"We stopped by Prik Nam Pla in Somerville and it was fantastic from start to finish. We ordered the chicken soup, crispy pork soup, and kapow chicken stir fry — every dish was packed with flavor, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. The soups were rich and comforting, and the crispy pork stayed unbelievably crisp even in broth (a small miracle). The kapow chicken stir fry had just the right amount of heat and depth — the kind of dish you keep going back to long after you’re full. On top of the great food, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly — the kind where you feel like they’re happy you came in. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for Thai food that feels both authentic and elevated."

"It was a rainy Saturday morning, desperate for carbs and sustenance. We sat down in the best Thai restaurant in all of Greater Boston. And honestly, I'm fr fr, this place truly NEVER misses. It is so damn good. Best little Thai cafe in town. Makes my day, my week, my month even. Always gotta come here when we're in town."

"Originally only got some mango sticky rice for take out but when I went in, the restaurant smelled so good. I ended up getting the red curry as well and it was perfectly spicy and sweet. One of the best curries I have ever had and good serving size with decent amount of meat. Will be coming back for more soon!"

"Quite glad I found this Thai place. As an Asian, I’m a sucker for good authentic Thai food. Had the Pad Thai and it was awesome. Not too sweet, and the shrimp that came with it was nice and juicy. I also very thankfully ordered a side of fried pork, which was deep fried fresh - this is a def must try. Only bummer was that it doesn’t come with any dipping sauce. The lady at the counter mentioned that I ought to try the curry noodles next time, and I’d sure be back with some friends to try it out."

"Updated April 23, 2025 lunch specials are still good and only a little more money. The veggie dumplings are noticeably smaller but I understand costs are soaring for ingredients so sympathize. Updated photos for the same dishes below are now served in trays vs in bowls a year ago. The long counter is gone and have been replaced by tables which is better. I still recommend this place. Great food and service. Lovely service and mostly authentic Thai cuisine. The lunch specials are a great deal at $12.95 for entree and appetizer. We had red curry with chicken and masaman curry. Both had great heat and spices. The most delicious part of the meal was the appetizer. We skipped the gyoza option (not Thai) and had what they called vegetable dumpling. The server explained it rarely is offered in a restaurant but is Thai. I forget the Thai name despite asking her twice what it was. I wanted to research it ao I could learn how to make it. It’s not really a dumpling but more like a triangular crispy puff of green veg and something soft. Terrible description but you will need to order it and see for yourself. Great place."
