I moved up here to the Boston area 5 years ago, and had difficulty since then in finding a Thai place that was as good as my favorite place from near my home town.

The portions were very generous (I ate almost half before remembering to take a picture) and I had a lot of really good chicken. They made it extra spicy for me and it was perfect.
My boyfriend's pad thai was also delicious, he said there was a lot more shrimp than expected.
We have this place on the list to stop by during our next visit- it's a bummer we don't live closer or this would be...
