Come back with friends! This time we tried a few new dishes, all of which were delicious!…read more Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Pepper and Soft Tofu 燒椒豆花牛柳: This dish has been incredibly popular on the Chinese internet lately. I was surprised to find it in Boston - they really keep up with the times! Although it looks a little different from the Chinese version, it was still very tasty, and it was the only dish we finished! The beef was incredibly tender, the roasted peppers had a great smoky flavor, and it was savory with a hint of spiciness. The sauce was thick and very good with rice. However, the tofu was a bit rough; it wasn't made with soft tofu, which didn't quite match the overall flavor. Shrimp with Salted Egg Yolk 鹹蛋黃焗蝦球: The shrimp were very large, with a firm yet tender texture. The outer shell was fried to a crispy perfection, and it was served piping hot. The salted egg yolk coating was just the right thickness and very fragrant, but it became a bit too sweet and cloying towards the end. Gele Mountain Spicy Chicken 歌樂山辣子雞: The chicken was fried until crispy and had a delicious spicy flavor. A bit too spicy for me from Guangdong. Grandma's Style Mashed Potatoes with Crispy Pickles 老奶脆菜土豆泥: A pleasant surprise! The mashed potatoes were generally smooth and creamy, with a few lumps, but still acceptable. The seasoning was slightly spicy, and the crunchy pickles added a touch of sourness, freshness and flavor.

We came here for a gathering with friends on a Friday night, and the place was absolutely packed…read more Luckily, we had a reservation, although our group still had to split between tables. It was our first time here, and the first thing that stood out was the price. We thought Seattle was expensive, but this was on another level. The food came out hot and at a reasonable pace, but unfortunately, the taste just wasn't there for us. The fried pork was especially disappointing because it was very chewy. The one highlight was the fried mushrooms, which we really enjoyed. Overall, for the price and the food quality, it just didn't feel worth it. Probably won't be back.

We were there at the end of September and they had started to decorate for Halloween. It was cool to get a preview. The decor is everything at this place and they did a great job even if the place is very big! They have stuff everywhere without making it tacky. The only spot that was a bit of a let down was the bathroom. They have excellent drinkware with different glasses for each drinks. You can purchase most of them as well. As I said before, I have been around a fair amount of tiki bars, so here is my review of the cocktails. They were good but not exceptional for that price range. I tried four total and they tended to be a bit one note (sweet or bitter). They rely a lot on the cool cups but lack garnishes. I like my drinks with lots of trinkets and pieces of fruits! I did enjoy that they had a unique Asian twists on some classics. Our waitress was fine but didn't seem to fit the theme.

We came in and the restaurant was filled with younger people who were hanging out. To start off we ordered lamb dumplings and scallion pancakes. I was familiar with both of these appetizers and they were the same as anywhere else. To eat, we ordered chicken stew. The waitress told us that one stew was spicy and the other was non spicy. We decided to order the non-spicy one since others were not big fans of spice. When we received the food it was very spicy. It was hard to eat and we did not enjoy it. The waitress came back and thought we wanted the spicy chicken stew which was incorrect. She apologized and wanted to switch it. At this point we were running late so it didn't matter. We just packed it and gave it to our family member who likes spice. This place was okay. I will have to come back here and give it another chance.

The food was interesting, the saag was blended to smoother creamy sauce with a hint of mushroom or truffle which was unexpected. The food was generally too spicy hot for mild. We are glad we didn't order spicier. naan was delicious. Salad was huge - enough for four to six people. Food tasted good. Good presentation. Staff could work on clearing plates earlier or using smaller plates. The table was absolutely cluttered unnecessarily. A few things stood out as questionable. Our waiter seemed a little spacy. Order didn't go in on time and then also forgot details. So maybe our food was spicier bc he forgot that we ordered mild. Also, I noticed water dripping from the kitchen ceiling and this kind of took away my appetite. Staff very apologetic for delays in our food order.

Space is small but homey - a little drafty by the door though so if you come during the winter, try to sit away! The menu has a great selection of dishes from appetizers to sharables to entrees. I highly recommend the full fish - fried and delicious. The hot pot soup is also super flavorful and great to split with a friend. Their papaya salad is also EXTREMELY spicy, be warned! Overall, I happily will return to this spot whenever craving Thai food. Good portions, friendly staff, and tasty food!

Fighting Fish Thai Cuisine is a small restaurant located in an industrial area near Encore Resort…read more Despite its modest size, the restaurant is cozy and air-conditioned, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal even on a hot day. We started with the pork jowls appetizer. They were flavorful on their own, but the accompanying dipping sauce added an extra layer of bold flavor for those who want it. For our main dishes, we ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup with chicken and the Pad See Ew at a medium spice level. Both dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. A word of caution: their spice levels are definitely on an authentic Thai or Asian scale. If you're accustomed to typical American spice levels, medium here may feel quite hot. I love spicy food, so the medium level provided a great balance of heat and chili flavor. My husband, however, found it too spicy. The Tum Yum noodle soup featured a rich, savory broth with just the right amount of sourness. While I really enjoyed the dish, I noticed that many of the noodles were broken into shorter strands. We also shared the Thai Chili Fish, which came with two large deep-fried fish fillets and a generous bowl of sweet and savory chili sauce. The sauce reminded me of sweet-and-sour sauce but with a stronger chili kick. The flavors were fantastic, although the presentation could have been better. The host/servers consisted of just two people, but both were friendly and welcoming. The woman serving us was especially funny and entertaining, which added to the overall experience. Overall, I had a great meal and would definitely return whenever I'm in Boston. There are several other dishes on the menu that I'm eager to try.

We tried several dishes, but the standouts were the Massaman Beef Curry and the Pad See Ew. The Pad See Ew was packed with flavor, loaded with fresh white meat chicken, and the portion was huge. The Massaman Beef Curry was equally impressive, with perfectly tender beef that practically melted in your mouth. They offer both dine-in and takeout, and they also take reservations, which is a nice bonus. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu!

They are always so excellent and the noodles are bouncy and chewy! I usually get this with pork. - pad see ew: this is my favorite Thai noodle dish and it's no exception here. Not as spicy as the drunken noodles but just a massive portion of filling noodles, chicken/tofu, and Chinese broccoli. There's something about the way they do the sauce here that is just so savory and delicious. It feels less greasy than it usually does at other Thai places, which I really like - pad mee korat: my friend always get this and raves about it. I felt like it was worth sharing that this comes in a huge plate and was finished completely. They have a lot of variety in dishes!!
