Yaowarat Thai Street Food

Finally tried this Thai restaurant, and it exceeded our expectations! It’s been a while since we enjoyed a meal where every dish impressed us. We dined in, and while we were the only ones there, it's clear that takeout is popular. The space is small but cozy, with enough room to feel comfortable. The service was prompt and attentive. We ordered the scallion pancakes, pad see ew, and khao moo tod. The scallion pancakes were incredibly crispy and came with a delicious sweet sauce. Both the noodles and the pork with rice were packed with flavor. The pork dish, our favorite, featured crispy fried pork over rice, with some sausage, hard-boiled eggs, and a refreshing cucumber side. The sweet sauce enhanced the dish perfectly. We enjoyed every bite and highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to return!

The best Thai food so far. The taste was authentic with reasonable price/portion. We recommend (we ordered these) Kao Mun Kai, Kao Ka Moo, Beef egg noodles, and Kuay Jub. They were so gooooooooooood. Come try it once. The only downside was that the air condition was a bit warm. We were sweating while eating pur dinner. It is commutable from Boston via the Red Line (45 mins) and about 15 mins via car.

I passed by here and went in for lunch for the first time. We ordered chicken Kapow lunch and Chicken Claw egg noodle. It’s good that they offer lunch and dinner two options. Since I can’t eat a lot, I can order lunch with smaller portion and cost less about $12.95. The food is okay, not amazing. Like street food as it says or like food court food. I’ll give it 6/10. The restaurant has big long tables with long wood benches. I like how spacious and roomy it makes customers feel! Good for a quick bite!

The restaurant is an absolute delight. Here are the highlights: We started with a couple of soup appetizers, wonton soup and tom yum soup. The wontons, filled with shrimp, packed great flavor without being too fishy, and had generous chunks of bok choy in the broth. As for the Tom Yum soup, it was authentically Thai – a spicy, tangy broth loaded with mushrooms and chicken. The spice level was perfect. For our main dish, we got the Moo Daeng, a Thai BBQ pork dish which was excellent. Combination of sliced BBQ pork and pork sausage, accompanied by a side of rice, a soy egg, crunchy cucumber, soybean paste sauce, and dark soy sauce. The staff was another highlight of our visit. They were friendly, accommodating, and took the time to explain the menu. Their recommendations were spot-on! There was absolutely nothing to fault about Yaowarat Road . Between the incredible food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices, our experience was nothing short of fantastic. I am looking forward to our next visit to explore more of their menu. It's unquestionably a 5-star gem.

Got the Khao Moo Deang ($13.95) to-go, and it was a tasty, filling meal for a decent price. This dish is very similar to Chinese and Vietnamese BBQ pork dishes, so I wouldn’t say it was unique flavor-wise (get something else if you’re looking for something exclusively Thai), but it satisfied my rice craving. I liked that the rice was like a sticky clay pot rice—chewy but with some crispy bits. The BBQ pork was saucy and tender. They gave me extra soy sauce, but I didn’t need it.
