Lemon Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.8 (367) • $$

"Sometimes the only option for delivery is a third party service such as GrubHub or UberEats or DoorDash. Well, that's not the case for Lemon Thai. They offer to take both delivery or pickup orders on their website (http://www.lemonthai.com/) through Toast. The delivery fee seemed reasonable at first glance, unlike the inflated prices deliver apps often offer on top of their delivery fees, but I was placing an order for a friend and she was happy to pick it up as she made her way home.Order placing was simple enough. Prices for their carb dishes were quite reasonable summer 2022 at $12-13. I like Thai, and it is a cuisine that works well for their dairy constraint. And if you set up an account with Toast, you can earn points. (I hope those don't expire...)Can't judge the food myself though since I didn't get to eat it. But they live in the neighborhood, and didn't balk at my consideration of Lemon Thai for this meal, so that says something.Steamed Thai Dumplings (7 pieces) $8Crispy Chicken Pad Thai $13Pork Pad See You $12"

Thai Place

★★★★☆ 3.8 (211)

"Thai food, when done right, is so amazing. That said, I think it's really hard to keep things authentic while meeting the various preferences of the local palate that you're serving. I imagine that's likely the conflict that we discovered dining here.We arrived for lunch, and there were only 4 tables in the place. Despite it being peak lunch hour, only one other table was occupied, which could have been a tip off to us ahead of time. The menu was pretty standard, although I was impressed they had multiple options for pad thai which was unusual to me.To start, we ordered the pad woon sen, which is hubby's favorite thai dish, and because there were so many pad thai choices, I opted for that. I asked for a thai iced tea with coconut milk instead of crème, and initially they said they couldn't do it, but then later came back and said yes, and it was good.The entrees were polarized. Hubby's pad woon sen was excellent, with crisp veggies, and well seasoned. I was super jealous because mine was a comparative let down. My pad thai was heavy with sauce and overly sweet to the point of being sickly sweet. I was unable to finish even half of it.The saving grace was dessert. We ordered the coconut sticky rice with mango and it was excellent. The rice was not over cooked, the coconut crème was equal parts sweet and salty, and the mango was ripe and tangy. Service was fast, prices were good, and parking was chaotic on the street. Given the unpredictability of the food, I would not likely return."

"I've ordered now twice through Uber Eats. The family meal is plenty for 6 people. It's nice to have a sampling of all 3 types of chicken. Not, fresh and the chicken isn't dry at all! Sauces are great. Highly recommend What Da Chick!"

"First time in for me today. We tried to stop in another day but they were closed for vacation last time. Glad we got to catch them open this time around!First their menu is definitely got a lot going on. Sushi ramen Thai, kind of overwhelming at first.Pricing is on the higher side for rolls and dishes imo. The chicken skins. : fried well, crispy, but fried unseasoned. Asked server for some dipping sauce and salt and it was good; server quickly got me something for it. Probably wouldn't start with that again next time.The Hokkaido don was what the lady ordered she said it was fresh and yummy comparable to Tora's bowls. They ran out of sea urchin and let us sub it out for otoro. That was cool of them.I got the spicy basil with crispy chicken. Flavor was good! As i was expecting for the dish. The portion of chicken was a whole cutlet cut up into strips, a lot of onions, peppers and basil leaves.Rice doesn't come with the dish so added a side of white rice. I would note, the sauce was super watery, I'm used to having a bit thicker of a sauce for this type of dish but again, flavor was good!The Thai ice tea came in a nice glass, definitely on the creamy side flavor wise, a bit watered down but enjoyable nonetheless!Probably will be back to try some other dishes.The space is open, plenty of seating!"

Pepper Sky's Thai Sensation

★★★★☆ 3.6 (423) • $$

"The prices here are quite reasonable even after inflation. I placed a to-go order for chicken satay ($8.95), seafood madness ($16.95), and spicy pad thai ($12.45). I like how you can customize your preferred spicy levels for the entree dishes.My favorite was the chicken satay which was quite a big portion for its price. The chicken was not dry at all and was full of delicious lemongrass flavor. It came with two sauces which were both on the sweet side.The seafood madness was packed with seafood and came in a thick sauce. There were a lot of veggies like onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. The sauce had a lot of umami flavor but I wouldn't have minded if it had even more seasoning.I thought the pad thai was decent. The portion was good and could be split into two meals if you are not hungry. I wish the scallions were more crunchy though-- they were on the mushy side.Overall, this is a solid spot to satisfy a craving for Thai food that won't break your wallet."

Thai Moon

★★★★☆ 3.7 (249) • $$

"Very tasty Thai place on Mass Ave in Arlington. On the weekends depending on the day there may be ample street parking! I've been here a few times and usually stick with the pad thai or pad see ew (both tasty but didn't blow my mind if I recall). They have lunch size portion for many dishes (11am-3pm I believe all week) so that's nice in case you didn't want to eat something too heavy and abundant early in the day.I got the sizzling beef (with a side of brown rice) and I must say that the beef was extremely tender and full of flavor. The oyster sauce really complements the beef well and the mushrooms were quite tasty. I was hoping for more green veggies but nothing worth complaining about. Give it a try if you're in the area!"

Soup Shack Porter

★★★★☆ 4.4 (111) • $$

"I stopped by Soup Shack Porter for a late lunch/early dinner after finishing my errands nearby. I picked this place because I was looking for nearby place that offerred Asian food (since my current city doesn't really offer many good options).Overall, I was satisfied with the food they offerred. Frankly, I was really surprised that the place was run by a Thai person...and had, therefore, changed what I wanted to order to a Thai dish...just because..I felt that...a Thai dish just gotta be more authentic than any other dish...and I wasn't disappointed at all! I ended up ordering dried BBQ and wonton noodles..and was very satisfied with its taste! It was something I definitely missed and it was on point! I also ordered Takoyaki..which was good..but maybe I wasn't as impressed of it as the wonderful dry noodles dish that I had!While they have lots of options for you to choose, being that the place is run by Thai people, my recommendation is to go for a Thai dish! I did with my noodles dish and was rewarded with a taste I had been missing out for so long living in my current city.Note: the dish is actually quite generous..because I ordered a side dish (takoyaki) and dried noodles (ba-mee-hang), I couldn't finish the whole noodles dish....although I loved it quite a bit, too! So..pace yourself!"

Mango Thai

★★★★☆ 3.5 (131)

"Some pretty good Thai food here. Awhile back I had the tom yum noodle soup and it was pretty tasty. Restaurant has decent amount of seating for busy lunch times. Nice tangy/sweet savory soup and good portion of noodles. I've also had the country style pad Thai recently and requested for extra spicy. That was perfect. If you like spicy and pad Thai, this was truly enjoyable. I really enjoyed the crush peanuts on the side. They have a fairly large menu, including a variety of vegetarian options as well. Overall, enjoyable restaurant to enjoy a meal. Drawback is limited free parking around the area. But they do have metered parking during the day.This location is right around the corner of Blue Ribbon bbq. Thai'me for soon good eating."

Thai Boo Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (202) • $$

"Thai Boo is located right at the town center, with a big dining area and easily recognized signage. Parking can be challenging, because the street is so busy and the area has lots of restaurants goers. Some of my favorites include its chicken wings ad pineapple fried rice. For some reason, I didn't know Pad Kee Mao means Drunken Noodles. Ah, so happy they offer drunken noodle!The prices add up quickly.

Earlier when I visited prior to July, I believe the workers had mask on. Highly recommend this place, it has a fairly easy online ordering process, where you will need to create an account. The food is prepared fast and they package very well."

Thai Taki

★★★★☆ 4.2 (54)

"This restaurant is nestled in a basic strip mall in the center of Winthrop. The decor is simple, black high top tables with booths line the side across from the bar, and low top tables like the opposite. We were greeted immediately and sat in a high top booth. The menu is extensive with several different types of options. We chose the shrimp volcano which was a bit underwhelming, the seaweed salad was tasty, the Winthrop at the beach sushi roll was delicious, and not pictured is the spicy cashew plate with chicken. The breading on the chicken was soggy and fell right off. That was something we read in other reviews so be aware. The drinks were good and service was excellent. Would try other menu options!"

Thai Amarin

★★★★☆ 4 (264) • $$

"I came here with a friend for lunch and there was a lunch menu lunch is around $16 depending on what you order. I had a tamarind duck which was delicious and tried the mango curry which was meh since the chicken was chewy,, and the mango sticky rice is divine! But of course I came at the tail end of lunch. They have a way of telling you to go after they had to hurry my sticky rice because the kitchen was closing at 3 PM but as we were about to pay the bill, I was in deep conversation, I asked the server if we could stay a little longer even though we're not gonna order anything, but she didn't really answer the question directly. She said that all the kitchen is closing...fine! And the lights were shut down. Upon leaving the restaurant, my friend and I saw one of the cooks lie down with his smart phone watching a movie on the waiting room front couch as if he was in his living room, barefoot and all. Oh well."

Rice Noodle Thai Eatery

★★★★★ 4.6 (181) • $$

"Delicious Thai food that's authentic and cooked to order. All of our dishes were delicious and I really enjoyed the balance of sweet, savory, sour and spicy. Chicken Satay-tender well seasoned grilled chicken served with a peanut sauceGreen Papaya Salad-fresh and crunchy salad with a tangy dressing Ga Prow Chicken-spicy chopped chicken. So good and perfect with rice Panang Curry Beef-intensely flavored curry with eggplant, mushrooms, crisp tender green beans and the most tender sliced beef. My favorite dish!Drunken Noodle Beef-delicious stir fried wide noodles with egg, tender beef. Another dish that was full of flavor. This was my son's favorite and he could have eaten the entire plate!This Thai restaurant is great! It's a small little restaurant with friendly staff and there's plenty of parking."

Amarin of Thailand

★★★★☆ 3.5 (129)

"Down a half-flight of stairs, Amarin of Thailand offers tasty Thai fare in picturesque Wellesley. During a holiday week, the restaurant was doing brisk take-out business - some clients had been waiting patiently for their orders. It took a while to figure out what I wanted. Do I go with my favorite, the Pad Thai? Or try the duck or a curry? In the end, I went with the familiar, even though it was loaded with calories and carbs. Since I was on vacation, I was also getting ultra-sweet Thai iced tea, as well.We started with some steamed dumplings, filled with minced chicken. They were skillfully made but lacked flavor. We also had the crab rangoons, which can be hit-or-miss. This time, the crispy won ton skins filled with crab and cream cheese and served with plum sauce was a hit. My nephew enjoyed the shrimp in blankets; my brother liked his Pad See-Ew.As for the Pad Thai, I loved the thin rice noodles with crunchy shrimp and fried egg, in a delicious sauce and topped with chopped, fragrant peanuts. It was so good, I had all of it in one sitting.Service was okay. We were warned that the Pad See-Ew and Pad Thai would take a while because of the takeout orders that preceded ours. They did, more so than the quoted time."

"OMG! This place was awesome!!! Came here for lunch and what a gem! Love the atmosphere and decor of a small diner. Service was excellent and the food was so fresh and delicious. Parking is a bit trickery because of the location. We actually parked in the CVS parking lot and walked across. But definitely if in the area make sure to stop in. Only place to find Crazy Noodles which my husband couldn't stop talking about. Mixture of large noodles with fresh veggies."

★★★★☆ 4 (992) • $$

"I hadn't been to Brown Sugar in about 20 years!! Actually reading that sentence outloud makes me feel ooooold.Brown Sugar is still amazing. I went in on a cold winter night recently and the restaurant was nice and warm. They had jazz piano playing and the vibe was perfect. The service was amazing.The gaprow chicken is one of the best. I asked if it could be medium spicy and it was perfect. The chicken satay was delicious, tender and flavorful. The thai ravioli are filled with pork and shrimp which isn't my favorite but they were still good."

Riceberry

★★★★☆ 4 (43)

"Very happy with our visit to Riceberry. We dined in on a Saturday night. Small dining area, cozy ambiance except that it was a little chilly inside. Service was attentive but not overbearing. For starters we ordered the crispy spring rolls and golden triangles (deep fried tofu). Both came with very yummy dipping sauces. For mains, we got the butternut squash curry with tofu and the ginger stir fry with chicken. The ginger stir fry had a nice assortment of veggies that tasted fresh but the sauce was just a little bland to my liking. The butternut squash curry was very good, no notes there. I thought the coconut curry sauce complemented the squash very well. Will definitely be back!"

Rod D

★★★★☆ 4 (254) • $$

"Brookline truly has some really good restaurants, Rod D being one of them! There are a bunch of Thai spots around in the area but Rod D is sooo super worth giving a try. Tonight, we were craving Thai food and decided to head on over to the area. There is plenty of meter street parking available, which was such a relief because having to drive around in circles to find parking is such a hassle sometimes. We started off with Thai iced teas, per usual, for entrees we went for the Indonesian fried rice with crispy chicken & Pad Kee Mao/drunken noodles with seafood, & ordered mango with sticky rice for dessert!Thai Iced Teas: 4/5. Good flavor, a little on the watery side. I prefer a thicker, more creamy thai tea but still good!Indonesian Fried Rice w/ Crispy Chicken: 5/5. Perfectly seasoned & had a nice kick! The spiciness isn't bad at all. It was just the right amount that makes you wanna keep eating!! I have never had Indonesian fried rice before but I surely did enjoy it. Pad Kee Mao w/ seafood: 5/5. Man, I love a good drunken noodle! The noodles were stir fried well. Very flavorful & couldn't stop eating it haha. I also loved that they gave a lot of vegetables; I am a huge fan of veggies ;)Mango w/ Sticky Rice: 5/5. THE MANGOS WERE PERFECTLY RIPE! Oh my goodness. When this dish was served to us, I could not stop looking at the color of the mangoes. You know when you just know it's gonna be a good tasting, sweet mango? Sure enough, I was right. Literally perfect! I could have like 5 more. Paired with the sticky rice, it was chef's kiss! I liked how they kept their mango with sticky rice simple and didn't drown the mangoes and sticky rice with coconut cream. Sometimes, I find that coconut cream can be a bit overwhelming so this was quite refreshing. ** I was blown away by the FAST, EFFICIENT service here! Oh my lanta. Our server took our order, and not even five minutes had passed, our entrees were served to us. It was also super busy and packed here today but I can definitely see why they are as busy as they are; quick service & absolutely delicious Thai food. AND they don't skimp on the protein either!! We didn't expect for the Indonesian fried rice (added crispy chicken) to have both the crispy chicken and regular chicken. The portion sizes are pretty hefty too so I'd say, definitely worth the price. We both still had about a 1/4 of our noodles & rice left. Would totally come back again !!"

Sen Yai Thai Noodles

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14)

"I'm a big fan of the Thai place next door, so when Sen Yai opened, I was intrigued. Their menu mostly consists of noodle dishes, but there's a good selection of appetizers, as well as a few rice dishes.We ordered the Tofu Triangles to share and I got the Bamee Moo Dang noodle soup. The tofu triangles were crisp and came with a yummy sauce, and the noodle soup was perfect for a chilly day.The space isn't super big, but even on a Sunday around lunch time, we waited no more than five minutes.I would definitely come back to try more of the menu!"

Rice Passions

★★★★☆ 4.3 (148) • $$

"Just an update... the food is still bomb dot com. The chicken satays are delicious. The steamed dumplings are what I call "the good kind" of thai restaurant dumplings..they are absolutely delicious. The kapow chicken is delicious. It was a lot more "saucy" than it is at other places but still amazing. The service is very good. The carpet needs replacing but that does not detract from this place being top notch delicious and highly recommended."

"*This is a take out review only*Every time we have gotten to go food from here it's been good. We had the Fiery Pad Thai last night and it was amaaaaazing. We also had the steamed shumai which were fantastic and the crab Rangoon. Recommend this spot if you're looking for good food to go in the area."

Sugar & Spice

★★★★☆ 3.8 (889) • $$

"After many delivery orders I finally ate in the Sugar & Spice restaurant. Place was very busy but there were a few tables open inside. I had their chicken pad thai which was very good. The staff was very attentive and food came out pretty quickly despite how busy they were. While they do a good job with takeout orders it's always nice to be able to eat on site if you happen to be in the area."

Chez Siam

★★★★☆ 3.7 (103) • $$

"I have been driving by this place for over 25 years, in some way shape or fashion. NEVER been in, but had kept telling myself that I WOULD! Headed over to Thairiffic and it was CLOSED at 2 pm on a Sunday. Seriously. I was in DIRE NEED of Thai fried rice and/or Pad Thai. With a ravenous hunger, I drove from downtown to out town, pulled up and immediately was transported to the 80's, Florida style. Yep, the 80's are calling and they want their carpet and flamingo pink colors back. If the super dated and tiredness of the restaurant don't put you off - stick with it Pepe the Prawn, because the heaping plate of seafood fried rice and the house pad thai will kick your craving to the curb... So much that I have ordered for hungry crowds and delightfully taken out. AND THAT PEANUT DRESSING ON SALAD? KILLER!Friendly, delicious, dated and divine in a pinch. Affordable too. So why not?"

Sweet Rice JP

★★★★☆ 3.9 (157) • $$

"Interesting Thai and sushi bar(?j. We stuck to the Thai menu and enjoyed the delicious food. We had the crispy chicken, panang curry chicken, and Thai basil vegetables. Everything was good and I particularly liked the crispy chicken dish. Service was good and the vibe is of a local neighborhood place."

The Bangkok

★★★★☆ 4.3 (294) • $$

"Khao Soi: Delicious. Ingredients fresh and well-balanced. The chicken leg was really good with a nice, browned exterior and tender on the inside. Both the regular noodles and crispy noodles were tasty. The curry was delicious, with a bit of a kick to it.The Bangkok Ribs: nice glaze on the outside. I really like the marinade. It's so good. The ribs were really tender and fell easily off the bone. I wouldn't say prices are cheap, but they are reasonable. Portion sizes are good."

Thai Hut

★★★★☆ 3.7 (201)

"Ordered takeout for dinner, loved how cheap everything was! The Thai tea was $3 and the lo mein was $10. The Thai tea was a bit on the sweeter side, and the lo mein was good but nothing out of the world. Great spot for a quick cheap eat!"

Thai Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (17)

"Great Thai food, and huge portions for good prices around this area. Crispy chicken pad thai was amazing, and the chicken was crispy and very moist and flavorful. Spicy udon with chicken was okay; the noodles were nicely thick and chewy, but the flavor was nothing mind-blowing."

Laughing Monk Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (81)

"3 for the Wellesley location, the other two locations may very well be mind-glowingly good. But the food/service here was not up to par, especially for the prices. Of the dishes we ordered, only two or three were vaguely memorable. Yelp, you led me wrong with this one. *shakes fist at the sky*Food: The menu is split between Thai and Japanese. We ordered the shrimp shumai as an appetizer, which was one of the better things we ordered: thin wrapper, flavorful filling. The Thai entrees were where things fell apart. I got the hot ginger dish with tofu, with a medley of veggies. Taste was all right and the tofu amount was generous but nothing stood out to me with this dish. It certainly didn't contain anything that justified the $17 price tag (not counting the side of rice, which you have to order separately, see rant below). Also tried the unagi nigiri and the fatty salmon belly, both were not bad. Everything else, including the royal broccoli, was similarly mid and had the same "brown sauce" flavor. Portions were criminally small for the price. I had to eat a snack at home afterwards (and I don't have the largest appetite in the world).Indulge me with a mini-rant. Laughing Monk charges extra for a side of rice for all the entrees that normally come with rice. Ask any self-respecting Asian person if they will eat a stir fry or anything sauce-y without rice. I don't like it when restaurants do this sort of nickel and diming. Just make the entree more expensive to build in the cost of rice. Don't even get me started on the $2 side of wasabi and pickled ginger. Their online menu, which featured a number of sushi options that made us want to go (a chirashi bowl, an Uni don) is takeout only, with no mention of it being such. We didn't find that out until we got to the restaurant. Prices on the online menu aren't updated. All in all - pretty misleading. Service: Not particularly warm or friendly. We came on a busy Saturday night, which probably explains it. Parking: I have a soft spot for downtown Wellesley because parking is super easy and abundant. They even put little green hoods over the parking meters reading "Compliments of Wellesley." How nice is that? We found a spot right behind the restaurant. Overall, I don't think I'll be back. Eating out right now is too expensive to justify mediocre food/service."

Basil n' Spice Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (226) • $$

"Just off restaurant laden and bustling Shrewsbury street is this unassuming Thai food restaurant. Most of the Yelp reviews I read leaned toward the positive, so we decided to give it a try for lunch on this unseasonably cold Saturday afternoon.We were the second patrons of the day and seated immediately. The menus were already on the table and the options are fairly extensive. We ordered:- Scallion Pancakes $8.95- Chicken Dumplings (fried) $8.95- Honey Duck Meal $25.95Our food arrived about 20 minutes after our order, we were surprised the appetizers took that long, as in many Asian restaurants, these arrive much faster. The Chicken Dumplings were the best dish, hot, nicely fried and tasty. The Scallion Pancakes were dry, bland and a little overcooked. The Honey Duck was disappointing, it was also dry, there was very little sauce to help it, and the carrots were cool. It wasn't a well executed dish.We would be unlikely to return here, as there are a plethora of other restaurants to choose from in this area. Overall this visit warranted 2.5 stars, rounded up to three stars for the polite and reasonably prompt service."

Divine Thai

★★★★☆ 4.2 (111) • $$

"Divine Thai is about 15 minutes away, and with a Yelp 4.5 star rating, we decided to give it a try. It is located in a small town and has a free parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. The decor is pleasant and fairly bright with two large windows up front. The front booths are very nice, with large tables and a "main street" view, but the benches are wood, and would benefit from a seat cushion of any type.We were greeted and seated promptly, and immediately provided with menus. My co-diner wanted a glass of white wine and was told there was only one type of cold white wine available. So, she agreed to try it and we ordered our appetizers.* Fried Pork Dumplings - 7 Pieces $5.50* Shrimp Shumai - 7 Pieces $5.50The appetizers arrived quickly and were served with two sauces. Both the dumplings and the ginger sauce were delicious. The shumai was good, though we have had better. A pretty good beginning to our dinner, and we moved on to entrees. We ordered:* Pad Woonsen with Duck (glass noodles with egg bean sprouts, carrots, etc.) - $13.95* Divine Fried Rice (Rice with chicken, shrimp, bean sprouts, carrots, etc.) - $9.95We thought the Divine Fried Rice dish was the better of the two, though the broccoli had an unappealing taste and the chicken was dry and overcooked. The Pad Woonsen was very disappointing, as the dish was on the dry side, and the duck was very dry and overcooked. We flagged down the waiter and asked for a side of the ginger sauce which helped mitigate the dryness.Overall, we'd give this dinner a three-star rating, and would be willing to try it again, but wouldn't go out of our way to do so."

Coconut Thai Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (132) • $$

"I used to order food from here during my undergraduate years a few years ago and it was always so good. I recently ordered it today and the quality for the pad thai for me was not that good from what I remembered it to be. As you can see, it was just noodle and the taste was a little too sweet and I wish it was a bit more savory/spicy like I asked it to be. The chicken satay was good and the summer rolls was alright (I wouldn't order it again). For the price, I thought that it was solid because it was cheap for all of this and still hit the spot."

Lemon Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.5 (193)

"Oh Lemon Thai, how I missed you. Wellesley alum here and first things first: Country Style Pad Thai, Crispy Chicken Pad Thai, and Crab Rangoons... always and forever pls. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed by their curry dishes so I don't order these. The only new addition to my usuals is the soft shell crab appetizer/entree and crispy duck!"

Little Spoon Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (79)

"Been waiting to try this place. It finally happened! Love the interior. Honestly, Needham has an underrated restaurant scene. There are so many great places there. Love the pad thai. It was spicy and made with chicken. No left overs.My table ordered dumplings and coconut shrimp that looked awesome. The reviews they gave were 5 star. Service was great. People so friendly. I'll be back to this place. I'm excited to try more dishes."

"I arrived at 12:30 on a Wednesday and was welcomed by a very friendly girl who served me my Wonton soup and a super yummy plate of PadThai. I loved it! Food was made fresh and quick. The ambiance is really nice, small cozy family restaurant in a busy plaza. I will be back!Ps photo of a half eaten dish- yum!"

DAKZEN

★★★★☆ 4.1 (576) • $$

"Great little Thai restaurant offering a wide variety of authentic Thai dishes. I ordered the Ba Mee Moo Dang ($13), which had egg noodles, BBQ red pork, crispy pork belly, pork & shrimp wontons, and some other ingredients as well. This was a delicious bowl with different flavors and textures within it. It also came with a bowl of chicken broth on the side.The fried gyozas ($7) were nice and crispy on the outside and tasty as well.The pink guava juice ($3) was just from a little bottle and had a slightly strange taste, so that was just so-so in my opinion.The place is pretty small / cute, with colorful decor to give it a bright feel. The staff are pretty friendly and the service speed is decent. We were able to just walk in and grab a table on a weekend night (granted it was a bit rainy).Overall, Dakzen is a very solid choice for Thai food in the Davis Square area. While it was not quite 5 star quality, it gets a solid 4 stars from me."
