Boston food | In summer, eat sour and spicy Thai dishes đšđ
đ Sen Yai Thai: Bostonâs Cozy Thai SpotâSmall Menu, Big Flavors, Zero Fails Donât let the short menu fool youâthis Thai spot nails flavor with every dish. Perfect for summer (or any season, really), itâs affordable, satisfying, and worth a visit if youâre craving bright, bold Southeast Asian tastes. đ Standout Dishes Spicy Salad with Rice đĽ ⢠A summer favorite: Fresh greens, herbs, and a zesty sauce tossed with riceâscoop it all up for a burst of tangy, savory, and slightly spicy flavor. ⢠Pro tip: Share it with a friend. Itâs delicious, but rich enough that a full portion can feel heavy. ăťMinor quibble: The accompanying (choy sum) is overly rawâcould use a quick blanch. The pickled veggies on the side help cut the richness, though. Pork Bone Soup đ˛ ăťA comforting standout: Tender pork bones (great for gnawing) in a (spicy-sour) broth, with excess fat skimmed off. Pour it over white rice for a hearty, fragrant mealâpacked with that signature Southeast Asian depth. Marinated Raw Salmon đ ⢠Their marinated shrimp is famous, but the salmon version doesnât disappoint. Fresh fish tossed in a bright, herbaceous sauce (likely the same as the shrimpâs)âbright, citrusy, and exactly what youâd hope for in Thai-style raw preparations. đ The Details Menu: Small but curatedâno filler, just hits. Price: ~$36 per personâexcellent value for the quality and portions. Vibe: Casual, cozy, and focused on flavorâno frills, just good Thai food. #BostonThai #ThaiFoodLovers #AffordableEats #NoBadChoices
