I really enjoyed my meal today. It was the pork dish with an egg omelet over rice and garnished with seaweed & ginger. Very flavorful. However, as others have mentioned, the employees are quite rude and make you feel rushed. They seem annoyed and are unfriendly. There is very little seating and no public restroom available for customers dining in. I would’ve given them more stars if not for their lacking customer service.
Food is not bad, the sauce is good, but the spicy basil rice is really spicy and in an unnatural way. The crispy pork is unseasoned and not what you'd expect in an authentic thai restaurant. Many reviews complain about the service but I see no problem there. The seats are somehow crowded, and I don't know why there's no AC in Boston's 95°F day - I hope it's just temporarily broken.
Food was pretty good we got the pad thai and drunken noodle lunch special/combos. Lunch special is pretty worth it you can get a large thai tea. However, service wasn’t great. The waiter wasn’t that friendly and had trouble with the prices. We got charged an extra $3 on the chicken drunken noodle and instead of getting 1 crab rangoon and 1 veggie roll we got only crab rangoons. Atmosphere is okay, not much seating though.
