Tom Yum Koong Restaurant — Restaurant in Medford

What I love about this place is its versatility. If you want a quick takeout, more mainstream American Thai dish, they do it. But if you want to be kicked in the butt with authentic Thai flavors, they also do that. I just ordered a simple basil udon this time because I was craving stir fried udon with seafood after a stressful doctor’s appointment 🙃 Food came out piping hot, scallops and shrimp were fresh and tender.

Period. Some few of our favorites: Panang, Massaman and Green curries, we prefer them on the spicier side; Papaya salad; Fried Basil Tofu;...

Amazing experience. We decided to come here before a show at the Chevalier and they did not disappoint! Service was quick, kind, and attentive. Our food came very quickly (probably less than ten minutes) although keep in mind there were only two of us and there was only one other couple in the restaurant. The food was delicious - the tofu was crispy and the sticky rice was amazing. My partner got the drunken noodles with the crispy chicken and said the spice was just right and very delicious. The portions were also quite large in our opinion (I got the tofu appetizer for my meal and I was stuffed afterwards with the rice). Overall we had a great experience and I would definitely recommend it, especially for people going to see a show at...
