"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 some speakeasy in Davis Square. The line moves fast, though, and so does service once you’re inside. Focus on the “street 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 khamp, a.k.a. fried whole shrimp over crispy wonton strips 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
