11 Best Thai Restaurants in Cambridge

“I grew up in Thailand and have spent most of my life living between Australia and the U.S., so finding authentic Thai food can be tough but Sugar and Spice takes me right back to my childhood. I adore every dish I’ve tried but the Hor Mok has a special place in my heart. A true gem! Delicious, meaningful and unforgettable.“

“Great food!“

“Cannot emphasize enough how great Mae Asian Eatery is! We recently stopped in for dinner and would definitely return. The food was fantastic -- a Chinese-Thai fusion that was really yummy. The service was also outstanding. It was super fast (especially impressive considering how busy it was), everyone was very kind, and we got to speak with the owner afterward who told us about the food (the secret to how yummy it is? His wife is the chef!) and the history behind the name. Just an all-around great experience and cool local business we were happy to visit.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The service and food were amazing.“

“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 :)“

“Give this place a try! A small business that offers fresh and authentic Thai food at an affordable price. We came there for lunch and there had been a photo session going on (for their meals). We waited outside for 5 mins while the photographers were wrapping up. We ordered the papaya salad, basil fried rice, and boat noodle. All of them were delicious and taking us back to Thailand. The papaya salad was great. We asked for a medium spicy and we got medium. They used both red and green chili’s and it just tasted so refreshing. The basil fried rice was the best. It’s so fragrant that I couldn’t remember when I had such fried rice for the last time. Perhaps in Thailand. It’s so mouth watering and not too salty. The boat noodle was also yummy. The beef was very generous and they used lots of herbs and you can really taste the richness (yet not heavy) of the broth. This is a small business so you might see some unorganised stuff in the corner. But it’s not unappealing or anything like that. We were just wondering that they could’ve had more space for more customers had they cleaned it up. But I would definitely come back.“

“A Creative Thai Fusion Journey!

Black Ruby: Thai Craft Burger is truly a culinary adventure. Every dish I tried felt like a journey through bold creativity and refined Thai flavors. I ordered the burrata mushroom salad, mussels in red curry with rice wine, the Massaman burger, and tom yum shrimp pasta — and every single dish was absolutely amazing and delicious.

The flavor profiles were imaginative yet balanced, showing how much thought goes into their menu. It’s rare to find a place where every plate stands out on its own, but Black Ruby truly delivers.

Even though the shop was very busy during my visit, the staff managed everything smoothly. They were warm, welcoming, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even better.

I highly recommend this spot — especially for Bostonians who want a great place to host friends, family, or out-of-town guests. It’s the perfect hangout for anyone looking to share unique, adventurous, and unforgettable flavors.

Definitely a must-try!“
