“Such a great dinner for a great night tonight. We had fried oysters and coco bund with peanut sauce on top for appetizers and a real ground Chicken Thai hot basil, Pat Thai with shrimp for main dishes. For dessert we had mango with sticky rice and coconut milk on top. Everything so delicious.“
“We ordered mango curry. It was awesome. We ordered Tom Kay Gai It was awesome. The cashew chicken thing I didn’t love, but I think it was just my personal preference.The energy is really good in this place. And there’s lots of parking behind it.“
“Stopping by for a quick mid day dine. First- Lychee Martini was wonderful. Second- steamed Thai chicken peanut dumplings. They were sure tasty, just a bit of a tough chew for some. The meat and toasted peanut was a little over cooked. I don't mind that so much. I like my meat really done. The ginger sauce is yummy. Third- takoyaki app. Perfect bites of tempura balls filled with octopus. The top of mayo and bonito flakes made me get a real smoke gun flavor. Loved it!“
“Food is amazing. Pad Thai and udon noodles are standouts, and my wife loves the dumplings. Not great for seating. A few small tables inside and out but not really meant for eating there. But takeout, you won't be disappointed. They're also PHENOMENAL at handling allergies, which I really appreciated.“
“My aunt is Thai and once I moved to Boston she implored I visit for authentic Thai food! This is the most reminiscent of authentic Thai food like I used to get when I visited!! Cannot recommend this enough!!! Basil fried rice and massaman curry are incredible!!!“
“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.“
“The food at this place is delicious, and they offer items which a lot of other nearby restaurants do not. I have gotten take out and eaten there, and I have enjoyed both experiences. If I had to choose one thing that I disliked about this restaurant, it would be that I wish more of their delivery options could be made without sugar/palm sugar.“
“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 “
“The spicy crispy chicken with what da chick sauce is my favorite. $15 for a chicken combo with rice, 2 sauces and soup is a great deal in Boston.I prefer dining in than takeout so the chicken stays crispy and also their staff is super friendly. I’d skip the tea/coffee next time tho.“
“Oh wow their food is spectacular! Ordering is only difficult when you gotta make choices. Better is to order all the specials, add in some favorites and then feed a crowd so everyone gets to taste all the goodies. Seriously one of the best restaurants in Arlington and Cambridge.“
“Jan 2024:Party of 10Sushi rolls were surprisingly delicious and fresh and presentation was nice! I enjoyed the crab ragoons they were. Perfectly crispy and warm. Had the pad thai with tofu it was delicious although the tofu was a bit much and I prefer it fully grilled and not mushy.“
“This place is amazing! I’ve been here over 20 times and the food is consistently fantastic. Wait staff is so nice and professional. It’s hard to work at a place that typically gets one huge rush a day but they are so great and the food always shines.“
“Loved it here! Such a cute unassuming place near downtown Dedham. So many menu options. We had the roti bread appetizer and shumai which were both delicious. The bread was crispy and chewy like a scallion pancake and came with a delicious chicken curry on the side. I ordered the beef ball noodle soup which kind of resembled pho. Delicious and huge portions for every dish. My friend wanted khao soi which she found under a different name on the menu. I believe it was called curry noodle soup. Service was prompt and not overbearing. Thai iced tea was delicious. I would certainly come back again.“
“I ordered the veggie steamed bun and vegetarian ramen, and both were delicious. It was refreshing to find a vegetarian ramen soup with a flavorful base other than miso. The steamed bun was particularly tasty. As a solo diner, I felt comfortable dining alone. The restaurant had a quaint atmosphere, and street parking was available.“
“I was craving Pad Thai and saw great reviews for this new Thai restaurant in Lexington and decided to order takeout. I'm so glad that I tried them because everything was delicious. The place is nice and bright and my order was ready on time. I will definitely order from them again!“
“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!“
“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!“
“Reasonable prices and good amount of food! I really enjoyed the crispy chicken khao soi! The khao soi was not very spicy, mild but the tables are provided with condiments where you can add spices to taste. Thai iced tea and thai iced lime tea both yummy. Friendly service and super quick to get your orders! The dishes came out super quick! Pretty small restaurant but cute interior, and there was no wait around 2pm on a Saturday.“
“Very nice sushi place. It is not very big, but had loads of small tables for two and four. I came at 7 o'clock on a Saturday and could only sit at the sushi bar itself (four seats) They had a nice set of sushi options, including an all salmon, sashimi and rolls.“
“Pretty good food! Parking is a little difficult because the restaurant doesn’t have its own lot. Plenty of seating and we were the only people dining in at dinner time on a Monday. Not the best thai food I’ve ever had but certainly wasn’t disappointed.“
“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.“
“The vibes are so good in here, super clean and the decor is rlly cool! I got the babe ribs and the meat was SO JUICY AND TENDER a bit spicy for me but just right… get with rice and you will def have leftovers. Thai tea was good too and the fresh spring rolls were super yummy. Everyone is very friendly and it was v “
“Last semester, I was commuting to college and often staying late on campus to avoid traffic. I came to this restaurant so often for dinner, that the owner herself now recognizes me by both name and appearance.She is the sweetest lady ever, she radiates hospitality, and her smile is like sunshine. Her and her partner make great food, always reliable and comforting, and easily my go to for a quick take out meal when I’m in the area.Now, my boyfriend and I come here almost weekly for dinner and she always welcomes us with a warm smile and delicious food. Thank you Ching!“
“Tip: Usually good amount of street parking a nice ice cream place nearby for dessert.This place is definitely a must try if you like pho. I usually go to “pho viet” but honestly this place might be just as good or even better. Unfortunately I cannot say the ramen was as great as it was okay. But I would definitely come back to try another pho or even the Thai noodle soups. Price-flavored value is p good.“
“Amazing place. My girlfriend and I are regulars, the price and quality are just unmatched.The food is kind of a southeast Asian fusion. Honestly it's very unique and I haven't been to many restaurants that serve and pull of these kinds of flavors. Strongly recommend.Try their brunch menu. So cheap, but so, so good.“
“This was our first time visiting The Bangkok and it will NOT be our last! We decided to be complete fat@$$es — I mean adventurous — and delved into the small plates. If you are a person of small appetite, 1-2 small plates is enough for you (we did not stop there!). For apps/small plates, we shared the veggie crispy rolls and curry roti (fried scallion pancake). The rolls were perfectly crisp without being oily with a healthy side of pickled carrots and radish over lettuce and sweet/sour dipping sauce. The roti was served hot and crispy with a soft lemongrass soup sauce. Amazing! My carnivorous spouse added a small plate of ribs, too; she describes the ribs as “good.” In more elaborate details the curry on top tasted of a savory scallion and red beans that fit nicely with the meat of the ribs that fell from the bones (may the poor cow’s soul rest in peace).Moving onto entrees, I have a habit of testing Thai restaurants with tofu red curry. This was a healthy portion — too much to handle in one sitting — was a New England American (white people) spicy 5:10 after asking for extra spicy, luckily there was chili oil on the tables for additional spice. Anyway, the curry was creamy, not watery and had a beautiful mix of beans, red peppers, bamboo, tofu, pea pods, and chunks of eggplant, plus a side of rice. I would definitely get it again!Partner in murdering Thai food today got khao soi noodle dish that had a light yellow curry spicy (caliente) sauce with noodles, scallion, greens, herbs, vegetables, and a whole freaking chicken leg grass in a lemon grass coconut sauce, which I’m told tasted amazing. Again, God rest that chicken soul. We finished off fat@$$fest with the mango sticky rice. Well, the taste was impeccable with the just perfectly ripen mangoes, I would suggest just slightly more coconut sauce, but keep in mind I am an Asian American, not an Asian Asian.The service was wonderful and each of the people serving us was on top of our table without being overbearing. And the best part was for all of that we spent around $66 without tip. I highly recommend if you are in the Melrose area and really looking for some authentic, delicious Thai food.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Wow, some of the best Thai food I’ve had and at very reasonable prices. Truly enjoyed the basil pad Thai as well as the Tom Yum soup. Service was quick and friendly and the food is really a standout. Hope to come back here soon.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available“
“(FYI - In all fairness, this is based on a single visit and two dishes)I was headed to a dumpling shop down the street when I just happened to park in front of this place. I was in the mood for hot noodley stuff from any part of Asia anyway, so this fit the bill with a much easier walk on a chilly day."Thai Street Food" suggested they probably had more going on than Pad Thai and Golden Bags. Knowing "Zaab" means something along the lines of "Wicked Tasty" I figured it was a safe bet.I quickly spotted the Yum Nam Tok: a semi-salad thing of grilled sliced pork tossed with onions, chiles and a lime-soy dressing. Sprinkled with toasted rice powder for crunch and aroma, it's a personal favorite. 9Zaab does a really great job with this dish. Generously sized as well, allowing me to push it aside for later, then keep picking at it until the next course without finishing it off.The big bowl of Ba Lee Moo Dang (and Fish Ball!) was next. Perfect choice on a half-sunny/half-cold day. The menu billed it as "The most famous Thai egg noodles"* and it had a couple of chile pepper symbols next to it. Most Famous at a place called Zaab! I was waiting to have my socks blown off.Didn't quite happen. The famous egg noodles were a big helping of instant ramen in a big bowl of mildly- oh so very mildly - seasoned broth. The BBQ pork slices were pretty much pink ringed slices of the Chinese Char-Siu take out variety. There were some decent dumplings as well as some very delicious fish balls. They did, however, leave off the cilantro & fried garlic as listed.Over all it was kinda non-zaab... It wasn't bad. There just wasn't much to talk about flavor-wise. I poured some of the Yum Nam Tok dressing into it and added some chiles. It all worked out.Staff is nice, the joint is immaculately clean and I'd definitely give it another visit.*Turns out, all the noodle soups on the menu begin with "the most famous Thai..."Vegetarian options: I don't think I've ever been to a Thai restaurant which wasn't half-vegetarian by default.Dietary restrictions: People allergic to Thai food may feel itchy.Parking: Cambridge Street in Cambridge. Easy(ish) street parking on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely more challenging during the week.“
“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.“
“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.“
“This place is great. I work at BU and once a month or so I make it here for lunch. It's consistently good and the employees are always friendly. It's casual and perfect for a midday meal. And look up their story online- it's so sweet. Nud Pob means "meeting place" in Thai.“
“First of all, I am a huge fan of Laughing Monk Cafe! I have been to the other two locations many times. I really enjoyed this location— everything was so fresh and absolutely delicious! Their sushi is always high quality absolutely worth the price!“
“Norwood's Best kept secret. You will not find better thai food ANYWHERE in New England. Monica and her staff make the most delicious and authentic thai food around. It is ALWAYS SUPER FRESH. So tasty. Reasonably priced. My personal fav is the Chicken Basil - and they will make it as spicy or not spicy at all. Just ask. My husband is a HUGE fan of the pad thai. It really does not matter what you order. It is all fantastic. You will be SO HAPPY if you give this a try. Best food ever. Been going here since it opened.“
“The food was excellent so I'd give 5 stars just for that but they went above and beyond to cater to our kids food allergies, which is always difficult when you are traveling and have to eat out.The lady then took time to speak with our boys, ask them they're name and wrote it out in Thai on a piece of paper for them to take home as well as teach them how to pronounce it. Our boys were super happy.I would 100% return.Dietary restrictions: Allergies“
“What a great little place! Probably one of the best Thai food in town! We ordered drunken noodles and Siam fried rice. The food was so delicious. The staff was amazing and very friendly. Our first time here and we were impressed by the place. Great service, excellent food. Highly recommend.“
“After Plaster Funtime with the kids, I was searching for somewhere easy to eat with my kiddos but wanted to expose them to something they hadn't had before and that I loved. Pho!!! ?28 Bistro has a low key vibe, great music in the background, and the owner who works the register and tables(at least that Sunday) was delightful.The food was absolutely delicious! I had to order an 18yo, a 14yo, and a 7 yo. 29 Bistro didn't disappoint.Apps: Seaweed Salad, Short Ribs, and CalamariEntree options: Beef Pho, 2 x Seafood Pho, and Duck Pho (these aren't the names of the dishes, but the main ingredients within).My kids were loving the flavor, enjoying every moment of the experience, and had a bunch left over for lunch the next day despite being super full.I enjoyed it all. The Dutch Pho was absolutely amazing and while I over did it a bit in the apps, flavorwise, it was all amazing.Oh, we capped it off with various flavors of boaba tea!You've gotta check out 29 Bistro. I'll sure be back!!“
“Finally tried dining in at Phu-Ket after only having it via takeout after all these years. It's small from the outside, but cute and intimate on inside: quiet, more tables than I expected and clean, so I was blown away. I came here for dinner with my dad, and we got the Pork Tenderloin with Sticky Rice appetizer, Spicy Duck Fried Rice, and Seafood Pad Thai. All delicious and a great portion for the price. The price for all the items was about $40-$50, which is very reasonable. And with the takeout rice I got, that was still under $70. The service was a bit slow to start, but there were a lot of tables and takeout orders the whole night. So it's definitely popular, and I can see why. Even had a lovely chat with hostess and chefs after. I'll definitely be back! Bring your appetite and be willing to try new things!“
“Flavorful Pho Experience at Noodle MarketI recently dined at Noodle Market and opted for their Pho Dac Biet, and I must say, it was an absolute delight. The dish arrived piping hot, boasting a fragrant broth infused with spices and herbs that danced on my palate with each spoonful. The tender slices of beef, accompanied by chewy rice noodles and an array of fresh garnishes, elevated the experience to new heights.What truly stood out, however, was the impeccable service provided by the staff. From the moment I entered, I was greeted warmly, and throughout my meal, the attentive servers ensured that I had everything I needed. Their friendliness and professionalism enhanced my dining experience, making me feel welcomed and valued as a customer.Overall, Noodle Market offers not only delectable dishes but also a welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service. Whether you’re a pho enthusiast or simply seeking a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend giving Noodle Market a try.“
“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 ^^“
“Solid Thai Spot in Fenway.Came here a few weeks ago while I was looking for a quick Thai meal in the area. There aren’t a lot of good Asian restaurants in Fenway, but Thaitation seemed like a good option.Along with Thai Iced tea, we got the Shrimp Tempura and the Duck Chili. The Shrimp Tempura, which also included an assortment of vegetable tempura, was coated in a thin, crisp batter. It was exactly what I expected to get from a typical neighborhood Thai spot, and I especially enjoyed the broccoli tempura. The Duck Chili was also enjoyable. Though the duck itself could have been more tender, the dish was elevated by its spicy sweet and sour sauce and a delectable concoction of onions, pineapples, tomatoes, dried chili, and mushrooms.Overall, a good spot for a quick Thai fix in Fenway. Not sure if I would come back, but if you’re looking for a solid and affordable Thai food, I recommend giving them a try.Parking: Paid street parking along Peterborough st or near Isabella Gardner.“
“I really fell in love with the sushi bomb roll. I ordered it from DoorDash with some vegetables rolls & both were great. It was my first time trying sushi as well from an actual restaurant so it was very Good to me. The sushi was 15 dollars & the rolls were 5 dollars in my opinion it was totally worth it. I’m going to bring my family there one of these days to try out other stuff they have.“
“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.“
“Great curry here. The delivery fried tofu is no match for the one at the restaurant though. The last time I went in person it was so crisp and delicious and the one I had delivered felt like it was reheated from a fried tofu packet. Please bring back the crispy one it was so good!“
“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!“
“Pi was awesome and super friendly.I have been here before but today I felt like the staff went above and beyond. I will certainly come back. I ordered the lunch special they have from 11am to 3pm. Basil fried rice and crab Rangoon was absolutely amazing. I was thinking about taking some home and ended up eating all lol.“
“I love to eat Malaysian food at this restaurant! It's tasty!Roti Canai, water cress with preserved bean curd paste sauce and Hainanese chicken are my favorites at this restaurantThe atmosphere is like having food with family. The service is fine, but I expect the food more than service hereWill come back with my family when we visit Boston“
“We tried the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. Both were delicious! Great taste, and fresh. They are quick to your order and attentive. We plan to go back for more. Try the basil garlic eggplant. Its got a brown soy sauce that hits the spot with a big pile of rice!“
