Based on one visit. Smaller restaurant on a Washington Street in Brighton. Pluses (+) Ambiance/Decor/Environment is cozy and warm even though its an open room. Nice quality tables and chairs as well as decorations creates an inviting environment. The warmth of the staff also makes it inviting. Food Type: What you would expect like Street food, classics. noodles and curries and a few regional specialties. Prices: Reasonable for food of this quality. We spent $90 pre-tip for three including an appetizer and a few beers (for me only). Food Quality: Very Good. We had three dishes and an appetizer and shared everything. Singha and Leo beer available as expected washed it down. I have been to Thailand on business trips and vacation and by no means have a palette capable of detecting nuances in regional dishes (I can a bit for Korean and Japanese due to extended time spent there), but could taste it was a bit playing to the American tastes. Still really good. Service: Friendly and generally fast. Minus (-) The meals came out separately. Meal one came with the appetizer. Then 7-10 minutes the second meal. Then 7-10 minutes the third meal. If eating American style ie everyone eats only their own meal, this would be a real problem. As my wife is Korean we usually eat family style (we often share meals at American restaurants, why not, you get to try more dishes), so this was not an issue really. The pluses outweigh negative it is still 4.5 rounder to 5. Absolutely worth a try. Enjoy!
Love Thonglor! I have this odd sense of pride whenever I pass Thonglor because I see them doing so well to have expanded into a sister noodle joint, Sen Yai Thai, on the same block - you know a place is beating the hunger-game restaurant odds when there's a wait for both places on a weekday night. Bonus points for an extravagantly laminated menu that has pictures of every single dish rendered in uber-colorful detail. We got the: papaya salad with shrimp; chicken satay; crab fried rice; pad thai; and mango sticky rice. More than enough food to feed two people, including a little bit for leftovers the next day. The crab fried rice - please, please get this. I'm usually not a fried rice person, as my parents taught me long ago that rice is just filler and must be avoided at all costs at the buffet line, but their crab fried rice is stellar. Loaded with generous chunks of real crab and so flavorful, with the smokiness of the wok permeating through. I also usually skip the pad thai at any Thai restaurant but I loved this rendition, beautiful balance of sweet and salty, and with all the necessary accoutrements, like chopped peanuts and a squeeze of lime. I would say the chicken satay is maybe a skip but it comes with an incredible peanut sauce that I love to slather on top of everything. Mango sticky rice: eh, it's not the season for mango. The one that came with ours was definitely a bit anemic and limp. The warm sticky rice covered in condensed milk with the faintest tinge of pandan green was good enough to eat on its own. They're really busy so not the best place to sit and talk with your friends all evening. Also not a lot of street parking on a busy street. I suggest walking or taking the bus over. Need to order the fried fish next time. You know a Thai place is excellent when I'm lured away from my beloved green curry to try the other options.
Super good and strong flavors here!!! Such a good Thai place and the menu is so cute, I love being able to see all the dishes and not just read the names. The meat is always cooked perfectly and all the sauces pair with each other well. Prices are good, I've paid much much for worse quality food. Wish the interior was larger because it can get a bit crowded and you might get sat a little too close to comfort with other tables (I was bumping elbows with strangers sometimes!). No complaints on service or food though!!
Picked up takeout here and it was good. The prices were very reasonable for Thai food. Most of the menu items ranged from 16-22$. Standouts were the pad see ew and curry puffs. The pastry on the curry puffs was really flaky and had a flavorful filling. Green curry was also good.
See my first review over three years ago. Have been ordering for deliveries all throughout and finally recently dined in again. Here are some comments and suggestions for improvements. To do better, of course. Employees should stop gossiping about customers or making sarcastic facial expressions/gestures toward one another about the customers -- e.g., "They're still taking their time on the menu", I told you so, these customers are clueless, who's, not sure why they're not ready to order yet! etc. I like the Sen Yai Thai Restaurant next door a lot better. The servers are a lot more pleasant and welcoming, no sarcastic attitudes, gossiping behind customers' backs as those here at Thonglor.
Make a reservation or come when the open because this place fills up fast. The food is delicious and came out fast. Good spot to come with family and friends. Duck curry - crispy with a nice slow building heat Crying tiger - tender beef and the cilantro sauce it came with was delicious Chicken satay - chicken a little dry but sauces were great Three flavor fish - the fish was fried very crispy and came with sweet and sour sauce. Whole fish but you don't have to worry about bones Mango sticky rice - sweet end to a great meal.
This review is base off a to go experience! I still need to dine in! We ordered the Tum Tard which is a combination of meat, papaya salad, and sticky rice. A lot of Thai, Cambodian, and Lao restaurants offer this type of combination dish. Sometimes with beef, pork, or fried chicken wings. We also got shrimp pad thai. Food 4/5 - grilled pork was really nice and tender. Lots of flavor from the grilled marks. The sauce that came with it was so good. Tangy and spicy. Papaya was ok.. I prefer Cambodian or Laos papaya salad over Thai. Thai is more sweet and not as spicy. Pad Thai was good. I'm sure everything would have been even better if we dined in. Next time!
We try Thai everywhere we go and this place deserves a 9.2. I will always drive out of Boston to eat here. Every trip to New England must have this restaurant on its itinerary. We had the steamed rice, pad see ew noodles, beef salad, and Tom yum soup. To drink we had Thai teas. Everything was phenomenal!! The food was really tasty and authentic. I wish we were told the food was spicy because our food was extremely spicy. If this were a 3 I would've ordered a 2. The spice is delicious but at the current spicy level we had to push ourselves to keep eating. Definitely try the Thai tea. Overall I rate this restaurant a 9.2, I would travel and go out of my way to stop by. Make a reservation if possible, service was quick. Restaurant is small and cozy.
All the food and drinks were amazing. Honestly one of my favorite Thai spots in the area. The crispy duck curry was so delicious, it's a must get here.
Absolutely delish food and drinks!! The restaurant is not too big but it gets very busy at dinner. It can be loud and lively around the evening. The wait is worth it though. We ordered 4 dishes (crying tiger was to-go, no photo) and a cocktail. Everything was delish. I wish I live closer so I can try the rest of the menu. Definitely a must try place!!
Food was great, and customer service is the best. They have alot of customers waiting outside the door but the smiles did not disapear. They kept checking to see if I was eating well and if I ndeeed anything. Everyone is so nice and helpful. So tum was strange since it is served with cook shrimps not dried shrimps, but the taste is awesome. Crying tiger is great,and they made the Thai milk tea less sweet for me which is nice. Price is affordable. Will come back to try more next trip!
Located in Brighton in the midst of many high-powered educational institutions, the restaurant was crowded with what appeared to be PhD students in molecular biology having a great time. The chicken saté was outstanding, perfectly cooked, flavorful, juicy, and tender. They also came through with the Pad Thai, Tom Yum shrimp and mango sticky rice. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Amazing local Thai spot! They have some dishes that aren't a common find on most Thai joint menus. I will just say that some of the dishes were a touch in the sweet side so if you're glucose sensitive watch out for that. Overall great service, drinks and some of the best mango sticky rice I have had!

We had a craving for Thai food and saw this just opened in the neighborhood. The place was well decorated with industrial chic and comfortable seating and tasteful murals. The staff was friendly and prompt. I appreciated the menu with sufficient choices but not overwhelming. The QR code takes you to menu with photos for those who appreciates visual preview. We ordered Pad Thai and it was delicious, healthy amount of shrimp & chicken and crushed peanuts. The noodles were not overly cooked or oily and sufficient sauce to make it one of the best pad Thai we had. We ended up ordering one to go so my daughter could have it again for lunch next day. We also had the Tom Yum MorFai and it had good mix of seafood and vegetables. The fueled pot keeps the soup hot and delicious. Overall, great dinning experience and definitely will be back. So glad they joined the Brighton neighborhood! read more

So, so good! I have no Thai background, but I've eaten at most of the Thai places in Boston and this was exquisite. They put a grilled banana leaf beneath the Pad See Ew that added a smokiness to the dish that was just divine. A little pricey for the portion, but definitely worth it for a delicious night out. read more
