Tried it once and literally dying to go back with my friend. We both agreed that it was the best Pad Thai we ever had, and months later, I missed it so much! The other dishes were decent as well, I find the curry comforting.
Best raw shrimp in town. You can get anything on the menu and you can’t be disappointed.
This place is fantastic! I had a solo lunch and enjoyed the chicken rice with ginger sauce and a side of broth. The whole dining experience was just 30 minutes. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. I’ll be back again, for sure.

The Laughing Monk Cafe offers authentic and delicious Thai cuisine, perfect for spicy food enthusiasts. Each dish boasts a unique taste, making it a great spot for those seeking more than just plain pad thai. The restaurant is small but comfortable for small groups, though expect a wait as it is often busy. Highlights include crispy chicken, perfect noodles, fresh veggies, flavorful crab Rangoon, and amazing chicken satay. The Tom Yum soup is hearty and sour, complemented well by seasoned Pork Belly skewers. The pad thai has a great smoky flavor, while the Larb with fish is phenomenal - crispy, crunchy, and with a hint of spice. Rice noodles with crispy pork belly and liver are a must-try for noodle lovers. Thai tea is also a delightful option, not too sweet. Located in Allston, the restaurant is accessible via public transportation and offers casual dining. Prices are reasonable for Boston.
