50 Best Thai Restaurants near Needham

“Little Spoon is a Thai restaurant tucked into a corner of Main Street in Needham with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to settle into for a relaxed dinner. The space has a cute, unique quality to it and the menu covers a wide range of Thai dishes including ramen, curries, noodles, and rice dishes, which gives a table with different preferences plenty of directions to go.

The pad see ew and basil fried rice are both solid orders that cover familiar ground competently. The noodles on the pad see ew have decent wok character and the basil fried rice is well seasoned and aromatic, though neither dish pushed beyond what you would expect from a good neighborhood Thai spot. The mango sticky rice is a satisfying finish and the sticky rice texture is on point, though the mango itself can vary depending on the season. The Thai tea is well made and a natural complement to the spicier dishes on the table.

Across everything we ordered the food was consistently good without being particularly memorable, landing in that comfortable range where you leave satisfied but not necessarily thinking about it the next day. For a weeknight dinner close to home it works well and the portion sizes are reasonable for the price. The menu is large enough that there is probably a higher ceiling to explore on return visits with some of the more distinctive options like the khao soi, tamarind wings, or crispy duck.

Service and pickup accuracy have been inconsistent based on different visits, so dining in tends to produce a smoother experience than ordering out. As a neighborhood Thai option in Needham it fills the gap well enough.“

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

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

“We visited Sen Yai Noodles for lunch on a hot day, and it turned out to be a wonderful choice. The restaurant is small, clean, and very inviting, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent—our waiter answered our questions and offered helpful recommendations.
The menu has a good variety of dishes, and I especially appreciated that it included pictures of everything, which made choosing easier. The portions are large. I ordered the Unadon, which came with a complimentary Thai iced tea. The dish was delicious and looked fabulous. The Thai iced tea was refreshing and perfect for the hot day.“

“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!!“

“The best chicken..:definitely“

“The service was pretty fast and it was pretty cozy. The staff are really nice and the menus are really cute. Would definitely go here from time to time. They have cheap options and they have really exotic options if you want to budget or really go off for the night I had the boneless broth cause I just wanted to get in and out and the broth when I did put it in, I had never tasted a broth so flavorful before it was really good definitely would recommend“

“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“

“The food we have tried was so delicious! We ordered crying tiger and curry with crispy duck, The sauce is perfect with the veggies and the duck, roti massaman were delicious too!

We always ordered to go food every weekend!

The staff so nice and the place is cute with the good decorations“

“Green curry was fresh and delicious and the Thai basil rice , not heavy in oil but looks of flavor. Especially for New Year’s Eve. Everything taste very good and fresh.“

“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.“

“It was very good.. must try..“

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

“Chicken & Co is a Thai restaurant specializing in Chicken rice, offering different combos for their chicken rice as well as other traditional Thai dishes, desserts, or drinks.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, but decorated quite well and with many seating. The staff are friendly and make the food quite quick, and are able to offer suggestions on the food as well.

We got the crispy pork belly on rice, crispy chicken on rice, thai iced tea, and the mango sticky rice. The mango sticky rice was good, with a large rice portion. The mango itself felt a bit different than what we were used to, but still tasted good. The thai iced tea came separated in two layers, so we had to mix it to combine both. It tasted good, a little bit like powdered thai tea, but still great and with good flavor. One downside is that the lid it came with had no hole, so it wouldn't be good to drink in a car.

The crispy pork belly and chicken came with sizeable amounts of meat and quite a lot of rice. The Chicken had a great flavorful sauce, while the pork belly had a spicy tamarind sauce that didn't taste as good at the beginning, but was quite tasty after using it for a bit.“

“We’ve been coming here for close to 4 years. I used to live down the street but now make the 35 minute commute from Ashland just to get the food here.

The chicken pad Thai, seafood drunken noodles, red curry, and so many things are UNMATCHED. The service is always quick and extremely friendly.

Would recommend everyone to come here for take out or dine in.“

“Great tasting food and customer service is amazing. New ownership!!! Tried a bunch of apps and food. Fried gyozas were super crispy as well as the wings! nice noodle soups and I love the curry. I will have to be back to try more of the menu. Milk tea and Boba available as well as my always favorite Thai ice tea!“

“Some places just surprise you… in the best way.

Tucked away in Cambridge, this one felt warm, inviting, and effortlessly comforting. The kind of spot where you sit a little longer, order a little more, and don’t regret any of it.

We tried Simply Surprise, Sakoo Sai Gai, Kuay Teow Lui Suan, Chicken on Fire 🔥 and Set Nam Prik… and every plate brought something special to the table.

Flavors that feel bold yet comforting, familiar yet exciting… all at once.

This is one of those places you save… and keep coming back to 💛“

“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.“

“Make sure to bring cash, they offer a 10% cash discount! Great pho and thai food at an extremely reasonable price. Besides the pho, the thai eggplant and any of the curries are always a highlight. Can be a little bit of a wait on weekend evenings“

“My son and I stopped in for a bite since we'd been eyeing them for months. No disappointment for our anticipation!! The curry mango chicken was a bowl fit for royalty and served with the same flair. The curry spices were perfectly 👌🏾 balanced with the sweet and kind heat of the chili peppers.
Best was the wings of Teriyaki. They may as well been the wings 🪽 of Paradise. My sons are wing connoisseurs. Too bad the other one missed THIS because they were showstopping!! So juicy, they should be drank through a straw! But we'll be back and warned them so!😋😋😆😆😁“

“Delicious food in this little hot spot. Great stop after Trillium - pineapple fried rice is my favorite. :-)“

“Stopped here after work in June 2026. Wife had the massaman curry and I had the mango curry. Both were delicious. Had the satay chicken for a starter, also delicious. Atmosphere is great and seating is around 15 tables. Prices were also very reasonable for the amount of food. We will probably get 2 additional dinners from the curries. Would highly, highly recommend.“

“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.“

“We always enjoy getting their curry as part of a trip to the Arnold Arboretum. I prefer the yellow curry because it includes pineapple. We have not tried their other items. Sadly it is not dog friendly. There is no outdoor seating. They have both white rice and brown rice.“

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

“Love it here! I have been visiting this restaurant for many years... many yrs pre-kids and they are in their mid to late teens. Always delicious and always super friendly! I also now drive in from out of state... maybe 1.5hrs away. Worth the drive!“

“I’ve eaten at many restaurants around Boston, and this is easily my favorite so far. The food is an incredible blend of Thai and Italian flavors, with every dish feeling authentic and perfectly balanced. From the rich pasta dishes to the flavorful meats and beautifully crafted burger, everything was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor.

If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine, Italian cuisine, or creative fusion done the right way, I highly recommend this place. The quality of the ingredients, presentation, and taste are all outstanding. This is one of those restaurants that makes you want to come back again and again. Definitely a must-try when you’re in Boston. 🍝🍔🔥“

“It was worth the drive to this little gem. We did the omakase dinner which was a 10 course meal, that was presented very beautifully. Each dish was very flavorful and delicious. Both chefs were very sweet and made sure it was not too spicy and if everything was ok. Thai omakase was definitely an experience and was affordable compared to other omakase experience. We will definitely be back!“

“Thai place boston is the best place to get great thai food if you are in the area the wait staff is amazing and the food is so good I can’t wait for them to reopen so i can go back!“

“Such good food for a great price! The drunken crazy noodles and duck noodle soup were so so so good, absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, food came quickly, and the interior was calm and simply decorated. We visited early on a weeknight but almost didn’t get a table since we didn’t have a reservation, so plan ahead!“

“Food were delicious and customer service was a plus. My hubby is very picky when it comes to restaurants food but yesterday he ate all his food and said your place was great just the salmon was a little bit dry. I will suggest a little play of soft music 🎶“

“This place is fantastic! I had a solo lunch and enjoyed the chicken rice with ginger sauce and a side of broth. The whole dining experience was just 30 minutes. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. I’ll be back again, for sure.“

“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 ordered take out and the food was fresh and delicious! My first time trying sticky mango and I absolutely loved it!“

“Excellent food and service! Will try it again soon!“

“Delicious fresh food! Great service.“

“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!“

“Excellent! Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken“

“Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere. Yummy drinks“

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

“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.“

“Nice place, good food and good price but the wait staff should be more friendly.“

“we got here at their busiest time, all tables taken and just one server, we did have to wait about 40 min for the food, but definitely worth it! amazing khao soi (perfect spicy level & massive size) and golden triangle were also fantastic, lots of vegetarian options! would def return!“

“Awesome spot! Love the thai fusion take on bar food and the drinks are all well balanced. They also have a full bar with some interesting finds like the himbri gin we’ve seen in iceland. Highlights were the pork dumplings, tarro fries fried chicken sandwich and thai nachos.“

“Food is very flavorful! Truly a hole in the wall and found it by chance cause we didn't want to eat inside Natick Mall.
The tom yum was flavorful with a kick, it's on the sweet side which I like. The curry with the duck is very tasty. No fancy decoration or table setting. Nice staff and good tasting Thai food, no BS! 👍“

“Spice & Pepper has a really appealing atmosphere that draws you in and sets the right mood for a flavorful dining experience. The space is warm and well designed, living up to the energy the name suggests. The food and service, however, both land in average territory — the dishes are pleasant but could use more of the boldness and depth the name promises, and the service could be more attentive and consistent. With stronger execution in the kitchen and front-of-house, this place has real potential to be a standout.“

“The food is authentic and so flavorful. I come here on a weekly basis for lunch and absolutely love it so much. I typically get the Tom Yom Appetizer soup with chicken and rice noodles. Ive also had the green and yellow chicken curry options and every time I wipe the plate clean!

Its honestly so incredible. The staff is so pleasant as well and really work hard to create a fantastic product. Highly recommend 10/10“
