We ordered a delicious meal through UberEats to be delivered to us while our child was admitted overnight at Boston Children's hospital. It was a quick delivery and piping hot on arrival. After a stressful day, their Pad Thai was just what the doctor ordered!!! Delectable, huge portions, special instructions were followed to a tee. 1000% recommend! read more

Very authentic Thai food! 10/10! Sai oua sausage was mind blowing. Highly recommend Tom yum and coconut soup.

Generally great food. A little inconsistent as of late (summer, 2023). Some of the menu items lacked in flavor, but at least the pad see ew is always good. read more

I came back here today after few years and I am quite disappointed. PadThai cafe was used to be my Authentic Thai restaurant when I went to college in Boston. It is not the same, I hope the same owners are same . I ordered Pad See Ew and Tomyum soup. The noodles is sour and the soup is way too salty with 2 pieces of shrimps I will come back to try other plates later read more

Order just simply spring rolls (x2). Waited only to receive my two orders luke warm and cold. Guess it's because I should have been picking up an order as Uber or doordash delivery guy.Except I'm wearing scrubs, and I've been here before. I often place orders through Yelp because this area tends to act real racist and prejudice. I shouldn't have to heat up something that cost 15$ with tax. I'm willing to bet that not all customers have to sign a receipt. Anyway, guess I will be advising others whom they feel shouldn't e their business/customer to stay away. Mind you I live up the strest and walk by this place everyday for over two years. Really tells you about people , especially if you have been in the business before. read more

When I worked by pad Thai cafe it was my favorite lunch spot. After leaving Boston for California for 10 years and returning , it's the best tasting Thai in Boston and Northern California. My go tos are pad Thai / chicken and pad see ewe with beef. So glad it's kept so sister after all these years! Thank you! read more

This Cafe is in a new location not too far from the the Boylston Street location. This Cafe is definitely smaller than the original one. The food seems to be the same but I did order the chicken satay which did not have any marination. What a disappointment. It came with a side of peanut sauce which was good. The Phad see you and the panang curry were delicious. I will continue to try it some other dishes and hopefully none of the other Thai Dishes are drastically changed. read more

This place has LEGIT Thai food at great prices. I always go for the pad thai (obviously) and it's absolutely delicious. Great portions too, fast, nice service. Small-ish, very casual (dare I say hole in the wall?) establishment. read more

Fast, no-fuss option for Thai fixes that will always come in handy. This is not a place where you're expecting to be greeted by a maitre'd, being escorted to your seat and have waiters fill up your glass with water whenever it's down by a few sips. Pad Thai Cafe delivers great Thai options, in abundant portions, great flavor and value. Go for their famous Ba Mee Song Krang for a taste of one of South East Asia's beloved street food - it's a bowl of dry cooked noodles with lots of yummy goodness (chicken, pork, meatballs, and sweet/salty sauce) that will leave you craving for more. read more

Another gem in this area jam packed with them. Food was delicious, see the pics. Chicken Satay not shown was hearty and while we were there, place was packed and had non stop pick up orders. Service with a smile and clean bathroom. A good alternative to Pho Basil should that be your first choice and it's too packed. I compare everything to Pho B cuz to me they're the best; but Pad Thai cafe might argue otherwise, and I wouldn't argue that point either. Pad Thai seems to be more "Thai" if you want that authentic taste and don't care about serving size as much (they serve enough, but not like Pho B, so no leftovers here unless you order an extra dish) Good spot to save a few dollars as it's self seating and you put the utensils and plates in a tray when you're done (although still nice to tip a few bucks in the tip jar as courtesy, but you certainly don't have to if you're on a tight budget) I cannot wait to go back! read more

Spent $40 on food last night for me and a friend. Got all the way back home to realize they forgot the rice for my massaman curry. So I basically ate soup. Double check your order before you leave if you're doing carry out. read more

Affordable, delicious thai food, highly recommend to anyone wanting takeout in the area!

I went here for dinner today with a couple friends. This cafe sells all sorts of Thai dishes and seems to be a popular destination for local students. I got the Indonesian Fried Rice, which was a very large amount of decent quality food for a relatively low price. The crispy chicken was very good, though the fried rice was a little on the greasy side. I also got a Thai Iced Tea; it was a bit on the sweeter side, but I could still taste the tea, so I thought it was pretty good. Note: As it is a cafe you need to claim a table for yourself. Seating can be a little cramped as the place is a bit small, especially during dinner rush. I managed to get seating for 3 people fairly easily during Friday dinner though, so it probably isn't usually an issue. read more

No matter how many times I repeat a modification on my order in person, they'll get it wrong, so I'm done with this place. Tonight there I went in person and I ordered something but I said "only vegetables no tofu" about 3 times. Of course it came with tofu and I said something and she didn't even understand, and just said, "Yes, tofu with vegetables." I tried to explain it to her again and she just repeated herself. I said it again. She said something to the kitchen team where it was headed back and I proceeded to watch one of the cooks pick out my tofu with his fingers, not replace it with any additional veggies, put the lid back on, and hand it back to the cashier to give to me. Um, no. Asked for a refund for that and the app I ordered. Then it became this huge saga and the entire kitchen was probably talking smack about me cause they all were looking at me and talking. Rude af. Done with this nonsense. The prices used to be priced as a "value" and lower than competition (because it's not nearly as nice a place) but now it's the same price as Thaitation and nice places, except it's not nice at all read more

I ordered delivery so can't comment on dine-in. I had the duck pad thai which I would say was pretty average. At least you get a large serving for the price. I would have preferred if I had more duck meat since it was mostly soggy duck skin. Overall, it satisfies a pad thai craving but there are better options in Boston. read more

Food was pretty yummy and definitely spicy enough =] ordered the beef basil fried rice- costs extra. I didn't know the beef was grounded too- would have been better if it was sliced instead. read more

I used to buy food here before, but the last two times that I had been here, the service has been really bad. Today, 10/01/2022, I walked in to place an order and the employees just stood there and stared at me, didnt say a word and no one came and took my order. I took a menu, sat down, and watched as emplpyees walked around and just completely ignored me, so I left and took my money somewhere else. It seems like they are selective with who they want to serve whether you are a paying customer or not. Disgusting. read more

The food in soooo good! I would literally eat there everyday. The people that work there are extremely nice and provide really good service. Highly recommend! read more

PadThai Cafe - Crispy Chicken Sticky Rice - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Pad Thai cafe is so much better than Rod Dee in my opinion. The panang curry is really great, the fried rice is good, the pad thai looks good but I've never had it. The thai noodle soup isn't great, but everything else I've ever had there is really good. They make the food quickly, but it always is fresh. I like things fairly spicy and I do medium here--if you're afraid of a little heat, definitely stick to mild! This is a fast favorite of mine, and I am a regular already :) read more

In Boston for College. There are a two Thai joints that I frequent; Pad-Thai Cafe is one of them. Authentic, no frills, and delicious. They have a very extensive menu and not all the options are 5 star worthy, but all locals know that the Ba Mee Song Kraung is one of the best items on the menu. For all the non-Thai's out there, this roughly translates to Egg Noodle With the Works. It is a Egg noodle dish topped with roast pork, fish ball, crispy wonton, Chinese broccoli and bean spouts. It is zesty-spicy-savory! This is the second iteration of the original Pad Thai Cafe, but it tastes just as good! read more

This is Probably The Best Asain Food We Have Ever Had! Ordered Uber Eats On Vacation in Boston and The Flavors are Unbelievable! Nice Portions, Very Affordable and Really Delicious! We Wish We Had One Closer To Home Because We Would Be There a Few Times a Week if We Did! Would Give 6/5 Stars if I Could, This is a Serious Hidden Gem! Must Try is The "Indonesian Fried Rice" & "Pad See Ew" read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Boston! This restaurant has the best and authentic Thai food with a reasonable price and generous portion! It is also super authentic and actually owned by Thai people! The set up of this restaurant is you go in and order your food at the cash register. You find your table and wait for your food to be called! You can pick up your own utensils on the side. This is how they keep everything at a reasonable price. This minimizes the workers and service! Everything on the menu is delicious. I have tried the papaya salad, tom yum soup, tom yum noodle soup, basil fried rice, pad see ew and pad thai. These are all my fav! You can't go wrong with ordering anything on the menu! You can also order online through the Yelp app so it is super convenient for dine in or take out! read more

Absolutely fantastic food and great prices!! We ordered off of uber eats, which didn't take long to wait as well that was a plus. We ordered the Indonesian fried rice, soup (can't remember the name unfortunately), and pad see ew which were all delicious. We enjoyed it so much we ordered several more times, same food, and we're just as delicious and same portion sizes. We will make sure and return every time we go to Boston! read more

Minimal ambiance but offers some of the best Thai food in Boston. Very moderately priced. Large menu caters to Asian students.

Our typical spot was closed so after reading the recent article in Boston magazine how this was named a top spot in Boston we figured why not! Ordered pad see ew with beef, chicken satay and pad Thai chicken and shrimp. The pad Thai was the show stopper! My favorite part of the pad see ew was that it was made with Chinese broccoli and not American broccoli. And honestly I would skip the satay because the two noodle dishes were far better and serving size was enough!! Highly recommend this place and I will have to include it as part of my rotation. Only regret is not taking pictures to share with all! read more

They're baaack! I got the Pad See You with chicken, it was nothing memorable tbh. It didn't taste bad.. just average. Cheap and I had leftovers so that was good. Portions were inconsistent. Some were huge, others were not. Place was clean (way cleaner and nicer than the old PTC). Place was pretty busy and popular with college kids. Turn around is quick. Clean up after yourselves after your meal! Overall, there are other Thai places in the area I prefer over PTC. This return trip just didn't wow me. read more

I first went here after my NYC trip with my GF. She is Thai and she introduced me to this Thai restaurant. "This is the best Thai restaurant" is what she said. They have 2 menus. 1 for Thai and 1 for English. IMO, their best dish is Yum Mama & Kow Nah Ped. It was so delicious I had to come back! Idk why anybody would go any lower than 4 star review. The food came out quickly. The only thing is it's hard to find parking. I highly recommend this place if you like Thai food. read more

One of the best pad thais i have ever had! great bang for your buck!!!! great delivery service!

Doesn't look like much when you walk by and even when you walk in, but I am really glad I came here with some friends! They have a menu written in Thai. We had our native Thai friend order and I ended up trying a ton of things that I've never even heard of before! 1. Olive fried rice with minced pork - so delicious and savory 2. Sautéed bamboo pork - also very flavorful. This dish was a bit oily but in a good way 3. Boat noodle soup w pork blood and pork balls (?) - yum, with a tangy soup 4. Kang som Cha-om tod with shrimp. It's basically a veggie omelette pan fried and then put into a tangy (tamarind?) soup. Came with boiled shrimp. Delicious. Will definitely order this again. A plate of rice cost extra. There is free cold water, and also some canned drinks available (like tamarind, grass jelly, coconut, etc) and Thai iced tea. There's a bathroom (private room) available for customers. The waitstaff were very kind and didn't push us out even though we stayed and hung out for a while. $60 for all these dishes together. read more

Food was quick and good; portion sizes were big. Prices are reasonable. Customer service and manners could use a huge improvement. 3.5 stars. read more

I went here pre-covid but am still thinking of their drunken noodles today, which prompted this review! I asked for vegetarian drunken noodles (which I've found is always a hit or miss - some places will omit the oyster and fish sauce and hand you essentially plain rice noodles, and some actually put effort into replicating the dish as closely as they can). Pad Thai Cafe's were amazing. Perfectly savory and spicy, and the fried tofu was soft on the inside and delicious. I wish I could've taken their bottles of spicy sauce home (not sure what it was, but please try if you go - orange bottles near the water dispenser). I love this place. read more
