Thaitation is one of my favorite places. I love their food and they have great services and prices. I often call in my order and pick up my food. I am usually eating within 15-20 minutes of when I ordered which is very quick. I am not the most adventurous and I pretty much get the same things each time to I can attest to a few items on the menu being great. They have excellent pad thai, spring rolls, scallian pancakes and fried rice. I definitely recommend this place to all. read more

Great place for eating in or take-out! I've never had a bad dish. The pad thai is great and has HUGE portions. Easily split with a friend. I'm a big fan of their crispy pad thai (not on the menu, but just ask) and their summer rolls. I also happen to love their Fenway Salad. The veggies are fresh and the citrus vinagrette could be consumed by the gallon. Definitely a great lunch stop or a take-out for dinner! read more

Take out review Jade noodles - shockingly tasty Yellow curry - decent Basil fried rice - yum but spicy Traveling through Boston, it's easy to notice the high density of Thai restaurants. With a name like Thaitation, my expectations weren't set very high. Which could be why all their food was surprisingly good and tasty. All items were devoured among five people and the three dishes were more than enough. With quick delivery service, this might be one of the better meals of my stay in Boston. read more

Very happy to find some really good Thai options here in Boston. We started off with the crispy spring rolls and chicken satay. There are other reviews here that rave about the spring rolls - I don't deny that, but they are the kind of spring rolls that are heavily packed with a lot of meat. If you're into that, they're great. My personal preference is a lighter spring roll with cabbage, lettuce, and just a little bit of pork or chicken. The chicken satay was AMAZING and the portion was huge. Could be a small meal unto itself. My chicken pad see ew was really good. Unfortunately I can't say it's the best I've ever had, but it was really good. The broccoli and carrots were crunchy and fresh, but overall it was bland, there was no spice to it at all. Next time I'll make it a point to ask for it spicy. For what it's worth, I thought my leftovers tasted better the next day. My husband got the seafood pad thai. He says it was the perfect amount of spice, the amount and size of the seafood was great. We're still trying to find our favorite Thai food place since moving to Boston, so we'll definitely try a few more places before settling on which is the best, but overall - you'll have a good meal here. read more

I've been eating here since I moved to Boston and started my new job last September. I have heard that it used to be Brown Sugar (as many of these reviews will relate to) but since I moved here after the management change I can only speak a Thaitation as just Thaitation. I have an unusual advantage in that we order from Thaitation often for group meetings at work - and I get to do the ordering. Instead of going for a catering-style setup, I will order about 15 different entrees and everyone will take a little bit of everything. I feel lucky because I've been able to try so many of their wonderful dishes. EVERYONE in our group loves Thaitation. And that's saying something. We have vegetarians, carnivores, gluten-free people, and one girl who claims that she is the pickiest eater she knows. EVERYONE loves Thaitation. My favorites are the pad thai and the red curry. I tend to go for those when ordering Thai anyway, since they are my favorites and if I find good ones I will stick to them. The pad thai is so flavorful and not greasy (I actually have to order 3 of them just because people love it so much) and the red curry is pleasantly spicy and creamy at the same time. Red curry can be just wrong sometimes, but this I could drink out of a glass. Other than that, I cannot name one thing that was left over from any luncheon we had. Everything is a winner! I have also had the pleasure of dining in the restaurant a few times with my coworkers, when there isn't another luncheon coming up for a while and we are all craving some amazing Thai. The restaurant is warm and friendly with a brilliant yellow glow coming from the walls. The waitstaff is friendly and the service is fast, perfect for a mid-work break. I highly recommend going here. Oh, and order rice noodles with the red curry. You won't be sorry. Its like amazing red curry soup. read more

I moved here from Texas in July and have been searching for a good Thai place. This one is wonderful! The wait staff is attentive, friendly and very fast. He brought out two waters without me asking and the Thai tea was perfect. My friend and I ordered the Pad Thai and another beef dish (can't recall the name) and both were piping hot and tasted great! I asked for extra spicy and the food was made to order. For dessert we had the friend bananas, which tasted just like my grandma used to make (delicious.) The owner even held open the door for me. I recommend this place to anyone. read more

Most delicious Thai food I've had in Boston. It's located in an unassuming strip-mall building, and the ambiance is lackluster, but the pricing for the portions can't be beat. I've had both the Pad Thai and Pad See-Ew (both outstanding) and have frequently recommended it to friends. A must-try if you're in the Fenway neighborhood! read more

Fairly good place. The servers are very polite and professional. Really liked their service. However they do not have much in variety if you want the whole fish. Only salmon was available as a whole fish. Also did not like the red curry much. However the salads and the sauces were fantastic!! Overall Great presentation and taste but the variety of fish offered could definitely be improved. read more

Thaitation - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

It's not all that cheap, but boy is it delicious. In fact, it's some of my favorite Thai in the area. I've had plenty of dishes from here, but tend to go back to two - ok technically three... First the Chicken Basil (in the create your own section) is consistently yummy. It's packed with veggies and is great with a side of brown rice. Second (and third) is the traditional pad thai MIXED with the crispy pad thai. Yes, that's right, I said mixed. We like to order one of each and then put them both into a huge pot and stir them together. It's the perfect combination of sweet, savory, crispy and gooey. If you get one with chicken and one with shrimp, you have everything you can imagine. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots in the Fenway/Longwood area (although I'm sure it's just as great any time of day)! The food is delicious, and the portion sizes are ideal, rarely leaving you feeling guilty or gluttonous for cleaning your plate. As a vegetarian, I love the "Create a Gourmet Original" options, like sweet & sour tofu, or basil tofu. Even on a Friday at noon, they are extremely fast and efficient, and if there's a wait, it's never as long as you'd expect. Prices are very reasonable. Super-friendly staff. Highly recommended! read more

A few years ago I ordered from Thaitation based on the yelp reviews. I'm so glad I did!! There is only one other Thai place in Boston that rivals Thaitation and that's Brown Sugar....and apparently the chef at Thaitation was the chef at Brown Sugar for 13 years, so that explains that. I've eaten in once but order delivery regularly. Delivery is always on time or within reason, which I appreciate. The Old Lady Spicy with shrimp (my #1) Pineapple Cashew Shrimp, Fishermans's Madness, Drunken Noodle and Mango Fried Rice are among my favorites. Their soups, specifically the wonton are always a pleasant addition to my order and the honey glazed spareribs are delish. My only complaint is that I like really spicy food and most of the time it's not as spicy as I like it. I ask for it to be really, really, really spicy and sometimes it is but most times it's not. Maybe my tongue is dead from all the spice. I won't eat Thai elsewhere (unless it's Brown Sugar) because inevitably I will be disappointed. read more

I used to love Brown Sugar, so (like everyone else) when I heard that Thaitation was going to have the same chef, I was excited. However, I've been disappointed every time I've gotten their food. The only reason why my fiance and I eat here is because we're obsessed with Thai food and it's literally behind our building. I will say that the Curry Puffs are pretty delish, and not very common in the Boston area, so that's definitely a plus. I've gotten the fresh rolls several times, but they're not served with the usual plum sauce that other restaurants serve them with, so they're not my flavor. The crab rangoon was also pretty good. I've also ordered the Pad See Ew on several occasions, and it's very inconsistent. Sometimes it's pretty good, other times it's really bad, but never as good as Thai Dish. We've also tried a few of the curries and fried rices (once got no mango in the mango fried rice!), and, again, sometimes the food is ok, and other times it's really disappointing. I hate to give them a terrible review because everyone who works there is so nice, but to me, the food isn't really worth what you have to pay. Here's hoping that they'll rebuild Rod Dee 2 soon! read more

A little pricey and overcrowded when I went (the Groupon crowd I suppose) but the food was definitely good.. better than I expected. It's a little tiny restaurant in a residential neighborhood. It's a bit expensive without a coupon/groupon ($15-20 entree) but I'll be back anyway. My ratings: I shared the pad thai (7/10) and spicy chicken gapow (8/10), spicy wings (5/10) (weird sauce) and wonton soup (6/10) read more

The service here is excellent! As for the food, overall it was on par with what I was expecting for the restaurant. I also love that they accept level up! read more

When I heard that Brown Sugar had closed, I was incredibly sad-but decided to give Thaitation a try. The menu had a ton of choices and options which was good. The set-up of the restaurant remained exactly the same as Brown Sugar. Started with the Yummy Lettuce as an appetizer. Tasty, but I've had better. Then I had the Red Duck Curry and my friend had the Cashew Chicken. Red Curry Duck tends to be one of my favorite dishes in thai restaurants, but I was pretty disappointed. It still tasted good, but the curry sauce was watery and not very flavorful. The Cashew Chicken again tasty, but lacked a lot of authentic thai spice flavor. Overall, still wish it was Brown Sugar. The quality of the food is still decent, but not worth the price increase at all. read more

As a huge fan of Brown Sugar, I was very sad when I learned that it was going away. But this place is the same cook as Brown Sugar, and it is absolutely delicious. I've been here twice now, and I'm still surprised at the amount of food that you get. My first time, I had one of the duck dishes, and this second time, I ordered the Seafood Volcano. The Volcano was absolutely delicious, and had delicious seafood (enormous muscles and even some surprisingly tender squid) and veggies, in an incredible sauce. It's also served with a fun surprise. The service is incredibly polite and attentive, to the point that I never got the bottom of my tea. It feels like the servers don't come around frequently, but they are definitely checking up on you. It came to around $50 for an appetizer, two entrees, and tea for two, so it's a bit more than I would spend on an average night. However, it's a great atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. Highly recommended. read more

My girlfriend and I probably eat at Thaitation at least once a week because we love the food, service, location, and ambiance. We've eaten at a few other Thai places in the area, but I think by now we've settled on coming here exclusively. We always order the Karee Puff appetizer which is only listed on the dinner menu but they are always willing to make it for lunch if you ask. Takeout is great, too. Usually not crowded (1 or two other tables), especially outside of peak lunch/dinner hours, but we've been twice and seen large (15+) groups reserve the whole place, so I think they're doing ok. read more

It have beautiful music and yummy curry and the rice noddle is very yummy too. I feel really relax when l eat in this restaurant, also I really like this restaurant. read more

Ate here with my boss as a celebration for finishing my internship. There's a pretty good selection and the prices aren't too bad for being in Boston. The ambience is nice, typical Thai restaurant, which is comforting. It's also very clean and classic. I got coconut water, which has slivers of coconut inside and tasted fresh, which is a plus. I got drunken noodles, which were spicier than I've had from other Thai restaurants, but it was pretty good quality. The shrimp dumplings are good as well - a decent-sized appetizer. I don't remember what my boss ordered, but she finished the plate so I know it was a good choice. All in all, decent Thai food - I'd go here again if I were in the area, but I wouldn't go completely out of my way for it. read more

Stopped in here for lunch with some of the guys from work. The place is small with a number of tables with a tastefully decorated interior. The service was prompt and friendly. To start we had the spring rolls which were really good. The appetizer portion was also pretty large and was more than enough for the 3 of us. For my meal I had the pad thai. There's was pretty good and the portion was plenty big although I did manage to finish it. Definitely worth a return visit. read more

I was really excited to try this place -- my co-workers had said this was their go-to place for Thai in Boston and it's very close to my apartment. I got the red curry with chicken (plus brown rice, which I had to order separately) and my husband got the crispy pad thai. Both dishes were underwhelming, not terrible. I'd say a solid 4 based on a -10 to 10 scale. The service was fine. I'm sorry to say: This place is nothing special. For our Thai fix, we'll be going around the block to Rod Dee Thai -- the food is better and cheaper! read more

A OK but better than most Thai in Boston- love the number of chili pastes they set on the table per request.

I am sad that I have to create this bad review since I have been faithful customer of Thaitation for several months but when I found an insect in my food last week I can no longer remain a customer. read more

Thaitation - Bug found in my meal from Thaitation. - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I had lunch here with a couple of friends - one of whom is an old friend of the owner, so maybe I can't be totally objective...but... The food is outstanding. I've eaten take-out here before during marathon code-fix sessions a few years ago and the food is still just as good. It might have had a different name then, not sure. The Drunken Noodle Chicken is delicious, and for around $9 is quite a value. I definitely recommend this place; its a short walk from Fenway in a nice, old neighborhood setting. The food is hot, spicy and tasty and the service is great. read more

This place may actually have the best pad thai I've ever eaten - sweet, but not too sweet, sour, salty, with plenty of fresh, crunchy accoutrements. But everything else I ever ordered on their well-priced lunch menu seemed undercooked: the winter squash in the curry is too crunchy, the flavors in almost everything still taste unmarried, the whole deal feels like it might be better by dinner time. Maybe I should have stuck to the pad thai, but instead, I just stopped going. read more

Nice restaurant but very average Thai food in my opinion. The flavor just isn't as good as some other spots (like Rod Dee), and it seems like they use the same sauce for a lot of their noodle dishes. Nonetheless it's a safe choice if you want a sit down Thai meal in the Fenway area. read more

Thaitation - Mhee Thai - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I am thankful to reviewers of Yelp because we had chosen this place only based on your rating. And I have to agree, this is a good place to dine at. Clean and spacious. Menu is long enough for you to spend few minutes until you decide. We liked the food, we liked the service, what else to ask for? read more

What an amazing place. They use the freshest of ingredients and season just right. Service is excellent! They don't make curry without coconut milk, but when I mentioned it the owner/chef made me a special batch of Kaeng Pa (Jungle curry). This is an absolute must whenever your near Fenway. read more

My boyfriend won't eat anywhere else. Its like crack cocaine for engineering students. I don't mind because it is delicious, and the staff is the most friendly staff in the Fenway area. The portions are big and we always have to roll ourselves out. Yum, this place is great. read more

Went here with my girlfriends for dinner one night, and we were all happy with what we got. There wasn't a wait for seating (we were the on a Saturday ~7:30) and the waiters were smiley and helpful. I got the chicken with cashew nuts, which was enormous and served in a hollowed out pineapple. I tried a bite of my sisters' pad thai, which was also really tasty! The sticky rice was good but I make better - ;) The prices were average. I think we spent around $20/person. I would definitely go back. read more

So happy I went back!!! Food was wonderful and service not only pleasant but efficient. So CLEAN! I would have given 6 stars but the wine list needs to be updated and include a wider selection. Will be our go to before games in the future! read more

I ordered delivery from this place and I have to say that the yellow curry is amazing. The beef was nice and soft, the vegetables were cooked but still crispy, and the pineapples were sweet. The only thing is that I wish the curry were spicier. I had already ordered hot and spicy, it just wasn't spicy enough for my preference. Aside from that, this might be my new go to for delivery Thai food! read more

I've wanted to write a review about this place for a while. Thaitation is right near my work, which is a real problem because I order there so often. The owners and staff are very friendly and really know their stuff. They have all the Thai stand-bys and really prepare them well. I usually get the fried chicken pad thai for lunch and it is the perfect portion and has never been a disappointment. They also have limited outdoor seating in the summer which I personally love. read more

Excellent Thai food! Really great and happened to catch a seat outside with great weather, too! Service was prompt and courteous. Loved it. read more

Thaitation - Our view while eating yummy Thai! - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We ordered lunch today and got it delivered. Overall, not impressed. Their delivery was early, which is nice. I don't know if I'd be ordering again though. We ordered the fried chicken pad thai, veggie pad thai, and a wonton soup. The veggie pad thai had some steamed chicken in it even though it was supposed to be just tofu. 1/3 of the veggie pad thai was bean sprouts, they weren't sautéed with the noodles. I didn't want to bother with calling about the veggie noodles so I just had to pick it out. The fried chicken pad thai was very salty. The wonton soup tasted good, but only came with two small wontons. Overall, the taste was just boring. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't horrible. There wasn't any wow factor to the meal that would make me interested in eating here again. read more

Very nice Thai restaurant in a quite neighborhood. Liked it from the beginning - they brought chilly fish sauce with the food. This is exactly how they serve food in Thailand. Food is really good - spicy and flavorful, as it should be. Very friendly staff. Definitely will come again! read more

See all

Yum! I love Thai food so I can't help but be a bit biased. This place was sort of difficult to find, but my companion had been here before so he led our party of 4. We requested to sit outside because the weather was lovely. A few of us were sick, so we couldn't really share food. I had the drunken noodles, which were good and not too greasy. My companion had some sort of noodle soup dish, which was yummy too. Anyway, just go. They have all the typical Thai dishes and they seem pretty authentic (though I've never had ACTUAL authentic, it's comparable to the best Thai places I've previously visited). read more

A small restaurant in the Fenway area, very hidden from the hustle and bustle of Fenway Park's baseball atmosphere. Came with some friends to eat some nice hot food, and that's what we got. We ordered the fried chicken drunken noodles, Tom yum soup, and duck fried rice. Very fresh and well cooked vegetables, good amount of meat, and good shareable portions. Staff were very accommodating and smiled a lot! It'd be nice if they had more traffic! read more

Visiting MFA and took yelp's advice to try this out. Love the menu selection and the prices. We had the papaya salad and tofu rama. Great portion. Thai iced tea wasn't sickly sweet. All that adds up to a strong "like". What pushed Thaitation up to the fifth star was the service! read more

We had chicken Satay, green papaya salad, and mango chicken curry. The Satay was great and very flavorful. I asked for the papaya salad not to be very spicy, but I had to chug glasses of water while eating it. (I don't have the highest spice tolerance and spice levels are so subjective that I don't hold this against the restaurant, but I was sad that I couldn't fully enjoy the salad). From what I could tell besides the spiciness, it wasn't the best green papaya salad I've had but it was decent. Then came the curry, and oh what a curry it was! The spices and the creaminess of the coconut milk were perfectly balanced, and the sweetness of the mango added a luscious, unexpected flavor that made the dish standout from all the other curries I've had. GO here. Get Curry. Be happy. read more
