    We really enjoyed the pad Thai, fried roti and mango sticky rice. The miso soup was not my favorite but my husband liked it.

    This new Thai place was super cute and cozy inside, and the food was delicious! I enjoyed the Panang curry. The staff was friendly!

Fish cakes were small and perfectly uniform - almost like they were frozen rather than prepared on site. Green curry had some spice but was mostly one note, there just wasn't much depth of flavor. Vegetables were all cut in huge hunks - both dishes had giant pieces of red bell peppers and onions. Fried rice was pretty bland and barely had any Chinese broccoli in it. Ambiance was bare bones - you order at the counter and they bring you your food and plastic side plates. Half the tables were stacked with boxes and bags of takeout orders. To top it off there's no bathroom, we were told to use the bathroom at another local business. If I'm gonna spend $60 somewhere, I expect to be able to wash my hands before eating and use the restroom. Perhaps there are some specialty dishes that we didn't try but this was my 2nd time ordering from here (I got take out once before) and both times the food was pretty bland. A truly underwhelming experience - especially when there are so many better restaurants in the area.

    Sugar & Spice Thai Restaurant is a Thai restaurant that focuses on a wide variety of traditional…read moredishes with a mix of familiar favorites and less common options. We walked into a space with a casual and comfortable atmosphere, making it a good option for both quick meals and longer dinners. The interior is warm and inviting, with a practical layout that accommodates both small groups and larger parties comfortably. What stood out to us was the size of the menu and the range of dishes available, including different noodle dishes, curries, and specialty items that are not always found at every Thai restaurant. The food has a strong focus on bold flavors and generous portions. The drunken noodles and khao soi are some of the dishes that stand out, offering rich sauces, noodles, and spices that make the meal feel satisfying. We ordered a few different plates and found the drunken noodles had a good wok char with a balance of heat and savory depth, while the khao soi delivered a creamy, aromatic curry broth that clung to the noodles and tender chicken. The restaurant also has plenty of options for different preferences, including vegetarian and vegan choices, and some dishes can lean heavier, but the flavors are generally well developed and the portions make it easy to share. One of the highlights is the variety of specialty dishes. Items like crispy duck, pork belly dishes, and regional-style noodles add more variety beyond the typical Thai restaurant menu, with the crispy duck offering a rich, savory contrast to the lighter noodle dishes. The spice levels can also be adjusted, so it is easy to find something comfortable or try something with more heat depending on your preference. Service was generally friendly, and the food came out at a reasonable pace. The restaurant can get busy during peak dinner hours, especially because it is a popular spot in the area, so wait times may vary. The outdoor seating is also a nice option when the weather is good, adding another layer to the dining experience. Sugar & Spice Thai Restaurant is a solid choice for Thai food in the Cambridge area. The large menu, generous portions, and variety of dishes make it a place worth returning to when looking for flavorful Thai food with plenty of options to explore across multiple visits.

There was a lapse in communication so my friend ordered/received the wrong dish, but they were apologetic and quickly prepared the correct one!

It's not the typical trendy spot for…read morea ladies night out but it was perfect for a frigid evening when you just want to wear comfy clothes, be warm, and not stray far from home. One friend is a regular and she got her usual entree with a bunch of substitutions to accommodate her food intolerances (poor thing!), and the staff was very kind as usual. Another friend got the duck which is her favorite dish (she was happy with it!). I got spicy green beans and chicken and it was very flavorful and just the perfect level of spicy for me. Two of us ordered the hot sake (it's in the teens today!). The hot sake is actually a nicer brand than you sometimes get. It had a nice clean finish and maybe went down a little too easily! The best part about our dinner was that the staff let us stay and chat for hours without rushing us out. It was not a crowded evening being so cold but it was a very pleasant experience. My family has been coming to noodle market since we first bought our home in town in 2018. It's our go to place for pho when someone is sick. It doesn't have the most flavorful broth I've ever had but it is always fresh so we keep ordering it. Sometimes you just want clean healthy food and that's what you'll find at noodle market.

I was seated very promptly and had my order taken by a friendly server. The pho dac biet was okay, the broth was kind of lacking in depth and aromatics...but we are in Arlington, not the Dot or Quincy. The thing that put me off was the rare beef was a bit sour, so I fished it to the side and avoided it. The few tables around me seemed to like their dishes, but I personally won't be going out of my way to return.
