“The food was fresh and fantastic! Service was excellent !“

“Just an absolute gem. A small dining room awaits you with the most amazing people. I brought my son, and one of the employees put on cocomelon for my son to keep him happy.

The food was amazing! I’ve spent a lot of time in Thailand and have to say everything was delicious! Just an excellent place to eat dinner and find your favorite family owned Thai spot!“

“This place deserves beyond 5 star! Best authentic Thai food I’ve tasted! If you’re looking for a family-like home made style place, this is the one! Highly recommend Tom Khar soup, the maliss fresh rolls were super fresh, and of course, the spicy pad Thai. Delicious! Not to mention staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! Definitely coming back!“

“Wasn’t too crowded Sunday 5pm. Absolutely delicious, got the Indonesian rice with crispy chicken and spicy eggplant with tofu. Ate everything as is, couldn’t stop! Would def recommend. Dining room has about 40 seats total. Thai ice tea was also awesome!“

“Great food and great service“

“This has been my go-to thai place for years now, and I stopped by again recently to learn that the food and service are still as amazing as ever! I've tried most of their menu and the food is very customizable and flavorful, and I always order a thai tea too. Overall great good and speedy service (also a bit frustrating to see poor reviews based on delivery issues that the restaurant has no say in)“

“Food was amazing, ordered the hotdog which was MASSIVE and delicious and a side of taro fries. Drinks were great. Only thing was the bartender who served us was a bit pushy and passive aggressive for us to be on our way, which was weird. Otherwise, it was great and would come back!“

“Very flavorful! I first had the bibimbap which was super yummy! Definitely go for the lunch specials--great value and excellent opportunity to try out other dishes. I upgraded to the combo which had 2 crab rangoon and a drink for $2 more.“

“This was my first time going to Soup Shack and I was very impressed. It’s a small place, but the server was very kind and food came out pretty fast. The spicy miso beef ramen was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. Overall, I think I will definitely visit again“

“Normally I’m a traditional Pad Thai or Pad See Ew but I branched out to try the Panang Curry. It was SO GOOD! Definitely reccomend. My table got Pad Thai, Basil Rice and the See Ew and they thought it was great as well! Server was super accommodating and attentive.“

“very good food decent price . will return for more...“

“Thaiger Den in Malden is a great spot for Thai cuisine! The restaurant is warm and inviting, with welcoming staff who make you feel right at home. The staff are constantly checking in on you and making sure your water is always topped off. The decor is stunning—modern, sleek, with gold accents that give it a touch of luxury. Even the bathroom is pristine, with fancy toilets, automated trash cans, soap dispensers, and even high-end toilet paper—it’s clear they pay attention to every detail! The food was amazing. We tried the hot stone wagyu dish, the Khao Soi, the tiger shrimp pad thai, and the ribeye in curry. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The only slight drawback was the timing, as three dishes came out together and the last arrived about 10 minutes later, but the quality more than made up for it. The cocktails were a highlight—creative, strong, and perfectly crafted. The vibe in the restaurant is fantastic, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend checking Thaiger Den out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Very fresh and flavorful food. Friendly staff. Will return to eat in or order take out.“

“Best Thai food in Somerille. Recommend Khao Soi the best“

“I am Thai and I highly recommend trying the Yum Salmon if you enjoy seafood with explosive flavor sauce/dressing instead of plain wasabi, and don’t miss out on the papaya salad for a wonderful balance of flavors. Pair it all with the pandan leaf drink for a complete experience!“

“The Chicken Kao Soi is not only a phenomenal soup, deep and flavorful, but one of the best meals I’ve had in a LONG time!!“

“We made reservations online for the Omaska. It was $300 which broke down to $120 per person with tip and tax. The tables were perfectly space out. They gave us a 2 hour limit which was enough time for the 12 course Omaska. Presentation on everything was amazing. Each course was fresh and delicious in their own way. It was hard to hear the man over his mask so I couldn't get any names. We had uni, tuna belly, scallops, and more. All the Courses were small but packed with favor. You can take there was attention to detail in the ingredients and presentation. Definitely, worth the money was a special event like a birthday. Would definitely come back“

“The food and service were absolutely amazing! Outstanding flavor profiles!“

“The best chicken..:definitely“

“I stopped in here while traveling. Wow, I happened upon a great spot! The place was packed when I walked in around 6pm. People were frequently in and out grabbing to go orders. I knew I must be at a good restaurant and boy was I right! I sat at the bar that was well stocked, unfortunately I couldn't drink this night. I ordered green chicken curry and went to the bathroom, by the time I got back it was sitting on the bar already. I couldn't believe how fast they were. The food was great and staff was friendly. Most restaurants could learn from these folks.“

“This restaurant was amazing! Hidden gem for sure. Parking was limited. But the surrounding area has plenty. Reservations is recommended. Food is authentic and the atmosphere felt like I was in Japan. A large variety at the bar and the food was great. I highly recommend. In the evenings, a nice spot for dates for sure.“

“awesome!!! nice people and great food!! My granddaughter had a competition and they congratulate her like she was a part of their family! every time we walk in she gives the owner a BIGGGG Hug!!! I feel like we are so welcome there!! I definitely recommend this place!! we won't EVER stop going!“

“Have never had bad food tried something new today. Delicious.“

“We’ve been coming here for close to 4 years. I used to live down the street but now make the 35 minute commute from Ashland just to get the food here.

The chicken pad Thai, seafood drunken noodles, red curry, and so many things are UNMATCHED. The service is always quick and extremely friendly.

Would recommend everyone to come here for take out or dine in.“

“The fried pork dumplings The crispy chicken teriyaki fried rice plate The crispy pork belly fried rice plate“

“Popular dinner spot in Cambridge!

The thai food here was SO good and SO affordable! Portions were really generous.

Overall it was very fast and attentive upon seating. However, the wait to be seated took quite a long time despite being 3rd in line, and when it said that our table was ready online, we still had to wait another 15 minutes. Totally understandable though since it was a Saturday night, just reflecting on personal experience.

. Loud, upbeat, and vibey. Interior is very aesthetic and in a tighter space, but super fun and a great place to grab dinner and chat with friends.

Overall, I highly recommend this spot if you are in the Cambridge area.“

“Small corner shop, so service and atmosphere are minimal, but fine considering.

Really it's about the food and the price: excellent flavor, perfectly cooked. Tight menu, and everything is delicious and flavorful. My favorite crab Rangoon so fresh, but honestly it's the pork belly over ginger rice that should bring you in. We come so often!“

“It was very good.. must try..“

“I would recommend it because the food is good but when I ordered they said a half hour I had to sit outside and wait though. when I got there I had to wait outside almost a half hour because they only let one person in the building at a time. I got there about 45 minutes after ordering they told me five or 10 more minutes it took an additional almost 20 minutes. I sat outside in the freezing cold. I did not receive an apology or anything. This is the first time I have not tipped since Covid began.“

“Tried it for the first time - delicious Paid Thai and cold Thai Jasmine Green Tea drink 🥤 is yummy!“

“Green curry was fresh and delicious and the Thai basil rice , not heavy in oil but looks of flavor. Especially for New Year’s Eve. Everything taste very good and fresh.“

“I had been following this restaurant for a long time since I came to Boston area, so I was so excited to be there. As “Uncle Roger” says, “not bad, not bad!”

Creamy Tum Yum Noodle Soup: The Tum Yum soup broth was exactly authentic. It provided a strong taste of both tangy and spicy, exciting my taste buds and increasing my appetite. As for the ingredients, shrimps were fresh and bouncy, char-siu slices were crunchy but not greasy, while the lime added extra zing to the soup.
But to be frank, unfortunately I could still taste the gamey smell from the refrigerated pork, even though it had been that heavily seasoned.“

“Great foods and Great services !!! Stop by and try it out !!!“

“Ordered shrimp + chicken pad thai and tofu red curry for delivery today. Delivery was quick (earlier than Grubhub's ETA), and the delivery person was very polite and appreciative of our business. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were HUGE. I am picky about my pad thai and was favorably impressed by Thai Moon's. Hope my family and I can go here once restaurants open their doors again.“

“- Thai-ny Boat Noodle with Beef ($8): Love that they offer this portion size because the broth can feel too heavy at the regular size. The flavor was rich, and there was a decent amount of protein despite the size.

- Khao Kha Moo ($16.95): I liked the sauce, and the flavor was tasty at first, but I got sick of the mushy texture halfway through. The pork is slow braised, so it is supposed to be tender, but I think using pickled mustard greens rather than Chinese broccoli would have given this dish more dimension and distracted from/balanced out the texture.

- Durian Sticky Rice Coconut ($6.95): A bit expensive for the price but gave it a chance because it was a novel menu item. I was expecting something similar to how mango sticky rice is typically served at Thai restaurants where you get a scoop of rice drizzled with coconut milk and some sliced mango on the side, but this was more like a sticky rice soup with a few durian chunks. The taste wasn’t bad, but it was way too sweet, and there wasn’t enough durian.“

“Great first time !! Will return again !“

“Great food!“

“พอดีซื้อมาลอง 1 กล่องเป็นข้าวมันไก่ผสม อร่อยมาก เหมือนที่เมืองไทยเลย รอไม่นาน 10/10 It is a scrumptious meal for my alone dinner. The taste is original and the portion stuffed me perfectly.“

“Kapow Boston is an authentic Thai restaurant offering rich, flavorful, and delicious Thai cuisine. The restaurant features a wide variety of dishes, carefully prepared with high-quality ingredients to deliver true Thai taste in every bite.

Every dish is well-balanced, aromatic, and full of authentic Thai character. With excellent food quality, diverse menu options, and outstanding service, Kraprao Boston provides a warm and welcoming dining experience that keeps customers coming back again and again.“

“Such a sweet new find! Everything was delicious and reminded me of my time in Thailand! We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!“

“Thai Thani is hands down the best local Thai restaurant in the Norwood area. I've tried other Thai restaurants close by, and Thai Thani is the definitely the best! Their portion sizes are extremely generous and the food is always hot and fresh. The lunch specials are great and anytime I've gotten dinner from there, I always have plenty of leftovers for the next day. The owners are great and are fantastic chefs! My go to is the Tofu Massaman Curry, but their Pad Thai is amazing too! I would highly recommend Thai Thani to anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine. You will not be disappointed!“

“Wow! The Grapao is soooo good—this place is the jackpot. Five stars all the way“

“Highly recommended! Super delicious and nice service :)“

“This place is the REAL Deal. Good portions, AUTHENTIC, Clean place, GREAT menu. Keep up the good work!!!!“

“This restaurant is really awesome. I ordered a tom yum sort of thing that was way too spicy for me. The server was super nice and kept telling me I needed to finish all my food 😅. The food is good but I didn't order the right thing for me, but the service made up for it.“

“Thai place boston is the best place to get great thai food if you are in the area the wait staff is amazing and the food is so good I can’t wait for them to reopen so i can go back!“

“I got the crispy duck curry, some thai hot tea, and a coconut cake for dessert. The curry was delightful and filling, and the cake was moist and not overly sweet. Overall a wonderful meal. The staff were attentive and kind, and the vibe very cozy. Definitely will be back!“

“Somtum is my family's favorite place for takeout when we want to treat ourselves. My husband and I went to Thailand on our honeymoon, and every time we order from here, it takes us back. He's a regular with green curry or drunken noodles. I love the Tom Kha coconut soup and the Larb salad. My kids don't like spice but they love the crispy pad thai. Don't sleep on the Thai iced tea- it should come with a warning label, because it's addictive.“

“We've always wanted to try this place and we finally got a chance to try it. It did not disappoint! We tried the Fresh roll with avocado, red curry, both were great! The drunken noodles stole the show. They were amazing. Great service, ambience. Highly recommended!“

“Honestly what can I say?
This place has been superb for the last five months, so much so that I come by once a week to either have the ' original chicken, plate with soy bean sauce' or the crispy chix which i might add has always been cooked, seasoned, crisp perfectly!!
Its no wonder i keep coming back, the ginger rice that usually goes on the bottom of most protein has never been undercooked or over.
And to top it off; that small potion of broth, clear, garlic infused delight just mixes well at the end of the meal. <3

The Employees are kind, quick, and extremely intentive.

The owner, & his wife are also a wonderful pair when they're both working a shift ^^.

Can't say it enough.
Its affordable, & and worth coming back to!“
