Eat and Go Shopping
First it was a Thai grocery. Then they started to serve food. Now, new tables have crowded the grocery items into a small part of the operation. I hope they don't disappear entirely; for me, being surrounded by exotic groceries while eating food prepared from some of them has a strange kind of charm.

The food is not all that different from a number of "lower-end" Thai places that are springing up around Boston and Brookline these days, but it also tries to dress up the food just a little. It's not as fancy as some of the old guard, but you do get table service, and some more complex dishes. I recommend whatever is on the specials board, as these dishes tend to be more unusual. You can eat Pad Thai anywhere (though Dok Bua does a nice job with this standard too), why not try something different?

Service can be a little scattered, and the ambiance is obviously nothing fancy, but you're not paying black-tie prices either. Dok Bua delivers a taste of the exotic for a very reasonable price.    [02 May 2003 16:02:41]

Food, With Lowest Opportunity Cost and Highest Benefits!
I tried the beef and broccoli with rice and ate the whole large dish all by myself, the pad Thai's etc. were great. But I like the Thai ice tea the best.    [07 May 2003 21:53:41]

So Good
Rather than some dingy kitchen in the back, all the food is cooked at a visible grill, by native Thai people... The pad Thai and Thai iced tea will always be my favorite, it's definitely the best I've ever had!!    [18 Dec 2003 18:58:54]

Wonderful
I love this place! I have never had better Thai food and the staff is extremely nice. The raw papaya salad may be the best thing I have ever eaten. Period. The pad-ki-mow is excellent. It will take a while, but I plan to try everything on the menu.    [12 Jan 2006 00:18:20]
