50 Best Thai Restaurants near West Newton

“Always excellent. Friendly. Brilliant blend of spices and flavors.“

“The best chicken..:definitely“

“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.“

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

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

“I HAD to write a review.. it's SO GOOD!!! I ordered off of Doordash because I haven't seen it before and saw the good reviews and noticed some very authentic recipes on the menu and decided to give it a try.

No regrets, the Bai Toey drink brings me back to my childhood with the wonderful pandan flavor and tastes so refreshing as a tea. The Tom Yum Sukhothai was phenomenal, the broth was as balanced as my Yah's broth which really takes me back, too.

I definitely want to try the chicken claw soup next time, since they definitely didn't disappoint with the classic tom yum!“

“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!!“

“Best grilled chicken and rice combo, very generous portions of rice and chicken with good soup. I can highly recommend this. Do not get any wings from them. And make sure you confirm your order with the staff, they sometimes make mistakes. I tried the sticky wings and it wasn't fully coated with sauce, there was some blood veins in the chicken and I'm sad to say I found a short hair in one of my pieces. As the staff had to redo my wings order bc she mistook my order to her recommendation of chicken skins, I didn't want to complain. Needless to say, I won't be returning bc of hygiene and service. I love Thai food and really wanted to support them.“

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

“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.“

“What a soup indeed! The broth in the boat noodles is so flavorful and hearty. The spice level of hot is perfect for me who likes a good amount of heat. Prices are very reasonable for the big portion you get with lots of meat and noodles. Haven't eaten in, so I can't rate service and atmosphere, but I will dine in sometime soon.

Only issue is I haven't received tendon in my beef and tendon noodles twice. May be an issue with the ordering method because both times were through Doordash. Is tendon not included for delivery or perhaps a listing mixup? Disappointed because I was looking forward to the beef tendon, but still very tasty.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Secret find!! Food is amazing 😉!!!“

“Good food. Really liked the Kra Pow Basil stir fry with pork--that was unique from anything I'd had before. Curries and appetizers were also top notch. Great value on the food. Decor was standard restaurant vibe, nothing special, but clean and neat--expected at this price point. Service was attentive and they were able to tailor spiciness.

Would like to see the blue rice make a comeback, as that was a nice treat.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“I really enjoyed my visit here! The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the sticky rice gave it a nice unique touch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was great from start to finish. Definitely a place I’d come back to again! 🍣💛“

“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.“

“Consistent menu with amazing food that hits every craving. You can really feel that it is a family run business and that they care about their employees and guests. Best Thai food I’ve had so far in MA! Nicely priced too and great for value.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Tiny place, huge flavor! Krua Thai nails it with amazing food, warm service, and prices that make your wallet smile. I had the mango curry with duck and it was pure magic; sweet, savory, and perfectly spiced. If you love curry or thai food, this is the spot. Don’t sleep on the lunch deals either (~$12)

Easiest five star review ⭐️“

“It was very good! I ordered a level three spicy though, and almost couldn't eat it, beware!“

“Great food and great service“

“Give this place a try! A small business that offers fresh and authentic Thai food at an affordable price. We came there for lunch and there had been a photo session going on (for their meals). We waited outside for 5 mins while the photographers were wrapping up. We ordered the papaya salad, basil fried rice, and boat noodle. All of them were delicious and taking us back to Thailand. The papaya salad was great. We asked for a medium spicy and we got medium. They used both red and green chili’s and it just tasted so refreshing. The basil fried rice was the best. It’s so fragrant that I couldn’t remember when I had such fried rice for the last time. Perhaps in Thailand. It’s so mouth watering and not too salty. The boat noodle was also yummy. The beef was very generous and they used lots of herbs and you can really taste the richness (yet not heavy) of the broth. This is a small business so you might see some unorganised stuff in the corner. But it’s not unappealing or anything like that. We were just wondering that they could’ve had more space for more customers had they cleaned it up. But I would definitely come back.“
