Very welcoming. I got there about an hour before closing so I picked my food quickly. I had the Creamy Tum Yum and added a little chili oil to it for some spice. It is a great dish for someone who wants flavor with little to no heat. There was plenty of pork and two shrimp tails. I also had the Thai Tea which from the picture in the menu I was worried was a premade mix. Instead it came out fresh and required me to swirl it around to blend the cream. Perfect flavor and temperature. Not overly sweet like some places make it.
The atmosphere was laid back with some cool art work on the walls. Definitely gave a college town feel. The bathroom could use some work. It wasn't scary. It was clean and well stocked but it is definitely on the back burner when it comes to decorating.
I'm surprised they don't have merchandise. Their logo would be a cool patch on a hat. Seems like most restaurants are doing this now and I'm here for it. Better than buying shot glasses.
Anyways, check the place out for some good hot pots, ramen, etc. when in the area.

Clear chicken soup was just ok. Also, they should switch to containers Cambridge will recycle for takeout. Wontons were yummy

Had an enjoyable lunch here on a Monday afternoon. Since it was Veterans Day it seemed busier than normal, it did take some time for orders to be placed but nothing crazy. There’s only one person working and she was running around the whole time so I appreciated the speed of the service with that in mind.
As for food, we ordered the beef boat noodle lunch special with shumai and Thai iced tea. We also wanted the khao soi but they ran out of chicken. So we just got another beef boat noodle.
The shumai is as it claims—4 giant pieces. And it’s good! I loved a solid steamed shumai with a good sauce. We also loved the boat noodle soup. Good about of meat and toppings, a very different take on noodle soup. I loved the slight sweetness mixed with the saltiness of the meat.
Overall a solid place to get Thai noodle soups that aren’t the typical yellow/green curry.

What A Soup? How about What A Gem? If you’re looking for no frills Thai food. Go here for a warm hug in a bowl. If you’re feeling adventurous, get the soft fluffy shrimp omelette rice to finish your broth. Appreciate a no QR code menu! Kudos!

What a cute little place. The food was wonderful. The 2 of us each had an appetizer and a main dish and shared an amazing dessert(coconut custard)! We had the pork belly slenders. They were the best I have ever had, moist and tender meat with the most crispiest of skin. I will have to eat them again tomorrow before we leave.
