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!

I ordered chicken pad Thai through Uber Eats, but the chicken was dry and the food overall had a bad taste. It was so unappetizing that I ended up throwing it away. I’m not blaming Uber Eats—just the restaurant that prepared it. I won’t be ordering from there again.

A place that stands out among the high growth of Thai restaurants in the past decade. Street-type dishes that are affordable and well worth the spice. Also an atmosphere that is a great for discussion while slurping. Does not get better.
It was a good stop, but not as authentic as I had hoped. I will come back, though.

We first visited Dakzen in 2018 when they had just opened, and this is our first time returning since moving back to Boston. The food is still outstanding and did not disappoint. Their Gui Chai Tod is also quite tasty compared to other Thai restaurants. Overall experience with service: 10 out of 10.

This place is awesome. Bang for the buck is great, and I swear the Tom Yum soup cured my Covid. 10/10

Dakzen is worth the hype for both dine in and takeout! The flavors are impeccable, and the dishes are very reasonably priced. I tried the Gui Chai Tod as an appetizer followed by Khao Soi with fried pork belly as a main. The Gui Chai Tod resembles a scallion pancake in some ways and comes served with a subtly tangy ginger soy sauce. However, the Khao Soi is the real star of the show. All the fresh ingredients combine to create a spicy dream of a curry soup. Maybe stay away if you have a low spice tolerance, but for me it was everything I was looking for on a cool fall evening. I'll be back to try more.
