"For over 20 years, Brown Sugar Cafe has been well-known by nearby BU students. Nice enough for a date or birthday, casual enough for a low-key night out, Brown Sugar features a huge menu that intentionally touches on multiple regions of Thailand. Notable dishes include goong chae nam pla (raw shrimp with garlic and chile in a spicy lime dressing), yum poonim tod (fried soft shell crab salad with shredded mango and, again, a spicy lime dressing), and khao ka moo (a popular Thai street food rice plate with braised pork, mustard greens, and egg). Brown Sugar’s East Cambridge sibling, the Similan, is also worth a visit." - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
