Kapow Thai Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
staff were very very friendly and welcoming! came two days in a row!!! they gave me and my friend free dessert (:
I stopped in after work for dinner and will be coming back again! Clean restaurant and helpful staff. I am lactose intolerant and the man that took my order gave me alternative to the Thai ice tea and it was delicious! I ordered a Som Tom salad and it was perfect , the right amount of spice and sweetness. Thank you!
Pi was awesome and super friendly. I have been here before but today I felt like the staff went above and beyond. I will certainly come back. I ordered the lunch special they have from 11am to 3pm. Basil fried rice and crab Rangoon was absolutely amazing. I was thinking about taking some home and ended up eating all lol.
We really enjoyed our food! The spice on the wings was really delicious, I would love to use it as an all purpose seasoning. Perfect spice and lime flavor. The stir fry was very good. The service was quick and attentive, very friendly. We are really glad we found this place on our visit to the area. Wish we lived nearby, we'd be regulars if we did.
We got 3 orders of take-out: 1 red curry, 1 green curry, and 1 Pad Thai. We loved the spices! I had the shrimp curry and was surprised at how many shrimp there were. And the prices were very reasonable I'm not sure when, but Kapow Thai has changed management. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Multiple times ordering Pod Kra Pow. Ridiculously good. Next level. Super fresh chicken & vegetables. Spicy. I’ve eaten a lot of this dish around Boston and this is now the best I’ve had. Hands down.
I got the Kua Kai, which I LOVED as it is flavorful but felt very light on the stomach. My husband got the Chicken Pad Thai which he hated, as it was sweet and had a very strong smoky flavor—tasted nothing like any Pad Thai either of us have ever had. The restaurant is small but cozy, and well lit & maintained. There's minimal seating, and most people just get it carry-out, but because of that it was a lovely quiet place for my husband & I to eat dinner together. The seating is by the window at the storefront and around the corner from the door--so we weren't getting heavily blasted by cold air every time someone came in. I came back for the Kua Kai not too long after taking this photo (this time as Takeaway) and my husband got the Kapow Fried Rice, which was good but spicy in a way that builds quicker than you think it would. Very yummy though.
My order Rangoon , Look chin , Tamarind Duck Kapow Kai Tod and roti I'm very delicious, every menu is delicious, I'll come back again.
