Consistently messes up my online orders and food quality is VERY poor. I'm talking chicken dryer than a desert. Prices in the window and what they charge you are mismatched. Do not visit here. Go to Sugar and Spice instead.

As boring as it may sound I always have Pad Thai, so I consider myself as a conneseur of this delicacy. I would consider the Pad Thai here to be the best I've ever had. Definitely on my list for a return trip.

Give this place a try! A small business that offers fresh and authentic Thai food at an affordable price. We came there for lunch and there had been a photo session going on (for their meals). We waited outside for 5 mins while the photographers were wrapping up. We ordered the papaya salad, basil fried rice, and boat noodle. All of them were delicious and taking us back to Thailand. The papaya salad was great. We asked for a medium spicy and we got medium. They used both red and green chili’s and it just tasted so refreshing. The basil fried rice was the best. It’s so fragrant that I couldn’t remember when I had such fried rice for the last time. Perhaps in Thailand. It’s so mouth watering and not too salty. The boat noodle was also yummy. The beef was very generous and they used lots of herbs and you can really taste the richness (yet not heavy) of the broth. This is a small business so you might see some unorganised stuff in the corner. But it’s not unappealing or anything like that. We were just wondering that they could’ve had more space for more customers had they cleaned it up. But I would definitely come back.

I ordered a mild pad thai and it was spicy and the chicken teriyaki was very dry

This place absolutely sucks. When you order delivery: they do not follow your requests and instructions: orders consistently come w missing items and incorrect items. They do not want to work w u; better off ordering

YummyThai in Cambridge, MA is an absolute gem of a restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. But it's the food that truly steals the show.Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. The Pad Thai was a standout, with perfectly cooked noodles, tender chicken, and just the right balance of sweet and savory flavors. The Tom Yum soup was also exceptional, with a spicy kick that warmed me up on a chilly night.But what really blew me away were the curries. I tried both the green curry and the Massaman curry, and they were both so delicious that I couldn't decide which one I liked better. The curries were creamy, fragrant, and full of complex flavors that kept me coming back for more.And to top it all off, the service was top-notch. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. Overall, YummyThai is a must-visit spot for anyone who loves authentic, flavorful Thai cuisine. I can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing dishes!Vegetarian options: YummyThai offers an exceptional vegetarian menu that is sure to impress even the most discerning diners. The restaurant takes pride in using the freshest ingredients and traditional Thai cooking techniques to create vegetarian dishes that are both delicious and nutritious.One of the standout vegetarian dishes on the menu is the Vegetarian Pad Thai, which is made with tofu, eggs, bean sprouts, scallions, and ground peanuts, all stir-fried to perfection. The flavors are well-balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness, saltiness, and tanginess, making it a crowd favorite.Another must-try and my favorite dish is the Vegetarian Green Curry, packed with fresh vegetables like eggplant, bell peppers, and green beans, all cooked in a creamy coconut milk sauce. The curry has just the right amount of spiciness and is bursting with flavor, making it a great option for anyone looking for a satisfying vegetarian meal.

I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp and was blown away by the quality and flavor of the dish. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the shrimp was plump and juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning. I also tried the Tom Yum soup, which was the perfect combination of spicy, sour, and savory, with fresh herbs and vegetables that added an extra layer of depth to the dish.What really stood out to me, however, were the vegetarian options on the menu. I'm always on the lookout for delicious vegetarian dishes, and YummyThai did not disappoint. The Vegetarian Green Curry was particularly outstanding, with a creamy and flavorful coconut milk sauce that perfectly complemented the fresh and colorful array of vegetables.The hospitality and attentiveness of the staff were top-notch. Highly recommend

I ordered Tom Yum soup with shrimp to be delivered for my lunch today. Unfortunately, it only had 2 small shrimps(: The broth is delicious, but that was the whole, broth and 2 small shrimp.

$17 for drunken noodles is way too expensive, especially for take out. And, the food is average.

Kinda same problem: ordered online for pickup at 7:00, got there at 6:55, food was tepid; I suspect they again filled the order as soon as they received it, rather than at the time requested. In addition this time, they got a minor item wrong--requested Thai iced tea and got Thai lemon tea. Otoh, their som tum is really good, and prices are a good deal lower then others in the area.

Ordered pad thai (with chicken) recently during lunch hours. This is the first time I'm reviewing a dish for being objectively bad, and I suspect it wasn't cooked properly.The chicken on the pad thai was very dry and rubbery. It's not unusual for delivery/takeout places to reheat their food, but I suspect the chicken was either very old or microwaved several times before getting to me.The pad thai sauce/seasoning was also burnt. I don't mean that it was smoky or overcooked - it was burnt as in it was strait bitter. Like I'd have to set my fire alarms off to burn food enough to achieve the flavor profile in this pad thai.I'm guessing my particular order of pad thai was screwed up, as there's just no way a restaurant is going to stay in business if this is how they normally serve pad thai. While I'm guessing their usual pad thai orders are better, I do think it's noteworthy that they'd send out what seems to be a totally failed pad thai order.

Fast and friendly service. Very tasty lunch options.

i stopped here on a whim on my way to pemberton. i ordered the pineapple fried rice and it was pretty disappointing- i had to douse it in chili oil and soy sauce because it was mostly flavorless. it also didn't have raisins, nuts, egg, or other yummy things in pineapple fried rices i've had elsewhere. the food was ready in 5 minutes though so 2 stars for that
