Brown Sugar Cafe was introduced to me almost eight years ago. The food is amazing! I love the papaya salad, the tom yum soup, pineapple fried rice, the mango chicken and oh that Thai ice tea! As you can see, I have tried quite a bit of their menu. It is highly recommended. Although the restaurant is top notch, the sister restaurant in Cambridge is not as good. Definitely opt for the Commonwealth location, but be weary of high volume times. The service is amazing, but you may feel a bit rushed. If you go at lunch on a weekend, you can sit and relax and take your time.

I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere alone is worth going for. It has a New York vibe to it (which is difficult to find, even in Boston). The bartenders are some of the best and friendliest I've ever encountered. They can make a lot of good drinks, and even have good suggestions if you're willing to try something new. I happened to go on one of the nights where they had live music---and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

In a city where ethnic restaurants are few and far between (especially Thai) this place is one of my favorite in the city. I?m originally from DC where Thai restaurants are as common as Starbucks and when I first moved here I unfortunately had to toil through the few Thai places that Boston has I found King and I. They have the best Pad Thai I?ve ever had and huge portions of everything unlike 99% of other Thai places Who cares if this places lacks decor, are you ordering wall paper as your meal?? Two thumbs up for King and I. If you go for lunch get there when they open the place fills up to full capacity very quickly.
Pros: Big Portions and Great Price
Cons: Service can be slow especially when its busy at lunch

So I got here late (9:45 pm). My waiter was friendly and nice and answered all my questions. The sushi rolls were fresh and there was a wide variety to chose from. The drunken noodles were seasoned and spiced well (I asked for mine a "little spicy"). The wine was slightly pricy (as far as Asian restaurants go) but the portion was good, so I didn't mind. The only negative was that at 10:15 pm, they asked if I could pay my bill. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the hostess told me they closed at 10:30 pm. I really didn't mind as I was already eating (and drinking wine). To be fair, I was the last diner inside at that point. Normally, I don't like being rushed in my dining but I was famished and the food in front of me. Ehh, if that's the worst I can comment on... who cares?
Pros: EXCELLENT FOOD, Good service, GENTLE PRICES!!
Cons: No available parking (as far as I could tell)

When I lived in Boston, I used to go to Thai Basil once a week. Either eat in or take out. The staff is wonderful (Nit is so sweet), they remember me even thought I have moved away and only go when I am in town (it is the only place I HAVE to go to when I return to Boston. The Tom Yum Chicken Soup is to die for; I haven't found any better in my new home of Chicago and beleive me I have tried. For me it is the one I measure all other Thai restaurants against.
Pros: amazing food, staff, location
Cons: little loud

Washington Street is in the heart of the downtown Boston business district. Equator is a 'hot' spot for a quick business lunch. Don't let the line at the door discourage you. It goes quickly and is worth the wait.

Since moving to Boston 3.5 years ago, we probably go to Chilli Duck once every two weeks. It is AWESOME. Everything on the menu is great - we particularly like the papaya salad, chicken satays, chilli duck, and hot basil dishes. :)

I have been here twice and both times have been completely worth it. The ambience, food, service and prices are all worth the experience. Its nice to see how much effort some restaurants put into keep improving and sustaining high standards. Do go there and enjoy all the amazing Thai curries.
Pros: Food, Service, Ambience, Prices
Cons: may not look at impressive from the outside but wait till you get in!

I have been to Bangkok Blue a few times, as it is convenient to my work place. The service is fast, flavors far more authentic than other Thai places I have tried (innumerable), and they don't use MSG (I asked!). Considering the Copley location, the prices are very reasonable.
The best part is that they have a menu for the American palate and a menu for the Thai palate. If you want to try dishes not available in most Thai restaurants, just ask to look at the Thai menu, it has English translations. My favorite is the fried cat fish salad.
Pros: Steps from Copley T, Authentic menu, Alfresco dining
Cons: Hard to Park
