    I stopped by Thai Cafe on my way back to Boston from Monadnock. Thai Cafe is located in a cute little downtown area, with some other restaurants and shops nearby. It's a pretty casual spot with counter service. The staff was really friendly and chatted with us about things to do in the area. The decor seemed pretty random, with various memorabilia hanging on the walls. For the food, I was really impressed with the Peanut Noodle. The curry had a unique, rich flavor with plenty of noodles and protein. I wasn't a huge fan of the Drunken Noodle, as the noodles themselves seemed to be some kind of egg noodle, not the traditional rice noodle. It did have lots of vegetables, but it didn't really satisfy my Drunken Noodle craving. I definitely prefer other spots in the Boston area, but considering the Thai options were more limited in the area, this was a decent enough option.

    I've been multiple times now and the food is always amazing. I have many vegan options and my husband is always happy with what he gets too. Crisp veggies, perfectly fried tofu, and incredible flavors. The service is always friendly and helpful and it's a cozy, relaxed hole-in-the-wall eatery. You won't be disappointed.

    I've been wanting to stop in and try the food here for quite some time and today I finally got a chance. Mom and I were out together and popped in to sample the menu. This is a very casual spot where you order your food and find a table. You get your own utensils and napkins and when you've finished eating you clean up your mess. But don't expect bland cafeteria style food here. This place is amazing! Mom and I both ordered the drunken noodles. I had mine with chicken and mom had hers with veggies. I had already started to eat when I remembered to take a picture. I also ordered spring rolls (you get two) and chicken satay (also two) for us to share. We both decided to have hot tea as well. The spring rolls were crispy and flavorful, the satay tasted like it had been cooked on an outdoor grill, and the tea was perfect! The drunken noodles we're cooked perfectly with small pieces of chicken all through. The spiciness was just right, although I admit I love spicy food so if you don't you may want to ask for a less spicy version. Everything is served on real plates, not paper or plastic. The young woman who took our order was extremely kind and helpful. She filled our tea cups and gave us to go covers as we left. I can't wait to go back and try something else!

    Very good. We ordered the pad thai, fried rice, spring rolls, and shrimp shu mai. The pad thai was good, and the spring rolls and fried rice were excellent. The shu mai was a little unusual but I'd never tried shu mai before so maybe that was to be expected. The atmosphere is pretty basic but the service is excellent and overall we had a good experience.

Seems mostly Thai (noodles) and Japanese (ramen), but some Chinese as well, with blurring involved on some of the dishes. Smack Bun: Basically an Asian take on a pulled pork sandwich. Cha-shu pork in a soft bao bun with crunchy vegetables and okonomi sauce very similar to a tangy sweet barbecue sauce. Nice that you can order them individually instead of committing to a set of three or so. Crispy Brussels Sprouts: A small serving with small pieces, lots of batter per piece and fried garlic integrated, but very light and brittle, so not too heavy. Good flavor, aided by the ginger sauce. Just not much sprout here. Crazy Noodle: Very soft flat rice noodles with an assortment of vegetables led by carrot and broccoli, tossed with protein of choice (I went chicken) in a spicy basil sauce that had some light sweetness for balance. Very enjoyable. Promising first visit. Hoping to try more menu items from the different categories to find their strengths.

I got the spicy red tonkotsu…read more(forgot to get a picture), along with some "Smack Buns" (chashu pork in a fluffy bun w/ okonomi sauce). Everything was great. The ramen really hit the spot, and I honestly wanted to order another round of smack buns but had to control myself. Our waitress was very nice and attentive while we were there, and although the place is fairly small, we had plenty of room (there were 3 of us). Overall, I will definitely be making a return visit!

    The food was fresh and well prepared but the "spicy" dishes (Spicy Dumplings with peanut sauce &…read moresome Thai Fusion Chicken with Basil & Pineapple) were extremely bland and flavorless. My dining companion got the Sushi appetizer and said it was decent. The vegetable tempura was very good, crisp and not at all greasy. The atmosphere is gray and dismal and there was a couple nearby who was bickering loudly the entire time which was distracting. The building has seen much better days. The service was great. They are doing the best they can but the place has a definite post-covid sadness mood so we wouldn't eat in, we would get takeout (maybe) in the future but I'm not sure we would bother going there again .

Soups were really delicious when we were here and the fried rice tasted soft and light just like I love it. Still hard to find a healthy option that also tastes good other than sushi and most of the rolls include shell fish making me hesistant to order. For a Chinese food place the ambience seems to be a cross between industrial, water scape and some Asian decore. The service is very on top of things and for the most part very attentive.

Now it is one of those downtown Concord places I circle back to whenever I am craving something brothy and comforting that still has some personality. Most visits revolve around noodle soups, and I have worked my way through a good chunk of the menu. The spicy miso ramen has a deep heat that builds instead of hitting you all at once, and the shoyu ramen is clean and savory in a way that makes you keep sipping the broth even when you are full. The Bubba pho and veggie pho are both solid, generous bowls, and the Korean noodle soup that started as a special clearly earned its permanent spot. Even the Japanese curry soup, which I expected to be heavier, if I had to nitpick I wish it had more curry flavor. My favorite order though is the spicy tantan, with a tweak. Sub the ground chicken for the soy glazed chicken. It adds texture and a little sweetness that really works with the spice. Service is friendly without hovering, and the pacing is usually spot on even when they are busy. The space itself is small, but I rarely struggle to get a table, and the bar seating is a nice option if you are solo. Portions are filling, prices feel fair, and I always leave thinking about what I will order next time.

    The other day, I finished trying all of the phở places I could find in Fitchburg and Leominster,…read moreand a majority of places in Worcester. I felt that it was appropriate for me to come back here and see if my (and my wife's!!) opinions on phở have changed in the past year. I actually live down the street from this place, and despite being in very close proximity I've only been here... 4 times? Located in a small strip mall right next to the N Main Street, Leominster Dunkin' Donuts, this place has been a solid fixture that I've passed by nearly every day since I could even remember anything. Google AI Overview tells me they've been open since 1998. With that said, the parking is a pain since it requires diagonal parking and little room for error when backing out. It's a shared lot between a few other businesses too, so I don't really understand how they can manage on busy days. I've only come here for dinner and the place has a nice, very dim atmosphere. This seems exactly the kind of spot to bring your partner out for a quiet dinner; I don't think I heard anyone else around us talking lol. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive but I can't help but feel disappointed that no one speaks Vietnamese; they said they were all Hmong. Anyways... Sparkling Salty Plum Drink ; this drink is always delicious in every place and this quality matches all others. and I'm always left wanting more. recommended. Gỏi Cuốn ; Vietnamese salad (or fresh) rolls. I order this at every restaurant that serves it. I have to be candid here - this is the worst one I've had out of the dozens of Asian restaurants I've eaten in. These rolls were mostly lettuce, so the crispy and watery texture is all you can taste and feel. The peanut sauce was also the most flavorless I've tried as well. For the first time ever my wife had to scoop a decent amount onto her roll just to taste something - she always dunks the teeniest tiniest corner at other places. Do. Not. Recommend. Phở Bò Viên ; this was the first phở spot I brought my wife and both of us agreed... we did not like the phở here. Have our opinions changed? Not really. The broth is very light with a delicate beef flavor. I could see myself enjoying this in the spring time if I was looking for a light lunch. As I got further in the bowl the tangy and oniony flavor really comes out and I'm left finding it unpleasant. Upon first taste before I dug in, my wife still found the broth too sour. This place also has the samn damn problem as many others: the noodles are TOO narrow and slippery and they rob most of the volume of the bowl. And you better eat it fast before it's too soggy. The meatballs here were way tougher than other phở places. Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang ; this was my wife's choice and off the bat she said this bowl is too sweet. That's actually crazy since she finds most places to be too salty and too sour. I took a sip of it and had to agree. The broth is light but has a strong seafood-forward and sweet taste. She managed to eat all of it, but she really had to alter the bowl with lime juice and Sriracha to make it palatable. Overall, we didn't particular like our last visit, and our minds haven't really changed after giving it another shot. Maybe I'll come back some other time to try the rice dishes.

    The pho here tastes authentic and satisfies our cravings. The summer rolls have a tiny amount of…read moreshrimp in them and the last time we came, the shrimp did not taste very fresh. The hot spring rolls with pork/crab are great and come out piping hot. The quality of the meat in the beef pho is adequate, and the broth is nice and rich. I wish they had tendon in the beef pho, not sure if that's an option here. Service is friendly, and food usually comes out pretty quickly. This is probably the closest pho place to us and we will come back.
