This small, hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant is a favorite among BU students. The food is affordable, tasty, and quick to prepare with large portion sizes. One plate could be shared among two people. Don't go in expecting quality Thai food though; Nud Pob is rather a great choice for quick Thai takeout. I can see this hitting hard as late night food or food after a night out. Staff was also friendly.
Place is awesome. Delicious hot, fresh food, huge menu with something for everyone, homey interior with self serve water and lots of seating, super friendly staff, and food comes in seconds. Always recommend this place and they have plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I like everything there but I got the crispy chicken basil last time and it was fantastic, super juicy and crunchy but also covered in sauce with a massive portion
This place serves quick to go Thai food. If you are in the mood for different type of Thai dishes with affordable prices, this place is for you. The menu doesn't contain the dish description, so u need to ask the cashier what the dish contains. This place is a self-serve, you come up front to order and they will call your number for the food. The setup is similar to cafeteria. Personally, I always order Pad Thai when I try a new Thai spot, and I was not too impressed with the quality of the dish. The ingredients are somewhat not fresh when I tasted the meatball in the Boat Noodle. However, the cashier is very nice and friendly, and everyone here were enjoying their food! I think this place is like a place for the community to gather and get quick bites.
The Indonesian fried rice is a must!! The crispy pork is out of this world - super juicy and tender but very flavorful and crispy! It pairs very nicely with the slightly tangy soft fried rice. The Pad Kee Mao was also very homey - with each tofu bursting with flavor!
I love some Thai takeout food and Nud Pob lived up to expectations! I placed an order for a couple dishes and within just a few minutes, it was ready for me to pickup. My partner and I ordered pad thai with crispy chicken, pad kee mao with duck, and a thai iced tea. I was blown away by the pad thai - there were slightly less ingredients in this pad thai compared to what some other Thai restaurants serve, but the flavor was incredible. The crispy chicken was also a delicious touch and I love the sweet and sour sauce served with it. I wasn't blown away by the drunken noodles, but they were still tasty. They were a bit too ginger-y for my taste buds, but my partner really liked it. I was a big fan of their Thai iced tea though, it was not overly sweetened but the perfect palate cleanser between dishes. The portions here were very reasonable, especially considering the prices. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for some tasty takeout!
This is a solid, no frills place if you want some quick Thai food. There are plenty of solo diners, pairs, and families. The restaurant is located conveniently next to BU's campus, so expect to see a good number of students. I ordered the Star Noodle and enjoyed it. There's an intercom that announces your order number, and you have to get your own water and utensils. My food was ready in about 10 minutes, so the wait wasn't bad at all. If you're trying to limit talking to restaurant staff (and want a quick bite), come give this place a try!
Very very good! Located right on the Boston University campus, they have a huge menu of amazing food. I had the Mango Fried Rice with Tofu which was amazing, and some people in my party got the Chicken Pad Thai which was definitely the better order. The food also came out very quickly. I would definitely return here!
Amazing. I go here every week and it never disappoints. The drunken noodles are great and they give huge portions!! And the staff is very sweet.
So glad this place is back open again. It's a great campus eatery. I love how warm it is and the food is never disappointing. I usually always order the pad Thai or pineapple fried rice. The wait for food is usually 12-15 minutes at minimum.
I LOVE Nud pob. This Thai restaurant is conveniently located in BU central. It is family owned and all of the employees are really nice. Most of their customers are BU students. There's ample amount of seating, but they also offer take out. My go to is their tofu pad see ew. Portions are always generous, and costs about $12.50. They've got a ton of options on their menu, from curry dishes to squid prik pow. Definitely get their thai iced tea too - it's sooo good. Street parking is convenient right outside the restaurant. Overall rating: 10/10
for the price: stellar. a great cheap thai food spot on campus with plentiful portions. my recommendation is to always opt in for the crispy chicken which adds a delightful crunch to any hearty dish. the pad see ew is always a great go to and for me, the pad thai is a little bit overly sweet. did not like the mango sticky rice when I tried it. ambience and vibe inside is nothing flashy- you order at the counter and pick up food when ready. food usually does not take too long to get though. get the chaing mai curry noodle - fantastic soupy dish adn crispy wontons add a delightful texture. fried rice portions are always very large.
Ordered here twice. The place is often very crowded during lunch hours so decided to try. The first time, I ordered Pad Thai, which came out to be really bad. I ordered spicy but it didn't have much flavor and the ratio of noodles to other is not good. Perhaps it is not the Thai version so it was not as I expected. I ordered a more recommended dish, the pad kee mao/drunken noodles. This time, it tasted much better with a good ratio of meat, vegetables and noodles. The overall flavor is decent, the spice is combined well with the dish, and you do get a lot of food. Given its convenient location, I can see why people like it. However, compared to other Thai restaurants very closely near by, this place is not as good. The crispy chicken and the meat are not as juicy and it feels quite greasy. The spice also doesn't kick in as much. Overall a decent place to grab a quiet lunch.
Yes. I'm that person that asked what Nud Pob means. It means to ,,hang out" in Thai. If only I could I'd give them 10 stars - this is my hands down favorite Thai place in all of Boston. The food is authentic af and when I first ate the Thai food here, it felt like I was transported back to Thailand. Anyway. The portion size for the price?!? AMAZING. (I mean it's near BU so I guess they are feeding college kids...) Where can you get a thicc pad thai for $9.25?!! The pad thai? Sour. Spicy. Sweet. All the flavors are there. My BFs fave is the crispy basil chicken (which is P good too but I don't like crispy chicken lol). The red curry is also *chef's kiss*, but medium spicy wasn't spicy enough, even for me. The Thai tea isn't overwhelmingly sweet and is really balanced with the tea flavor. I miss dining in and seeing all the nice Thai aunties :(
Reviews are generally positive. People highlight the flavorful food, large portions, and friendly service. The menu offers options for various dietary needs.

WOW. This place is my all-time favorite Thai restaurant in the Boston area. I've had a few different things here that hit it out of the park every time, but the biggest reason to keep coming back here is that they have a dish I've never seen at any other Thai places: Ba Mee Song Kruang. I had never heard of this dish before but it quickly became a favorite in my household and we always order at least one order of it. Basically, it is described as "thin egg noodles with Thai style roast pork, fish balls, chinese broccoli, bean sprouts, and topped with crispy wonton." It is AMAZING. On top of what's listed, it comes with ground pork in the noodles and a sweet and savory sauce that perfectly coats the egg noodles. There are 3 different kinds of fish balls - a shrimp one, a whitefish one, and a fried one, as well as peanuts, deliciously juicy roast pork (char sew), and the crispy wontons add that perfect extra texture and crunch. Man, if I could eat this every week I would. Easily a 5/5 - this is the only place I've seen this dish and it is out of this world. The rest of the menu is also great, but you absolutely have to try the Ba Mee Song Kruang if you come here. read more
Very awesome and authentic Thai cuisine located in the BU neighborhood, they have great curries and also nice beverages like Thai iced teas and lychee sodas. Service is prompt and they call your number and the interior is fantastic. Was in BU for a WIPIP conference and got lunch with my Professor friend Dustin. Recommended! read more

The crab rangoon and pad thai is delicious! Portion sizes are great, and service is fast and organized. Everything that this place features is fantastic for college students. I always see this place on food delivery apps so I'm happy I got to try their food. I'll be coming back for sure to try their fried rice and thai tea! read more
Standardly good food. Huge portions. This is a good, college-campus-type resturant. Your late night cravings will undoubtedly be satisfied here. I'd be lying if I said you should expect exquisite flavors, but it definitely hits the spot. Open late. Yummy Asian food. Big portions for a dinner tomorrow....what more could a college student ask for? read more

I went to BU and I STILL come to Nud Pob 10+ years later. That's how good it is. Big portions, cheap prices, and delicious food! Can't ask for anything more. I usually order the Thai style Pad Thai with crispy chicken, Drunken Noodle, and Chiang Mai Curry Noodle. The Chiang Mai Curry is my favorite thing to order. It's HUGE. Always two meals for me and it's super delicious. The noodle dishes are great as well and I can usually get 1.5 portions out of it depending on how hungry I am. The service is quick and the food is always piping hot. I always get extra chili and love that they have it sitting in the self service area so you can have as much as you want! read more
Yo Boston has SO many thai restaurants - its redonk. I've had so many iterations of thai food in this city - some good, some meh, some hardly I would even call thai (hard pass). But I'm obsessed... LIKE absolutely obsessed with nud pob. It tastes like the street food I had in bangkok and chiang mai back in the day and it makes me so happy. I was told this place is super popular among BU students and I can see why - they're relatively affordable compared to other "fancier" thai restaurants in this city but their quality and the love that goes into the food blows me away. There is such a great combination between spciy, salty, savory, and sweet in all of the dishes here. Lay that fish sauce on me baby! I love how most of their dishes come with a fried or boiled egg (yay for extra protein!). My favorite thing here and I low key think I'm obsessed with it is the indonesian fried rice. It's SO savory and sweet/salty and brown in all the right places - also the fried egg on the top is absolutely *chefs kiss*. Their pad thai is hefty and not too sweet - it's not just noodle and has the perfect balance of egg, noodles, meat, and bean sprouts. The flavors in each of their entrees are so unique and different from other thai restaurants I have been to and I'm all for it. It's still takeout only during covid times so you'll have to order this as take out. Can't wait to try out the other items on their menu!! 10/10 for authenticity!! read more

Nudpob is my go to restaurant in the BU area for a satisfying, quick, and affordable meal. The food is very flavorful, incredibly quick (5-10 minutes), large portion sizes, and very affordable. The ambience is order at the front then pick up the food where they call out your number, then grab a table. It is no frills but great place for friends and also to go solo. Here are recommended dishes: 1. Pad Thai & Pad See You 2. Indonesian Fried Rice 3. Chang Mai Noodles 4. Bangkok Duck 5. Peanut Noodles 6. Yellow Curry read more

Seems like a very authentic place, has no prices. They're very good about allergens and food restrictions. The fried rices were overall very average and the basil fried rice is very spicy. Prices were very cheap, around $12 for a big bowl of fried rice. read more

Location was close to my hotel and had many positive reviews and they did not disappoint. The crab rangoons were super stuffed with crab goodness and came with a sweet chili oil dipping sauce. The medium spicy on the panang curry was perfect for my Midwest roots, but the spicy level on the basil fried rice gave me some heart burn (but it is totally worth how tasty that fried rice is.) I am glad I also ordered a chai iced tea to help tone down the heat. I think next time I will have to go mild on the fried rice, but I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Delicious, quick lunch near BU campus. $11.78 for a Pad See Ew, coming out to $12.5 pre tip. The staff is super understanding of allergies-- they readily accommodated the egg and fish sauce omissions to make the dish vegan. The flat noodles were a little short, which happens when you over boil them and they fall apart, but the flavors were good (not too salty) and there was a decent amount of veggies (though only three or four tofu cubes). There is no music playing, just people having conversations, so it's actually a nice place to study too. Decent number of tables, many people eating solo. I will definitely be back just out of location convenience, and I think most BU students can also vouch for Nud Pob as easy, yummy food on campus. read more

Affordable and great food. So far I've tried the pad Thai and pad see you and both dishes have been really great. Serving size is on the bigger side for me and so I usually have left overs to leave with. I've always found seating and staff here is nice. I appreciate the free tea you can grab while your there, I don't know what kind of tea it is but it's good. Overall, a really nice place to grab a quick and affordable meal. read more
One of the best Thai places in Boston for the variety and portions alone. Besides the "Americanized" versions of appetizers and main dishes, the restaurant also has a wide range of vegan, vegetarian, and authentic Thai dishes (seafood, spice level, etc.) Mostly known for their varieties of Pad Thai (personal favorites are Thai Style and Basil Pad Thai), each can be made with chicken, seafood, tofu, vegetables, beef, and 4 different "heat" levels. Pre-COVID, they infamously had a hand-written sign on the wall strongly suggesting that if you were getting the highest level spice of "Thai style" to simply eat it in the restaurant for maximum effect. All ingredients are really fresh, and the vegetables have a snap and crispness to them. If you ask for shrimp, you're getting SHRIMP. Not one small frozen one. A lot of the noodle and rice dishes are large enough to share between two people. Post-COVID, the restaurant is open for dining, and the space and bathrooms are extremely clean. Never had a bad meal here, and I always choose something different. read more
