The woman (Or) who takes your order is very nice, however, the food is really gross. SO greasy, they use tons of oil to the point it is inedible. We got Pad See Ew (the last word sums it up!). The noodles were overcooked, soggy and tasteless. It was the smallest portion and didn't even half fill the container!!! Yet, they still charge $17 for it. Outrageous. We got the vegetable instead of a meat (but they don't charge less for veggies only?!) and there was practically no vegetables at all. Maybe two small pieces of overcooked broccoli and some carrots, literally. The dish was completely flavorless and very disappointing, to say the least. We also got the vegetable red curry, which was also laden with soggy & old tasting veggies and no variety. We put the leftovers in the fridge and once it got cold, there was a huge separation of OIL! Sickening. We threw it out and we're glad we didn't eat it. We will never get food from here again. * * * Try Brown Sugar Cafe, Comm. Ave, Boston ---- THE BEST THAI food!!!

Food was good, but some hours later me and two others were ill. Never had this experience with Thai food, but this was our first and last time having food from here.

The food is so good and the family that runs it so nice. Very reliably delicious. Can request tofu be stir fried instead of deep fried.

I’ve been getting takeout from Manow since COVID. It is reliably excellent. The Three Flavor Fish is very tasty as is the Masaman Curry. Their Pad Thai is great also. And you can create your own dish using either chicken, beef, shrimp etc and your choice of vegetables and seasonings. It’s a great neighborhood place. They also have delivery using any of various delivery services.

Amazing food! Pad kee Mao and panang are phenomenal (both with tofu). The mango sticky rice is delicious and not too sweet

While I have been coming here for many years the service since Covid has gone dramatically down hill. The food is still pretty good, which is why 2 stars and not 1. About a month ago I tried making a delivery order and I usually leave a tip in cash to the driver when they get here. I didn’t use the cc tip option. I noticed my order was cancelled within 2 min of ordering. I called and asked why and was told it was because I didn’t leave a tip. My $50 order was cancelled because I didn’t leave a cc tip. Then more recently I ordered take out on a Sunday evening. When I went in the place was empty and I asked if I could sit down with my takeout order and get a bubble tea and eat there. I was told as long as I was prepared to give the server a tip. I couldn’t sit and order a drink and eat the food that was already prepared for me and already paid for unless I paid a service fee. At a completely empty restaurant. As a 20 year restaurant industry veteran, I was both offended and bewildered how this “demand for tips” is tolerated at this restaurant. You have lost a former long standing customer.

Absolutely LOVE this place!! It’s fresh and healthy. The dishes don’t have too much oil or salt like other places. The staff are so friendly and sweet. I order from this place at least once a week. Best Thai food in Boston!!!

The waiter asked me to get out to turn off the car headlights because it shines on her eyes.

The chicken was not cooked properly and was tasting very rough. The seafood was old. We used to like this place but after this experience we won’t come back.
