Amazing Thai food in Cambridge! Boston 😍 I visited this restaurant with my sister, and we had such a wonderful meal. The food was delicious, full of Thai flavors, and everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. Great Chef , Great owner. We ordered Pad Thai with shrimp and stir-fried Chinese Broccoli with crispy pork (Kana Moo Krob) — both were absolutely amazing. The Pad Thai was flavorful and not too sweet, and the crispy pork was truly crispy and paired so well with the kale. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the overall atmosphere was simple and comfortable. It really felt like a hidden gem for Thai food lovers. Highly recommend if you’re looking for real Thai dishes in the area. We will definitely come back again. I LOve Thai Food 🥘😍🇹🇭🙏
Pai Kin Kao is a small casual restaurant in Cambridge that serves up some authentic Thai dishes. First time I stepped in, the restaurant was completely empty and silent. However, shortly after I placed an order, I started hearing one of my favorite sounds in the kitchen come to life. The breath of the wok and the sizzling dance of ingredients dancing within. It sounded like a jet engine firing up and it wasn’t muffled as the kitchen literally was right there behind the stainless steel counter where the menu boards are (and not in another room). I love that sound so much as someone in the culinary profession who can tell when and what different ingredients are added to complete the one dish being ordered. As expected, my order didn’t take long to arrive in my table. Less than 5 minutes fro
The food was great here. I brought my daughter here and we had Drunken Noodle, yellow curry with pineapple, and a traditional dish with pork sausage. Plus Thai Iced teas. Everything was delicious. I wish I had learned about this sooner. We will be back.
I travel the world extensively so I know it to be very true that my beef massaman tonight was the worst prepared I have tasted in the last 40 years of travelling the world. The beef had so much gristle that it was inedible. A waste of money and discussing. Be ashamed Pai Kin Kao Restaurant.
I stopped by this Thai restaurant in Cambridge, MA for a quick dinner. The ambiance was fairly standard—nothing particularly memorable. I ordered the red curry chicken with rice, and the food arrived impressively fast. The portion size was just right, and the curry was served piping hot—exactly how I like it. That said, the curry sauce lacked richness. It was a bit too watery, and it seemed light on coconut milk, which left it feeling thin rather than full-bodied. Flavor-wise, it was decent, but didn’t quite hit the mark. One downside was the the way green beans were cooked in the curry. There were plenty, but they were undercooked and overly crunchy, which threw off the texture of the dish. That detail alone kept this meal from earning five stars. On a brighter note, the service was exc
