“This was our first time visiting The Bangkok and it will NOT be our last! We decided to be complete fat@$$es — I mean adventurous — and delved into the small plates. If you are a person of small appetite, 1-2 small plates is enough for you (we did not stop there!). For apps/small plates, we shared the veggie crispy rolls and curry roti (fried scallion pancake). The rolls were perfectly crisp without being oily with a healthy side of pickled carrots and radish over lettuce and sweet/sour dipping sauce. The roti was served hot and crispy with a soft lemongrass soup sauce. Amazing! My carnivorous spouse added a small plate of ribs, too; she describes the ribs as “good.” In more elaborate details the curry on top tasted of a savory scallion and red beans that fit nicely with the meat of the ribs that fell from the bones (may the poor cow’s soul rest in peace).Moving onto entrees, I have a habit of testing Thai restaurants with tofu red curry. This was a healthy portion — too much to handle in one sitting — was a New England American (white people) spicy 5:10 after asking for extra spicy, luckily there was chili oil on the tables for additional spice. Anyway, the curry was creamy, not watery and had a beautiful mix of beans, red peppers, bamboo, tofu, pea pods, and chunks of eggplant, plus a side of rice. I would definitely get it again!Partner in murdering Thai food today got khao soi noodle dish that had a light yellow curry spicy (caliente) sauce with noodles, scallion, greens, herbs, vegetables, and a whole freaking chicken leg grass in a lemon grass coconut sauce, which I’m told tasted amazing. Again, God rest that chicken soul. We finished off fat@$$fest with the mango sticky rice. Well, the taste was impeccable with the just perfectly ripen mangoes, I would suggest just slightly more coconut sauce, but keep in mind I am an Asian American, not an Asian Asian.The service was wonderful and each of the people serving us was on top of our table without being overbearing. And the best part was for all of that we spent around $66 without tip. I highly recommend if you are in the Melrose area and really looking for some authentic, delicious Thai food.“
“Red Sugar Cafe is my favorite Thai food restaurant I go to. I order from them once almost every 2-3 weeks. I recommend it to all of my family and friends. The owners are incredibly nice and amazing cooks. I could only say positive and great things about this placeDietary restrictions: They honor all of my dietary restrictions including tree nutsParking: Few spots right out front“
“Kung Pao chicken, oh my glob they have the perfect spice level on this. Just enough to tingle the mouth and make the nose run. Everything is freshly cooked up, excellently priced, but I just want to encourage you to check out the Kung Pao Chicken. Garlic heavy on the vegetables, which may not appeal to you but if you love garlic you're in heaven.“
“My wife and I recently moved to the Salem area and we were looking for a good Chinese restaurant and I asked some of my coworkers what they would suggest I try and they said try eighty-eight "it's the best stuff around." Omg, I have never had Chinese this good. This is everything done right. The shrimp are more like prawns, the vegetables are fresh, not frozen and the rice is so soft and fluffy.Highly recommend this place if you are tired of overly greasy been frozen for months tasting food and try this amazing place.“
