We have visited 3 times and the first two times were great. Ordered green curry and pad thai for my daughter. Eggplant for my mom. Service was ok. Second time we ordered sticky rice and it never came. So we csnxelled it. Gave the place 5/5 still. The third time we went on a Friday night and it was a totally different experience. Ordered the short rib which were delicious in flavor and super tender, but so salty I could barely eat them. In contrast the pad thai was so sweet and mushy my poor daughter could not eat most of it.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, so it can get a bit loud inside, but it's definitely worth booking ahead to secure a table.
We frequently dine in and also order takeout from this Thai restaurant, and without a doubt, it is the best one in the Boston metro area. Even after a few years, it continues to maintain its reputation as the top spot in Boston. They also offer a variety of vegetarian options on their menu.

The overall experience at this Thai restaurant was quite good. While it wasn't extraordinary, it didn't disappoint either. The baby corn appetizer was very tasty, and the stir-fried noodles were also well done. The prices are reasonable, making it a place worth trying.

This restaurant serves the best Thai food in the area! Whenever we are within a 30-minute drive, we always make sure to stop by. Our favorite dishes are the cashew nut and basil stir fry.
