Local Critic Reviews Boston Restaurant Kala Thai Cookery | Eater Boston

"Opened as a newer outpost from Cha Yen’s chef-owner Manita Bunnagitkarn and bearing some similarities to her original Watertown spot, this restaurant serves vibrant, well-executed Thai dishes. Starters include wonderful corn cakes, superb tod mun, and fried kapow dumplings; other highlights range from a fresh mango salad to an above-average pad Thai and a char kway teow of wide, stir-fried rice noodles with shrimp and pork sausage. A stir-fried garlic dish "delivers a boatload of garlic beautifully balanced with some sweetness," and central Thai coconut-milk curries are well represented by both the massaman and the red curry. The reviewer sums it up as an "oasis of electric flavors, a major-league outpost of a budding empire we hope keeps expanding." - Dana Hatic
