“Very nice sushi place. It is not very big, but had loads of small tables for two and four. I came at 7 o'clock on a Saturday and could only sit at the sushi bar itself (four seats) They had a nice set of sushi options, including an all salmon, sashimi and rolls.“
“One of my favorite places in all of Boston. I've literally had dreams about their Tom Yum soup (although I haven't had anything else on the menu I didn't love, the Tom Yum is just next level). The appetizers are all delicious and the flan for dessert is a must!“
“My go-to Thai restaurant in Boston. Nearby street parking and good food. Decent pad thai, good pad see ew, and excellent Thai curries. Pricing is a bit higher than it used to be, but that's the "post"-pandemic world we live in.“
“Food was delicious and the person who works here was super nice. I ordered fried mango rice which I inhaled.I wouldn’t recommend the place for eating at though, it seems very takeout-centric. We did eat at the restaurant and they only used the same disposable utensils, plates, and bowls used for takeout. People kept coming in and out for food delivery.“
“Really nice place. Small and cozy. Pretty large menu selection. Great food. Our hostess was really patient with us as I was catching up with my niece after a long time of not seeing her So after a while we finally ordered.If I’m in town again and jonesin’ for Thai food this’ll definitely be my go-to place!!!“
“I have been in search of the best pad Thai in Boston for years and Finally found my dream. Consistent, delicious, with that touch of lime that I love. Crab Rangoon, and spring rolls are excellent. I have ordered this 5 times now and has not disappointed. Can't say the same for a Grub Hub.“
“One of the best finds in Brookline! My go to order is drunken noodles which are perfect every time. I have yet to have a single meal that I regret and recommend this to anyone who if thinking of ordering!Dietary restrictions: We have a family member with a lot of food aversion and they are super accommodating to whatever you ask!“
“Overall the food was excellent and the service great. The house fried rice may have been our favorite followed by the pineapple curry. Next time we'll get the chicken dumplings steamed instead of fried. The place is small and casual, and if you're too close to the door on a cold night, keep your coat on!“
“A smallish restaurant is hidden on River Street a few blocks down from Central Square in Cambridge. This is the sister restaurant to What a Chick in Watertown, so I had pretty high expectations coming in. I came here on a Friday night for dinner just as the dinner rush started. We sat down at a table and hung up our jackets on the hooks against the wall towards the back of the restaurant. We were given the menu and I easily decided on the pork ball boat noodle soup. As we were waiting for our food, we noticed the service was quick and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal from the sweet broth to the soft tender meatballs, and the crunchy pork rinds. The presentation is great with the signature crisp with "What a Soup" imprinted on it as well. We were also offered 10% off our bill for reviewing them on Google. Overall, a great place to check out in Cambridge that'll satisfy your hunger.“
“The spicy crispy chicken with what da chick sauce is my favorite. $15 for a chicken combo with rice, 2 sauces and soup is a great deal in Boston.I prefer dining in than takeout so the chicken stays crispy and also their staff is super friendly. I’d skip the tea/coffee next time tho.“
“We were excited to try this Thai restaurant after seeing its high ratings. The food and service did not disappoint. The owner is friendly and welcoming; she made us feel at home. I enjoyed the pad thai with vegetables. It came with a nice sauce and fresh vegetables including green beans, zucchini, broccoli, and carrots. The noodles were extremely fresh and had great consistency. My husband got the beef and macadamia nuts. The beef was tender and well-cooked without being fatty at all. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are great. I look forward to returning to this restaurant.“
“This is now one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Boston/Cambridge area! It's definitely a more elevated Thai restaurant but can be as casual as you want it to. The presentation of all the dishes were absolutely stunning, as well! Food: We ordered 8 dishes for about 6 people and were stuffed! The fire chicken dish is probably one of the most popular dishes as its presentation is so fun! The chicken hangs on a stick over some fire (hence the name). The chicken itself was soft with flavorful sauce and you can definitely taste the heat! Crispy duck was one of our appetizers and this duck was juicy and aromatic and the batter was delicious. Kow Soi Moo Krob is one of the curries with crispy pork belly in a curry/coconut broth with egg noodles. The presentation of this dish was also very elevated and the broth was an even level of thickness and the flavors weren't overpowering. I'm usually wary of getting coconut curries but this was balanced so well. We also got Hor Mok with is a salmon curry. This was a little spicier and also so creamy. The salmon didn't exactly fit well with the curry, though. Kow Yum is a papaya salad and it was so beautiful! There were so many colors and it was a perfect concoction of warm, cold, tart, sweet, and spicy. We got both the Pad Thai and the Drunken Noodles. Both were solid classics but didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. We ended with mango sticky rice, which comes with 3 different types of rice! Each was the perfect texture and you could actually taste the difference in the rices. Mango was nice and soft and the coconut cream topped it off well. Price: The total was around $175 for 8 dishes with each dish being around $15-$22. The price point is worth it for the quality and the quantity of the dishes you're getting it. I look forward to when I go back to Sugar & Spice! I want to try their guay jub! If you're in this area, definitely check it out.“
“Feel like something's changed in the past year or so. The food doesn't seem as cared for and has lost some of it's charm. not sure if just a bad day or if the chef has changed but other way feeling a little sad. still tasty but not the WOW it was “
“Oh wow their food is spectacular! Ordering is only difficult when you gotta make choices. Better is to order all the specials, add in some favorites and then feed a crowd so everyone gets to taste all the goodies. Seriously one of the best restaurants in Arlington and Cambridge.“
“Jan 2024:Party of 10Sushi rolls were surprisingly delicious and fresh and presentation was nice! I enjoyed the crab ragoons they were. Perfectly crispy and warm. Had the pad thai with tofu it was delicious although the tofu was a bit much and I prefer it fully grilled and not mushy.“
“This restaurant offers incredible Thai food! We tried the Crying Thaiger Curry, drunken noodles, and fried pork dumplings- all delicious! The Crispy Chicken had a perfect crunch and a delightful sweet-salty sauce. However, the Real Thai Coconut water was too sweet and it doesn’t seem like coconut water at all. Overall, we will definitely be back!“
“This place is amazing! I’ve been here over 20 times and the food is consistently fantastic. Wait staff is so nice and professional. It’s hard to work at a place that typically gets one huge rush a day but they are so great and the food always shines.“
“Loved it here! Such a cute unassuming place near downtown Dedham. So many menu options. We had the roti bread appetizer and shumai which were both delicious. The bread was crispy and chewy like a scallion pancake and came with a delicious chicken curry on the side. I ordered the beef ball noodle soup which kind of resembled pho. Delicious and huge portions for every dish. My friend wanted khao soi which she found under a different name on the menu. I believe it was called curry noodle soup. Service was prompt and not overbearing. Thai iced tea was delicious. I would certainly come back again.“
“There's lots of good Thai food around Boston but Thonglor is my favorite! Every time I take a new bite I literally think the words, "This is cooked to perfection" LOL... like the Ratatouille critic... Such a dependable delivery place, I try to order something new each time and every single dish has been delicious! I can tell from photos that the dine-in plating looks beautiful, and I think even in the take-out boxes you can tell there is lots of care put in. :) I love the pad kee mao, khao pad tomyum, and mango sticky rice. The curry puffs and keaw wan gai are also great!“
“I was craving Pad Thai and saw great reviews for this new Thai restaurant in Lexington and decided to order takeout. I'm so glad that I tried them because everything was delicious. The place is nice and bright and my order was ready on time. I will definitely order from them again!“
“Dakzen is a very special place. Highly recommend the Khao Soi. One of the best dishes i’ve ever eaten. Creamy. Spicy. Delcious. They have many other tasty dishes here too but the Khao Soi is my absolute favorite. The dining room is small so be prepared to wait a little bit. I usually eat here for lunch on a rainy day. That’s the best time to go. The wait is usually short. Lunch/Dinner rush on a nice day be prepared to wait longer. Food comes out quickly. You can be added to a wait list when you get there so you can walk around without losing your spot. Highly recommend. 10/10“
“Everything was surprisingly delicious but what stood out compared to other Thai I’ve had around here was that everything tasted very fresh, like they got the vegetables today and made everything to order. Vegetables in a curry often get soft and overcooked but the green beans and peas still had that nice just cooked enough crunch. Yum! Will be back. Also, I always request no utensils or napkins when I get take out and it’s rarely followed but they did!“
“Pretty good food! Parking is a little difficult because the restaurant doesn’t have its own lot. Plenty of seating and we were the only people dining in at dinner time on a Monday. Not the best thai food I’ve ever had but certainly wasn’t disappointed.“
“Quaint little ramen spot but perfect for anyone craving authentic ramen. They pack the broth separately for to go orders which is great for reheating later on. They add a cute piece of seaweed to the bowl too. Servers are super friendly and helpful towards first timers. Portions are filling and fresh. Barstool style seating indoors in the winter time!“
“We tried the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. Both were delicious! Great taste, and fresh. They are quick to your order and attentive. We plan to go back for more. Try the basil garlic eggplant. Its got a brown soy sauce that hits the spot with a big pile of rice!“
“The vibes are so good in here, super clean and the decor is rlly cool! I got the babe ribs and the meat was SO JUICY AND TENDER a bit spicy for me but just right… get with rice and you will def have leftovers. Thai tea was good too and the fresh spring rolls were super yummy. Everyone is very friendly and it was v “
“Last semester, I was commuting to college and often staying late on campus to avoid traffic. I came to this restaurant so often for dinner, that the owner herself now recognizes me by both name and appearance.She is the sweetest lady ever, she radiates hospitality, and her smile is like sunshine. Her and her partner make great food, always reliable and comforting, and easily my go to for a quick take out meal when I’m in the area.Now, my boyfriend and I come here almost weekly for dinner and she always welcomes us with a warm smile and delicious food. Thank you Ching!“
“(FYI - In all fairness, this is based on a single visit and two dishes)I was headed to a dumpling shop down the street when I just happened to park in front of this place. I was in the mood for hot noodley stuff from any part of Asia anyway, so this fit the bill with a much easier walk on a chilly day."Thai Street Food" suggested they probably had more going on than Pad Thai and Golden Bags. Knowing "Zaab" means something along the lines of "Wicked Tasty" I figured it was a safe bet.I quickly spotted the Yum Nam Tok: a semi-salad thing of grilled sliced pork tossed with onions, chiles and a lime-soy dressing. Sprinkled with toasted rice powder for crunch and aroma, it's a personal favorite. 9Zaab does a really great job with this dish. Generously sized as well, allowing me to push it aside for later, then keep picking at it until the next course without finishing it off.The big bowl of Ba Lee Moo Dang (and Fish Ball!) was next. Perfect choice on a half-sunny/half-cold day. The menu billed it as "The most famous Thai egg noodles"* and it had a couple of chile pepper symbols next to it. Most Famous at a place called Zaab! I was waiting to have my socks blown off.Didn't quite happen. The famous egg noodles were a big helping of instant ramen in a big bowl of mildly- oh so very mildly - seasoned broth. The BBQ pork slices were pretty much pink ringed slices of the Chinese Char-Siu take out variety. There were some decent dumplings as well as some very delicious fish balls. They did, however, leave off the cilantro & fried garlic as listed.Over all it was kinda non-zaab... It wasn't bad. There just wasn't much to talk about flavor-wise. I poured some of the Yum Nam Tok dressing into it and added some chiles. It all worked out.Staff is nice, the joint is immaculately clean and I'd definitely give it another visit.*Turns out, all the noodle soups on the menu begin with "the most famous Thai..."Vegetarian options: I don't think I've ever been to a Thai restaurant which wasn't half-vegetarian by default.Dietary restrictions: People allergic to Thai food may feel itchy.Parking: Cambridge Street in Cambridge. Easy(ish) street parking on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely more challenging during the week.“
“Amazing place. My girlfriend and I are regulars, the price and quality are just unmatched.The food is kind of a southeast Asian fusion. Honestly it's very unique and I haven't been to many restaurants that serve and pull of these kinds of flavors. Strongly recommend.Try their brunch menu. So cheap, but so, so good.“
“Amazing customer service coupled with the most delicious and fragrant panang curry = the best combo. The mild spice level I requested was indeed, mild. Something I can rarely find and it hit the spot in the best way. I'll be thinking about this place until I'm back in Calgary next month. Thank you!“
“Solid Thai Spot in Fenway.Came here a few weeks ago while I was looking for a quick Thai meal in the area. There aren’t a lot of good Asian restaurants in Fenway, but Thaitation seemed like a good option.Along with Thai Iced tea, we got the Shrimp Tempura and the Duck Chili. The Shrimp Tempura, which also included an assortment of vegetable tempura, was coated in a thin, crisp batter. It was exactly what I expected to get from a typical neighborhood Thai spot, and I especially enjoyed the broccoli tempura. The Duck Chili was also enjoyable. Though the duck itself could have been more tender, the dish was elevated by its spicy sweet and sour sauce and a delectable concoction of onions, pineapples, tomatoes, dried chili, and mushrooms.Overall, a good spot for a quick Thai fix in Fenway. Not sure if I would come back, but if you’re looking for a solid and affordable Thai food, I recommend giving them a try.Parking: Paid street parking along Peterborough st or near Isabella Gardner.“
“Norwood's Best kept secret. You will not find better thai food ANYWHERE in New England. Monica and her staff make the most delicious and authentic thai food around. It is ALWAYS SUPER FRESH. So tasty. Reasonably priced. My personal fav is the Chicken Basil - and they will make it as spicy or not spicy at all. Just ask. My husband is a HUGE fan of the pad thai. It really does not matter what you order. It is all fantastic. You will be SO HAPPY if you give this a try. Best food ever. Been going here since it opened.“
“This was our first time visiting The Bangkok and it will NOT be our last! We decided to be complete fat@$$es — I mean adventurous — and delved into the small plates. If you are a person of small appetite, 1-2 small plates is enough for you (we did not stop there!). For apps/small plates, we shared the veggie crispy rolls and curry roti (fried scallion pancake). The rolls were perfectly crisp without being oily with a healthy side of pickled carrots and radish over lettuce and sweet/sour dipping sauce. The roti was served hot and crispy with a soft lemongrass soup sauce. Amazing! My carnivorous spouse added a small plate of ribs, too; she describes the ribs as “good.” In more elaborate details the curry on top tasted of a savory scallion and red beans that fit nicely with the meat of the ribs that fell from the bones (may the poor cow’s soul rest in peace).Moving onto entrees, I have a habit of testing Thai restaurants with tofu red curry. This was a healthy portion — too much to handle in one sitting — was a New England American (white people) spicy 5:10 after asking for extra spicy, luckily there was chili oil on the tables for additional spice. Anyway, the curry was creamy, not watery and had a beautiful mix of beans, red peppers, bamboo, tofu, pea pods, and chunks of eggplant, plus a side of rice. I would definitely get it again!Partner in murdering Thai food today got khao soi noodle dish that had a light yellow curry spicy (caliente) sauce with noodles, scallion, greens, herbs, vegetables, and a whole freaking chicken leg grass in a lemon grass coconut sauce, which I’m told tasted amazing. Again, God rest that chicken soul. We finished off fat@$$fest with the mango sticky rice. Well, the taste was impeccable with the just perfectly ripen mangoes, I would suggest just slightly more coconut sauce, but keep in mind I am an Asian American, not an Asian Asian.The service was wonderful and each of the people serving us was on top of our table without being overbearing. And the best part was for all of that we spent around $66 without tip. I highly recommend if you are in the Melrose area and really looking for some authentic, delicious Thai food.“
“Wow, some of the best Thai food I’ve had and at very reasonable prices. Truly enjoyed the basil pad Thai as well as the Tom Yum soup. Service was quick and friendly and the food is really a standout. Hope to come back here soon.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available“
“Delicious healthy food and very courteous and kind management and staff.Vegetarian options: My wife and I mostly eat a Vegetarian Cuisine here we both love eggplant and we try to purchase dishes made with eggplant often eggplant and tofuParking: Directly behind the building might be hard to get to your first time because of traffic congestion and one way traffic restrictions.“
“Pho and Rice really impressed me, especially their Bun Bo Hue, which is the best I've ever had. Generous portions, rich flavors, and a cozy atmosphere make it a must-visit spot. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine.“
“If you haven’t eaten here you certainly should, it’s a hidden gem with the best dumplings I have ever tasted. The lady who owns and runs it is a fantastic personality and a joy to see for every short occasion. I would have posted a photo to show how perfectly crisp they are but I ate them before I thought to post and ate them far too quickly. The homemade dumpling sauce is such a compliment. Highly recommend going out of your way to make it here for the times it’s open you wouldn’t regret it.“
“I really fell in love with the sushi bomb roll. I ordered it from DoorDash with some vegetables rolls & both were great. It was my first time trying sushi as well from an actual restaurant so it was very Good to me. The sushi was 15 dollars & the rolls were 5 dollars in my opinion it was totally worth it. I’m going to bring my family there one of these days to try out other stuff they have.“
“This place is great. I work at BU and once a month or so I make it here for lunch. It's consistently good and the employees are always friendly. It's casual and perfect for a midday meal. And look up their story online- it's so sweet. Nud Pob means "meeting place" in Thai.“
“I always get the Thai PhoGreat quality and used to be less than $16 but with extra meat and tip it's getting over $20 with tax and I just feel like I might stop the extra meet now :c but not their fault. Inflation sucks :D but great PHO will come back.“
“The food was excellent so I'd give 5 stars just for that but they went above and beyond to cater to our kids food allergies, which is always difficult when you are traveling and have to eat out.The lady then took time to speak with our boys, ask them they're name and wrote it out in Thai on a piece of paper for them to take home as well as teach them how to pronounce it. Our boys were super happy.I would 100% return.Dietary restrictions: Allergies“
“After Plaster Funtime with the kids, I was searching for somewhere easy to eat with my kiddos but wanted to expose them to something they hadn't had before and that I loved. Pho!!! ?28 Bistro has a low key vibe, great music in the background, and the owner who works the register and tables(at least that Sunday) was delightful.The food was absolutely delicious! I had to order an 18yo, a 14yo, and a 7 yo. 29 Bistro didn't disappoint.Apps: Seaweed Salad, Short Ribs, and CalamariEntree options: Beef Pho, 2 x Seafood Pho, and Duck Pho (these aren't the names of the dishes, but the main ingredients within).My kids were loving the flavor, enjoying every moment of the experience, and had a bunch left over for lunch the next day despite being super full.I enjoyed it all. The Dutch Pho was absolutely amazing and while I over did it a bit in the apps, flavorwise, it was all amazing.Oh, we capped it off with various flavors of boaba tea!You've gotta check out 29 Bistro. I'll sure be back!!“
“Mi Soul is a great miso soup ramen, the pork is esp tender and generous.Ten Yum was solid, very simple(just noodle and shrimp) and was mild/medium spicy.Poke was good, fish was very clean tasting, and a good amount of rice. I only wish they had spicy mayo as an option, more Seaweed or furikake for crispyness, and a little more cabbage to go with the large amount of rice. Great to have the option given the other poke spots are about a mile away.“
“This spot has always had really good food. Unfortunately, I think people often drive by because of the location. Also, they were closed for awhile, and I didn't realize that they had reopened. To tell you the truth, a lot of the Chinese food I've had from other places lately has been very disappointing. So we were thrilled to see that they had reopened and their food has actually improved since last time we ordered, pre-pandemic! My husband and I ordered an appetizer sampler, sesame chicken and pork fried rice. Everything was crispy, all the right flavors and fresh. I really hope people don't just drive by to the other very overrated spot on Route 1. Out of Asia has taken precautions for social distancing in their establishment and are reasonably priced. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.“
“I ordered pad thai and rice noodles. Of all the pho restaurants I've tried since coming to Boston, this was the most delicious and friendly. The staff’s delicacy and professionalism gave me a great sense of trust! I was disappointed that the Pad Thai noodles were a bit short, but the seasoning was just right and I ordered it with a fork and was satisfied with both the quantity and taste.The rice noodles also have less MSG flavor, are refreshing, and have quite a lot of meat. It had a clean rice noodle flavor, so it suited my taste ^^“
“This place is great. Recommended by a friend that said he's had all of the chef specials and nothing ever disappoints. The atmosphere is lovely and service is great. They were very attentive in filling water and making sure things all came out great. Fair to say I found a new favorite spot.“
“Great curry here. The delivery fried tofu is no match for the one at the restaurant though. The last time I went in person it was so crisp and delicious and the one I had delivered felt like it was reheated from a fried tofu packet. Please bring back the crispy one it was so good!“
“I'd say I'm pretty selective when it comes to chicken dishes and this place has the best hainanese chicken around! Also moo deng dish is tasty. Thai green tea isn't bad. Unfortunately, not a fan of the pad thai. Decently sized restaurant but it always looked half empty from the outside.“
“Finally tried dining in at Phu-Ket after only having it via takeout after all these years. It's small from the outside, but cute and intimate on inside: quiet, more tables than I expected and clean, so I was blown away. I came here for dinner with my dad, and we got the Pork Tenderloin with Sticky Rice appetizer, Spicy Duck Fried Rice, and Seafood Pad Thai. All delicious and a great portion for the price. The price for all the items was about $40-$50, which is very reasonable. And with the takeout rice I got, that was still under $70. The service was a bit slow to start, but there were a lot of tables and takeout orders the whole night. So it's definitely popular, and I can see why. Even had a lovely chat with hostess and chefs after. I'll definitely be back! Bring your appetite and be willing to try new things!“
“Came for a late dinner on my partner's birthday and had the best time! Such a fun environment and the friendliest staff around. I've been dreaming of the crab curry and crispy pork since we left. A cool cocktail list, too. Can't wait to come back!“
