Khao Hom Billerica

For some reason, I thought that Khao Hom Thai & Pho in Billerica was only open for dinner. On a whim, I called them yesterday and found out that they are open normal hours. This is a very small place run by some exceptionally nice people, and the food is outstanding. You want spicy, they do that, but they also do flavors, so it's not just spicy. Try their Pad Thai, it the real deal. The locals complained that the Pad Thai wasn't right. It's right and delicious, and this is from someone that gave up ordering Pad Thai in restaurants. It's not supposed to be sweet.

The town of Billerica handed out signs to all restaurants. "The dining room is closed. Only takeout and drive through".

A favorite here is the Khao Soi with duck, but I wasn't sure how the noodles would travel, so I went with the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) ($7.95) with pork. It had plenty of heat and plenty of pork. The pork was a tad dry but still good. Ordering it extra spicy here gives you freshly sliced chilis. This was a really good rendering of a classic dish, not to mention that it was easily two meals. Folks, give them some support and as a reward, you will get some of the best Thai food around.
