“ve ever had and huge portions of everything unlike 99% of other Thai places Who cares if this places lacks decor, are you ordering wall paper as your meal?”
“price is reasonable given that we ordered 3 mains, 1 appetizer, 1 soup, and opened a bottle of wine.”
“King & I is very authentic!”
“everything i've tried on the menu has been superb.”
“friend told me this is his favorite Thai restaurant and now it's mine!”
“awful service.”

Disappointing food. Very disappointing experience. The dish I chose was scorchingly hot, probably indicating that it had not been made to order, but pre-prepared and microwaved instead. The curry sauce was like a tasteless broth with no hint of fresh spices. The rice was obviously precooked, rather than freshly steamed.…
One of the best Thai restaurant in town. got a pad thai togo here last week and it's great. I ordered a beef salad and I ate to the last piece. The beef was so tender and cooked to your order. The place is nice and clean, but it's small. You can't have a big group party here and would bother others if you make so much noise. It's ideal to order out, I think.…
Keep walking.... I was in the Beacon Hill area and in the mood for Thai. I went alone and watched my ipod, and just was not impressed. Ambience is lacking, and really feels like a hole in the wall - with prices that are too high for the environment. There really is no other restaurants that close to the MGH area - but really, if you truly like Thai - look elsewhere - if you are in the area its worth taking a cab anywhere else. Average and below average thai. I had the pad thai and thai rolls, and was not impressed at all. Worcester has better hole in the wall takeout places with such a higher quality of food.…
average.
appetizers: coconut chicken soup is good too. satay... i personally like penang's better. the chicken here is not grilled enough (i.e. looks pale) and the peanut sauce is a bit on the watery side.
mains: pad thai and pad see you (broad rice noodle w/choice of meat) are on par. my friend had a pork tenderloin main course that has gone well beyond expectations on portion: 5 small slices of pork w/heaps of mushroom.
price is reasonable given that we ordered 3 mains, 1 appetizer, 1 soup, and opened a bottle of wine.
w/all thai & malaysian restaurants out there, i wouldn't go back specifically for the food, but i certainly wouldn't mind going again if i'm in the area.
parking on charles street always seems daunting to me. but that week night we went, around 7:30pm, there were plenty of spots at this end of the street.

Great Thai Food and Good Portions. In a city where ethnic restaurants are few and far between (especially Thai) this place is one of my favorite in the city. I?m originally from DC where Thai restaurants are as common as Starbucks and when I first moved here I unfortunately had to toil through the few Thai places that Boston has I found King and I. They have the best Pad Thai I?ve ever had and huge portions of everything unlike 99% of other Thai places Who cares if this places lacks decor, are you ordering wall paper as your meal?? Two thumbs up for King and I. If you go for lunch get there when they open the place fills up to full capacity very quickly.…
