Ordered the panang curry with fried tofu, requested the spicy option. Food was delicious but mild. Asked for chilli sauce, this was mild too. Clearly not a place that serves spicy food as indicated on the menu. However the ambience is amazing, it really is a beautiful restaurant and they had live music when we went on early Saturday evening. I also had the coconut ice-cream which was a generous portion of 3 scoops. Very tasty, well made and highly recommend. Great place to check out, but not for those who love spicy food.

Have eaten here a couple times now. Food is very good. Ingredients seem fresh and everything was tasty.

However, I am only giving three stars because on my most recent visit, we seemed to be charged higher prices than advertised. When the check came, every item seemed to be 2-3 dollars more than was listed on the menu. We didn’t feel like arguing and didn’t confront the staff, but we did make up the difference out of our server’s gratuity. I don’t necessarily think it was her fault, but this is a gross oversight on the part of all the staff. Prices on the menu should reflect what you are actually going to be charged.

Service was otherwise fine and atmosphere is nice.

I’ve eaten at this establishment 5x now. Every time the food was fresh and tasty. No complaints here.

Has both a dedicated vegetarian/vegan section of the menu, and many menu items are marked "vegan on request". We got the mango curry and it was delicious 😋

I had an amazing time at this restaurant! The Thai food (Shrimp Fresh Rolls and Brown Sugar Mango Fried Rice) was absolutely delicious – full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was quick and efficient, which was a bonus. The staff were incredibly kind and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Massachusetts. Consistently well prepared food, sensational taste, quality vegetables and ingredients. Service is very good, and it's a quiet restaurant, great for conversation.

Nice place, but I ordered my food mild in spice. It came very hot and spicy. I sent it back and quickly got it returned and I could tell the cook just rinsed it off, put it on a smaller plate with no sauce and sent it back. There was no sauce now for me to mix in the rice. When I tried to explain this to the waitress she couldn't understand what I was saying. I ate some of it ( still spicy) and left disappointed. Will not be returning to this restaurant.

Worst drinks. Worst service. Worst service recovery. I’m not a difficult customer , they had no bartender. Inexperienced server was too stressed to care.

Poor quality food. Overly expensive. Unkind management. Fun atmosphere, near the waterfront, but will not return.
