I've come here several times and had a wonderful meal every time - definitely a hidden gem! Located in an awkward spot, there is plenty of parking and the entrance is pretty clear. 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! read more

Fighting Fish Thai Cuisine is a small restaurant located in an industrial area near Encore Resort. 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. read more

Do not drive past because of the adult bookstore sign!!! This was great food, the restaurant was clean and the owner as well as his partner were friendly, welcoming and explained the menu well. I do not frequent Thai restaurants so I was not completely sure what to order. I appreciate all of the help and the fun conversation while we waited. I would highly recommend trying this place out. Reminder, if you are driving by and think holy crap not safe or dirty, you are so wrong. Stop and try it out. Totally worth it! read more

This place used to be the adult store but I think it moved to the back. Decent parking around since a small lot. Its small inside with tables for dine in. 4/5 drunken noodles was spicy and delicious. Arived fresh and hot. This was lunch portion so assuming its smaller sized. Think there was only one cook so things bit slower but fresh cook to order. 4/5 fighting fish roll was decent. Crunchy tofu skin exterior and packed with flavors of pork, crab and shrimp. Juicy and hot inside, good flavor and texture. 3.5 siam fried rice was decent and flavored well but just wasn't distinguishing itself enough. Service was decent, it was one guy doing waiter and cashier. He was back and forth and sometimes waiting inside kitchen. Overall will come again since location has decent parking and reasonable prices and good thai food. I like their specials menu which I assume rotates. read more

Really good Thai food. The only real downside is that they're in Everett! When i try a new spot, i like to get pad Thai which is a solid baseline in which i can compare Thai dishes. We also had panang curry and larb. Everything was delicious. They were a bit short staffed but they were friendly and helpful read more

OMG... PLEASE PLEASE do not let the location of this place scare you off... There is no real good Thai food in Everett, and I was craving the other night & lately all delivery places (grubhub,doordash) do this horrible thing where they allow drivers to make multiple deliveries and yes thats great for the drivers to double down & make money but completely lessens the quality for the consumer - sorry Im ranting!!! So I knew I needed to find a close place vs ordering from Cambridge or Tom Yum like I normally do... So I ordered several things just to be able to say Ok, Soup is good, Apps are good, Noodles are good, You know - or just really be fat, whichever narrative sounds better, LOL Everything was better than good! I even got a call to confirm how I wanted something because there was an option apparently I left off the app (GREAT customer service)! Everything was fresh, everything was delish, Good portions, All super hot still... WILL DEF BE GOING BACK!!! Crab Rangoon delicious, Pad Thai I feel is the same anywhere you go but I have once or twice had Bad Pad Thai but this was good... Pad See Eew was delish, and the Rad Na was sooo good! Now Im drooling and want more but its too late, Ugh... Def go & dont hesitate! read more

Ordered a door dash order for the family while spending a layover night here. Based off the reviews and kitchen open at the time we ordered it was a good bet. The food was delicious!! So glad it worked out. I was nervous because you can't specify a spice level when you order online but it came perfectly spiced. We devoured it. read more

Fighting Fish Thai Cuisine - Drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

The tom yum was good but came out not hot and the owner said it was done too salty - we did think it was a bit salty but the other parts of the soup were interesting so we didn't mind that too much. Except the noodles were quite soft. The green curry was not green, and lacked flavor. We've been to Thailand and also had it plenty on the US and this is the most bland I've ever had. It could have had a few more veggies in it as well. The drunken noodles didn't have enough veggies in it, and my portion didn't have any meat in it, but my kid's dish apparently had tons of meat. We asked for some chili on the side so we could customize the spice level for a person in our party, but were told they do not do that. Every Asian restaurant should have a spice/condiment tray or similar. read more

One of the BEST Thai restaurants in Boston. Love that I don't have to drive into the city, there is a spacious parking lot, and the folks inside are always speedy and friendly. The food is spicy, delicious, and flavorful every time. Everything is fantastic and I've yet to taste a dish that I wouldn't get again. Things I've gotten: -Larb - quintessential, can't go wrong. -Thai Saap Pork Ribs Soup: SO GOOD. Sour and spicy (you can adjust the heat). It was perfect during the cold winter. The ribs were very tender and the broth was full of flavor. -Pad Thai - again, can't go wrong. -Wonton Soup - some of the best I've had. The broth was deliciously savory and so much tastier than the bland versions you get from most Chinese places. -Pad See Ew - also fantastic. -Rad Nah - appreciated that they packed the noodles separately so I could assemble the dish fresh. No soggy noodles. -Ka Prow Crispy Pork - by the time I got it home, it wasn't very crispy anymore but it didn't matter because the flavor was fantastic. -Crispy Chicken Basil - same thing, not too crispy but still delicious. Restaurant decor looks comfortable and there are a decent amount of tables inside. I haven't made the effort to eat onsite yet, but looking forward to doing that at some point because I definitely want to try their whole fish. It looks amazing! Can totally understand why some people would be intimidated by the location and look from outside, but looks can be deceiving! Absolutely worth the drive. read more

staff is attentive and kind, food is delicious im definitely going again. ordered mango rice dessert but mangos weren't in season so the owner refused to serve it which is very respectful and admirable. i know some places rather serve anything just to get service but he cares about reputation so i respect that a lot. read more

Hidden in the industrial district of Everett, next to Stardust Video - one could easily miss Fighting Fish. And I'm so glad I didn't; this tiny spot deserves the spotlight. The food is rustic country cookery - and the flavors are bold, deep, well balanced and authentic. Every dish we shared was outstanding and satisfying. The restaurant itself is well-decorated, warm and inviting - and the service is friendly and quick. There's a surprising amount of seating available. Prices are more than fair. I have zero notes - just looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. read more

OMG this was the Isan (North Eastern Thailand) Flavors I needed ! Only 3min from encore you need to swing by and try their authentic papaya salad ! Pickled crabs added in for all the umami fun ! Fried whole fish was perfectly flaking and drizzled with a sweet and tangy sauce! Whole fish isn't your thing ! Try the Crispy Flakey Fish Salad ! This is a salad that is not commonly served in Thai restaurants - I would drive out just for This ! Chef Charles was on deck and he delivered one of the best lunches we will remember ! Came out and was one of the sweetest chefs who cares about his feedback They have outdoor seating as well ! If you visit during the summer - also parking is no issue - there's a lot ! read more

Best Thai food in the area and best Asian restaurant in the area ever since the Vietnamese place in Everett closed. They will make the tofu steamed instead of fried if you ask for it, we had that with the mixed vegetables and it was great. Papaya salad was a little spicy but very freshly cut and good. read more

Fighting Fish is the real deal. Don't let the quirky location throw you off. Well worth the trip.

Had their crispy chicken pad Thai for dinner tonight and it was amazing! Will definitely be visiting again

Such a great service and good flavor of thai food. The small place with a colorful decoration and nice ambiance. My friends and I ordered take away food the last minute before their closing time because our flight was delayed and we have to go on the long road trip to Maine. The owner, Neung and his husband offered us to having the food in the restaurant instead of take away and extend their closing time for us. It's so generous of them. On top of all, their menu and flavors are the best. read more

My family and I tried Fighting Fish Thai Cuisine for lunch today and it was great! We were pleasantly surprised by the interior of the restaurant. We got takeout, but definitely will have a sit-down meal next time. I got text messages to confirm our order and to let us know when it was ready for pickup, which was earlier than promised! We couldn't wait to dig in and forgot to take pictures of the food itself. For appetizers, we tried moo ping and scallion pancakes. For main courses, we got crispy chicken pad Thai, shrimp pad see ew, crispy chicken pad see ew, massaman curry, crispy chicken pineapple fried rice, and chicken broccoli stir fry. All were delicious and we will definitely be back! read more

Hidden Gem Alert! Authentic Thai Flavors in an Unexpected Spot Don't let the location fool you - Fighting Fish Thai Cuisine is a true hidden gem! Tucked away in the parking lot of Stardust Video, and right across from Rise Cannabis (the old King Arthur's site), this new spot delivers seriously delicious Thai food. I recently tried their Pad Ka Prow Pork with a Fried Egg, and it transported me straight back to the street food of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The flavors were spot-on, perfectly balanced, and truly authentic; im pretty sure that they used Holy Basil in the stir fry. It's the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and savor every bite. If you're looking for real Thai flavors and don't mind an unconventional setting, Fighting Fish is a must-try. I'm already planning my next visit! read more

Fighting Fish Thai Cuisine - Logo - Thai Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

Looking for a restaurant off the beaten path of route 16 in Everett? You have come to the right place. The Fighting Fish is a boutique kind of Thai restaurant nestled behind the New England Produce Center on Beacham Street. It's only been open a month and there seems to be a steady stream of customers coming to have a taste of what they have to offer We had the vegetable spring rolls. They had just enough crunch and sauce on the side for dipping I opted for the yellow chicken curry. We also wanted to try the soups. II got the coconut soup and my hubby had the wonton soup. My soup was spicy and sweet with good sized shrimp. The yellow curry was delicious. It was loaded with tasty chicken and yummy vegetables. The serving was so generous that I ended up taking the rest of it home My hubby's chicken basil was excellent. It had tender chicken, mushrooms, string beans, and other vegetables. It was spicy but not overpowering. The waiter told us it was his first night working. He was sweet but you could tell he was nervous but he did well. My hubby was the one who suggested we come today and we weren't disappointed Family owned, his brother and mother each took turns wearing a chili pepper costume outside of the restaurant to bring in customers Just make sure you don't take the other sign so seriously in front of the building. Worth a trip! We will be back! Enjoy! read more
