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.
I had ordered Korean Bibimbap Rice, Drunken noodles and Crab Rangoon. It was good, I liked the portion size and taste. Drunken noodles were lil sticky but overall loved it. I’m posting review because I saw a lot of negative reviews which I don’t think is true. You should definitely try once! :)
