    Pineapple rice
    Ashley C.

    I'm surprised this only has 3.5 stars on yelp for a good and affordable Thai option in Boston! All of our dishes were solid, and I was happy to see fair prices. The restaurant is pretty small with only 3-4 main dining tables, mostly take out. I also got a Thai iced tea which was good and they have unique sodas. Overall this was a solid spot with great papaya salad that actually had a small spicy kick as well, a dish I do not see prepared very authentically elsewhere. Definitely a spot to add to your routine!

    Thai Chicken wings

    Driven by a thousand times... stopped in as in mood for chicken satay... very good food,, prices very reasonable and look's excellent take out or delivery food spot... Ordered some apps and under 26 bucks total.

    Spicy Basil with tofu

    Did a take out order online on a Friday around 5:15pm. We ordered Coconut soup with shrimp, Pineapple fried rice and Spicy basil with tofu. The soup is a small portion with 2 shrimp. Overly salty, but also tasty with nice lemongrass and cilantro and mushrooms. The fried rice is a decent portion. Two pieces of broccoli, which is stingy, plenty of onions and baby corn. It's both sweet and spicy. The spicy basil with tofu is very tasty, but not a large dish. Next time I would add more veggies because onions and peppers and carrots are not enough. The tofu is good and plentiful, but the pieces are very large, especially compared to the smaller cut veggies. If the tofu was half the size, it would work better. The dish comes with jasmine rice which goes very well with it. The prices here are lower than the local competition which is a plus and the food was ready really quickly. It's a solid B option, nothing wrong with that!

    Restaurant seating on the inside

    This was a cute find on my rainy day exploring the Boston College neighborhood. Lots of eateries here for the studious. Despite being a cold rainy day, I was happy this place was available. On the small side compared to a restaurant but for a good reason. Small places tend to have the best quality food and I can say the expectations lived up. Got the Krapow Crispy Chicken on a bed of white rice and sweet and savory sauce with spiced stir fried veggies. This isn't a common Thai dish I see available in Thai restaurants but I'm glad my experimental choice worked and this was so savory and sauced. Had to eat it the moment this dish made out of the kitchen. Only one staff member was at the front and this place is tiny enough to service both diners and quick service takeouts. Highly recommended if you want some homely comfort Thai food in the Boston campus neighborhoods. And if Coconut Newton does well for a bigger space, I know they'll happily have more staff for their customers.

    Dirty shoyu ramen, not so good, not worth it even at a relatively below average price of $13.50, sadly.

    Very friendly service but just average foods. Had the Indonesian fried rice ($11.95, just ok as the fried egg was cold on very hot fried rice), scallion pancake ($5.95, just ok, could not see any scallions inside the pancake at all) and dirty shoyu ramen ($13.50, not so good, seems like MSG broth, the cha siu was not fatty and the ramen is like ones could be bought at HMart, meh). Perhaps we ordered the wrong stuff? Or it is another nothing special restaurant...

    Pad Thai
    Winter B.

    We ordered a variety of dishes from coconut Thai. Some we really liked. The pad Thai and pad see ew were great. The scallion pancakes were a little too thin and crispy, but if you like them that way then you would like these. I was impressed by all the indoor and outdoor seating they had. So if you wanted to dine in you could do that too. The owners were really friendly when I picked up my order and it was ready on time. They did forget one appetizer we ordered but it was no big deal and we easily got a refund after calling. Overall, it's an average Thai restaurant.

    Curry Puff - would recommend!

    I've been coming to this spot on and off for the past couple years with my wife and it definitely…read morehits the spot every time. Whether it's the noodle dishes, soups, or apps, they've all got their own individual vibes for the occasion/season. Most recently, we've had their skewers (which pair well with their house sauces), as well as their fried salmon and beef stew noodle soup. While they've all got their quirks, I'd say that everything would go well when paired with a drink - especially with how all the flavors and textures meld well with one another, and still are neither too overwhelming nor too heavy for what they are. Would come back again for sure!

    Service was friendly. Unfortunately, I really didn't like what I ordered…read more I got the Pla (fish) with vegetables, and it was too salty for me and didn't have another clear flavor in its favor. There wasn't a strong ginger or garlic essence like I'm used to in a Thai brown gravy. My friends seemed happy with their curries though...so maybe I just ordered wrong. On Sunday, they have a very strong takeout business, which also impacted the ambience. At one point there were like six people waiting in line at the entrance. In such a small establishment, it changes the vibe to have people hovering and getting impatient and clarifying orders, with the frequent entrance/exit of new patrons. Our table was closest to the entrance so we probably "felt" it more than other tables would have. Still, for the "mom's night out" space that we were cultivating, I would've preferred to pay more to go someplace that had less of a takeout vibe. Note: there is only one all-gender restroom and it is for customer use only. Free parking out front.

It was very busy but we were able to get a table for two within 5 min. The service was super slow. Took ~20 min for our server to take our order & another 40 min for our food to come. We noticed our server was the only server for all the tables, haha crazy! Here's what we ended up ordering: -roti (w/ potato curry sauce) -chicken wings (w/ spicy garlic sauce) -pad see ew -pla pad kun chai (fried cod fish fillet w/ lemongrass + Chinese celery) -Thai iced tea We tried the chicken wings, the roti, and Thai iced teas at the restaurant & ended up requesting for the rest of our food to go since we were on a time crunch. Thoughts: The pad see ew was delicious! We reheated it later that night & it was flavorful. I would definitely get this again. The chicken wings had good flavor but we found the chicken itself to be very dry inside. Made it difficult to enjoy. I loved the potato curry sauce that came with the roti. Simple but tasty dish. The pla pad kun chai was our least favorite dish we ordered. It didn't taste good at all after reheating. We're curious if we would've enjoyed this more if we ate it at the restaurant when it was fresh? The fish had a very fishy smell & didn't taste like it had been treated with lemon, vinegar, or both. We usually enjoy cod fish & lemongrass but this was a complete miss for us. Lastly, the Thai iced tea was okay. It was a bit too watery for us & we wished it could've been creamier. Overall, I would come back again to give Cha Yen another try. I did like the dishes we tried at the restaurant & perhaps the fish for example would've tasted better if had at the restaurant.

Bonus points for an extravagantly laminated menu that has pictures of every single dish rendered in uber-colorful detail. We got the: papaya salad with shrimp; chicken satay; crab fried rice; pad thai; and mango sticky rice. More than enough food to feed two people, including a little bit for leftovers the next day. The crab fried rice - please, please get this. I'm usually not a fried rice person, as my parents taught me long ago that rice is just filler and must be avoided at all costs at the buffet line, but their crab fried rice is stellar. Loaded with generous chunks of real crab and so flavorful, with the smokiness of the wok permeating through. I also usually skip the pad thai at any Thai restaurant but I loved this rendition, beautiful balance of sweet and salty, and with all the necessary accoutrements, like chopped peanuts and a squeeze of lime. I would say the chicken satay is maybe a skip but it comes with an incredible peanut sauce that I love to slather on top of everything. Mango sticky rice: eh, it's not the season for mango. The one that came with ours was definitely a bit anemic and limp. The warm sticky rice covered in condensed milk with the faintest tinge of pandan green was good enough to eat on its own. They're really busy so not the best place to sit and talk with your friends all evening. Also not a lot of street parking on a busy street. I suggest walking or taking the bus over. Need to order the fried fish next time. You know a Thai place is excellent when I'm lured away from my beloved green curry to try the other options.
