Very nicely decorated place in downtown Somerville. Bit of a draft inside, so we decided to sit outside, as the weather was nice. It is positioned in a bit of a weird spot, as an apartment staircase splits the two halves of the restaurant, so there can be occasional foot traffic outside in the seating area. Food was good—I would recommend getting the golden puffs to start, as they were very delicious. Had the Bangkok duck as the entree, which was also good, but a little tough. We were celebrating a birthday, so I requested a cake. I was offered two free little cakes, which I happily accepted. When the tab came around, however, the staff insisted that we would be charged for the cakes and they weren’t free. Bummer.

The restaurant is absolutely wonderful for lunch. The staff was personable and very helpful. The food was spectacular. Not too much just right on portions. The chicken papaya salad was fantastic. Personally never thought of using a green papaya. A definite place to bring clients, friends and coworker and have lunch !!

Saturday night on Division Street is always a good time. There was live music that night and we got to restaurant 15 mins before it started. They were able to seat us inside even though we did not have a reservation. The hostess and wait staff were pleasant. My mom and I shared appetizer sampler, Chilean sea bass and grilled chicken. The food was very well prepared and portion sizes were great. Loved the sauces that came with grilled chicken. Our waiter was not familiar with the menu as I had to point out our selections to him and he also could not tell us what the sauces were except cilantro (he thinks). Also, it was pretty dark inside.

Found this place by accident but let’s just say, As soon as you walk in the ambience is so relaxing. The waitress helped us out with some of the dishes. Even though she ordered me the wrong dish! It was so worth her mistake. The food was amazingly delicious and so flavorful. Let’s just say we were so full but we had to eat it all! Definitely have to go back to tryout other dishes.

Such delicious food and great atmosphere. The coconut rice wrapped in banana leaf on the side of my dish is the best I’ve ever had. Try the affogato for dessert!

So good!!! 5 out of 5 & BYOB – the owners have 30 years of Thai culinary expertise and I love the elevated French twist. Portions are huge. It’s on a quiet walking street in charming downtown Somerville. So easy to mix and match and overall very friendly staff and ambience.

Food was outstanding and I cannot wait to return. Had a reservation but didn’t need one, it wasn’t overly busy at 6:30. They did bring out one of the dishes with shrimp instead of beef but they quickly fixed the mishap. Love that it’s BYOB!!

We love getting authentic Thai food here. The food is fresh, delicious and comes as a good sized portion. You can customize based on the meat option you want or get a vegetarian option. They even made someone we went with fried rice with beef, which was not on the menu. It’s BYOB so plan to bring your own if you want alcohol.

Big fan of this Thai place in Somerville. I always try to come here when I am in town! I like that they have a smaller menu, but more focus on what they make. The pad Thai is the perfect blend of savory and tang. Golden curry puffs and chicken satay are always a favorite. It was a beautiful afternoon, so I sat outside with a friend, but the beautiful interior is suitable for groups and different occasions! Highly recommend everyone checks this place out.

First time here..been to the other location in basking ridge. It’s a BYOB. Loved the food. Although the tuna appetizer was a bit small for the price. Everything else was good proportion and taste was wonderful. Ingredients were fresh and spice levels matched what was requested.
