Le Ros Thai Asian Cuisine & Bar — Restaurant in Marblehead

Made dinner reservations for four tonight ( Thursday ) at 6:15pm after getting a very positive recommendation from a friend . Unfortunately , we ( at least I ) did not have the same positive experience . Reservations really were not necessary as there were only two or three other tables occupied when we arrived . Ordered fried calamari , scallion pancakes , Mongolian beef , House beef fried rice , one half curry duck and red curry duck dishes …. Scallion pancakes were excellent . Calamari was also very good, but could have had more calamari and less fried pickles ( very different from the website menu photo ) . The Mongolian beef was very tough - far from tender , and certainly not worth the price , given the quantity and quality . The fried rice was very good but the beef in it was the same tough beef used in the Mongolian beef dish . Again , not satisfying enough to justify the price . I didn’t taste either of the duck dishes , but was told by the other three people that did eat each dish , that one was good and the other so so . I don’t remember which was which. On a more positive note , the staff was very attentive and the food was served in a timely manner . We didn’t stay late , and were the only people left in the restaurant when we did leave . Before we left , the heat was turned off - or at least way down - as it became noticeably cold . I appreciate that we were the last ones in the restaurant and the need to conserve on heating expenses , but really……. no heat ? It is unlikely that I will return . I will go to another restaurant where I can leave with the feeling of satisfaction that it was money well spent . I did not get that feeling at Le Ros ....

I grew up on the North Shore near Marblehead and didn't have much exposure to Thai food growing up. I moved to NYC when I was 18 and stayed there for 15+ years...eating a LOT of very good Thai food over those years. But every time I would come back and visit my family I was always disappointed that there still wasn't any decent Thai food in the area (in fact, I couldn't even find edible Thai food). I recently packed up my family and moved back to the North Shore and was so pleasantly surprised the first time we ordered from Le Ros. This place is a gem. It's consistently excellent every time we take out or dine in. The people who work there are lovely as well and the decor is pretty hip for Marblehead.

So, if you like Thai (or think you don't because you've only had the bad offerings of past local establishments) I highly recommend you check them out; you won't be disappointed.

The location is on a side street, so not a ton of visibility, and selfishly wanna keep these guys in business so that my family and I can keep enjoying their food for many...

I'm so thankful Le Ros offers delicious Thai food in Marblehead. I hope our community keeps them thriving for years to come. Our family orders from here frequently - especially on Mondays - and we have dined in as well (can be slightly chilly - bring a sweater but it's a really pretty atmosphere). I'm so glad they make the green curry perfectly with well cooked eggplant - hats off to the chef! Their pad see ew is also delicious, among other apps and entrees. Ordering on Sunday vs. Monday yesterday, there may have been a different chef - all seemed slightly different but...
