Fresh. Funky. Fabulous. We got the chicken satay, the chicken pad Thai, and the Gong Karee and the only issue was that we couldn't decide which one we liked best. I'm so happy we found a place this good and this close to home. We'll definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu.

All I can say is... wow. I normally don't eat out as close to home, but I was in a rush and my parents wanted Thai and what a delight today was! The food was PHENOMENAL! So delicious and so were the drinks. The duck curry was so good I was drinking the sauce like soup! My favorite Thai restaurant is in South end but I think it has new competition with this new restaurant! I loved every bit of the experience today. Highly recommend and I'll be back again and again! So much more on the menu to explore! The setting was cool, intimate and inviting! Great for a lunch date or a cute dinner!

My family and friends meet here on a Monday just as they opened since my brother was a huge fan of this place. We were a party of 7 so we were relieved to be the first ones there. However, shortly after every seat was full and there was even a line. We loved the broth of the Tom yum as well as the seafood. I haven't had Khao pad poo other than a Chinese crab fried rice version and was a huge fan of the flavors. The Pad Thai shrimp was also top notch for my typically unsatisfied preferences. The Pad kee mao was delicious as well but I could always do with more gravy. The Panang nuer was tender and seasoned perfectly. I really liked the fish sauce served with the Grilled squid since it was so spicy and tangy. The Kai Tod had yai was crispy and salty. And the Sweet mango sticky rice was a perfect way to end our meal. Drinks were phenomenal including the 999 roses and makam. Overall, I had a fantastic time and so did everyone in my party. There were 3 servers for the whole place but they could certainly use a few extra hands since they were so busy. Even so, they were still so sweet and fulfilled all our requests. Would absolutely love to come again and highly recommend others to support this locally owned and beautifully crafted Thai place!

Wonderful and cozy Thai spot nestled in the Brighton-Newton corner area. Ordered a marinated pork dish and chicken pad Thai because that's always a good baseline for comparison. Portions are pretty generous considering the price inflation on food lately. The pork was supposed to come with 'sticky' rice but honestly it was just regular steamed white rice in a cute little thatched pouch. Pad Thai game was strong. tldr; nice Thai spot if you're looking for your fix

Tried this place twice thus far and i must say i do enjoy the experience. Waitresses were attentive and quick. I got to try the papaya salad, it isn't spicy so fire seekers, this isn't it. Non-fire seekers this is perfect! The Tom yum Morfai dish was flavorful and had a mix of seafood shrimps, squid, mussels etc. enjoyed taking the broth and putting rice in it after. The roti massaman was good, but be warned could be on the saltier side for some (i like salty) wish there were more pieces of the roti Khao pad ga pow was their basil fried rice. I was hoping for a spicier kick. Usually basil fried rice I've had at many other places had a nice spice level. Tasty still but would probably try asking if they could spice it up more next time. Their Tiger steak dish i felt was lacking. A lot of fat on the pieces some may love, not my jam personally. The sauce that came with it was delish! The duck with pineapple dish was alright could have been hotter it wasn't our favorite. Three flavor fish was very tasty i enjoyed the flavor. I thought the fish was a tad dry but overall liked it. Ambiance seems to be very inviting, the place is usually jamming. We went on a weekday and a weekend. The weekends pretty packed but tables are turned around quick. Overall recommend? Yes! The lady has all the good pictures, i was busy eating. Only took photo of the mango sticky rice!

We had a nice Mother's Day lunch here. The dining space is casual but trendy, with cool corrugated tin ceiling tiles and brick wall. The food was delicious and took almost no time to come out. Service was quick and efficient. We ordered the Roti with Massaman Curry dip as an appetizer, and shared a Three Flavor Fish (mildly spiced sweet sour fried whole red snapper), Crying Tiger (generous seared sirloin steak with dipping sauce), and Goong Karee (shrimp in a mild dry curry sauce). The Thai iced tea was awesome too. What a great find in Oak Square! It fills up by 12 so make reservations.

Finally got to visit Thonglor after receiving a recommendation from a friend and I wasn't disappointed The dishes were colorful, flavorful, and had the perfect temperature and spice. The pad cha talay had a great portion of seafood that was perfectly cooked and flavored (definitely would order this again). The larb ped was refreshing with fresh herbs that paired well with the duck (i recommend having this dish with rice! ). Finally, the pad see ew was one of the best I've had because of the noodle texture and overall balanced flavor of slightly sweet and savory‼ They also have a wide range of beautiful drinks at their bar that I would love to come back and bring friends to try Definitely would visit again to try more dishes!

One of the better Thai spots in Boston. In the oak square area, where the only parking is street parking but we didn't have an issue finding parking on a Saturday night. Staff was really friendly, if I are going with a group larger than 4, it would be best to make a reservation. The drinks were interesting and good. I honestly don't remember the names, sorry! For the food, the beef Penang curry was the tables favorite. It was simple but packed with flavor and a nice little kick. The chicken pad Thai is one of the better ones I've had ever. The crab meat fried rice had legitimate limb crab meat unlike most crab meat fried rice where you get tiny bits of snow crab meat. The last item we got was a spicy seafood dish, which was good but not as interesting or as delicious as the others. This is also a great date night, nothing fancy but good eats spot. One thing I did notice was the music was a little loud, but not a deal breaker for me.

HOLY SMOKES. Talk about an authentic Thai place that has a chill and mood-lit ambiance. I love it! This might quite possibly be my favorite Thai restaurant -- so authentic. FAVE ITEMS: - Chicken Satay: omg this is a must-get. This may be my favorite. The peanut sauce is so creamy and the chicken is so soft and tender. - Khao Pad Poo: crab fried rice basically. This comes with a generous portion of crab chunks that simply paired so well with the fried rice. I am already thinking about this dish again. SERVICE: quick and fast! I am so amazed they are able to whip out these dishes so quickly. PARKING: lots of street parking around the restaurant. PRICE: really decently priced! You're def getting quality here Overall, I think this may be one of my favorite Thai spots I have ever tried in general. Honestly so good :)
