The smells in here are absolutely wonderful
The Khao Soi with shredded chicken I found so-so, the soup was good, but the shredded chicken was a bit dense. Maybe just try a different meat if you order this dish, I expected the chicken to be more of a chicken breast
The chicken kra Pao was excellent, good flavour and texture, and spicier than I had expected : )
The prices are quite moderate, and the portion size is good enough for that price. I look forward to trying some of the other dishes!

Amazing value, portion, taste - what’s not to love?
The moment I entered I was greeted with a friendly smile and a modern, warm interior. The seating inside is limited but very cozy.
What shocked me was how affordable everything is - and the portions are quite big too. I ordered the:
Kra Duk Moo Nam Dang (Spicy Garlic Pork Spareribs) $14.99 - Very mild spice and great flavor on the ribs. The sauce was slightly sweet and tangy.
Kai Pa-Lo (Braised Pork Belly & Eggs) $14.99 - I could drink the sauce (so much flavor with the star anise and cinnamon)! The pork was so tender and paired so perfectly with rice.
Overall would definitely come back!
Please check

We had a terrific Thai dinner on our recent visit to DAKZEN. It was a Monday night and place was packed, had to wait aprox 15 minutes, but well worth it. We ordered the Khao Grapow, Kiew Nam soup , and Pad Thai... all delicious, but I saw my son sweat from the spicy Khao Grapaw (he wouldn't admit it..lolol). Prices were very reasonable, we averaged $25 p/p and service was quick and with a smile.

Small place that does amazing Thai food!
The Kao Soi is a must try, with the broth being absolutely perfect and so flavorful, and the shredded chicken goes great with it! Nice portion sizes, and they have a good assortment of extra pickle, hot sauce, chili crisp, etc. that are great to add in, super solid spot!
worst pad thai i’ve ever had in my entire life. it had 0 flavor, and the crispy chicken was so chewey and not crispy at all. the whole dish tasted like it had been microwaved, which given as it was ready in 4 minutes it probably was. won’t ever go back . how do u even mess up pad thai?

Wonderful local spot with dishes full of flavour for reasonable prices!
I’ve tried three dishes here so far and they’ve all been delicious! The Khao Soi has a creamy and flavourful broth that is truly addictive. I think the tofu is a great protein for this dish as it soaks up all of the goodness! My partner got the Grapow Fried Rice which was simple and yummy. The garlic is working some kind of magic with that dish and really enhances the flavours. The first time we went, I got the Khao Panang Moo - another dish that packs a punch with flavour and spice!
You really can’t go wrong here - I’ve yet to try more of the menu offerings but I can confidently say that you probably won’t be disappointed!

I ordered the khao grapow with the 4 dollar crispy pork add on. Not to be hyperbolic, but the pork was so hard and dry that it was basically inedible.
I’ve been a regular here for many years. It’s a fantastic, casual dining spot. Particular favorites are the khao Panang moo and khao soi (with pork)
I have been to Dakzen well over 20 times. It was a favorite in college, and I’ve never had a bad meal here! Incredibly prompt service, polite staff, reasonable prices, and delicious food is a combo you can’t pass up. I particularly like their khao soi, khao panang moo, but their best dish is ba me moo dang. Highly recommend!
