This restaurant is excellent; he service is great and the food is great and comes out fast. The owner and, I believe her son, waited and chatted with me while I ate and gave me great recommendations. The best part, however, is that it also has the BEST dessert menu, including the BEST mango sticky rice I have had since Thai II closed near Times Square in NYC. Also on the menu are Thai pumpkin custard (I havent tried this yet but I am sure it will compare to that of Thai II in NYC which was FANTASTIC). In addition, the dessert menu has a black rice pudding (cant remember the fancy name for it) which I am eager to try as well. There was ice cream as well as a few other things. The prices were comparable to that of other Thai restaurants (about $12-$15 for a dinner that is enough to take a little home and eat as a snack) and there is a cheaper lunch menu that I havent tried. The owner waited on me personally and made sure everything exceeded expectations. I live and work in Lexington, but will definitely make the drive out to Chelmsford occasionally for this exceptional treat. ***It is a bit hard to find because it is located in an historic building, so they cant put up a big sign or lights, but rest assured, the Google location is correct; you just may have to park and walk around to see it because chances are youll miss it as you drive by it on the road.*** GO EAT! You wont regret it. Youll go back for more!

Food was tasty -- though rather salty. Service not good. My wife ordered a dish with shrimp but was served chicken, and they had to re-do the order. I can chalk that up to a language problem perhaps. But I ordered a dish that came with either chicken or pork, I ordered it with pork, and was delivered the dish with chicken and told "Were out of pork, is this OK?" I didnt mind eating the chicken so I took it, but if a restaurant is out of something they ought to come back to the customer and say "Were out of that. Would you like to order something else?", not make them wait, give them something else and ask "Is this OK?" That is, as they, just wrong. I wont be going back any time soon.

This is our new favorite Thai restaurant. I have made it my goal to try just about everything on the menu and I havent been disappointed yet. We love all the appetizers, entrees and desserts that weve tried. The best part is, the service is absolutely outstanding. Your tea cup will never be empty or cold and the waiter is always happy to offer suggestions or talk about the food. You can tell that they really try to make their customers happy. Also, the inside is very cozy and it is so nice that they dont have a tv (so many places do and I find it very annoying)! Lastly, we have never been charged 15% gratuity on our bill, so I dont know what "wetlips" is talking about.

I eat here quite often. The food is always excellent. My favorites include the Hot and Crazy Noodles and the Classic Salmon. The food is always fresh and very flavorful. I dont get these dishes as hot as they can make them. The have plenty of dishes that arent spicy. For my zero spicy days, I like their Chicken n’ Broccoli. I have yet to be disappointed by anything from this restaurant.

The best Thai chef and very competent wait staff. I lived in Bangkok for three years and I can say the entire menu rivals the best offered in Thailand. Prices are reasonable and servings especially generous. I highly recommend Chef Talk-ta and May for a very authentic Thai experience. The wall trappings are authentic as well and the background Thai music adds to the mellow ambiance. PA

Rarely do I take the time to do this but a poor review is warranted. Poor delivery policy. When I asked about delivery, I received a hesitant answer. Then I was asked how many orders I would be placing (3 entrees) only to be told that they have a $55 minimum which does not include a delivery charge (seems fair) and 15% service charge (say what?!). Yeah Right. Never.

Food is okay. I dont think Scott has been to too many Thai places. An order of white rice and vegetable curry cost 14.65. Took me a while to figure it out until I noticed that they charge a 15% gratuity whether or not you eat in or take out. Thats a new one on me. I have eaten Thai food all over the US and this one is average at best. "Quite magical," what a joke.

Omgness!! The food here is amazing!! Be good to your mouth and eat here. Im not kidding the flavors in the food are so very delicious. My friend and I ordered the mango curry and added shrimp with a side of white rice, she ordered the classic salmon with a side of brown rice and let me tell you..we were in heaven. Eat here!!

I moved to Chelmsford 3 years ago and have been in search of a good Thai food restaurant like I was used to in Boston. This place was so good Im not even finished with my food yet, I just had to share how amazing it tastes. As a side note I never do these rating things; thats how impressed I am with their food

Service is extremely slow, it is staffed by only one person in the front. Didnt get water or attention for 10 minutes after sitting down. The dumplings were definately straight out of a bag. Only upside of the restaurant is the parking outside. Eat lunch elsewhere.

Love this place. Its not much to look at from the outside, but once you enter, the golden walls, art and dark wood furniture are quite magical and Thai. Food is wonderful. Try the Tom Yoong Koog, Pad That (ordered spicy) and Thai Iced Tea.

Excellent service, lovely presentation, reasonably good Thai food. I came in near closing time and they were just as polite and helpful to me as they would be to the first customer. They happily customized a dish for me as well.

Very expensive compare to the quantity and quality. Restaurant was hot without AC. I have been served warm water without ice. The food quantity was not enough for dinner for one. Food is OK.

Food is always fresh and tasty - strangely its almost always empty. The parking lot is hard to get to through a silly intersection.

Great Thai food. Just two things I wish theyd change: add kang kai to the menu, and open on Sundays.
