Reviewing based on lunch offerings (since dinner menu is very different and has more variety but I haven’t tried them yet)

Amazing place, delicious food and great service. So reasonably priced too, I couldn’t believe it! Crab Rangoon was out of this world, as well as the pineapple rice. I’ll be back!

Food was fantastic! I had Panang Curry with chicken, and despite the generous portion, I was happy right through the last bite.

Loved their noodles. I was craving on Asian food because I had only western cuisine for a few days. Found this spot by walking around MIT. I didn’t expect much but the food was great and the customer service was super good.

A hidden gem with authentic Thai/Indonesian flavors. Tried the Indonesian fried rice, Pad Khee Mao (drunken noodles), and the original street noodles, and everything was a pleasant surprise. The drunken noodles had really soft texture and they were seasoned perfectly. The street noodles were unique (never tried or seen before), and I really enjoyed all the variety of meats that came with it. The fried rice was also excellent, and the chicken cutlets on top were impeccable as well. Judging from the photos, I initially thought all the dishes came in small portions, but they were in fact the same as typical portions that you would get from Thai restaurants. Although I only dropped by for a minute for the pickup, I could also tell that the owner was nice and friendly. Definitely one of my new favorites in Cambridge, and I look forward to trying their other menu.

Nice size portion with a good price. The mango curry was delicious. Unfortunately the Indonesian fried rice was a bit mushy. The fried chicken wing was nice and crispy but nothing exceptional about the dipping sauce.

If you have not been here yet, don’t wait! The food is excellent, quite authentic and such a delight. The restaurant is run by a wonderful couple, she’s the chef, and he runs the front of the house. Every single dish here I’ve gotten was tasty. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s great for dining, and they have outdoor seating as well.
