I took a friend and colleague here for lunch yesterday we had a working meeting here. Amazing Food, Amazing Service, Casual Setting. Genuinely the Best Panang Curry I have had in the state. If I still lived in Cambridge I would be here for lunch twice a week. Cant believe it wasn't packed, Cant wait to be back!
To the Team and Owners, Keep doing what you're doing Wishing you every Success!

I ordered takeout for the first time
The food tasted great but my beef curry was very light
Pictured you can see the beef curry I ordered. The beef curry part of the meal was a pretty small portion and I was disappointed as it tasted fantastic.
I probably won't be ordering takeout in the future but I may try dining in to see if portions are better

No potatoes in the massaman curry, and it had the texture of water. The beef was overcooked and chewy. The rice was totally fine though! The pad kee mao came with cherry tomatoes oddly, and also had a thick odd taste. Would not recommend those dishes.

The food was delicious. A little bat restaurant, nothing fancy just right.

Went for a quick bite today and they offered the yummiest Moo Dang!! I am going back for more! The food is well prepared, and the turn around time is so fast! The staff is so polite and sweet and the food hits the taste buds just right. Affordable and so worth your time.

I stopped by this Thai restaurant in Cambridge, MA for a quick dinner. The ambiance was fairly standard—nothing particularly memorable. I ordered the red curry chicken with rice, and the food arrived impressively fast. The portion size was just right, and the curry was served piping hot—exactly how I like it.
That said, the curry sauce lacked richness. It was a bit too watery, and it seemed light on coconut milk, which left it feeling thin rather than full-bodied. Flavor-wise, it was decent, but didn’t quite hit the mark.
One downside was the the way green beans were cooked in the curry. There were plenty, but they were undercooked and overly crunchy, which threw off the texture of the dish. That detail alone kept this meal from earning five stars.
On a brighter note, the service was excellent—attentive and friendly throughout.

Really good food and very nice owners. If you like authentic Thai food this is definitely a place to check out. I highly recommend the Khao Soi dish.

A gem around the corner. The waiter has a kind twinkle in his eyes.
If you are a fan of curry, order the Khao Soi noodles. My choice of protein were shrimp and chicken. The amazing flavor caught me off guard. Super delicious and affordable!
