Online ordering cost $1 but was pretty seamless. The entrees are mostly around $16 base (+tax and tip). The green curry tasted good, but storing the rice with the curry in the takeout bowl meant it was totally soggy. The drunken noodle and pad thai were fine, but not special. The standard spicy level is pretty mild. Serving size is what you'd expect, in the standard black takeout containers. Overall, a great location to grab something on your way home from the T. read more

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. 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

Tiny seating area close together was packed on a Tuesday night ...but good food in a filling portion. Had the dry braised beef and noodles. It was tender and had a few pieces of choy. My friend had the khao soi chicken which looked great. He really enjoyed the broth. It's right around the corner from jp licks and the Somerville theater. read more

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 read more

Prik Nam Pla - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

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 read more

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 read more

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. read more

Prik Nam Pla - Red curry with tofu lunch special with gyoza / Dec. 2023 - Thai Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

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. read more

Such a cute ambiance despite having limited seating - it set a delightful tone. Overall, the food was pretty good, and the service was quick and efficient. The Thai tea leaned towards the sweeter side. The Golden Bag featured a crispy egg sheet that was enjoyable. Otherwise, this appetizer wasn't exciting. The Khao Soi Chicken had a creamy consistency, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The soup base had a subtle kick, which I appreciated. The Khao Soi Nua was decent. It resembled typical Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, so I'm not entirely sure if that's what was to be expected. My favorite dish was the Drunken Noodles with Shrimp. It had a satisfying level of spiciness. The shrimp were large and flavorful. read more

I prepare Pad See Ew all the time at home. I wish I could make it as well as this restaurant. I've been to four different Thai places and have had Pad See Ew at each location, and this place is the champion. read more

Delicious food, great service, reasonably priced, highly recommend. Nice addition to Davis Square.

The food was very tasty. Service was good. Parking in the area is terrible, at least for a visitor. There may be insider local knowledge to make it easier. read more

This tiny Thai spot in Davis offers dine-in for groups of 1-4 (at the very most) and runs a very busy takeout counter. It's a solid option for lunch or dinner if you're in the area. Service is fast and polite and prices are similar for Cambridge/Boston. The lunch special (Tue-Friday from 1130am-3pm) is a particularly good deal, offering a choice of 8 different entrees with a side (gyoza, chive cake, or crab rangoon), for $13. I found it pretty filling for one person and took home part of my entree. We've sampled a few of their dishes, and particularly like the "veggie dumpling" appetizer (it's a fried chive cake with a mochi-like consistency, absolutely delicious), the kapow (quite spicy, but so flavorful), and the pad thai (standard American styled pad thai). Would return to try more items. read more

The food is amazing, so flavorful and comforting!! The server/owner is so sweet and always checks in. Such a cute and cozy ambiance I have gone 3 times in one week!! read more

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 read more

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! read more

Prik Nam Pla is a welcome and new addition to the already great lineup in Davis Square. While it is not without competition, the menu is slightly different and feels more like a takeout-style restaurant than a sit and eat due to the limited space (there are tables and seats should you want to dine in). The food is very well done, not greasy or laden with oil as some Thai restaurants can be. It is also VERY reasonably priced. We got 2 entrees, an appetizer, and with tax and tip it was in the low-to-mid $40s. The workers were pleasant and the food was on time for pickup, which has not always been the case in recent takeout memories... so they seem to have everything figured out and won't leave you waiting for your order for too long. I think trying some of the new/different dishes will be interesting as they have different menu items than the other Thai restaurants in the area. They are a pleasant addition to an already great lineup in Davis Square. They also bring a different vibe and unique options at really reasonable prices and know how to keep the food tasty, well-seasoned (and spicy!), and do it all with a smile on their face. Highly recommend if you like Thai or just want a good, flavorful meal without breaking the bank. 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

I had seen a video of someone eating Khao Soi in Thailand. The next day I walked by this place and the owner handed me a menu. Turns out this soup with soft and crispy noodles is their speciality and it was beyond delicious. Will definitely be back and everyone was friendly and service was great as well. read more

Great spot for take out! It's a very small space that can probably only fit a couple people in front of the window so would not go here with a big group for dine in. I would recommend their lunch specials. I ordered a Pad Thai with Cheese Wonton. 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.

A new to me Thai food shop in Davis Square. Since I don't live nearby I decided to give them a try via delivery. I ordered the Khao Moo Tod which is ginger rice with crispy pork and comes with a sweet and sour sauce. Everything came fresh and the crispy pork was delicious. Definitely plan on trying out more of their dishes in the future. read more

Rude staff and terrible food! I ordered the crispy pork noodle and it had little pork and low quality meat ( majority of the meat is fat which makes it too greasy). The noodle was really greasy and hard to swallow. The water they served me has some black substance(maybe dust?). I had a horrible experience and didn't want to tip much bc all the server did was gave me some water and the food. The server told me "not to come again if I don't tip enough" and tried to force to make me pay. Jeeze? When did tipping become mandatory?? I had little service and terrible food. Don't come here it's a total waste of money. It's gross behavior to try to beg ppl money that you don't deserve. read more

Small place centered on takeout. That is fine, except the prices left me hoping for silverware and ambience if dining in. I was surprised when my $18 soup was served in a plastic container, sans chopsticks, with plastic cutlery. It wasn't any kind of biodegradable eco-tainer either- just a regular plastic 6. Given that there already is a competing neighborhood Thai spot that's got its takeout system working like a well-oiled machine, I couldn't justify the packaging waste relative to price and taste here. The khao soi was missing a sweet note of any kind. But since they don't have the customary set of spices/condiments at the table, I couldn't adjust the flavors. read more
