The small Thai restaurant in Boston/Newbury is also a surprise!
đśď¸ Bangkok Bento Thai Kitchen: Newburyâs Tiny Thai-Japanese GemâDuck Dishes Steal the Show Fellow (Thai food lovers) know: Skip a week of sweet-spicy flavors, and we start craving it. This tiny spot on Newburyâtucked downstairs, easy to missâblends Thai classics with subtle Japanese touches, and itâs way better than its low-key vibe suggests. đ The Standouts (Duck Reigns Supreme) Duck Drunken Noodles: 5 stars, my favorite. Wide rice noodles stir-fried with tender duck, fresh veggies, and a bold, savory sauce. The spice? Medium-heat (more than I expected), with a kick that lingers in the best way. Textural perfectionâchewy noodles, juicy meat, crisp greens. Yellow Curry with Duck: 5 stars, creamy and rich. Silky yellow curry coconut sauce, loaded with tender duck pieces (no dryness here). Itâs milder than the drunken noodles, with a hint of sweetness that balances the richness. So good, we mopped up every last drop with rice. đˇ The âAlmost Perfectâ Bite Green Curry with Crispy Pork: 4.5 stars. A solid, reliable green curryâherby, slightly spicy, and packed with veggies (maybe too many veggies, tbh). The crispy pork is good, but pales in comparison to the duck dishes. Still, no complaintsâjust not the star. đ A Note on the Vibe Small, casual, and easy to walk past (look for the address: 272 Newbury St). Itâs not fancy, but thatâs part of the charmâfocused on flavor over frills. đ¸ Verdict If youâre roaming Newbury and need a Thai fix, skip the tourist traps and head here. The duck dishes alone make it worth the detourâand itâs a great addition to any Boston Thai food rotation. đ Bangkok Bento Thai Kitchen: Newburyâs underrated Thai spotâfollow your nose (and the spice). #BostonThai #NewburyEats #DuckLovers
