" I had high expectations due to the great reviews and while the food was good, I felt some dishes fell a bit short. The Pad Thai was decent but not remarkable, and the Boat Noodles were a touch too sweet for my taste. The service, however, was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful. It’s a good place, just maybe try a few different dishes than what I did! Might still give another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Dakzen and it was an incredible experience! The Khao Soi was superbly flavorful with just the right level of spice. I loved the crunchy noodle topping; it added great texture to the creamy coconut broth. The portion size was quite generous, especially for the price. The service was fast and attentive, making the overall experience enjoyable. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Dakzen a few times now and it gets better each time! The Khao Soi has consistently been my favorite dish due to its rich and fragrant broth. The service is also excellent; the staff is always so welcoming and speedy. It can get quite busy, so I recommend visiting during off-peak times. Fantastic place for authentic Thai street food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dakzen offers a unique take on Thai cuisine without heavily Americanized flavors. The appetizer options like fried wontons and Gui Chai Tod are delightful. My main dish, Khao Soi was amazing, but I wish there were more protein in it. The environment is relaxed, though the seating area is small. Overall, it’s a solid spot for good Thai meals. I will be back to try more options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard great things about Dakzen, and thankfully, it lived up to the hype! Tried their Boat Noodles and Khao Soi, and both were absolutely delicious. I was a bit surprised at how quickly the food arrived; the service was outstanding. The only downside is the limited seating, which makes it feel a little squeeze during busy evenings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally had the chance to try Dakzen after hearing rave reviews, and I must say I am a fan! I ordered the Khao Soi and it was one of the most flavorful bowls I've had. The spice level was perfect for my taste! The indoor seating is a bit limited, which can get crowded, but the food is worth it. Definitely returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is truly one of the best Thai spots around! The boat noodles were just exquisite - rich broth and fantastic toppings. However, my friend was not a fan of their dessert options. But honestly, I came for the noodles and they certainly did not disappoint. I would recommend going early or during non-peak hours for a smoother experience as the restaurant is small and fills up fast. " (*Curated Review*)
