I had a disappointing experience at this Thai food restaurant. The food is inconsistent; it can be better or worse depending on the day. The service is abysmal - one staff member (a young asian lady) took away our large to-go bag from underneath the table, seemingly for reuse. When I requested it back, she insinuated that since we had eaten some of the food, we no longer needed a big paper bag and handed us a small plastic one. After insisting on the paper bag, she gave us a tiny brown bag and warned that she could only provide one. We spent over $60 and didn't expect this level of rudeness and cheapness from the staff. We left in disappointment, and will probably not be back.

Maybe it depends on what you order, but I had the red curry with shrimp and it wasn’t very good. The shrimp tasted fine. The curry was watery and had a funny taste. I paid for the extra shrimp and I’m glad I did because, otherwise, the whole dish came with 5 shrimp and a handful of vegetables in a lot of watery broth that wasn’t great

I order take out, I get home and I have no chopsticks. Ok, not a big deal I call and ask and the person was very rude and said we don’t provide that to customers unless you eat inside our restaurant. Go to eat it, it’s freezing cold.

we were in the area of brookline and figured we will stop by here for lunch in person. we have gotten take out before, we got the pad thai and the Indonesian fried rice. the fried rice was really good, thats why we got it again. but the pad thai was blah. the wings were flavorful but im not sure if they microwave the wings or i had a fluke but there was a part of one of the drum sticks that was really cold. I had to use my fingers to feel if it was actual cold or it was me, but one part was definitely cold. we would come back here again for the fried rice for sure.

DELICIOUS. I wasn't even that hungry and devoured almost the entire bowl. The spice isn't that bad at all. I ordered the Yellow Curry with Pork.Staff was nice. Vibes are great.

I have ordered pretty much everything from the menu. All positions are equally delicious. Employees are always happy to see you as well. I have ordered close to 30+ times from this place and was never disappointed with food quality. I have tried many thai restaurants in the area and this one is the best.

This place is SO good. My favorite cuisine is Thai, so we eat a lot of Thai food, have been to Thailand, order it a lot, etc. This is an unassuming shop in our neighborhood that we decided to try one night and haven’t stopped eating it since. The service is always quick, it delivers or picks up incredibly, the folks that work there are nice, and - of course - the food is exceptional every time. I find myself craving those pad see ew noodles.Most recently, we got the Indonesian fried rice (I think that’s what it’s called), pad see ew with beef, and red curry with white rice. All of the dishes were great. The katsu style chicken in the fried rice was so crispy and yummy - a nice surprise. Yeah, the pad see ew noodles are a little greasy, but that’s exactly what you want from your delivery Thai food. The curry is great, well seasoned and spiced. Love it all. Will continue to be our go-to spot.

I just order from here. The pad Thai was sunken noodles in old oil. First and last for sure.

TLDR: Food and service were both excellent. Ordered Pad Sew You, Mango Crispy Chicken, Avocado Curry, and Hot Thai Basil Pork stir fry. Would recommend all of them. Drinks were: Hot Thai tea, Thai milk tea boba, brown sugar milk, and Nom Yen (pink milk made from salak and kind of tastes like strawberry laffy taffy). Went for dinner on Monday night so we were one of the few people eating in the restaurant but it was very nice and clean inside. The server was extremely nice and helpful. We ordered the above items and all came out very quick with pretty generous portion sizes especially for Thai food. The pad sew you and Thai basil pork were very solid dishes, nothing crazy special but really really good still. The avocado curry was a table favorite and was different than most Thai curries we have had with the avocado and coconut creme but it was so good and refreshing. My favorite was the mango chicken which was very delicious with a lot of pieces of chicken. Finished all of our food and everyone was very surprised with how good the food was. Definitely a must try if you are in the area and craving some good Thai food for a great value.Update: Went back again recently and got the mango sticky rice and it was amazing!
