This spot sits in downtown Newton and is tiny, probably better for take out than sitting down since there are only two tables in the place. The menu is some very creative Thai selections and the...

O.M.G. I am completely obsessed with this place -- i swear they put crack in the food, it's that addictive. My boyfriend and I eat here at least once a week, often twice or three times. Yes, it's...

This place is a little hole in the wall, but it's got the best Thai take-out around. There are a few tables, and in the summer they put 2 outside, but i've never sat down to eat. The basil rolls come...

This place has consistantly good thai food, and is very reasonably priced. I've eaten in and take out, though it is primarily a take-out place. Service in the restaurant is prompt and friendly.
