Equator

It’s one of the best Thai restaurants in the South End. Consistently friendly staff, take-​out order takes 10 – 15 minutes even at peak hour. Don’t be lazy and pick it up — otherwise you’ll be waiting for awhile. The Chicken Satay is awesome.

It was ok food not bad. was delivered hot in cold weather.

Really good pad Thai, crab dumplings, and curry! It has a nice interior atmosphere with lots of tables and booths, and even a bar. I’ve ordered takeout and eaten at the restaurant, and the quality was great both times. Service is pretty quick for both. My pad Thai takeout came to about $ 11, but it’s easily two full meals, so you’ll have leftovers. Now I’m getting really hungry for pad Thai writing this…
It’s a really convenient location on Washington and Mass Ave, so it’s perfect for BMC employees and BU med school students. I’ll definitely be back!

Venue:
Nice décor, clean, and comfortable sit down restaurant
Food:
I’ve eaten here for 3 years. I loved generally everything I’ve had: yellow curry, pad see ew, pad thai, pineapple fried rice, etc. It’s all good and the portions are good.
Service:
Good and fast. I usually do take out.
Would I go here again? I’ve been becoming for years. The only drawback is that for it being Thai food, the price is a bit high but it’s South End…

This is a very good Thai place, always happy when i go there. They get 4 out of 5 stars because of the price and their padthai which sucks. Their pad thai is not consistent, sometime too sweet and sometime way too bland. Also the food can be pricey for the amount and quality.
However their Pad See Eew, Spicy noodles, Equator Fried rice, Crab Rangoon, Chicken satay and Money Bags are really really good there. I usually get the Pad See Eew and the chicken satay. One downside is they use regular broccoli which sucks as Chinese broccoli is way better in pad see eew.
Its not the best thai place in the city but its pretty good for the South End. I can recommend it.

My co-​worker and I have been coming here for years. Service is always consistently friendly and food is delicious. We just stopped by today for a quick lunch before heading to Logan. They bent over backwards to accommodate us.
I’ve been to Thailand twice, Vietnam and India. Their red curry rocks! It is the best I have had in the US and several places in Thailand! I tried most of the curries but I like the red version because of the vegetables — especially the fresh eggplant. The red curry also has a nice spicy kick – the green one is too mild for me. My co-​worker found a new favorite with shrimp ginger. I think I need to try lemongrass chicken next time I’m there!
I’m very fussy about chicken. I trust them implicitly with it. They pound and cut chicken nicely and there are never any gross chewy parts. Always white meat too! Yay!
The portions are just right. I hate a huge amount of food being served… I’m satisfied but not uncomfortably full.
In the summer — they have nice seating outside too. Highly recommend this place :)

Solid take out experience. A piping hot cluster of piquant Drunken Noodles, well-​cooked shrimp, ample shrimp and crisp veggies for $ 12 makes for an enticing meal and a half, and was ready to sack in 15 minutes. The complete dish was nowhere near as heavy as take-​out Thai is expected to be, and the al dente noodles did not gum up under steamy temps.
Pass on the $ 5 Tom Yum, which amounts to a cup of lemongrassy tomato water with fresh sliced mushrooms and two shrimps. No depth, no integration of flavors. Just a rush version of the tangy, spicy soup.
I don’t see myself taking advantage of the dining room, and by the looks of the vacant booths, the MO is takeout or delivery. Ain’t mad atcha — they do it better than many!

Great pad thai that’s relatively medium dinner portion. Their chili paste sauce is the best in boston though!

Thai food is my favorite choice of cuisine and I was impressed. The pad Thai was flavorful and delicious. I also ordered the spring rolls and they were good but I’ve definitely had better. Overall it was a good experience and I will definitely be returning :)

I love this place for lunch!
My coworkers and I come here at least once a month. The food quality is great and it comes out fast, which is perfect for a quick lunch break.
I love their Drunken Noodles and it’s my go-​to item (make sure to ask for extra spicy, because even with the 2 pepper rating, it’s usually not very spicy). Other dishes I like are Basil, Green Curry, and the Spicy Combo.
Don’t forget to try out their Thai Iced Tea too! Both times I’ve gotten it, it came with a beautiful paper rose on top of my straw and it made my day :)

Came here for lunch and was in the mood for something spicy. so ordered the green curry (had 2 chili peppers, instead of 1). It wasn’t as spicy as I’d thought it’d be, but still very delicious. I thought the portion of meat to veggies was good. I like my vegetables in the curry to be slightly crunchy, and there was just the right amount of crunchiness in each bite. The consistency of the curry was great — not too watery (that’s the worst) and just the right amount sauce portion to eat with the rice. Promptly got seated, put in the order, and the food came out maybe 10 minutes later. Service is fast and very kind/​attentive! This is a great place for a quick lunch with friends or coworkers in the area with reasonable prices. I’ll be coming back to try their other dishes! 4 stars for now until I try their Pad Thai

Food was ok. Pad Thai had and Thai iced tea were bland. Food was also cold. Deserving of because restaurant clean.

This place is pretty awesome! I’ve never had any trouble with the services here, although I feel like there’s someone new each time I go lol. The food is very flavorful and yummy. I’ve always had a decent experience here. This place has pretty good pad Thai. The food here is reasonable priced. There’s is a variety of seating here, so they can accommodate both small groups and large groups of people. The dishes are always fresh and made very fast.
In this area, this is my favorite Thai place. They do deliver and I have always had good experiences with them. They’re my go to place whenever I am in the area studying. They are a bit more pricey than most
Thai places and about the same as House of Siam, but guess that’s what you get in the South End. I do love the décor here and there is lots of booth seating available. The restaurant always seems a bit empty, not sure why since he food here is great!

I do love Thai! I’ve visited here 5 times (before I Unilocaled consistently) and it’s one our go-​to spots as it’s close to home and we really enjoy their crab fried rice.
The pad Thai is just ok, but their appetizers and other entrees are pretty tasty. Wait staff is a hit or miss on some days. If you’re looking for a mixed drink, you’ll have to go to the sushi bar next door bc Equator won’t have it.
Great outdoor seating, but be mindful that you have a few people stopping by asking for money or you may see an adult male riding and frequently falling off a child’s scooter. Yea, this happened to us, but it wasn’t a big deal. We like this place and will be back!

Never been a disappointment, love the food. Great rangoons

Really good Thai food! Better than a lot of places in the inland empire. I will miss this place!

I haven’t had great Thai in a while, so this place was a treat! A couple of us had pad thai, a couple had drunken noodles, we shared a bowl of tom kha. All were delighted with their choices. The flavors were bold and artfully layered, the portions were just right, and the prices were very reasonable. The staff were the real gem. Our waitress even taught us how to make their straw paper roses. Would eat here over and over.

This review is only based on take-​out experiences. Overall, the food is fine for the typical Thai comforts (green curry, pad thai), but potentially a bit hit or miss with the others. I’ve tried their shrimp salad and it was too lemongrassy…
The 3 star is mostly due to their attitude on the phone when we ordered. While they have never gotten the orders wrong, I would appreciate if I didn’t feel like I was being yelled at by an impatient host.
On a side note, the restaurant itself looks pretty nice and cozy for sitting in

I’d give this place 3.5 stars based on my lunch experiences here. They get the food out pretty quickly after you order and this helps when you need to get back to work around the area.
I’ve had their drunken noodle with chicken and pad thai (comes with shrimp and chicken). The drunken noodle was nicely flavored and it’s definitely better than other Thai places I’ve had in Boston. It’s like the flavor was very infused into the noodles. The pad thai was also delicious with bold flavors, but both times I felt that the portions were just too small… I mean, I was expecting a little more food on my plate but I guess it’s normal size for Boston.
Overall it’s a pretty solid place for Thai with bold flavors and lunch specials start at around $ 9

Average thai. Average atmosphere. Average price. I mean this is just your average thai restaurant in the neighborhood.
My vegetarian drunken noodles hit the spot– but it doesn’t wow me. In addition, I asked for spicy but it was more like a medium. All and all, I would come here if I lived around the corner. But there are plenty if thai restaurants in Boston.
