12 Best Thai Restaurants near Essex

1 Maliwan Thai Restaurant

4.7 Superb 135 Reviews

5 Carmichael Street, Essex

• Take-Out

“My favorite is pad phet fish, but even if you ask for mild spice, sometimes it comes out too spicy for an average American to eat. Fresh ingredients, nice folks, quick service. Please, though, stop mopping the floor with rancid water. The whole entry, and hallway to the restrooms stinks of bad mop water. The past two times I've come in”

3 Tiny Thai Restaurant

293 Main Street, Winooski · 3.63 miles

“Five stars. Our family's happy place. We've been coming here long enough that the staff greet us like neighbors - and that warmth is half the reason we keep coming back. The other half is the food, which is consistently some of the most flavorful cooking in the area. My personal standout is the Vegan Panang Curry, currently on the menu and absolutely not to be missed. It's rich, deeply spiced, and genuinely one of the best dishes I've had anywhere - not just at a Thai restaurant, but anywhere full stop. The vegetables are vibrant and perfectly cooked, and the sauce has that layered complexity you just don't find everywhere. One honest heads-up: seating is limited and it's first-come, first-served, so there can be a wait. We've never once regretted staying. Once the food arrives, the wait becomes a distant memory. If you haven't been, go. If you have, you already know.”

4 THAI KITCHEN

4.7 Superb 167 Reviews

165 US-7, Milton · 9.48 miles

“My family stumbled on this place after a sporting event at the high school a year ago and we have been dreaming about it every since. On our initial visit we primarily went because they had gluten free options for myself and my daughter but happily my husband found a few things on the menu that have become his new favorites. This place does not disappoint. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, the staff is warm and welcoming. This is an hour and a half drive from our home but a never pass up if we are in the area! If you haven't been put it on you list!”

“Wow! We've been loyal Tiny Thai customers for years, but decided to try Suvi's because it's so much closer. The rice is fluffy, the vegetables are cooked perfectly. Very fresh tasting. Love the yellow curry dish, the stir fried chicken with cashews and pad thai are sooo good. And the spring rolls and crab ragoon are just lightly fried. Deelish. Husband wife team are super nice. New favorite place for take out.”

“This place REALLY threw me for a loop… walking there I was expecting a quickie bite.. not an amazing dinner meal that even my picky husband enjoyed! The vibe definitely did not match the level of culinary skills in the food. We got chive pancakes, they were chewy crispy and savory - perfect appetizer! Two Asahi’s to complement our entrees: crying tiger fried rice, the sirloin was marinated to PERFECTION! Best I’ve EVER had. Duck Penang was an entire duck leg in a creamy delicious curry sauce with pineapples and tomatoes. So mouthwatering thinking about it now.. Staff was soooo young but SUPER hospitable and lovely! Luckily we’re not locals otherwise it’d be a weekly meal here for us!”

“It's primarily take out, but there are a few small tables inside to eat. I found the quality to be good. We had a variety of rice and noodle dishes. Flavorful, large portions, well spiced. Priced well too- most entrees are in the $13-17 range, making it a bargain. Funky origami paper artwork around the space adds an artistic flair so you can temporarily feel like a hipster when picking up your food.”

“The food is satisfying and the portion sizes are generous. I usually end up taking hone leftovers. There is a decent sushi bar. Many drink options are available; you can skip the tea. Staff is always friendly and happy to see us. Lighting is easy on the eyes, and the music is usually gentle and pleasant.”
