I would have preferred if the rice had a stronger flavor - it has some taste but is still relatively bland compared to the ones I’m used to. The chicken can afford to be more tender. The soup was really good though.

Coincidently I stop by Somerville today , I just found this delicious Thai chicken over rice , we ordered the heat and the mix , also Thai ice tea , believe and not I love it a lot , because it is not too sweet and tea favor stay fresh, also the sauce just match with chicken very well . It also comes dikon soup , I tasted like my mom soup , ( not just water with dikon) surprise me . Highly recommended, will definitely come back again. I was too hungry, forgot to take the pictures. Hopefully we can come back soon .

The spicy crispy chicken/heat is so damn good. I would give 5 stars, but the portion sides on the extras have gone down quite a lot

Its was quite some time since I last had a takeaway from this restaurant. I did remember how much I enjoyed the crispy chicken, garlicky rice and the super peppery daikon soup. I was sad to see the chicken not crispy at all, and there was not as much rice either. The soup is still amazing. I would suggest they fry up the chicken more and increase the amount of rice. If the price has to go up so be it, as everyone else had increased their prices too.

This is my classic lunch spot when I'm in the area. Service is super quick and grab n go couldn't be smoother. We frequently place large orders for my office and it's ready seemingly instantly. The food is solid but frankly very straightforward. Solid sized pieces of chicken that are juicy but relatively simple. Rice is best part of the dish IMO. I usually rock with the Crispy and I'm always satisfied!

So good! I'm hooked and this is the meal I miss the most every time I'm out of town. I like the two fried chicken versions, the crunch cuts well into the well-flavored (ginger, chicken stock, maybe a bit of coconut? Idk) buttery taste of the rice. Only thing is I wish it came with more cilantro and cucumbers.

I got the mix, and I liked the crispy chicken more than the original chicken! The original was kind of bland. I also thought the rice was flavorful, and it came with daikon soup. The soup was great on a cold and rainy day. For the price, I thought the portion sizes were small, and it was a little expensive. You only get like... 7 or so pieces of chicken.

Ordered the spicy chicken and ginger rice. The flavor was good, but the chicken breast was fatty.
