50 Best Thai Restaurants near Arlington

“I've been here a couple times and have had the pho, drunken chicken noodle, and seaweed salad. The house-named pho was excellent and packaged to-go thoughtfully. The drunken noodles and seaweed were both good as well. Prices are good for what you get compared to other fast casual take aways in the area. The staff are very responsive and kind and the inside is pleasant.“

“The Chicken Kao Soi is not only a phenomenal soup, deep and flavorful, but one of the best meals I’ve had in a LONG time!!“

“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.“

“We enjoyed our Thai Pancakes, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Mango Sticky Rice. The staff was so sweet with my son too. He's 2 years old and still learning to eat outside quietly. He approves of the Thai Pancakes...he tried to stuff a whole one in his mouth. Going back to try their fried rice...my Dad made Thai Fried Rice for us growing up. So, I am excited to try theirs.

Also, I am gluten free and dairy free. So, all the dishes we've tried meet those requirements.“

“I'm always impressed by the servers here; they're always friendly, very fast, and seem to manage really well in such a small space. Nevermind that the food is good and it seems to be consistently popular, line out the door most days.“

“Very fresh and flavorful food. Friendly staff. Will return to eat in or order take out.“

“The best chicken..:definitely“

“I'm not typically a review guy but this place is truly incredible. Chicken, rice, and daikon soup is all some of the best I've had in Boston, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and it's a cute little place to eat in or get takeout. Highly recommend the spicy chicken and the chive cakes, and can't wait to go back!“

“The fried pork dumplings The crispy chicken teriyaki fried rice plate The crispy pork belly fried rice plate“

“10/10 would recommend. We ordered the Penang curry, chicken teriyaki rice bowl, beef satay, steamed gyoza and samosa. The peanut sauce with the beef was 🔥🔥. All incredible.“

“Small place with authentic Thai offerings and great service! For appetizers, my wife and I had the shumai and crab rangoons. For entrees we had the pork belly curry and the grilled lemongrass chicken. Delicious and would definitely recommend!“

“Have never had bad food tried something new today. Delicious.“

“very good food decent price . will return for more...“

“The food is amazing! I totally forgot the name of the dish but the pork with noodle dish with the fried rangoon was amazing def recommend 🍜. Crispy chicken basil is also good and I recommend it with the sticky rice 🍚. The Hor Mok (salmon, shrimp, etc. curry inside a coconut 🥥) is pretty good too! The mango sticky rice is a go-to dessert 🥭“

“Best Thai food in Somerille. Recommend Khao Soi the best“

“This Thai restaurant was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint—absolutely delicious!

The Leng Zapp was amazing: the soup is sour and spicy, and while the first sip might be intense, it gets tastier once you get used to the flavour. The pork ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful—highly recommend! The pork leg had a slightly sweet taste, but it was well-seasoned and paired perfectly with the rice. The overall price is reasonable too.

The only downside is the limited seating, so be sure to arrive early!“

“Great tasting food and customer service is amazing. New ownership!!! Tried a bunch of apps and food. Fried gyozas were super crispy as well as the wings! nice noodle soups and I love the curry. I will have to be back to try more of the menu. Milk tea and Boba available as well as my always favorite Thai ice tea!“

“We went in a large group of 10 people. They were able to accommodate us seamlessly event though they probably have about 30 seats. The food came out quite quickly. All the dishes were all very delicious. We had chicken satay, spring rolls, larb chicken, fish cake, grilled squid, crying tiger, padthai, duck curry, chicken basil leaves, pad si ewe, Tom ka seafood, fried rice, hadyai fried chicken with sticky rice and mango sticky rice. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The service elevated our experience of eating here. I decided that this is my favorite Thai restaurant in Boston. Highly recommended.“

“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“

“Very welcoming. I got there about an hour before closing so I picked my food quickly. I had the Creamy Tum Yum and added a little chili oil to it for some spice. It is a great dish for someone who wants flavor with little to no heat. There was plenty of pork and two shrimp tails. I also had the Thai Tea which from the picture in the menu I was worried was a premade mix. Instead it came out fresh and required me to swirl it around to blend the cream. Perfect flavor and temperature. Not overly sweet like some places make it.

The atmosphere was laid back with some cool art work on the walls. Definitely gave a college town feel. The bathroom could use some work. It wasn't scary. It was clean and well stocked but it is definitely on the back burner when it comes to decorating.

I'm surprised they don't have merchandise. Their logo would be a cool patch on a hat. Seems like most restaurants are doing this now and I'm here for it. Better than buying shot glasses.

Anyways, check the place out for some good hot pots, ramen, etc. when in the area.“

“Was visiting MA on a work trip and stumbled upon the best Thai food ever. I genuinely love the atmosphere and food. The food is great and cooked fresh, with good portions. I had the gyoza and pad se ew. My partner had the beef w broccoli and white rice. We both enjoyed every bite! Definitely recommend and their sticky rice mango dessert looks amazing!

Vegetarian options: They have an entire section of their dishes that is redone just for vegetarians!“

“Amazing, fresh, authentic…served with a smile.“

“Such a sweet new find! Everything was delicious and reminded me of my time in Thailand! We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!“

“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!“

“It was very good.. must try..“

“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.“

“Perfection! I can't say enough about the magic-potion cocktails, flavorful dishes, cool vibe, fun staff and locals 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Great food!“

“Somtum is my family's favorite place for takeout when we want to treat ourselves. My husband and I went to Thailand on our honeymoon, and every time we order from here, it takes us back. He's a regular with green curry or drunken noodles. I love the Tom Kha coconut soup and the Larb salad. My kids don't like spice but they love the crispy pad thai. Don't sleep on the Thai iced tea- it should come with a warning label, because it's addictive.“

“Little spoon is just delightful! The staff are warm, the setting is cozy and relaxed, and the food is all delicious and fresh. We’ve been many times before and I highly recommend little spoon to anyone looking for a great Thai meal, or a dinner in Needham.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian dishes or dishes that can be made vegetarian. The fact that the curries have a vegan base is uncommon and amazing.“

“Best thai food around. Family run and friendly staff! The dine-in crowd is obviously not their biggest market, so they don't cater to "atmosphere" but the food is great. We drive past other restaurants to pick up take-out here and I'm always happy with the result. 5 stars!“

“Wow! The Grapao is soooo good—this place is the jackpot. Five stars all the way“

“Best Thai food in Boston This is my wife’s favorite food.“

“I love Noodle Street! Went for the first time with friends and was charmed by the amazing food and homey atmosphere, but was even more impressed today when I came in alone. There is a woman who I think may be the owner? who is so kind and really made me feel taken care of on a rough day. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Boston now because of the warmth and love she radiated to all the guests.“

“I had a wonderful dine in experience at Laughing Monk in Boston! The food was incredibly good truly authentic Thai! The menu was special and exciting with so many tempting options. The taste was so wonderful, I felt like I was eating in Bangkok. We drove 1.5 hours to get here, and it was absolutely worth it! I can't wait to return!“

“Beautifully plated and always delicious. The staff is phenomenal and caring and attentive and the owner is a wonderful man. Always goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy“

“Good portion. We ordered the appetizer combo so we can try everything out, the fried shrimp and chicken satay are good. The Pad Thai is just too sweet, it maybe good to balance the spice but still, the sweetness out stands the flavor.
Service is a little bit slow but nice.

Affordable and maybe try to order more spicier ones to bring out more flavors“

“Definitely an order for take out place. Hardly any seating inside and there’s always people waiting for their take out so it’s crowded. We had to wait a very long time for our food but I think it’s because they were doing a 15% off promotional thing. The food is amazing though definitely recommend!!“

“Absolutely amazing Thai food. It’s the best in the Boston area. We will definitely be back!“

“On a family trip in Mass. and stayed @ Hampton inn. This was very convenient and close by and even 20 minutes before closing they attended me with a smile along with great hospitality. We ordered from the main entrees which by portion size was very filling and I of course had sushi while waiting for them to complete my order.
It was mouth watering and extremely delicious!!! Hands down the best I ever had. Thank you for the great food and great experience at your restaurant!“

“Allergy friendly. Accommodating to dairy and egg free. Also they don’t cook with MSG and was able to alter the pad Thai so it wasn’t cooked with fish sauce. My MIL usually reacts to Thai food but she felt good after eating here! So glad they could accommodate us. Food was yummy. The beef satay was a little on the tough side however. We still enjoyed our food very much.“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to — a secret hole in the wall. Best pad Thai, vegetable spring rolls, and chicken satay! I only wish they would bring back that ginger soup they used to serve each customer before meals during lunch.

Vegetarian options: Great vegetable pad Thai!“

“Great foods and Great services !!! Stop by and try it out !!!“

“I have eaten here numerous times. It's actually my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. Flavors are always on point. Portions are perfect. Food is beautiful. I've had at least 6 different dishes and they have all been outstanding. With that said, if you want your food spicy, you'll need to emphasize that you want the food really spicy; they're not too heavy on the spice here. Which is probably good for me, because it makes me enjoy the flavors more. I like the atmosphere inside a lot. The space is fairly small.“

“Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere. Yummy drinks“

“The people are amazingly helpful. The food was so good. We had ordered a delivery from Grubhub but love to go in person.“

“Yum yum yum! Great food, friendly service and the decor is fun as well. Chicken satay and peanut sauce is one of my favorite dishes. We ordered for pickup but they forgot an item, and they were kind enough to deliver it to our house so we didn’t need to go back up for pick up. Looking forward to going again!“

“Simply the best and freshest Thai food you can find in Massachusetts! We have been eating from this restaurant for more then eight years and I have not found better Thai food anywhere else. Being on a low sodium diet it is hard to find a restaurant that will cook food not drenched in salt. Dishes are cooked to order and requests are always granted. This is a family owned business and they are just fantastic people. This is a take-out restaurant although they offer great luncheon specials at a very fair price if you happen by during lunchtime. Highly recommend!“

“Great service and excellent/affordable food. Try the miso soup (I added tofu), the chicken basil fried rice, the veggie spring rolls, and the red/massaman curries. We have visited here a few times now and it definitely won't be the last. Cheap drinks available too!“

“This place is amazing! The food is both delicious and beautifully presented. It looks impressive, and I always order here. The place is always packed with people.

One time, they brought me calamari instead of shrimp, but they quickly fixed it. I really appreciate such great service, and they even treated me to a smoothie as a gesture.

I highly recommend this place! Great food, excellent service – 4 out of 5 stars! ❤️“
