has excellent street food, particularly Isan dishes. The Hua Ro night market area is the main concentration of street stalls. Morning markets near the old city offer khao tom (congee), fresh curries, and Thai breakfast staples. Lunchtime sees dozens of open-air shophouse restaurants serving rice plates, noodles, and one-dish meals.
How has the Thai restaurant scene changed in Korat over the years?
Korat’s restaurant scene has evolved significantly — from purely traditional Thai shophouse restaurants to a diverse range including Japanese, Korean, fusion, specialty coffee shops, and Western-style casual dining. Shopping malls (Central Korat) have brought food court diversity. Yet traditional Thai street food remains the dominant and best-value option.
What does a typical Thai lunch cost at a street food restaurant in Korat?
A rice plate meal (khao rat kaeng) at a Korat street food shop costs 40–70 THB. Noodle soup (guay teow) runs 35–60 THB. A full lunch with drink at a mid-range Thai restaurant is 100–200 THB. These prices are 20–40% lower than equivalent meals in Bangkok’s non-tourist areas.
