“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.“

“Expect delicious food, chill vibes, and super friendly (fast) service! I will be back! I ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken, and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both were absolutely delicious, the iced coffee was very good, strong coffee with the sweetness of the condensed milk. I recommend if you’re looking for a delicious, and quick meal!“

“Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere. Yummy drinks“

“Excellent! Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken“

“Solid Thai takeout in Cambridge. Im sure there are other where the taste is more flavorful, however we were more than happy with the quality and quantity of food. Great spot and if you have a Prime account you can link to GH for free delivery.“

“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.“

“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“

“Very fresh and flavorful food. Friendly staff. Will return to eat in or order take out.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“10/10 would recommend. We ordered the Penang curry, chicken teriyaki rice bowl, beef satay, steamed gyoza and samosa. The peanut sauce with the beef was 🔥🔥. All incredible.“

“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!“

“I would recommend it because the food is good but when I ordered they said a half hour I had to sit outside and wait though. when I got there I had to wait outside almost a half hour because they only let one person in the building at a time. I got there about 45 minutes after ordering they told me five or 10 more minutes it took an additional almost 20 minutes. I sat outside in the freezing cold. I did not receive an apology or anything. This is the first time I have not tipped since Covid began.“

“I have no idea what magic they do with their fried chicken, but I've never had anything like it. We were driving back and forth to Boston for hospital visits for months, and we stopped here for takeout on our way home since it was at the halfway mark just on a whim. Now we make it a point to swing by even when it's out of the way because the food is so good. Servings are just the right size, food is fresh. Also nice to see some less common offerings like nom yen and tom yum pad Thai! Only street parking is available, but there's a small free lot nearby so it's not too bad.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This place is the REAL Deal. Good portions, AUTHENTIC, Clean place, GREAT menu. Keep up the good work!!!!“

“Came in on time but my friends and the bday girl were extremely late. They received me kindly despite being super busy. Made sure I was ok, repeatedly asked me if I wanted something to drink. They had every reason de be annoyed but were able to serve us a refreshing and delicious lemonade, delicious appetizers and food and even sung happy birthday with a candle lit mango sticky rice at the end for our guest of honor. The atmosphere is warm, cozy and quiet , the food is delicious and the staff is super nice. I will definitely go again ! 🫶“

“I grew up in Thailand and have spent most of my life living between Australia and the U.S., so finding authentic Thai food can be tough but Sugar and Spice takes me right back to my childhood. I adore every dish I’ve tried but the Hor Mok has a special place in my heart. A true gem! Delicious, meaningful and unforgettable.“

“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!“

“It was very good.. must try..“

“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.“

“Tried it for the first time - delicious Paid Thai and cold Thai Jasmine Green Tea drink 🥤 is yummy!“

“Great food!“

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

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

“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.“

“Great first time !! Will return again !“

“Best thai food around. Family run and friendly staff! The dine-in crowd is obviously not their biggest market, so they don't cater to "atmosphere" but the food is great. We drive past other restaurants to pick up take-out here and I'm always happy with the result. 5 stars!“

“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.“

“Secret find!! Food is amazing 😉!!!“

“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.“

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

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

“On a family trip in Mass. and stayed @ Hampton inn. This was very convenient and close by and even 20 minutes before closing they attended me with a smile along with great hospitality. We ordered from the main entrees which by portion size was very filling and I of course had sushi while waiting for them to complete my order.
It was mouth watering and extremely delicious!!! Hands down the best I ever had. Thank you for the great food and great experience at your restaurant!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The service and food were amazing.“

“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.“

“I’ve lived in Thailand for 3 years (Huai-Kwang) and I can confidentially say this restaurant resembles the closest tastes to the food I’ve eaten during my time there.

I have tried at least 15 different Thai places in Boston and I will say - this is the best.

The flavors are as close to Thailand as you can get, which I never thought could be replicated here. It took me back for a minute lol.

I will still have to try some dishes, like som tam, to see if it has that taste I’m used to… or if it’s lacking dried shrimp.

This location is also significantly better and more authentic than the other Laughing Monk locations.“

“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“
