The Taste is situated in the heart of Amherst Center, offering a pleasant dining experience with good service and a minimalistic yet modern decor. It appears to be a family-run business, and the staff are both professional and knowledgeable.
I ordered the Basil Fried Rice, which was reasonably priced. While the portion size was a bit small for sharing, it was sufficient for an individual meal. The dish had a nice kick of flavor without being overly spicy.
Overall, The Taste is a solid choice for Thai food in the area, whether you're looking for a casual meal or a relaxed date night.

This place has always been amazing I’ve been coming here since I was a child and they never disappoint! The food is always great quality and extremely delicious. Never once have I gotten anything cooked badly in the decade + I’ve been eating here. Their meats and vegetables, their appetizers, salads and drinks, literally everything is so so good!! Definitely worth the price and worth a visit I really hope this place never closes shop they’re one of my favorite restaurants to go to.
Vegetarian options: Any entree that comes with meat could come with tofu or vegetables instead.

Good service, and meals came quickly. Seemed quite a few things were unavailable for some reason. Food was good though, good portions and very good value.

The woman running the entire front of the house is a superstar. The food is fabulous too. Go! Enjoy!
Kid-friendliness: One of my kids eats nothing with flavor. We asked for plain wide noodles and it worked out fine.

I've been here twice on two different trips to Amherst! Every dish was a delightful journey into the vibrant and complex flavors of Thai cuisine.Starting with the pumpkin curry, it was a rich and aromatic dish with the sweetness of the pumpkin complementing the warm Thai spices. A very comforting dish! I couldn't resist trying the Pad Thai, a classic Thai noodle dish, which did not disappoint! The Siam rolls, we're one of the crispiest things I've ever had! The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the tender, flavorful interior likely makes them irresistible appetizers. I regret eating them all in one sitting but I knew they would be good in a hotel microwave.The chicken coconut soup, made with a creamy coconut milk base, kaffir lime, tender chicken, mushrooms, and other herbs and spices infused the broth with layers of complex flavors, creating a comforting and aromatic soup that warms the soul. Lastly, the Thai-style basil chicken pan-fried dish was flavorful with tender chicken, aromatic Thai basil, bell peppers, onions, and chilies. This is also a staple of mine when visiting a Thai restaurant and I loved this one!The service is great, very quick, and polite! I will return here whenever my next trip to Amherst is!
Food was absolutely delicious, but we waited well over an hour for our food at a table of 5.

This is my favorite restaurant. The food is fantastic and the service is great. I love the green curry, but have tried the Massaman curry as well, and it is wonderful! I could eat here every day. The people who work here are terrific.
Food was great, ambience was great. Only one server in the place, person should come and ask how food was much sooner than end of dinner.

Delicious Thai food. Don’t sleep on this restaurant.

The food was good, the noodles amazing. The only issue was we weren't informed that a part of our order wasn't available until all the food arrived, which means one person in our party had to sit and wait for a really long time until something else could be made. If you're out of something let us know right away.

My experience at The Taste Thai Cuisine in Amherst, MA, was a mix of highs and lows. While the food had its moments of delight, the overall experience left much to be desired.We decided to opt for take-out and ordered the fresh mango roll, chicken red curry, and fried rice. Unfortunately, the fresh mango roll was a bit of a letdown. Despite its name, there was hardly any mango to be found. Instead, it was overloaded with cabbage and carrot, making it taste more like a vegetable roll rather than the delightful mango-infused treat we were expecting.On the brighter side, the chicken red curry and fried rice managed to impress. The flavors were bold and authentic, and the chicken was tender, making the curry a standout dish. The fried rice was equally satisfying, packed with rich flavors that complemented the main course perfectly.However, the service at The Taste Thai Cuisine left much to be desired. When we arrived around 8:40 pm, the establishment was already preparing to close at 9 pm. We inquired if they would still take our order, and they assured us it wouldn't be a problem, saying they would close around 9 pm. We were cautiously optimistic but proceeded to place our order. The confusion arose when we asked how long it would take to prepare the food. They mentioned it would be ready in 20 minutes. This raised a concern: if the restaurant closes at 9 pm and the food takes 20 minutes to prepare, we were unsure when we could actually pick up our order. It seemed like an organizational oversight that marred the overall experience. Additionally, when we requested plates for our take-out order, we were surprised to find that they had run out of them. This lack of basic supplies detracted from the professionalism of the establishment. The Taste Thai Cuisine in Amherst, MA, offered a somewhat mixed experience. The lack of mango in the fresh mango roll and the absence of plates were noticeable drawbacks. However, the chicken red curry and fried rice did manage to salvage the meal, displaying genuine Thai flavors that satisfied our taste buds. Nevertheless, the confusion over the closing time and food preparation left us feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
