Dakzen

Somerville’s Dakzen is one of the more authentic Thai joints around. The focus is on street-style noodles prepared fresh and fast, just like in Thailand. Flavors are bold and often fiery, with funky ingredients you might otherwise overlook on other menus. The spicy tom yum noodle soup—packed with fish cake, fish ball, ground pork, dried shrimp, and more—is a highlight, as is a tasty version of the Northern Thai classi khao soi .
