It was really empty and quiet when we visited Friday night, no music or other customers. But it was a nice way to get away from the college kids partying outside. The Pad Thai and Pad See You plates were delicious! I do wish there was a bit of music playing, though.

Thai food done just right! And fortunately, so many vegetarian options that don't feel like you're losing out, getting less. The prices are reasonable, the portions are well done. You can enjoy yourself even with a simple take-out, and have enough leftovers to make another meal of a type of food with its origins far from Amherst

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.
