50 Best Thai Restaurants near Melrose

“10/10It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a takeaway restaurant with very caring packaging. The food tastes delicious? and the portions are generous.Today I tried thai tea, green curry, snack moo pbing, and dessert mango rice.All delicious! Highly recommended“

“It's fine, maybe 3 and a half. I think it is not as high quality as some of the places around here and you know it's a take out place, not a fancy sit down restaurant. I think it would be ideal for hanging around with some folks, drinking a couple of beers and watching sports or something. The prices are great, the portions are great, the food, well it's good not great. I still reccomend and it is a great addition to Melrose long term. The tempura (and there is a lot of it) seems to be more like you would get for the breading in a sweet and sour recipe at a standard Chinese American storefront. I do like that you can choose the spiciness. The price to quality ratio is such that it gets the four, but there is higher quality thai food in the area if you are introducing someone for the first time. Let me add that the woman that worked there was friendly as hell and I showed up early and she apologized for it not being ready like she was a magician or something.“

“Very small spot on the corner. I was by myself so I was able to be pointed to a seat on the corner window by the door. It was really noisy and crowded in that spot. I ate quickly, and don’t stay long.The ladies were all nice who served me.I ordered chicken pad Thai medium. I felt the “medium” was more bland than should have. I prefer more spice. I also asked for double protein but the one gal didn’t get it communicated in time. No biggie, just didn’t get it. Saved $3 by not adding it.Prices were decent. Service was fast. Food was good. Would recommend to others but maybe for takeout.“

“Some of the best Thai food I have ever had. The fried chives were so good. The curries were so different and delicious. The shrimp and pomelo salad along with the green papaya was tasty. They have a bar opening soon and I can wait to check it out!Vegetarian options: Quite a few options to make things vegetarian or that are vegetarian.“

“It was an enjoyable lunch overall. The wait initially between placing an order and the appetizers coming out was a bit long but once the appetizers came out, the rest of the meal came out quickly too, with generous portions. All three of us left VERY full and barely could finish the three noodle soups and two appetizers!“

“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 “

“I order once a week from here. That's how much I love it. The rice is flavorful and the chicken is so delicious! 10/10 and highly recommend. The portion sizes are generous and fill you up. I tried the sweet and sour chicken tonight that my sister ordered. I was expecting that sweet and sour chicken I see in the mall with a batter coating. Their sweet and sour is in this amazing sauce and I can see the chicken. This is hands down the best sweet and sour I've ever had and will order for myself the next time I order. Order from here for your next meal. You won't be disappointed!PS: please post reviews so that small business can stay in business in Stoneham.“

“I've had a lot of friends recommend what da chick and I've driven by so many times and I finally had to chance to try it out. The parking situation is a little weird, but there are a few 2 hr spots across the road. The inside of the restaurant is a little odd as the full menu is posted outside on the window. The woman inside was very helpful though, and I ordered the Thai coffee and the crispy chicken rice. There is a small seating area in another room so I sat to wait but the food came out surprisingly quickly! I ordered takeout so I didn't get to try it right away, but when I got home it was still warm and crispy despite it looking like it was going to be soggy. The portion was actually pretty big and the rice was great! They also gave a lot of chicken too. The coffee was also very refreshing and sweet. This is already a 5/5 for me, but I bet if you eat it fresh it'll be even better! Looking forward to the next time I can come back!!“

“This Thai restaurant in Cambridge, MA was a fantastic discovery! The food was exceptionally delicious, and we enjoyed every dish we ordered. The vegetable salad with blue rice was a delightful surprise, with its vibrant colors. The service was also excellent, with smiles all around. The only downside was the need for improvement in their furniture seats and decor. Nonetheless, we’ll definitely be coming back on our next visit to Boston for the marathon.“

“We've been going to Cha Yen regularly since they opened, and their Thai food is a blessing to the Watertown community! The food is always delicious and fresh, and they are excellent at accommodating substitutions. We normally do takeout, but dine in is also great and we can't wait until they open their larger space across the street. If you are looking for excellent Thai food, give Cha Yen a chance!“

“Very good local Thai place. They have a small-medium menu, but they do it very well.I think everyone, including myself, was surprised when we walk in and get greeted by a very *enthusiastic* staff :).Going to try more of their menu but their pad thai is amazing. Big portion, and super saucy, so if you like less of a 'dry' pad thai, I'd definitely recommend it.They've also got a small market to buy some basic Thai staples if you're so inclined. I will probably try some of the Thai flavor lays next time I am there.“

“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“

“Great Thai every time, will be back. The scallion pancakes are exceptional-- one of the best around for miles. The veggie pad Thai is also amazing, I went for lunch. Large portions on the pad Thai lasted 3 meals for me. Reasonable prices and decent ambience, kind and friendly service that doesn't miss anything. Try the Thai tea-- $2.50 and comes with a very cute tea cup and teapot!“

“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!“

“If you’re in the area, this place is a MUST try. Our bellies were so happy & the service was phenomenal.We ordered the scallion pancake, pad thai, and thai ice tea. I enjoyed every bite of the crispy, flakey scallion pancake. Super yummy pad thai.Definitely will be back again. Thank you Bangkok Pinto “

“I came here with my family on a whim (our plans to go to a different restaurant were foiled by the marathon). The restaurant is spacious and certainly has a wide array of options. There were some things that I enjoyed, but overall I would rather go to more specialized places for these dishes.I had the Hokkaido Don ($27.95) because I'm a sucker for ikura, sweet shrimp, and scallop. This was pretty good but could've been better. The ikura (salmon eggs) were a bit deflated, so I don't think they were that fresh. The other seafood was decent. The rice was overwhelmingly sour (too much rice vinegar?) so I didn't feel compelled to eat it. The accompanying miso soup was quite salty. My brother had the Sake Don ($22.95), and we both wholeheartedly agreed that Tora Sushi was far superior in terms of value and taste.I also tried a bit of the other dishes. The beef noodle soup was actually quite tasty (not sweet), and the pad see ew was pretty good.Overall Maguro does many dishes decently well, but not enough to choose it over specialized restaurants.“

“Crying Thaiger had a super cute atmosphere and the food was delicious. I got Thai iced coffee, fried tofu (the sauce was so good), and Pad Thai with Tofu. There were lots of vegetarian and gluten free options which was awesome. The servers were very friendly.Dietary restrictions: The menu was clearly marked for vegetarian, gluten free, and spice level for all of the items.“

“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!“

“AMAZING little restaurant between Porter and Davis Sq. in the Somerville/ Cambridge area. The menu is straight forward, delicious and under $10! wonder why is full of millennial kids! The food quality is amazing. These guys have a small, very consistent and tasty menu. A good alternative to the former Roo Dee (Porter Sq.) I can't belive that I have been living in the area for so long without discovering this small but awesome restaurant. Chef Jose Barriga Cambridge Food Lab“

“YUM ? first of all, I lived in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a year and this place is pretty authentic. Love that they have northern dishes that a lot of Thai places don’t have on the menu. Loved Gai Yang, Khao khai jiao, and Chiang Mai noodle soup (Khao soi). Delivery is fast and they always include little foreign treats. This is my go to Thai spot :)“

“We happened upon this place on a date night. The food was good. I had the Pad Thai and my husband liked the Tom Yum Pad Thai. Not much seating, but we had the whole place to ourselves as this seems to be mostly for take out. We will be back again!“

“OMG! This place was awesome!!! Came here for lunch and what a gem! Love the atmosphere and decor of a small diner. Service was excellent and the food was so fresh and delicious. Parking is a bit trickery because of the location. We actually parked in the CVS parking lot and walked across. But definitely if in the area make sure to stop in. Only place to find Crazy Noodles which my husband couldn't stop talking about. Mixture of large noodles with fresh veggies.“

“If you want standard American Chinese food then order off the lunch special menu. If you want authentic Chinese food you must order off the dinner menu.They are a Szechuan restaurant so I would recommend ordering dishes like the peppercorn chicken or the Szechuan beef. Szechuan string beans are also really good.“

“Great Asian place! They have a seperate vegetarian menu, and the dishes are just delicious. The ambience and service are great with polite welcoming for guests.Vegetarian options: They have a seperate vegetarian menu that you can select from.“

“This place serves really good ramen! I had the black tonkotsu ramen and on a seprate ocassion, I ordered one of their rice bowls and loved it. I am planning to try more of their menu because it is m worth the price.The place is pretty small, but it's also worth waiting here! The staff are nice and did not hesitate to make space for us to sit because it would have been too cold for us to be waiting outside.“

“This has to be the best Thai restaurant in Allston. I absolutely love their crispy pad Thai with chicken.Everything I get here I love. I have never got a bad dish here.The food comes out so fast too. My boyfriend and I sat down ordered and within. 15 minutes our food was at our table.It's like magic. And I must know how they do it.The atmosphere is so cool!They have a cute collection of butterflies on the walls and a lot of different items as well.11/10 recommend going to this place!“

“Ordered takeout for two. Everything we ordered was prepared well and tasted great. I want to try other items, but, with how good everything was, it's going to be hard to not order the exact same items. Portions were enough for 4 small/medium sized meals.The order consisted of the following:Thai Spicy Crab Rangoons (homemade, medium spiciness).Red Curry with chicken. Served with white rice.Pad See You with chicken“

“Wow. Loads of succulent roast duck included with the Panang Curry. Duck was juicy and lightly crispy, delightful. Level-five spicy had a great zing, just enough to start the heat sniffles. Loved it. Even a few hotter levels on a future trip would be awesome. Would love to come back if I'm in the area again. Huge menu of interesting selections and everything I saw coming from the kitchen looked really inviting. Kudos! Quick seating for two on a Saturday night just after 6pm, but it filled up quickly by 6:30 with a small gathering of eager eaters waiting for tables. It's worth the wait.“

“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.“

“This is just one of Laughing Monk's locations! This location is closer to Boston in the Allston area so it's much easier to get to with public transportation. Food: I got the Tom Yum soup and the Pork Belly skewers. The soup was so hearty, delicious, and warm. I loved the sourness of the soup. Unfortunately, the noodles were clumpy and were breaking apart. This is such a fixable mistake so that wasn't great. The pork had good seasoning and liked the fish sauce it was paired with. Ambiance: This is a smaller location than the Wellesley or Boston locations but allows for more casual dining. Price: It was about $18 for the soups. Not bad for Boston pricing but I wish there were more noodles in the soup and that the noodles had been loosened before. Overall, I would go again just to try other dishes and it offers Thai dishes that not every restaurant offers.“

“I can tell this is the real deal. Authentic and affordable Thai food compare to other Thai restaurants I tried. I love the Tom yum soup very tasty & pad thai noodle. Their service is top notch & friendly atmosphere. I live in Boston but I will order from here again :) ..my go to for take out“

“Great place for Thai food in the Belmont/Watertown area. While they do a lot of takeout orders, their dine in experience was really great. The pad see-ew was delicious and their spring rolls and gyoza were very good as well. Try the Mango over ice for a nice drink pairing.“

“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.“

“Went here during my stay at the Maverick Suites apartments up the street and it was so yummy! I've had food from a couple other neighboring restaurants and I definitely prefer this place, will definitely come here again on my next Boston trip. I got the G3 Chicken Mango Curry and G4 Indonesian Fried Rice Chef's Suggestions and loved them. So flavorful and the cafe itself is really chill!“

“Good Thai and Korean dishes served at this restaurant ?. Their menu offers many choices, from Japanese to Thai and Korean dishes. We ordered Thai dishes, and we prefer spicier foods. They didn't disappoint they were very tasty, just enough heat like we prefer ? .Well worth the try ?“

“Definitely get the Tom Yum Goong - it was on the sweeter side, so I asked for chili peppers to be added in. I highly recommend the duck green curry too. It’s hard to find woon sen in this area and they had it! Finished the meal with mango sticky rice. All were delicious.“

“I tried Soi8 for the first time and it was delicious! I have had sushi all over the world and this is some of the best! The Tuna Tataki was a great start! And the Sex on the Beach roll was amazing! I like spicy tuna and this was just perfect! I plan to bring family, friend and clients here!!Parking: I parked right out front.“

“I'm sad to see this place has a lower rating than I would've expected!! my friend and I stopped by here for their lunch special on a weekday. the hostess and waitresses were very kind to us and very accommodating. my friend asked if the duck green curry was available for the lunch menu and even though it wasn't, they offered to make it for her anyway and charged lunch pricing! portions were HUGE and very worth the cost. Food came out super quick too. papaya salad wasn't the freshest but it had solid flavor. I loved the Mee Nam (noodle soup w cha Shu); big portions of meat and had extra portions to take home. The green curry my friend got was surprisingly not that spicy at all (even though she asked for spice) and they also gave her a huge portion. Highly recommend this place for lunch in beacon hill, I think it's very worth the price.“

“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.“

“It's a good place to get Thai food and Sushi.I give the Masseman Curry and Siam Garden dishes a solid B and my partner feels the same about the Sushi. Thai Ice Tea is decent. We have been there around 10 times over 6 years. Food seems a bit improved recently.“

“I am leaving this review of Thai Cafe after ordering takeout through Uber eats a handful of times. It is among my favorite spots for hot, fresh, delicious Thai food. The portions are very generous and they do not skimp on vegetables and toppings in their noodle dishes. My particular favs include the Pad See Ew, Drunken Noodles, and Pad Thai. I love that the vegetables are vibrant and have a nice bite to them -- never sad and overcooked. The Tom yum soup and fresh rolls are excellent as well. Service is top notch, too. After placing my most recent order online, I received a call from a very friendly worker who wanted to confirm one of the special requests I'd made on an item in my order. I thought that was so nice! My only word of caution is to be careful if you order anything made spicy here. I have a very high heat tolerance, and I could barely handle the drunken noodles I'd asked to be made this way. Not a criticism -- the chef did as I had asked -- but wowowow... be prepared! Overall, this spot is a great find.“

“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!“

“I am not exaggerating when I tell you I’ve probably eaten here at least once a week for almost a year. 9Zaab is my fav neighborhood spot, they literally never miss. I have tried at least half the menu and it’s all perfect but honorable mention to the crispy chicken basil, sukiyaki and tom yum fried rice.“

“Stopped by for a rainy weekend late lunch. We were seated right away. I ordered the bun bo hue and it was very good. Soup was savory, not too salty. I ordered the steamed mixed veggies on the side, probably wouldn't do it again for the 3.95 price point - very small portion and the veggies were barely steamed. Good experience overall, will come back just for the bun bo hue!“

“Do what I do. Ask for a large entree. Decline the rice or noodles. Instead of choosing 3 things to add to the large entree, choose 2: the grilled-looking chicken and the steamed-looking broccoli. They ought to fill the container with those 2. The sauce they put on that chicken is carbs aplenty and you get a delicious balanced meal for less than $10. Used to go here near daily for work. Miss this spot.“

“I have never had a bad experience in all the times I've been here. The staff are nice and the food is excellent! My favorites are the roti, fried pearl noodle, ginger duck noodle soup, basil fried rice, pineapple fried rice, and curry fish fillet pot.“

“Though, I have yet to have the pleasure of dining here in person, I have ordered from this restaurant several times since coming to Boston. I have never been to restaurant with such consistent food quality and service. Everytime, I enter the restaurant, I am met with smiles and bright greetings and not only are there prices amazing but the food is excellent as well.“

“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 ^^“

“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!“

“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.“
