Delicious food and great servings size. Definitely recommend. Been going for years now

I'm always happy to support small businesses, so we often try local restaurants whenever we can. We also love Thai food, and after seeing so many positive reviews on Yelp, we decided to give this place a try. We drove over 30 miles just to eat here. We ordered three dishes -- Pad Thai, Tom Yum Noodles, Drunken Noodles -- along with a Thai iced tea. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed. I've had Thai food at many places in Massachusetts, and this was honestly one of the worst Thai meals I've ever had. Pad Thai: The peanuts smelled like old/rancid oil, the noodles were mushy, and the dish didn't taste like Pad Thai at all. Drunken Noodles: The seafood had an unpleasant smell, the noodles were extremely mushy and falling apart, and the whole dish felt way too oily. Tom Yum Noodles: It was sour -- extremely sour -- but it didn't have the balanced, flavorful taste that Tom Yum is supposed to have. Thai Iced Tea: It was overwhelmingly sweet. It honestly felt like I was drinking straight sugar. We really wanted to like this place, especially because we always try to support small businesses, but the food was a huge disappointment. Please don't call this Thai food. read more

I have been their customer for about 2 years. Food used to be value for money before but the price hike doesn't do the justice to the food quality. Hence we stopped take outs from there. read more

I've never had so much beef in a noodle dishes from a restaurant before. I always hesitate getting beef from Thai places since it is usually the fake tasting beef you find in American Chinese food but was pleasantly surprised. - Pho flavor was definitely different than what you would find in a Viet place and was good. - Pad Kee Mao: The rice noodles probably could be cooked better, reminds me of how it would come out if I cooked at home, all clumped together and broken. The flavor of the dish more than made up for it. read more

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. read more

Still a huge fan 7 years later :) We regularly order takeout from Khao Hom and have enjoyed everything on the menu. Typically we order red curry, chicken stars, pho, or stir fry and are really happy with the quality of the food and the service. read more

The Pho is amazing! Such fresh ingredients and super flavorful. The fresh rolls are also delicious. Highly recommend.

Food is always amazing - huge portions and great customer service. Everything tastes consistently good! Definitely try it out

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 read more

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. read more

Easily the best and most authentic Thai food in the area! It's been my go to for years now. You can tell it's food made with love.

Oh! My! God! I love this place! First, dead on fantastic thai. I've lived in SF, the south, and been to Singapore and Australia. I've sampled some great thai food. These folks nail it! But the reason I absolutely love them, the reason I get a meal from them at least once a week is that they give me spicy food. I went all over town asking for spicy food. I asked for "thai spicy", then I asked for "please try to blow my doors off spicy", and I kept getting luke warm mediocre heat. They listened and I love them for it. (And they have a little tray on the side that you can grab extra -strip your hair at the roots spicy additives - if you so desire.) read more

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. read more

Really good homemade Thai food and the owner lady is super sweet and nice, I tend to do takeout here but it's always good especially their Thai fried rice that I get with chicken and shrimp. Very authentic also their chicken coconut soup is the best I've ever had it is so creamy With the incredible texture plenty of chicken and you get I would say a medium to large size bowl very good place highly recommended. read more

Finally, an affordable Thai place near Burlington. This is such a hidden gem, we can't stop raving about it. The noodles bring me back to the eats in Thailand. The pad thai had a bit of smokiness to it that actually paired so well with my wine (full bodied red blend, Indigene Cellars, Ambiente). The pad see ew had great flavor, just the right amount of sauce. I had the veggie/tofu and it was awesome. Didn't miss a beat, albeit vegetarian! read more

Always a go to for Thai food. They are not shy with the spice if you ask for it. Small seating area with 4 to 5 tables, mostly takeout.

Fantastic food! Great service! We found this place by accident and have gone a few times since. They accommodate all my food allergies and the food still tastes great! Highly recommend read more

so we just ordered and picked up the $5 pad thai special from here. Now mind you we do a LOT of Thai food around here and I have Thai family, so I know what it should taste like. Lots of folks recommended so we tried it. Our Pad Thai tastes old- spoiled -something DEF wrong- too much fish sauce (I dont even think it should be in there but thats what it tastes like)? Old chicken? Cooked after something else and not a clean pan-? Im not sure. I'm so bummed. We will def try again but we just threw the entire order out Our Shu mai and crab rangoon are amazing. update: I called them and let them know= they credited me (which was not my intent but thanks!) and she was going back to see what happened- she thinks it might have been cooked with something else by mistake. We will still try again but still bummed. lol read more

We absolutely love Khao Hom! Since we moved to the area we have gotten food here almost once a week. Delicious fresh food, made fast and with generous portions. We miss Khao Hom and are looking forward to when they reopen! read more

Best Thai food in the Boston area. The only reason I take a star away is cause the service is sometimes poor. It seems like they don't have enough employees, so the lady working the front is always running around trying to do everything. Last time I went, for example, they didn't have anyone to wash the dishes, so I had to use paper/styrofoam plates and cups to eat the meal. Anyways, my favorite dishes there are pad Thai and som tum (papaya salad). The salad is super spicy, so you might want to ask for it to be mild. read more

Honestly, every time I come here the food is just as delicious as the 1st time!! I'm so happy there is an Asian restaurant right next to me so I don't have to travel to Lowell all the time to satisfy my cravings. I was too hungry take a picture of my pho bowl, but these apps are bomb.com!! IYKYK read more

Nice woman at front desk: Place was very clean and the food was excellent. I will be back.

These are nice people and this is cheaper than other Thai places for sure. Unfortunately even the Tofu Red Curry barely has any flavor. It's edible, but anyone that likes there Thai flavorful, seek your Thai elsewhere. The Pad Thai is just way off what it should taste like. It may be the worst I've ever had. Please, owner, change your recipe. I gave you a 2nd chance but that was on me. I'm giving 2 stars because I think they are well intentioned but need some guidance. read more

I go for lunch every couple weeks and get the same cashew nut chicken. The food is delicious, portions are plentiful and the service is friendly. it's a must try. read more

We said we'd be baaacckkk! Another yummy in the tummy authentic Thai lunch! Still under pandemic rules, still just take out only. But man, if they do such a good job with take out, I'd LOVE to try them when we can dine in there! Today's order included: Red curry Talay - 5 stars. There's no lunch portion on the weekend but that's fine because it's so great. Fresh and plump seafood happily swam in a sea of red curry sauce. There was tons of bamboo strips. I may ask them to go easy next time but I really love the portion size. Pad Kee Mao Talay - 5 stars. We ordered medium heat this time so we can get a real taste without burning our faces off. A little more sweet note in the seasoning but there was a nice balance of herbs. Crispy Pork Basil Pork - 5 stars. The pork was not crispy by the time we got home but that's an artifact of take out meals. But man, when we opened the lid, that surprisingly fragrant steam gave a big hello! This dish is da bomb! read more

This is a little hole in the wall we were happy to discover. We ordered the cashew beef and pad Thai and both were wonderful, added an appetizer and hot tea and even after tip it was under $50. We will be back. Looks like they do a large tak out service as well. read more

Best Thai food in the area by far. Can't get enough of the Kee mao. Only complaint is the hours are a little inconsistent, but the food is absolutely delicious. read more

Best drunken noodles and the basil rice is phenomenal, I love this place and would recommend to anyone

My absolute favorite take out! I've never had a bad meal from khao hom. The portions are generous and the food always arrives piping hot. The crunchy veggie rolls are perfectly crunchy and delicious. I could eat those all day! The Thai iced tea always hits the spot too! Service is fast, friendly and consistent. This place has quickly become my comfort take out food! read more

We had driven by this plaza for months and kept casually mentioning that it would be good to try. It is pretty close to our house, so finally we decided to come for a Friday night dinner. Like other reviewers mention, it isn't a big place or fancy at all. It is a small family restaurant that probably does more takeout orders than eat-in. However, they took great care of us. The people were so kind, and the food left us more than satisfied. My husband got the pho and I ordered the basil noodles with chicken. For an appetizer we had the chicken satay and for dessert, the mango sticky rice. I am so impressed by the delicious food. Thai is one of the cuisines we have eaten at a lot of different locations, and let's just say we are thrilled that this place is nearby. Some of the pictures were after a bite or two because we just couldn't help ourselves. They accommodated gluten free for me easily. This is a gem, a family restaurant gem run by people who care about their customers and food. You HAVE to order the mango sticky rice to top everything off. read more

We discovered this spot during the pandemic for takeout and it has been an amazing find. We ordered from this place 4 times in the last 4 months and every time, food was fantastic. We have tried Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, Red Curry and Scallion Pancakes and all of them were great. Portion sizes are huge. One entree is large enough for two people. Their prices are okay. The restaurant is quite hygienic. Every time, I have been there, there are not more than 2 people inside the restaurant for pickup and there are sanitizer bottles kept. read more

I love LOVE Khao Hom. I love their chicken star and crab rangoons. I love their fried rice and vegetables dishes. They are quick on delivery, and I like supporting a local restaurant. read more

Great find as we had an appointment nearby. Located in a strip mall but food is authentic. They do a killer takeout business with a few tables. read more

Dined on a Friday between 2 and 3 pm. Originally going to try Max Noodles but they were closed for vacation so this was our next pick based on Yelp reviews. Located in a pretty dated plaza with ample parking. When we walked in we were greeted by two men who appeared to be working there (one or both could have been the owner?), given menus and offered water. As we pursued the menu, a lady walked in and after stopping in the kitchen she returned to take our orders. We decided to start with the wonton noodle soup and the pork pad thai and chicken ginger stir fry for our lunch entrees, all to share. The soup arrived piping hot with 4 wontons and a nice amount of herbs and greens on top. The wontons were excellent and very much like the ones my father used to make. We could both have liked the soup broth to be less salty. The pad thai and chicken arrived shortly as we were finishing our soup. The pork in the pad thai was tender, the rice noodles were very thin (like vermicelli) unlike most pad thai noodles I've ever had. We would have preferred more vegetables in the pad thai. Tons of noodles though. The chicken entree had a lot of peppers and onions and we would have preferred a variety of other veggies...guessing we should have ordered a vegetarian dish too? Chicken was tender as well. The taste of both entrees were reminiscent of my childhood (Cantonese household) but my friend preferred more spices. We both left very full, the pace was good, service very friendly and attentive, clean but dated. $22 excluding tip. read more

This is one of our family's go to restaurant. Be it a weekday quick dinner, or a weekend grub with friends or family or catering for an event, Khao Hom always comes through. Our favorite go to dishes are: Chicken Satay, Beef satay, spring rolls, fresh rolls, tom yum soup and our all time fav Pad Ke Mao. The service is always great and they deliver around the neighborhood for a reasonable fee. The prices are pretty good as well. We have had the food catered for a few events and they always deliver good quality food right on time for the guests to grub. Best Thai food in Billerica area. read more
