Not bad but no condiments being served. Could use some chili oil or sriracha. It's flavorful but bean sprout is served raw which can be a lil underwhelming. read more

Thaitation - Pad Thai Country Style Dinner - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

*this was a DoorDash order* My fave Thai place was not delivering today so I decided to give this place a try. Khao soi is my go to at Thai places that offer it. Here it was bland & had an interesting ratio of fried noodles vs. rice noodles. It was like 75% fried and 25% rice. It wasn't terrible - but I was incredibly stoned (which is the best seasoning) & thought it was blah read more

College Thai food. Not even close to authentic. The food is edible and maybe good for people with more bland tastes, but I wouldn't recommend. read more

Thaitation - Spicy Eggplant Dinner (not spicy and the flavor was only soy sauce) Panang Curry Dinner (ok flavor but they put chickpeas in it, why?) - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I love Thaitation food, my favorite pick is Bangkok fried rice but their pineapple fried rice is really good too. Crispy pad thai was good. I love how they give the lid with a small hole on top to make sure the chicken stays crispy on its way to get delivered. I like their tom kha (the white soup in the picture) but not a huge fan of their tom yum soup. Just a personal taste, nothing wrong with the soup! Overall, love love their food! Definitely recommend. read more

I came across this place by chance and ate here with a friend for dinner. We ordered thai ice teas, cozy shrimp appetizer, panang ribs, and caramelized salmon noodle. The panang ribs were very tender and fell off the bone easily. The salmon was also pretty good, though not my favorite. We thoroughly enjoyed eating the curries with rice. I personally thought the spice levels on the menu were not reflective of the actual dishes as they were more sweet than spicy, but nonetheless still tasty (good for those who have a lower spice tolerance!). I would come back here again for Thai food cravings. read more

I was thrilled to find Thaitation near my hotel in Boston thanks to my friendly east coast yelpers. I was flying solo and had a full day planned out and appreciated their prompt service. When they let me substitute scallops for shrimp on the lunch special menu I knew that I was in for a treat. The meal was loaded with vegetables like eggplant and peppers and served in a sweet red curry that gave it a well balanced flavor. In traditional style, it came with a little salad, steamed rice and some fried spring rolls. The dish could have been a lot spicier, however chiles are available on request and I loaded my plate with them! would definitely return to Thaitation if I make it back to Boston (in the springtime). read more

Ordered the Salmon Choo Chee Curry. Was very excited to try this dish based on the description. The curry sauce had a nice flavor, but unfortunately the salmon's texture was awful (not flaky or tender at all; it kind of fell apart to mush in my mouth, as if it had been frozen, thawed, and refrozen). The salmon also tasted much more fishy than it should have. I regularly eat salmon, often from Thai restaurants, and am very familiar with how it typically tastes. Even the white jasmine rice that came with the dish was over cooked and too soft. Overall, pretty disappointed with this experience, especially given the hefty $23 price tag for a sub-par dish. Will not be returning here. read more

I was in Thaitation recently and if I had to have a headline for my review it would be "Very Tasty Thai". I do not live in the area, but my daughter does, and I visited Thaitation with her. My impression is that Thaitation is reliably good. This restaurant is her go to Thai place ... so it must be. On our visit, we had three different apps and loved them all. I ordered The Drunk Noodle dish that was supposed to be spicey and it WAS ... I could not finish the whole thing and my head was sweating! Thaitation featured fresh quality ingredients. The service was better than average. The restaurant was clean. I would be happy to go back. read more

Solid place, but probably suffers because of its vicinity to rod dee thai 2, a cheaper version of equally delicious food. But if you want a sit down spot, this may be a better option. The first time I came I thought their drunken noodle was terrible, but it turns out this is just a general Boston issue. However, I came back for their pad see ew, which was actually really good - saucier than the rod dee thai pad see ew, but I actually prefer this one. The boyfriend had the chicken pad thai, which was also pretty good. Overall solid, pricier than Rod Dee, but is a better sit down option. read more

Thaitation - Pork pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

A great option for Thai in the Fenway area. Considering the lack of affordable Asian restaurants in the neighborhood I have to say their Pad-See-Ew was just as good as many I've had elsewhere in Boston. I also noticed the restaurant had lot of diners eating in rather than the more common take-out orders at other Thai restaurants. The staff was super attentive with all guests and orders came out pretty fast. read more

One of few gems in the Fenway area which is (imo) a food desert when it comes to food, unless your diet solely consists of beers, burgers, pizza, and overpriced half-baked fusion. Not a fancy place, but damn is it packed with flavor. As someone who's lived near Thaitown LA and been to the likes of Jitlada (iykyk), this place comes pretty close with their authentic blend of sweet, sour, fresh basil and lemongrass. Small business that seems to care about their customers from presentation to fresh veggies and adequate portions. TLDR: it's good, better than some other Thai places in the area, and brought me much joy. read more

I would say it is a pretty average thai place. You get the flavors that you expect, at a reasonable price. Food I've tried: - PAD THAI ($10 lunch/$12 dinner): pretty standard pad thai, a bit on the sweeter side. - DRUNKEN NOODLES ($10 lunch/$12 dinner): again, pretty average. Atmosphere: - I visited during off peak hours and it was pretty empty Service: - The staff was friendly, and we got our food pretty quick. Overall: - If you are in the mood for thai food, you wouldn't be disappointed by going here but you wouldn't be blown away either. The price is reasonable, given each entree item is ~$15. read more

The food was delicious and the service was great. We were a party of four and all of us left happy. The pad Thai was delicious. The only thing that might be a little overbearing for someone who is having it for the first time is the scent of the fish-sauce. While I loved it, it toke awhile for my friend whom also ordered the same dish to get used to the scent and continue eating. The Thai fried rice and duck dish were also enjoyed by individuals who were having Thai food for the first time. The highlight of the experience was the Thai iced tea! If you visiting the MFA or the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum, this restaurant is located near by and the food is great... read more

This place is amazing! One of my favorite Thai spots in Boston. The food is fresh and flavorful, the employees are extremely friendly and attentive, and there's a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend trying different dishes on the menu because they're all SO good. Definitely come here if you're in the Fenway area. read more

we had the wonton soup, pad thai, thai fried rice and shumai. everything tasted old and almost sour?? it was edible but we were also starving. i will say that i added the extra star only because the thai iced tea was very good. the service was mediocre at best. we had a train to catch so asked if our food could be taken to go and the sever took away our waters? i had to go up and ask for water which i thought was strange. the bathrooms were alright but not the cleanest i've ever seen. i wouldn't go back again. read more

Thaitation - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The one time I tried this restaurant the food gave me food poisoning and I felt very sick. There was no service, they took my order and the only time they came back was to drop my food off but they were very greedy for tips when they didn't do anything. I should have known to not eat here when I saw many rats scurrying outside in the street near this restaurant because they leave food outside. I also investigated by looking at Yelp and I've seen all of the violations that this restaurant has. If you go into the info section, you can see all of the problems with this place. A picture is attached below. I just want to warn other people before they get food poisoning from this establishment too. If you don't want food poisoning, make sure you stay far away from this restaurant. read more

Thaitation - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TREATMENT: Yesterday I ordered from Thaitation and parked in their established parking spots meant for customers in order to pick up the food. Since the food had to be eaten off the premises due to COVID-19, I did. When I returned to my car 20-30 minutes later, I learned it had been towed. When I asked the restaurant about it, they stated they didn't call to have it towed and rather said that the tow company came to them asking to tow the car. They refused to pay any compensation for the $160.00 tow claiming that they were not responsible for the tow, despite me showing them proof I had been there to pick up food. I spoke to the owners and their nephew during that conversation. I called the tow company that stated that the restaurant was lying and indeed they had called to purposefully tow the car. When I arrived to pick up the car, the towing company had said he spoke to the owners nephew (the one I had talked to earlier) and asked why he had told me that he didn't call. He said it didn't matter and that the car needed to be towed. He in fact lied about calling for the tow and blamed the towing on the towing company. I paid the $160.00. I called them today and they changed their story three different times. They blamed me for parking there all night and day (I don't live in Boston and didn't visit Boston until that day), then stated that they never called and then stated that the spots were only for when the restaurant was open for patrons inside. Boston has limited parking and I was following the signs. They refused to reimbursement and stated that it was my fault for parking there (despite it being an established spot for their customers). I have receipts to show that I have eaten there. This was the most expensive Thai food I've ever had including my tow. I will never eat from there again. Multiple lies and much disrespect. I wish I could give them a zero star. read more

I'm obsessed with the drunken noodles. So spicy and flavorful and comforting. The veggies are fresh and crispy chicken is a must! Spring rolls pretty good too read more

Forgot what I ordered but it was flavorful and simple (tasted like a home cooked meal, in the most normal way.) Portions are ok, matched the prices. Surprised at the massive menu but all very simple to understand. Delivery was speedy and I appreciated the "Yummy Lettuce" menu item - made me laugh so that's a nice bonus. read more

I don't know who Jim is, but I want to thank him on behalf of everyone who has experienced these wings. That's all I have to say.

I am ashamed to say this is my third order this week. Pre-covid, we woul dine in and the restaurant is a nice atmosphere with friendly staff. read more

Thaitation - Jim's Wings and graprow fried rice - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

A very solid Thai choice for this area. Ive tried Drunken noodles in a lot of places but this place has a particular flavor that sets it apart. The spiciness level was just right and all the trimmings were fresh and plentiful! They even managed to perfect the crispy tofu, which a lot of places arent sure how to get it right! There thai ice tea is also something to consider! It is a bit pricey for lunch but average for the area. read more

Thaitation - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

my friend and i were craving some thai food and decided to come by this place for lunch! we didn't have super high expectations, but we really did enjoy both of our meals. since most thai places around boston give bigger portions at usually a higher price, we were appreciative over the fact that their lunch dishes were just the right amount of food, slightly cheaper, and didn't leave us feeling uncomfortably full. i'd give this place 4.25/5 stars if i could just because of that! - notes - both cash and card are accepted! if you're deciding to come for lunch or dinner, i'd recommend coming for lunch! their prices are a few dollars cheaper; while the portions are probably not as big, it's still enough to feel full! - atmosphere - while the restaurant may seem small from the outside, there's quite some space on the inside. i believe there were around 15 tables, and it wasn't very crowded either. the ambiance was pretty low key and most of the people eating there were with friends for a casual lunch. - overall experience - my friend and i came on a sunday afternoon at around 12:00 pm. the restaurant was about half full when we first arrived but was pretty much entirely full by the time we left; it might've been because it was also mother's day! we were greeted by a nice server who took our orders shortly after we were seated. we waited around 20 minutes for our food, which wasn't that long considering how there were plenty of other tables to be served too. the service here was great overall and we didn't have any complaints! - recommendations - highly recommend that you must try their pad thai! 5/8/22 -pad thai lunch: i was used to other restaurants letting you choose your protein for a customized price when ordering pad thai, but this place only had one option. my lunch pad thai came with stir-fried rice noodles, chicken, around 2 pieces of shrimp, egg, scallion, bean sprout, and ground peanuts for ~$13. although i'm not sure if they'll make accommodations for vegetarian or only shrimp options, i would ask just to be sure. the shrimp and chicken were cooked just the right amount, and the noodles had the perfect balance of savory, nutty, sweet, and slightly acidic flavors! it seems like they used a bit more fish sauce than other places. i didn't really mind, since the peanut flavor stood out well too, even though there strangely weren't many visible ground peanuts. in my opinion, the portions weren't as big as i was used to, but i was able to finish my entire plate without feeling stuffed; the portions were just the right amount to fill me up, and the noodles weren't too oily either. im sure you can get more food at other thai restaurants for the same price, but i wasn't really looking to take home leftovers anyway. i can definitely see myself coming back in the future and ordering this!

We went for lunch on a Saturday around 1 and there were three other groups there and all of them were Asian, which seemed like a good sign. The waitstaff was very friendly and helpful. The food came out very quickly. I had red curry with chicken and it was great. Spicy, but still full of yummy flavors. My friends had the Grapow chicken and we all ate it all. The prices are also very reasonable. I had been here since it changed from Brown Sugar, but everything is still fantastic! read more

Completely and UTTERLY disappointed. I used to order from here a lot, stop for a bit and resumed. Their portions were tiny, expensive and the food was subpar. This used to be a go-to Thai place for me, now it is a stay-away-from. It is obvious they are cutting corners and it is showing in their food. Not for me!! read more

Absolutely average food. Not great, not awful. Flavors uneven. Spiciness level not as requested (not at all spicy despite asking for medium). Food brought to table and dropped off. No one checked in to ask about food or anything we needed. If we were in Dubuque or some other smaller city, this would be highly rated. I won't return but can't say you should stay away or won't like it. read more

Food was great! Service different not best but food made up! Close to MFA easy walking distance to MFA and Red Sox stadium

Yes, yes, yes. This place has such great food that you wouldn't really expect from this random place by the fens/Fenway. Well damn they have such good vegetarian options which is always appreciated. I will also mention that getting an appetizer is recommended. They even make there own limeade which totally hit the spot on a hot night. Don't just get the typical popular dishes, getting something out of your comfort zone & you can't go wrong. It's simply all delicious. So get some friends & head over to get some tasty Thai food. read more

I would give thaitation zero stars if I could. There was a huge bug in my drunken noodles. This was a part of a group order. When I called to ask for a refund for our order, they only agreed to refund my drunken noodles and 50% of the entire order. I explained that the entire order should be refunded as it is a health hazard and reflects on the cleanliness of the restaurant. They told me that the manager would call me back with an answer which he never did. Furthermore the food was 1 1/2 hours late. read more

Shrimp and Chashew with spring rolls and tiny salad rounded out an amazing, but maybe overly large, lunch. Sure, it was a bit slow, but it was a friday, and I was out with my boss so thats okay.

Thaitation held its Grand Opening on Thursday, January 22nd in the same location that used to house Brown Sugar Cafe...and Brown Sugar fans will be happy to know that the same chef is at the helm. The decor remains relatively unchanged although the giant urn containing live fish is gone and replaced with a hostess stand. The servers are friendly and very attentive - perhaps a bit over the top, but hey, better that than be completed ignored. The new menus are HUGE...page after page after page...try not to get overwhelmed by what appears to be a limitless supply of suggested Thai cuisine. You'll get through it and perhaps end up with the summer rolls - large and quite delicious. The beef macadamia was piled high on a plate and the flavor was tasty. Same space, same good food, different name. read more

The best Thai restaurant I've been to outside of Thailand, with good prices. The food is all very flavorful, and I love the cute little vases with fresh yellow flowers, the nice decor, and the great service. The Pad Thai is very tasty - both the regular (chicken and shrimp) and the vegetarian one (with amazing pieces of fried tofu). I also enjoyed the yellow curry and the beautifully presented mango and sticky rice mousse. read more
