Super tasty, and unique Thai compared to other spots in Cambridge. Got the Guay Tio Haang and was super impressed, the sausage pieces stood out in every bite. Fast service, friendly, lot of heart in this place. Will definitely be coming back.

Went here for a late lunch. Food was very good. I especially enjoyed the Chicken Green Curry Ramen. I don’t eat pork so often ramen is not something I order – but this was creative and delicious. The service was very good, and kind. Restaurant is a bit snug with an open kitchen. The window counter seating was very nice. Tables might not be as comfortable.

I enjoyed many of their catering items especially the beef krapow and paid see ew. The pad thai was aldo very good. There is seasoned fried rice. There are many protein options. You can also get Japanese options here.

Decent Thai food but not the best in town. Picked up the black pepper steak and the red BBQ pork over rice. Pepper steak tasted similar to bulgogi, but it wasn’t as amazing as some people portrayed. The combination of beef with lettuce would have been better in a burger instead of rice, and a side of mayo would have enriched the flavors. The BBQ pork was also dry and it wasn’t as good as the ones I’ve tried at other Thai restaurants in the neighborhood.

The best item on the menu is Khao Moo Daeng(rice with roasted red pork). The owner is very friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and served very quickly. The portions are very generous and you can upgrade to a large size for only $2-3 extra. I will definitely be back again very soon.

Cute little place. Always hear from people when it comes to Thai, always try to go for those cute little places, they offer the super street style food. I had a similar experience. I had the pad thai(beef). Maybe the portion size could have been better but I also did go for the small plate. PS- they have good varieties of hot sauce.
