    Food was fresh and tasty. Got the Papaya Salad as an appetizer, but it was big enough for a meal. Wonderful presentation! Also got the Penang Curry with Chicken. *Plenty* of fresh perfectly-cooked pieces of chicken. It was enough food for two! The only reason I didn't give the restaurant 5 stars is because the ambiance is a bit cold. It's small. No bar area. Looks a bit like your local typical pizza joint inside.

    Food options for vegans were great, not a lot of restaurants offer that! Everything was fresh and delicious. Will definitely come back!

    My tom kha soup was great but the side of noodles was hairy. First time here so I'm not sure if hair comes with every noodle dish

    I had high expectations. Service was great, that I can say. Welcoming, polite, etc. But the food itself was 'ok'. Ordered the 'golden triangles' as appetizers, hoping to get something like we had at "Thai Choice" in Gloucester. Well, not even close. The golden triangles from Origin were underwhelming. More like those frozen pizza bites you can buy at BJ's. Not worth $5.95, that's for sure.... Plus, it probably came from an Indian store. Tasted like Indian food. Larb with Chicken was delicious. But they don't serve sticky rice?? Well, we didn't see it on the menu. So... Both my niece and I ordered spicy drunken noodles. Hers with seafood ($6 extra) and mine with tofu.... I didn't like it that much. Too much vegetables for my taste and not a whole lot of noodles.... Huge pepper chunks, and some sort of green beans (or something. I don't like those. Rarely do I see drunken noodles with those green beans). Anyway. It was good, but not 'that' good. My niece didn't even want to bring the leftovers home, so that kinda tells a lot. But, on the positive side, the spiciness level was spot on! No need to add any additional hot peppers. Parking is really sketchy... Yes, there's a private parking lot, but it's shared with 5-6 businesses. It was full when we drove in, and full when we left.... so.... Space is tight, people drive like idiots. Don't bring a long pickup truck there, I can tell you that. Good yes, but not good enough to go back. Plenty of better options.

    Since this is a Thai place, I never even thought they'd have Pho on the menu. If you enjoy, Wings, Pho, Noodles, Rice, or Crab Rangoon you need this place in your life. The Pho and Chicken Wings are hands down the best I've ever had anywhere in the world. I wish I could explain the depth of flavor that was in the broth. It was incredible. The wings are a miracle too. I have no clue how they keep them so crunchy and covered in that sweet and salty sauce but it was perfect. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is super friendly. I'm lucky enough to have this place less than a mile from my house but I'd drive an hour if I had to.

    Bland, two ingredient Pad Thai that ended up in the trash.

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

I'm not sure how I feel about paying $19 for this dish lol it was a good portion but a little hefty. The wings were good but I still prefer Simply Khmer. My wife had pad thai and requested it to be extra spicy. In our experience at other restaurants, when you ask for spicy, it's never spicy. Lanxang does it spicy and we quickly figure that out lol it still packed a good punch of flavor! Overall, I would come back to try their other dishes. I want to try their papaya salad and boat noodle soup. Will definitely come back!

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.
