    Chicken Grapow, shredded
    Gary G.

    Small, strip mall eatery mostly geared toward takeout, but with a handful of tables for dining in. It's a one-person show (the owner) at the front of the house, so you'll need some patience waiting for her to answer the phone, take care of takeout customers, tend to other tables, etc. So be kind and more importantly, plan your water intake accordingly. Overall, a MUCH-better-than-you'd-expect place with compelling flavors and really nice execution. General tip: Skip the copycat Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant fare that's probably there out of obligation, and stick to the Thai items where they really shine, and especially the entrees. Chicken Star: Flattened Thai style popcorn chicken, with decent crunch and a mostly pleasant flavor, although it's sweeter than it needs to be. A common area condiment station has ingredients to kick this up, but it's fine as is and a pretty good value too. Hot Wings: Less of a value, as the price has gone up and the portion has gone down of late (that's the case at all restaurants in the post-pandemic era), but these are large wing pieces, cooked to nail the contrast between crisp exterior and juicy center. Sweet tangy heat on top, basically your typical Thai sweet chile sauce a la Mae Ploy, but well executed. More of a concession to an American palate, but delicious nevertheless. Tofu Triangles: Crisp outside, tender inside, and enjoyable enough for carnivores that we got two orders for our party of six. Peanut dipping sauce on the side. I kick that up with chile condiments. Pork skewers (occasional special): Often called moo ping, with a lively thin, herby, crunchy dip, often called nam jim jaew. Tender and nice flavor with or without the condiment. Seaweed Salad: A healthy app that's a refreshing counterpoint to both the hot and the sweet. Have had it many times. Papaya Salad: Also refreshing, with lots of crunch, and lots of heat too, so it's more about its own flavor than counterpoint. Crisp, refreshing, but very mild compared to other versions I've had, especially Cambodian ones. You can vary the heat to your preference, as you can with all dishes. Chicken Larb: Served warm and fully cooked, this salad is spicy, herbal, sour, and light. Large portion. Khao Soi: Excellent noodles underneath, with just enough of the firmness still intact; the crunchy noodles on top are a higher grade than most. Made with protein of choice (I choose chicken), thick and spicy yellow curry, onions, scallions, pickled mustard greens, and herbs. Every aspect well executed. Chicken Grapow: Usually with ground crumbly chicken, sometimes long shreds, with a fairly light brown sauce leaning less on oyster sauce and more on the heavy use of sweet basil. Irresistibly flavored, it's one of their best dishes. Good flavor from the spices and good use of basil. Can be made as spicy as you like. Other Mix 'n' Match Plates: Like many Thai restaurants, you can pick your protein, or for non-meat eaters, vegetables, tofu, or seafood. All of these have been very good. There's no particular specialty I'd recommend over any other; go with your instincts. Pork Belly: Crispy but sometimes a little too fatty. Fish with String Bean: Fried, crunchy, tasty. Mildly spicy. Salmon Choo Chee: A thick slab of salmon, well cooked in its own right even before the sauce additions, but made tastier after a thick, tasty curry sauce whose heat can be customized. Served with broccoli crowns. Enjoyable as Thai food or simply as seafood. Beef Salad: Slightly warm in this rendition. Spicy, refreshing, faint hints of sweet, and a nice crunch from toasted rice. Sweet and Sour Fish: Not unlike what you might find in an old school Chinese restaurant, but with fried fish. Pineapples and cherry tomatoes, not cherries. Nice texture warm. Traditional and authentic? Who's to say, but a good dish for someone who's less adventurous with the unfamiliar Thai fare. Tofu with Eggplant: Crisp large chunks of tofu with crunchy vegetables, and the namesake eggplant velvety beneath the exterior.

    Absolutely delicious! The portions for the noodles are insane. I got the Chicken Kee Mao and had 2 meals worth. However, the spicy chicken wings was not the most bang for your buck, but was very yummy so if price isn't a factor, definitely get it. I also really enjoyed their Thai iced tea. Takeout is very easy and still tasted delicious even after a drive. I'm definitely coming here again and I think it'll be my go to take out for Thai

    Welcome

    Dinner tonight was takeout from Khao Hom, eaten in my car while my kid was at practice for 3 hours. The restaurant has 6 or 7 tables for eat in dining. TIP from the restaurant, If you order online order through TOAST, it is cheaper than order through the restaurant website. Seems crazy, buts it's true. I ordered Pad See Ew with chicken. It was delicious, piping hot and loaded with chicken and veggies. This place will be in the rotation for nights I draw the short straw and have to take the kid to practice.

    Pho (chicken) and spring rolls
    Krista R.

    3.5 stars. Very homey Thai restaurant located in an out of the way strip mall. Lunch took a while to receive but I appreciated that everything was made to order. Spring rolls - large order. Not quite as crisp as I'd like but flavor was good. Piping hot! Chicken pho - delicious. Chicken was well poached and the pho broth was solid.

    New Memu !

    Koto opened recently in Downtown Lowell, in the former Bar 74 space. This Asian fusion restaurant…read moreoffers dine-in, takeout, and DoorDash delivery, a spacious dining area with ample table seating, a full service bar with high soft seats offering 12 beers on draft, wine, and cocktails and sushi bar. For food, they offer the usual suspects such as appetizers (gyoza, spring rolls, shumai crab rangoons, edamame, skewers, chicken fingers, scallion pancake...), soup, salads, noodle soups, stir fried noodles, fried rice, bento boxes, teriyaki dinners, katsu, donburi, sushi rolls, and sashimi entrees and appetizers. The pricing is moderate here. On my way back home, I passed through Lowell and decided to stop in at Koto for takeout, later in the evening before closing time. The place wasn't too busy on a hot weeknight. I decided on the Shrimp & Veggie Yaki Udon Noodles ($16 plus tax), which was hot, ready and bagged in a nice looking sealed Koto reusable bag. The food was still hot when I arrived home about 30 minutes later. The portion seemed modest, but expected since I ordered the thick round udon noodles. This dish had a mix of soft udon noodles, carrots, broccoli, onions, red peppers, cabbage, zucchini, and tender shrimp (cleaned). Other than the noodle dish being a bit overcooked, it tasted pretty good. I will very likely order the pork katsu with rice & salad or a bento box on the next visit to Koto in Lowell.

    This place was dead at 10pm on a wednesday. I showed up at 10:30, having read the flyer stating…read morekaraoke starts at 10pm... false advertising. I am standing there while the "DJ" literally sits and eats drinks and smokes, and the excuse to sit around and do nothing is he "has no singers". I arrive half an hour after the official start time and he would not let me do karaoke. This guy does the same thing wherever he goes it's crazy. Then the angry owner protects his friend rather than hold him accountable for not doing his job.. It's no wonder the nightlife scene in Lowell is dead. These people put their delinquent friends and/or family before their customers. Hopefully some business-minded people will take these spots over where, these people are taking the location and the local people for granted. The fact that he even said, "starting at 10pm" is crazy, and shows how out of touch and uncaring these business people are, as any1 with a middleschool education can clearly see the entire problem was that karaoke...from my own FIRST HAND ACCOUNT, hadn't started at 10pm. Yes, please do as this guy says; be there at 10pm like I did and see if the karaoke isn't started by 10:33 pm (which is when I finally left) or even 10pm as he's claiming, make sure you also leave this owner a 1 Star review to prevent more uppity out-of-town business owners who think they run the place from taking advantage of local spots where good businesses would actually thrive and add value to the area instead of more smug, cynical, every man for himself, here today, gone tomorrow turn-key bullcrap. This guy is delusional... everything I stated was a first hand account, for him to flat out LIE is crazy. Also the story he is giving here doesn't match up with what he said in his own restaurant. I had a face to face convo with this guy INSIDE the restaurant.. the karaoke hadn't started and he knew that because he told me, "this DJ had a method where he waits for a bunch of singers to show up". So this guy KNEW and yet he calls out the truth on me, what a snake. What a pompous, nose-in-the-air person this guy is. Untruths, lol a word the news uses to blanket discount anything any1 says. Goes to show even people with money can be crazy, it's not just the guy strung out sitting on trash. Also, this DJ's "method" is him sitting around drinking, smoking, and ordering drinks WELL PAST the karaoke start time. I literally went to another location that "hires" him (more like a charity donation) and it was LITERALLY past 11:30 pm and this same DJ hadn't started yet despite the start time being 10pm.... These big business types want you to shut up and take it and be quiet, they care nothing of the service they provide.

But it almost seems unnecessary, because so little has changed. The decor is still the same, the staff are still the same. The menu has changed a bit - a few of my favorite appetizers are gone, and of course prices have gone up. This time, our group all started with unsweetened Thai iced tea, which I don't remember being an option previously. It's just the tea without the sweetened condensed milk, and it delivers the same flavor you'd expect otherwise. The Thai rolls were just as crisp and satisfying as ever. Our dinners were all had different varieties of chicken with combinations of vegetables, noodles, or rice. My Sesame Chicken came with broccoli florets which were a tad overcooked, and the batter on the chicken was too crunchy. But was it tasty? Yes! For those take-out dinners in-between then and now, I'm still a huge fan of their appetizers and especially their Tom Yum soup. Apart from possibly ordering things a bit too spicy, I still feel it's tough to go wrong with dinner here.
