So, so sad. We really wanted to like this local place. My wife and I both had red curry. Mine…read morewas chicken; hers was tofu and vegetables. My chicken curry was kinda small (I would have overlooked this had the curry been good); pretty tasteless (I had to add salt to bring out some flavor); and had too much oil. While not swimming in oil, I did have to use many paper towels to absorb off the oil before eating. The tofu/vegetable curry had some curry taste but was quite liquidy, like a curry soup. Not much tofu or vegetables either. For me, the worst part was the oil. Not lying -- there was at least 1/8" of oil on top of the curry in theto go container. Had to use a small ladle to scoop out the oil. Look, I realize some oil is needed to stir fry but these were very excessive. Really a bummer since we love Thai, but our curries were just not good. We'll stick with Shine Thai in South city. The pics are from 4-5 years ago when we really enjoyed the food.

Ordering takeout via a phone call was very easy on a Sunday afternoon…read more I ordered the beef pad se ew, chicken Thai fried rice, chicken tom yum soup, angel wings, and Thai tea. All the food upheld the 20 minute drive home. Chicken wings were delightfully stuffed and crispy. Entree were still warm and not too oily. I love that there is a bit of sear on the pad se ew noodles. The gal who rang me up was kind and speedy. They kept the thai tea cold until pick up which shows great customer service. There are plenty of places who leave your Togo drink on the counter until pick up and this place doesn't do that. Restaurant was practically empty and very clean. Definitely looking forward to eating in next time!

The food is decent here, but to-go portions used to be better and service could be improved…read more Ordered our usual chicken skewers, pad see ew with beef and pad thai with pork. To-go portions are served in smaller black rectangular containers, which is much different than when they used to have the wider square white containers. I'm not sure if ownership changed hands because their menu had also changed and the previous specials aren't offered anymore. They have different specials now and they're not as good as before. As a small business, you would appreciate your customers whether they dine-in or order to-go. The lady I received the food from during pick up barely smiled and didn't express any sign of appreciation for choosing to order from their establishment. Especially in today's tipping culture where it's mainly based on service received, a smile and simple "thank you" goes a long way. There is never a line to wait and sit down here (at least I haven't seen one) so that might give you an idea of the restaurant's dine-in popularity. I would only order from here if we were really craving thai and too lazy to venture outside of Westborough area.

I might consider getting the fish on the side since the sauce made the breading a little soggy. The green curry chicken was very good as well. Broth could be a little thicker, but flavor and spice level were great. Not too soicy. The fried chicken over fried rice was pretty good, with a nice crunch to the chicken. It was pretty empty when we got there, so service was fast and cordial. All in all, it's one of the better Thai spots I've been too. I've actually been here a few times, but finally got a chance to review. One thing to point out, however, is sample tip calculation includes the sales tax. Just a little nit that always seems to bother me.

Came here one evening not too long ago. We walked in told them it was a party for 3 and they…read moreimmediately started setting up a table for us. We sat down and were given menus right away. My husband ordered a Roast Duck Noodle Soup, our little one ordered Fried Chicken Over Fried Rice, I ordered the Massaman Curry with Chicken, and we ordered Fried Banana with Ice Cream to share. The Roast Duck Noodle Soup tasted delicious it was not too heavy on the lighter side not too salty and overall we all thought it tasted well. The star of the show was the dish our little one ordered the Fried Chicken Over Fried Rice everything about this dish married well with each other and tasted spectacular. The Massaman Curry with Chicken was ok it wasn't my family's favorite, the Roti and Cucumber Salad that it came with was ok Roti too crispy for me, Cucumber Salad was super small portion I was expecting a bigger portion and the Curry itself was a tad bit too salty for my liking...I find that it would have been nice if it was served over a bed of rice instead of with Roti. Also my Curry dish was full of chicken pieces and very little potato pieces...please please more potatoes next time. As for the dessert it was good can't go wrong with dessert. Also at one point one of our plates had a little dead gnat on it but the waitress was so attentive when I pointed it out to her she changed the plate setting right away, thank you!! Maybe when I come again next time I can get a different dish. Other than that the place is well kept small and tucked away from a busy street, I believe my family and I know of this restaurant because we passed by a few times while going to other neighboring stores and restaurant.

I think if you order 4 entrees for a group of 4 (2 dudes/2 gals) you'll leave feeling fully satiated with a little room for dessert. The pineapple in the fried rice adds a nice sweetness to compliment all the other dishes. Pad thai was probably the best I've ever had. A lot of pad thais at different restaurants often are too sweet, or "ketchupy" but Kan Kiin's nailed it. Salt Pork Belly is a great meat choice, probably everyone's favorite that night. Green curry was excellent too. Service was great and restaurant ambience was very clean and modern. Will definitely be back!

From the plating to the overall…read moremodern interior, you can tell they put a lot of effort into presentation because it definitely feels like one of those spots that gets attention for being very Instagram friendly. The service was on point the whole time, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Food wise, it was a bit of a mix. The matcha pancakes looked amazing and the cream on top was really good, but the pancakes themselves were a little on the dry side. The noodles were actually a pleasant surprise and very different from what I expected but really tasty. The wings were super good too, especially with the sauce on the side so you can control how much you want. The clay pot dish was just okay, nothing bad but nothing that really stood out either. The highlight for me was definitely the steak and eggs! it was cooked well and probably the most satisfying dish we ordered. Overall, it's a solid spot with great presentation and good service, but the food didn't completely wow me. Not bad at all, just not something I'd go out of my way for but still worth trying at least once.

Finally got a chance to come back to Champa Garden, and the food is still as good as we remember!…read moreWe stopped by around noon on a Sunday, and there were a few other parties, but plenty of open tables available. We picked out own table and quickly ordered some dishes to split between the four of us. -Thai Tea: it was a sunny warm day, so this thai tea was calling us - this ended up being a great idea because we overestimated our spice tolerance when ordering our papaya salad. Not watered down at all and a great thai tea. -Papaya salad: we got the thai style this time and confidently ordered a 5/10 spice. It was a bit too much for most of us, but still bearable - I'd probably get a 3 spice next time. Super fresh, with a bit of tartness cutting through the spice. -Champa sampler: forgot to get a picture but it looks the same as my previous review - we love the fresh veggies and herbs to go with the crispy rice, sausage and fried rolls. -Tom Kha: creamy, comforting, fragrant and full of mushrooms and our choice of chicken. -Pad kee mao: not too oily, with a generous amount of beef and veggies, this was just what we were looking for. Overall, a solid classic place to get comforting thai and lao food to split with friends. I know we'll be back again!

George and I ordered the Tom Pad See Ew Noodles ($15) with beef and the Tom Kha Soup ($16) with…read morechicken through Grubhub. The food arrived quickly, which was a great start. The Tom Kha soup was the highlight of the meal. It was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, with a nice balance of coconut, citrus, and herbs. It was so good that George is still finishing the leftovers today. Between the two of us, we got about four servings out of it, which felt like a great value. Unfortunately, the Pad See Ew was a letdown. The dish was greasy, lacked depth of flavor, and had very little beef. I ended up contacting customer support to request a partial refund because the portion of protein was so disappointing. For a dish like Pad See Ew, you expect tender slices of beef, chewy rice noodles, and a balanced savory and slightly sweet soy flavor with a bit of char from the wok, but this version fell short. Overall, the soup was excellent and worth ordering again, but the noodle dish did not meet expectations. I have heard good things about this place and hope this was just an off day.

I came back to Khao Tiew recently and this time, I ordered the right dishes! First, the beef short…read morerib with tallow fried rice was amazing! I would come back just for this dish. The short rib is super tender and I loved how flavorful the rice is with scallions and the cured egg yolk to pair with. The duck breast red curry was still really good (I got this the first time) and not too spicy. Finally I got the Pad Ngor Ngae which is their wok-fried rice noodles with Chinese sausage, tofu, egg and served with lettuce. This was a pretty yummy Chinese fusion dish although I didn't think the noodles needed the lettuce wraps. The spicy vinegary sauce on the side was great tho and added a nice kick. All in all, is it worth waiting for 1.5 hrs on a Wednesday night for dinner? I wouldn't do it every week but I'd say the food here is worth trying at least one. We ended up driving closer to get onto the Yelp waitlist and went elsewhere to wait.

They were very busy and they remained very busy. Their service people were rushed and rushed us out-the-door. There was no minute-by-minute mitigating operational issues with smooth and suave planning, training and corrections. Which was in stark contrast to the attention to the elegant decor and food detail; texture; color; taste; and the use of ingredients with medicinal benefits, as well as good flavor and care being given to the food's appearance, smell and context. Although Thai cuisine is well known for its yummy spiciness, it's the careful balance and blend of five flavors: sour, sweet, salty, bitter, and spicy that results in all these complex tantalizing tastes we so love about Thai food. The food was adequate at that. Which is saying a lot as that isn't easy. When it comes to cooking, amateurs practice until they get it right while professional chefs, like here, practice until they can't get it wrong. Their menu was nicely varied and not overwhelming in size Thai fruits are heavenly and they include the familiar: banana, pineapple, watermelon, and papaya, as well as the exotic: dragon fruit, chompu, durian, and jackfruit.

I'll be back, but to do the take-out only. I was first introduced to Thai cuisine in early 1970s when Uncle Sam sent me to Thailand's Royal Thai Air Force Bases on several but each brief round-trips. Some trips were so brief, that when we landed I'd rush to a Thai food vendor, often accompanied by several of my fellow travelers, get Thai food take-out, and rush back to the C-130A Hercules transport, where after we'd completed the off-loading then on-loading of personnel, we'd savor our Thai treats on the trip back while strapped to the side of a bulkhead or the hull. Thai food worked well at dealing with the smell of aviation exhaust that permeates our craft's cargo hold, which is already stuffy. We'd tried several other foods but only Thai food was able to put up a fight for flavor against a C-130's engines. I learned each of Thailand's different regions has developed its own style of cuisine and has dishes that are quite different from those of other regions. Thai food from Issarn, in the northeast of Thailand, shares many similarities with cuisine from neighboring Laos, though Thai versions of the dishes, such as Som Tam, are a lot heavier on the chili. Southern curries on the other hand, are less spicy, with a greater Malaysian influence, and feature more coconut and turmeric. I prefer Northern Thai food. P.S. Don't message me because in spite of my several complaints to yelp, for years now I am unable to open up any messages in yelp to me :-(
