My favorite stop for Thai food in Boston

by lioness47

Located on Boston University's campus, this restaurant isn't much to look at inside, but the food and prices can't be beat. I used to eat here way more often than I should (I LOVE NOODLES, but too many carbs) when I went to BU. I lived about 20 feet away and would run to Nud Pob in my pajamas in the snow. They give you lots of food and most dishes are under $10. If you like noodles, try the Star Noodles. My favorite dish was the pineapple fried rice. I live in Thai Town now in Los Angeles, and I can't find any Thai food that's as good as Nud Pob. The people are friendly and are all Thai, including the cooks, so you know you're getting the real thing. Free hot thai tea while you wait. Can eat inside, but dining area is really just folding tables and chairs, so don't expect much of an ambience. Usually pretty crowded. Expect to wait in line behind a few people for takeout.

• Pros: Great food. Low prices. Fast service. REAL Thai food (not americanized).
• Cons: Not much ambience. Dining area folding tables and chairs.
