If I could give more stars I would! Eddie is extremely genuine, knowledgeable, and kind. My family and I got the pad Thai, drunken noodles, volcano roll and the sushi platter for one. All were absolutely delicious! The pad Thai was the perfect spice level that I've been looking for, the sushi was well constructed, fresh and delicious. Eddie went out of his way to make a fresh batch of rice for our order for impressive quality. All the while being extremely genuine, great to talk to and clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the restaurant. The restaurant was clean, organized and set up for a great meal with your friends and family. Highly recommend this spot! Will definitely be my new spot! read more

I paid $5 extra on UberEats for early delivery, but the food came late. Also, ordered ramen, but when it arrived, the egg wasn't fully boiled, so I couldn't eat it in the ramen as intendedI read more

I want to warn all potential diners here, this is not an authentic Thai restaurant. My suspicion is this is a Thai restaurant that sold to a group of non- Thai cooks and owners. In fact, I felt like I was dining at an Indian version of Thai food. We came here when the restaurant was empty, and the service and food delivery was extremely slow. The menu looks amazing, but the food that came out definitely was not good. The beef rice dish I had disgusting quality of beef. I literally spit out five chunks of it and returned it the dish. Their rice is also terrible, was chewy and tasteless. Their Curry dish seems more appropriate for New Delhi than Bangkok. If you want good Thai food, stay away and go to Thai Connection on Elm. read more

Paid 25 for gaprow and received a joke size of rice and the gaprow itself . Never going back again .

Definitely tried the chicken with the fried rice. The staff is really nice but definitely the chicken

Food, good portions, fresh, savory, ... excellent! Service, excellent! Ambiance, clean, spacious and comfortable read more

Went in on a Sunday for lunch with a friend and they said they were only doing take out that day.. Nothing posted o their website.. Seemed to down sized foot print inside as well read more

This is a hidden gem. Eddie greeted me with a smile and was attentive from the start which is always refreshing. I asked for a recommendation and was not disappointed at all. The flavor and spice level were perfect. It's a small place that's very comfortable. The portion size was beyond what I expected. I highly recommend whether you're a local or a traveler like me. read more

Second time here. Do not know a lot about this cuisine. Waitress was one the sweetest kindest waitress I have had in a while.n I alone Vietnamese PHO, but wanted to try something different. We had the Beef PHO. Flavors were great very different than Vietnamese but delicious! Broth was heavenly. Spices out of this world. A taste I have not had before (cause I do not eat enough Thai ) GREAT Mai Tai. Could be a 5 but the beef was very tough. Could not chew it. read more

Excellent authentic Thai food . Great staff great food and drinks, a must whenever I'm in town ...

All I got was the build your own ramen bowl from here. FOR FIFTEEN DOLLARS. First bite in, the veggies were slightly cold (they're also just regular seasonal steamed veggies), broth is oily and has a saucy taste, steak is chewy and crappy, and the noodles are literally just instant ramen noodles. F*ckin disgraceful. I was praying it looked worse than it tasted but its looks matched the quality. I could have made this for 3 bucks at home, BETTER, or ordered from the actual authentic ramen place up the street for 2 bucks less. I gave this a go because I was on a time crunch and the other place was closing an hour earlier than here. I made a mistake and will NOT return. read more

Muse Thai Bistro - Thai Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I am a fan! My friends and I stopped by for lunch and had a great experience. Good food, cool drinks, awesome service. This small, cozy little Thai/Japanese restaurant is also pretty trendy. They serve bubble tea/smoothies and serve them in cute mason jars. Adding the boba or tapioca pearls to the top of the drinks make them look more aesthetic. The soft and chewy texture of their boba is spot on too. The Thai iced tea I ordered was a bit too sweet but it had a good taste overall. Next time I'll just be sure to ask them to make it slightly less sweet. Our waitress was really sweet because one of my friends was craving an avocado smoothie and she offered to make it for him even though it was not on the menu. She constantly checked on us to make sure we were satisfied with our drinks and asked if we wanted any of our drinks sweeter or if we wanted more creamer. The pad thai is pretty solid. Pad thai is usually a hit or miss at Thai restaurants but I judge a Thai restaurant by the quality of their pad thai and Muse's rendition is good enough for me. I enjoyed the flavors and I loved the spice level even more. Their menu states they can make it mild, medium or spicy but if you want it even spicier you can request it and they will make it spicier with fresh chili peppers. I'm kind of jealous of my friends who got the crispy chicken pad thai because the crispy chicken looked so goooood. All my friends were pretty satisfied with their dishes as well so I think we will all be coming back in the near future :) FYI they only serve Thai food during lunch but for dinner they serve both Thai and Japanese. read more

So unbelievably happy we stumbled upon this place. The first night we went in, we had a party of 9. There were only two individuals working so we did wait a little bit longer to get our food (and we were a big party) but they were still fabulous. The food was fantastic. Tasted great and plated nicely. The workers were incredibly sweet and genuine. We told them we would be back tomorrow as well. We showed up again and service didn't disappoint. Food came out even faster as they had another set of hands. It's not the biggest place but it fit out now party of 13 comfortably and allowed for many others to sit for a meal. I don't know when we will be back to this town but I know 100% that this will be my #1 choice for food when we do return! read more

Food (Massaman) was bland and vegetables not cooked through Service was poor at lunch. Waiter just disappeared into the back and did not return. Ambiance is not the best. It's in a run down strip mall, but the interior was clean and neat. read more

Muse is an interesting, quaint restaurant with a large menu and polite staff. I was a little surprised that the price - dining in for two (no alcohol, 2 rolls and 2 entree) was $60. Massive vegetarian menu, decent sushi with beautiful presentation and polite, accurate staff. Bathrooms were a little scary! read more

Ridiculous portioning. I ordered pad see ew and the crispy house duck special. This is what I got. A normally portioned pad see ew and a crispy duck for ants. The portioning of this restraunt is straight wack. I called back about the portioning and they said it was the normal portioning. At least give us some more broccoli. There is no way that this is the normal portioning compared to normal dine in. Super upsetting experience, dissatisfied and disappointed. Gave them one more chance but they know how to mess it up. 0/5 do not recommend as you will waste your money. Will not be coming back. Horrible customer service and portioning. read more

Tried to order sushi somewhere different. Got 4 rolls for $50+. The sushi is hardly rolled and thrown together. All 4 rolls taste the same and there is so much seaweed compared to the rest of the roll. Disappointing but noted to just keep going to Mint Bistro or other spots. Two stars because the lady on the phone was really delightful. read more

I enjoyed this place. We have passed it by multiple times and decided to stop in. It was full on our visit but the food still came out in a reasonable time. Here we go: Food We ordered a few things to share so we could see what we liked. Was surprised to see the extensive amount sushi they have on the menu. We got the Spicy Maki set so we could try the sushi. It was very good. Hard to taste the different fish but that is what I get for ordering basically the same flavor profiles. Ordered the drunken noodles so we could try the Thai food. It was ok. I expected it to be spicier or at least be offered a spice tray so I could do it myself. Will likely try something different on my next visit. The green tea cheesecake was a mistake. First I was disappointed in the fact that they sprinkled the powder on top of the cake. I was hoping it was baked in. Second the cake taste store bought. Third they put sprinkles on top. Come on now... All in all I liked the place. Will definitely make better food choices next time.

9/30/24 dinner at Muse Thai and Sushi, 581 Second Street, Manchester NH 03102; 603.647.5547 - Eddie tended to us for 1 hour; really cared if we liked the food; loved that we ate everything that we ordered; we talked of world travel; he said if we go to Thailand we must talk with him first. We had to tailor a few dishes and he easily complied; he was comfortable to be around, he's a very naturally charismatic & personable but let's talk food - this is the most authentic Thai food we've ever eaten; portions are fine, not overly greasy, sugary nor salty & spiced perfectly. We're going here whenever we return to Manchester. Please eat at this restaurant, I repeat, go to this restaurant. Eddie's been in the restaurant business for over 30 years and he'll serve, cook, check you in/out; he was taught to make sushi, other Japanese food, Thai food and Chinese food. Bravo, Divo! You ROCK!

Decent Thai food at the Siam Orchid (now Muse Thai Bistro). Stopped here for dinner on a quiet Monday night. I was the only diner in the restaurant. The open dining area has several tables, high tables, chairs and stools, a large flat panel TV (with CNN), and the cocktail bar (4-color column backlighting) changes colors constantly. There are some framed artwork on the walls with colorful paper decorations & small colored glass lights hanging from the ceiling. Some Asian pop music was also playing in the background. I started out with a small bowl of Chicken Coconut Soup ($2.95) which had coconut milk broth, mushroom, scallions & chicken was very sweet and steaming hot. A great start!! For dinner, I had the Pad Thai ($8.95 - 2 shrimp, chicken, egg, noodles, bean sprouts, & crushed peanuts) which had a lot of chicken, sprouts, & crushed peanuts dominating the noodles and the overall taste was decent. For dessert, I had the Fried Ice Cream ($3.50), which was vanilla ice cream coated in a sweet batter (already made) & topped with Redi-Whip, chocolate syrup, and a cherry. My waiter put the toppings on in the bar. The fried ice cream was okay, nothing spectacular. Overall, the service was very attentive (constant refills on house water), the food was decent, and the dining atmosphere was decorative and colorful (not over the top). read more

I ordered their Drunken Noodle dish via DoorDash...Great spice and warm when I received.. A little $$ for just the dish but I had a Groupon Gift gift card I had to use... read more

Placed an order with door dash. Delivery was great. Food is a 3. Pad Thai was bland and had very few bean sprouts and shrimp was small for the price. Additionally, I did not receive sauce for Gyoza Dumplings, missing fried egg for the Graprow. Also the portion of rice was small. Wish there was more quality control read more

Ugh. Worst Thai food I've ever had. People there were nice don't get me wrong, but pad Thai was dry, curry was runny and even rice tasted of chemicals. Yikes. Was in area but won't go again. Avoid read more

What was I thinking not trying this place for so long!? Read an article in the Hippo and decided to try it out. Glad I finally did. Great pad Thai and zesty crispy chicken. This will definitely be the spot I order Pad Thai. I like the pad Thai at Ubon Thai 2 Go but this one is a little better IMO. Daw Kun Thai off Brown Ave still wins for curry entrees. We ordered take out so can't rate the dining experience but our order was ready on time, food was great and service was friendly. My call got cut off and the woman called me back to finish placing my order. That's service! read more

Excellent meal. We are transplants from the west coast now living in Concord and came down to celebrate my son's birthday. I had the Kapow special with ground beef, my wife had spicy pepper boar chicken and our son the basil fried rice. Each of us enjoyed our entrees, which were big enough that we will definitely get a second meal. read more

The food here is pretty good. I went here for a few years as they once were the best Thai option in the area. The reason I stopped going here is because they often are listed as open, I'll call to place a take-out order, and no one would answer, even in the hours listed on their website. In the few last times they did answer and I placed an order, it was NEVER ready when I got there at the time they said. This happened one to many times and I stopped going. read more

After a drive thru the Kancamagus Highway my husband and I were craving Thaj Food before heading back to our hotel, so we decided to stop by Muse, it was one of several Thai spots open past 8:30. Upon arriving we were greeted, seated and given menus. The menu is a bit overwhelming, so many options which is great however takes some time to look over. After sitting for about 8 mins we were asked if we were ready, we asked for water, and some recommendations. We were asked if we knew what we wanted and reminded that they closed at 10:00! I looked at my phone and said "yes, we know, that's 40 mins from now, it's 9:10" I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken, 1 star, great dish, however would if liked more snap peas, only had three in total! My husband had the Red Curry with chicken, Thai Spicy, he said it lacked flavor, too bland compared to others he's had in the past, rice doesn't come with the meal, it was extra. I didn't taste it due to it being thai spicy. We also ordered a crunchy roll, which we both enjoyed. We really wanted to get the mango with sticky rice but felt if we ordered it we would've been reminded once again that they close at 10! Atmosphere is fine, food was good, service was less than average. Would we go again if we return to Manchester, no we would not. read more

After I wrote the first review (particularly regarding my feedback on their Pad Thai), the manager of Muse Thai Bistro actually contacted me to inform me that after learning about the issue they figured out what was wrong with their Pad Thai sauce. They apologized very sincerely and told me they have made changes to the dish and the vinegar taste issue has been taken care off! They went out of their way to call me to tell me this (the restaurant had my number from me having ordered takeouts in the past...lol) and invited me to come back to re-taste the dish again. I personally find how much they cared and made effort to fix the issue and reach out to even ONE customer REALLY INCREDIBLE SERVICE. Now the most important part: THE PAD THAI. Although I told myself I never would... I returned for more. We ordered Todmun (shrimp curry cake) and tofu Pad Thai. Shrimp cake was pretty good, but the Pad Thai.... absolutely delicious!!! The noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy, the dish had great tastes between all the ingredients, and even the tofu pieces were cooked perfectly. Both of us were incredibly happy with our meals. I'm so happy that the issue was resolved and I don't have to look for a new place to go for my Pad Thai craving :) can't wait to go back for more food! (Prob tonight for dinner hahhh). Also people who work there are still SO NICE! read more

The best sushi! Such a family friendly environment and great service. Every time we pass thru Manchester we stop in.

Hit and miss Thai Cuisine, minutes from downtown Manchester, NH. Located just off of exit 4, on South St. Siam Orchid is a little bit of an enigma. My experiences have varied so much that I would swear I was visiting different restaurants. I have been to this establishment probably a dozen different times, a good mix of lunch, midway between lunch, dinner and take out. During almost every dinner service the service is slower than desired and we wondered if the one waitress forgot about us. Ironically enough, lunch was just the opposite. Pick up is never ready when they say it is going to be, i believe this is strategic for patrons to visit the bar area where they are directed to pick up their take out order. I would recommend the Cozy Shrimp appetizer and the Drunken Noodles dish. The drunken noodles are better than any Thai restaurant I have ever been to. The Pad Thai, Tom Yum Soup, Pad See Eew, and other staple Thai dishes are above average and probably your best options for Thai dining in the Manchester, NH area. Atmosphere is conducive to couples and dates so not great for little kids, restaurant is small so I would not recommend for larger groups but they have accommodated before in the past. Wait service is a lot quicker at lunch and typically slow for dinner, so plan accordingly. Take out orders are a half of the size of in restaurant meals at the same price. Don't joke that you want anything 10-star spicy because they will deliver. read more

I've been here probably twenty times since I discovered this place, sometimes eating in and sometimes getting take-out, and everything is always delicious. The fresh rolls are one of my favorite foods in the world. But the service has been terrible the last couple of times I've been here. I've seen people walk out because the server never even noticed them and it's taking them way too long to get food out to the customers that do stay. And now they don't serve sushi during lunch hours, so I've witnessed more people walk out of the business for this reason. They really need to get their act together because this place used to be amazing and now it's just getting frustrating. read more

Food is amazing but slow as molasses. It's hard to keep going back. An hour for pickup with only a few items is ridiculous

There's not a whole lot of good Thai in NH, but Manchester's Muse is a good one. Though close to a favorite in nearby Lakorn, I found myself here because Lakorn isn't open Sundays. They were pretty busy and getting there early gave me tie to take in the place while I waited for my takeout. It was clean, traditional Thai music and decorations were found within and the owner clearly had some regulars who he made polite conversation with while rolling sushi. Whoever had taken my order made sure to repeat it back to me and made sure I knew the rolls I had ordered had shrimp in them as the order was mostly vegetarian. Another waitress was answering questions about the menu to some new customers so the service was top notch all around. The food itself was slightly above average, the veggie pad thai and veggie noodles could have used some more veggies and spice, but were tasty. The Siam Rolls, veggie rolls and fried tofu were all delicious. The prices were not bad either. All in all, it's a semi solid place for Thai, put over the top to 4 stars because of the great service. read more

This has been one of my favorite places for almost 20 years. I love the hot and crazy noodles, pad Thai (I like it spicy), pineapple fried rice is delicious, and omg zesty crispy chicken is it is this world amazing. I also live the chicken coconut soup and the Tom yum noodle soup. I swear I could eat there every day. Today I ordered my hot and crazy noodles extra spicy and it was spot on. I haven't tried the sushi, sushi is sushi, I'm obsessed with Thai food. Yes the service can be slow and dishes come out separately, but hey it was the same way at the top rated Chinese restaurant in ChinaTown in NYC. It is what it is, a sacrifice you make for amazing food. read more

Great thai food and reasonable prices! Loved the Pad thai, though I was expecting it to be more spicy. I'll have to ask for some heat next time. read more

What a gem! Today was my first time visiting this place and there were so many choices that my sister and I had a super difficult time choosing from their delightful menu of goodies. We had the tapas and they were very good and tasty! Service was great and unobtrusive. read more
