"This relatively new Oak Square restaurant replaced Twelve Hours, a beloved husband-and-wife spot in the neighborhood. Street-style stir-fried rice and noodle dishes are the signature, and so are the grilled meat offerings, such as moo ping (grilled pork skewers) and the famous Thai dish Crying Tiger (marinated and grilled steak). If you’re in the mood for sharing, order the tom yum mor fai, a heartwarming, fragrant broth filled with fresh seafood. Don’t forget to pair your food with Thai beer or Thonglor’s inventive cocktails." - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal

Absolutely outstanding Thai food…and in Brighton of all places! Each dish is truly authentic and flavorful. The cocktails are excellent and well balanced. I’m particularly impressed by the pad Thai because the noodles are served al dente with a good chew, instead of being overcooked like many other establishments. The only issue I have is with the atmosphere, it’s a small space so the tables are crammed fairly close. Also the seats are really uncomfortable. The food makes it worth it though! I’ve been here three times and I am still excited to come back again. If you’re coming on the weekends, make sure to reserve as it gets busy.

Best Thai food in Boston! The curry is rich with fruity flavors, and the pineapple chunks are perfectly juicy. The steak is even better than what you’d find at some steakhouses.

We stopped by Thonglor for dinner. The restaurant is small, but it's still serviceable. It does get busy, but we were able to get a table for two. The staff and owner are Thai's. We ordered 3 dishes. The dishes portions are big. We loved 2 out of the 3 dishes. The Tom Yum Morfai with mussels, squids, and shrimps highly recommend. The flavor was really flavorful and authentic. The seafood was fresh. The Tum Lard is a must! Flavorful marinated pork with tum Yum papaya. I wished it to be more spicey. The deep fried fish with herbs, vegetables, noodles, and two types of sauces. I like the concepts that you wrap it and eat with your hands. For 35 dollars dish the fish should be fresh. We definitely know the fish isn't fresh because the texture is mushy. I like the Thonglor sour drink. Overall, the food is authentic. The food came out pretty quick. I would definitely come back and try other dishes.

A great little authentic Thai spot in Brighton! Went there for a casual dinner on a weekend. Food: The food was pretty good. We tried the Papaya Salad (sweet-sour with strong hints of peanuts), the Tod Mun (soft fish cakes - very tasty) for Starters. Crying Tiger is a must if you like meat - flavorful steak with homemade sweet sauce. We also tried the spicy Pork (Moo), which was our least favorite (pork was dry and it was not spicy at all). Overall the food is good, authentic, but VERY sweet. Cocktails: fantastic! We had the Rose, which literally tasted like liquid candy, and the Ghost Pepper, which had a wonderful kick if you like your drinks spicy! Service: pretty fast, mildly attentive, but very nice. Venue: the venue is very nice, street-food modern style, however it gets very busy with lots of people picking up take-out. Wouldn't recommend for a date, but perfect for casual dining.

Yum neau is very good. Good taste, good service and authentic thai food. Almost dishes and cocktails are pretty sweet in my opinion.

What a hidden gem!! Don’t come to Brighton much but if you’re in the area looking for some authentic Thai this is the place! The atmosphere felt like Thailand with its charm, food was flavorful and delish! My only qualm was I wish the portion size was bigger. It was so good and staff was so kind! Free street parking.

Packed with flavors. Absolutely a must visit if you’re into Thai cuisine. The sticky rice is addicting and the salad in the dish is very refreshing. I would love to visit again! We went on Monday eve and all tables were occupied. So get in early if you can!

Can only speak on the food for now since my first experience was take out, but WOW!! Where has this Thai spot been whenever I have craving for Thai food. Everything was so when seasoned and the spicy dishes packed a delectable heat. The pad Thai was hands down the best I’ve had in Boston and it wasn’t even served fresh from the kitchen. The fried chive dumplings were still crispy. Everything was just outstanding for a takeout experience. Can’t wait to stop by for a pleasant sit down meal!

Fresh. Funky. Fabulous. We got the chicken satay, the chicken pad Thai, and the Gong Karee and the only issue was that we couldn't decide which one we liked best. I'm so happy we found a place this good and this close to home. We'll definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu.

All I can say is... wow. I normally don't eat out as close to home, but I was in a rush and my parents wanted Thai and what a delight today was! The food was PHENOMENAL! So delicious and so were the drinks. The duck curry was so good I was drinking the sauce like soup! My favorite Thai restaurant is in South end but I think it has new competition with this new restaurant! I loved every bit of the experience today. Highly recommend and I'll be back again and again! So much more on the menu to explore! The setting was cool, intimate and inviting! Great for a lunch date or a cute dinner!

My family and friends meet here on a Monday just as they opened since my brother was a huge fan of this place. We were a party of 7 so we were relieved to be the first ones there. However, shortly after every seat was full and there was even a line. We loved the broth of the Tom yum as well as the seafood. I haven't had Khao pad poo other than a Chinese crab fried rice version and was a huge fan of the flavors. The Pad Thai shrimp was also top notch for my typically unsatisfied preferences. The Pad kee mao was delicious as well but I could always do with more gravy. The Panang nuer was tender and seasoned perfectly. I really liked the fish sauce served with the Grilled squid since it was so spicy and tangy. The Kai Tod had yai was crispy and salty. And the Sweet mango sticky rice was a perfect way to end our meal. Drinks were phenomenal including the 999 roses and makam. Overall, I had a fantastic time and so did everyone in my party. There were 3 servers for the whole place but they could certainly use a few extra hands since they were so busy. Even so, they were still so sweet and fulfilled all our requests. Would absolutely love to come again and highly recommend others to support this locally owned and beautifully crafted Thai place!

Wonderful and cozy Thai spot nestled in the Brighton-Newton corner area. Ordered a marinated pork dish and chicken pad Thai because that's always a good baseline for comparison. Portions are pretty generous considering the price inflation on food lately. The pork was supposed to come with 'sticky' rice but honestly it was just regular steamed white rice in a cute little thatched pouch. Pad Thai game was strong. tldr; nice Thai spot if you're looking for your fix

Stopped by on Thursday dinner time to take out Pat Thai. Was busy. I heard customer commenting food was great. Was told waiting time is 10min. My order came in 25min. Missed two busses to go home. Pad Thai was mediocre or below average. and very little portion for the price. Read great reviews on here and also my foodie friend recommended this restaurant. Pad Thai tasted over flavored. Otherwise all staffs were very hard working, taking care of both eat in and picking up customers smoothly, I was impressed for their work ethic. I may try other dishes in the future but not so inspired. They seemed trying bit fancy Thai experience kinda . . . . Anyway, foodie friend said I should have ordered Tofu Penyang Curry.

Tried this place twice thus far and i must say i do enjoy the experience. Waitresses were attentive and quick. I got to try the papaya salad, it isn't spicy so fire seekers, this isn't it. Non-fire seekers this is perfect! The Tom yum Morfai dish was flavorful and had a mix of seafood shrimps, squid, mussels etc. enjoyed taking the broth and putting rice in it after. The roti massaman was good, but be warned could be on the saltier side for some (i like salty) wish there were more pieces of the roti Khao pad ga pow was their basil fried rice. I was hoping for a spicier kick. Usually basil fried rice I've had at many other places had a nice spice level. Tasty still but would probably try asking if they could spice it up more next time. Their Tiger steak dish i felt was lacking. A lot of fat on the pieces some may love, not my jam personally. The sauce that came with it was delish! The duck with pineapple dish was alright could have been hotter it wasn't our favorite. Three flavor fish was very tasty i enjoyed the flavor. I thought the fish was a tad dry but overall liked it. Ambiance seems to be very inviting, the place is usually jamming. We went on a weekday and a weekend. The weekends pretty packed but tables are turned around quick. Overall recommend? Yes! The lady has all the good pictures, i was busy eating. Only took photo of the mango sticky rice!

Finally got to visit Thonglor after receiving a recommendation from a friend and I wasn't disappointed The dishes were colorful, flavorful, and had the perfect temperature and spice. The pad cha talay had a great portion of seafood that was perfectly cooked and flavored (definitely would order this again). The larb ped was refreshing with fresh herbs that paired well with the duck (i recommend having this dish with rice! ). Finally, the pad see ew was one of the best I've had because of the noodle texture and overall balanced flavor of slightly sweet and savory‼ They also have a wide range of beautiful drinks at their bar that I would love to come back and bring friends to try Definitely would visit again to try more dishes!

Great place! Loved the bread and curry appetizer and every entree was delicious. Cool chill vibe and creative taste cocktails. We will be back every time we visit our daughter at BC.

HOLY SMOKES. Talk about an authentic Thai place that has a chill and mood-lit ambiance. I love it! This might quite possibly be my favorite Thai restaurant -- so authentic. FAVE ITEMS: - Chicken Satay: omg this is a must-get. This may be my favorite. The peanut sauce is so creamy and the chicken is so soft and tender. - Khao Pad Poo: crab fried rice basically. This comes with a generous portion of crab chunks that simply paired so well with the fried rice. I am already thinking about this dish again. SERVICE: quick and fast! I am so amazed they are able to whip out these dishes so quickly. PARKING: lots of street parking around the restaurant. PRICE: really decently priced! You're def getting quality here Overall, I think this may be one of my favorite Thai spots I have ever tried in general. Honestly so good :)

We had a nice Mother's Day lunch here. The dining space is casual but trendy, with cool corrugated tin ceiling tiles and brick wall. The food was delicious and took almost no time to come out. Service was quick and efficient. We ordered the Roti with Massaman Curry dip as an appetizer, and shared a Three Flavor Fish (mildly spiced sweet sour fried whole red snapper), Crying Tiger (generous seared sirloin steak with dipping sauce), and Goong Karee (shrimp in a mild dry curry sauce). The Thai iced tea was awesome too. What a great find in Oak Square! It fills up by 12 so make reservations.

One of the better Thai spots in Boston. In the oak square area, where the only parking is street parking but we didn't have an issue finding parking on a Saturday night. Staff was really friendly, if I are going with a group larger than 4, it would be best to make a reservation. The drinks were interesting and good. I honestly don't remember the names, sorry! For the food, the beef Penang curry was the tables favorite. It was simple but packed with flavor and a nice little kick. The chicken pad Thai is one of the better ones I've had ever. The crab meat fried rice had legitimate limb crab meat unlike most crab meat fried rice where you get tiny bits of snow crab meat. The last item we got was a spicy seafood dish, which was good but not as interesting or as delicious as the others. This is also a great date night, nothing fancy but good eats spot. One thing I did notice was the music was a little loud, but not a deal breaker for me.

Delicious. They do Thai food right with a lil extra. Service was good and even though I didn't get any drinks tonight, I did look at the cocktail menu and it looked pretty good. I will definitely return, try a cocktail or two, order a different dish and hopefully keep the review 5 stars as I have faith in this place.

MY NEW FAVORITE THAI SPOT! I have always enjoyed thai food but could never find a place that I really enjoy. I have visited Thonglor twice this past week and cannot get enough. My favorite so far has been the crying tiger, which entails grilled steak with a spicy sauce to dip and sticky rice. I also loved the Tom yum morfai soup! It comes with a bunch of different seafoods and I totally recommend dipping sticky rice into the soup... SO GOOD! The roti massaman curry appetizer was just all right, I have to say. It was on the saltier side and was not my favorite. The papaya salad is delightful-- a great appetizer to start with. The 3 flavor fish was yummy, as was the Kang Phed Ped (duck curry with pineapple). I was not a big fan of the chicken basil fried rice. It was not as hot as I would like it to be, spice and temperature wise. The mango sticky rice is a must! Overall, great thai spot to try if you haven't tried it. All dishes have great flavor and you cannot go wrong with just about any of the dishes offered on the menu !

This is my second time. And I've got to say this place is the place for Thai. Best pad Thai in MA so far. It's got a beautiful wok flavor. Toasty and fire kissed. Flavor is on point. Not too sweet. Good balance of veggies. Protein cut to nice sizes. Nice. Probably the best Tom yum soup ever had in my life. Like dude. Holy hell. I wish I had a bigger spoon. I just kept going at it. Slurp slurp slurp. I couldn't stop! Seriously. Friggin delish. Seafood inside wasn't over cooked. Plump. Good size. Lime-y flavor. Ughhhh so good. Definitely my favorite Thai restaurant in MA

Yelp
You can't go wrong with anything here. I love the Penang Nuer and roti massaman. Curry puffs are a gamechanger. Pad Thai is great portion and don't even need to add sambal oelek, flavor is fantastic. Chicken satay good too. If adventurous and want to try a unique sweet, try the Kanom pung Sungkaya.

Great service, food was solid. Room temp water was unfortunate but whatever. Good taste nice inside building.

That Panang curry was delish! Came here for dinner on a rainy Saturday night and luckily found street parking right out front. The restaurant is spacious with booths and tables for big and small groups. We ordered Pad See Ew, Panang Curry and papaya salad to share between my bf and I. The Papaya salad had a nice spicy kick and it tasted fresh and was very filling. The Pad see Ew was also delicious. The noodles were nice and soft and the beef tasted great. The star of the dinner show was the Panang curry. The flavors were rich and very flavorful. The pork was a good choice for the curry, it was cooked perfectly. I only wish we ordered two dishes of the Panang curry because we were both fighting for the last serving of the curry. We quickly gobbled up all our food and wished we had room for dessert but we were super stuffed by the end of dinner. The waitresses were very nice and attentive and always filled up our water cup and asked if we were good throughout dinner. We had a pleasant experience and meal and we will definitely be back!

One of the best Thai restaurants in Boston; worth a trip. Great menu, tasteful comfortable interior. Gracious service is fleet but trying to keep up with a full house. Default rice portion felt disappointingly withheld. But all in all, one of the most memorable meals around for taste.

Reilley D.

Yelp
Slightly annoyed at my uber eats delivery. I like to keep my curry and rice separated and found my rice drenched in curry and coming to me an hour later with soggy rice. I'm not saying it's the restaurants fault, but different packaging would be better. Other than that food is good. Update.... 1.0 in my delivery found this random thing in my curry looks to be a shell or something? But this curry is not supposed to have seafood in it?

Shane H.

Yelp
Absolutely delicious! Best Thai food in Boston!! Literally the fish is crunchy and full of flavor. The tamarind gave rich and bold flavors that I look for in a southeast asian dish. The Thai Iced Tea helps cut down the heaviness of the fish. The crab fried rice has actual crab meat!! The sweetness of the crab meat elevates the fried rice very well. Again the best Thai food!

Had a phenomenal experience at Thonglor, and looking forward to returning! Our party of four shared the larb ped (minced duck), crying tiger (steak), kang phed ped (duck curry), and pad thai (w tofu), plus the Thonglor sour and oliang cocktails - TASTE: 5/5 - everything was truly fantastic. If I had to pick a favorite, the larb ped's combo of spicy citrus dressing, mint, red onion, and cilantro was chef's kiss. The crying tiger's marinated steak was tasty, even without the spicy Thai herb sauce, and the kang phed ped's sweet curry was well balanced TEXTURE: 5/5 - from the tender steak to the sliced, crispy duck in the curry, and the fatty, minced duck in the larb - excellent textures throughout PRICE: 4/5 - our total came to $134 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - should've gotten a side of rice to use up all of the curry sauce, but finished everything easily between the four of us SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 5:15pm on a Saturday and were seated quickly without a reservation. Our food came out 15-20min after ordering, and the staff was friendly ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - every element of the space was intentional and made us feel transported to Thailand! Loved the decor, the presentation of the dishes, and the drawn artwork on the cocktail menu. Was also vibing to the Mac Ayres soundtrack playing PARKING: 4/5 - parked on Tremont St, near Oak Square, and walked a few blocks over

Very friendly service and very delicious, authentic Thai food. 10/10 would recommend!

Food - tofu cooking level ( softness) could be improved; ; service need clear improvement as they are not adequately staffed. They forgot to give plates despite reminders and an entire dish did not come for 25 minutes after the order.

Fantastic, authentic Thai food. I really enjoyed my meal here. The service was a bit slow, but for the food, the wait was worth it. They also had excellent cocktails with a flair!

Definitely one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the area for Pad Kee Mao ( Drunken Noodles). It had multiple proteins (shrimp, egg, chicken) and was super flavorful! Great portion size as well! The menu wasn't too big so it was easier to make a decision. In addition to the noodles, I also ordered Thai tea which was sweet and creamy! The items aren't as customizable compared to other Thai places. For example, if you have a shrimp allergy you can't really order the pad kee mao on online ordering apps without it. Although they may be able to accommodate if asked. The place was also decorated very nicely! Overall, would recommend checking this place out!

Angie T.

Yelp
I came here for dinner recently and had a wonderful experience. The space is nicely decorated. Service was friendly and attentive at all times. We shared a bunch of dishes, including a couple of the specials like the oysters, which were very refreshing. Portions are quite generous and everything was super flavorful and well executed. I would certainly recommend giving this place a try!

Made a reservation for 5 just in case and I'm glad we did. Restaurant was full sat night around 6:30. Food were all delicious but service was a bit slow. Crab fried rice and grilled tenderloin pork was my favorite!

Deborah C.

Yelp
Came on a Thursday evening around 6:30pm and a few tables were occupied. A few parties came in during the night but it never got too crowded. The two of us ordered drinks and the Larb Gai and Ba-Mee Poo to share. I had never tried either dish before, so I was really excited and was not disappointed! The Larb Gai was very fragrant and came with sticky rice. The Ba-Mee Poo was surprisingly sweet, but the sweetness was offset by the meat and chili flakes. Overall a really enjoyable meal with friendly service. The menu isn't huge, but you can tell each dish is prepared in a meaningful way. Would definitely come back to try more!

Shilpa S.

Most excellent food and creative drinks. I am just obsessed with that kui chai (chive dumpling), I needed more! Everything else hit the spot as well - was especially a fan of the Tom yum morfai (bonus - killer presentation).

Came here on a quiet Friday night while visiting the Boston area. No reservations needed but parking in the neighborhood can be a bit challenging. They serve good comforting Thai staples. We had veggie spring rolls for appetizer, pad see ew with shrimp (shrimps were large and generous), and green curry with chicken. Table service was good. We liked the authentic Thai inspired wall decorations and comfortable leather seating. Will come back if we return to the Boston area.

I arrived at Thonglor late Friday evening and was able to get seated while waiting for my friend to come in. We ordered the curry puff, pad thai, Pad Ped Pla Dook as well as Sorn Klin and Margarita for drinks. The curry puff was amazing. It tasted flaky on the outside, but the inside was so tender and soft. The sweet dipping sauce paired really well with the dish. I would be careful as the puff crumbles really fast. The pad ped pla dook was pretty darn good and had a nice kick of spices. There was peppercorn scattered throughout the dishes, making each bite tingly on the tongue. The fish was pretty good. It was battered on the outside but moist on the inside. This dish was served with rice, which helped offset the spice as it kicks in between each bite. I like how it came stir-fried with a variety of vegetables as well. The Sorn Klin tasted pretty good, and the presentation matched the images on the menu. It was not too sweet but also not too strong, which is perfect for me. My friend liked her margarita so much she decided to order a second one. Service was pretty alright as they checked up on us and provided a large jug to refill our own water. They also did not rush us throughout our meals, so I enjoyed the ambiance for when you want to have a cozy chat while drinking. Everything was reasonably priced, and the portions were not bad as I had leftovers by the end of the meal. Do note that they stop seating people half an hour before closing as the kitchen closes early. I would definitely come back to try their other drinks and food!

My husband and I live within a short walk from Thonglor, and this is our go-to spot for an amazing dinner out. The decor is simple, but very hip and not overdone. Our service has almost always been excellent, although occasionally there is someone who is a bit sullen that we've only seen once or twice. Now, onto the food...in short, it's amazing! By far the best Thai food I've ever had, and certainly better than nearby Thai North by leaps and bounds. I keep meaning to try more on the menu, but rarely get past reordering the tum tard. Chicken satay skewers are always piping hot, yellow and scrumptious. The Roti massaman appetizer is insanely delicious, absolutely addictive. Believe the hype: Thonglor is lit.

Emily L.

Yelp
My new favorite Thai place!! I think this spot just opened and I am so glad I tried it. What we got: Thai ice tea: pretty decent, not too strong in tea flavor but not too sweet either! Curry puff: YES. Every time I get this at other restaurants, there is no curry flavor. NOT THIS ONE. This one is delicious - the inside has tons of curry flavor, the potato is not overcooked, and the outside is flaky and buttery. Absolutely would get this again. Pad thai: also delicious! This one was more on the wet side but the noodles were cooked well and the shrimp was perfection!! Crying tiger: beautifully plated. The beef was tender and juicy and had a nice grilled flavor. Also thought it was a nice touch to have the sticky rice come in the bamboo basket. I'm not sure if I like it enough to get it again but it was good! The menu overall was a one sheeter but had a good variety of options. There are many dishes I would come back to try! Also there is street parking available. Highly recommend!

Connie C.

Yelp
One of the my Thai places! We went 3 times in one month, even though we don't live near by. Can't go wrong with the pad Thai & shrimp pad see ew. The noodle textures and flavors were very good. And great non-spicy options Get squid and ask for extra green sauce. Whatever that sauce is, it's addictive! Tum tard is one of their specials a grilled tenderloin pork with sticky rice and papaya salad. Their sauces are really good! Most does have a kick. If you want to be adventurous, definitely get their crispy fish!

Everything was delicious! Ordered take out via Uber Eats. The order was prepared quickly and pick up was quick at the counter. It was a very quick interaction but the staff seemed friendly -- greeted when I stepped into the restaurant and hand off was easy. Haven't eaten Thai food in a long while and Thonglor definitely hit the spot with all the dishes! Everything was flavorful and cooked well. For the prices, some of the portions seemed a bit small but overall this meal was great. Chicken satay - tender, juicy and comes with two sauces: peanut and sweet/sour Khao Pad Poo (crab fried rice) - yummy especially if you like the salty seafood flavor. I thought the white pieces on top were egg whites but that was the crab pieces haha Kai Tod Had Yai (fried chicken) - based on the description I thought it would be chicken wings but this was a quarter of whole chicken. Regardless of the form factor, the chicken was cooked well, juicy, and flavorful Pad Cha Talay (seafood) - has a bit of a kick/spice! I'm not a fan of spicy, but I can tell the sauce and rice is a perfect pairing Pad See Ew with beef - flavorful and classic dish. The beef was chewy to me and the portion seemed on the lesser side Pad Thai - another classic. Comes with chicken and shrimp. Delicious! Kui Chai (vegetable dumpling) - the texture was not what I expected; it's soft and chewy, but I liked it! Reminds me of the texture of Chinese turnip cakes (lo bak go). Comes with sweet black soy sauce. Delish! Curry puff - crispy crust and soft inside. Current flavor could be stronger Thai tea - refreshing. Not as sweet as I've had

My friend and I decided to try out this new Thai place several weeks ago. The restaurant was small but cozy. We ordered the Curry Puffs, Kui Chai, Khao Soi Gai, and Tom Yum Mor Fai. The curry puffs were crispy pastries filled with curry chicken and served with a peanut and cucumber relish. They were delicious! The Kui Chai were fried chives dumplings served with a sweet soy sauce. They were so good! The Khao Soi Gai were egg noodles in a creamy coconut curry sauce topped with chicken, and crispy egg noodles. Lime, pickles, and shallots were on the side. This is one of my favorite Thai dishes and they executed it really well. The Tom Yum Mor Gai was a hot and sour lemongrass soup with shrimp, squid, mussels and mushrooms. Boy, was it spicy! I think they should have put three peppers on the menu for this dish. Due to its spiciness, I didn't really enjoy this one. For drinks, we got Thai Iced Tea which was on par. Also, the air conditioning seems to come and go. Overall, it's a pretty good Thai place.

Couldn't review this place fast enough. The food is creative, elegantly presented, and delicious. Not only was everything cooked PERFECTLY, but all the sauces are extremely special. We ordered a lot, but the highlights were: -The steak -The fried fish (the amazing thing about this whole fish is the dramatic presentation and the fact that they scoop out the fish in pieces, fry them with vegetables and sauce, and return them onto the fish) -The crab fried rice The chive dumplings were extremely unusual but we enjoyed them. Will definitely be back to try the cocktails. Great vibe too!

This place replaces Twelve Hours (they will also be missed). We love thai food and Rod Dee's is just a bit far for us to get to. This place is much closer and we had to try it. First thing I noticed is this place has less seating than the previous restaurant it replaces, and its a good thing as it feels more roomy and comfortable. The place likely opened very recently as we noticed an older man thanking every one on their way out...so he must be the owner keeping an eye on things. The waitresses were also pretty clumsy when trying to fill our water cups and getting water all over the table (no big deal). The waitresses did not check up on us after we started eating, and we had to work a little to get their attention to get an extra rice. Other than that, we had a pleasant meal here. The food was pretty good but on the salty side...but it wasn't so bad that the food is not edible, as we did thoroughly enjoy most of our dishes. The soft shell crab special was really good. There were 2 crabs and the sauce was very rich and tasted sooo good with rice. The pad thai and pad see ew were good but special call out to the shrimp. They were pretty generous in size...plump and cooked perfectly. The whole snapper was good too..take your time and you'll find more meat and get more out of this dish...especially since its $35. At least it came with rice. The grilled squid was just ok. Other than the slightly saltier tastes, we all enjoyed our first meal at this place and will likely be coming back. I'm sure the service will get better, and possibly the flavoring. The atmosphere is comfy and the workers were friendly. Your biggest challenge from this place is finding parking on the busy Washington street.

Me and my friends came here based on Yelp's reviews. Oh man, the foods were so good. We had few dishes such as papaya salad, tom yum soup, crab fried rice, chicken satay. It was really good. We also had few drinks it come out really good as well. The services are very nice and quick. The place is a bit small so be sure to make reservations and highly recommended to everyone. It probably becomes my favorite Thai foods from now.

Ordered take out from here with a few friends while i was in town. We tried the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Crab Fried Rice and it was all delicious. Very flavorful and the noodles in particular soaked up the flavors as they should have. The prices were reasonable too so I can definitely say I would recommend this place to others. Thai food is one of my personal favorites so this is another location I am adding to my list of spots to return to when back in Boston.

Yummy! Nice Thai Restaurant in Brighton. Tried the Phad See Yu, Penang curry, Crying Tiger Sirloin Steak, Chicken Satay, grilled Squid. Kuao Soi Kai. The grill squid should have been served stirfried with the sauce since it was a bit dry. The Crying Tiger was overrated for $25 it was tasty but the steak was overcooked. Not worth it. My pomergranite juice soda was too sweet and it tasted like a kiddie drink. Other than that, everything was excellent. The service was friendly. It was not crowded but I came on a weekday so I'm sure it might pick up. I wouldn't say this is my favorite Thai restaurant but I certainly would come here again to order the dishes I really liked.

I ordered Uber eats from here and was completely mind blown! I actually liked every single thing that I ordered from the menu. The pad Thai was absolutely perfect and I'm very picky about pad. Thai some places make it to eggy or too greasy in this place is absolutely perfect. Plenty of chicken and shrimp in the meat is a high-quality not like rubbery. I had a seafood soup that was out of this world with again plenty of seafood in it and the flavor of the broth in the ingredients in the broth are fantastic. It has a very nice lime leaf sort of flavor that goes really well with the seafood. Crab fried rice with a lot of crab on top.

I always enjoy trying out local Thai restaurants, and this one didn't let me down. Food was beautifully presented. The staffs were helpful, and the wall art was lovely.

The atmosphere is definitely worthy of many stars. They set the mood for a good first date scene. The food however is way TOO HOT. I have had Thai for years and years. I even went mild on my meal choice and this was just covered in red pepper. I hated it. I think it literally burned the back of my throat from the spice. I couldn't even enjoy the flavor. What a miserable experience.

Actually incredibly mid. Three Flavor Fish was fried but stale, Tum Tard was chewy, and not very tender. Don't let these trumped up reviews from white people fool you. From an actual Asian who has been to actual Thonglor, for "the best thai food in the Boston area," this is such a let down.

Definitely a solid place to get Thai food. Have been on the hunt and I've had this bookmarked for some time, and really glad we tried it. We ordered Khao Soi, larb, and pad see ew. Also got curry dumplings. Everything was really good, and honestly the pad see ew was my favorite. It was loaded with super fresh gai lan and the flavors were perfectly balanced, not too sweet. It also had a nice heat level to it. The larb was good, however I felt it needed more acid and spice. They used a dried chilis which only hit your buds when they're broken or you eat them directly. Just different than what I was used to, but still good. And sticky rice paired with it? Can't go wrong. We shall be back.

My Partner enjoyed his chicken Pad Thai so we'll be back. The chicken satay was very good. Just was wasn't sure how to use the delicious sauces that came with it. My Pad Woon Sen was tasty but some of the noodles were clumped. The server was nice and food came quick. The beer was good and the decor was fun.
