Kow Piek Sen, Kowpoon Curry Noodle Soup, Thai Iced Tea
Alanis S.

First and foremost as a Lao person the food is amazing. Quiet service, good amount of space between tables, bathroom available. I recommend the Kow Piek Sen!

These clowns charge a CUSTOMER SERVICE fee too! Yeah, customers can be so annoying, they come in, they order food and then give you money.

BLACKLISTED just like Lanxang Star. They're charging "customer service fees" of 3.5% and God knows what else when you pay by credit card. As I said before, this should be illegal. Pretty sure it's part of their credit card contract agreement, they should not be allowed to charge more for customers paying with credit cards. They just tell you a number, you don't know what it adds up to, can't get a clear answer what you're paying for, except that "the machine adds fees when you pay by credit card"... WHY!? That's the cost of doing business accepting credit cards! They have the same sticker as Lanxang Star on the counter, except it's half-covered behind the menu, so they charge credit card fees / "customer service fees", as it says on the receipt! ("Thanks for coming in, ordering food, giving us your money, but this is extra work for us, we need to charge you a "customer service" fee for that. Sorry". WTF!). They're just as bad as Lanxang Star... These were our favorite restaurants but they wanna play games for 3-4% fees for this and that. Have at it. We're never going there again and I'll let everyone know... This is unbelievable what all these restaurants get away with nowadays "in the name of COVID" and whatnot... "Ohhhh... business is bad, COVID, we're hurting, we need to charge you for to go containers... we need to charge you credit card fees.... we need to charge you customer service fees.... we need to charge you for napkins.....". WAKE UP FOLKS! Enough of this ____! NEVER AGAIN Lanxang Star, Lanxang Express, Pho Dalat and alike.

Food was good and fresh Service was friendly Place is nice, quiet and clean I will be back again when I crave for the boat noodles

Kowpoon Curry Noodle Soup

Food was delicious and flavorful. The curry noodles had a nice kick to them, but the spice didn't overwhelm the other flavors. The portions were generous; could easily feed two hungry people. The person taking orders was friendly & honest about the wait time.

*Pad Thai* one of my favorites plates besides the drunken noodles too, good food and service

See all

I truly wish I could give this place a full five stars, because the food itself is absolutely…read moreamazing. Every dish I've ever tried was flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. You can tell a lot of heart goes into the cooking here. On top of that, the staff is wonderful -- friendly and genuinely welcoming, which always makes us feel valued as guests. Unfortunately, I have to rate my current experience four out of five stars due to an issue that significantly impacted our meal. While we were eating, there were cockroaches crawling on the wall near us, which was extremely unsettling and completely tainted the experience. It made it very difficult to continue enjoying our food, despite how delicious it was. I say this with sincerity: if the restaurant can fully address the cleanliness concerns, including any cockroach or rodent issues, I truly believe this place can return to being a solid five-star restaurant. The food and the people are already there -- it just needs that final, crucial piece to match the quality of everything else.

Viet-Thai is one of the few Vietnamese spots in Lowell and definitely gets the job done if you're…read morelooking for a place that offers pho. Though they advertise they serve both Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, you won't find boat noodle soup or khao soi here for Thai food. For Vietnamese noodle soups, they do offer some of the other popular ones like bun bo hue, bun rieu, and bo kho. Here, they also have rice plates and vermicelli bowls too. I typically get their bun bo hue and it's good every time. Service is pretty quick and staff is always nice.

Zero expectations. Just me and my love for Thai food pulling into an unassuming, clearly…read morefamily-owned spot in Billerica, MA. And yes--I always root for places like this. Normally, pad Thai is my litmus test at a new restaurant. Safe. Predictable. But not today. Khao Moo Grob was calling my name, and I never say no to crispy crackling pork. Ever. Good choice. This dish absolutely delivered. Deeply comforting, rich, and soulful--the kind of plate that feels like it came from a home kitchen, not a menu. You don't make food like this without some kind of Thai grandma quietly running the show in the back. I was also talked into the curry puff, which they only make in limited quantities daily. The filling? Not my favorite. But the puff pastry itself? Buttery, impossibly flaky, and executed to perfection. Honestly, they could've filled it with sand and I still would've finished it. And look--Billerica isn't exactly known as a culinary hotspot. But Bang Na Thai is doing something right. If I'm anywhere near the area again, I'm absolutely coming back

Chicken curry puffs (5 stars) 4.) Panang Curry (5 stars) We all fell sick with a viral cold. So, eating hot tasty Thai food was just what the doctor ordered after days of congestion. I found the portions to be a good match the food prices. Prices were honestly very reasonable for high quality Thai food. Our food was made right away, hot and ready for us within 15 minutes of ordering. I was impressed and will be ordering from here again!

I always hesitate getting…read morebeef 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.

Small, strip mall eatery mostly geared toward takeout, but with a handful of tables for dining in…read more 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.
