50 Best Thai Restaurants near Melrose

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

“I love their pad Thai!! Ga grob is my favorite kind. It's a boneless piece of fried chicken sliced up and set on top of the pad Thai noodles. I get the peanut sauce to put over it. Their peanut sauce is also amazing!! Thick and creamy with a spicy kick. Pad Thai noodles delicious and sweet. Always packed up nice and neat. My food is always hot and they make it within 15 minutes. Place is always clean, plenty of parking and customs service is excellent. I would highly recommend that you try this place. You will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

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

“The best chicken..:definitely“

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

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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.“

“Good food, good service. Staff is so friendly. Great place to eat.“

“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!“

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

“I have no idea what magic they do with their fried chicken, but I've never had anything like it. We were driving back and forth to Boston for hospital visits for months, and we stopped here for takeout on our way home since it was at the halfway mark just on a whim. Now we make it a point to swing by even when it's out of the way because the food is so good. Servings are just the right size, food is fresh. Also nice to see some less common offerings like nom yen and tom yum pad Thai! Only street parking is available, but there's a small free lot nearby so it's not too bad.“

“Soi Siam Thai food is absolutely amazing every dish is full of flavor and clearly made with care. The service is top-notch as well
the staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.

Definitely a place I’ll be coming back for more!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“It was very good.. must try..“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The service and food were amazing.“

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

“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.“

“Dinner at Thai Cafe was phenomenal. If you have not been here I highly recommend you check them out !!! #flavortown #AllLynn Lynn Eats“

“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.“

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

“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 :)“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“i really like the food🍣🍤🍱🌈🇺🇸🗽👯‍♀️😍😻“

“I’ve lived in Thailand for 3 years (Huai-Kwang) and I can confidentially say this restaurant resembles the closest tastes to the food I’ve eaten during my time there.

I have tried at least 15 different Thai places in Boston and I will say - this is the best.

The flavors are as close to Thailand as you can get, which I never thought could be replicated here. It took me back for a minute lol.

I will still have to try some dishes, like som tam, to see if it has that taste I’m used to… or if it’s lacking dried shrimp.

This location is also significantly better and more authentic than the other Laughing Monk locations.“

“Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere. Yummy drinks“

“I really enjoyed my visit here! The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the sticky rice gave it a nice unique touch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was great from start to finish. Definitely a place I’d come back to again! 🍣💛“

“This place is SO SO good. It isn't that I didn't like all of Brookline's many strong solid Thai options it is just that this place wow'd me from the start. Every dish I get here is just a notch above other places.“

“Read the online reviews and decided to give this place a try. It was very good. We liked everything we ordered- mango sticky rice, blue elephant matchsticks, fried egg rice, orange chicken, chicken satay. We ordered lots to try different dishes. Picky eaters were happy too. Not a lot of seating, but nice interior. Front door let's the cold air inside, keep your jacket handy. Friendly and competent staff, food was delivered quickly for made-to-order.“

“Secret find!! Food is amazing 😉!!!“

“Excellent! Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken“
