🌶️ Boston Thai Food Guide: More Hidden Gems from My 10+ Spot Adventure Obsessed with Thai food? Check my “Southeast Asian Eats” collection—spoiler, it’s mostly Thai! Here’s the latest roundup of spots I’ve tried, from crispy chicken legends to a hidden gem in Little Italy: 🏅 Must-Eat (You’ll Regret Skipping) 📍 Nu-Do (Cambridge): 💛💛💛💛💛 (extra 💛 for good measure) Their fried chicken is the best I’ve had in any Thai spot—crunchy outside, juicy inside, with a fragrant spice blend that’s addictive. And their Thai iced tea? Topped with condensed milk, it’s sweet, creamy, and so much better than the standard. Check my earlier posts for a deep dive—this place is non-negotiable. 🥈 Solid Picks (Worth a Visit) 📍 Kala Thai Cookery (North End): 💛💛💛💛 (almost 5!) Who knew Little Italy had such amazing Thai food? With a 4.7 Google rating, it lives up to the hype—affordable and huge portions: Spicy Noodle Soup: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Think tom yum broth with slurp-worthy noodles—tangy, spicy, and massive (I took half home). Fried Fish Appetizer: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Crispy fish with a bright, sweet-spicy dip—refreshing and perfectly seasoned. Pineapple Curry: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (almost 5) Creamy coconut curry with sweet pineapple chunks—balances rich and fresh. 📍 Brown Sugar Cafe (near Ya Yuan): 💛💛💛💛 Cute decor and solid flavors, though not mind-blowing. Their satay isn’t as good as Anchor’s (Anchor is my Boston satay GOAT 🥹), but it’s a great casual spot if you’re in the area. 📍 Sweet Rice (takeout): 💛💛💛💛 Reliable for delivery—consistent pad thai, green curry, and hearty portions. Perfect for lazy nights when you don’t feel like cooking. 🥉 Decent, But Not a Standout 📍 Pai Kin Kao (next to Nu-Do): 💛💛💛 (almost 4) A cozy family spot for quick bites. The fried chicken (4/5) and beef curry (4/5) are okay, but the pad thai tasted slightly fishy. Drop by if you’re nearby, but don’t make a special trip. 🌟 One More Shoutout! 📍 9 Zzab: 💛💛💛💛💛 (EAT HERE!) I’ve raved about it in my “must-eat” lists, but it’s worth repeating: cheap, flavorful street food that hits every time. Pad thai, larb pork, beef stew—order anything, and you won’t be disappointed. Even takeout stays fresh. #BostonThaiFood #FriedChickenObsessed #NorthEndEats
