Sanryoka(@thaiamarin) - Newton

This place should really have 5 stars. As a self proclaimed Thai food connoisseur, I have been here SEVERAL times and the food is consistent, flavorful, and executed gracefully.The classic Thai noodles here (pad see ew, pad kee mao, pad thai) are packed with authentic flavor. Portions are excellent.They have a variety of interesting entree dishes (chicken, duck, beef etc). I have tried several and they are always excellent and complimentary. I highly recommend the fish fillets. So crispy and seasoned well.The sushi here is also amazing. Fish quality is fresh, smooth, and fatty.Large, open space perfect for families or get togethers. Ambiance is relaxing with jazz playing in the background. Service is also great, waiters are attentive and kind.Such a hidden gem in Newton!

The spinach tofu noodles were really good... and even better cold the next day. Great flavor in their food and nice ambience!

The Thai food is really flavorful! Wait staff was very friendly and helpful while recommends several great dishes to us. My friend and I went on one of the coldest days in the winter, and the restaurant was not very well insulated, so we had our winter coats on throughout the whole meal. The wait staff was very apologetic. Hopefully this can be improved soon! We didn't get a chance to try their Japanese menu, but will definitely return for Thai dishes!!

The chicken mango curry was really good with big chucks of mango. You need to order rice on the side. The Thai iced tea was so good too.

Had the lunch green curry with shrimp. It was delicious. I appreciated that on GrubHub they give you the option to specify how hot you want it. I went with Extremely spicy. Unfortunately it did not make me cry. It didn 't even make me sweat a drop. So if you 're a fellow masochist, you 're likely going to have to be very adamant about the fact that you really want it to hurt. Because while delicious, it certainly was not Extremely spicy. Also the shrimp isn 't the move. They use little baby shrimp. Next time I 'm gonna go with chicken. And the dinner curry is $1.00 more than the lunch curry. I 'm assuming the dinner portion is larger than the lunch, as the lunch was quite small.So why 4 stars after these gripes? Potential. That 's why. If it were hotter and a larger portion, it would definitely be 5 star material. And I think both of those things are achievable. Unless you 're insistent on getting shrimp, in which case you should probably look elsewhere.
