Boston 🇹🇭Brighton Thai Thonglor delicious roast chicken 🍗

🌶️ Brighton’s Thai Spot: Solid but Slow—Here’s What to Order Nestled in Brighton, this Thai restaurant checks the "authentic vibe" box (thanks to Thai-speaking staff) but stumbles on service. Overall, it’s a safe bet for reliable Thai flavors—no surprises, no disasters. Here’s the breakdown: 🌟 Standout Dishes to Prioritize Kai Tod HadYai (Southern Thai Fried Chicken) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 $15 • The star of the meal: crispy-skinned chicken (legs + wings included) with juicy, tender meat • Served with sticky rice—perfect for sopping up any extra sauce • Value alert: Generous portions for the price (easily feeds 2 as a side) Chicken Satay 🌟🌟🌟🌟 $12 • Five tender chicken skewers marinated in lemongrass and turmeric • Peanut dipping sauce is creamy with a hint of lime—better than most Boston Thai spots • Pro tip: Ask for extra sauce to drizzle over rice 💡 Decent but Not Essential Mango Sticky Rice 🌟🌟🌟 $10 • Classic combo: ripe mango (sweet, not underripe!) with coconut-soaked sticky rice • Caveat: Arrived 40 minutes after our mains—ask to order it early Thai Iced Tea 🌟🌟🌟 $5 • Smooth, not overly sweet—balances spicy dishes well • Skip the iced coffee (too syrupy, tastes like toffee) ❌ Meh Picks to Skip Crying Tiger (Grilled Steak) 🌟🌟 $25 • Tough, overcooked steak with a bland "secret sauce" • Sticky rice is good, but not enough to save this dish 3 Flavor Fish 🌟🌟 $35 • Sweet-sour sauce overwhelms the fish (which tastes generic) • Few meaty pieces for the price—better to splurge on a larger chicken dish 📍 Practical Notes Service Reality: • Thai-accented English adds charm, but staff is slow (expect 10+ minutes for water) • Bill arrives lightning-fast—they want tables turned over quickly Parking: • Street parking on Washington St (metered, 2-hour limit) • Free after 8 PM if you’re dining late Price: • $40/person (with apps + mains + dessert)—standard for Brighton Vibe: • Clean, modern decor with Thai art on the walls • Good for small groups (4–6 people) but tight for larger parties 🌟 Final Verdict: 3.5/5 (Reliable but Not Revolutionary) Come for the fried chicken and satay—they’re worth the wait. Just don’t expect attentive service, and skip the pricier fish dishes. It’s not Boston’s best Thai, but it’s a solid backup when you’re in Brighton. 🍗 #BostonThai #BrightonEats #ThaiFood #BostonDining #FriedChickenLovers
