    Really good dumplings
    Dan R.

    We had dinner for three delivered from Thai North on Saturday night. I sampled two of the dishes, plus my entrée. Here's the report card. The Steamed Pork Dumplings (Six for $5.95) were very good. The dough wasn't super thick like you see some times. They were good sized, moist and delicious. The Honey Sesame Chicken ($12.95 was 'Lightly battered chicken pieces fried until crispy, tossed in sauce put on top of crispy rice noodles and topped with sesame seed' was absolutely perfect -a great example of melt in your mouth perfection. It was by far the best item in our delivery bag. My entrée was from the menu's big curry section - a promising looking dish named Seafood Kang Som Curry - (Low calories without coconut milk) described as 'The famous Thai hot and sour kang som curry with napa cabbage, yu choy (an Asian green), turnip, and string beans. It can be ordered with steamed rice, brown rice, sticky rice or noodles. I went with the noodles. Honestly, I was disappointed with the curry. It was served in a one quart soup container because... well, it kind of was a soup. Look, I am a soup guy, I love soups and phos and chowders and bisques, well you get the idea. I have never seen a soup served in a restaurant that separated into two distinct layers like this one did. The top three fourths of the container held a thin but very flavorful broth. The bottom was like a thick muck of a paste that was quite unappetizing. I've never seen anything like this before in any restaurant soup bowl or take out container. In all fairness, the soup was loaded with vegetables, three shrimps, calamari and scallops. But once I finished off the broth and the seafood and the noodles, I left the rest of the mess in the bottom of the container. One more thing - the menu choice showed two hot peppers on the old spice meter, so I expected some kind of heat with the dish, but it delivered none. Maybe all the heat was in that nasty mess at the bottom of the container. Based on the reasonable pricing, the speed of delivery, the gargantuan menu, and the excellent Honey Sesame Chicken, I'll go with three stars. Had the soup/curry dish been better, it would be a clear 4 stars.

    Sticky Rice with Mango (Khao Neow Ma Muang)  and look at the carrot flower. It's the little touches.

    Came back to Thai North after many years away. Was excited to take friends here as whenever I'd visit in the past it was always amazing. Last night it was a disappointment. Perhaps an off night, but the food was incredibly bland. Zero spice. Not a lot of flavor. Even the atmosphere of the inside of the dine in area of the restaurant felt different to me. I hope it was just an off night, but it's possible the quality has dropped all around. I used to recommend this place to my Asian continent born friends living in Boston area and now don't feel like I can.

    Thai Sausage fried rice. If not for the egg would jave been totally devoid of taste that includes the sausage which added nothing.

    Some very tasty options here had tom sap soup here today and it was delicious although it wasn't lit from the bottom as I gad been told on a previous visit when I asked about it. Also tried the Wild Boar Basil dish which is very good indeed.

    Thai North 11/2014

    Thai North is a Thai restaurant in Oak Square, a short walk from the YMCA. Parking is street only - just read the signs and do not assume. It is a small spot with four seats set along the window counter; a table for 2, two for 4 (easily convertible for a party of 8), and one for 6. They take reservations and credit cards. I love the well labeled food photos decorating the wall to the right, the colorful bits of decorations, and the cute salt and pepper shakers set at each table. As a sizeable party, we tried a good number of dishes family style, requesting that they make it all either mild or not spicy, depending on the dish. TN1. Northern Bermese Curry Spicy $9.95 PORK Choice of pork or chicken, peanut, ginger, pineapple stew in home style Hung Ley broth with toss of cilantro and scallion. Oh so tender melty pig belly! My favorite dish! I even ate the fat and skin. And accompanied with a nice sauce to boot. TN13. Grilled Puerco $6.95 PORK Grilled marinated pork or chicken in skewer served with northern style chili dipping sauce. This arrived as five sticks flavored with a tasty marinade. TN16. Chainmai Noodle Curry $9.95 Egg noodle, simmered chicken dump stick, pickle green mustard, shredded red onion, scallion and cilantro in northern Thai style curry. If you're not crazy about the pickled vegetable in a curry sauce, take it out while it is decorating the top of the dish. There was plenty for us to each have a small sample bowlful. They couldn't make this completely not spicy, but I could handle this level of heat. TN5. Tomato Based Ground Meat Spicy $9.95 Ground pork, tomato, lemon grass, simmered in northern Thai style served with pork rind, boiled egg and steamed vegetable. Without the heat, this didn't stand out as anything special but rather was just ground pork plus tomato sauce. But the pork rind that came alongside was a treat. C6. Eggplant Basil $10.95 CHICKEN Chicken, beef, pork, tofu or vegetables. Stir fired with eggplant, basil leaves, mushroom, string bean, onion, scallion and bell pepper in basil sauce. Got our dose of vegetables from this dish, cooked up in a manner where they retained a decent bite. E8. Rainbow Paradise Spicy $9.95 -SHRIMP (+$1) Stir fried mango, pineapple, bamboo, mushroom, string bean, carrot, zucchini, baby corn, snow pea with sweet sour sauce. The heat level still retained was okay with me. There were maybe 5 shrimp on the plate. V1. Vegetable Pad Tai Vegetarian $9.95 Stir fried rice noodles with broccoli, carrot, cabbage, zucchini, eggs, bean sprouts and scallion topped with ground peanuts. Tasty, but too sweet for some of us. Some dishes came accompanied by an individual portion of your choice of white rice, brown rice, sticky rice, and steamed noodles. We tried all four, and I say, go for the sticky and the noodles! Mango Sticky Rice $6.00 The sliced mango was so prettily presented in a heart shape around the sticky rice. A tasty dessert despite the fruit being a bit under-ripe. Thai Custard (no pumpkin by request) $5.50? (since this was off-menu) I enjoyed the flavor and texture of this sweet very much. Green Tea Fried Ice Cream $4.50 This was good, and it was so nice of the staff at Thai North to send it out to us as a complete surprise after they had discerned that we were celebrating a birthday. I'd be quite happy to come back to enjoy a repeat of the two pork dishes (Northern Bermese Curry and Grilled Puerco) and the desserts, and to perhaps try their Chicken Paradise, Northern Pork Salad, and one of their duck entrees.

    Duck noodle soup
    Ming H.

    Thai North has a variety of foods on their menu that extends beyond Thai food - Chinese, Vietnamese, and just an eclectic mixture. The inside is plastered with pictures of their food and menu. There are maybe 4 or 5 tables, and it seems they mainly do a lot of take out orders. We dined on a Saturday evening, so they were busier and the inside was louder due to the amount of people and small size. I tried the duck noodle soup, which was overall just okay. The broth would have been perfect, but it was sweet, which I'm not a fan. They give you a good amount of duck, and I liked there were no bones on any of the duck pieces. It did come with some vegetables in the broth as well. It appears they only have street parking, which has been free the two times I have visited Thai North. I think next time I will opt for take out and try more of their Thai dishes.

    N6. Drunken Noodles  and Thai tea.
    Rebecca C.

    Oh my goodness. During this time of lockdown I was down and decided that I just needed a delicious meal. I got the drunken noodle which they have a lunch special and the Thai tea with bubble. It is soooo darn good! The food arrived still hot. It is savory and spicy. The noodles are cooked perfectly and the tea...... oh my goodness you are missing out if you skip this sweet delightful drink from heaven. Thank you for being open during these times. Y'all rock

    My go to for Thai food right now! Authentic and delicious, and portion sizes for the price is very fair. Compared to other places in the area, this is the place to eat Thai! I've ordered here multiple times, and I usually order: Tom Yum Soup - a bit on the sour side but overall great taste Pad Thai - flavorful. Just simply great. There are places where pad Thai is bland and dry, but not this one. Drunken Noodle - one of the all time favorite. The sauce is plenty and so good you will want to eat the sauce with everything. Tom Kua - creamy and delicious Pa-Nang Curry - my favorite curry out of the other curry selections. Usually when there is a Penang Curry option, I go with that! I love the flavor of Penang Curry...Creamy, coconut, a bit of spice (I opted for mild because I don't handle spicy well)

    I ordered carry out on a Wednesday night. No eat in customers but at least 4 other folks came in for carry-out orders as well. Restaurant itself is very cute and the owner was very sweet, offering me a glass of water as I waited. To aid in ordering they also have pictures of all their offerings hanging on one of the walls. Super helpful if you aren't familiar with Thai food. My drunken Udon noodles with chicken was very oily and spicy although I had requested not spicy. Very disappointing . However, since this place is within easy walking distance from me I'll probably be stopping by once the weather is cold to give one of their many soups a try.

The meat is always cooked perfectly and all the sauces pair with each other well. Prices are good, I've paid much much for worse quality food.

Bonus points for an extravagantly laminated menu that has pictures of every single dish rendered in uber-colorful detail. We got the: papaya salad with shrimp; chicken satay; crab fried rice; pad thai; and mango sticky rice. More than enough food to feed two people, including a little bit for leftovers the next day. The crab fried rice - please, please get this. I'm usually not a fried rice person, as my parents taught me long ago that rice is just filler and must be avoided at all costs at the buffet line, but their crab fried rice is stellar. Loaded with generous chunks of real crab and so flavorful, with the smokiness of the wok permeating through. I also usually skip the pad thai at any Thai restaurant but I loved this rendition, beautiful balance of sweet and salty, and with all the necessary accoutrements, like chopped peanuts and a squeeze of lime. I would say the chicken satay is maybe a skip but it comes with an incredible peanut sauce that I love to slather on top of everything. Mango sticky rice: eh, it's not the season for mango. The one that came with ours was definitely a bit anemic and limp. The warm sticky rice covered in condensed milk with the faintest tinge of pandan green was good enough to eat on its own. They're really busy so not the best place to sit and talk with your friends all evening. Also not a lot of street parking on a busy street. I suggest walking or taking the bus over. Need to order the fried fish next time. You know a Thai place is excellent when I'm lured away from my beloved green curry to try the other options.

Back then, they were a normal-style restaurant (similar system to Panda Express). After that first time, I quickly became a repeat customer because of their catfish, pork soup, and the crispy pork. Just those three were sufficient and then several months later, they became a buffet-style restaurant. I was elated. They experimented with other dishes but the crispy pork remained my favorite. No matter what dish they make, all of them were infused with strong flavors and mouth-watering aroma. It is truly a tragedy that this restaurant closed. Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): The people here were incredibly courteous and kind whenever they served us. Wait-time can be rather long ever since they converted to a buffet-style but somehow they still manage to keep the restaurant clean and well-kept. Price (1/1): Even back when they were NOT a buffet, their price were very reasonable for the amount of food they give. That positive is multiplied so many times once they transitioned to buffet-style.

It was very busy but we were able to get a table for two within 5 min. The service was super slow. Took ~20 min for our server to take our order & another 40 min for our food to come. We noticed our server was the only server for all the tables, haha crazy! Here's what we ended up ordering: -roti (w/ potato curry sauce) -chicken wings (w/ spicy garlic sauce) -pad see ew -pla pad kun chai (fried cod fish fillet w/ lemongrass + Chinese celery) -Thai iced tea We tried the chicken wings, the roti, and Thai iced teas at the restaurant & ended up requesting for the rest of our food to go since we were on a time crunch. Thoughts: The pad see ew was delicious! We reheated it later that night & it was flavorful. I would definitely get this again. The chicken wings had good flavor but we found the chicken itself to be very dry inside. Made it difficult to enjoy. I loved the potato curry sauce that came with the roti. Simple but tasty dish. The pla pad kun chai was our least favorite dish we ordered. It didn't taste good at all after reheating. We're curious if we would've enjoyed this more if we ate it at the restaurant when it was fresh? The fish had a very fishy smell & didn't taste like it had been treated with lemon, vinegar, or both. We usually enjoy cod fish & lemongrass but this was a complete miss for us. Lastly, the Thai iced tea was okay. It was a bit too watery for us & we wished it could've been creamier. Overall, I would come back again to give Cha Yen another try. I did like the dishes we tried at the restaurant & perhaps the fish for example would've tasted better if had at the restaurant.

I'm glad I didn't judge it by it's outwardly appearance because it was actually freaking tasty!!! The inside is ... also interesting looking. The service was fast but lacking enthusiasm and could have been a little more friendly and welcoming. The first time I tried it was in person ... inside the restaurant. I've tried it 2 more times since ... both UberEats. The first time really blew me away!!! I was ready to give this place 5 stars!!! The flavors were so perfect and unique. The downside was that the portions were extremely small ... like so small, especially for the price. However, it was so good that I ordered it via UberEats 2x after. The first time I ordered it via UberEats, it was ok, but the second time, it was just horrible ... like way too greasy with no flavor. Just grease and oil. For this reason, I give the rating I did.

Arriving at 6, our party of 4 received seating immediately; the establishment only had a few other tables occupied (they did have a decent number of delivery orders). We ordered everything to share, I sampled the following: - Sai Oua | $10 - Crying Tiger | $16 - Kra-Pow w/ground Pork | $14 - Drunken Noodle w/Beef | $16 The Sai Oua, a Northern Thai style of sausage, had both strong lemongrass and earthy herbal flavors. This proved quite addictive; the plate emptied quickly. The Crying Tiger, a grilled steak, proved equally popular given the savory marinade's interplay with tangy dipping sauces. The Kra-Pow w/ground pork, an orthodox menu item representing ground pork sautéed with chili, garlic, basil leaves with hot basil sauce over rice, met expectations. The Drunken noodle with beef, another orthodox menu item, this time with sautéed flat rice noodles with egg, basil, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and onions in spicy basil sauce, also tasted decent. Notably, the spicy sauce actually had some heat and didn't just taste like soy sauce. Overall, I enjoyed everything. The starting 2 appetizers stood out compared to the mains mostly because of the novelty. The portion sized did seem a bit small, but given the quality, I can understand the establishment trying to maintain a certain price point.
