    The Vietnamese side of the menu
    Bill Z.

    Khao San is a new restaurant in downtown Andover serving Vietnamese and Thai fare, so new that when I showed up there for dinner, their Grand Opening sign was still over the door. While the entrees are traditional, they're served in a style I'd call "halfway to fusion" - presented in a more attractive, less traditional manner in many cases. The menu is 2-sided, with Thai dishes on one side, Vietnamese dishes on the other, and appetizers and beverages wherever space could permit them. We started with drinks and an appetizer of summer rolls with shrimp. My Thai iced tea was beautifully made and some of the best I've had in a long time. All our food came out very quickly. The peanut sauce for the summer rolls was rich and very thick (stir it before using it), very easy to spoon onto the rolls. Our meals - buns (rice vermicelli with meats) - came with a generous amount of nuoc cham. I thought that the meats - pork and chicken - could have been slightly more grilled for the flavor of the char, but otherwise the meats were both still flavorful and extremely tender. All the ingredients were really fresh as well. The decor here is charming, mixes of both traditional and contemporary Vietnamese and Thai cultures. You may want to use Google Lens to read some of the signs and items on the walls, you'll find them very entertaining. Service is equally charming with a friendly and welcoming staff.

    Steamed mussels
    Caroline N.

    Came on a whim after seeing a review on Instagram. From the large menu, we ordered the "chef special" steamed mussels with the signature sauce, bun bo hue, pad thai with crispy chicken and a Thai iced tea. Super impressed with how fresh and authentic the dishes tasted! Restaurant was very clean and prices were reasonable. Will definitely be back to try their other dishes

    Grilled Chicken Bun
    Gloria L.

    The flavor of the grilled chicken was delicious and it paired perfectly with the crunchy veggies in the refreshing vermicelli bowl. I also loved the taro dessert (bua loy taro), it was warm, chewy, and not too sweet. My friend got the mama kee Mao, it's her favorite. Giant slabs of ribs and great portion. And the service was great too. The decor felt like you were in the streets of Thailand, the walls were covered in things a street vendor would sell.

    I was pleased to discover that Lots of Eats is a Thai restaurant. It is not obvious by its name or…read moresignage, which may make it more difficult for diners seeking Thai to identify it. I had a very pleasant lunch yesterday. Ordered seafood drunken noodles. I was served a very generous and delicious plate of noodles, veggies, squid, shrimp and scallops. I enjoyed it, but found it somewhat less flavorful than I would have liked. Possibly catering to a mostly Caucasian clientele, for my taste it probably could have used more fish sauce, My thoughts only, They have an expansive Thai menu which I look forward to sampling over the coming months. It is on the more expensive side, which is likely justified by a large portion size and fresh ingredients and ever increasing national prices. This is a very stylish restaurant inside with a clean elegant decor. Very suitable for a special meal. Service was fast and friendly, beautiful clean bathrooms and lots of off street parking. Recommended! The restaurant also has a small (6 seat?) full bar

    Removing a star since I had a subpar experience dining in last night. I asked for a table for two…read moreand was waiting for a friend to arrive. I felt like two of the employees were hovering over me as I waited which was uncomfortable. They asked me more than once if I wanted to order before my friend arrived. We were given the check before we were finished. We were planning to order another round of drinks but decided not to based on this. Once we paid one of the employees was hovering over us waiting for us to leave so she could clean the table. I'd be more understanding of this if it was crowded and people were waiting to dine in, but it wasn't that busy. I also noticed none of the other tables got the same treatment as us. No idea why that is but it left a sour taste in my mouth figuratively speaking. However the food and drinks were delicious as always so at least there's that. I've had better service sitting at the bar so if I decide to dine in again I think I'll stick to that.

    Surprising combination of bargain basement lunch specials pricing, big portions, respectable…read morequality, and friendly service. Clean, well-kept place. Sweet and Sour Chicken (on the combo): Seven large pieces, very high meat-to-batter ratio, good crispness on some, not so crisp on others, and a mild "blush" take on the sweet and sour sauce. Cherries and pineapples included. Interestingly served on its own plate, separate from the rice and appetizer, and there was enough there that it could pass as a full order at some places. Pork Fried Rice (on the combo, served in its own bowl ): Not listed as one of the options, but they accommodated me, and it came out surprisingly well-- sort of a cross between Yang Chow fried rice and old school pork fried rice. The pork was fresh and tender; the egg prominent. Very enjoyable even though I was hoping for old school style. Egg Roll (on the combo, served on its own plate ): Small, crisp of shell, and crisp and moist inside, with mostly cabbage and pork. Decent seasoning. Duck Sauce: A cross between standard applesauce-based duck sauce and the dreaded orange packets. Perhaps a little too close to the latter. Overall, an impressive spread for a mere $10.95. The 4 stars take value into account.

The two of us started with a fried gyoza (always good), followed by yue yang spicy beef and fish filet in garlic sauce. The beef was wonderfully spicy, the fish fresh and tasty -- both new items on the Jade menu. Our inquiries to Sally about the sushi offerings landed us an unexpected treat: a sample of Carpaccio in garlic basil sauce, a superb offering of three delightful mouthfuls of japanese sublety laced with European flavor touches. Yum!
