I like Nisa's Thai fairly well. We eat here infrequently, but have never had a bad experience. Solid Thai food. The restaurant is usually pretty quiet. They do a lot of take out, but it definitely has a sit-down atmosphere. The table service is good. They have some good beers - plus points for having cloud candy. The only bad experience I've had was the time I came in hoping to eat and I waited more than 5 minutes and no one came out to the desk! It must have been a busy take out night. Nisa's is in downtown Canton. They have street parking, but most nights there are spots to park. read more

Nisa's Thai - Thai Near Me - Canton, Massachusetts

Small, clean space on the main drag with no parking and tables close together. Typical Thai menu. Based on another Yelper's intel, no longer owned by Nisa. A recent Yelp review gave high marks for the food quality but said the portions were small. On my visit I experienced the opposite for the most part. -- Tom Yum Soup: My wife's dish, so I didn't try. Looked much more thick and orange than the classic version. My wife said it didn't have much flavor. -- Golden Triangles (Samosas): Their miniature take on the Indian specialty had more flavor in one bite (potatoes, carrots, peas, and onion, sauce, spices) than everything else I had put together, but a little odd in a size not much bigger than a Chicklet. Zesty dipping sauce too. -- Scallion Pancake: Pretty ho hum and a little dry. Standard dipping sauce. -- Chili Wings: Plenty of glistening sauce, plenty of temperature heat, but no spice heat. Semi crisp and moist on the flats, very crisp and very dry on the drums. -- Pad Thai: More ho hum but near-dry in a good way. Too many versions of this dish are too sweet and too wet. This didn't have much of anything flavorwise. Shrimp on top nicely cooked. And a full bowl. -- Tofu Royal: Fresh vegetables, nicely cooked, low on flavor. -- Eggplant Delight: Fresh vegetables, nicely cooked, low on flavor (and this is flagged on the menu as very spicy). -- Chicken Krapow: My "barometer" dish to try on my first visit to any Thai restaurant brought another full bowl, lots of crumbled chicken, mostly on the dry side, with basil presence but no basil flavor, and no spice (and this is flagged on the menu as very spicy). All of the dishes would be fine if served in a typical American health food cafe. I love Thai food, but I never really got the sense I was eating Thai food. Just generic stir fry. Service was very minimal for a sit-down place. Served by the hostess who did double duty. Luckily we didn't need water refills, thanks spice and flavor being AWOL. read more

This restaurant has been under new ownership for at least a year, and it is now even better (and the staff is both kind and wonderful). The Tod mun is superb--not too greasy, and the chicken ka pow is very good, and also was not greasy when I ordered it (PLENTY of chilies!). Red mountain is also very delicious, and similar to memories of meals in Bangkok. Very delicious Pad Thai (noodles were fresh, sauce was like the Pad Thai one could get "in the old days" (when Thai restaurants were indeed owned and run by Thai immigrants--it seems that now many "American" restaurants and chains purport to have Pad Thai, but it is NOT the same!). I have also ordered the basil Pad Thai to go, along with Tod Mun, and it was equally excellent. They serve beer and wine, and although it is small, the atmosphere is clean and pleasant, and conducive to having a Signha. The new management is a very welcome upgrade to a restaurant that already had been quite good under Nisa. read more

Was craving Thai food and decided to stop by Nisa's Thai for dinner. Every single dish hit the spot and the food here was flavorful fresh and so satisfying. TOM KHA GAI This soup was heavenly. The broth was rich creamy and full of coconut flavor with the perfect balance of lemongrass ginger and lime. The chicken was tender and the mushrooms soaked up all that delicious broth. Warm comforting and just perfect to start the meal. SHRIMP SUMMER ROLLS So fresh and tightly rolled with shrimp vermicelli lettuce herbs and veggies. Every bite was crunchy and clean and dipped into their peanut sauce made it even better. Loved how generous the filling was and how refreshing this tasted. CRAB RANGOON Crispy golden and packed with creamy flavorful crab filling. No greasy taste just a perfect crunchy bite with that sweet dipping sauce. These were gone fast. THAI WINGS Crispy on the outside juicy on the inside with a sweet savory sauce that coated every wing. The flavor was bold and addictive. Absolutely delicious and such a great appetizer to share. PAD KEE MAO One of my favorite dishes of the night. Chewy wide rice noodles tossed with peppers onions basil and chilis. Every bite was saucy spicy and full of flavor. Loved how veggie forward it was with the perfect amount of heat. NISA'S PAD THAI A delicious twist on traditional pad Thai. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the flavors were balanced with the right amount of sweetness tang and crunch. Fresh herbs peanuts and lime made every bite pop. So yummy. YELLOW CURRY This curry was smooth creamy and packed with flavor. Warm spices sweet coconut and tender veggies with your protein of choice. Poured over rice it was comfort in a bowl. So good. CHICKEN PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE This was outstanding. The rice was fluffy and loaded with chicken pineapple cashews veggies and curry powder that tied everything together. Sweet savory aromatic and just delicious. The portion was huge too. Everything we ordered was fresh flavorful and well prepared. Portions were generous service was quick and the food was consistently delicious. Absolutely loved our dinner at Nisa's Thai and highly recommend if you are craving great Thai food! read more

Ive gotten take out from here several times, and it never disappoints. The portions are huge and the food is so fresh and flavorful. My favorite is the chicken pad thai - yes im basic, but it is so good! I have never dined in here, but would love to come back to try that one day! read more

Stumbled upon this place for lunch after the place we wanted to try was closed. It's a small cozy Thai place with a handful of tables. We had the spicy basil pad Thai with crispy chicken and the pork pad kee mao. The pad Thai was rich and flavorful, one of the better ones I had. The crispy chicken was fried chicken cutlets that were nice and moist. The kee mao was pretty bland and didn't have much spice or basil taste. Portion sizes were decent. I think they only serve dinner size portions on weekends as it was lunch time and we were charged dinner price. read more

We had an impromptu lunch getaway at Nisa's and shared a yummy summer roll then my husband got a delicious mango curry and I got a new noodle dish I'd never had before. My dish's flavors were mild so I scooped some of the curry into the noodles. We had some red wine that tasted a little vinegary like maybe the bottle was open too long but it was fine. read more

Solid Thai food. I ordered massaman and panang curry and fresh rolls which were all delicious.

Only good things to say about this restaurant. Delicious food, wonderful service, very clean...

The food is always delicious and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Best Thai food around!

Love this place! The pad Thai is delicious, girls at the host station are always friendly.

The food was fabulous! The crab Rangoon has the thinnest, crispiest outside and yummy filling. Wonderful flavors and veggies in the chicken yellow curry and the brown rice was delicious. Nisa retired and these are the new owners. I highly recommend checking it out because you'll become a regular. Enjoy! read more

Food is always hot, fresh and delish! Very pleasant staff and always ready on time with take out too.

The chicken ka pow was overall good but slightly oily for my personal taste. My bf got the crispy chicken curry and that was delicious! The chicken was super crispy on the outside and tender/juicy on the inside. The thai tea was really nice and perfectly balanced. Service was also great! read more

Food here is incredible. We often order from this place for office lunches. The owner (or woman at counter) is amazing. She's kind and I wish I could stay and talk with her for hours. The food is absolutely delicious. Portion size is a bit small but it could be that it is so good that I just want more. Every time I eat here I can't wait to go back. "Mikey" can't wait to come back. read more

Nisa's always comes through with good food. we always get takeout and the process is easy and fast. The menu is varied enough for anyone. Green beans with garlic is yummy. So too the egg rolls and spring rolls. read more

Nisa's is my go-to spot for Thai in the Canton area. I have come here many times with my boyfriend and his family for take-out and we've always enjoyed what we've gotten. We've had a variety of food including the Thai rolls, scallion pancakes, and summer rolls from the appetizers, the tofu and veggie delight and some chicken dishes from entrees, pad see yoo and spicy udon from the noodles, and the fried rice with crispy chicken. I love the summer rolls and the peanut sauce on the side, and pad see yoo is always a favorite. We've never had to wait too long to pick up the food, and it's always hot when we get home. The summer rolls dry up a bit so aren't great for leftovers but everything else is in my opinion (sauces don't congeal or anything like I've had happen at other places). The owner is also super nice! read more

The food is quite good though the portions are a little small. Service was slow last time. I didn't care for the TV showing a news station. Neutral music would be much better. read more

We've only gotten take out but the Chicken Pad Thai is really great! And I love their crab rangoons. They also do a great job of making slits in the take out containers for the crab rangoons so they don't get soggy and they stay nice and crispy. Which is awesome. Only thing they could change is the channel on their TV when you walk in. It's always set to a very politically charged network (Newsmax, Fox News, etc) and I know that can be a turn off for a lot of people. It's better for them to pick something neutral like a sitcom or game show. read more

They never get the order correct with pickup ever. Always an issue. Food is bland. Suburban Thai Food. read more

The Pad Thai was some of the best I've had! I've found that good pad thai is really hard to find, but they make it just right. I'm not sure how to explain it other than it's almost gooey. Many places make it too dry. The noodles also have a perfect consistency, whereas at other places they often seem overcooked. It has a nice peanut flavor and is not overrun by bean sprouts. The Pad Kee Mao was very good too, though I thought the serving size was a little small in comparison to other Thai places. I liked the Thai rolls. Golden triangles were just ok, would probably pass on these next time. Great service too! read more

The wait times are unusually long. They claim food will be ready in 35mins once the order is placed and and it almost never is. There is a minimum of atleast an additional 20mins. The person at the register is wearing the mask just for the sake of, nose and mouth are uncovered. Several people are waiting in close proximity to pick up their orders with/without masks. (And each time an order came out for pickup, she kept asking me for my name on the order) I just didn't think safety measures are observed, and sadly have to deduct a few stars. The food is still great, and if you aren't too concerned about safety in the middle of a pandemic, this is a place to go for some great Thai food. read more

I ordered from here through Grub Hub last night. Their menu is extensive and they stay open a bit later than a number of the other restaurants in the area. I was really looking forward to some spicy food but I wasn't in a place where I could eat a curry or a stir fry over white rice without making a mess. As a result, I ordered their tom yum fried rice, which was labeled as extra spicy on their menu. Sadly, while it was very tasty, it had no heat whatsoever. Maybe this is an artifact of being one of their last orders of the evening, but I was disappointed nonetheless. read more

Excellent food, had ka pow, chicken satay, drunken noodle, papaya salad and mango sticky rice. all very good. My fiancé is from Thailand and is very picky, always looking for authentic "street food" which is impossible to find but these dishes were very good. Good service. read more

We think it's the best Thai food in the area. We go out of our way to do their take out. Thai rolls and sauce are the best.

Delicious! I've picked up take-out from Nisa's Thai a few times now during the pandemic. I called to place my order. The food is always ready on time and pick up is very quick. Also the order is always correct, and the food is hot and delicious! Last time i got the chicken pad thai, veggie summer rolls, and veggie Thai rolls. Portion size was enough for two people to share. Everything was very tasty and well prepared. Highly recommend! read more

The food was delicious - first and foremost. Above that, when we saw that an item from the website menu wasn't available to order on the delivery menu, we called and Nisa was super accomodating. We got the food we hoped for and didn't have to deal with the sorrow of unmet food cravings. Excited to live to order from them again. read more

Fine Thai restaurant choice and would return. Enjoyed the Steamed Dumplings, Thai Rolls, Spicy Basil Pad Thai, Nisa's Salad, Yellow Curry with Tofu, and Basil Fried Rice. Can recommend all, especially the Thai Rolls and the Spicy Basil Pad Thai. See pics Clean, tidy and cozy restaurant. Owners on premises, which always helps. Good value by my NY standards. Tip: Don't miss the Thai Iced Tea, perfect complement to spicy Thai. Will try the Coconut Ice Cream next time.

I went here for a quick dinner recently. I ordered the chicken curry puffs as an appetizer and Nisa's pad thai. The chicken curry puffs were really good although I wish there was a bit more chicken. The pad thai came with crispy chicken. The chicken was not too dry and still crispy. Both dishes were delicious. This is a nice hidden gem in Canton! read more

The best Thai food in the Boston area. Quality ingredients, not overly sweetened, and they don't skimp on the more expensive parts of the dish. Good value too. I drive 1.5 hours each way to eat there. read more

Yuck! Ordered delivery - shrimp summer roll was raw. Chicken dish was stale AND raw. Beef was chewy.

Came here for lunch, the place was not to full. The lady was nice and seat us right away. The Thai rolls were okay. I have better. The basil pad Thai was good, but small in portion. After, the final bites, the sauce was overbearing. The Thai ice was okay. It was pretty pricy, my sister Bill came to $18.10 and mines came to $27.60. All we had was 2 plates, 2 drinks and 1 order of Thai rolls. It's just pricy for okay food with small portions. I won't came back. read more

After a long day of driving around the MIT/Fenway area, I was run down and ready for some sort of decent meal. After a quick search, we settled on Nisa's. We found a parking spot on the main street within a few storefronts of the restaurant. When we arrived, we were greeted by Nisa. She was preparing a large set of take-out trays for a graduation party. We were seated and were able to order promptly. Their wine selection was decent. We got an appetizer (spring rolls) and two entrees. All the food was quite good. I struggled a bit to finish mine, but as we were flying home the next day and would have no time for leftovers, I was incentivized. Maybe we just happened by on a 'good' night, but we really enjoyed the dinner. If I lived in the area, I would definitely return. read more

Leave your politics to yourself. No one wants to know your ill-gotten opinions. The good is ok... the portions are terrible.
