This Thai bar in Boston is amazing

đŸč Mahaniyom: Brookline’s Stylish Thai Bistro—Still Impressive After 3 Years First visited when it opened, and this trendy Thai gastropub left a mark. Three years later, it’s still delivering—cool vibes, bold flavors, and enough standout dishes to make me eager to check out its sister spot, Merai. 🌟 The Hits Salted Pepper Pork Cheek: đŸ· A nostalgia bomb. Crispy, slightly dried pork cheek with a texture like (Chinese cured pork bits)—tender with a hint of fat and tendon, reminiscent of childhood street food. The seasoning? Spot-on, like a favorite local BBQ joint’s secret blend. Pair it with a drink, and it’s addictive—chewy, salty, and full of depth. Only letdown: the sticky rice, which was too mushy (needs more bite). Fried Chive Cake: 🌼 Best chive cake I’ve had. Crisp, golden exterior giving way to a chewy, glutinous interior. The chives add a fresh, oniony kick, and the charred edges bring smoky richness—perfect as a bar snack. It’s salty, savory, and dangerously easy to polish off with a cocktail. Green Papaya Pad Thai: đŸ„— Clever, if not what I expected. Tons of recommendations led me to order this, but fair warning: it’s stir-fried green papaya (not rice noodles), cooked “pad thai-style” with tamarind, peanuts, and egg. The twist works—the papaya stays crisp, the sauce is sweet-savory, and the wok hei (charred flavor) is spot-on. Manage expectations, and you’ll love it. Mahaniyom Sazerac: đŸ„ƒ A Thai twist on the classic: rye infused with Thai tea, bold and boozy. Great for whiskey lovers, but skip it if you prefer sweeter drinks—it’s all about that robust, herbal kick. 😐 The Miss Beef Panang: đŸ„˜ A classic curry that falls flat here. The sauce lacks depth (not rich or fragrant enough), and the beef is just “meh”—tender, but unmemorable. Stick to the small plates and cocktails instead. ✹ The Vibe Chic, low-lit, and lively—part bistro, part bar. It’s perfect for sharing plates, sipping creative drinks, and soaking up that “cool neighborhood spot” energy. Budget Score: 4/5. At ~$50 per person, it’s a splurge, but worth it for the standout dishes and vibe. Mahaniyom hasn’t lost its touch. It’s not just Thai food—it’s a fun, flavorful experience that keeps you coming back. 📍 Mahaniyom 236 Washington St, Brookline, MA 02445 #BrooklineEats #ThaiGastropub #BostonFoodie
