My husband and I ordered delivery over the weekend- I had been craving thai and after reading reviews on a couple different Quincy places we went with this one. So happy with our choice! My husband got the spicy bamboo, a dish he enjoys at Little Duck. He liked Pad Thai's version but his only complaint was regarding the noodles- they were overcooked in his opinion- they had formed kind of one big blob in the to go container. I got the Tom Young Goong and the crispy noodle chicken pad thai. Sooooooo good! I think next time I will try the regular pad thai. The only complaint I had was similar to something someone else said- there were only like 2 green onions in it. My husband loved the crispy pad thai noodles much more than the noodles he got. The Tom Young Goong was amazing- licked the bowl. Only downside was that there were only 2 shrimp in it. Deliver was prompt, great containers as another reviewer pointed out, and the delivery person was very friendly. We will be ordering again!!!

First and last time ever coming here. Came here around 8:30pm and their was one other table, the girl working the counter didn't bother to give us menus until I approached her. Bad first way to start. Got the crispy rad Na with crispy chicken. Very disappointed, the sauce was extremely salty and the chicken itself was really bland. After 4 or 5 bites I was all set. Also got a Thai iced tea which tasted kinda sour, also pretty disappointed. Finally when the bill came, I noticed their was an order for goong tog (I think that's how you spell it) which was an appetizer we ordered but never received. Had to get the get bill fixed. Overall it was an extremely disappointing meal with lackluster service. If you want decent Thai food in Quincy go to Little Duck instead.

I am writing this review as i am eating my pad thai .. The order with the chicken and shrimp option came with 2 shrimps and 3 small pieces with chicken. For 9$ I guess i am used to being spoiled with too much shrimp and meat at the thai resturants in brighton like duk bua. Never ordering here again. On top of that i paid online and the delivery guy didnt leave until he made sure i handed him some tip $

Sigh. I keep giving this place another chance, and each time, it just disappoints me more. The crispy basil chicken was soggy, the veggies sad and indistinct from one another, and although somewhat 'basil-ily' was definitively non-spicy. My boyfriend ordered the Tom Yum Soup and deemed it 'disappointing.' He, the beneficiary of a healthy appetite, did not even finish his portion. A summary of previous orders- Dumplings - flavorless Udon Garlic Chicken- flavorless and lacked any noticeable garlic flavor. Noodles were soggy and creepily slick and eggy. Thai Rolls - I think you get the idea. gross. pros? Delivery prompt, packaging = excellent. I've reused the containers the chicken dishes came in. Use of foodler app + expenditure of $30 or more gets you free food such as a small dumpling order. I'm going to stick with Little Duck for now on. I

Taking off a star the last 2 times I have had delivery it has taken way past the estimated time. Last Wednesday it took them an hour and a half for a lunch time delivery.....

This place is a pretty good take out or eat in Thai place. Their mango dishes are pretty good. I would recommend this place to local people living in Quincy. I had the shrimp fried rice with mango and it wasn't bad! I would come here again. However, the food they deliver to your house doesn't taste as great as eating in the restaurant.
(4)Kyra L.
Definitely my new spot for Thai food. When you order online you have the option to change the spicyness of the food. I got the drunken noodles with mild spice and my boyfriend got the pad thai hot and spicy. The food was delicious and fast! We will def be ordering from here again
(5)Tracey L.
I tried this place out when it first opened and it was pretty good. However, since then I've noticed the quality and quantity haven't been as good. I usually get the chicken mango curry, duck fried rice, and crispy chicken garlic rice. The portion size you get isn't really worth the price. Only lunch comes with rice, dinner you have to pay for separately. I'll probably come here again if I'm craving Thai, but only because it's convenient and there aren't many Thai restaurants around the area.
(3)Sonia N.
Solid Thai restaurant for takeout. Hands down much better than Little Duck over in Quincy Center. There really is no comparison. Here's a few of the tried and true dishes: Pad Thai Seafood or salmon in red or green curry Seafood Thai basil Pad see you Beef gra pow
(4)Steve R.
Be careful to verify that they are open if you are putting in an online order. It's very frustrating to put in a take-out order, show up a half hour later, and find the restaurant closed.
(1)Adrianne L.
They do a sweet version of pad Thai and I didn't enjoy it at all. There were trace amounts of peanuts (probably because they don't enhance the dish's sweetness) and literally four pieces of soggy green onions. The tofu tasted old, as if it was cooked previously, sat around for a loooong time then reheated for my order. The one thing I did like is the size of the noodles but that's about it.
(2)Mary L.
If you've tried Lime Leaf over in Weymouth, then you know this place does not even compare. Though price point is good, selection is adequate, it comes out short on taste. Drunken noodles and pad thai were on the dry side, scallion pancakes seemed to be fried 30 seconds too long, and pineapples on the pineapple fried rice tasted like they were dumped after the plating. The place is small with only 6-7 tables. I'll cut the guy manning the front some slack as he doubled as the takeout person and server. However, on a slow Monday night, he gave us some whack service. Didn't bother greeting us when we walked in, essentially had us fetch our own menus, and brought us waters halfway through our app. I guess this is an okay joint if you don't want to venture over to Weymouth.
(3)John W.
The food is good but the price doesn't justify it. When I order a dish and it costs $1-2 more than in Boston, there has to be a reason. The food is similar to what I have had at other restaurants so the pricing isn't justified. There is less meat in their dishes and more rice/noodles.
(3)Alexis B.
Ehhh... I am not impressed. I wanted to try something different tonight and unfortunately it was not worth it. I ordered the teriyaki wings which had NO sauce, the crispy chicken which was SUPER dry and the chicken Pad Thai which my brother said was okay. Nothing about this place was worth the ride to Quincy or a second chance. I am giving three stars because I was really hungry and did eat most of it but it was just too bland for the price.
(3)Aditya G.
Me and my wife went there for take out dinner as we have heard that they have the best Thai food in the town. Everything we ordered was awful. We had special request to make our food spicy but we got very very sweet food as if we are having deserts and not Thai food. They have all those newspaper clippings about there restaurant and how great there food is, I don't know how old those clippings are but the food is not at all great.
(1)Welina F.
Fast service, delicious food, and moderate portions. GrubHub friendly, descriptive plates (in case you're like me and have no idea about Thai culture and cuisine), and the food is always piping hot. I can't say enough about this place. Ordering from here is no mistake! Take the chance and do it!
(5)Catie C.
OK people, close the door behind you when you go in and out!! I know, it's not your fault that the door doesn't auto close; but hey, it's family run business putting food on your table. They have 5 space heaters going on in the petite dining area which stirred me into trying to find a central heating system. I saw no vents nor baseboards. Is that even legal!? You can rent out a space with no heat? Anyways, this joint has become my go to for Thai food in Quincy. I love their spring rolls cuz it comes hot burning hot and not greasy at all! A-OK on the Pad Thai, good texture and good tasting sauce. If it was a tad less sweet, it would've been perfect. I love their curry cuz it freakingly tastes like curry! As for the service, the jack of all trades did a fine job for considering everything she was handling. Phone, pack take out, service dining room and took care of take out customers. She was basically doing everything except the cooking and delivery! Takeout/Delivery orders were super busy. With all that going on, she was able to clear our table between courses and gave us clean dishes for dinner. On top of that, she came by to check if dinner was OK! P.S. Gov Deval Patrick is a regular here.
(5)Carlos C.
This place never disappoints. Tried Pad See Yu, Pad Thai, Rangoon, duck fried rice...all good
(5)Anton C.
i dont mean to sound like an uncultured american, but their crab ragoons? YES. chicken wings? FLIPPIN YES! forget all the other places with their cheap american-asian food.. come here for some REAL classy appetizers done right. forget cathay pacific and come get some garlic ginger wings. afternoon tea time? get some thai iced tea with some lightly fried calamari with a fancy sweet dipping sauce. Their thai dishes are pretty good i guess... if you like it real sweet. If you are worried about your blood sugar then ask them to take it easy. when i eat there i often feel like winnie the pooh losing his shits devouring honey. but 5 stars, love it.
(5)Caroline H.
Overall good food decent prices. Tasty. Tom yum soup is ok not my preference fishy taste. Curry puffs r good but small bite size. My friends got the veggie fried rice and crispy chicken with rice. they liked it. Didn't like how the waitress didn't offer the rice and tell us its extra. Usually you're supposed to ask a customer that. Dont just add it to the order.
(4)S M.
Went here for the first time. Service was bad, busy looking at computer before finally asked what I would like. Ordered pad Thai and does not look appetizing. Looks totally different from the picture. Not very colorful only have green onions and sprouts for vegetables. Wanted spicy which they forgot and they just mixed in chili oil and that was it. Tastes awful and nothing amazing about the food. The pho countryside has much better pad Thai and tastes amazingly better plus spicy with no chili stuff added to it and is a pretty dish. I would not recommend going here. One more thing, ordered take out and didn't give me any utensils or napkins. Would not be going back the food tastes awful!!!!!
(1)Laura H.
A small joint tucked in along Quincy Center, Pad thai is the Thai place I have been searching for. The delicious dishes: *Pad Thai - I personally wish there were more green onions but the pad thai is bright and layered in flavor. Be sure to specify the heat level if you want it. One time it was just hot enough and another it was the kind of burn that hurt even while I couldn't stop eating it. *Tom Yum Goong - So spicy it clears out the sinuses and so delicious I can't help but order it every time. *Steamed Dumplings - The dipping sauce is too die for and I tend to prefer my dumplings plain and pure. I have yet to visit enough times to really suss out the extensive menu but the classics are delicious, the service is fast and friendly, and parking is on the street. Don't miss out on this gem!
(5)Quis S.
i usually do NOT write reviews but this was so insane I have to. I order from this spot quite frequently when at work. Usually I never ask for anything special. Today I ordered 2 rice plates and requested NO ONIONS. This was going to be me and my girls dinner tonight so when the delivery came, i didnt bother to check it. Now when I get home and finally open my food my rice plate didnt even have rice!!!! it had the meat vegatables and ONIONS i did not request but no rice...WTF!!! My girls plate onions , on my receipt it says no onions on both orders but here i am picking out onions and her not even able to eat. unbelieveable.
(1)Moumita B.
Had a take out yesterday .. Very tasty,fresh and staff were friendly to suggest .. However prices are on the higher side for a take out, which did not have rice included.
(4)Joanne H.
All I can say is WOWZA! So freaking delicious. Went there with a friend for lunch on Sunday and they had specials! The 2 of us ate for $10 ! A soup (the chicken Tom yum was out of this world good), appetizer (I got the steamed pork dumplings, she got them fried - steamed was definitely better) and a choice of entrees - we both got the chicken pad Thai. It was delicious and they didn't skip on the meat like a lot of places do. The only quibble was no bean sprouts. Definitely the new go to place, and it's just around the corner. Doesn't get any better!
(5)Kerri W.
By far the best and better than Little Duck! My boyfriend lives right up the street from Little Duck so we've gone there many times. First, because it was good food. Second out of convenience. However, the last couple of times we've ordered it's been delivered cold and not at all good. Happy to happy to have found this place. Oh and our food came piping hot!! Bonus...
(4)Caitlin C.
Unfortunately, Pad Thai lost my business tonight. I have ordered here successfully several times and gladly drive the 15 minutes from my home to pick up some good Thai food. Not only was my order of $35 completely incorrect--it was bland and more rice than meat/vegetable. I order the same items nearly every time and even after repeating myself 3 times over the phone--I ended up with some completely different stuff. I called back to clarify the issue--mostly to bring it to their attention and instead of an apology or an offer of making things write--I was met with even more confusion. Anyone suggest a better Thai food place in Quincy/Dorchester?
(1)Mary Jane J.
This is my go-to place for thai take out. I've had numerous dishes and they have all been very good. Super fast delivery and really nice staff.
(4)Jay R.
Today I ordered from Pad Thai Quincy -Food is inconsistent Today I got Phad Thai,Shrimp& Veggie Tempura, Dumplin. The Dumpling was delicious as always. The tempura was just ok,coating looked horrible but tasted ok. Maybe they should use another coating. Pad Thai and shrimp was good and fresh but lacked flavor. The only taste was of chili pepper. May you should have lunch at little duck in Quincy and Bankok Blue in Bost and learn how to good quality Thai food instead of half assed Thai Food. Get it Guys.
(3)Jackie H.
I've been back here many times ordering different items off the menu. I've found that my favorite go to is anything with mango. Mango curry, mango fried rice with chicken etc. Unfortunately, however, the last two times I've placed an order with Pad Thai the mango was bitter, the peas were hard, and the chicken had a lot of fat to it. I really like the location and the variety and I think it can go without saying that I love Thai food in general. Start caring about the food you place in your customers hands! We want fresh ingredients, not expired.
(2)Katie L.
I love this place! I always get take-out here. It is so delicious and affordable. The Pad Thai does not disappoint- It tastes so fresh and is consistently good. The portions are also large enough to have leftovers. The staff is also very friendly!
(5)Dave C.
I live right around the corner from here so I tend to get stuff from this place a lot. They have great food, reasonable price, and when it comes to delivery they are very quick. I think my only ding would be that they are a little on the conservative side when it comes to heat (but then again, we Americans can be kinda wussy about that). I'm enjoying trying the variety of food from them. There isn't a heck of a lot of seating inside the restaurant, so don't expect to dine in with a large group, but take out is a definite specialty.
(4)Katherine V.
Been a customer here for a few years now. Yummy food, never stale, friendly service, and is delivery and take out. I suggest the garlic chicken rice and all the appetizers. If your not into spicy, dont get the tom yum, there is plenty of other deliciousness on the menu.
(4)Christopher L.
I am writing this review after my second time back. On my first visit I had pad see you with crispy chicken and Thai rolls. Both dishes came out piping hot and the portion is big enough for left overs. This second visit I tried the chicken satay (ok it's not Thai) and the crispy chicken garlic rice. The satay is straight forward but the rice dish was delicious. Service for me is just fine, discreet and polite. I am not expecting anything extravagant. My water glass was kept full. I would like to confirm that the restaurant is clean. I will be back.
(4)Anna K.
Very small, tiny restaurant in a Quincy area. BUT! If it small it doesn't mean to be bad! The food is good, fresh and crisp. Not too much oil, or fat, or uncooked items. Everything taste how it supposed to be. My favorite- basil rice with seafood, the taste of basil.. So good...and tasty, big shrimps. The beef salad also delicious ! But make sure you like spicy , because if you are not you mouth will be on fire :)
(5)Tom M.
Ah, Pad Thai. Food is phenomenal but calling in the order is painful. I dread ordering from them because it can take over 10 minutes to accurately explain what you want and where it's going (not exaggerating). Despite the excruciatingly slow order taking, the food is worth the wait
(4)Alicia R.
They are very accommodating of dietary restrictions, and have a very solid menu. Best Thai in the Quincy area!
(4)Kathy S.
Wow! This place is pretty freaking delicious!! I always want to try something different but I just can't stop ordering crispy chicken pad thai..IT"S THAT GOOD!!! We go here for lunch all the time and I should really mix it up! I will try my hardest next time.. The place is SUPER clean inside and the staff is very friendly. Just a little pre-warning if you go in there in the winter they do not have heat! It's the weirdest thing. They bring you over a little electric heater to your table to warm you up with. I never dine in the restaurant. But, just be aware if you want to go there and eat inside! Also..once when I was going there to pick up my lunch. I was watching them cut up a huge piece of pork in the kitchen. First, the kitchen is absolutely spotless. Second, the meat he was cutting was one of the nicest cuts of pork I think I may have ever seen. He was cutting it on a very clean cutting board with all clean utensils. This is also what always brings me back to this place after witnessing what I saw. Maybe I'm crazy..But, I feel this place is very clean in the kitchen and I like how you can see what's going on back there!
(4)Melissa R.
YUMS the word folks! Visited multiple times, and have also received home delivery. The food is very good and fairly consistent. I have never had an overly greasy or tasteless dish as of yet. They are also happy to please, as I like my Pad Thai with both the sweet and spice, so I ask them to spice it up a bit. They will always bring a dish of sauces to your table also. The price is extremely reasonable, the service is polite and all that jazz. It's a small place so seating may not always be available. But it's so good you wouldn't want to walk away with nothing, so get take out if you can't wait for a seat to open up! It's my goto Thai in the local area.
(5)Sylvia C.
Ordered takeout here on numerous occasion here...and the food has always been solid good. Favorite items - pad thai and basil seafood fried rice.
(4)Sheila F.
Their mango curry is amazing! Great service, quick delivery.
(5)Alexia W.
So good. So good. I get the curry puffs and the prik prao fried rice every time. I order so often the delivery guys know me. If you live in the Quincy area and you're looking for great Thai food -- this is it. Best Thai food I've ever had. Give it a shot.
(5)Rocky K.
OMG the taste of the food here is AMAZING. How can one make such a delicious food, am glad to have dinner at Pad Thai today. If you are mainly looking the quality and taste of the food, Pad Thai should be the FIRST thing to come to your mind. The serving lady there is awesome, intelligent, kind and shows a very good hospitality to the customers. I will sure become a regular customer at Pad Thai from today. Don't miss it guys go taste the food there and then leave your opinion under my review.
(5)Cindy L.
The Pad Thai is delicious as well as their steamed shumai. The sauce for the shumai is sweet and tasteful. However one time, i ordered the shumai and when they delivered it to my house the meat inside was still very raw and Perhaps they were too busy and didn't give it enough time to steam properly? But otherwise i never had an issue here. I used to have to travel all the way to canton to eat pad thai but now I found this place just a couple months ago and they're great! My advice though: no matter how busy you are, still try your best to deliver "cooked" meals and now raw ones. Still love this place though!
(4)Terrence O.
I love this place. It's a great addition to a city saturated with generic Asian American restaurants (don't get me wrong, some of then are pretty good). I've been twice. Both times, I ordered the crispy chicken Pad Thai. I asked for it spicy and it arrived at my house in about 20 minutes (and still piping hot). Pad Thai perfection! It wasn't overwhelmingly spicy but offered plenty of kick. The only reason I can't give five stars is the Tom Kha soup. It was pretty bad. I love coconut soup but this was extremely watery and lacked any heartiness you'd usually get with the addition of carrots or potatoes. In any case, if you're tired of the same old Asian fare or are just looking for great Thai food without going in town, check out Pad Thai. I was pleasantly surprised.
(4)David C.
One of the biggest rip offs with Thai food! You would think with the name of the restuarant it must make a really good Pad Thai! No they don't! It was greasy, watery and just a plain rip off! I been here a couple of times and received the the same results. I ordered the chicken and shrimp Pad Thai and they gave two shrimps! With a price tag that high, I would expect more than 2 shrimps! Unfortunately there are not much Thai options in Quincy, and I have a couple of friends that like the place. Maybe it was my bad night, or it was their bad night, but unfortunately I can't give them another chance.
(1)Paige A.
Phenomenal Pad Thai. Quick delivery and fabulous taste... I'm a repeat customer!
(5)Stephanie S.
I ordered the veggie crispy pad thai also spring rolls. The delivery came exactly like they said 40 minutes. The food was hot, delicious, not spicy just like I like it. The peanut sauce was the best around. I have to say I ordered from them because my usual Thai place wasn't open that day, they changed the hours. I am so glad I tried Pad Thai because I am actually ordering from them again tonight. I just do delivery and from the other reviews I think everyone else should to.
(4)Jessi R.
With the opening of pad Thai in Wollaston, my Asian food obsession is complete--I can now walk to any style of Asian take-out to get my fix, all on my way home from work! They opened with a bang, offering a free buffet on a beautifully sunny Saturday, and won my heart with a decent array of rice; noodles; curry, and of course, pad thai. I was worried that my antici...pation as I watched the storefront for signs of an official opening was going to build it up too much. My expectations were met, and even exceeded when I actually placed an order a few days later. They literally have the best crispy pad thai I have ever graced my mouth with (although you may want to give it a good stir to more evenly distribute the sweet sauce). And don't even get me started on the noodle selection--udon pad thai (or anything else for that matter)--um, of freakin' course! I can see that Pad Thai is going to get a lot of my money.
(5)Carissa S.
I've ordered the gluten free chicken pad thai on multiple occasions -- take out, delivery, and eat-in. Every time it is superb. It's enough to share, but I don't play well with others. So I make my friends get their own and I wish for a second I'd have leftovers the next day. But before I can even make a pro-con list of saving some for later, it's gone. In my belly. And my heart is happy.
(5)S M.
Try the northern Thai sausage.- they taste just like those we ate in Thailand last year! Friendly, authentic, delicious!
(4)David M.
This is a pretty standard american thai place that is amazing for take out, though not the greatest atmosphere for dining in. The pad thai was done well, relatively cheap and ready in 15 minutes, and comes in one of those cool plastic containers I hold on to bring lunch in the next few days.
(4)Zoe Y.
I am extremely disappointed. This place used to make great Thai food until a few days ago. My boyfriend and I ordered a calamari, pad Thai with chicken, chicken sidewalk, and brown rice. They used to have chicken thighs as the chicken for this dish and used to cook the chicken just right. This time when I got it, they replaced the chicken thighs with thin slices of chicken breast. I didn't mind at first until I tried the chicken. They were all dry. *chicken sidewalk not good* Calamari was alright but they didn't have much flavor. *calamari is just alright* Then I tried the pad Thai. It didn't taste like what it used to be. *disappointed* Thank god they didn't screw up the brown rice. I should have spent that 40 dollars on another thai place.
(1)Sarah N.
Best Thai food in Quincy. My family always orders the Duck Choo Chi Curry, Chicken Pad Paradise, Udon Pad Kee Mao, Duck Fried Rice, etc..--We've tried it all and are very impressed.
(4)Keri K.
Best home made pad Thai I ever had def. try their Tom yum soup with the coconut milk too it's out of this world delicious
(4)Helena T.
l've been there several times. I'm the fan of their duck fired rice. Especially when I go there by myself or order a take out. When I go their with my friends, we usually order Larb, Tom Yun sup and chicken curry to share.
(4)Carrie W.
This is my go-to takeout place, I love their food. Everything is well priced for the quality, and delivery is always timely with friendly service. Everything is also always packaged together well, and they use good containers. I haven't branched out too much from getting the Pad See You because it is so delicious, it's one of my favorite comfort foods. The sauce is delicious and the veggies are always fresh and cooked just right. Seriously, go try it. The Udon Garlic is pretty good too, but I prefer the Pad See You personally. I ordered my boyfriend the Crispy Rad Na extra spicy, and they delivered. Usually the 'spicy' dishes at restaurants don't do it for him, but this one was almost too spicy for him. He was delighted. Their Garlic Chicken Wings are cooked well, crispy on the outside with a really fresh sauce that even had bits of fresh garlic in it. Really satisfying. The Sticky Rice Taro / Banana desserts are also wonderfully tasty. They've got a paste on the inside, and have a few bits of black bean on the outside with the rice. They're not overly sweet, and are very filling.
(5)Dan G.
I've gotten delivery from here with some coworkers. It is pretty good. The tom yum soup was really good, and they give you a lot. Also had the thick noodle with chicken in shrimp, amazing flavors and not too sweet which many americanized places seem to do. Delivery is always super friendly and fairly quick considering the size of our orders.
(4)Brad C.
I love thai food but I do not love all Thai restaurants. This place rocks and the employees are SO so friendly. They make my things as hot as I like and are always complimentary of me when I come in. The only drawbacks for me: I wish they were open later and I wish the dining room could be a little bigger.
(5)Daisy C.
I have found it!!! I have found my new favorite Thai restaurant! 2013 was the year for changes. After being a vegetarian for years, then turned to a carnivorous being, I went back to my vegetarian roots on January 1st, 2013. That's that, there's my review. Haha? Anyway, I really love, LOVE, thai food. That being said, my expectations are high [when are they ever low?] I love Pad Thai! I've only had delivery and the delivery is always fast and super friendly! Favorite dishes: 1) Fried Tofu with Peanut Sauce- Really crunchy and moist tofu will taste tangy and sweet with the peanut sauce (which is made out of sweet and sour sauce with pieces of peanuts). 2) Tofu Fried Rice and/or the Tofu Fried Noodles- Both, just divine, really. The servings are huge, let me tell you! Prices are wallet friendly. Overall, I have ordered from Pad Thai thrice tis May! I won't order for a while, just because I need to relax with the ordering out. I love cooking too! But, you must try them!
(5)Meghan F.
Ordered online - was told it should arrive between 6:40-6:50pm. I even got a text alerting me my food left the restaurant at 6:38pm. The food didn't arrive until almost 7:30. It had been out of the restaurant for almost an hour so it was obviously cold and the pad thai was bone dry - it had no sauce left, whether because they didn't use enough or because the noodles absorbed it all on the ride, I don't know. There were also NO scallions, NO sprouts, and very little meat. It was a cold block of dry rice noodles. Total waste of money and time (waiting for them to deliver).
(1)Jon G.
I've had my eye on this place ever since the sign went up about a month ago -- Thai food on my walk home from the T? YES! I've now been twice, once to eat in and once for take-out, and the food is absolutely phenomenal. I'm a Thai food maniac -- I would eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (like Homer Simpson during his Max Power phase, I guess) -- and I can safely say this is the best around right now. I love Little Duck in Quincy Center as well, but the food here is a notch above theirs and the dining area is cozier. I would also rank it above my other long-time favorites, Dok Bua and Brown Sugar. In addition to all the usual fare -- their take on their namesake is terrific, not too sweet -- you can also get most noodle dishes with different types of noodles (like Pad Thai or Pad Kee Mao with udon noodles, for instance) and you can order most dishes with salmon, which I aim to try soon. The mango curry was amazing, with GIANT slabs of mango -- and cashews to boot! I hope the honeymoon lasts -- that they're not going to start skimping on ingredients or something once they build their initial following. But for now, Pad Thai is the best around.
(5)Chris B.
overall a solid place. I've had a few dishes here and have never been disappointed. I actually really like their wings. they're not really buffalo wings but they are crunch, spicy, and good.
(4)Alex T.
I want to like Pad Thai so much more than I do but there are some things definitely holding this neighborhood restaurant back. First of all, I live very close to this location, I eat out all the time, & I love Thai food so needless to say, Pad Thai can easily be my go-to place. The taste of the food food is pretty good but the dishes tend to be very oily. The prices for the food here is definitely not cheap and sometimes I feel that the dishes are lacking. The menu is very extensive and can sometimes feel cluttered. The interior is no frills and feels underdeveloped. Still, I would rate Pad Thai higher if it wasn't for the service which is sorely lacking. Of all the times I've been here, I've only had one waitress so you'd think that she was an indispensable asset but this is far from the truth. She needs service training. She never smiles, seems rushed every time, & has no conversation skills whatsoever. If you're lucky she will take your order and disappear. If you're not she will give you grief about your order. For example, once I asked for garlic instead of white rice for the Roasted Duck Rice. This should be a very simple switch but she went on about it's supposed to come with white rice and she just made me feel as if I didn't know what I was doing. Then she had to have a loud 5 minute conversation with the chef in Thai before she reluctantly obliged. THERE ARE NO OTHER CUSTOMERS IN THE PLACE .. JUST CHANGE THE RICE! Am I being unreasonable here? My family has owned a small restaurant business just like this one and we have certainly always stressed 'The customer is always right.' We used to bend over backwards to make the customer happy but apparently here, having a choice of rice is too much to ask. You can certainly have your own standards regarding this but don't fight me over such a trivial detail. I'm not asking for something completely outlandish here, just a rice swap and it still bothers me how big of a deal they made it. I mean, after this, would you have the appetite to enjoy your meal? My point exactly.

So far on a Sunday afternoon really terrible service for a sit in place :/ so disappointed in that. Annnd the service didn't change at all. Our waitress actually made a face at us while ordering (talk about super rude). There literally wasn't anyone else in the small joint. It seems more like a take out place than anything else. And for one coming from Boston, it really wasn't that good (but we went because there was parking...There wasn't, we looked for the parking place that people said they had and couldn't find it...Maybe we didn't try hard enough? I don't know). Anyway, really disapointing. In terms of the food, I ordered the coconut thai chicken soup which was sweet. Actually sweet. So for me, it wasn't that good at all (not a lot of veggies but meh, for $3.50, I'm not going to make that big a stink). Also to be honest, I felt like the texture of my chicken was off, I don't say this often but it was almost like rubber, so that weirded me out. My sister got the chicken stir-fried dish with rice noodles that was actually pretty spicy and tasted good. This dish reflected what was said on yelp. My cousin's dish was also good, but not awesome so in the end it was the chicken stir-fried that was the best of all. Real bummer that out service was so lously and rude. No smiles, no nothing and very short of an eye roll from our waitress. So, will not be back for sub-par dining experience and food that was a hit and miss.

Ordered here for the first time and it was just wonderful. Loved the spicy veggie tom yum and the spring rolls were some of the best I've had. The gra pao lunch portion was also good. Got it on grubhub. Seriously, my go to Thai spot so far.

I'm not quite ready to give them that 4th star yet. But you can be assured I will update my review after future visits. As someone who truly could eat Thai food 7 days a week, I was eager to try the new place in town. It took a rainy Saturday evening to get us to finally give the place a go and we were not disappointment by any means. We had the salmon spring rolls which were tasty but expensive for only 5 rolls. However, given our order total we were able to score an order of dumplings for free so no harm no foul. The dumplings were OK but I'm not a particularly HUGE fan of them anyway so I'm not the best critic. I had the pad thai, of course - I think it HAS to be ordered anytime you are trying a new Thai establishment, and in this case, it IS their namesake. It was good but different... as in, made with lo mein noodles rather than the traditional rice sticks I'm accustomed to. While not an unwelcome change, it was just different and perhaps made it seem a little heavier to me? Though Pad Thai is by no means a healthy dish, it can feel a bit on the lighter side and this Pad Thai did not feel light at all. The manfriend had the shrimp macadamia and it was really good... I enjoyed the sauce it was in a lot. We will definitely be ordering again - there are so many more things we need to try on the menu.

Quality addition to the north quincy restaurant scene. I ordered pork pad kee mau (pork, fat noodles, veggies, spicy). Was very good. Tasted a bit fresher than Little Duck. Delivery was lightning fast. The are MANY options on the menu. Everything from duck to chicken to seafood and salmon. I would say the have double the options of Little Duck. Try this place!!!!
(5)Jonathan C.
Pad Thai is still a solid choice for Thai food around Quincy. I had the buffalo wings with siracha. The wings are a little small, but I thought they were tasty. I also tried the Tom Yum Kong which is new to me. A bit spicy, but I thought it was pretty good.
(4)T L.
Most food I've had here has been good. I especially like their bamboo salad.
(5)Lanyu Z.
I ordered deliver from them, super fast, the food was hot, and nice delivery driver... Nothing bad I can tell from them......
(5)JeNnIfEr S.
Actually, I would give 3.5 stars. The Crab Rangoon is AWESOME! Soooo freakin' good!!!! The Chicken Thai Rolls are good, as are the dumplings. The Crispy Chicken Pad Thai is okay. Not bad, but not the best I've had either. The Thai Ice Tea is yummy! Bottom line, I will order from here again! As a side note, I ordered delivery online. It was an easy process and my food came very quickly. The delivery guy was super nice. FYI, you have to tip the driver in cash.
(3)Geoffrey B.
This place has reasonably good Thai food, certainly better than any other Thai restaurant in Quincy. Service is fine, although most people use it for take out (I have never had trouble finding a nearby parking space). If you like Thai food and are in Quincy, this is a very nice place to order take out food from.

I like this place, but honestly my main reason for writing this is to tell all you oblivious people that come in here to CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND YOU!! As noted in other reviews, there are heaters all over the place, mainly because it's tiny and a cold breeze blows in whenever someone walks in or out. Now, I can't explain why it is that they've built a sort of glass partitioned vestibule around the doorway, yet didn't install a door that closes properly on its own, but the real issue is that people are jackholes and don't even notice that the door is just flapping in the breeze behind them. On to the food. I go here every couple of weeks or so. The pad see yew with chicken is very good. It has cabbage, which is a little unusual, but it works. The chicken basil fried rice is freaking awesome. The massaman curry is better than decent. The appetizers I've had were sort of meh. The service is pretty prompt and always accurate. The only complaint I have is that they seem to prioritize take-out orders over in person orders, so someone who walks in and orders something after you could have their food and be out the (now wide-open) door long before you see your dish. I myself have ordered take-out once or twice in an effort to save time. It never tastes the same to me though, so I usually eat there and get up 4 or 5 times in a meal to shut the door.
(4)Dana S.
YUM! I literally just put my fork down from eating some takeout i picked up from Pad Thai. I was craving curry so I went down the street to this place I've been wanting to try for some time. The very boring interior of the mini restaurant is not an indication of their food!! I went with the Mango curry with chicken. Even though the menu only had one "chili' next to it, it was definitely a kicked up curry! I liked the variety of veggies in it: red and green peppers, carrots, onions, and peas! my only complaint was that the mango could have been riper. awesome crunchy cashews. Great flavor overall. I am pleased with this place and will go back soon to try some more of their expansive menu.
(4)Alexander K.
Really good, awesome !! Ordered as delivery as first time. I'm sure second soon to be.

We live right next door to this place, so when they renovated and opened again, we were extremely excited and luckily our expectations were met and even went beyond. In fact we find ourselves there every Saturday afternoon now. No matter what we ordered there in the past year was always superbly delicious and full of unique flavors with freshest ingredients at the highest speed. Classic Pad Thai with Rice noodle is great, Tom Yum Goong here is the most delicious thing I've ever tried. Chiang Mai Coconut Noodle Soup is amazing, Tom Yum Noodle Soup with beef is yummy too. It's our go-to spot for evening take-outs when we need some extra comforting and Saturday dinners and lunches. Service is also very sweet and courteous. Highly recommend this place for so many reasons for anybody who is hungry around Wollaston area.

This is quite possibly the most bland Thai food I have ever had in my life. The Pad Thai I ordered hardly had any sauce and so had absolutely no flavor. If there was any peanuts I couldn't see or taste them, I had to add my own. And the chicken in the plate had a burnt taste (almost burnt plastic taste) to it. The soup again bland, just a broth with a lot of red spice on top, no other flavors were present. And only one lonely shrimp. The last thing we had was the curry puffs, yet another disappointment. Just oil laden and again bland! Sorry for my repetition of this word but it is the only one I have to describe this food. The service wasn't great either. The host at the front was on the phone taking another order, and the waitress was polite and said someone would be with me soon. Meanwhile a man who looked like the owner just sat on a stool staring at me while everyone else was busy. I found it to be obnoxious! If you want to sit and do nothing fine, just don't do it where customers can see you. Thought I would try somewhere new but I think I'll stick to some of the other restaurants over the border of Quincy. The other places are a better representation of what Thai flavors should be at the same prices.

My husband and I have gotten food from Pad Thai a couple of times, once for take away and once to eat in. Everything was great both times we've eaten there. We've ordered the wonton soup, meatball soup, pad thai (obviously), and nuea toon hot pot. The broth of the soup had amazing flavor, and it was maybe the best soup I've ever had. It was maybe a touch on the salty side, but what can you expect when you go out to eat? I've ordered pad thai from at least a dozen different restaurants and had yet to find the perfect one.. until Pad Thai. With a name like that, you better hope they won't disappoint you with their signature dish! I often find that restaurants are a little heavy handed with the level of acidity, but Pad Thai has gotten it just right. Yum! They skimped on the shrimp, but all Thai restaurants do. I highly suggest the nuea toon hot pot if you want to try something a little outside the box. Order a side of white rice and pour some of the broth over it with the meat. I'd never ordered it before, so it was a surprise favorite! Service was a little slow, but we were also there until 9pm on a week day, so I wasn't surprised. We're willing to deal with it for their quality of food.

I think this might be it, I have finally found my go to Thai restaurant within the South Shore. I am a huge Thai food fan, and am especially particular about pad thai. Even after reading the many other raving reviews, I still came here skeptical. My other favorite Thai restaurants include Dok Bua in Brookline and Bangkok Bistro in Cleveland Circle, so those were my reference points. I ordered the green curry with duck and white rice. The curry came piled with bamboo shoots and pieces of duck meat that just melted in your mouth. The curry was a little spicy, but the menu warns you of that with two hot chili pepper. Priced at $9.75, it was a good lunch. I also tried the fried oysters and was not disappointed. Though I suspect the oysters began frozen, they were not overcooked and you could still enjoy the oyster taste. A friend ordered Pad Kee Mao and though I didn't try it, the flat rice noodles looked like cooked just right (absolutely hate hard noodles). I promise I will try their Pad Thai and update my review soon. In the meanwhile, all I can say is that I'm glad I found Pad Thai (it saves me from having to drive into the city for good quality Thai food)!
(4)Andrew L.
Get this place a couple times a month. Wife loves the veggie Pad Thai and I always get the Chicken w/ Basil. Spicy but excellent. The Garlic wings are the best Asian wings in Quincy. Never eaten in the restaurant but delivery is very fast!
(4)Victoria M.
If I could give it no stars, I would. Food was not fresh and the staff was not friendly in the least bit. I think what horrified me most when when they brought the food to us, the dropped the dish on the table spilling food everywhere. Instead of cleaning it up and taking the plate away to make it again, they used their BARE HANDS to pick up the food and placed it on the plate. They pushed the plate towards us and said enjoy. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Absolutely disgusting! Never Again!
(1)Katherine M.
This is my go to place for getting Pad Thai. I get the pad thai with shrimp and chicken and the veggie thai rolls. Every time I go here the staff is always friendly and the food is delicious!
(4)Winnie T.
YUM! Tasty food, good service, and decent prices! I always leave this place feeling full and satisfied. I have tried their yellow curry with the pineapple which was rich in flavor (though the chicken in the dish was a bit dry), the rad nar is great and definitely filling, and their fried duck with the spicy mayo dish surprised me in terms of it actually tasting good; but their standout dish in my opinion is their tom kha soup, which is a version of the tom yum soup except this one has a coconut milk base. Definitely will frequent this place more often to satisfy my Thai food cravings whenever I am in Quincy!
(4)Kathy Y.
I have to say this wasn't bad for Quincy. It's good that there is a better option next to Little Duck, since they were kind of getting a bit cheap on their dishes and more expensive. I only came here once and got the Pad Thai and thought it wasn't bad. My friend got the curry - with brown fried rice, it was actually pretty decent. The restaurant is a small place, but you can sit and eat and they do come and wait on you. It's good place for lunch and I would come back again.
(4)Alexa M.
What a nice little place! First let me say that the restaurant was SPOTLESS!! To me, that says a lot about the quality of the food and general service. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive which we appreciated. I ordered the pad thai with shrimp which was very very very fresh and delicious (AND THE SHRIMP WAS COOKED PERRRRRFECTLY)! My mom got the crispy pad thai which was a tad on the greasy side, but the texture was interesting. I would definitely go back and even order take out too.
(4)C C.
You gotta be kidding meï¼ how this place got so much good reviews I 'll never know! Got food poisoning here, I didn't even finish my tom yum soup noodle. I really wanted to like this place because I live Thai food and it's so close to my place. But nope, not coming again...
(1)G K.
I had the Pad ke mou ( drunken noodle) . It was very fresh ingredients and very tasty. friends had lo-mein...also amazing.
(5)Espresso T.
Not coming back again. No, not after two total miss dishes! Several weeks ago I had the drunken noodles here and it was quite good, so I went back again getting drunken noodles and then trying out their basil crispy chicken. Both horrible this time! The drunken noodle was watery and lack spice totally. The basil crispy chicken tasted like bad chinese style sweet and sour chicken. They used the chicken fingers for the meat, which was badly fried so not crispy at all. The basil sauce was the worst I have had. It was just a bad sweet and source sauce on bad fried chicken.
(1)Allison W.
I absolutely love this place! I order via grubhub all the time and it is so good every time. I'm writing this as I wait for my meatball soup and rad na to arrive! I love the massaman curry and the fresh rolls are the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot). The crab Rangoon is also very delicious. The delivery is pretty standard wait time, nothing spectacular but I assume that's because they are actually cooking my food rather than just heating it up ;) In short, order from Pad Thai, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Kathleen C.
If you're going to name a restaurant after a dish, it better be a stellar specialty. If you're going to be like ANY restaurant in the homeland, you'll set a table fork and table spoon for your customers. And serve lime. With chili and fish sauces at every table. Fail on all aforementioned details. Props for being freshly prepared, but the Pad Thai was flavorless. I ordered shrimp and chicken pad thai. Two shrimps on top. Ingredients were already mixed in (usually it's layered on top and you mix it yourself). No citrus on the side, so I asked for lime. Lemon was all they had. Judging from the lack of sauces, the single fork, and the bland flavor, their target audience was not anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine. Disappointed belly.
(1)Junior T.
Food was good, serving portion is good. I like their play on mango cooked with their main dishes, it came out smelling great and also tasty.
(4)J M.
Decent little place for Thai Food. When I say "little" place, I truly mean little. This restaurant probably only seats twenty or maybe even slightly less. We came for a visit here when it was late at night. The lady taking my order was very polite and helpful. The kitchen is open to you at the register, and you could see that the entire place seemed pretty clean. I can't vouch for the restrooms since I never had to use the facilities. We ordered several dishes. I ordered the sour soup with coconut milk and chicken, and was disappointed at the fact that I thought I would get several servings for my party....it was just one cup/bowl for one person. Maybe I should've asked if they had one for a party instead. The soup was good though. We also ordered the Pad Thai. The color of the Pad Thai was not what I was used to. Typically, Pad Thai that I have eaten in California have an orange color to it. The Pad Thai was alright. I would still order it, but I'd ask for extra sauce the second time around. We also ordered the green beans for a veggie dish which was good and tasty. Ordered the green curry with chicken and that was good too. Another meat dish was the beef dish similar to bulgobi?? I think that's how you spell it...this was just alright for me. Last but my favorite of all, was the teriyaki chicken wings. The wings were crunchy, and sweet. Overall, I'd probably come back for more food next time I am in town.
(3)amber b.
OMG. best thai food i have ever had. and ive had it all over town. the food is fresh, and amazing. and i love that they switch it up a tiny bit each time but the taste is consistent. its like having a thai granma around the corner. this is also a mom and pop place. its family owned an operated from granny down to the young teen. only place i will get thai in fact im going to get some tonight!
(5)Ash E.
Awesome food. VERY quick delivery. Highly recommended. The delivery menu very accurately reflects spiciness. I would recommend literally everything on the menu. especially the seafood. quality ingredients, delicious traditional Thai recipes and some awesome American adaptations.
(5)Jennifer A.
After reading the reviews we decided to try it out. We were very disappointed. The fresh rolls were good, but that's where it ends. The coconut soup was overly sweet with mushrooms and large pieces of chicken that had to be removed and cut to eat. The namesake was the biggest disappointment. The pad Thai was huge, but dry, very sweet and was not well mixed with the sauce. The bottom of the takeout box was bare noodles stuck together, covered with a thin layer of dressed noodles, 2 shrimp, 4 pieces of chicken and 1/4 tsp. peanuts. Worst, when we removed our takeout from the bag,, the cardboard separator in the bag had someone else's hand written order, with address and credit card info! We might try one more time, but always be sure to pay with cash. Btw, we shredded the other customer's info.
(2)Mike P.
I was happy when I saw the opening to a new Thai place in the area. I crave Thai ice teas and was usually lazy to walk over to the next train station just to get one. After seeing the menu it has lots of different options to choose from than most others. I went with a friend and we ordered apparently the best dish in the world which was massaman curry with beef and veggies. It was amazing. The sauce was smooth and the beef was very nice and tender. The beef skewers was amazing along with their sweet sauces they included. Nice and tender how I like them. I got the Supreme Duck dish which is like having Katsu but with duck instead covered with light spicy mayo. Very tasty. The soup was the only disappointment since it lacked flavor. Else everything was great. Nice place and the servers were nice as well and attentive. I see myself coming back more often.
(4)Lin L.
Went to this place based on all the good reviews. And totally disappointed. The worst part, my husband and I got food poisoning. Maybe it's our luck, but the food is not clean. The appetizers are way over priced, not fresh, over cooked to cover up something. The entrees are decent, not the worst, but definitely no where near to be great. The service was okay and they are very friendly. But being completely sick for couple days after paying $40 for dinner are totally unacceptable. Would never go back and would never recommend to anyone we know.
(1)Andy S.
Been going here for a while. One of the best thai restaurant in greater boston. From pad thai to ginger chicken rice to fish, all have been great. But their tom yum soup can be a little too spicy..
(5)Tom G.
My wife liked the Pad Thai, and my green curry was very good, but the Tom Yum Goong (which they render as "Tom Yum Kong" on their menu) is the star of the show. A must-have with any meal.
(4)Christine D.
I could only review what I ate and it was amazing! Their pad thai with fried tofu delivered right to my door along with a crispy papaya salad. Just what I wanted! The delivery was super fast and the food was great! Thanks!
(5)Gina I.
Very disappointed. Their food was mediocre and their service is lacking. The atmosphere is okay...small. The portions are skimpy or disproportional. I ordered the pad thai and the table across from us also ordered pad thai but I had like only 2/3 or less than hers. IF you're going to skimp on the amount at least skimp on EVERYONES... will probably not go back.
(2)Mayo B.
I've ordered from here a few times now, and I haven't anything bad yet. Some of my favorites are pad thai, green curry, pad kee mao, basil fired rice, Tom Kha soup, and siam spicy. Everything has tons of flavor and fresh and quality of food has been consistently good. I will probably will be ordering here more often to try out more items on their menu.
(4)Aaron M.
Although I like the food, I refuse to go there at the end of the week, or on weekends because of the server. The waitress looks grumpy and acts as though she is doing you a favor. Once I asked her, "Given the look on your face, I guess things aren't good?" She replied "I'm OK, What would you like?" Really!!!!??? The waitress at the beginning of the week smiles, informs you on the food, etc. Really, Pad Thai, check out your wait staff. I prefer to drive to Little Bee for friendly servers.
(3)Libby L.
DRY DRY DRY... Definately will NOT be going back :( :( Ordered the following: - Beef Stew - NOT enough meat - too much rice. The meat was very tender and flavorful but not enough. - Shrimp Pad Thai (Extra Spicy) - The shrimp was overcooked. Asked for Extra Spicy - only the top was drizzled with spice - the rest or middle to bottom had NO flavor. They could've at least stirred or mixed it up. - Crispy Beef Pad Thai - Forget about the beef - very dry could not even eat. Nowhere in the description did it state it was going to be sweet. I can deal with sweet but this was overbearingly sweet. - Garlic Chicken Wings - I don't know where the garlic is but it was just chinese fried chicken drizzled with some sort of ginger sweet sauce. - Salmon Rolls - this was the BEST.
(2)Tom H.
Have been once so far and the food is authentic and very good. It's hard to find good Thai food. We had Pad Thai, Fried rice, Garlic wings and Good Tod. They were all very good. Definitely one of my favorite places for take out now.
(5)Dave F.
I ate until I hurt, then I kept eating. I will be back today for lunch.
(5)Steph S.
Ordered the Pad see ew for take out tonight! SO delicious, and ready in less than 10 minutes. Price was standard, 9 bucks for a healthy portion with tofu. The woman who answered the phone and was there with the hostess when I arrived was so sweet and friendly.
(5)alan m.
I eat Thai food 2-3 times a week. This is by far one of the best places on South Shore, and specifically in Quincy. Everything from Currys, Rice dishes, Pad Thai to Soup. Perfection!
(5)Quinn S.
I cant say enough good things about this place. The delivery is fast and the guys are so friendly, they make my food to order, and always get it right. Love them and the food! Tom Yum Noodle Soup my fave!!
(5)Peter P.
Really enjoyed the delivery from this place - very quick, courteous, and well priced. But more importantly, the food I got was pretty darn good. I ordered a crab rangoon appetizer, a bowl of fish maw soup, and a serving of extra spicy green curry with white rice. The appetizer was all right - probably a little better than what you'd get at most Chinese fast food places. They were lighter, half moon shaped due to a round wrapping skin, and came with a pineapple sweet and sour sauce, which was a nice twist on the usual apple or apricot. The green curry was pretty tasty. Although I feel like I've had more "vibrant" versions at restaurants in Boston, the balance was well done. The coconut milk wasn't too heavy and provided sufficient richness and contrast to the heat - and I enjoyed the basil, lemongrass, and eggplant. The fish maw soup was spectacular though, and I was surprised to see on the menu. It's typically a slightly higher end dish that you can only find at seriously "authentic" Chinese restaurants, so I was skeptical but intrigued. Apparently, the preparation was described as "Bangkok China-town style", and made with shredded chicken, shittake mushroom, and copious amounts of bamboo shoots and fish maw. The flavor was thick with collagen - but surprisingly enough, very similar to the broth in Vietnamese pho. I'm not sure what spices they use exactly - you can definitely taste some star anise and a touch of cinnamon - but it adds a hint of sweetness and layers of complexity to already savory and rich stock while removing any of the fishiness. Between the flavors and how substantial the soup was, it's a worthy meal in of itself. So in closing, if you're in Quincy and you're hankering for a little Thai, definitely try this place out. If you're on the look out for some interesting food though, try the fish maw soup if nothing else.
(5)Lisa C.
To be honest, if I could give it a zero I would.the food are just took sweet and the noodles tasted like everything-sweet,salty,sour, spicy and smelled kinda weird. I went with my friend and she ordered mango chicken and the mango was so ripe and it smelled like also very weird.
(1)b t.
Great non soppy pad thai. None of the food was greasy yet still very tasty. The duck was wonderful, try it! Definitely would come back to try out some of their other dishes.
