Dakzen

Thai restaurant · Somerville

"On the weekends, Dakzen has a longer line than the Dunkin’ near your office at 8:55am on a Monday. Deservedly so, because it’s the best spot in the neighborhood for Thai food before heading to a speakeasy in the neighborhood. The line moves fast, though, and so does service once you’re inside. Focus on the snacks section—there’s bouncy rook chin tod, which are delightfully chewy fried mixed-meat meatballs served with a sweet-and-savory sauce, and crunchy goong ma kham, a.k.a. fried whole shrimp over crispy noodles that soak up the dish’s savory-sweet tamarind sauce. They also do some of the better pad thai (not too sweet) and spicy khao gra pow in town." - lala thaddeus
