★★★★★ 5.0 nitsua · Nov 2025

Wonderful food. I typically get the #2 which is Crispy Boneless Chicken with Ginger rice. A fairly priced meal which comes with Diakon soup. A great taste.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Melissa · Dec 2025

I ordered the mix. Everything was warm except the rice, which was hard and cold, as if it had been left out all day. Very disappointing.

★★★★★ 5.0 Victoria Sirois · Jan 2026

Honestly me and my husband found this spot two months ago and we have been getting take out once a week since! I get the Issan, he gets the Heat and we share the wings and the mango sticky rice - it’s perfect. Simple and delicious! (The wings are honestly next level.) We recently added the popcorn chicken and the Noodle dinner into our orders and both of those were fantastic. The wings are for sure better than popcorn chicken IMO but both are great. If you aren’t eating here you’re honestly missing out.

★★★★★ 5.0 Holly P · Jan 2026

I love this place so much. I've been periodically getting lunch from there for the last 2 years. The Heat is my favorite by and far. The perfect level of spicy and seasoning. The ginger rice is delicious. And everyone who works there is really friendly and helpful. I'll be coming back as long as I'm in Union Square!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Alex Berioso · May 2025

It’s a decent Thai chicken & rice spot but What Da Chick in Watertown is just so much better I couldn’t help but compare. Each chicken order comes with radish soup and a sauce. More of a takeout spot, not really meant for dine in (tables weren’t clean and everything was served in to-go containers) - Chicken was good and crunchy - Rice was lacking the ginger flavor and was a bit dry - Golden Bao was great but was drowning in kewpie mayo
