Brookline’s Cozy Thai Bistro 🍹 | Mahaniyom Review

📍 Mahaniyom 236 Washington St, Brookline, MA 02445 🗂️ Thai Fusion 🌟🌟🌟 (Drinks > Food) ✍🏻 Tiny spot—even with a 7:15PM Thursday reservation, we waited 20 mins outside (brrr!). Service was sweet though—free fried chicken skin appetizer as an apology (which we were gonna order anyway!). The Bites: ✅ Chive Cake: Crispy outside + chewy inside—unique and delicious! Allium lovers, run here! ⭕️ Fried Chicken Skin: More breading than skin—skip unless you’re a batter fanatic. ✅ Salted Pepper Pork Cheek: Spicy, savory pork bits—perfect with rice! ✅ Crab Fried Rice: Generous crab shreds in fragrant wok-tossed rice. ⭕️ Kang Pu (Crab Curry): Heat overpowered the crab (where was it?!), served with glass noodles. ⭕️ Green Papaya Pad Thai: Crunchy papaya noodles—interesting texture, but not better than classic. ✅ Tofu Song Kueng: Lightly fried silken tofu—simple but satisfying. Sips: ✅ Pineapple Mocktail: Sparkly, not too sweet—only NA option! ✅ Thai Iced Tea: Classic creamy-sweet perfection. #ThaiEats #BrooklineBites #BostonFoodie #SpicyLovers #CrabFriedRice
