Decent portion, food was good but could have been better. The sauce was a little too salty and the rice was rather wet.

We ordered crispy chicken pad thai and spicy tofu ramen. The food was 2/5, it didn’t taste super authentic. However, what was really bad was that there was a bug near our food and the water cup they have had some sort of dirt at the bottom. By that time we had already paid so there was nothing they could do, but they should definitely pay more attention to cleanliness, specifically in the summer

I discovered this gem last month and have had food from here multiple times since then. My favorites are pad thai, drunken noodles and cashew curry. Quantity is good. Their lunch deal is cool too with appetizer and a drink.

Food was very good. I’m a Pad Thai snob and really liked theirs. Large portions, not overly oily like many others in the genre. We ate in, but got the sense they mostly do take out.

My boyfriend eats lunch here ALL the time and I was just dying to try it! I was fully satisfied with this place, loved the food! Taste as good as it looks, super delicious. My son had shrimp fried rice and it was also delicious, the crab ragoon are amazing! Will be visiting again soon. Great stuff!

We ordered from Jumbowl by Basil Rice. I got the grilled fish with sweet sauce and rice. I liked that the sauce was not over drizzled over the fish so the fish was still a bit crisp by the time we got our order.

UberEats order – Pad siu with crispy fish and BBQ wings – all great.

Not expensive but also not worth it at all if you’re used to Asian food. If you’re Asian avoid this place, the only people that may enjoy this are people that didn’t grow up eating Asian food and know what good Asian food is

I’ve been here a few times and was never really disappointed. We ordered a few dishes drunken noodle(my fav), house fried rice orange chicken and they were all good taste wise. I think the noodles is small for price but everything else seemed reasonably priced. This is 1 of the top 3 go to in Brookline.

I ride past this place everyday & finally stopped in. So glad I did. It’s a hidden gem! I’ve been there 3 times this wk & will make return again sometime soon. The food is good, tastes super fresh. I purchased their chicken teriyaki w/ white rice & their version of orange chicken (pictured below). My son wasn’t too fond of it as he’s never gotten dry crispy chicken for orange chicken. I did call to complain about the issue, left a detailed msg and received no response.
