5 stars. From the hostess seating us to the extremely pleasant watergirl to our fabulous and knowledgeable waiter it was top notch. We had a brown suger Colada which was awesome and had a nice kick. Then came the food- spectacular! Hot,fresh large portions and incredibly tasty. Sunday nights they also have a wonderful jazz pianist. Coming back next month!

Made a review online for 1/3/23 @7:15pm for it to be accepted by Google Assistant. Place was lit up so my party walked in to find it completely abandoned. All that remained was a child sitting on a couch. I called out seeking assistance to see a woman in the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen to see a sweet Asian lady and her husband. The couple informed me the restaurant was closed and they were hired as a cleaning crew. 10/10 cleaning staff. We loved them. 0/10 restaurant experience as there was no food.

This place takes forever to get the food ready. Consistently takes an hour or more to get takeout ready. Tonight it took 1.5hrs past their estimate. No apologies or accomodations. We will not order again. Poorly managed to say the least.

Very tasty authentic Thai cuisine. Better to point out what you want rather than ordering in Thai unless you know for sure.Vegetarian options: Order with tofu instead of meat or veg only selection.Parking: Some on street and spaces behind.

Ate here twice while in Newburyport, I was not disappointed. Friendly staff, live music, and vegan options are among the many reasons I will not hesitate to dine here again!

A favorite. Amazing service. Lots of choices on the menu. The only thing we'd change is the music ( ughhh). So very loud and jazz. If the volume was lower it would be much more enjoyable or better yet turn on a sound track. Even our younger family members think the music is TOO loud. Have gone elsewhere on occasion due to the music.

One of our favorite Thai restaurants (before/after a walk on the beach, of course). Easy menu for a vegan, vegetarian, and/or GF.

Good drunken noodles and pad Thai. More Thai dishes than the Poynt. Although the drunken noodles were salty even for

Went in for lunch on a Saturday morning.The service here was outstanding. We were able to discuss menu with staff and after making our order food came out in a timely manner.The Thai basil I ordered was a bit too saucy for my liking that and the taste.we’re different from what I’m used to which is why I gave a 5. We also ordered a salad but they forgot it. Didn’t make a fuss because well we got full from the other items.I would go back to try more menu items.

Not that good. It's a fantastic location but the food is not that good. It tastes like it's been reheated in a microwave
