Visited here around 6:30 on a Saturday and was sat immediately, food came out very fast!
The pan fried Chicken gyoza was delicious, nice crisp on the bottom Pad See Ew was great, noodles were soft, good ratio of meat to carrots to noodles Thai Iced Tea was sweet and smooth!
Will definitely be coming back!

The food was good, i got the yellow curry with tofu and it was within my expectations for it. Dimly lit which i like for a dinner. A bit small so you may want to call in to make sure you don't need to wait 30 mins for a table. Prices are reasonable compared to some of the asian fusion restaurants I've been to.

Cute place! Really enjoyed the Thai green curry and my friend liked the boat noodle soup a lot.
They have a large authentic menu which looked great, and in addition to that a more typical “American”/“classics” type menu. Only wish was that more vegetarian options appeared on the authentic menu, but that’s more a personal wish than a realistic one :-)

This place serves very good Chinese food. I went there for lunch and it was empty so we did not wait to be seated. Not sure if that’s the case for dinner or during the weekend. For appetizers, I had the veggie gyoza and it was so good. The soya sauce it comes with is not salty and I loved it. For the main dish, I had the mango curry with shrimps and would definitely recommend it if you like sweetness in your food. It is a bit spicy but just enough.

I cannot speak on the sushi, as I wouldn’t order Japanese dishes from a Thai spot - just as I wouldn’t order Thai dishes from a Japanese spot.
As far as the Thai goes - it is surprisingly tasty. I will make a point to say this location is much more Americanized and caters to an American palette, whereas the Allston one almost tastes exactly how I remember living in Thailand.
Going forward - I’ll only be ordering from the Allston location. That’s just my personal preference.
This location would be better for someone who enjoys the sweeter, lighter versions of the dishes.

The waitress is nice and considerate. She specifically placed a miso soup for vegan when she found out I am a vegetarian so that's very sweet of her.
The vegetarian sushi also a good one. Only the agedashi tofu a bit too bland for my taste
We had such a wonderful time here at Laughing Monk Cafe. The atmosphere was inviting, staffs greeted us with a smile, attentive and friendly. The sushi was fresh and outstanding 🫶 Definitely coming back again!

The Thai offerings are wonderful, as far as I can tell, and reasonably priced - that is, the noodles, stir-frys and fried rices, unless you order shrimp, which I'm not sure is worth the markup. The tofu is the most affordable, and incredibly good. This place has a split identity - either excellent, reasonable Thai food - or, over-the top, gourmet, beautiful sushi for rich people, priced over the market for even equivalent Japanese-only sushi in Boston. Their reservation policy is punitive, as well - $25/head for no-shows. The restaurant was nowhere near full at 6PM on a Thursday. Our check was less than the penalty would have been.. We will be going back - but not for the sushi - until I hit the lottery. $31 for Unagi Don? $31 for Chirashi? No thank you. Down the street, Unagi Don is $23.

Tried the pad Thai and kua gai for take out and it turned out decent. It can be a bit salty for some, and portion size feels a bit small. Service is very friendly.
