Amazing. Delicious. The Omakase box was the best meal I have had during the pandemic (and I’ve had at least one other incredible tasting meal!). Do yourself a favor, and order the Omakase box for delivery (or pick up - you do you) right now....You will not be disappointed. If I could, I would get it every weekend. And, the Thai food is incredible as well.More

This was definitely the top 10 dinners of my life. And may be the best omakase I’ve had (yes, maybe even better than O-ya’s). The flavors just burst in your mouth. The textures complement both the actual food and flavors. Pretty much a celebration for...your taste buds and mouth feel. And don’t get me started on the presentation. Beautiful, colorful and artful.More

Impressive! First time here, not disappointed. You have lots of options to choose from the menu(which is especially great during the Covid) My bf is allergic to seafood and he also had lots of options! The chicken nuggets is so yummy😋we ordered second one immediately...after we finished the first. The plating is an art there, you can tell they put lots of thought in matching the food with the container and the decoration. But tbh I would say the quality of the plating is better than the taste. One dish I want to try is the oyster(it will serve in a little wood chest, they told me it needs to be ordered first as it’s coming from California. It’s a bit pricy though but I think it’s worthy, we 3 ppl spent 210(including tips).More

This restaurant has been recommended to me several times and I finally had a chance to try it - it did not disappoint. While the sushi (particularly the specialty pieces) were a bit pricey they were both beautiful and tasty. Having traveled to Thailand, I...can also report that this is the most authentic Thai food I have had outside of Thailand. Just loved the Penang curry with duck - crispy skin and amazing flavors. And, to top it off, the staff are just lovely. Can't wait to go back.More

A restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The food is excellent and plentiful. The service was exceptional.

Went with a Friend and we were greatly surprised. The food cuisine available is Thai & Japanese. I had an incredible vegetarian Thai curry with rice. My Friend had a non vegetarian phase Thai noodle. The service and the quality of food is greatly appreciated....Would recommend this place for the versatility of the food provided.More

Came here on recommendation from vegetarian friends who said this place was excellent, but for me it was simply underwhelming. Our dinner was a bit bland. The "hot ginger" wasn't hot at all, and my friend's dish was basically steamed vegetables with a very thick...peanut sauce on the side. Not what she was expecting! The place is kind of dark, too. Given my friend's rave reviews I'm willing to give it another shot. Next time I'll go for the sushi which looked like a work of art.More

I have eaten at Laughing Monk dozens of times for takeout, on dates, and in large groups and have been extremely pleased with the food and service every time. The menu ranges from very reasonably priced and delicious rice / noodle dishes great for a...casual lunch or dinner to exquisitely prepared sushi for a bit of a treat. The presentation of the sushi is truly beautiful, utilizing fresh fish and home-grown edible flowers and microgreens. Lastly, the desserts are just as delicious, inventive, and beautiful as the main courses, and I would highly recommend leaving room for something sweet to finish. Laughing Monk ranks in the top 1-3 for both Thai and sushi restaurants in the Boston area (having lived in various neighborhoods for the past decade).More

how did we not know about this place? We found it by accident and had dinner there. The appetizers are sensational; the main was excellent. The portions generous. Service good; ambience just fine. Lunch, we are told, is completely different. Sally and I will try...to get there for lunch and report on that. Dinner is outstanding!!!!More

I had a great time having dinner here with friends. Very helpful and friendly waitstaff. Interesting environment with a Tv to watch sports games on.

Had chef friends not told us about this place I would never had gone in. But am I glad I did. One of their chefs specializes in Thai cuisine and the other is a sushi chef. Both menus are creative and have great tasting dishes....From the sushi side the silver roll and special salmon sushi were amazing. Every Thai dish is delicious and properly seasoned. Do not miss the fried chicken with basil, pad Thai, any curry dish, and drunken noodles. Can not wait to go back to try dishes we missed.More

My daughter noticed in her Uber and Lyft pools that everyone was stopping here - in the middle of Longwood. We are visiting for 6 weeks from Oakland where we have our pick of some very good food. This is the real deal and at...price that makes it a steal. We were a party of 5, inter-generational Chinese picky eaters. All five different mains that we ordered were devoured. No weird food colorings or overly sweet tastes which can be a common problem at Thai places. Just great flavors and fresh food. Did I mention that their desserts are mini art forms? My aunt who professes to not like art, exclaimed how beautiful the desserts were. Even though she adamantly stayed she did not want dessert, she fought the rest of us for a piece of it. We decided the lychee mousse was better than the coconut ice cream but only by a vote of 3 to 2. They were even more delicious than they looked if that is possible - not overly sweet. At half a mile from the MFA, this place is a keeper. Just make sure you go online and make a reservation or you might be sad.More
