Great Thai street food in a small cute place by Davis. Fried gyoza was crispy and hot. Good to start while waiting for main dish. Khao soi curry noodles are so flavorful. Coconut and rich broth with crispy noodles and protein of your choice. My go to. The khao grapow is good choice if you want rice. It’s savory and spicy with fried egg wow amazing. Service was good. Friendly and quick. Water always refilled. Limited space inside it’s small but cute. Also parking might be rough but it’s worth it. They have good drink options to juice and coffee.

The Tom yum noodle soup was very addicting and I loved all the toppings in it every bite was new and interesting. The prawns were also perfectly cooked nice and tender and the tail was fried and crunchy and the sauce was sweet and nice. The staff here was also very nice and helpful and I felt well taken cared of

Despite my unintentional sabotage, the food was still phenomenal even 1 hour after the pickup time. I wish I could’ve eaten this piping hot, but traffic and bad timing meant it sat in a bag for an hour. Despite that the food was still amazing. The Khao-gra-pow was an amazing rice dish and the veggie chive cakes were perfect with the sauce. Can’t wait to sit down and have these piping hot!

We had to wait for a table but their system makes it easy to window shop in Davis Square until they text you. I had the Pad Grapow tonight. Everything o have tried there is delicious.

wanted spicy noodles in the rain. while cost-effective, the service was boarder-line rude and for the small space, there may as well just be an order counter. couldn't substitute anything, not even a soft-boiled for fried but didn't matter- fried egg was rubber (precooked) and soft boiled was hard. pork pieces were mostly fat & you pay before even receiving your food. thai tea was fine.

Affordable Thai street food place with great food and quick service. My friends and I came here on a weekday for dinner. It was pouring outside, but we still had to wait in line to get seated. They seemed to be quite popular among the college students in the area, and it was understandable given that most things on the menu were below 10. We got the moo yaw tod and a couple of the entrées, and all of them were good. Moo yaw tod had a chewy texture and went nicely with the chili dipping sauce. From the entrées, my favorites were the beef boat noodles and the khao moo dang. Wontons and crisps added interesting texture and flavors to the noodles, and the topping sauce on khao moo dang was very flavorful. Great experience overall, and I would definitely come back when I get jaded with Thai food options at other takeout restaurants.

Food The best Thai place in Boston. I have tried almost all Thai restaurants around Boston and this is seriously the best. I have never been to Thailand, so I can’t say this is authentic, but the flavor of the noodles is so unique and interesting in a pleasant way. The price is also very affordable. The only thing I would warn you is the quantity. If you have a decent appetite, you probably need to have two dishes. If I can only recommend one dish, I would choose Pad Thai. I never knew how great a Pad Thai could taste until I came here. Everything else It was a street-vendor-under-a-roof type restaurant and you need to wait in line to order. But when there are a lot of people, missing orders or mixing up orders seems to happen every once a while. Now they changed it to a sit-down restaurant that you can order at your table and you don't need to get up to get your food. It is certainly a good improvement. I hope this place can turn into a proper restaurant where people can come and enjoy their night, not just eat and leave.
