THAI ROOTS. BOSTON SOUL.

ALL ABOUT THAT
CHICK & SAUCE.

What Da Chick is a Thai chicken-and-rice restaurant near Arsenal on the Charles in Watertown, Massachusetts. A focused menu, a bright yellow storefront, and a chicken you won’t forget.

THAI ROOTS, LOCAL HEART

A TASTE OF THAILAND IN WATERTOWN.

It started with four partners and one clear idea: give Thai chicken and rice the spotlight. Sarun Arreerad, originally from Thailand, brought experience from Thai Bar Shi in Weymouth. The team built a small, focused menu around the comfort of Khao Man Gai — Thai Hainanese-style chicken rice.

SERIOUSLY GOOD CHICKEN

SIMPLE DISH. SO MUCH TO LOVE.

Poached, crispy, spicy, or roasted: four ways to find your favorite chick. Fragrant ginger rice and clear daikon soup complete the plate. Try signature sauce, sweet chili, spicy lime, or lime tamarind, depending on your chicken. Find your plate on the menu.

GOOD FOOD, GOOD VIBES

SMALL SPOT. BIG WELCOME.

Look for the yellow storefront and playful chicken at 1A Crawford Street. Bring friends for a family-size combination, crispy wings, and Thai iced tea, Thai coffee, or hibiscus roselle juice. Casual, colorful, and made for sharing. Come find us in Watertown.
