This place was a pleasant surprise! The drunken noodles was the best I’ve had in Boston, though I took one star off because I wrote spicy on the order and it was not even vaguely spicy. It did have three shrimp, which I thought was a lot for $ 9 since it had chicken too and it was cheaper than other restaurants. I also really enjoyed the mango sticky rice — yum. My order also arrived in like 20 minutes, 30 minutes before the grubhub time and I was really impressed.

The Drunken Noodle is the best in the entire state. You can get it mild or spicy, with tofu, chicken or shrimp. So many amazing flavors and the noodles are to die for.

Still yet to find something I don’t like on their menu.
Their soups are amazing. I’ve tried most of them and have no complaints.
Their Pad Thai is great. A little on the oily side but solid flavours.
Only criticism is that when you ask for «very hot and spicy» it’s still really not spicy.
I’m not one to order spicy food but could use a little more heat with their noodle dishes

It’s good, not anything incredible though. You can kind of taste the inauthenticity of their sauces on noodles, must be from a packet or something. However, it’s definitely still good and if you’re nearby I’d still recommend it if you want Thai food!

Giving them 5 stars at my first visit because the red curry is delicious and they have «mock meat» (basically seitan) which is way better than tofu in this particular dish. Yeah!

This place has the best pad thai I’ve ever had! The portions are fair and the prices are great! I paid 9.50 for a dish of delicious pad thai!

Wonderful, wonderful food. Curries, stir fries, noodle dishes all made fresh and with quality ingredients. It’s easy to get something healthy or more indulgent, and to suit vegetarian or meat-​centric tastes. I’ve brought many people here, and everyone been able to find something enjoyable.
There are several favorite dishes I happily cycle among: drunken noodles, rama shower, pad woon sen, and red or green curry. They’ll also stir fry any meat or tofu with vegetables and a sauce of your choice.
I get takeout regularly, and it’s typically quick. The owner and employees are lovely even when they’re very busy (they do a lot of takeout!) Can’t recommend this spot enough.

The crab ragoons are to die for!!!

This place is okay but I don’t think I’d come back. The item I enjoyed the most was their crab Ragoons as a lot of others have mention! They’re different than most Asian places as they add curry/​spices to it so its got a good kick to it!
The rest of things we got could have been better. The pad Thai noodles were not cooked consistently and some of them were hard and too chewy, the flavors in it were good though. We also order the tamarind duck, which was a bit overcooked, the meat was too tough and the flavors were really only okay for this dish, not really a true tamarind duck. Lastly, the Thai ice tea was a bit too sweet with a little too much condensed milk!
I’ve had worse Thai food but definitely not in the better half that I’ve tried but it’s okay place to come if you haven’t had Thai food before.

Ordered through Unilocal/​Eat 24 and something went wrong. We called the restaurant to confirm the order and they said they had it… Two hours and $ 40 later, we were told that our order was never received. Super annoying!

BEST Pad Thai I’ve ever had and I’m not even a big fan of noodles! It came with jumbo shrimp and chicken and a generous amount of noodles with crushed peanuts, eggs, and bean sprouts. The flavor was mouth-​watering, it was everything a classic pad thai should be.
We also tried the Drunken Noodle and Tom Kha soup. The soup was a bit too sour for me so not a big fan. The Drunken noodle was very good.
Great experience overall! The service was also very friendly. Next time I’ll have to try their Thai sticky rice dessert!

Took 1 hr and 15 minutes to arrive in Cambridge… not good!

Our delivery came about an hour and a half after ordering on GrubHub… way too long. The food wasn’t as good as other Thai delivery in the area. I ordered a tofu/​vegetable dish and there was very little tofu. The tofu was also fried and shriveled. The sauce was brown, bland, and soupy.

I feel sorry for my girlfriend because sweet ginger has pretty much become our only date spot. I just can’t get enough of this place!
I’m pretty much the most risk averse person you’ll ever run into, so I’m the type of guy who orders the same thing over and over again if it works. The Pad Thai here works. It’s packed with flavor, the noodles are always perfectly al dente, and the portions always leave me satisfied. My more adventurous girlfriend has gotten a couple of their curries, the drunken noodles and pad see ew. All of them were delicious.
Service is always good and dishes come out quickly. I can’t wait for our next date night!

Me and my lady came here to eat dinner. We got the seafood madness and it is great. Had mussels, scallops, shrimp, calamari in it.
All the seafood had great flavor and tasted fresh unlike most Asian seafood dishes in the area.
We both Loved it and will be back for more!

Eh. My roommates like this place, but its just okay for me. Their «magic eggplant» has basically no eggplant, and a bunch of crappy veggies in a bland sauce. Drunken noodles are okay, but overall I’m not into this place.

Warm environment and delicious food! We had the duck noodle soup, pad Thai, Thai iced tea, and mango sticky rice, everything is all good. Sooooo satisfied on a Friday night!

Cute Thai restaurant in Union Square right next to Union Square Donuts. My friend and I came in within an hour of their closing time but the waitstaff was still nice and attentive. I ordered the Thai iced tea and the drunken noodles. My friend got a taro iced tea and the pad thai– we shared the som tom, which is a traditional papaya salad. Drinks were both good, didn’t taste watery or overly sugary. The som tom had plenty of spice and was fresh. My drunken noodles were delicious. It came with chicken and shrimp which was different because most Thai places that I’ve been to give you the option of a protein. I had a bite of my friend’s pad thai and it was up there as some of the better pad thais that I’ve had in my day.
The menu has lots of options– in fact I was quite surprised and overwhelmed when I first had a look at the menu. I’m curious to see how well their service would be when it’s much busier. I also saw plenty of people coming in for takeout orders.

I’ve had this place bookmarked for a while because a coworker of mine raved about their Pad Thai. I finally ended up getting a Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup to go tonight.
The Pad Thai was good. It wasn’t the best I’ve had, but still good. It seemed mildly flavored, not like some of the sweeter versions I’ve had (which is fine!). The shrimp in it was reallllly good.
Despite some other reviewers being unimpressed with the Tom Yum soup, I *really* like it! I took some of the shrimp from the Pad Thai and added it to the soup. So good! It had a ton of flavor and lots of mushrooms. Kinda wish I had gotten two!
I’m giving this three stars, but I have a feeling if/​when I try more entrees I’d give it four. They seemed crazy busy when I picked up my food so I’m sure it’s because they do a great job! Definitely want to try one of their curries next.

Just alright. We came for lunch on Saturday and the lunch prices matched the lunch portion size…
The fresh rolls (vegetarian) were kind of blah. I got the drunk noodles without egg and subbed for tofu. They were nasty but nothing to write home about. My BF got the Sweet Ginger salmon and said it was better than okay but not great. So it’s a good spot if you’re in the area and want a variety of things to choose from. Their menu is expansive! But it’s not something I’ll be going out of my way for.
