Ordered some quick takeout tonight from Pho-ket using the takeout menus they keep stocked next to the register. I was surprised when my bill was significantly higher than the menu indicated it should be. The cashier just shrugged and indicated that prices went up. I suggested that they remove their inaccurate printed fold-up takeout menus, but nothing was done. The inaccurately priced menus remain at the counter. When I am charged a different price than advertised I cannot help but feel like I have been ripped-off. I have eaten here before and have enjoyed their food. The Tom Kha Soup I ordered was excellent as always. However, the Pad Thai tonight was uninspired mush. There was not a single bean sprout in this dish which was too bad because that would have helped balance the overcooked noodles. I'm hoping that this was just a bad night and that the dishonest pricing situation is quickly addressed. I will try them again in a few weeks and report back. read more

I was curious to try this place out for a while now. I stopped in around 1pm on a Tuesday and there was only one other customer eating. Very tranquil eating space and the staff was very welcoming. I haven't tried a lot of Thai so the menu was a bit intimidating but I ended up ordering the Noodles Tender with chicken. It was absolutely delicious. My only gripe was that I would have liked the broccoli to be cooked a bit more. Chicken was well seasoned and the portion was just the right amount for the price. I will definitely be coming back. read more

New residents of the area, we had a hard time finding good take out. Phuket Thai is INCREDIBLE! Service is friendly, the delivery is always fast, the food is well packaged, and is always fresh and delicious. I get the pad see ew with chicken and my boyfriend enjoys their drunken noodle and their variety of fried rice. Very happy we stumbled across this restaurant. read more

The lunch boxes are one of the best deals in downtown Wakefield! The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff are really friendly and make paper roses on your straw when you order Thai Iced Tea :) read more

I wanted to go back to this restaurant since I first went there when it first opened 5 years ago. When I first went inside, it was pretty busy so it did take a while to get my food. First I ordered the crispy spring rolls which were quite tasty without being greasy. Also, since I am a duck and noodle lover, I ordered the Pad See You with duck. The portion size was appropriate for lunch and the noodles mixed with its sauce was tasty. The duck was sliced and not minced with some fat on it, but not too much. The prices for lunch were between 10 and 11 dollars except for the seafood offerings which were higher. All in all, I would go back to this restaurant if I am in the area, however, my favorite Thai restaurant is still Lana Thai in Woburn, bar none and I have been to countless Thai restaurants. read more

Nice off the street location and a great spot for a quiet dinner. The food is fantastic and the wide range of different types of curry will bring you back a few more times to expand your tastes. I have not gotten thru the entirety of the curry list, but I will happily endorse the Duck Choo Chi. Great taste and a decent amount of meat. Its a bit heavy on peppers, but the sauce is just amazing. The beer and wine menu is a very short list that leaves a lot to be desired, but the friendly atmosphere and high quality food more than make up for this. Grab a booth by the window; its spacious and open. The prices are fair and the portions are great. I usually find myself taking a container home to have the next day. I love Thai food, and this is easily one of the better places to go to satisfy that craving read more

Been here 2x and still trying to find a groove. Had Spinach chicken dish first time which for $13 was a little small. It was tasty but not blow you away tasty or filling enough. Had the wings which were good but again small. I would skip them for something better. The Crispy rolls I will say were OUTSTANDING On my second visit, I had a Papaya Salad which was pretty good. The papaya, carrot and nuts with spices was awesome, the chopped up chicken was just average and the ice berg lettuce wedge was kind on knarly and seemed out of place, So overall seems like some good stuff, the interior of the place is really nice but I have done take out both of my times. I guess next I should try the "Pad Thai?".....or should I have started with that? read more

Great food. Hot Salmon meal is outstanding. They always have the freshest vegetables and salmon. Always perfect. read more

Hands down the best thai food in the area. I am not sure why it is not busier here, but the food is great and employees are very nice.

Very small dining room, but decorated very well. Food is sooooo good. Def from scratch and fresh. Appetizers are kinda small serving for the price but still well worth it. You have to try the mussel app! I have gotten the salmon dish and it was cooked to perfection! read more

Ordered some basics. Pad thai was ok, needed more protein and egg. Basil udon noodles were great. Good texture. Service was very slow considering we were the only ones in the restaurant. Overall, it's probably a 4 star. But the slow meal service made me drop it down a notch. The crab rangoon was horrible. But I suspect that is because it is a Thai version of a Chinese classic. read more

I was one of first customer at phuket. I was walking by with my brothers and decided to try it and boy was happy to be there. Food was good, atmoshere was good, Service was excellent! read more

We ordered for the first time and the food was very good, but.....not the friendliest people ,and I was never told that I had to pay an additional percentage of my order because I PICKED UP OUR ORDER. It was not delivered and I was not happy about that. read more

Great food but every time we call in an order they mess it up. Most recent visit showed up and the handwritten order was still at the hostess stand. What's the point of calling it in if you have to wait 15-20 minutes when you get there. Was offered a stink - which I was charged for - while I waited and no apology. Still, the food is good. Not sure I will order from them again unless I have time to kill. read more

My wife and I discovered this gem of Thai Restaurant down a side street in Wakefield one day purely by accident. So glad we did. It's a quaint small restaurant tucked away on Princess Street. The place is very neat and clean. The help is polite,pleasant and respectful. The food is very tasty and delicious,what you expect from a Thai food restaurant. The portions are plenty to keep you satisfied. The prices are very reasonable. We have been back there several times since our first experience. I highly recommend you give this place a tasty chance. read more

It used to be that Bangkok Spice was my favorite go-to Thai lunch spot, but Phu-Ket has taken over. In fact, I believe they offer the best Thai eating experience I have ever had. I wish I could say I have eaten at many a Thai place, but that number is probably around 5 or 6 at most. That list includes such local Thai establishments as Thai Basil in Boston (been there once), Green Papaya in Waltham (been there on at least 10 occasions), Thai Choice in Gloucester (it's been years, but ate mostly take-out from them a handful of times), and the aforementioned Spice in Reading (which at one point I thought was better than Phu-Ket, and had eaten lunch there 3 times in one week). I formerly worked in Wakefield, and now work in Reading, so I have only eaten Phu-Ket for lunch onsite, but at this point it's been too many times to count over the past 3 years. I had lunch there twice this past week. Compared to Bangkok Spice, they have a bigger menu with fresher ingredients. The space itself is much nicer and roomier with always a table open. In fact, I would call it fine dining-esque, in a unique and posh architectural setting. The waitstaff are no frills, and the pricing is fair. Portion-wise, they are on par, if not slightly larger, than Spice in Reading. Lastly, their dishes offer a richer flavor, which leads to a better fullness factor, if you will. Phu-Ket has grown on me over the years, and as I've matured and tried more of their dishes, I have found Thai gourmet nirvana. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. Meats are fresh, dishes are authentic, service is great. Love everything I've had here--noodles, basil dishes, pad thai, curries. It helps that the owner and chef is Thai and focuses on fresh, healthy ingredients. This place is a treat! read more

*rated 4 because I'm not schooled in Thai food, not sure how this compares to other places (cant rate it perfect) BUT I really enjoyed my experience so here it is* On Labor day my fiance and I were hungry around lunch time, and we remembered this place from some samples we had at the Italian Festival in Wakefield, so we decided to give it a try. We dont usually go for Thai or Chinese so we were going in here blind a little bit and not knowing what to expect. The place was pretty much empty so we got a seat right away. The inside is super nice, a lot of nice decor and clean (also it was sweltering outside and the AC they had cooled us off right away). We started with some crispy rolls and they were amazing! Came with the usual sauce they give you, tasted fantastic. Fiance ordered some curry while i ordered some beef teriyaki. My meal (I ordered a lunch box special) came with a small soup. The real sign that the food was going to be great was this soup. At other places I've been served similar soup it always smelled fishy (I hate fish/seafood), and when I'd have a taste it'd be weird and I'd never finish them. But this time I didnt just taste the soup I totally finished it! Definitely a first for me. Food came and it was awesome! Mine came served in an interesting bento style lunch thingy. The serving was a really good size, not too much food. Fiance really enjoyed his curry (although he said he'd have liked it a little hotter). Overall very happy and will definitely be visiting this place again :) read more

Looks nice inside. It was expensive and portions were small. I had the pad Thai and it was not good.

Excellent Thai dishes. Ginger Scallop (under Mixed&Match menu) ... Beef Macademia ... Pad See Ew ... Seriously tasty. Good size meals and decent prices. Phuket never disappoints and we've been ordering here for years. Good safety protocols for COVID as well. Highly recommended. read more

This should really be 0 stars I just ordered delivery from this place for the first time and what a massive disappointment. I was quoted 45-60 minutes. It arrived AN HOUR AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES later And it was ice cold and soggy. And tasted disgusting. Never again. read more

Delicous! Our new lunch place! Cant beat the lunch box specials (dine-in only) for $8/$9. I got the Chicken cashew nuts. came with a tasty soup, 2 crispy rolls and small salad with a peanut sauce. IThe dish has a nice variety of fresh vegetables. I like that u have a brown rice option. It was different from same ole rice flavor. My husband got the beef basil and also enjoyed his dish. we went super hungry. it is not a ton of food, but just enough so that u fdont feel bloated and want to take a nap for the day! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this cozy hole in-the-wall type place hidden just off of Main Street Wakefield. I had the Crazy Noodle and my wife had the Pad Tai and we started with the steamed dumplings. All of our dishes were 5 stars out of 5 at a 2-star price. I highly recommend the Thai Beer choice on the menu (Singha); I usually don't enjoy light beer but this one had much more flavor than most other light beers. The interior looks like it was recently updated with some faux stone walls, wine racks, & a granite countertop for the hostess desk - very pleasant. Though, I suspect this place mostly does takeout since it was almost empty @7:30 on a friday night. With few patrons and music playing only softly, it was uncomfortably quiet inside. I could clearly hear the couple speaking two tables down from us. Also it was very cold inside - low 60's I would say (it's November and 45 F outside). I kept my jacket on for my entire meal. TL;DR; -Food = A+ -Price = A+ -Atmosphere = C+ read more

The food is the best But they cannot seem to deliver or have it ready on time 15 minutes has on more than one occasion been 45 minutes read more

Pretty bad... I love green curry with pretty much anything. It was nothing but spice, no flavor whatsoever. Also ordered some crab Rangoon's, which were obviously mass produced... you can tell because every single one of them was the same size and shape. Not a fan of this place.... read more

This is one of the best Thai Restaurants in the area - it's open for lunch and dinner. The lunch portions are good, the prices are very reasonable and the wait staff are extremely friendly. They have very fresh food, the flavors are excellent and the overall quality of the food is amazing. The menu has an abundant amount of items to choose from from traditional Pad Thai and Pad See Ew to other Asian cuisine. It's just off Main Street and it worth going out of the way. read more

Unfortunately Phuket has gone way down hill. The food here used to be on point, perfectly prepared and delicious. The past several times we have ordered it has gotten worse and worse. The most recent experience, we asked for extra sauce with our 2 appetizers, and not only did we not get extra sauce but the containers that came with the sauce were less than half full. One got Pad See You with "mild" spice and it was LOADED with red pepper on top and within the order. (see picture attached). The other person got pad thai that was packed so tight in the container that the noodles couldn't be pulled out without the whole thing coming out of the container, and it was DRY and had absolutely no flavor. The third person got Pad Thai with veggies and we asked for no egg and it was legitimately dry thin rice noodles with what seemed like steamed chicken. Disgusting. Called and told them and they couldn't have cared less. Really too bad that this place is not what it used to be. read more

Phuket Thai Restaurant - This was supposed to be Beef Pad See You with MILD spice. There was a ton of red pepper on top and spice inside the noodles too! - Thai Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Ordered delivery on a Friday around 6p and it arrived in about 30 minutes. Everything was hot, fresh, and fried items were crisp and piping hot. For a main dish, I ordered the chicken ka-pow. Was delicious but not as spicy as I was expecting. Will definitely order again but up the spice level. Very happy with my order and fast delivery. Certainly will order from here again. read more

Tried another Thai restaurant but it was closed (lots of Thai options in Wakefield. Came here. Food was good but service was excruciatingly sloooooooooooooow. Restaurant not even 1/2 full. There was a fairly steady take out though. read more

Phu-Ket serves authentic, delicious, Tom-Yum soup and a savory pad Thai. The issue is sometimes their shrimp tastes "off." The Japanese have have a word to describe this "off" taste, "doro-doro" which roughly translated means, "muddy." My wife says that Shrimp often tastes like the food it eats, but according to the web, they eat plankton and algae. I've never eaten algae, so I'll just stick to the Japanese description, "doro-doro." Since I've had "doro-doro" shrimp pad thai and Tom Yum there, I'll stick to chicken if I ever go there again. read more

I love this little place however I only eat the Pad Thai (so good!) and we've had a few apps which we've loved. Nice ambience, good service and a nice experience every time we've gone. read more

We love this place. Excellent takeout, packaged well, fantastic value, and fast. Doesn't get any better.

Delicious food! We ordered take out and picked it up. We ordered the Hot and Crazy Noodles-different, and tasty! Loved it!! Very spicy, but you can tone the spiciness down if you ask them to. We also ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai. They could have added more a few more shrimp but it was very tasty. The crab rangoon was the best I've ever had. My two small children loved the chicken satay appetizer -they're chicken skewers. My husband said, "Hands down, best Thai I've ever had." I'm hoping this place does well. It's tucked down a side street right in Wakefield center. Plenty of parking on street, and two parking lots behind the restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Staff seemed really nice. Very helpful with ordering and suggestions. Will be going there again soon. read more

Highly recommend Phu-ket. Been to a lot of Thai restaurants and this one is the best. Had the House Duck dish it was very tasty, large size with fresh vegetables and vey crispy duck.For app try their dumplings or the lobster soup. read more

One day I just said "Phu Ket" I am finally going to try this place. And I did. And I do not regret it one bit. What a fine, cozy, quaint, yet sophisticated little place the new management has put together here. It has some of the freshest food you will find around here. The details truly matter in their food. I started with the crab rangoons for six dollars and I enjoyed them. You get five of them. I had a Thai beer called Singha with water along side it. They also have Japanese beer and Chinese beer if you so choose. Singha is very good beer, especially for the cheap price of $4.50 for an import. Then came the classic hot salmon dinner. Plenty of vegetables came with salmon in a sweet thai chili sauce. Not too spicy, but spicy enough to stimulate the taste buds. The vegetables were onion, green and red peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, green beans. As you can see, some traditional thai vegetables and some non-traditional ingredients. They come as advertised, thai with a twist. This restaurant is true to the spirit of Thai food in the sense of the various color and flavor in the dish. The salmon was good quality salmon. The main course of salmon cost $16.00. And for dessert, I had the cheesecake crème brule. The presentation was good. It was a great way to finish a great meal. The total cost without tax was $31.50 and I was satisfied with the price. Some people have criticized the service. I was not here during a busy night and I was here during a slow late afternoon. The service was more than good to me. If some people have problems with the service, they have to realize that like French food, a lot goes into the preparation and presentation of the Thai food. The quality of their food, however, makes it well worth the wait. It is not like Red Sugar restaurant here. You are getting an experience that is much more elegant and much more sophisticated and that takes a little more time. I have said before I am no expert in Thai, but this is the best Thai restaurant to which I have been. It is even better than the one in Melrose, and that is saying a lot. This ranks as one of the top twenty dining experiences for me. I highly recommend this place. read more

Come for the novelty of the name. Come back for the excellent service and delicious food! Kudos for the blend of flavors!

Excellent food and service. Clean and kind. The lobster soup will make you say wow. I am going back today!

If I could give this no stars I would. TERRIBLE - boyfriend and I both ordered chicken pad thai. Chicken was NOT cooked at all. We maybe each had 3 bites and had to throw the entire meal away. It came with no sprouts and no lime to squeeze over it. Also basically all noodles, very little chicken, and maybe a teaspoon of crushed peanuts BAD BAD BAD! read more
