50 Best Thai Restaurants near Melrose

“Very good Thai food. Best Thai food I've had in years. Ordered the green curry, the crab fried rice and the Khao soi. Everything was excellent. The food was nice and hot and freshly prepared. Great flavors and nice spice level. We are driving there right now to eat there again because we are craving their delish dishes. Yum!“

“Delicious! The staples are great, noodles, sauces (I recommend the spicy basil dish Fancy Tofu), and there’s also a mix and match menu so you can create your own signature dish. It also nice that the location is so easy for pickup. Day is busier, but by dinner you can usually pull right up or park right across the street at the train station.“

“Best place for Thai food in and around Boston, period. The Basil Fried rice is one of the best I’ve ever had (as good as the best ones in NYC) . You also must try their Kapow Dumplings (the sauce is ❤️)! Definitely my go to place for Thai!“

“We go to this restaurant about once a month.Frist thing to do is get a cup of Thai tea. It's so nice with the hot weather! I really like this restaurant environment, their decoration is so beautiful, it gives people a calm feeling. Their food was so hot and delicious. we ordered a lot of it every time. The owner also a very nice sweet person! My kids love her. You know most time, kids hate staying in the restaurant! I love this restaurant so much!“

“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!!“

“The best chicken..:definitely“

“A very popular Thai restaurant in Porter Square. I’ve been here several times, and the dishes are generally good. The papaya salad, spring rolls, fried shrimp and tom yum soup noodles were very good. However, the coconut cream-based curry soup noodles were too much salty and greasy, and the noodles were dry. Despite this, I would still recommend it as the best Thai restaurant in the Cambridge area!“

“The best Thai food I’ve ever had. Truly fantastic.“

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

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

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

“I'm not typically a review guy but this place is truly incredible. Chicken, rice, and daikon soup is all some of the best I've had in Boston, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and it's a cute little place to eat in or get takeout. Highly recommend the spicy chicken and the chive cakes, and can't wait to go back!“

“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“

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

“Small place with authentic Thai offerings and great service! For appetizers, my wife and I had the shumai and crab rangoons. For entrees we had the pork belly curry and the grilled lemongrass chicken. Delicious and would definitely recommend!“

“Originally only got some mango sticky rice for take out but when I went in, the restaurant smelled so good. I ended up getting the red curry as well and it was perfectly spicy and sweet. One of the best curries I have ever had and good serving size with decent amount of meat. Will be coming back for more soon!“

“This Thai restaurant was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint—absolutely delicious!

The Leng Zapp was amazing: the soup is sour and spicy, and while the first sip might be intense, it gets tastier once you get used to the flavour. The pork ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful—highly recommend! The pork leg had a slightly sweet taste, but it was well-seasoned and paired perfectly with the rice. The overall price is reasonable too.

The only downside is the limited seating, so be sure to arrive early!“

“It was very good.. must try..“

“Absolutely outstanding Thai food…and in Brighton of all places! Each dish is truly authentic and flavorful. The cocktails are excellent and well balanced. I’m particularly impressed by the pad Thai because the noodles are served al dente with a good chew, instead of being overcooked like many other establishments.

The only issue I have is with the atmosphere, it’s a small space so the tables are crammed fairly close. Also the seats are really uncomfortable. The food makes it worth it though!

I’ve been here three times and I am still excited to come back again. If you’re coming on the weekends, make sure to reserve as it gets busy.“

“Very welcoming. I got there about an hour before closing so I picked my food quickly. I had the Creamy Tum Yum and added a little chili oil to it for some spice. It is a great dish for someone who wants flavor with little to no heat. There was plenty of pork and two shrimp tails. I also had the Thai Tea which from the picture in the menu I was worried was a premade mix. Instead it came out fresh and required me to swirl it around to blend the cream. Perfect flavor and temperature. Not overly sweet like some places make it.

The atmosphere was laid back with some cool art work on the walls. Definitely gave a college town feel. The bathroom could use some work. It wasn't scary. It was clean and well stocked but it is definitely on the back burner when it comes to decorating.

I'm surprised they don't have merchandise. Their logo would be a cool patch on a hat. Seems like most restaurants are doing this now and I'm here for it. Better than buying shot glasses.

Anyways, check the place out for some good hot pots, ramen, etc. when in the area.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Lovely family restaurant vibe, sweetest staff with great service. Fast and attentive. Delicious and generous food, accommodated all requests. The drunken noodles are so comforting, flavorsome and spicy. They are much better than nud pob in my opinion in terms of both service and food quality.

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating!“

“Was in town for a few days and was told that this place was amazing ahead of time so managed to snag a reservation. Glad I did as it lived up to my expectations. The food was great, I recommend the crispy chicken skin to start. Those were some of the best crunch I've ever had. For the main, I went and tried the Crab meat fried rice and it too was awesome. Will come back whenever I get the chance when I'm in the area again. Book a reservation as I think they're always busy because of how good the food is. Oh, and the ambiance of the restaurant was really good too. It's a bustling restaurant but not too loud which is what I like.“

“Superbly flavorful Thai food. We've gotten takeout from here multiple times and the food never misses.

We also highly appreciate that they can make all the dishes vegetarian or vegan as per your request. And even the veggie/vegan variants are delicious!

The Thai couple who run this place clearly know what they're doing. A true gem of the Wakefield community. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

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

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

“Beautifully plated and always delicious. The staff is phenomenal and caring and attentive and the owner is a wonderful man. Always goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy“

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

“We ate here on a Wednesday and it was very quiet. Too quiet in our view as the food and service was outstanding. We have two youngsters in the age of 14-16 years and they loved it and so did we. We would advise everyone to come here at least one night to taste the outstanding combination of Thai, Malay and Indonesian food!“

“I had a wonderful dine in experience at Laughing Monk in Boston! The food was incredibly good truly authentic Thai! The menu was special and exciting with so many tempting options. The taste was so wonderful, I felt like I was eating in Bangkok. We drove 1.5 hours to get here, and it was absolutely worth it! I can't wait to return!“

“Great food!“

“We enjoyed our Thai Pancakes, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Mango Sticky Rice. The staff was so sweet with my son too. He's 2 years old and still learning to eat outside quietly. He approves of the Thai Pancakes...he tried to stuff a whole one in his mouth. Going back to try their fried rice...my Dad made Thai Fried Rice for us growing up. So, I am excited to try theirs.

Also, I am gluten free and dairy free. So, all the dishes we've tried meet those requirements.“

“Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere. Yummy drinks“

“Very NewYork-esk. We got there by bycicle. I do recommend to have a locking cable for your bicycle(s) once you get there. Across the street theres a parkin lot, but I dont know if it belonges to the Japense place across the street. Thaitations is hole on the wall kind of spot. With great service and even greater tasty food. We actually saw Asian people in the back cooking the food. Lol. BUT the place does need more love and restoring, to make the bathrooms and ceiling, at least, more appealing to the eye. People nowadays take pictures whereever they go these days, specially where they go eating, and I, as a tourist, like to go to places where not only the food and service is great, but also the ambiance. Which is the reason why I gave this place 3⭐️ for atmosphere... Now, the food and service deserves 5⭐️. The people who attended us were fast in acknowledging our presence as soon as we went inside, (you jave to pull the doors a bit hard due to some positive air pressure inside), and giving us a table and menu. The menu has plenty of choices. All delicious choices. Including vegan. I liked that they go into detail about all the ingredients for each choice. ⚠️CAUTION: if you don't like spicy food, or spicy food doesn't sit well with you, this is not your style of cuisine. But if you do like spicy, you'll find this is AMAZING FOOD. I ordered the Roasted Duck Curry. It came in a ceramic pot. The presentation was excellent and the flavors even better. Accompanied with white rice that I poured inside the pot. And enjoyed with water and an Iced Lemon Tea. Let me tell you about this tea. It is amazing. Sure, it is a bit steep in price for iced tea. But it is worth it. It felt like I was drinking a medicinal, refreshing, tasty elixir. If someone can remake this drink and add vodka in it. It would be the sensation of the party. I also had a coffee ☕️ (which they served in a ceramic cup. I hate it when I am served hot drinks at a restaurant in a foam cup). So I really liked that.) And for dessert I had the Vanilla Fried Ice cream. Imagine the flavor of a warm crunchy donut, with sesame seeds and honey on it, with the insides of a cold vanilla icecream...yeah...I know.“

“So clean! Friendly staff. Sat at the bar and we conversed with the sushi chef. Five stars!“

“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“

“Allergy friendly. Accommodating to dairy and egg free. Also they don’t cook with MSG and was able to alter the pad Thai so it wasn’t cooked with fish sauce. My MIL usually reacts to Thai food but she felt good after eating here! So glad they could accommodate us. Food was yummy. The beef satay was a little on the tough side however. We still enjoyed our food very much.“

“Excellent! Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken“

“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.“

“Yum yum yum! Great food, friendly service and the decor is fun as well. Chicken satay and peanut sauce is one of my favorite dishes. We ordered for pickup but they forgot an item, and they were kind enough to deliver it to our house so we didn’t need to go back up for pick up. Looking forward to going again!“

“You had me at chili oil. Phenomenal from beginning to end. Exceeded my expectations in flavor. I highly recommend. Both dishes (my husband’s and mine) were flavorful, perfect sized portion and speedy! We received our food no more than 10 minutes after we placed it with our waitress, who took out from memory. Cute, cozy place that is good for all meals of the day.“

“Real Thai Taste..Try Boat noodle soup and Ka prow..you will love every bite..“

“Pepper Sky's is a cosy Thai restaurant run by a nice family, just near where we were staying during our trip to the Boston-Cambridge area. The food is delightfully good and we decided to come here for dinner on 2 occasions! We had their Crispy chicken with fried rice and tom yum soup, and iced thai tea the first time. The portions were so large that we were glad we ordered to share. The crispy fried chicken is indeed crispy on the outside with their homemade crust and tender on the inside. the second time we were there, we ordered the classic Pad Thai fried noodle, Green Curry with noodles and another order of the Crispy chicken with fried rice. The quality of the food is consistently good - so authentic to the South East Asian taste! You must definitely try this place out when you are in the area.“

“The best place in Boston. Amazing food and customer service at an awesome and affordable price point. Has options for everyone, including gluten free. Will come here again and again.

Dietary restrictions: gluten free and lactose free options“

“The people are amazingly helpful. The food was so good. We had ordered a delivery from Grubhub but love to go in person.“

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

“So I noticed that Newton has a restaurant called Coconut Cafe, and I thought it would be funny to get a picture of a Lime Bike inside the front door, because “you put the Lime in the Coconut” and all that, so I went over there today, and the place turns out to be pretty nice and I was already feeling like this wouldn’t be a particularly polite (or funny) joke, but anyway the closest Lime Bike I could find was about a block away, and when I tried picking it up to bring it over to Coconut Cafe to maybe get a “put the lime *by* the coconut” photo instead, the bike started talking to me, saying “PLEASE PAY ME A DOLLAR AND YOU CAN RIDE ME! PLEASE PUT ME DOWN OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE! THIS IS YOUR SECOND WARNING, I AM ABOUT TO CALL THE POLICE.” and I decided that this stupid joke wasn’t worth getting arrested for and at that point I was too annoyed to pay the dollar to unlock the bike to ride it a grand total of about 30 feet for a joke photo that the owner of the shop would justifiably get mad at me for anyway, so I left the bike there and just had lunch instead (Bangkok-style veggie pad thai, they told me it would take 15 minutes but then it was ready in about 1.5 minutes, so that was nice) and it was delicious. Thank you for reading my story have a nice day.“
