Lea VerouOctober 9, 2015Amazing Thai food and very reasonable prices. Especially the Virgin Island (the one in the coconut shell) is probably the best curry I've ever had.
Ben BearnotSeptember 14, 2015This place is growing on me. Good for dining in, good for take out, good for delivery. This place has become a real Cambridge go-to for Thai! Get a Thai iced coffee to go.
Jeremy KrantzOctober 12, 2014This is the sister restaurant to Brown Sugar Cafe near BU. Great food, service and value but with less of a line.
Jeanette MukaiSeptember 7, 2015My go-to meal: chive dumplings, tom yum soup, and moo yang nam tok (spicy grilled pork salad). The moo yang nam tok is VERY spicy!
Jessica FjeldOctober 27, 2014Awesome Thai food! Love the pork laab and country style pad Thai. Delivery can take awhile.- Jesse JohnstonNovember 30, 2014Authentic, delicious Thai food right across the street from MIT. Try the red curry with rice! Yum.
Sukanya SeshadriSeptember 26, 2013Worth every cent. Generous portions which are great for sharing. Spicy too!- Joshua BerkMay 28, 2012Owned & run by the same people as Brown Sugar, so you can expect excellent food/service.
ElenaJanuary 27, 2012Everything is fabulous - but the unsung hero award goes to the brown sugar salad. Chock full of yummy thai toppings and will not leave you hungry.
Satin RussellSeptember 14, 2013Country Style Pad Thai is delish, but the Tamarind Fish is exceptional! Lychee Martini is a lovely accompaniment.
Recommended by Thais: One of the best Thai Restaurant in Boston. Every dish tastes like home!!!!- The Crispy Pad Thai is quite good, better than the regular noodles
Falcon DarkstarNovember 6, 2016Long menu; pick at random. Everything is good. The Chinese broccoli is, alas, western broccoli.
George FisherJuly 18, 2013Food is great, owners are great; but when they say something is spicy, brother, you'd better believe it.
- Joshua BerkMay 28, 2012Get a Singha, the very first Thai beer ever brewed in 1933. Very light and refreshing.
Try the khao soi, soft noodles with chicken in a yellow curry soup. Just spicy enough, delicious.
Tommy WisdomDecember 7, 2011They don't waste time on the phone here. I placed a takeout order in 6.2 seconds. I welcome any challengers to take on my record.
