The debate is over. This is hands down my favorite thai food place in mass. Yes in all of mass!! Omg its such a hidden gem and I'm actually so mad we waited this long to try. If you're a fan of authentic Thai street food and not just pad thai and tom yum, this is the place. We got the kao mun gai (chicken & rice) and it's delicious! My boyfriend even prefers this more than our usual spot - Hen in Somerville. I got the khao kha moo (braised pork thigh with rice + chinese broccoli and boiled egg) and omg I was on cloud nine!! Can't wait to go back and try more. We were pretty surprised that it was empty inside when we went to pick the food up :( the people working there was sweet as hell too! we love this place so we really hope this review reaches the right audience. The crispy chicken skin app was delicious as well and we got two desserts to try because we couldn't decide which one to get. The fried banana was ok, like sweet egg rolls but the one that captured our heart was the sweet sticky rice with thai custard. Hallelujah it's delicious!!! Not too much at all, though I always love the mango version, this one is pretty dang good and a unique way to elevate the sweet coconuty sticky rice. Will fosho definitely coming back to try other street food dishes on the menu!!

We got the Basil Chicken, Three Delight, Crab Rangoon, and Gyoza’s. We loved all of it! The Basil Chicken was crispy, spicy, and sweet in every bite. Looking forward to ordering from here again!

I've ordered takeout here several times and my food has always arrived fresh and warm. The drunken noodles here are so good - especially if you like spicy food! The crab rangoon are amazing. Lunch specials are a great portion for a fair price point. Lots of vegetarian options. Their soups are also great if you're under the weather or on a rainy day! One of my favorite local restaurants. I hope to visit in person someday!

After living down the street for 8 years, I finally managed to get takeout from here. I've wasted 8 years of my life. The food and service are amazing. I'll go back frequently.Vegetarian options: We had crispy basil fried rice and drunken noodles with tofu. They were fantastic.

We order from here a ton. We most often get tom yum soup, khao mun gai, drunken noodles, crispy basil chicken, and tried lots of different appetizers, everything is always hot and delicious. . We'll continue to order from here in the future.

Do not be fooled, this is a 4.9 on uber eats and the food was so bad that we threw away. I wish it was just ok and wouldn't bother with this review but it was not and was every dish...4.9 is very high for uber eats so just do not be lured in, no idea how this is... you have been warned.

Great pad thai and excellent spicy menu options. The spicy items are actually spicy just as a warning for those who can't handle it.

One of my favorite spots!! My bestie and I used to meet here at least once a week after work for good food and venting sessions...LolIts a small, clean place off high street in Medford (across from the post office) accessible via #101 bus from Malden to Medford Sq, offer dine-in, take-out or delivery. The staff is friendly with great service and delicious food!I was going to get the usual-- curry puffs, tofu triangles, scallion pancakes, spring roll or massaman curry, but decided to try the lunch special--yellow curry with tofu, vegetables and white rice and. It was fantastic ? Even the limeade was good, not sweet just right ?? I am not sure if they still have the fried ice cream, if so give it a try and thank me later ?Vegetarian options: There's options for vegan/vegetarian. You can always ask to substitute an item.Parking: There street parking, not sure if its paid or not.

I love the pad Thai, drunken noodles, and curry dishes at this restaurant! They are always friendly, fast, accommodating, and may go to lunch or dinner, fast food place. The delivery has always been perfect. Sometimes I even come here to dine in for a show at the chevalier theater. They sell wine and beer too!

I ordered through takeout. I used to love this place. Well prepared dishes with fresh vegetables. My issue is that recently the vegetables listed on the menu as included in the dish are not all actually in the dish. Lots of green peppers though! Change the menu to be accurate to what you sell. The first couple of times I thought it was a mistake, now I believe they are cutting corners.Parking: Hit or miss depends on whether there is an event at the Chevalier.
