THIS WAS SO GOOD! Came here with my friend for dinner on Wednesday and it was busy! It's a cute small place in Davis - the food was delicious! I got the drunken noodles and seriously some of the best I've had - smoky spicy and yummy
Tried the Kapow and subbed sticky rice for the jasmine. It was decent, Great heat level, pretty good flavor. They seem to use thigh meat rather than breast so it has that dark meat flavor which is not my favorite. The portion size also was not very big.
Tiny, charming, little shop in the heart of Davis square. We came in on a Friday evening without having to wait. It was quite cold outside at the time and space is limited and we naively took the big table by the door. Which doesn't close all the way on its own. Oof. The lady there was kind enough to close it shut when folks came in and out but there was only one of her to do everything. We ordered golden bags, a pork belly over rice dish and a crispy chicken pad Thai. The taste was very on point for each of them, the golden bags were fried with fresh oil, you could tell, and a small bite carries a ton of flavor. The pork over rice was to die for. The flavors in this were some of the best Thai I've ever had. Bit of tangy, lots of basil, and plenty of kick, I'll be dreaming of this one for awhile. The chicken pad Thai was great, but nothing too outstanding. This place is at most a 4, I've had better Thai food nearby (Rod Dee anyone?) for half the price. Don't get me wrong this place is delicious, but not 20$/dish delicious. tldr; small cute place that has overpriced but delicious Thai food
I love my thai food, and Prik Nam Pla is one of my favorite thai spots for their flavor variety, spice, and presentation Prik Nam Pla recently just opened in Somerville, MA right next to Davis Square so this is definitely a spot to try if you're looking for a new thai food spot in Boston‼ They recently expanded their menu and we got to try their ginger rice with deep fried pork. When I tell you this ginger rice is the best I've ever had you really just need to try it for yourself! I'm definitely going back to try their ginger rice dish with chicken next time
This tasted great and perfect for a cold day. While the place itself is tiny, the service was quick and kind. While it was a little pricey for a bowl, it hit all the right spots
This was my first time at Prik Nam Pla. The nearby shops shuffled quite a bit during the pandemic but I'm glad to see there's another little Thai place here after Kor Tor Mor closed. I stopped in for a quick lunch. It's a cute place with a few small tables and one that will fit a party of four -- but don't come with a crowd. Service is quick and friendly. I got one of the $13 lunch specials, tofu red curry with gyoza (knowingly not gluten free). It came in a industrial lunch platter that was a nice presentation even if the portions were smaller. The curry had a decent amount of tofu and some other veggies, although I wish there was more. It was flavorful and spicy for someone who can tolerate a mild amount but who doesn't eat a lot of spice (for comparison it seems hotter than Cha Yen in Watertown, another more authentic Thai place). The gyoza was deep fried and fine. I would come again to try something else if u needed a quick hot lunch in Davis. But if you want to be full, get a full sized portion.
Ordered the pad thai. Food was fantastic, servers were friendly. Small but cozy restaurant.
Little Thai joint at the edge of Davis Square towards the Tufts side, in the space previously occupied by Kor Tor Mor. A couple tables and a counter with stools. Mostly takeout but they do table service, with very minimal service (you'll need to ask for anything you need; they won't ask). Spicy Wings: Crunchy, moist but not fully juicy, just spicy enough, and more sweet than spicy. Temperature-wise, the hottest wings I've ever had: even after a few minutes of photo taking and taking the time to eat all six wings singlehandedly, still piping hot and painful to hold. Nice balance of flavors, though mostly sweet chili. Based on flavor and texture, a solid effort. Chicken Kapow: My barometer dish for Thai food cleared the hurdles flavorwise, with a good blend of dark flavors (oyster sauce and such), herbal flavors (basil), heat (chiles), and accompanying vegetables (string bean). Volumewise, a little light, with most of the bowl being the white rice. Not a huge deal, but noticeable. Pad Thai: My wife got this with tofu. Wet and sweet. If you like your Pad Thai wet and sweet, this is for you. If not, it's not. Definitely enough promise to go back, looking to try the Khao Soi, which they bill as their signature item. Glad to have this place around, especially with DakZen changing up their service model. Hoping to up this to 4 stars on the next visit.
I went to Prik Nam Pla next to Davis in Somerville on 24 College Ave, Somerville, MA 02144 Prik Nam Pla is an essential table condiment in a Thai eatery. In many thaidishes they often pour a small amount over dishes such as fried rice, noodles, or curry to enhance the flavor of the dish. And boy oh boy did it really enhance the flavors of the dishes we had! For drinks we had a classic thai iced tea which was the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing. For appetizers we had the pork gyoza, shrimp tempura and golden bag. I personally never had a golden bag before! These were filled with chicken, sweet corn, and scallion. They became my personal favorite of the three. For entrees we had the khao soi kai (chicken) which was served with crispy yellow noodles, red onion, cabbage, scallions and lime. We also had kapow shrimp with vegetables Finally, for dessert we had mango sticky rice. The mango was fresh and blended well with the sweet sticky rice. I recommend ordering takeout here if you are in the mood for thai food and live in the Somerville, Medford, Arlington, or Cambridge area! Food: 8/10 Affordability: 8/10
Stopped in for a quick lunch. Sat at a sunny window table. The kapow was spicy and flavorful, crispy lightly cooked vegetables. Enough for leftovers the next day. Coconut juice with slices of young coconut meat. Sweet & refreshing on a hot summer day. Highly recommend!
This is a solid neighborhood Thai food spot right off of Davis square. We came here for dinner on a Friday night and were seated with no wait. The indoor seating area was cozy and clean and the service was friendly and fast. We got the crispy pork Khao Soi Moo Tod and the teriyaki shrimp and both came out quickly and were tasty. It was the slightest bit more expensive for the portion size and less strong in flavors than other similar spots I've been to, but still good! I'd come back again if I was in the area and craving Thai food. read more

Came during the week with a friend, and was able to grab a table. The staff was very friendly and attentive the whole time! I got their lunch special with the pad see yew and crispy pork, with a side of crab rangoon. Everything was very fresh and delicious, though a little bland for me. It's a small restaurant but nice for a casual meal. read more

Prik Nam Pla used to be Kor Tor Mor which I was a fan of. They've rebranded and updated their menu and I'm excited they've reopened! The interior is small but looks great. I ordered the chicken kapow and it was delicious!! Pretty good medium spice and super flavorful. I also ordered the gyoza which are fried and they were pretty tasty. The staff was incredibly polite and my take out order was ready super fast! I'll definitely be trying more off the menu but if it's the same people behind Kor Tor Mor, I know it'll be delicious Thai food! My only knock is that they are a little pricier but I think they are worth it! read more
Prik Nam Pla is a relatively new addition to Davis. I've been excited to try it with the different types of food they offer. We started with veggie dumplings which is one of my favorite Thai street food. These do not disappoint! Highly recommend trying them out. We also tried the golden bag, which I've never had before. I originally did not know how to eat them - if you open them or what? It turns out you just eat the whole thing, and it was delicious! Crispy on the outside, delicious on the inside. For my entree, I tried the Khao Na Kai which is essentially a chicken bown topped with gravy. It is a savory comfort meal, and an old fashioned Thai-Chinese dish that is popular in Bangkok. Definitely suits a day where you just want to unwind, relax, and eat a meal that feels home-made. read more

Prik Nam Pla has easily been my go-to Thai place since moving to Boston since it's consistently delicious every time I go! I especially love the Khao Soi, which is unbelievably flavorful -- it's the perfect comfort food. All of the other food is great too, from the Drunken Noodles to the Veggie Dumplings. Plus, the food is always ready so quickly! If you're in the Somerville area, definitely give this place a try! read more

Ordered delivery and never disappoint. This place is a bomb! Just look at the photos, they're as amazing as they look. The beef stew is tender and rich, curry puff is crispy on the outer and soft inside. Khao soi Kai is the highlight, the broth is heaven like and might be the best I ever tasted around the area. The egg noodle is crispy and the ingredients is just the right amount for a quick lunch read more

I tried Khao Soi in many places. I can say Khao Soi at Prik Nam Pla is one of the very exceptional one. Khao Soi at Prik Nam Pla has their secret is a chef-secret. The Khao Soi came in chicken and Prik Nam Pla has many menus to try read more

First time ordering herez The food was very disappointing. The pad see ew was so fishy I couldn't eat it. The pad Thai was too saucy. The Khoa soi Kai Tod was also not bery good. The chicken wasn't crispy and the curry did not go well with the noodles. It was ready pretty quick for pick up. read more

The place is cute! We overall thought all the dishes were really well made and super tasty. Friendly staff too :) Just be mindful of the size of the place as it is bar seating and an extra seat of 4. But otherwise, I can see us getting take-out from this place again soon. read more

Disappointing in the extreme. Ordered the beef stew rice dish. There were maybe 5 small pieces of beef, mixed in with many mystery blobs of fat (see pics). Plenty of rice though. Scallion pankakes were fried batter only. read more
