Black Ruby: Thai Craft Burger Kitchen

Here’s a polished version of your review: ⸻ Back Ruby truly delivers on its promise of fusion cuisine, every bite was packed with flavor! We tried the burger, chicken sandwich, and shrimp roll, and each dish was delicious and unique in its own way. The flavors were bold, creative, and incredibly satisfying. You can tell a lot of thought goes into combining different culinary influences here. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu! Highly recommend.

We heard good things about Black Ruby so we were excited to try it! It was pretty packed on a Friday evening, so I would recommend making a reservation. We sat at the bar, which was nice. I thought the calamari was really good! Great flavor and crunch. I would get this again. My husband really liked the tom yum shrimp pasta. I thought it was good but not amazing. We appreciated the sauciness and shrimp flavor. The shrimp lemongrass salad was refreshing. The chicken katsu burger with green curry was good but I didn't think the chicken was that tender. Overall I loved the calamari and my husband loved the pasta. I'd be down to come again to try more of the menu!

Restaurant is aesthetically designed. Food presentation is very well done and pricing is definitely better than most. Bit packed and busy with only about 2-3 people working in the front. Fusion of Thai with American(burgers and pasta). I had my doubts being able to translate a soup(tom yum) to a pasta dish but it tastes like it in a pasta form. Pleasantly surprised that it had an actual kick in regards to spice and didn't hold back to more weaker palettes. Burger had a bit too much dill, but definitely hit the larb texture correctly

5 stars for everything! Will definitely come back. Creative and delicious food. I liked everything I ordered so much!! I particularly enjoyed the pastas and I also noticed almost all customers ordered burgers. Unfortunately a couple beverages (e.g. thai coconut coffee and coconut mango) are not longer provided Pricing and portion size is pretty reasonable among similar Boston restaurants. It was $25/head before tips for 4 of us, including small plates, main and some beverages. The restaurant is newly opened so everything is new and clean. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of natural light, creating the perfect weekend brunch vibes. We didn’t have a reservation but got a table at noon on a Sunday. The seats filled up quickly though. Close to MBTA red line Porter station. Street parking also available.

5 out of 5 stars. Overall I really enjoyed the food here and thought the flavor combinations were good and the food was cooked well. The food came out in a timely manner, and most of the dishes came out super hot. The green curry and ribeye pasta was especially good. I will be back and look forward to trying the rest of their menu.

Juicy burger with unique choice of herbs. The spicy pork burger and the fried calamari were pretty good. Can get a bit greasy so would recommend with beer or soda. The interior is well designed - modern and clean. Would recommend for a nice date spot. About $30-35 pp.

Very cozy spot. I think it’s a good place for Thai-fusion food. I like the dumplings and the spicy basil pasta tho it could be made spicer and less in sweetness. Thai tea float is really a must, it tastes just right for me who’s not a fan of sweet things

Great atmosphere on the dimmer side, but really sets a vibe. The food was amazing. The burgers were nicely made to be medium with a great balance of being cooked while maintaining a good amount of juiciness. We really liked the green curry pasta that was a perfect balance of spicy and flavor, though the meat was nicely made it could have used a bit more flavor as a standalone, but was great when mixed with the curry. The Tom koh and cod pasta had a good amount of flavor, but we preferred the green curry, I would definitely recommend trying it. The Thai tea deserts were delicious and the honey mango sherbet was also pretty good, but felt overall undermelming when compared. The coconut coffee was surprisingly very delicious and sweet. The service was amazing despite being super busy with a nearly packed restaurant and only 2 servers on shift. We never felt like we had to wait for any service like water refills, check ins, or getting our bill. They were very friendly and even took time to communicate with customers for recommendations and just some light chatting. Overall, enjoyed our visit and definitely coming back again.

I was a fan of the previous place, Chalawan, and was a little skeptical on how Thai-inspired burgers would be. Needless to say, I'm happy that Black Ruby exceeded all my expectations and I enjoyed our lunch there. The Khao Soi Beef Burger was excellent and looked as good as the photo in the signage out front. It hit my burger craving and the sauce made it unique/even better. The other two dishes, that I tried, the Thai Herbs Calamari and the Spicy Lemongrass Shrimp salad, were great as well. I liked that the calamari wasn't the usual small, stringy type. The salad wasn't too big, but I appreciated the quantity of shrimp. Overall, I'm really glad that Black Ruby is in the neighborhood and can't wait to try their other dishes. No issues with the service and interior was a nice place to be (our small table lamps might need to be charged, but I was trying to turn it on for fun during the day).

Pretty tasty Thai fusion spot in Porter. The spicy lemongrass shrimp salad was not spicy, but had nice sweet citrus flavors from the tangerines. The shrimp was cooked well, but it was served warm which sort of threw me off a bit, as I expected it to be cold in a salad. The green curry fried chicken sandwich was decent - the chicken was crispy, the curry sauce was good and the fresh brioche bun was solid. I also had a spicy pineapple margarita, which I'd skip, as it didn't really taste like pineapple. Overall the food was good but I found it to be pricey given the casual food fare and portion sizes. Service was a bit aloof and not very engaging, but fine generally. The space has a slightly elevated modern feel and definitely has been transformed since its Chalawan days. Might return to try more food but would skip the drinks.

Green Curry Sandwich (9/10): This was our favorite dish of the night. The chicken was fried very well, and the sauce was mouthwatering. It has a spice level of 2 on the menu, but it really wasn't that spicy. I liked the brioche for the bun, but it also wasn't the best brioche I've had Khao Soi Beef Burger (8/10): Very delicious khao soi sauce. It just works so well. I loved the egg noodles. I think the disappointing part of this dish was the burger itself, actually. The meat was a bit underwhelming. The bun was the same as the green curry sandwich - I think the texture of the bread left something to be desired Tom Yum Shrimp (7.5/10): The portion sizes are way too small. $24 for what looks like an appetizer. Nonetheless, this dish had a delicious sauce and all of the ingredients were tender Tom Kha White Sauce (6/10): They unfortunately didn't have cod, so they subbed in shrimp. The dish sounded really good in theory, but was also a tiny portion size and not as good as the tom yum shrimp. Seasoned Fries (8/10): double-fried and deliciously crisp. I wish they came with a sauce other than ketchup, but oh well. Great side! Mango Sticky Rice (8/10): Mango sorbet was delicious. The mango itself was okay. Sticky rice was great. Sweetness level was perfect. The service was very odd. We were ignored by servers at every step of the process, from walking in and getting a table, to waiting for someone to even acknowledge us after being seated, to ordering, to getting water, to getting the check, to flagging someone down to pay our bill. At first, I chalked it up to the restaurant being packed. As the night wore on, the restaurant started emptying, but for some reason the staff were just as unresponsive. TL;DR Food is very creative and has potential. Service was poor. Portion sizes are small and many menu items are very overpriced. We left feeling hungry

A great date spot! The food was tasty and the interior is very elegant. Service was also attentive and pretty quick. To go more in depth with the dishes: - Tom yum linguine: Shrimp was cooked wonderfully, pasta was also cooked well, our only issue was that the sauce didn't really have the tom yum kick. Don't get me wrong, it was very tasty. I just wouldn't guess that it was a tom yum based sauce. - Green curry fried chicken sandwich: Tastes exactly how you would expect it to! The chicken was tender, the sauce was flavorful, and the bun was SO GOOD (buttery, soft, and a good contrast from the fried crunch). - Shrimp salad: I would pass on this one. We expected it to be a cold salad but it was warmed and we were a bit confused by the flavors. Not bad, but also not our favorite. It would've been a lot better cold.

One of my best favourite meals of 2025 so far! The burgers were delicious, so much flavour with and cooked perfectly. We tried the crispy basil and the Khao soi burgers. The Khao Soi was my favourite because the sauce was so tasty!! The seasoned fries were so hit when they arrived and were crispy but soft in the inside. The onion were also nice, not always on a menu but I really like them. Only complaint I have was the sides just came with ketchup but would have preferred a different sauce with them. The mango sticky rice was very nice! There was vanilla ice cream with it on top too! The service was quick and the restaurant was booked out. Definitely need to book in advance! Overall, I will definitely be back to try more burgers!

First review of the year. Let's go! After being MIA for a bit, my boyfriend and I were super excited to check out Black Ruby, the newest Thai fusion spot in Cambridge. The concept of blending Thai flavors with burgers and pasta caught our attention right away. The restaurant itself is super chic, and overall, we'd give our experience a 4/5. We ordered a Thai tea float, a Thai beer, and calamari for appetizers, followed by the Tom Yum pasta and Khao Soi burger for our entrees. We finished the meal with a mango sticky rice sundae. Everything was flavorful and creative, but a few things kept it from being a full five-star experience. The Tom Yum pasta was the highlight, with a perfect balance of spicy, tangy, and cheesy flavors, but the shrimp was a letdown. I ordered extra shrimp, only to find that they were butterflied with the shells still on, making them overcooked and difficult to eat. The Khao Soi burger was another standout, and my boyfriend thought it would have been perfect with more of the khao soi sauce. The mango sticky rice sundae was the best part of the meal. The vanilla ice cream took it to the next level, making it even more addicting. On the downside, the Thai tea float was mostly ice, and the ice cream on top was a bit too icy. The calamari was delicious but came in such a small portion that we finished it in minutes. Service was efficient but not particularly engaging, which wasn't a huge issue but didn't add to the experience either. For the price, we expected just a bit more, but Black Ruby is a great addition to the area with a creative menu. We might be back to try other dishes, but we're not in a hurry. If you go, definitely try the mango sticky rice sundae.

Definitely a cool fusion type of place that combines Thai with a variety of other cuisines. The obvious draw is the fusion between burgers and Thai flavors. Most patrons seemed to be ordering one of the burgers off the menu as opposed to the other dishes. The menu is pretty big. There seems to be a number of salads and apps to pick from. The pad thai spring rolls were pretty good. Worth a try. Definitely one of the cooler fusion ideas. Calamari was ok. The garlic beef burger was my favorite. I also tried the pork larb burger and the crispy basil burger. The latter comes with a fried egg on top. All of the burgers had a unique flavor. Tom Yum pasta was pretty spicy which was another highlight. Service was great. The atmosphere is pretty good too. Clean restrooms as well. Overall it's worth a try just to sample all the fusion options. There's a novelty to this place.

This is a place of Thai Flavors that you won't experience anywhere else in the city! There's no amount of words that would be able to convey the amazing flavor profiles, but I can only say that it's a must try place! My friend and I ordered three plates to share: the Khao Soi Beef Burger, Tom Yum Shrimp, and Red Curry Bolognese. The sourdough brioche buns are fresh and actually made by the bakery next door. The burger is definitely the star of the meal. Who knew that Khao Soi flavors could perfectly fuse into a burger! No sauce was left behind and it'll make you want to try the other craft burgers. The pasta dishes were also flavor bombs. It's the Thai Italian fusion you didn't know you needed. I loved the heat that came from the Tom Yum Shrimp, it wasn't too powerful but just right. The grape tomatoes and mushrooms absorbed so much sauce. And the red curry bolognese had the perfect amount of meat sauce that coated each pappardelle noodle. The servers were so sweet and attentive. The ambiance was sexy, moody, and modern with the low lighting, gold accents, and dark colored decor. I arrived at the restaurant around 5PM on a Thursday with no issues for street parking. There were plenty of street parking available outside of the restaurant. I would definitely come back again!

Black Ruby is one of my favorite new openings in Boston recently! I was really impressed by their concept. They do Thai-style burgers and pasta! Usually I am wary of fusion places but they do it so well. The Thai flavors are clear in every dish but doesn't overwhelm your palate and it's balance well. Each dish is also very unique! For food, we started with the calamari and got the tom yum shrimp pasta, cod tom kha white pasta, khao soi burger, and spicy larb pork burger. The calamari was good and I liked the crispy basil but it was nothing insane. Calamari is hard to make exceptional in my opinion. My favorite of the night was the tom yum shrimp pasta. It was spicy, earthy, fiery, and had so much flavor. The tom yum flavor wasn't off-putting either. I was worried it would have too much of a tomato essence but that wasn't the case. Also the shrimp was insane. You could literally taste the fire on the shrimp. The cod white pasta was also fantastic! It is very rich but not too heavy. The cod was cooked beautifully. The khao soi burger was good too but I actually wish there was more khao soi flavor. It had great textures though and the actual beef was cooked well. Lastly, the spicy larb burger was so unique. First off, it's a pork patty! I loved the spices and the juiciness of the pork burger. I am 100% coming here again and I'm so excited for more menu offerings too!

If you r looking for the restaurant that has NYC upper east side vibe, come here! I was so amused by the quality of food, the atmosphere and service at Black Ruby. They also have plenty street parking I got the green curry and the signature burger, so delicious! Highly recommend, I will be back for the drink option

Not bad, but didn't live up to the hype. Didn't have to wait at all for a table on a Saturday evening when we walked in which was great. Tried the Thai tea spritz which didn't visually remind us of Thai tea by looking at it but definitely surprised us with the flavor. We tried the calamari - can't complain but not especially standout - as well as one of the burgers and the cod pasta. Cod was definitely overcooked and dry. Good to try once, not worth a return.

This is the perfect place for brunch. It's fancy but not too fancy. The atmosphere is casual chic with soft music. I had the pork burger because it had a pineapple slice, who knew! It was sweet and meaty.

Came here on a Thursday evening and with no resy. Thankfully we were able to get seated at a table without an issue. The staff here were very friendly and the ambiance was lovely. The food was very tasty. I love Thai food and having that incorporated into different dishes was quite a treat. Will definitely be returning to try some of their other dishes.

Amazing food! One of the best places I've been to in the Boston area. The Thai-Arnold Palmer was the perfect sweetness level, and a very unique drink. I ordered scallion fries expecting fries topped with scallions, but instead got fries made of scallions-a delightful surprise because they were super crispy for being vegetables and super flavorful. The larb burger was also a great Thai take on a classic. The interior was both upscale and welcoming, and the server was attentive throughout the meal and food came out quick. 5/5 stars for food, service, and ambience.

Very nice fusion burger spot. Vibe wise it's trendy, slightly upscale. Food comes quick and is quite good and hearty. The fusion really works--the burgers are yummy, with strong but not overpowering Thai flavors. One big highlight is the burger buns, which are a really nice sourdough. When I went the restaurant was full, which overwhelmed the only two waiters, but we still managed to get food quickly once we finally got to order.

Such a creative menu! Got the green curry chicken sandwich and it was really good. Wish there was a tad more sauce and lower bread ratio. The cocktail and drink menu all looked so goood. Cute interior with nice decor and seating.

One of my friends took me to this place and honestly one of my new favorite thai fusion food I've had in a while. Larb Pork Dumplings: 10/10, I've never had a larb dish before so this was my first experience! Honestly this was an upgrade from the usual pork dumplings, I could really taste the fresh herbs maybe hints of lemongrass/thai basil that was incorporated in larb pork. I also loved that it had a bit of heat. My favorite was the crispy arugula, that added a nice crunch to dish. Tom Yum Shrimp Pasta: 11/10, this dish was AMAZING! I loved the tartness and the combo with the thai herbs, tomatos, and mushrooms. I love that no food was wasted and the shrimp head was incorporated with the dish. Shrimp had such deep smokey flavor as well. This dish was also more spicier than I thought, the more I ate I felt the heat creeping on me, but it was a GOOD spiciness level where you get addicted with every bite. Legit inhaled this dish, would 100% come back to re-order this again. Tom Kha White Sauce with Grilled Cod Pasta: 8.5/10. This dish was more of a creamy light coconutty dish. The grilled cod that came with this dish was super buttery, and tender with no fishiness. I thought this was a really good dish, but the Tom Yum definitely outshined this. Thai Tea Ice Cream Float: 10/10, this was a great thai tea that was not too milky and I liked that the tea flavor was deep. The ice cream on top was just bonus and added extra creaminess. Mango Sticky Rice Sundae: 11/10, you can never go wrong with Mango sticky rice!! Super sweet and tender mango, creamy ice cream with lightly sweet coconut cream and the sticky rice had the perfect chewiness.

Good Thai American fusion restaurant. Tom yum shrimp pasta very flavorful not as strong as typical Tom yum flavor . Shrimp charred well but small portion for price. Shrimp roll was also pretty good and flavorful does not come with fries those must be bought separately

My partner and I shared the green curry cream sauce w grilled beef pasta, crispy basil beef burger, and khao soi beef burger - TASTE: 5/5 - highlights included the Thai green curry sauce, crispy basil beef burger's caramelized onions, and everything about the khao soi beef burger; so much khao soi flavor! Would come back to try more of the fusion menu TEXTURE: 5/5 - the mezzi rigatoni was a nice al dente, though wish the pieces of grilled ribeye we got were more fatty. The homemade sourdough brioche buns were perfect -- thick, soft, and satisfying. The Thai-style marinated beef patties were tender, and both burgers were very saucy (note: messy too lol) PRICE: 4/5 - higher price points for burgers ($16-19 each), and they don't come with fries, though we were fine without SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - the pasta serving was much smaller than I expected for $25, but the burgers were loaded and stacked high SERVICE: 3/5 - walked in at 12:15pm on a Saturday and the space was half full. Food came out 20-30min after ordering and, with only two waitresses, getting the bill was noticeably slow for our table and others around us ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - formerly the Chalawan Asian Eatery space, Black Ruby is casual chic and cozy. Heads up that the two bathrooms are a little tight PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street spot right on Mass Ave x Exeter Park

Nice contemporary ambiance, friendly service and delicious sandwiches, I had the crispy basil beef burger, juicy with little kick, my wife had the thai bbq pork burger, she said it was delicious, tasty and juicy. Our friends had the green curry chicken sandwich with fried egg plant, it was crunchy and had good kick (hot spicy) and the Thai garlic beef burger, tasty and delicious. All were good, good service and clean and modern ambiance. Only street meter parking in busy area, we were fortunate to find street parking after circling the area twice, on a non-busy day, and side streets are resident parking w/resident sticker... parking is limited unless you wish to walk a distance or take the mass transit bus.

Holy smokes! I came here with not much expectations and walked away totally blown away! This cozy Thai inspired craft burger and pasta fusion restaurant has so many innovative dishes that makes you craving for more! The ambiance was elegant and service was superb! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu! THIS IS A MUST VISIT!

Thai Fusion Burgers & Pasta - A Bold Twist on Classics Thai fusion cuisine is always an exciting concept, but this new restaurant takes it to the next level by blending traditional Thai flavors into American comfort foods like burgers and pasta. We stopped by for a Saturday lunch and found the place is already full with people. While the food was impressive, the service left much to be desired due to a clear understaffing issue. Only two front-of-house staffs juggling multiple roles as host/server/food runner/drink maker. If this spot continues to gain popularity, which it likely will, they'll need to step up their service game to keep up with demand. The place it self is cozy and cute. Drinks: Thai Milk Tea - A refreshing and well-balanced classic. The sweetness and creaminess were just right, making it a solid go to beverage. Thai Coffee with Coconut - This came as a surprise, as it was made with coconut water instead of coconut milk or cream. It wasn't what we expected, but my husband enjoyed its light and unique taste. Appetizers Calamari - Perfectly crispy and well seasoned, served with a delicious spicy mayo that complemented it. A must try starter! Steamed Basil Pork Dumplings - While the dumplings themselves were flavorful, they arrived with sauce already drizzled on top rather than served on the side. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough sauce, making the dish feel incomplete. Offering the sauce separately would improve the experience. Mains Thai Basil Beef Burger - A classic burger elevated with bold Thai basil seasoning, cooked to perfection. However, the bun was on the denser side, which made the overall bite feel a bit too heavy. A lighter, airier bun would have balanced it better. Green Curry Pasta with Grilled Ribeye - A fantastic fusion dish that perfectly showcase Thai and Italian flavors. The pasta was well-cooked and generously coated in a bold, spicy green curry sauce. The only downside was the portion size of the ribeye, it was a bit too small compared to the pasta. Also, a fair warning: if you can't handle spicy food, this dish might not be for you! Dessert Mango Sticky Rice Sundae - Hands down, the best mango sticky rice I've ever had! The combination of textures and flavors was absolutely divine. If you visit, don't even hesitate order this! I could've easily eaten two if I weren't already full. Despite the service challenges, the food here is worth coming back for. The unique fusion flavors set this spot apart, and there's a lot more on the menu to explore. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

5 out of 5 stars. Overall I really enjoyed the food here and thought the flavor combinations were good and the food was cooked well. The food came out in a timely manner, and most of the dishes came out super hot. The green curry and ribeye pasta was especially good. I will be back and look forward to trying the rest of their menu.

We visited Black Ruby on a Friday evening with a reservation and highly recommend making one if you can. It was pretty busy, but we were able to be seated right away. We got a couple of meads which were both good, the shrimp salad and Caesar salad as well as the khao soi and pork burgers. The salads were both fine, the shrimp wasn't exactly what I was expecting but still tasty (was a big lump of shrimp bits mixed with mandarin oranges on a bed of cabbage) and the Caesar in my opinion was fine but definitely nothing special. The burgers were both huge and delicious, especially the pork larb one. The herbs really add something unique to the burger that we've never really tasted before. We also tried the scallion fries which were basically chive cakes in stick form but were good as well. My main nit is that they're still using their soft opening menu, which would be fine except a bunch of items have been crossed out as no longer being offered. It was a little sad to see things that looked delicious but not an option anymore, plus the menus we got were pretty ratty and about to fall apart so it was a little tough to navigate.

What a great and creative addition to the neighborhood! Not your everyday burger...it's craft Thai fusion! I've been a couple times and my favorite burger is The Thai, garlic, beef, burger. Came out so juicy and delicious. Wonderfully prepared with mushrooms and cheese that was oozing from all sides. The french fries, here are fantastic and the service, quick and friendly. My second favorite burger is the crispy basil, beef, burger. Some might find it a little spicy, but it's not over the top spicy . This is a great place. Give it a try, hovel up to the bar and enjoy a beer while you wait for your food or dine in!

This was extremely delicious. Tried the garlic and crispy basil burgers. And the spring roll and Thai tea. The garlic was very tasty. The people I was with said the crispy garlic was the best burger they could remember. The spring roll was tasty but nothing special. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. The space was also really nice and new and bright. Definitely worth trying!

I had a delicious pork bbq burger that had pineapple and onion rings. The sauce was made in house and was so good!

I went a while ago during their soft opening and had a good time. It's supposed to be Thai-inspired burgers, and that's literally it. The burgers are indeed delicious themselves, and they have some twist on it e.g. some sauce that reminds you of Thai food or some crispy noodle topping that you'd usually find in Thai food. It's interesting, but honestly I felt it was a bit overhyped and expensive for what it is... I felt it was more like an "influencer" place. The restaurant itself is quite nice and modern upscale. But the food took forever to come... hopefully that's just a kink from the soft opening that'll be ironed out eventually.

This was incredible. A super cute and intimate space with delicious food. Not too expensive, or at least cheaper than I thought it would be going in. My friend and I each tried a different burger, and both were absolutely phenomenal. I got the larb pork burger, which was refreshing and my friend got the crispy basil, which was both our favorite. Will definitely be coming back!

Enjoyed the service (got seated immediately), the atmosphere (pretty details from decor to table etc, the food (get the Thai ice tea with scoop of ice cream was very tasty; the dumplings good texture and presentation; the pork sandwich; and mango rice dessert which mango was perfect ripeness and rice good texture).

Basil Burger was very good. Server needs better training on transmitting orders accurately to the kitchen, describing menu items accurately to the customer, and paying more attention to the customer.

All I have to say is WOW. I got the pad thai spring rolls, the shrimp tom yum salad, the Khai Soi Burger, and the Green Curry chicken sandwich. It is absolutely incredible, the thai sauces mixed with American classic dishes made me speechless. The one knock on this place is it's a bit pricey for a sandwich, but I would still say you have to come here to try this!

I tried Black Ruby for the first time - what a great addition to the food scene! Inside it's nothing fancy maybe 20 tables with a bar that seats 8. It looks like they're serving beer and wine - no hard liquors or cocktails in sight. The Crispy Basil Burger was fantastic! Juicy (this is definitely a meal for extra napkins) and just a bit spicy, served on a roll that supports all the toppings, highly recommended! The Pork Dumpling / potstickers were also an interesting fusion. They're in a soft opening, so there was some confusion about takeout orders, and they missed my request for a side salad - but then promptly credited my account when I contacted them. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the mood for an interesting burger.

I am a Chef. I love chicken satay and was SO excited to try this sandwich. While the chicken marinade and peanut sauce were excellent, possibly 5/5, the rest was unfortunately incredibly underwhelming for a "thai-inspired" sandwich. I would be happy to return for a side order of peanut sauce, or if they add a chicken satay appetizer or dish, but was very disappointed by this sandwich. I would not call the cucumber a "Thai sweet pickle." It did seem to have some sort of quick-pickling technique, but not enough to be noticeable. Also, please consider pickling the carrots instead of serving them raw and unseasoned. Nothing about either the cucumber or the carrots were Thai-inspired. I was very excited for the bun given that is it a "homemade sourdough brioche bun." Putting aside the fact that it was still raw and doughy, it was fairly well executed. While I wouldn't use the word "brioche" in its description, the sourdough was very flavorful. But again, nothing about it was thai-inspired. Consider adding coconut milk to the dough, or infusing it with lemongrass, coriander, chili flakes, or fish sauce/soy sauce. I was also expecting a slightly larger serving of chicken. At least as much as you would get when ordering a normal satay appetizer.

Good first experience. Probably need to return to try other things. Thai burger was tasty. Onion rings were generic / frozen variety which was disappointing.

was here recently with a friend for lunch. we each had the thai garlic burger, very tasty and juicy. the meat was slightly underdone for my taste and the server had not presented any options as to how we wanted the meat cooked. the server was strangely aloof. never made eye contact and probably did not say a word from start to finish; no hello, goodbye, OK, whatever. pretty weird that is someone's idea of restaurant service.

The food and cocktails were so good! Our party of 2 came on a Tuesday evening for dinner. The restaurant was not crowded at first but it was full by 7:30 pm. No loud music. Service was good. Nice looking restaurant. We got: the Thai tea spritz - tastes like a really good candy. The plum sour- sweet and sour taste goes so well together. Heavy on the sour if that is your thing. The Thai herbs calamari- great crunchy coating on the outside. Compare to the other 2 dishes, this one did not have as big of a surprise twist, but it was still a very good dish. The tom yum shrimp- great rich flavor. The shrimp was so good. Nice twist with the pasta. I always wanted to have tom yum flavor noddle that isn't in soup form and now I got my wish. Chicksatay sandwich- i usually do not like the satay chicken at other places but this was very good. I did not get bored of eating it. I notice you can substitute the protein on certain dishes for vegetarian options. 10/10 would come back again.

This place is fairly new and not too far from where I live. It showed up on my instagram feed so thought would give a try. Went on a Saturday for lunch, the place was almost full which was a good sign. We were greeted with a smile and they said they would seat us as soon as they bussed a table of a party who was getting up to leave. There isn't really an area to wait so was a little awkward but not that big of a deal unless there were a lot of people waiting. We were seated and brought some water. Our server came by promptly to take our order. We tried the scallion fries and pad thai spring rolls for appetizers. The scallion fries were interesting not what we expected. They were not really 'fries' but rectangle blocks. They were gelatinous on the inside and crispy on the outside. The flavor was good but the texture was not 'fry' like. The pad thai spring rolls were just fine, they actually tasted like regular spring rolls so not quite sure why they were called 'pad thai' ones. My friend and I each ordered a burger. Both burgers seemed to have the same burger patty and the only difference was what accompanied it. The brioche bun was quite thick as expected for a brioche bun but maybe 'too' thick. Not really sure why restaurants stack their burgers so high. Sure it looks good but it's unrealistic for people to be able to eat it with their hands, as a burger should be eaten. My friend and I opted to removed the top bun and then use a knife and fork to eat. Overall the burgers were good, not too greasy. The toppings worked well together, maybe a bit too much 'sauce'? if we ever go back we'd want to try one of the noodle or salad dishes but we'll see. It's a cute little place, the service was prompt, polite and friendly. Everything was clean and the tables weren't too close together (one of my pet peeves). It doesn't make the top of my list but I'd visit again. As always never take my word on it and give it a try yourself.

This was fantastic. Everything was really tasty, it wasn't too expensive, the staff were great. We had spring rolls, the green curry sandwich, the crispy basil beef burger, and scallion fries. We will definitely be going back. The pasta we saw people around us eating looked great too. I was surprised how fast we were able to get seated and how fast our food came out for such a new restaurant.

Just tried the appetizers delicious! Can't wait to come back and get a full meal! Friendly atmosphere and delicious food ! Yum yum yummy! Welcome to the neighborhood!

This place is so very good. We couldn't choose and ended up ordering a bit of everything. Fantastic. Even with what seemed short staff they are quick and courteous. Definitely coming back and would definitely suggest to anyone and everyone. Not a single piece of food isn't good

Review for their green curry chicken sandwich..this sandwich was a flavor explosion in my mouth, fried chicken sandwich topped with a green curry sauce including eggplant..chicken fried to perfection - juicy and crispy, and the sauce was just the right amount,, got it as a take out and snuck a bite back in car..a little messy but well worth it. Everything was just right, pricier for a chicken sandwich but what isn't now a days, looking forward to trying othe items on menu but I would definitely get the green curry chicken sandwich again again as long as it stays consistently yummy.
