50 Best Thai Restaurants near Newton

“Absolutely amazing Thai food. It’s the best in the Boston area. We will definitely be back!“

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

“Secret find!! Food is amazing 😉!!!“

“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.“

“I highly recommend this place“

“A very good find for excellent Thai food. The flavours were spot on. Careful about the level of heat you can handle.
Make sure to order your appetizers first only. Order your mains only after, otherwise everything arrives at the same time and in no particular order.“

“The best chicken..:definitely“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“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 is amazing! I totally forgot the name of the dish but the pork with noodle dish with the fried rangoon was amazing def recommend 🍜. Crispy chicken basil is also good and I recommend it with the sticky rice 🍚. The Hor Mok (salmon, shrimp, etc. curry inside a coconut 🥥) is pretty good too! The mango sticky rice is a go-to dessert 🥭“

“This little cafe/restaurant is nestled in an alley next to a general store, it gives speakeasy vibes. The place is small, but clean and welcoming. I want to say it’s family owned, but I am not sure.

Their menu has breakfast/lunch/dinner options, plenty of options for vegetarians as well. We started with some scallion pancakes, they were crisp and delicious.

We ordered their drunken noodles with vegetables and basil fried rice 🍚 with egg and tofu. Their noodles 🍝 were saucy( I like when they are not dry, so I loved it) it also had the perfect level of spices, lots of veggies like broccoli 🥦 🫑 🍄‍🟫 🧅 🥕

The basil fried rice was okay, I have had better basil fried rice for sure. The taste was good, but I had higher expectations.

The Thai cold coffee🧋was the highlight of our meal. It was so perfect, that I would have had another glass. Strong coffee with low sugar, just how I like it.

Our experience was very good, and we look forward to visiting this place again.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Thonglor — Come for the Khao Soi, Stay Because You Can’t Stop Eating It

If I could write a love letter to a bowl of noodles, it would be to Thonglor’s khao soi. The broth? Rich, silky, and just the right amount of spicy — like it knows how to flirt without burning you. The chicken? Falls apart like my self-control when I see this dish on the menu. And that crispy fried noodle topping? The perfect crunchy mic drop.

Order it once and you’ll spend the rest of your week wondering how soon is too soon to come back without looking suspicious.“

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

“Perfection! I can't say enough about the magic-potion cocktails, flavorful dishes, cool vibe, fun staff and locals 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Was visiting MA on a work trip and stumbled upon the best Thai food ever. I genuinely love the atmosphere and food. The food is great and cooked fresh, with good portions. I had the gyoza and pad se ew. My partner had the beef w broccoli and white rice. We both enjoyed every bite! Definitely recommend and their sticky rice mango dessert looks amazing!

Vegetarian options: They have an entire section of their dishes that is redone just for vegetarians!“

“It was very good.. must try..“

“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.“

“Great food!“

“Somtum is my family's favorite place for takeout when we want to treat ourselves. My husband and I went to Thailand on our honeymoon, and every time we order from here, it takes us back. He's a regular with green curry or drunken noodles. I love the Tom Kha coconut soup and the Larb salad. My kids don't like spice but they love the crispy pad thai. Don't sleep on the Thai iced tea- it should come with a warning label, because it's addictive.“

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

“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 love Noodle Street! Went for the first time with friends and was charmed by the amazing food and homey atmosphere, but was even more impressed today when I came in alone. There is a woman who I think may be the owner? who is so kind and really made me feel taken care of on a rough day. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Boston now because of the warmth and love she radiated to all the guests.“

“Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere. Yummy drinks“

“This unassuming Thai restaurant serves authentic dishes. We tried the Lover’s Honeymoon and Gra Pow with Chicken. The former was good, but a bit too sweet for our taste. However, the Gra Pow was simply extraordinary. The chicken was incredibly flavorful and paired perfectly with the rice. I highly recommend taking out from this place.“

“Food: amazing! I've had the pad thai and yellow curry and both were delicious. I haven't had a bad experience here yet and the service is friendly and timely. I only gave 2 stars for atmosphere but that's only because it's takeout only. If you're looking for dine in, this isn't the place, but on a nice day you could bring your food to the town common. Would definitely come back for more!“

“This is a go to spot for me. I love the food. This time, I came for lunch and I veered from my usual pad woon sen and got some garlic shrimp bowl. They were shrimpy on the shrimp only giving 4, as pictured. Nevertheless, the food was absolutely delicious and the sauce was the perfect amount. I will get this again. I hope there's more shrimp with the dinner price.“

“The service and food were amazing.“

“Came for lunch, we were instantly sat and greeted with water. Our server was prompt and very kind. We got Crab Rangoons and Country Padtie and both came out hot and full of flavor. The prices were inexpensive for the quality of food and service we received. Definitely check it out for lunch!“

“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.“

“The food was great. The service was quick and efficient. Don’t forget to make a reservation by calling even though it does not state that it’s necessary on their website we arrived and we’re told that they were full, but we were able to sit at the bar, thankfully.“

“I have eaten here numerous times. It's actually my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. Flavors are always on point. Portions are perfect. Food is beautiful. I've had at least 6 different dishes and they have all been outstanding. With that said, if you want your food spicy, you'll need to emphasize that you want the food really spicy; they're not too heavy on the spice here. Which is probably good for me, because it makes me enjoy the flavors more. I like the atmosphere inside a lot. The space is fairly small.“

“Good portion. We ordered the appetizer combo so we can try everything out, the fried shrimp and chicken satay are good. The Pad Thai is just too sweet, it maybe good to balance the spice but still, the sweetness out stands the flavor.
Service is a little bit slow but nice.

Affordable and maybe try to order more spicier ones to bring out more flavors“

“Very delicious food here, we loved everything. Amazing service as well. I loved the crispy rolls. Thank you!“

“Great foods and Great services !!! Stop by and try it out !!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Simply the best and freshest Thai food you can find in Massachusetts! We have been eating from this restaurant for more then eight years and I have not found better Thai food anywhere else. Being on a low sodium diet it is hard to find a restaurant that will cook food not drenched in salt. Dishes are cooked to order and requests are always granted. This is a family owned business and they are just fantastic people. This is a take-out restaurant although they offer great luncheon specials at a very fair price if you happen by during lunchtime. Highly recommend!“

“We got 3 orders of take-out:
1 red curry, 1 green curry, and 1 Pad Thai.
We loved the spices! I had the shrimp curry and was surprised at how many shrimp there were.
And the prices were very reasonable
I'm not sure when, but Kapow Thai has changed management.

I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“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 🎶“

“During our vacation, we found ourselves staying close to this restaurant. On a rainy day, we opted to take a walk in search of lunch, and this place truly exceeded our expectations! The Pad-C-U and Thunder Chicken were absolutely delightful!“
