Such delicious and authentic thai food! The place is homey and full of people. All the tables were full and people were picking up delivery. Signs of a great spot. The food was very good and flavorful, with dishes I hadn't had before but I'll be looking out for them in the future. Particular favorites were: Som Tum Salad, Khua Kling Beef, Si Klong Prik Keang (ribs), Pla Rad Prik (fried fish), and the Pad See Ew. Mango sticky rice at the end was perfect to tie up our meal. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Made my night with a fresh, warm, flavorful pad Thai meal made upon my late arrival after I accidentally ordered too early before having to wait 2 hours to be seen by a doctor. Crab rangoons, shrimp pancake, gyoza, and the accompanying sauces also delicious. Very nice welcoming restaurant and look forward to trying again. read more

The time estimate offered for online pickup was grossly inaccurate. We had to wait half an hour after the promised time for our food and the staff was never honest about how much longer it would take. They kept saying it would just be a couple of minutes. Meanwhile the interior of the restaurant was crowded so there was no where to wait except outside in the rain. I understand some short delays, but I don't appreciate it the length of this delay or the dishonesty about when it would be ready. We will not be ordering here again. read more

Came back for a late lunch and showed up when they opened and I was the only one there. I knew I wanted to try their Khao Soi and closed the menu and placed it to the side to indicate I was ready. I am not sure why, but the server passed me 4x and was just unpacking new drink menus at the counter that was practically next to me and seemed to be avoiding eye contact and my wave. It took awhile for the server to come by and take my order - I felt ignored given I was the only customer there. The Khao soi was delicious, don't get me wrong, it was one of the best I've tried in MA. But the strange cold energy from the server made me feel uncomfortable so I asked for a to-go box and left. I normally love dining in at restaurants because I like my food hot and fresh, but not sure I'd dine in here again. read more

We frequent Bangkok (Melrose) a lot and when I heard they are opening a higher end sister restaurant, I had to try. While Bangkok serves some Pho, this location does not. The roti is fried and is similar to scallion pancake. The Indian- Malay version is more airy. The pork wonton noodle soup lacks flavor but ok if you like broth on the bland side. The real star is the Tom Yum seafood hot pot - perfect blend of hot and sour taste. Also a lot of seafood (shrimp, calamari, scallops). If you don't like spicy stir fry (drunken noodle), Kiai Tiaw Khua Kai is an alternative choice as the spicy dipping sauce is on the side. Easy one hour street parking and current offer is one free beverage if you write a review read more

Small restaurant and super busy on a Saturday. Wait staff were nice and all of the dishes had good flavor. Suggest reservations if you plan to sit down during a peak time. Dishes came out at very different times (20-30mins between different members of our party). read more

Food is great, tastes like real Thai food from Thailand. The service is also great, the restaurant is not big so if they busy sometimes can be loud. The price is fair not crazy expensive, the most important thing is we love the food, and Vietnamese coffee is delicious! read more

Excellent food. No website but you can order takeout through Toast. I ordered the chicken Kee Mao (drunken noodles) and it was phenomenal. The sauce was addicting, the noodles are wider than other places, and the vegetables (baby corn, basil, etc.) were perfect. I also got the Khao Soi, which was also excellent and also my first time having it. It is a coconut milk base with spices blended in and a kick of hot chili flakes in oil. Looking forward to my next order. read more

This was the first time trying this restaurant for lunch. We ordered Pad Thai which was the worst l have ever had. The food was mushy, little taste and tasted like it was old. I hope l do not get sick. read more

The Pad kee mao is good, This is the only place I know of in the area that prepares it using fresh peppercorns! Taste was very good. Unfortunately there was very little chicken. The moo ping is delicious and the sauce that comes with it which seems to be a mix of tamarind with fish sauce is delicious. The gra pow is decent - a lot of dark meat chicken. Flavor and heat were fine, just not my favorite execution. The Gyoza were good. If i get the kee mao again, i will order extra chicken. Convenient online ordering via the Toast app. read more

Thai Charoen Kitchen - Fresh peppercorns in the pad kee mao!!! Awesome!! - Thai Near Me - Winchester, Massachusetts

The restaurant is tiny, but that means the food was amazing! It tasted so authentic and it was quick and the service was so nice

We have only ordered takeout from this restaurant. We mainly order their soups and noodles. They are filling and not too salty. If you're not feeling like cooking then it is worth trying out this restaurant. read more

Finally, a great Thai place in the area! We enjoyed the pad kee mao (which, as noted in the menu has a kick), shrimp donuts, and the vermicelli bowl. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was attentive. I appeciated their attention to detail (crushed ice, nice decor)! read more

I just want to say welcome to our new neighbors Cha Roen Thai. I stopped by today and ordered the pork wonton soup and the delicious crispy rolls. They were both super flavorful! Cha Roen Thai is the sister restaurant to Kin Dee on Bedford St. in Lexington, MA. However, both restaurants have different menu options, and the Lexington restaurant is mostly takeout with only a few chairs. I am looking forward to trying other menu options in the future since it is difficult to find decent Thai food outside of Boston. My recommendation is to give both these restaurants a try. I do not think you will be disappointed. read more

Put our name in for a table and waited, only to be completely forgotten while the staff gave our table to another couple who had just walked in. When we asked what happened, they claimed it was 'reserved' -- which it definitely wasn't. Incredibly disorganized and frustrating. Terrible experience. read more

Excellent food in general, but top tier for Winchester which is overshadowed by nearby Woburn and Medford in its food scene. I'm not Thai but it feels authentic when you find a little bundle of Thai green peppercorns infusing the sauce. I also love that they have esarn sausage which is a regional dish that isn't on most Thai menus. It's a cute, cozy restaurant that also has great takeout and dine-in. read more

We are working our way through the menu and have yet to get a mediocre dish - all excellent. We recommend eating in. It's a nice space and good service. I suspect the takeout is good but believe that it tastes better there. Worth a drive. read more

Finally! We found the best Thai food in the area!... great place for take out and the food is delicious, flavors on spot.

Intricate flavorful dishes (with speedy service!). Try the Larb Gai Salad and the side of eggplants (softest, tastiest eggplant I've ever hard). Best restaurant in Winchester! read more

The food here is not your typical Thai. There is a wider range of flavors and styles, much of it a good deal lighter, fresher, and updated, compared to the usual heavy curries on many other Thai restaurants. The space is quiet, light, and intimate. The service is cordial and not rushed. I have enjoyed everything I have had here. Many dairy-free options - yay. I agree with all those 5-star reviews, although I reserve that rating for a very few spots. From me, 4 stars is an excellent rating. read more

great best thai in boston area, they need a liquor license or byob everything is good read more

Had Pad Thai for lunch: it was just ok. No flavor and poor quality chicken. Service was good but ambiance was not very good. On a cold day the constant opening of the door brought cold air into the very small space. Subsequently had take out and liked the salmon dish. The fish was fresh and spicy sauce read more

We did takeout! The crab Rangoons were the best we've ever had. You have to try them. All in all, great!

I'm so happy this place is here! The food was delicious, and it was a delightful little place. Excited to go back.
