50 Best Thai Restaurants near Brookline

“The food was fresh and fantastic! Service was excellent !“

“We had a fantastic dinner here! The Khao Kha Moo incredibly tender and delicious, with the vinegar sauce really adding to the flavor of the pork. The yellow curry was also very tasty and had rich flavor.
The atmosphere is cozy and quaint. The food was very fresh and brought out quickly by with friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back here!“

“Came for lunch, we were instantly sat and greeted with water. Our server was prompt and very kind. We got Crab Rangoons and Country Padtie and both came out hot and full of flavor. The prices were inexpensive for the quality of food and service we received. Definitely check it out for lunch!“

“Wasn’t too crowded Sunday 5pm. Absolutely delicious, got the Indonesian rice with crispy chicken and spicy eggplant with tofu. Ate everything as is, couldn’t stop! Would def recommend. Dining room has about 40 seats total. Thai ice tea was also awesome!“

“Great food and great service“

“This has been my go-to thai place for years now, and I stopped by again recently to learn that the food and service are still as amazing as ever! I've tried most of their menu and the food is very customizable and flavorful, and I always order a thai tea too. Overall great good and speedy service (also a bit frustrating to see poor reviews based on delivery issues that the restaurant has no say in)“

“I’m giving Merai, a full 5 stars. The service here is excellent — attentive, friendly, and professional, making the dining experience very enjoyable. The cocktails are well-crafted, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For those seeking vegetarian options, the menu offers delicious choices that are thoughtfully prepared. Overall, Merai combines great food, drinks, and service, making it a standout spot in Brookline. Highly recommended!“

“Very flavorful! I first had the bibimbap which was super yummy! Definitely go for the lunch specials--great value and excellent opportunity to try out other dishes. I upgraded to the combo which had 2 crab rangoon and a drink for $2 more.“

“This is my girlfriend and I's favorite go-to date spot when we want something cozy, familiar and relaxed. The staff know our go-to orders at this point and have the food prepared more quickly then pretty much any other restaurant I ever go to. It's all delicious and you really can't go wrong with any choice from the menu. The price is extremely reasonable, the atmosphere is great, and there's even outdoor seating available in the warm months. The food also holds up just as well for delivery/takeout as it does for dining in. If there is anything at all I would change, I'd ask them to bring back the crispy pork belly, since I'd always add that onto my ramen order! Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing, and would highly recommend this cozy local staple.“

“Service was quick and effecient. Wait staff gave me a great recommendation for lunch. The short rib curry was delicious; came with rice. Dining area was small, but single seats long the window were open. Price for the entree was $22, but short ribs don't come cheap. The meat fell off the bones, and it made a tasty curry! There were also peas and peppers in the curry. Spice level was perfect, big flavor, not heat.“

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

“The best chicken..:definitely“

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

“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!!“

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

“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“

“Thaiger Den in Malden is a great spot for Thai cuisine! The restaurant is warm and inviting, with welcoming staff who make you feel right at home. The staff are constantly checking in on you and making sure your water is always topped off. The decor is stunning—modern, sleek, with gold accents that give it a touch of luxury. Even the bathroom is pristine, with fancy toilets, automated trash cans, soap dispensers, and even high-end toilet paper—it’s clear they pay attention to every detail! The food was amazing. We tried the hot stone wagyu dish, the Khao Soi, the tiger shrimp pad thai, and the ribeye in curry. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The only slight drawback was the timing, as three dishes came out together and the last arrived about 10 minutes later, but the quality more than made up for it. The cocktails were a highlight—creative, strong, and perfectly crafted. The vibe in the restaurant is fantastic, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend checking Thaiger Den out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“I stopped in here while traveling. Wow, I happened upon a great spot! The place was packed when I walked in around 6pm. People were frequently in and out grabbing to go orders. I knew I must be at a good restaurant and boy was I right! I sat at the bar that was well stocked, unfortunately I couldn't drink this night. I ordered green chicken curry and went to the bathroom, by the time I got back it was sitting on the bar already. I couldn't believe how fast they were. The food was great and staff was friendly. Most restaurants could learn from these folks.“

“The food and service were absolutely amazing! Outstanding flavor profiles!“

“I HAD to write a review.. it's SO GOOD!!! I ordered off of Doordash because I haven't seen it before and saw the good reviews and noticed some very authentic recipes on the menu and decided to give it a try.

No regrets, the Bai Toey drink brings me back to my childhood with the wonderful pandan flavor and tastes so refreshing as a tea. The Tom Yum Sukhothai was phenomenal, the broth was as balanced as my Yah's broth which really takes me back, too.

I definitely want to try the chicken claw soup next time, since they definitely didn't disappoint with the classic tom yum!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit

Phat Thaiger is truly a gem, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we walked in, the experience was wonderful.

The service is exceptional—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and ensured our drinks were always topped off without being intrusive. They truly set the gold standard for hospitality.

The dishes here are intensely flavorful and authentic. Everything tasted incredibly fresh.

If you're looking for great food, great service, and a wonderfully pleasant dining environment, Phat Thaiger is the only place you need to go. We'll be back very soon!“

“I've not had Thai food much but decided to try Eggs and Thai with my family. It was the most delicious food I've ever had. The flavors were amazing. The variety on the menu was great too. Service was the best! I highly recommend anyone try Eggs and Thai, not just the best Thai food but also the best food!“

“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!“

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

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

“Tried it for the first time - delicious Paid Thai and cold Thai Jasmine Green Tea drink 🥤 is yummy!“

“I don't write many reviews. For me to write a review a restaurant has to be either really bad and amazingly good. Sugar and spice is amazingly good Thai food! My wife says it was the best pad thai she's ever had. My son had the tamarind duck, which I sampled, and I had the kanom jean nam ngaio (see pics). Both were sooo good. Service was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back!“

“Best grilled chicken and rice combo, very generous portions of rice and chicken with good soup. I can highly recommend this. Do not get any wings from them. And make sure you confirm your order with the staff, they sometimes make mistakes. I tried the sticky wings and it wasn't fully coated with sauce, there was some blood veins in the chicken and I'm sad to say I found a short hair in one of my pieces. As the staff had to redo my wings order bc she mistook my order to her recommendation of chicken skins, I didn't want to complain. Needless to say, I won't be returning bc of hygiene and service. I love Thai food and really wanted to support them.“

“It was very good.. must try..“

“I would recommend it because the food is good but when I ordered they said a half hour I had to sit outside and wait though. when I got there I had to wait outside almost a half hour because they only let one person in the building at a time. I got there about 45 minutes after ordering they told me five or 10 more minutes it took an additional almost 20 minutes. I sat outside in the freezing cold. I did not receive an apology or anything. This is the first time I have not tipped since Covid began.“

“No words to describe this authentic Thai restaurant, so beautifully warm and friendly. They care about their food and I am very grateful for this amazing experience for my taste bites and soul!!! Thank you to my smiley server with the name of Pookie, she blessed each plate and the owner named Jim who also gave me to taste the Fisherman’s Madness Seafood dish. Thank you so very much!!!!“

“The service and food were amazing.“

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

“What a soup indeed! The broth in the boat noodles is so flavorful and hearty. The spice level of hot is perfect for me who likes a good amount of heat. Prices are very reasonable for the big portion you get with lots of meat and noodles. Haven't eaten in, so I can't rate service and atmosphere, but I will dine in sometime soon.

Only issue is I haven't received tendon in my beef and tendon noodles twice. May be an issue with the ordering method because both times were through Doordash. Is tendon not included for delivery or perhaps a listing mixup? Disappointed because I was looking forward to the beef tendon, but still very tasty.“

“This place is the REAL Deal. Good portions, AUTHENTIC, Clean place, GREAT menu. Keep up the good work!!!!“

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

“This restaurant is really awesome. I ordered a tom yum sort of thing that was way too spicy for me. The server was super nice and kept telling me I needed to finish all my food 😅. The food is good but I didn't order the right thing for me, but the service made up for it.“

“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.“

“Great food!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Highly recommended! Super delicious and nice service :)“

“Great first time !! Will return again !“

“Pepper Sky is one of the best (if not the best) restaurants in Central Square! I’ve been coming here for 2 years and their food is consistently fresh and delicious. The Pad Thai is a MUST (one of the best I’ve had). In addition to outstanding food- the staff is ALWAYS friendly and their customer service exceeds expectations. Thank you Pepper Sky for being awesome- HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for a bite in the Central Square area :)“

“Decent food with good portion sizes. though pricey!
The Japanese dishes are pricey.
The place gets packed at night especially the weekends. Inside is a bit too tight with not enough room to move at times. It’s relatively too small.
Either remove tables & chairs or get another place. It does get noisy when there’s lot of people considering how packed it gets at times.
Service was acceptable though it needs more staffers.
Difficult to find street parking.
Clean shared bathrooms.“

“Thai Thani is hands down the best local Thai restaurant in the Norwood area. I've tried other Thai restaurants close by, and Thai Thani is the definitely the best! Their portion sizes are extremely generous and the food is always hot and fresh. The lunch specials are great and anytime I've gotten dinner from there, I always have plenty of leftovers for the next day. The owners are great and are fantastic chefs! My go to is the Tofu Massaman Curry, but their Pad Thai is amazing too! I would highly recommend Thai Thani to anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine. You will not be disappointed!“

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

“They are so so so nice! We come here all the time with our 6 year old. They are so good at accommodating her nut allergy. Plus the food is absolutely delicious. My favorite green curry ever. And their northern Thai curry is the best comfort food.“

“Always a very enjoyable experience! I like my Thai food very spicy and they are always very accommodating. Big menu with a wide variety of options. Highly recommend to give it a try!“
