I had a solid, but rather underseasoned, yellow curry.

I love this place! We come here often and the food always hits. Whether you order dine-in or take-out, the food is ready in 10 mins tops. Options are affordable and the staff is always nice. We got the tom yum noodle soup with pork, the dry noodles and banana sticky rice. The soup was sour and spicy with lots of bean sprouts and ground pork. The dry noodles has squid, shrimp and fishballs. The sticky rice was wrapped in banana leaf (i think) and was steaming hot and sweet! Both meals were around $15. Portion sizes are also big! There's indoor and outdoor seating. Can't recommend this place enough for a quick, affordable and satisfying meal!!

The pad see ew with crispy chicken is my favorite, it’s definitely on the more oily side among the Thai restaurants I’ve eaten at, but it’s definitely to my taste

Just about everything can be made vegan, and we got pad Thai and tom yum soup. Both were delicious! The soup broth was perfectly seasoned with a perfect balance of salt and acid, and it had a lovely assortment of perfectly cooked veggies.
Service is casual: you order and pay at the counter, and your food is brought to you. There is no table service, but staff were great!

We come here all the time and it is always excellent. We often get the pineapple fried rice and Panang curry. The crispy chicken is great in either of these. The service is great and they create a very friendly atmosphere.

I've visited this place frequently over the last few months because of the good value and taste of the food. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was ruined by a major hygiene issue: I found a cockroach in my noodle soup. I cannot recommend this place until they make significant improvements to their sanitary standards.

Best Thai food spot in Boston. Outdoor seating, crispy chicken, good service nice people, affordable prices. The only thing would be the door is impossible to open due to the wind tunnel. Though they cant control this haha. Otherwise, best spot in Boston hands down!
Delicious! I've been twice for my lunch break and got taken out. I was able to order, walk over and the food was already done! I got the fried chicken pad thai each time. The first time it blew my mind how good it was and I ate the whole thing in one sitting. The second time was still good but the chicken seemed a little overcooked. I also got potato puffs (flavor really good) but they seemed a little dark , it felt like maybe the fryer oil was too high or needed to be changed. Definitely a good spot though and will be back again for some good lunch.
The last photo was from when I had it the first time!
