Love this spot! Such friendly, attentive staff and the restaurant is clean and adorable inside. We were given some scallion pancakes on the house which was beyond kind and appreciated, and they were SO delicious. We enjoyed everything we tried and will be back many more times! We also enjoyed some refreshing Thai tea which isn't pictured in my photos! Highly recommend. read more

I'm a simple man. I see Khao Soi, I give 4 stars. Oh I need to say more? This is not socks-blown-off Thai food, but the variety of things they have is pretty impressive. And, at least from my experiments, it doesn't seem like they're just phoning it in on these dishes. Things taste fresh and they don't skimp on ingredients. For sure there could be a bit more spice in there but...I mean, it's Medford. read more

Came here for a Tuesday night date night. It's a small place, really quiet, appears to do a significant take out business. We won't complain because it was great that we had the whole place to ourselves. The service as great. I ordered a dish hot on the heat level and I need constant water refills. Our waitress kept me stocked up on water! The food. It came out quickly and super hot. It was not lacking in flavor either. Both dishes were delicious and would order again. Both dishes hit the spot. The hot was hot and no joke. If you like spicy food, they can get there. I would recommend this place. 10/10. Would return! If you are looking for a date night spot, I would definitely come here. read more

I hadn't been to this spot in a while and decided yesterday to revisit it after craving some good Thai food. For my appetizer, I ordered the fried calamari and the golden bags, but both were disappointingly greasy--the food wasn't allowed to drain properly before being packed. There was literal grease seeping through my bag and I could taste it upon eating the appetizers. The calamari was also tough and didn't seem fresh, almost as if it wasn't real calamari at all. The golden bags had potential, but they would have been much better if the Thai aromatics had been marinated into the ground chicken instead of relying mostly on corn. For my main dish, I ordered the drunken noodles--absolutely fire. Flavorful, tasty, and very well done. I've been here several times before and usually find the food to be quite good. I stopped coming for a while because I felt the flavor quality had declined. If consistency in cooking and quality can't be maintained, customers will drift away. As someone who loves Thai food, I'm looking for consistent quality and a reliable flavor experience. Please make the appetizers tasty! read more

Staying at the nearby Hyatt Place and walking around Medford Square came upon this delicious Thai restaurant. Extensive menu at resonable prices and efficient/friendly service. We enjoyed the 3 items we ordered... Isaan Sausages, Cashew Nut Chicken and Three Delight. Would definitely recomend it. read more

It was a small yet comfortable place with fast service. We ordered vegetarian rolls, crab rangoon, dumplings, red curry, and green curry. The appetizers were tasty, and while both curries were flavorful, the red curry stood out as the more delicious of the two. read more

This is a no frills that has great food! I wouldn't say there's much of an ambiance but it is clean from the tables to the bathrooms. They do need to cut on the heat cause it was freezing in there and it's December 1st. They seemed understaffed but as attentive and on top of things given the circumstances. We had a show to go to and i told them to bring everything at once and pay immediately and they were very accommodating. (4/5) for service Food overall (4.5/5) Beef penang curry was some of the best we ever had! (5/5) Drunken noodles was on point (4.5/5) Shumai was pretty delicious (4/5) read more

Quite good as it's pretty authenticate unlike other "American-Thai" places. Portions are huge as well so value is good. No wait time is a plus of your hungry. read more

The atmosphere and servers were great! I really wished I liked the food more. The Tom Yum tasted like fish sauce with a chili oil. The chicken skewers were pretty good, not too dry and had plenty of flavor. The noodles with beef (on the street food menue) was sweet! I was expecting savory but it came with a side of sugar on top of its already sweetness. read more

They have been in service for over 10 years and I was living so close. Service was top-notch. I came late with one hour before closing. The food came fast and was AWESOME! They now have a street food menu. So the selections are great. Well displayed huge menus with photos (at least for the STreet food menu) which consists of full meal plates. The Thai Tea was very tasty as well. I will be BACK! read more

I've tried their curries and drunken noodles before and those were good. Last night I grabbed Pad Thai and edamame. If the pad thai wasn't that much sugary, it would have been delicious but no it was really really sugary and edamame was not good also. They are not bad at overall, their curries are tasty but as I said edamame and pad thai were not. So just don't go with these two. read more

This is a solid Thai place. I'd more give them a 3.5 but you can't do half stars so... They have the whole Thai restaurant menu you would expect. The popular dishes are good but they're a bit skimpy on vegetables and the toppings. The dishes have shrunken significantly over the years and it is pricey for the quality. It's just convenient to have, but there is definitely better places around for sure. read more

The debate is over. This is hands down my favorite thai food place in mass. Yes in all of mass!! Omg its such a hidden gem and I'm actually so mad we waited this long to try. If you're a fan of authentic Thai street food and not just pad thai and tom yum, this is the place. We got the kao mun gai (chicken & rice) and it's delicious! My boyfriend even prefers this more than our usual spot - Hen in Somerville. I got the khao kha moo (braised pork thigh with rice + chinese broccoli and boiled egg) and omg I was on cloud nine!! Can't wait to go back and try more. We were pretty surprised that it was empty inside when we went to pick the food up :( the people working there was sweet as hell too! we love this place so we really hope this review reaches the right audience. The crispy chicken skin app was delicious as well and we got two desserts to try because we couldn't decide which one to get. The fried banana was ok, like sweet egg rolls but the one that captured our heart was the sweet sticky rice with thai custard. Hallelujah it's delicious!!! Not too much at all, though I always love the mango version, this one is pretty dang good and a unique way to elevate the sweet coconuty sticky rice. Will fosho definitely coming back to try other street food dishes on the menu!! read more

This place is next to me and I wanted to order a take out. I went to the website which is tomyumkoong.net on my computer and chose a dish. When I called first a lady on the reception gave me the wrong price and said that she doesn't see in her menu the right dish. So I came to the place and the menu was completely different and didn't have the option that you can see when you do it from computer. So as result I spent my time for nothing and ended up not buying anything. If you do an online menu check that it's the same everywhere. So disappointed. read more

I love the pad Thai, drunken noodles, and curry dishes at this restaurant! They are always friendly, fast, accommodating, and may go to lunch or dinner, fast food place. The delivery has always been perfect. Sometimes I even come here to dine in for a show at the chevalier theater. They sell wine and beer too! read more

Do not be fooled, this is a 4.9 on uber eats and the food was so bad that we threw away. I wish it was just ok and wouldn't bother with this review but it was not and was every dish...4.9 is very high for uber eats so just do not be lured in, no idea how this is... you have been warned. read more

Great pad thai and excellent spicy menu options. The spicy items are actually spicy just as a warning for those who can't handle it.

Had a door dash order. I love their pad Thai but the added fried chicken to it. It was yucky. I like chicken that is cooked as part of the dish, not fried. read more

Best Thai restaurant near Medford, MA! Affordable prices, efficient and friendly service, and authentic flavors. The chicken satay is juicy and paired with a creamy peanut sauce. The pad thai is classically delicious and their red curry is the best I've had. read more

I had a craving for crab rangoon and the pineapple sauce that is provided when you order crab rangoon from a Thai restaurant. It's different from the duck sauce given at Chinese restaurants. I like duck sauce too but prefer to have that with chicken fingers. I searched Yelp and found this place not too far from work which fellow Yelpers have specifically raved about the crab rangoon. I also ordered a shrimp tom yum koong soup and Thai iced tea. Overall, I was happily surprised as I have ordered take-out from here years ago and found it just average. I wonder if the restaurant has changed hands or has a better chef now? This time, the crab rangoon and accompanying pineapple sauce completely hit the spot. Thai iced tea was on point. I liked the soup the least and found the flavor somewhat flat even though it was spicy. I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu. Next time! read more

Thought we'd give this place a shot since it was right across the street from the Chevalier Theater. Despite being crowded, we were pleasantly seated immediately. That's when it went downhill. The waiter BARELY understood English, which made things very uncomfortable. He placed two glasses of water down on the table, along with the menus, then walked away. REALLY??? He never asked us if we wanted anything to drink. WTH! I got an order of Thai rolls, and while they weren't bad per se, there was nothing great about them either. I order Thai rolls where ever I can, and these failed in comparison. Also ordered were the chicken fingers, which I have to say, were quite good. No complaints there! Lastly, we got the Mama Garlic Noodles with Seafood. Such an utter disappointment. The noodles were VERY mushy, there was not much garlic flavor to speak of, and the seafood was scarce and not the freshest by any means. The vibe in that place was pretty weird too. The staff that I believe were managers, kept watching over us as if they were trying to rush us out; it was quite uncomfortable. I definitely will not be returning. Save your money, peeps! read more

Their food is so good, I wish it was a bigger restaurant. I think it seats 30 at best. The staff is amazingly helpful, and the food is definitely flavorful as well as spicier than most thai American places we have in the area. I definitely go during a weekday, otherwise, Parking is hard in Medford. read more

Delivery review: We ordered the dinner drunken noodles with crispy pork and panang curry with crispy chicken. Both entrees were really good! The drunken noodles had a spicy kick that I wasn't expecting but liked and the veggies were fresh with the noodles fried soft. Definitely recommend. The panang curry was just as promising. It was loaded with chicken bites and veggies. I did wish there was more of the actual curry to enjoy with the brown rice. Overall the meal was great and I'd order again! read more

Good food. Always comes hot and fresh. Nice spice levels. Love their yellow river and their chicken satay.

My go-to Thai place since it's so close to my apartment.....but it's been very hit or miss lately. One time I'll get my favorite crispy pad thai dish and it's perfect, just the right amount of crunch and flavor. The next time the noodles can be mooshy and sour, I don't get it. All I ask for is a little better consistency but it definitely hasn't stopped me from going since they opened their doors over five years ago. I've had the gamut of the pad thais, curries and duck dishes here......all can be solid at times while others just don't shine. The duck is top notch so upgrade the meat for a better overall experience. The fresh spring rolls are a can't miss as an appetizer. They've grown in size from what I have seen, the last one we got just this past week looked like a dildo, I'm not even joking. Always filled with fresh shrimp and mint (I think?), two giant sized, clear dildos. :) I dined in here at the time in their existence they were BYOB. The dining room is a bit bland and nothing to get excited about.....but it's clean. I believe you can now get alcohol here so +1 to that. Their takeout and delivery service is fast and easy if you go that route which I normally prefer with them. I often times have trouble communicating my pick up order over the phone because the worker's English is poor, so that can be another drawback. I've had to repeat myself but nothing has been lost in translation and the order was correct every time. Medford has been blessed with decent, not superior, Thai food for quite some time now....check them out if you find yourself in Medford Square! read more

We order from here a ton. We most often get tom yum soup, khao mun gai, drunken noodles, crispy basil chicken, and tried lots of different appetizers, everything is always hot and delicious. . We'll continue to order from here in the future. read more

Ok Ill go into detail to make this review make sense! I LOVE Thai food, Love Love Love!!! So for years I have been going to Thailand Cafe in Central Sq Cambridge & lately I have been reading their reviews & read that all their food really isnt Thai food, so all these years I have felt cheated, Like "Geesh, what have I been eating all these years..." So living in Everett kinda stinks because there are no Thai food spots in Everett (Sei Bar is not an option - go read my review)... I was browsing online food places & Found out that TYK delivered to Everett "OMG, ARE YOU SERIOUS"... It was instant pandemonium because now I dont know what to order, I want it all & I want to try so many things... So we ordered tonight & I decided to order everything that I order from Thailand Cafe to compare... and I ordered through their online ordering site (Eat24) which made it soo easy to read & add items & add special notes... It was great, and if you order over $55 you get free Bangkok Fried Rice, so here goes: 1. Bangkok Combo = Which consisted of Veggie Tempura, Crab Rangoons (2), Chicken & Beef Satay (1 each), Thai Rolls(2), Gyoza, Chicken Wing(4). The Thai Rolls were tiny almost bite size, the 1 each of Satay was a disappointment but they were good... This is a good platter if you are sharing with 1 other... Otherwise for a large group you def need more than 1 order... There was TONS of Tempura and they were big, fresh pieces of veggies... 2. Fresh Rolls = Were absolutely DELISH... Loved everything about them, Love the rolls, Love the sauce... Love them! 3. Veggie Dumplings (had to order them last minute because I was under the order price by $3 to get free item)... = They werent the best thing I ever had, they were pasty & doughy & the veggie consisted of just spinach... although dunking them in Ginger Sauce made the Wonderful! 4. Crispy Pad Thai = Probably the best Ive ever had, they win in comparison to Thailand Cafe (Because they dont have crispy) There were several BIG Shrimp & lots of Chicken in there if you like, I did ask for Extra Peanut Sauce so that might have been what made it soo yummy! 5. Beef Macadamia = Now this was good not like Thailand Cafes, but good... I would have liked it to be more gingery & maybe more veggies although the beef was soo delish & soo seasoned perfectly... Would Def order again just maybe opt for spicier & that would kick it up some! 6. Veggie Veggie = Which on the menu says contains Chicken (well on the Eat 24 menu it did, I just went to doublecheck) Because what I got had no chicken But I didnt want chicken anyway, I wanted veggies... and thats what it was... Big Great Fresh Veggies & Pineapple, which was not my fave so I would just order No Pineapple next time - Love Pineapple on a normal basis just not covered in Oyster Sauce... 7. Bangkok Fried Rice (mainly for the BF) and it was mushy looking and I thought Oh No this is going to be bad, but it actually wasnt.. it wasnt that spicy or that much flavor, but it was good... All in all I would def go back & try some other things, but I would add some spicy options to some things (which you can do on the ordering site)... I would def recommend and when I go back Ill update on new options.. Check out pics I took a few! read more

I was craving a dish called Rad Na and also wanted to try a new place for variety. Tom Yum Koong's menu looked great. My dining partner is crazy for duck and they had a few options so we decided to call our order in and go pick up. Ordering was easy and they took my card details over the phone. Picking up was also easy as they had a special spot designated to sign for the food, even had a place to put your pen marked as used once you were done. The food smelled great. And we went right home to eat it. Unfortunately, it really wasn't that flavorful. The golden bags were very nice - the best thing we ordered. The Rad Na was very meh. Noodles were just a glob and adding the rest of it didn't help much. Plus there was very little taste. I've never been tempted to add salt or spice to Thai food but I was with this dish. The duck was great but the rest of the meal was either garlic (so much garlic) or totally bland. We were left confused at the blandness of everything as we're used to really flavorful Thai spices and meals. For the price it really wasn't worth it. I won't be back any time soon as there are so many other options in this area. read more

OK food. Nothing was bad, but I didn't love it. Honestly the main complaint was that everything was just too sweet, from the pad Thai to the coconut soup. The one thing that was excellent was the order of fried bananas, probably bc they were meant to be sweet. And the spring rolls were pretty good. read more

Tried for the first time recently. Food was delicious but my portion was a bit smaller than where I usually get Thai takeout. Overall would recommend read more

I decided to try this place for the first time through UberEats. I ordered Drunken Noodles (1 spice level pepper on menu). I had put mild in the additional notes because I did not know how spicy this place would be. To my surprise, what I got was by far the spiciest Drunken Noodle I have ever had to the point where it was inedible and numbed my gums after 2 bites. I had called the restaurant to let them know the issue, and they ended up delivering another one. Props to this restaurant for doing that, even though it was their mistake, most places would not honor it. When I finally got a chance to taste the food, it was really good. Pretty enjoyable and decent quality with no complaints. I would gladly try this place again just based of their customer service. The only issue I have with this place is their prices are a bit high for Thai Food compared to other places in the area, but it's not the biggest deal. read more

Very fast turn time on our order, everything was very good, service was quick and friendly, definitely recommend.

Very good Chinese food, the service is a bit wonky and seemed disorganized. Great if you are going to the Chavalier Theater for a show, which is 300 feet down the street. read more

I have been here twice, one time for take out and another time for dine in. The first time I ate from this restaurant it was a take out less than a month ago. My boyfriend ordered basil fried rice and pad thai. They were both really tasty. It was just like the ones I had at Great Thai Chef in Union Square. I couldn't tell the difference until my boyfriend told me it wasn't Great Thai Chef but a different Thai place near his workplace. And so, I made my boyfriend take me here for lunch yesterday because I was curious. During our lunch meal for appetizer I tried the roti roti. At first, I was really dissappointed when it came out there were maybe six wedges of roti. By the way, it looked nothing like what I expected. I was expecting Penang style roti, you know, the Indian ones, where you tear and dip into the curry sauce. Well, these were like thin slices of pita bread but cut into wedges. What surprised me though, it actually tasted decent. Was a bit oily though. Reminded me of wonton sheets but a bit thicker that were deep fried til they were golden. Anywho, the curry chicken with roti was so amazing. It was pretty spicy but it really was excellent. Now I really want to try their curry dishes. My boyfriend also ordered the papaya shrimp salad as an appetizer. I was dissappointed when I saw the dish, maybe even a little scared. It was soaked in fish sauce. If you know how pungent and unforgiving fish sauce can be, it was a pretty dangerous dish to eat. I dropped a shrimp and feared for my life when I saw some of the fish sauce jumped from the dish. I was thinking, oh lord, please don't let it land on me. It landed on my arm. I ordered the pad thai again and they surprised me this time. First I tasted basil. I thought it somehow accidently got into the dish but then my boyfriend found the basil leaves. It was on purpose. Usually, there's no basil leaves in pad thai but this place adds them. It does change the experience a little. It was, strange. Lol. I also tasted oil. I don't usually taste oil in my pad thai at other places I have had pad thai so this was almost shocking. I don't know if it's a bad thing because the pad thai still tasted good but I think it would be better if I didn't notice the oil. I guess they slightly burnt a chicken piece so that was probably why I tasted the oil flavor or maybe it was an old wok they used. But all in all, the pad thai was good. I wish it camed with more bean sprouts but it is still good. My boyfriend tried the duck in tamarind sauce. In this dish, there were slices of duck breast over a bed of bamboo shoots, bell peppers, snow peas, and mushrooms. It was pretty good and had a sweet savory sauce. I wished it came with rice though. We had to order a small bowl of rice. I guess the food was okay. Good. I have had better but I would eat here again. It's a bit pricey though, but tasty. Good service too. Clean. read more

Food: 1.) Tom yum goong - This place puts in young coconut flesh which I enjoyed. Although it lacked the depth of strong flavor I'd come to expect from tom yum goong. This was pretty light for my taste. Not enough fish sauce and spices. They put in the right amount of coconut milk but by far, Similans/Brown Sugar still takes the cake as best tom yum goong in my book. 2.) Paradise Noodle - Stir-fried green noodles with egg, shrimp, scallops, squid, mushroom and vegetables. This was pretty good. The sauce is similar to what you'd find in pad see ew. There is a good helping of seafood and good flavor. The noodles themselves are the vege lomein style you can get from local asian market. Ambiance/environment: 1.) Casual settings, many small tables and well lit area. 2.) Parking is street and you'll have to drive around. I found 1hr parking near the post office on same street. Beware you have to park in the designated 1hr spots as there are 15min only spots right next to it. read more

Called in an order for delivery at 6:15 -- finally arrived at 7:50. The order was 'out for delivery' for over 45 minutes.

We got takeout yesterday at Tom Yum Koong and it was delicious! I got drunken noodles which is pretty standard at Thai restaurants and it had just the right amount of heat. My wife got Pad Thai and I had some of hers and it was pretty good as well. Overall, I would recommend Tom Yum Koong ifv you're looking for a good Thai restaurant. read more

My s.o. and I love Thai food. We eat it often. We decided to try Tom Yum Koong again after a 2 year hiatus. Consensus: underwhelming. Scallion pancakes: lacking flavor, lacking scallions. Dipping sauce was good. Basil fried rice: asked for extra spicy, came extra bland. Seemed to lack actual basil flavor, and some of the vegetables that were listed. Drunken noodles: normally one of my favorite Thai dishes. I did not taste the hot basil flavor at all, and there were a ton of veggies and not a lot of noodles. My favorite thing about Thai food is the robust and complex flavors. We hope TYK can make some adjustments so we can order again in the future! read more
