My favorite Thai restaurant! Always hot and fresh. Their cucumber sauce is unique and the absolute best! Staff is always friendly and kind. Reasonable prices. read more

I ordered lunch from here via a catering service during the work week. Because is this, I can't comment on the service or ambiance of the place, so this review is based on the food alone. I ordered the brocolli and mushroom dish with chicken. It was decent but didn't wow me. The portions were okay, not a ton of chicken. I didn't love the flavor of the broth the chicken was cooked in. I found it to be dry too. There are other options on the menu I would try. Some coworkers ordered the pad Thai, which they said was outstanding. read more

Charm Thai Bistro - Brocolli and mushroom with chicken - Thai Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Order lunch here and wanna saw how cute main street Wakefield is getting. Everyone was so very friendly when I walked in. I ordered to go/pick up. They made it so welcoming There's only a few tables to sit down and eat, to me a better take out spot than dine in. There is only street parking if you can find one, I had to go down a side street to find a 15 min spot. I ordered the veg udon thinking I would get it as is for the price it was on the website, but then when I added it wanted to charge me an additional $1 for the veg and was literally just udon noodles in garlic sauce. I was a little bummed there was an up charge for the "veg" when I think it should come as described, and obviously any additions from the standard should be charged. But since I'm a plain jane I did house my whole plate of simple udon lol I would love to order from here again! Wish it was close for delivery! read more

Charm Thai Bisto was amazing in customer service and food. We called in an order for takeout and they accommodated multiple allergies for our group order with patients and understanding. The quality of the food was delicious and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this restaurant for gluten-free options. read more

I love this place. I live closer to another Thai place but I always come here. If you like spicy food I highly recommend the Wild Boar Basil and Basil Fried Rice. read more

Some of the best Thai food I have ever had 9/10. Perfect amount of sweet and heat with a rich finish and profile on the drunken noodles There is so much flavor profile with every bite read more

Charm Thai Bistro - Thai Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Food is delicious. We love their chicken pad Thai for a classic and the drunken noodles for a little more spice. Pick up promptly as the food is best when it's still very warm. There are a few small tables in the restaurant, but we love the take out. Staff is always so friendly when you stop in. read more

Favorite Thai Takeout in Wakefield. I order from here very regularly. It's a cute hole in the wall type place with excellent food. Service is always great - friendly and quick. Few of my favorite meals: Charm Thai Fried Rice, Pad Woonsen, Drunken Noodle, Red Chicken Curry, and Green Chicken Curry. Everything is fresh and flavorful, not overwhelming or bland and the portions are great - I usually get two meals out of it. They are not stingy with the protein either. The Thai Iced Tea is also made really well here. It's right on Main Street - when you can snag a parking spot right in front/on Main Street it's a dream, but there is a parking lot and (side) street parking right around the corner. They also do delivery if you prefer or need that. There is only one maybe two tables inside so it's definitely a takeout joint, not an eat-in kind of restaurant, but if you are craving Thai food and want something delicious, this is the place to go! read more

We ordered delivery. It was so delicious! I'm really happy to have discovered this gem. I highly recommend this lovely, locally owned business. read more

We ordered take out via DoorDash for pick up on a Friday night and it was the worst experience yet. It was my first time at Charm Thai Bistro and will probably be my last. I ordered at 5:30pm and received an email at 5:56pm that my order was ready for pick up-- It stated to skip the line and go straight to the pick up counter. It is a small place and they only allowed two customers in at a time which created a line outside in below 10 degrees weather. I waited nearly 30 minutes outside to finally go in to realize my order wasn't even at the pick up counter as it stated it was... I waited an additional 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge me INSIDE the restaurant. I was finally able to grab an employee's attention after she got off the phone and I was later informed my order JUST "came in," meanwhile I got the notification 50-55 minutes ago that my order was ready. Her response was "we are too busy." I get it, you're busy but I should have never gotten an alert saying my order was ready at 5:56pm if it really wasn't even after waiting 30 minutes outside and 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge me waiting at the front counter.. The employee insisted I wait and since I ordered through DoorDash it was much slower. Apparently the restaurant can only stall drivers but not customer pickups... Regardless, I should not have been told my order was ready if it really wasn't whether I am the driver or pick up customer. By this time it had been well OVER an hour since I got the alert saying my order was ready and she could not guarantee she was able to rush the order, so I insisted she cancel my order but she told me she couldn't... We came to the agreement that it'll take 10 additional minutes so I waited in the car to allow other customers to go in. She brought it out to my car in an additional 20 minutes. We ordered the following: -Massaman Curry $14.95 -Mango Fried Rice Dinner with White Rice $13.95 -Pad See-U Dinner with Crispy Chicken $13.95 -Tom Yum with Shrimp $5.00 -Thai Ice Tea $3.95 -Pad Thai Dinner with Crispy Chicken $13.95 When I got home there was a leak from the Massaman Curry dish that spilled all over the brown paper bag causing the bag to rip. The Thai tea also spilled all over the plastic bag as well. Their take out packaging needs improvement. We were really excited about this place after reading these reviews here on Yelp, but we were disappointed as the food was just okay and average. Our favorite dish we ordered was the Massaman Curry and of course that was the one affected. The Mango Fried Rice only came with 4 pieces of mango and the mangos were bad. The dish was interesting and we were not fans. The Pad See-U had no taste. We were a fan of the Tom Yum with Shrimp but just a tad bit salty for our liking. They were a bit stingy with the shrimp. The Thai ice tea was good but again, really poor packaging as it leaked all over the bag. Lastly, the Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken was super average. All the dishes that consisted of chicken didn't have any flavor. The chicken was super bland and dry as if they made the chicken a while ago in bulk and reheated it when a dish required it. Moral of the story, do not order from DoorDash as a pick up customer or expect to wait past your "order is ready," alert. Also, do not get your hopes up for this place because the food was super average. However, I do recommend the Massaman curry, Tom Yum, and Thai Ice Tea! There were some parking spots outside which were helpful. Overall, 2 out of 5 stars. This situation was handled so poorly and the food was okay. First and last time here. read more

I was craving a mean pad Thai. Though not recent, the Yelp reviews for this dish were great, stating that it is flavorful and came in a large portion. I typically order from another Thai place around the corner but I was feeling adventurous to try something new. We ordered online early on a Saturday to beat the rush and it was literally ready in 10 minutes. I was happy to see contactless pick up. Now, about the pad thai---I would agree with the first review about the flavor. Oftentimes pad Thai dishes can be clumpy and lack flavor, but it was a yummy, peanuty dish with accents of scallions and bean sprouts. I ordered the crispy chicken, which looks like chicken fingers sliced up and out on top, so that was weird. Though they tasted good, it didn't see to fit. I don't know what I was expecting, but it seemed like two different elements in one container. In terms of the portion, it was average. I'll get two meals out of it. Hubby ordered the mango curry and gave it 3.5 out of 5. He said the sauce was too thin and the chicken to vegetable ratio was poor. However, it had good flavor. We also ordered the spring rolls. They were just fine to me, but my husband liked that they weren't greasy. The inside was a bit too mushy to me. It came with a light dipping sauce that I wish was a little spicier. Overall, we'd give a 3.5 if we could. Good flavor, but just missing that little something to make the dishes cohesive. I'll try the regular chicken pad thai next time to see if that's what was missing. Give it a try! read more

My girlfriend and I just had a meal delivered. The food was very good. You need to pay close attention to the menu's Spicy logos, though. The single spicy-logo rangoons and the chicken wings were really good. The Drunken Noodle entree was a two-spicer. This one surpassed our spicy heat tolerance for sure. Great food, just make sure to keep that in mind when you order. read more

Ordered DoorDash for curry noodles, green curry, shrimp basil fried rice, drunken noodles, and gai ka prow, all very fresh and arrived in Reading (10mins drive) still really hot!! Everything was tasty, although my own personal preference, as a chef, would like to see a little more wok char flavor on the drunken noodles, and a thicker green curry sauce. This is our first time trying but will definitely order again. Thank you for the delicious takeout! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SPICY CRAB RANGOON! Also the spicy beef fried rice extra spicy. The pad Thai was good in the sense that it had a different type of crispy chicken the breading isn't too thick and rubbery like other places. My reviews are strict to the dishes I've tried so if you order the two dishes I recommend you won't regret it. Anything else is upto you! read more

I had a sudden craving for Pad Thai yesterday and realized I had never tried Charm Thai Bistro despite the fact they're relatively close by. I haven't found a truly delicious Pad Thai in ages so I was hopeful they would have a good one. Setting up delivery was easy. I only wanted the Pad Thai but they have a really varied and nicely priced menu. Plenty of options if you want a bigger meal. I went with the chicken Pad Thai. The delivery site said they would text when they delivered to ensure contact less delivery and it would take 45 to 50 minutes. It came much quicker (not a surprise really since they're down the street) and they called instead of texting so I definitely didn't miss the call. Very nice woman on the phone. The portion was huge. Probably the biggest portion of Pad Thai I've ever gotten. More than worth it for the low price of $12. I actually had 3 meals (well if you want to count the period between lunch and dinner as a meal, haha) out of it. It was done perfectly. Flavorful and not heavy but very light with nicely cooked chicken and just the right amount of other flavors. Delightful comes to mind when I think of the meal now. I'm definitely going to order again (maybe even this week!) and am interested in trying some of their other menu offerings. read more

The food is really good, this is now our go to restaurant for great Thai food. The staff is very friendly. The food is always hot and ready as promised read more

This is a thai curry which doesn't really have any curry left in it probably due to the overflowing veggies. Big nope for the red thai curry. read more

We got the Pad See-U, and the Massaman Curry with Tofu, and the Charming Dumpling - which is basically Peking Ravioli but served in their gorgeous curry, and all of it was terrific. read more

Delicious flavors my favorite takeaway food in Wakefield! Pad Thai and Cashew n' Green Bean are the best!

we moved to the north shore over a year ago, but discovered this gem through doordash recently. it is now our go-to place for thai food. our usual order is a beef pad see ew and a beef pad thai, with a shrimp tom yum soup on the side. their beef option is great, but we've only had meh experiences choosing seafood and crispy chicken as protein options. their shining star has to be the thai iced tea. it's honestly some of the best thai iced tea i've ever had. read more

If you like spicy food and want to lose weight like I am this place is like heaven. The food is outstanding and while I'm still dieting and losing weight I'm eating here 2 to 3 times a week it's so awesome to have a place like this to go to especially when you're dieting. read more

Got take out from here recently as I explore what Thai cuisine offerrings are available in the North Shore. Got pad thai with tofu as well as a crispy eggplant with panang curry. The flavors were crisp and on point with no overly sweet or sour notes. Ingredients used were very high quality and I appreciated their authentic approach to some simple dishes. I'll continue to order from here as well as visit to see what the atmosphere is like, but there is a lot on the menu that any thai-american would not hesitate twice to order. Next visit I plan to try their roasted Duck noodle soup and shrimp omlette over rice. read more

It's been a while since we came back. Our order was on time and accurate. We tried the Appetizer Combo and the Beef Pad Thai. The appetizer combo had wings, rolls, crab rangoon, shumai and thai ravioli. Everything was deep fried and lacked much taste. Everything but the wings looked and tasted like it was processed and frozen. Not good. The Pad Thai was very good but not enough reason to come back. read more

Another solid Thai restaurant in town and really nice staff (family and friends) running the kitchen and register. Ordered the Scallion Pancakes, Tofu Triangles, Veggie Dumpling, Udon Garlic, Pad See-U and Yellow Curry. Order was available quickly and food was very good. Some decent coupons are available with the paper menu as well. For those looking for delivery, they delivery within 3 miles for a $2 charge. While there are a couple of tables, this is primarily a take out and delivery restaurant. read more

We love Charm Thai Bistro! I think next time I will call the order in instead of ordering online - I requested "not too much spice" on my meal and I think it was mis-read. When it arrived it said "Spicy" on the lid, and it was! The rest of our order was tasty as always. read more

Everything I have ever experienced with Charm Thai Bistro has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff are so friendly- will remember us by name - and go above and beyond to be accommodating. I have a gluten allergy and they will call to clarify menu items and if something can't be made gluten free then they find alternatives to make sure I'm still able to try out their different menu items. I've never met staff who have been so willing to accommodate for a food allergy and it's been amazing. To top it all off their food is absolutely delicious, always cooked well with great flavor! They have a pretty expansive menu and never disappoint. I couldn't recommend it enough. read more

Reliably delicious Thai food. 100% recommend. My husband and I eat their food weekly.

What a disappointment! I live right near this restaurant, and heard good things about it. J ordered their pad thai tonight, and it was very good, but there was hardly any of it. I thought of calling door dash but it wasn't them, it is the restaurant. So, though the food is good, I feel ripped off. I will never order from them again. I hope they read this and look at what they are doing. I d S read more

1 hour and 15 mins for delivery is ridiculous when you live a mile away. Will probably go to other local joints like Taste of Siam that can deliver equivalent quality for most of my favorite dishes with much better delivery time. read more

I order from there a lot. I mainly order for pickup and they are insanely fast. It's ready like 10-15 minutes after I press order. I usually get the drunken noodles. It's very good. Sometimes I also get the basil fried rice. That's very good too. If I don't want spicy I get the pad thai dinner or the thai fried rice dinner. Both are really good. Sometimes I splurge and get the duck dishes like the Spicy Siam Duck. It's a bit expensive but worth it, it's so good. read more

I purchased the mango curry chicken lunch special. Very tasty, my only complaint is that it was skimpy for the amount of money that was charged. Service was good. Better to just take out, too small to dine in. read more

I was very impressed at the Charm Thai Bistro, the food was fresh, very friendly staff, walked my order to my vehicle , It was a great place to pick up food, I will definitely go back again, 5 stars for this place, hope to see you soon read more

We love this place! They are fast, so friendly, and the food is wonderful. So thankful we have a place like this in the neighborhood.

Got takeout wings and drunken noodle to share with my daughter. The wings smelled so bad like they had gone bad ages ago like rotten and just plain disgusting.My daughter almost bit into it but thank god my 4 year old has sense or she would've been extremely sick. It was so disgusting I had that smell stuck in my nose for a couple hours. I don't even wanna think what type of animal we were served. Negative stars if I could. DONT GO I WISH I WAS EXAGGERATING. read more

Charm hits on all the fronts that matter for take-out Thai. The people are super friendly on the phone, food was ready right on time, the quality was good and the price met expectations. We'll most certainly be ordering here next time. On to the food: the kids got spring rolls and pad thai, the pad thai was very good with distinct lime flavors and nutty, but subtle fish sauce. The highlight of the menu were the charm dumplings that were great on their own, but came swimming in an amazing thai curry sauce and had fried shallots on top. Just order these, you will thank me. My Gra Praw Gai (aka Ga Prao Gai) was spot on with the flavor and heat - i ordered it spicy. The lettuce wraps were not the favorite dish of the night, but the use of romaine was nice. Finally, the drunken noodles were solid, all ingredients were crisp/fresh and great flavors. I also liked that they didn't have to ask to include rice with the dishes that should have it, the rice was just there in the bag. Nice work guys, please keep it up. read more

Best Thai in the area. Fresh, delicious and really fast delivery. Great curries and stir fries. Recommend the Spicy Crab Rangoon, Curry Noodle and the Crying Tiger! read more
