Brown Sugar Cafe

My favorite Thai restaurant in the area is Brown Sugar Cafe at 1033 Comm Ave in Allston. Their menu is huge. You can get the tried and true or venture out with one of their more exotic dishes that you may not find elsewhere. For years, its been the place to go for Thai, so be prepared to wait. They also deliver, good for those cold 7 degree Boston days!


Last weekend, I went there with a group of friends before heading to a benefit in the city. It felt a little like prom, sitting there in a Vera Wang dress eating a $15 a person meal (including tip and tax) but it was delicious as always. To start, you can't go wrong with any their appetizers or soups. If you like cilantro, their Tom Yum Goong has a good kick to it. The pan fried Thai ravioli and Tofu Triangles are always a hit. I personally love their Pad Thai which is light and flavorful, a must order in my book. However, going with a with a group allows me to sample different options. Over the years, I have enjoyed their yellow curry dishes, their Sweet and Sour chicken and shrimp, their Mango Fried Rice, and the Pad See Ew, to name a few. With the menu as expansive as it is, one could never get bored.

So next time you are craving Thai, head to Allston.
