Had a great dinner here on a Friday night! Delicious, well-portioned Thai food with fast service and family restaurant style vibes.The scallion pancakes are a must-get, if you like your scallion pancakes crispy but doughy and with a sweet dipping sauce.The larb is flavorful and done well, but make sure to specify low spicyness if you are bad at handling spicyness, as my mouth was on fire halfway through my meal. If you really like spicy food, you'll love this dish.My dining companion got the Guay Tiew Hang street food dish, and it was delicious sweet noodles with greens and several kinds of pork: sausage, ground, and roasted slices. A great alternative to try if you like other thai noodle dishes!Overall, would come back to try more dishes! Great value for great portion sizes and friendly, speedy service.

Stumbled upon this cozy Thai spot in Cambridge's Central Square!The interior is super intimate and it was empty when we got there but filled up! Definitely gives mom and pop vibes and I liked that it wasn't crazy inside.For food, we ordered papaya salad, tom yum soup, and khao soi. The papaya salad was fresh but the sauce was a little too acidic. The sauce also ended up gathering on the bottom a little too much but was great to cut through the thick noodle soups. The tom yum soup was super flavorful and I loved the broth. Unfortunately the noodles got soggy really quickly but all the fillings made up for it. It came with dumplings, pork, ground pork, egg, and more!The khao soi was very creamy but also full of flavor. I liked the thickness of the egg noodles but my friend was a little unsettled by the richness of color.If you're looking for a quick, local spot for Thai, this is a great place to go!

Friendly neighborhood Thai eatery - always appreciate the welcoming staff here.I'd love to give PKK more stars because of its convenient location, various offerings, and friendly employees. However I have to admit the flavors are not to my personal preference.Overall, it's much greater than other Thai options in the area, but everything seemed a little underseasoned or lackluster.It's still a solid option if you are in a pinch, and by no means will you regret giving it a try! It's a cozy casual corner restaurant that usually doesn't get too crowded for dinner, and the food is well portioned and comes out quickly. I'd recommend coming here if you're in the area and short on time for dinner, but it's certainly not a must-try in the Cambridge area.

i always used to walk past this restaurant and decided to give it a try and i've been here twice. from both visits, i would say that the appetizers were mid. i've tried the fried pork gyoza, crab rangoons, and the chicken karaage. they were on the greasier side and tasted okay. however, i enjoyed the main dishes! i've tried the green curry fried rice, the yellow curry w/ crispy chicken, and pad thai. all of these dishes were super flavorful and yummy. my favorite was the green curry fried rice w/ tofu and i would recommend it if you like spicy food. the serving size is on the larger side, so perfect for sharing. for most of the dishes, you get a choice of protein. during my second visit, i got crispy chicken w/ the green curry fried rice and i was a bit disappointed. the chicken wasn't crispy and the skin was sliding of the meat. i don't remember that being my experience during my first visit, so there seems to be some inconsistencies w/ that. the green curry fried rice tastes amazing w/ tofu so i recommend that over the crispy chicken. overall, Pin Kin Kao wouldn't be my first choice when i'm craving thai food, but i wouldn't shy you away from trying it out if you are ever in the central area.

Delicious and easy lunch!! I loveddd my pad see ew and I think the large plate was the perfect amount to stuff myself with. I'd recommend a small plate if you're at a normal hunger level though. I took pictures of my colleagues' meals and they also looked sooo good, we all enjoyed this restaurant and would come again!

Ordered the Ba Meehaang Mooo Dang - Bean sprouts lightly boiled is still somewhat crispy, char see is bit lean, light marinated flavor, shrimp wonrton piping hot, half boiled egg ("little slimy, probably been out all day), fishballs small and flavorless, noodles el dente and sauce is sweet and spicy.Service is fine, only person there dining at the time. Ambiance feels a bit hole in the wallish. Street parking only with paid meter spaces. Overall, probably would try the regular pad thai dish next time to give another chance.

Honestly decent. Probably somewhere around 3.7 stars but what's the difference, right?Got the Pad Kra Pow with crispy chicken to go. It was a decent sized meal, maybe a little small for the price, but enough. Could've used a little more rice on the side but that's just me. The flavor was very tasty, and that's where the majority of points should go, right? Well good because something's were (literally) falling apart. It seemed the batter on the crispy chicken had sloughed off in the bath of delicious sauce, and became its own entity. This was unfortunate, because it took away all the crisp, but somehow it worked. The batter bits absorbed sauce from the dish and it actually brought things up. This was a good example of not everything has to be perfect to be great! Could I have gotten upset at my no-longer-crispy-chicken? Sure. But hey, it's 2024, why not look on the bright side?

The service was really nice, and I liked that the menu had more options than many other Thai restaurants in the area, but we found the food to be just ok and quite sweet.I visited with friends for lunch, and we ordered several items. In general, the curries ($13.95 for small) were very sweet, as was the sauce on the crispy pork belly with spicy basil ($15.95 for large). The somtum salted crab salad ($11) was also pretty sweet (I wish there were less sugar and more acid), and my friend who had the curry fried rice ($15.95) said he also found his dish to be average.
