Reviews
I would highly recommend this place. Their Thai tea is also excellent. The service is excellent!
I will certainly be coming back here more often.
Without a reservation, the wait was about an hour on a Saturday night, but it was so worth it. The Thai tea was one of the best I’ve ever had not overly sweet and topped with a milk cold foam giving it a rich and creamy texture.
The Massaman Pot Pie was both unique and comforting. The crust was crispy and flaky, and the beef and vegetables inside were savory and full of flavor. The steak Pad Thai took a bit longer to arrive but when it did, the steak, which we ordered medium rare was well done. Our server offered to replace it, but since my daughter was tired and hungry, we decided to keep it. As a kind gesture, they brought us a complimentary Thai Tea Panna Cotta for dessert. It was silky, lightly sweet, and the perfect ending to an outstanding meal.
Highly recommend, just be sure to make a reservation ahead of time.
We started with the vegan calamari (coconut meat) which was amazing! I would say it’s a must try, And the beef tongue app that has a nice Smokey flavor.
Then we ordered the Crab Curry and the Khao Soi with flat iron steak. Both fantastic dishes. We also ordered two very good mocktails the Thai tea coco bliss and the thaiger’s cloud tea. Our son had the shrimp fried rice. He loved the tiger shrimp and it was cooked perfectly
The atmosphere is very modern, nice decor and an open concept with the bar, plenty of seating for larger parties.
We tried multiple dishes. They brought out a few side dishes to try, which were unique. We got a pad thai, chicken satay, and curry with steak. The chicken satay wasn’t a favorite unfortunately, it didn’t taste as we expected and we couldn’t finish it, but it may suit others tastes. The Pad thai was delicious, with a big portion. The highlight of the meal was the steak and curry, the steak was cooked perfectly and was tender, and went well with the curry. The curry had a slight kick to it, but it paired well with rice and the whole meal. We ended the meal with a mango sticky rice, which came with the rice in a heart shape. It was perfect, not overly sweet, and had ice cream that paired well with it as well.
Customer service was great and Annie was so nice and helpful with helping me understand which were the newest dishes on menu. I had tea for a beverage, but they had a favorite of options for drinks.
Definitely will come again to try other dishes.
Heard endless hype about this new spot, so I finally made the trek out to Malden on a late Monday evening. It’s not exactly the neighborhood I associate with polished, atmospheric dining, so walking in was a surprise. Everything from the lighting to the service felt calibrated and thoughtful.
Aside from a few A5 wagyu splurges, the menu felt like a refinement of traditional Thai flavors rather than a confused fusion experiment. We stuck to the items highlighted in darker shades on the menu, and most things we tried were excellent. Their kitchen seemed to focus heavily on a combination of marinated, sous-vide, and grilled techniques, and they were some of the best Thai-inspired meat dishes I’ve had in the GBA.
Golden Fried Pork Belly – High-quality pork belly with just the right amount of fat. Fried until crisp but still juicy inside, and not greasy. Solid start.
Massaman Pot Pie – Essentially a buttery curry puff in pot pie form. Pleasant, but nothing to write home about.
Sous-Vide Beef Tongue – Initially skeptical because of the theatrical juniper smoke, but the dish lived up to the hype. The smoke added very little flavor, but the tongue itself (after 18 hours sous-vide) was impeccably tender. Loved that they served it as thick cubes rather than thin slices (made the fattiness more satisfying). Best of all was the roasted tomato relish, which reminded me of Korean ssamjang, but maybe even better: deep umami with a clean, acidic finish. Best dish of the night.
A5 Wagyu Krapow Glazed Rice – Wagyu portion was small, and even torched to medium-rare, there wasn’t quite enough rendered fat to make the flavors pop. Still, the Krakow sauce had a nice gentle heat, and the crispy basil was a nice touch. Liked that it was less MSG-forward than most Thai fried rice, which allowed the basil and garlic to stand out more naturally.
Berkshire Pork Cheek – One of the best pork jowls I’ve had. Usually I’m used to grilled versions, but here the marinade and sous-vide technique brought out even more richness. The subtle sweetness of the marinade paired beautifully with the pork fat. Only minor note: the Brussels sprouts, while well-prepared, overlapped a little too much in sweetness with the pork marinade.
Roasted Curry with Flat Iron – Expected this to be a favorite, but unfortunately, no… The flat iron steak itself was cooked flawlessly, so it was tender without feeling dry. However, the Thai spinach curry lacked intensity. A good dish if you’re just looking for a clean, well-cooked steak.
Mango Sticky Rice – Triple coconut (ice cream, milk, sauce) paired with slightly underripe mango and flawless sticky rice. The rice was served perfectly warm, cohesive, and just sticky enough. Only my second time trying mango sticky rice, but the best version I’ve had so far.
