“My aunt is Thai and once I moved to Boston she implored I visit for authentic Thai food! This is the most reminiscent of authentic Thai food like I used to get when I visited!! Cannot recommend this enough!!! Basil fried rice and massaman curry are incredible!!!“
“Some of the best Thai food I have ever had. The fried chives were so good. The curries were so different and delicious. The shrimp and pomelo salad along with the green papaya was tasty. They have a bar opening soon and I can wait to check it out!Vegetarian options: Quite a few options to make things vegetarian or that are vegetarian.“
“The food at this place is delicious, and they offer items which a lot of other nearby restaurants do not. I have gotten take out and eaten there, and I have enjoyed both experiences. If I had to choose one thing that I disliked about this restaurant, it would be that I wish more of their delivery options could be made without sugar/palm sugar.“
“Feel like something's changed in the past year or so. The food doesn't seem as cared for and has lost some of it's charm. not sure if just a bad day or if the chef has changed but other way feeling a little sad. still tasty but not the WOW it was “
“It was an enjoyable lunch overall. The wait initially between placing an order and the appetizers coming out was a bit long but once the appetizers came out, the rest of the meal came out quickly too, with generous portions. All three of us left VERY full and barely could finish the three noodle soups and two appetizers!“
“We were excited to try this Thai restaurant after seeing its high ratings. The food and service did not disappoint. The owner is friendly and welcoming; she made us feel at home. I enjoyed the pad thai with vegetables. It came with a nice sauce and fresh vegetables including green beans, zucchini, broccoli, and carrots. The noodles were extremely fresh and had great consistency. My husband got the beef and macadamia nuts. The beef was tender and well-cooked without being fatty at all. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are great. I look forward to returning to this restaurant.“
“Very good local Thai place. They have a small-medium menu, but they do it very well.I think everyone, including myself, was surprised when we walk in and get greeted by a very *enthusiastic* staff :).Going to try more of their menu but their pad thai is amazing. Big portion, and super saucy, so if you like less of a 'dry' pad thai, I'd definitely recommend it.They've also got a small market to buy some basic Thai staples if you're so inclined. I will probably try some of the Thai flavor lays next time I am there.“
“We made reservations online for the Omaska. It was $300 which broke down to $120 per person with tip and tax. The tables were perfectly space out. They gave us a 2 hour limit which was enough time for the 12 course Omaska. Presentation on everything was amazing. Each course was fresh and delicious in their own way. It was hard to hear the man over his mask so I couldn't get any names. We had uni, tuna belly, scallops, and more. All the Courses were small but packed with favor. You can take there was attention to detail in the ingredients and presentation. Definitely, worth the money was a special event like a birthday. Would definitely come back“
“Great Thai every time, will be back. The scallion pancakes are exceptional-- one of the best around for miles. The veggie pad Thai is also amazing, I went for lunch. Large portions on the pad Thai lasted 3 meals for me. Reasonable prices and decent ambience, kind and friendly service that doesn't miss anything. Try the Thai tea-- $2.50 and comes with a very cute tea cup and teapot!“
“If you’re in the area, this place is a MUST try. Our bellies were so happy & the service was phenomenal.We ordered the scallion pancake, pad thai, and thai ice tea. I enjoyed every bite of the crispy, flakey scallion pancake. Super yummy pad thai.Definitely will be back again. Thank you Bangkok Pinto “
“Everything was surprisingly delicious but what stood out compared to other Thai I’ve had around here was that everything tasted very fresh, like they got the vegetables today and made everything to order. Vegetables in a curry often get soft and overcooked but the green beans and peas still had that nice just cooked enough crunch. Yum! Will be back. Also, I always request no utensils or napkins when I get take out and it’s rarely followed but they did!“
“Crying Thaiger had a super cute atmosphere and the food was delicious. I got Thai iced coffee, fried tofu (the sauce was so good), and Pad Thai with Tofu. There were lots of vegetarian and gluten free options which was awesome. The servers were very friendly.Dietary restrictions: The menu was clearly marked for vegetarian, gluten free, and spice level for all of the items.“
“AMAZING little restaurant between Porter and Davis Sq. in the Somerville/ Cambridge area. The menu is straight forward, delicious and under $10! wonder why is full of millennial kids! The food quality is amazing. These guys have a small, very consistent and tasty menu. A good alternative to the former Roo Dee (Porter Sq.) I can't belive that I have been living in the area for so long without discovering this small but awesome restaurant. Chef Jose Barriga Cambridge Food Lab“
“Very nice sushi place. It is not very big, but had loads of small tables for two and four. I came at 7 o'clock on a Saturday and could only sit at the sushi bar itself (four seats) They had a nice set of sushi options, including an all salmon, sashimi and rolls.“
“We happened upon this place on a date night. The food was good. I had the Pad Thai and my husband liked the Tom Yum Pad Thai. Not much seating, but we had the whole place to ourselves as this seems to be mostly for take out. We will be back again!“
“YUM ? first of all, I lived in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a year and this place is pretty authentic. Love that they have northern dishes that a lot of Thai places don’t have on the menu. Loved Gai Yang, Khao khai jiao, and Chiang Mai noodle soup (Khao soi). Delivery is fast and they always include little foreign treats. This is my go to Thai spot :)“
“Tip: Usually good amount of street parking a nice ice cream place nearby for dessert.This place is definitely a must try if you like pho. I usually go to “pho viet” but honestly this place might be just as good or even better. Unfortunately I cannot say the ramen was as great as it was okay. But I would definitely come back to try another pho or even the Thai noodle soups. Price-flavored value is p good.“
“Amazing place. My girlfriend and I are regulars, the price and quality are just unmatched.The food is kind of a southeast Asian fusion. Honestly it's very unique and I haven't been to many restaurants that serve and pull of these kinds of flavors. Strongly recommend.Try their brunch menu. So cheap, but so, so good.“
“POSITIVE: Good hot and sour soup. Good lunch options (food quantity and price). NEGATIVE: 1 person took our order, another person delivered the food to our table. No one came to check if everything was ok, or offer water refill. Kung Pao chicken was more sweet than spicy. Would not order again. Crab rangoon was overcooked and hard to eat. Went during a Saturday lunchtime. Very few customers until close to end of lunch special time. On-street parking, so limited by time of day and other business customers on the same street. It's a little "hole in the wall" place; easy to miss. In all fairness, I would try it once more to see if other dishes are better.“
“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“
“Small place with some fantastic flavors! Really wasn't expecting the level of food and service we got when visiting. Everything from the dumplings to the drinks was special. Nice cozy place tucked away, but once you find it you need to become a regular!“
“(FYI - In all fairness, this is based on a single visit and two dishes)I was headed to a dumpling shop down the street when I just happened to park in front of this place. I was in the mood for hot noodley stuff from any part of Asia anyway, so this fit the bill with a much easier walk on a chilly day."Thai Street Food" suggested they probably had more going on than Pad Thai and Golden Bags. Knowing "Zaab" means something along the lines of "Wicked Tasty" I figured it was a safe bet.I quickly spotted the Yum Nam Tok: a semi-salad thing of grilled sliced pork tossed with onions, chiles and a lime-soy dressing. Sprinkled with toasted rice powder for crunch and aroma, it's a personal favorite. 9Zaab does a really great job with this dish. Generously sized as well, allowing me to push it aside for later, then keep picking at it until the next course without finishing it off.The big bowl of Ba Lee Moo Dang (and Fish Ball!) was next. Perfect choice on a half-sunny/half-cold day. The menu billed it as "The most famous Thai egg noodles"* and it had a couple of chile pepper symbols next to it. Most Famous at a place called Zaab! I was waiting to have my socks blown off.Didn't quite happen. The famous egg noodles were a big helping of instant ramen in a big bowl of mildly- oh so very mildly - seasoned broth. The BBQ pork slices were pretty much pink ringed slices of the Chinese Char-Siu take out variety. There were some decent dumplings as well as some very delicious fish balls. They did, however, leave off the cilantro & fried garlic as listed.Over all it was kinda non-zaab... It wasn't bad. There just wasn't much to talk about flavor-wise. I poured some of the Yum Nam Tok dressing into it and added some chiles. It all worked out.Staff is nice, the joint is immaculately clean and I'd definitely give it another visit.*Turns out, all the noodle soups on the menu begin with "the most famous Thai..."Vegetarian options: I don't think I've ever been to a Thai restaurant which wasn't half-vegetarian by default.Dietary restrictions: People allergic to Thai food may feel itchy.Parking: Cambridge Street in Cambridge. Easy(ish) street parking on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely more challenging during the week.“
“Great value for the money, and good calm atmosphere. The entree servings are generous. I almost always take half home for another meal. My glass of wine does add expense. My favorite is the Rama Garden with chicken, and a side order of brown rice.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant steps and entry would be difficult for a wheelchair.“
“This has to be the best Thai restaurant in Allston. I absolutely love their crispy pad Thai with chicken.Everything I get here I love. I have never got a bad dish here.The food comes out so fast too. My boyfriend and I sat down ordered and within. 15 minutes our food was at our table.It's like magic. And I must know how they do it.The atmosphere is so cool!They have a cute collection of butterflies on the walls and a lot of different items as well.11/10 recommend going to this place!“
“Mi Soul is a great miso soup ramen, the pork is esp tender and generous.Ten Yum was solid, very simple(just noodle and shrimp) and was mild/medium spicy.Poke was good, fish was very clean tasting, and a good amount of rice. I only wish they had spicy mayo as an option, more Seaweed or furikake for crispyness, and a little more cabbage to go with the large amount of rice. Great to have the option given the other poke spots are about a mile away.“
“This is just one of Laughing Monk's locations! This location is closer to Boston in the Allston area so it's much easier to get to with public transportation. Food: I got the Tom Yum soup and the Pork Belly skewers. The soup was so hearty, delicious, and warm. I loved the sourness of the soup. Unfortunately, the noodles were clumpy and were breaking apart. This is such a fixable mistake so that wasn't great. The pork had good seasoning and liked the fish sauce it was paired with. Ambiance: This is a smaller location than the Wellesley or Boston locations but allows for more casual dining. Price: It was about $18 for the soups. Not bad for Boston pricing but I wish there were more noodles in the soup and that the noodles had been loosened before. Overall, I would go again just to try other dishes and it offers Thai dishes that not every restaurant offers.“
“Food is 10/10, with extensive options for vegetarians. The pad Thai is amazing, and all portions are sized for sharing. One meal and one appetizer/side can easily feed two people, and if not, the leftovers are even better than the day-of. Good price and delivered hot! I haven't ever eaten in the restaurant itself so I cannot speak to ambience. The service is good and quick.“
“Pho and Rice really impressed me, especially their Bun Bo Hue, which is the best I've ever had. Generous portions, rich flavors, and a cozy atmosphere make it a must-visit spot. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine.“
“Good Thai and Korean dishes served at this restaurant ?. Their menu offers many choices, from Japanese to Thai and Korean dishes. We ordered Thai dishes, and we prefer spicier foods. They didn't disappoint they were very tasty, just enough heat like we prefer ? .Well worth the try ?“
“The food was excellent so I'd give 5 stars just for that but they went above and beyond to cater to our kids food allergies, which is always difficult when you are traveling and have to eat out.The lady then took time to speak with our boys, ask them they're name and wrote it out in Thai on a piece of paper for them to take home as well as teach them how to pronounce it. Our boys were super happy.I would 100% return.Dietary restrictions: Allergies“
“If you haven’t eaten here you certainly should, it’s a hidden gem with the best dumplings I have ever tasted. The lady who owns and runs it is a fantastic personality and a joy to see for every short occasion. I would have posted a photo to show how perfectly crisp they are but I ate them before I thought to post and ate them far too quickly. The homemade dumpling sauce is such a compliment. Highly recommend going out of your way to make it here for the times it’s open you wouldn’t regret it.“
“Do what I do. Ask for a large entree. Decline the rice or noodles. Instead of choosing 3 things to add to the large entree, choose 2: the grilled-looking chicken and the steamed-looking broccoli. They ought to fill the container with those 2. The sauce they put on that chicken is carbs aplenty and you get a delicious balanced meal for less than $10. Used to go here near daily for work. Miss this spot.“
“I am leaving this review of Thai Cafe after ordering takeout through Uber eats a handful of times. It is among my favorite spots for hot, fresh, delicious Thai food. The portions are very generous and they do not skimp on vegetables and toppings in their noodle dishes. My particular favs include the Pad See Ew, Drunken Noodles, and Pad Thai. I love that the vegetables are vibrant and have a nice bite to them -- never sad and overcooked. The Tom yum soup and fresh rolls are excellent as well. Service is top notch, too. After placing my most recent order online, I received a call from a very friendly worker who wanted to confirm one of the special requests I'd made on an item in my order. I thought that was so nice! My only word of caution is to be careful if you order anything made spicy here. I have a very high heat tolerance, and I could barely handle the drunken noodles I'd asked to be made this way. Not a criticism -- the chef did as I had asked -- but wowowow... be prepared! Overall, this spot is a great find.“
“I tried Soi8 for the first time and it was delicious! I have had sushi all over the world and this is some of the best! The Tuna Tataki was a great start! And the Sex on the Beach roll was amazing! I like spicy tuna and this was just perfect! I plan to bring family, friend and clients here!!Parking: I parked right out front.“
“Solid Thai Spot in Fenway.Came here a few weeks ago while I was looking for a quick Thai meal in the area. There aren’t a lot of good Asian restaurants in Fenway, but Thaitation seemed like a good option.Along with Thai Iced tea, we got the Shrimp Tempura and the Duck Chili. The Shrimp Tempura, which also included an assortment of vegetable tempura, was coated in a thin, crisp batter. It was exactly what I expected to get from a typical neighborhood Thai spot, and I especially enjoyed the broccoli tempura. The Duck Chili was also enjoyable. Though the duck itself could have been more tender, the dish was elevated by its spicy sweet and sour sauce and a delectable concoction of onions, pineapples, tomatoes, dried chili, and mushrooms.Overall, a good spot for a quick Thai fix in Fenway. Not sure if I would come back, but if you’re looking for a solid and affordable Thai food, I recommend giving them a try.Parking: Paid street parking along Peterborough st or near Isabella Gardner.“
“I really fell in love with the sushi bomb roll. I ordered it from DoorDash with some vegetables rolls & both were great. It was my first time trying sushi as well from an actual restaurant so it was very Good to me. The sushi was 15 dollars & the rolls were 5 dollars in my opinion it was totally worth it. I’m going to bring my family there one of these days to try out other stuff they have.“
“awesome!!! nice people and great food!! My granddaughter had a competition and they congratulate her like she was a part of their family! every time we walk in she gives the owner a BIGGGG Hug!!! I feel like we are so welcome there!! I definitely recommend this place!! we won't EVER stop going!“
“One of my fav Thai food places. All dishes are delicious. Very laid back atmosphere, perfect for lunch or a quick dinner. I love the Pad Thai, tom yum anything and the satay chicken apps. They crab fried rice has real crab meat. And you gotta get a Thai iced tea with every meal.“
“Stopped by for a rainy weekend late lunch. We were seated right away. I ordered the bun bo hue and it was very good. Soup was savory, not too salty. I ordered the steamed mixed veggies on the side, probably wouldn't do it again for the 3.95 price point - very small portion and the veggies were barely steamed. Good experience overall, will come back just for the bun bo hue!“
“I've ordered from here quite a few times, always the same dish, Cashew Chicken. It's always pretty good, but the dish does seem to vary based on the day. Most recently I got it and there were a few chunks of pineapple in it, the dish was overly sweet with no hint of spice to it what-so-ever. Usually there's a bit of chili flavor and a zing of ginger, but this time it just tasted like soy sauce and pineapple juice, a little disappointing. Always quick service and friendly employees when I pick up takeout.Parking: There's some street parking, but you have to pay for it and they do monitor this street regularly and give tickets if you don't pay.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. Quite a few steps to get into the restaurant.“
“Ordered shrimp + chicken pad thai and tofu red curry for delivery today. Delivery was quick (earlier than Grubhub's ETA), and the delivery person was very polite and appreciative of our business. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were HUGE. I am picky about my pad thai and was favorably impressed by Thai Moon's. Hope my family and I can go here once restaurants open their doors again.“
“I have never had a bad experience in all the times I've been here. The staff are nice and the food is excellent! My favorites are the roti, fried pearl noodle, ginger duck noodle soup, basil fried rice, pineapple fried rice, and curry fish fillet pot.“
“พอดีซื้อมาลอง 1 กล่องเป็นข้าวมันไก่ผสม อร่อยมาก เหมือนที่เมืองไทยเลย รอไม่นาน 10/10 It is a scrumptious meal for my alone dinner. The taste is original and the portion stuffed me perfectly.“
“I am trying to do take outs here and there nowadays to help local businesses survive covid19. This place is amazing! Firstly, it is clean and I feel comfortable getting my food here. Secondly, the food is so good you would want to go back. Do try yellow curry and pineapple! Thank you guys!“
“Went here during my stay at the Maverick Suites apartments up the street and it was so yummy! I've had food from a couple other neighboring restaurants and I definitely prefer this place, will definitely come here again on my next Boston trip. I got the G3 Chicken Mango Curry and G4 Indonesian Fried Rice Chef's Suggestions and loved them. So flavorful and the cafe itself is really chill!“
“The debate is over. This is hands down my favorite thai food place in mass. Yes in all of mass!! Omg its such a hidden gem and I'm actually so mad we waited this long to try. If you're a fan of authentic Thai street food and not just pad thai and tom yum, this is the place. We got the kao mun gai (chicken & rice) and it's delicious! My boyfriend even prefers this more than our usual spot - Hen in Somerville. I got the khao kha moo (braised pork thigh with rice + chinese broccoli and boiled egg) and omg I was on cloud nine!! Can't wait to go back and try more. We were pretty surprised that it was empty inside when we went to pick the food up :( the people working there was sweet as hell too! we love this place so we really hope this review reaches the right audience. The crispy chicken skin app was delicious as well and we got two desserts to try because we couldn't decide which one to get. The fried banana was ok, like sweet egg rolls but the one that captured our heart was the sweet sticky rice with thai custard. Hallelujah it's delicious!!! Not too much at all, though I always love the mango version, this one is pretty dang good and a unique way to elevate the sweet coconuty sticky rice. Will fosho definitely coming back to try other street food dishes on the menu!!“
“Authentic Asian/Thai cuisine. As usual, for many dishes you can choose whether you want meat, shrimp, tofu or just vegetables. Our food was very, very good. The service was friendly. Since we were the only guests, our food came super quicklyVegetarian options: For many dishes you can order tofu or just vegetables instead of meat“
“This spot has always had really good food. Unfortunately, I think people often drive by because of the location. Also, they were closed for awhile, and I didn't realize that they had reopened. To tell you the truth, a lot of the Chinese food I've had from other places lately has been very disappointing. So we were thrilled to see that they had reopened and their food has actually improved since last time we ordered, pre-pandemic! My husband and I ordered an appetizer sampler, sesame chicken and pork fried rice. Everything was crispy, all the right flavors and fresh. I really hope people don't just drive by to the other very overrated spot on Route 1. Out of Asia has taken precautions for social distancing in their establishment and are reasonably priced. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.“
