Khao Soi
Thomas T.

The restaurant is nice and cozy with vibrant colors throughout and street food episodes of Thailand on the televisions. It appears more popular for takeout than for dining in. The staff is attentive and friendly with helping us order. The Khao Soi had an amazing curry soup and is a good one to order if you want to try something different. The drunken noodles have more content than noodles, I actually would want more noodles to balance out the meal and flavors. A great spot for Thai and it was recommended to me to try.

Prawn pad Thai and Massaman curry
Robert S.

Amazing Thai food which is very authentic and delicious. Small but cozy, awesome service and no long wait for a table and food. I will definitely return to this establishment.

I enjoyed the food I had here. I've had more flavorful versions of these dishes, but the dishes I had were good nonetheless. The service was great and the food came out fast. The noodle to veggie/meat ratio could use work on the Drunken Noodles. There were barely any noodles. Also there was a container of sugar on the table which can easily be mistaken for salt, so heads up!!!

Thai-ny Boat Noodle
Christine L.

Larb Zaab is solid Thai spot located in Wollaston! I recently visited this spot and tried their Thai-ny Boat Noodle bowl. First, I loved the name "Thai-ny" as it was clever for the small bowl. When it came out it was actually a little bit bigger than I though. Second, although the bowl was "tiny", the noodle bowl was packed full of flavor! I got their dry noodles with beef and it was so good. This is the perfect appetizer to pair with any of their dishes or if you're not that hungry. The noodles were perfectly cooked and everything was seasoned well. This definitely was made with love! The chicken satay was also good, just a little bit dry. The coconut flavor really stood out and paired well with the provided sauces. The restaurant itself is on the smaller end but there are a handful of tables to dine in. They got pretty busy around lunch on a Saturday afternoon but most people ordered takeout. The service was friendly and overall the vibes were homey, reflecting the feelings of having a home-cooked dish. Parking is a bit tough (it is Wollaston) but if you look on side streets you should be able to find something. There is also the Wollaston T Station parking lot that you can park at! Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try and I'd love to try different dishes!

Crispy chicken rice
Shirley C.

It was a delicious lunch, a little expensive but the service was good and it was very authentic. The designs are very Thai themed. The fried chicken was delicious but expensive The curry noodles were yummy and the crispy chicken rice was very juicy and crispy. The udon basil stir fry noodles were good but a little too sweet for my personal preference. The Thai tea was good and the Thai iced coffee was good as well. Overall, a nice lunch place, only street parking. The interior is small, only maybe 4 tables.

Thai-ny Boat Noodle
Kimmy M.

All our dishes very tasty and really authentic Thai food. It's a hidden gem. If you like Thai food must try. The server was friendly and helpful , The atmosphere was cozy ,but they had a few table, place kind of small but nice decorative with Thai culture. Definitely we go back again to try more dishes!

Tom Yum Noodle Soup
Jeff S.

Stopped by for lunch. Quiet inside so service was great. The tom yum soup was tasty. Flavorful broth and quality chicken. I would come again.

Khao kha moo
Alyanna T.

My partner and I got the larb (chicken), khao kha moo, nuea daad deaw, Thai-ny boat noodle (beef), and sweet sticky rice w Thai custard - TASTE: 5/5 - everything was tasty! My fave was the larb w its perfect balance of red onion, cilantro, mint, chili, and lime juice. Enjoyed the comforting flavors of the pork hock stew (khao kha moo), the savory, sour broth of the boat noodle soup, and the well-seasoned, fatty beef jerky (nuea daad deaw). Perfect ending w dessert; I live for coconut sticky rice TEXTURE: 4/5 - highlights include the larb's ground chicken, the chicharrón in the boat noodle soup, the tender pork hock, and the spongy Thai custard PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $62 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - left satisfied w our dinner SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 5:15pm on a Sunday and only one other table was occupied. Food started coming out 10min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - bright space, of around 20 seats, w good Thai music and beautiful pla taphian, aka woven fish hanging mobiles PARKING: 4/5 - got a free street spot on Beale St

Tom Yum Prawn
Lan T.

We had the Khao Ka Pow Jumbo and Tom Yom Prawn. I liked the Khao Ka Pow Jumbo with rice. The Tom Yom was a disappointment. The broth was both too salty and sweet at the same time. The prawns were not fresh at all! The servers were really nice! No wait on a Friday night!

Golden bags
Barbara K.

Small clean local mom and pop Thai restaurant. This is an authentic Thai menu for sure! I have come here many times with friends and also have referred some and I always get good feedback. The portions are very fair with the price charged. The service here is very friendly and the food comes out pretty quick. Great place for lunch or dinner on a low key day

Melanie W.

It's nothing special, but it's definitely a nice local Thai restaurant for a comfort meal at a reasonable price. The place is small, and we waited around 30 minutes on a Friday without reservation for 5 people. We ordered fried corn, golden bags, chicken satay, and kor moo yang for appetizers. My favorite was the fried corn and kor moo yang. Tom Yum Prawn was a bit spicy and had too much cilantro that covered the Tom Yum taste and was a little watery. Soft shell crab pad thai was considered okay, with not too much sauce, which I preferred so the rice noodles wouldn't stick together. I would order takeout from the place but not dine in since the place is small for a takeout order group.

Recently opened Larb Zaab takes over the old Pad Thai's location. Inspired by the Thai Street food scene, they bring to us authentic flavors! Larb Zaab is a cozy and inviting restaurant with cute little fish origami surrounding us. Their food is flavorful and you know it is spicy when spicy is in their name (Zaab = spicy). But we ordered little spicy and it had a minor kick to it. The drinks are super refreshing and they added drinks that you normally do not get from other Thai restaurants. We tried the Flower Tea Slushie, Thai Tea Slushie, and Longan. I LOVED the flower tea slushie because it has a pungent chrysanthemum taste. Crab Pad Thai, Khao Soi, Thai-ny (love a great pun) Boat Noodle, Fried Corn, Crispy Pork Belly Larb, just to name a few items we've shared and enjoyed.

Khao Moo Dang with sauce on the side
Sandra G.

They are the new thai restaurant replacing pad thai. Went there for lunch and the waitress was very polite and friendly. I ordered khao moo dang, with sauce on the side. The meat was delicious. Also replaced the rice with garlic rice. I can't wait to go back and try other menu. Space was only 5 tables and every one of them are taken!

My dinner companion had eyes on the fried shrimp and I on the fish and chips so we were eager to go back for another try. Our server remembered us from our previous/failed visit. He was extremely nice, knowledgeable of the menu, and quite helpful as we contemplated our predetermined selections: fried shrimp and fish & chips! The restaurant was somewhat empty which made for a comfortable and quiet dining experience. Our beers were delivered cold and quickly. And our meal came out rather quickly as well. My fish was breaded nicely and had a good crisp to it. The fish tasted fresh and was flakey just as it should be. My companion's shrimp were excellent. They were huge, fresh, sweet, and juicy with a crisp breading. The shrimp dish is actually big enough to share. The fries were good but not the best on the island. The slaw, eh...but the shrimp and fish!! We look forward to their reopening in the Spring!

Probably my top choice for Cantonese and Cantonese seafood in the area, Wealth is a small place,…read morebut definitely punches above its weight. Despite its size, Wealth is good for larger groups, with its sizeable round tables with lazy susans. Plus the restaurant is quite clean and does not have that dumpster or unknown stench that I detect at some Chinatown spots. The seafood here is strong, but other offerings are good as well. Their noodles have good wok flavor and are generously-portioned. I like their salt & pepper chicken wings as a party food or appetizer. Though a bit pricey, their black pepper beef on a sizzling pan is a bit of a show-stopper, with pretty tenderized beef. Even the vegetable entrees aren't bad as well. Their stir-fried peapod stems are pretty good. They'll work with you if you are vegan/vegetarian. Service is probably its weakness, even with the understanding that it's a Chinese restaurant and I order in Cantonese. They'll try to hurry you along at the end of a meal. One waiter even asked, "Are you done?" Before I could retort he said, "We're running a business here". The FOH is pretty nice and is prompt. The restaurant is literally across the street from the Wollaston T stop, so getting here without a car is totally possible.

The restaurant is all the way at the end of the Marina Bay walkway, so you get great views of the city. Service wasn't anything special, they did their job and went about their business. Food portions were decent for the price. I got the Poke Nachos and my partner got the Cali Bowl. The bowl was good, but the chips were not. The nachos were good but the chip portion was much larger than the poke.

I really loved this restaurant…read more To drink, I got the Spicy Cuke which came with a tajin rim & it was super refreshing, my friends got the Wildest Dreams and it was super light & fruity. To start we shared the Guacamole which came with tortilla chips and some sort of crema which was an nice addiction. When we finished the chips, but still had a guac left, they brought out more chips which was such a nice touch. For our meals, I got the carne asada tacos, as well as we got the fish tacos & the Cali Bowl and I really have no notes for any of the them! the tacos only had 2 in each dish but they were filled enough where it felt like enough food for a meal, and the bowl was large and a huge portion! We sat outside and while it was a beautiful day, the high top chairs were super uncomfortable, the actual seat was so small & they had no back, we found ourselves feeling pretty uncomfortable quickly. Overall, a really good spot for a good meal in Marina Bay & I can't wait to go back!

Not happy about my experience with this place today. I decided I wanted some fried clams, and…read morerather than go to two of the mainstays in the area, The Clam Box or Tony's Clam Shop, I figured I'd give this place a shot. So I go to their website and they have a large order of clams listed at $31.95, and I'm really in the mood for a big plate of clams so I say "what the heck" and order the large. When I arrive to pick up the order, there's a paper sign hanging by the register listing the prices for clams, and suddenly I find out the price I saw on the website was $8.00 dollars! less than what they were actually going to change me, $40.00. Since I have a sense of honor, and didn't want to just walk out without paying for my order, I paid for my takeout and left. Once I got home and opened my order I could see that it in no way resembled what you would expect is $40 worth of clams, I Get clams all the time at The Clam Box and Tony's for prices much lower than this and the amount I was looking at simply didn't justify that ridiculous $40 bill. Now there are other seafood takeout restaurant out there (such as Fred's for example) that allow their prices for clams and scallops to fluctuate with the market. And ALL of them list "Market Price" in the price area of those items on their website. Fish & Chips might show a set price but clams and scallops have "Market Price". Other shops like The Clam Box and Tony's list a fixed price for their clams and scallops on their website, and they HONOR that listed price. Adam's Fish Market does neither of these things, and I can guarantee they will never be seeing another order from me.

They've got tons of options and everything we ordered was very solid. We definitely went more of the carbs route, but you can deviate as well. Nothing of major note in terms of service or atmosphere. It's not the most upscale of restaurants, but it does the trick. I'd happily return, especially for some steamed buns!

Believe it or not, our Latino Uber driver told us about Quincy, MA on D2 of our first Boston trip a…read morefew weeks ago. He said that it's a predominantly Chinese community. So ofc I had to look it up and find a good dim sum place. I had low expectations going in. We called just to make sure they were open as we realize businesses in MA don't pick up their phones. Not only did someone answer but agreed to save a table for us during prime dim sum hours. (Excuse me...what?). Something is learned in MA is always factor in traffic, no matter what Google Maps says. It's nothing fancy when you walk in. You can tell a lot of locals hang up and meet up with friends here. Ah Wah welcomed us in, being seated immediately to the table along the wall, near the storage. The order sheet with pictures was given and immediately checked off our staple items. -Siu Mai This was DD's favorite of all time and she is the Siu Mai monger in our fam. I trust her opinion. Well balanced filling, nicely steamed. Not overly fatty or seafoody IYKYK -Baked BBQ bun Tradional baked bun. Slightly crunchy top (not the pineapple crust). I could have eaten a whole plate by myself had I not had to save room for other dishes -Har Gow (being that we're in a fresh seafood state) -Steamed Beef ball - it was steamed on a bed of greens vs dried tofu skin. Omg! It's been ages since I've had it this way -Sesame Roll The egg tarts were sold out and this was our consolation prize but OMG, I might have cried at the first bite. Yes. It was that good. Freshly steamed and them rolled bc it came out in the beginning and still hot on the inside -Tofu pudding -Rice Roll (Beef) -Sticky Rice (Lo Mai Gai) - "Ha moon choy mai" (kinda looks like Filipino pancit) A wok fried vermicelli dish I haven't had in over 30 years was requested and didn't think they'd make it. But...they DID. The owner said the chef was from HKG and could make anything I wanted . The flavors were so nostalgic. Not only did the owner and manager stop by to chat, but the customers sitting next to us joined in. Everyone was so nice and welcoming like the other Bostonians we encountered on our trip. Ngl, I considered moving here just for the food and atmosphere. Probably one of the best dim sums I've had in the States and probably in HKG. Everything was steamed to perfection. It's been weeks and I am still thinking about my meal here, wondering when I can fly back to Boston again. Hopefully sooner than later. Definitely be back be for another trip with my parents, esp after we raved about this place here Overall, 4.5
