The fresh spring rolls were easily the best I’ve ever had. The House Pad Thai was also delicious. At the recommendation of a friend we tried the mango sticky rice for dessert, which was perfect; not too sweet. Our server was very friendly and our food came out very quickly. Absolutely loved the atmosphere, especially as someone who loves plants.

I’ve been here twice now and absolutely love their food! I would rate it as one of the best Thai food I’ve had in this area. The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The service was pretty quick too. Must try: Spicy basil fried rice with chicken Panang curry Green curry (spicy) Red curry with fried chicken Drunken noodles (very spicy) Thai Iced tea with Boba

I ordered through DoorDash, it is my first time trying this restaurant, and I am pleasantly surprised at how delicious and filling this meal was. I reluctantly tried the drunken noodle with shrimp, fearing I’d get all noodle and a few mixins. I was wrong. The flat noodle was cooked perfectly and absorbed all the flavors of the sauce. The dish was loaded with veggies and a fair amount of protein. I also added extra chicken and it was the best noodle dish I’ve had in a very long time. I’m pretty sure this is a shareable dish. I fought to get to half of it and I’m very full and satisfied.

I like the relaxing atmosphere here as well as the very delicious food. I had Thai Massaman curry with extra rice for about 20. The staff are very timely, friendly, and polite. The restaurant is easily accessible via MBTA Washington sq @ Comm Ave. There is also a very huge aquarium inside the restaurant which is very beautiful and relaxing. So far, one of the best Massaman curry foods I had in Boston. It also has large tables for sitting with much larger groups.

I love bringing friends here for dinner because the food is yummy, plentiful, and the staff are so kind. The ambiance is amazing and peaceful.

I love so much their Rangoon is just so yummy ! All the time I buy it gets the same thought! I need to come back for more!
