Poy's Kitchen Thai Lao cuisine — Restaurant in Newton

Ordered pad thai with beef. The noodles needed probably another minute to be cooked to slighter softer texture. The dish was too sweet, soaked with sweet sauce, way too much. But the worst part was beef. Definitely not fresh beef, had smell of beef that already started to spoil. Probably the worst pad thai I ever tried. I could not finish noodles and after chewing a piece of beef that was not fresh I got really concerned if I will get sick. My husband had pad ke mao with beef- same there, beef was started to spoil, but was cooked and put for us. Ugh. The waitress was very nice however and offered a replacement which we refused. I know one thing- we not coming back. Its a shame because we like Thai food and they have...

The first thing you smell is a stale odor of the restaurant. Old building, old carpets, probably not too much cleaning. The restaurant was dark, old, and not very appealing. What I ordered was surprisingly good. Tum yum soup, tasty. Green curry chicken, tasty but very little chicken. Wife ordered beef salad, very little beef. What came was more of a relish than a salad. Should have come with a bowl of rice. Fairly tasty. Both dishes had very little meat, small portions. Pork dumplings were japanese shumai, although very dense but tasty. The shrimp roll was a shrimp wrapped in a wonton wrapper and deep fried. Just OK. Having said that, the prices were very reasonable, so portion size may have been in line...

Very disappointed with the quality of the food. It appeared that they were skimping on both protein ( (chicken and shrimp)and the assortment of vegetables to save money. Everything was loaded with only onions(cheap staple) and hardly any chicken in the soup and not any other vegetable except literally 2 pieces of mushroom. Noodle dish was inedible. Sprinkled with some kind of chili pepper that didnt belong. We threw it out. I was embarressed in front of company for Mother's Day. My fault for trying this place for the first time with company. Prices were very expensive considering we got nothing resembling good Thai food. Skimping to save money on the restaurant's end was VERY noticable. Will never return...
