Our first visit so we ordered more food than we could finish because we wanted to try a variety of menu items. Pad see you can be made with flat rice noodles or egg noodles and our choice of flat rice noodles with shrimp was good. Noodles were a tad too over cooked for our preference but flavor was very good. Pad Thai was ok and was quite sweet with a syrupy glaze at the bottom of the plate. The noodles were more over cooked in this dish and we probably would not order it again. There was a fried mackerel special today (pla lui suan) which was excellent with a fresh chili sauce that complemented it perfectly. The Kao soi was delicious with velvety chicken, crispy wonton bits on top and these noodles were perfect texture in the curry based broth. Wings Zab is also a winner. We got the spicy version and it is salty, sour, sweet and spicy at the same time dressed with red onions and cilantro. Another great appetizer is the Karee puff. They have two options and we went with the curry potato filling (vs sweet taro). The pastry is flaky and light and they made it to order so it was hot and delicious. Overall this place is a great option and we will return to try the rest of the menu. The staff is helpful and friendly. Get the Thai iced tea. You’ll need it to cool off from the wings. Overall a 4.5.

My family usually rotates among just a few favorite restaurants for takeout, and ever since we tried Boonnoon about a year ago, it has firmly been one of those few! We love the food here so much, and the people who work here are so kind as well. Our regular dishes are the khao soi, pad khing stir fry, pad see you, pad cha, and pla lui suan (we are not always the biggest fish people, but the way they prepare this mackerel and the sauce served alongside it is so delicious!). The satay starter with tofu is so yummy as well, and when ordered with extra toast you can eat it like a sandwich with the peanut sauce and pickled veggies:) Oh!! And the thai iced tea is amazing too

Love the passion that the owner of the store has for sharing great authentic and creative Vietnamese food with others. Everyone that works there is very friendly and accommodating: if you have any food allergies, let them know about dishes you wish to try and they will suggest ways to switch out ingredients to make dishes gluten free/vegan/vegetarian (including paying attention to things like fish sauce, soy sauce, marinades, etc). The spicy noodles were wonderful- savory, crunchy, refreshing. Pad Thai a bit too sweet for my preference, could use more acidity even with extra limes, but still very good. Eggplant dish excellent but on spicier side (which I like). Spice/heat is typical of more authentic Asian food- a slow burn that builds but does not overwhelm flavor, but may be much for someone that is not used to spice. Dessert of the day stood out, especially the custard over rice: unique, comforting, not too sweet. The sweet potato with condensed milk was very unique and creative- sweetness highlighted by salt added to rich condensed milk. Hibiscus tea tangy and refreshing, Thai tea a bit sweet for my taste. Highly highly recommend, one of best Thai restaurants I’ve tried. Food prices very fair as well.

Staff is super friendly. Great atmosphere. Food came quick. But a market it is not. There is a couple bookcases with some snacks and a couple of drink coolers with varies beverages but definitely not a market, which is why we stopped.

Easily the best Thai food we’ve eaten in Boston @boonnoonmarket in Arlington MA. And we’ve tried Dakzen, 9 Zaab, Mahaniyom and Kor Tor mor. L to R: Shrimp Donuts-fried, breaded, shrimp in donut form. What’s not to like? Ua Lao – Northern Thai sausage. Homemade and so full of new flavours. Khao Soi – Best balance of fish sauce, chili, curry and coconut milk. Nothing overpowers. Drunken Noodle with Shrimp – It could have been spicier but one of the best we’ve had. No shortcuts on shrimp, herbs and flavour. The little market is packed with Thai snacks, ingredients, sauces and beverages. Will definitely go back!

I just got back from a trip from Thailand for the first time and since being back I cannot stop looking for authentic Thai food! I had the Khao Soi and it was delicious! At a reasonable price too! Other places are charging $20 and here it is $12! It is sooo good!! I live 40 minutes away from here and go atleast once a week! The pad Thai was also amazing!! Such fresh ingredients you can tell it was just made fresh!!

I have had Thai food on many occasions and in different places. However, this place has the best Thai food I have ever eaten. The people in this store are the kindest and most attentive I have dealt with. The food is excellent and tastes rich with flavor. I am a vegetarian and they adjusted the food based on my requirements. If you are in Cambridge, I would recommend stopping by and eating at this place.
