This is definitely the best Thai food I ever had. I’m from NY and have tried a decent amount of Thai restaurants. I got the pad Thai and spring rolls. They hit different here. Ever bite was perfect. Would highly recommend and would return next time I’m in Boston!

Amazing! They make everything to order and it shows. The corn fritters were light, crispy and flavorful. The papaya salad is one of best I’ve had in New England (hard to find decent papaya salad here); they put a chili at the bottom of the salad and it gave the whole salad a lovely spicy kick. The beef tacos had juicy beef. The real gem is their homemade ice cream. We had the Thai tea ice cream and it was perfect and creamy and came in a tiny plastic container (great to go!). The restaurant is bright and clean. We would come back here again!

Great food! Definitely seems more like a take out place as seating is super limited, so we did have to wait a little but nothing unreasonable. The staff was very friendly and nice right off the bat, and made sure we were seated as soon as possible. Has a very modern vibe and seems like a really clean place. We got an appetizer and 3 entrees, and they all came out quickly. All of the food was amazing! So delicious and huge portions. Will definitely be back! The bean curd is super hot so if you get it just be careful, and make sure to eat it with the sauce. We loved that there was the option to make almost every menu item vegetarian too.

We’ve been here twice; once we tried the chicken fried rice pad Thai and the next time we had two of the curry dishes. We loved them. Good portions of food.

The phanaeng curry was bright orange instead of a dark burnt orange and a bit flavorless. Ingredients seemed fresh though. The Kapow was a bit salty. The papaya salad was good. The Tod Mun was amazing! By far my favorite thing we ordered.

How this spot is on timeout’s best Thai restaurants in Boston is unknown to me. I thought the best dish we had was the Tod Mun. We ordered the papaya salad, Tod mun, chicken panang curry, and chicken ka pow. Fried egg on the ka pow was cooked through out so no runny yolk and the dish was more salty then it needed to be. Panang curry lacked flavor. We asked for extra spicy and it wasn’t spicy at all. They charged an extra $4 per dish cause it was dinner time and saw this on the bill and just payed it. Staff was very friendly and attentive. 3/5 for experience.

The homemade Thai fish cake/Tod Mun was ! Crispy on the outside and loaded with flavours. The Basil Thai Fried Rice was spicy but still enjoyable. Was surprised to find Char Kuey Teow on the menu in a Thai restaurant so we gave it a try. It doesn’t taste exactly like a CKT you’d get in Malaysia but perhaps it’s a Thai influenced style? The wok hei/breath/toasted aroma on this dish does stand out tho which made it fragrant and worth trying.

A cute Thai restaurant in a touristy area. I really love the Pad Thai here and the papaya salad. I wish I could try more, but I can tell they made good dishes.
