    krua thai was pretty good! i got take out and ordered the tofu pad see ew - the portion size was good, but they gave slightly less than other thai restaurants. nothing on their menu is more than $20, which i find amazing (especially nowadays). the restaurant is quite small but it wasn't too busy when i went around 7pm on a weekday. they don't have a bathroom for customers. service was quick and their employees are very kind. overall rating: 8/10

    This is the worst pad Thai

    It's close to Thai food- I mean the fish sauce was overpowering so much to make it inedible. There was a curry in the red curry- no cream, no spices. The pineapple fried rice had the distinct flavor of dirt. Fried spring rolls were over fried and filled with a paste of unknown origin. I won't be going back.

    andaman salmon, pad thai, pineapple fried rice, shrimp satay with a stray vegetable spring roll, beef satay. All excellent (and half-eaten!)

    Living in Concord MA there are few good Thai places within a 30-45 minute drive. Among the 8 or so options, this is the absolute best you will find! Great menu, good flavor, consistent quality, fair prices. And they're super friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

    The food was excellent! We're so surprised that they didn't Americanize the dishes as you would expect in a town like Natick. We got noodle dishes and everything was evenly coated with delicious sauce. This little Thai joint is definitely a hidden gem. There's a small dining area inside but I think most do take out. We decided to eat in and everything was just cooked and seasoned to perfection.

    Cute, clean and very tiny place that I stopped by for dinner with my boyfriend on a Saturday evening. Lots of people stopped by to pick up their dinner while we were eating, which definitely speaks to their popularity! The food is good and the service is fast and friendly. You can also see the cooks in the kitchen, which is cool, and I liked the mellow music they were playing. I had the chicken Penang curry, and bf had the Krua Thai fried rice. We also had fresh shrimp rolls for appetizer, which comes with peanut sauce and chili sauce. The rolls were tasty and fresh, and the sauces were delicious too - the chili sauce was sweet with a sour kick! My Penang curry was spicy in a warm way (1 chili pepper on the spicy eating in the menu), with a full flavor. The chicken was tender and I liked the vegetables in the curry. You do need to order the rice separately for dinner, though. I had enough to bring some home. The Krua Thai fried rice was really good with a comfy flavor! It's got a lot of sliced onions, so you can probably ask them to remove it when you order if you don't like that. We didn't order any drinks but I saw a lot of people having their Thai iced tea. I hope to stop by here more when I'm in Natick!

    RiceBurg Wellesley is a casual restaurant that combines Asian-inspired flavors with a burger…read moreconcept using rice buns instead of traditional bread. We walked into a bright, modern space with a straightforward setup that keeps the focus on the food. The interior is clean and functional, designed around counter service and quick turnover, and the energy stays casual and approachable throughout the meal. It feels like the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick meal without the formality of a sit-down restaurant, and the steady flow of customers reflects its popularity as a neighborhood spot for something different. The rice burgers are the main highlight. We ordered the chicken katsu rice burger and found the rice buns gave the burger a different texture, making it feel lighter than a traditional burger while still being filling. The rice held together well and provided a subtle nuttiness that complemented the crispy chicken and savory sauce. The sauces and toppings matched the rice base naturally, and the combination of textures, from the crispiness of the chicken to the softness of the rice buns, made each bite feel balanced and satisfying. The bowls are also a solid choice if you prefer something more traditional, with options like katsu and bulgogi-style flavors that offer the same Asian-inspired profile in a more familiar format. The katsu bowl came with a generous portion of crispy chicken over rice, topped with a rich sauce and fresh vegetables, and the bulgogi bowl offered a savory, slightly sweet flavor that held up well against the rice and vegetables. The fries and sides are another strong part of the menu. They have a more unique style compared to typical fast-food fries, with a light crispness and seasoning that made them stand out, and they paired well with the main dishes. The menu has enough variety that you can come back and try different items instead of feeling limited to just the rice burgers. Service was friendly, and the food came out efficiently, with the staff handling the steady flow during peak times without making the experience feel rushed. RiceBurg is a fun take on fusion comfort food. The rice burgers, creative flavors, and variety of options make it stand out from typical burger spots, offering a meal that feels familiar yet distinct, and a place worth visiting when you want something with a different twist.

    Great quality and creative options. Chicken katsu curry and scallion pancakes were fantastic.read more

    First few visits back after they reopened after fire damage were good. All weeknight dinner visits…read more -- Har Gow: Shrimp dumplings fresh and flavorful, but the vessels were so gummy they stuck to each other and the serving tin. Average. -- Beef Teriyaki: A four-stick serving had bumpy, lightly-charred and lightly sweet surfaces, along with good tenderness underneath. Decent marinade flavor. Above average to well above average. -- Mongolian Beef: An outstanding presentation of beef slivers thick enough to be tender, while also getting nicely crisp and a vigorous flavor superior to the teriyaki. Scallions added some extra kick in addition to the sauce. Really good feel and really good taste bring it really close to elite. -- Pork Fried Rice: Lovers of dark pork fried rice are in for a treat, because this is among the darkest and has dark flavor to match. Fresh, hot, not a reheat, and not sitting for hours. I could do without the peas, but all of the other additions-- egg, onion, bean sprouts, and big chunks of fresh pork-- were top notch. A benchmark rice if you're into this style. Elite. -- Chicken with Ginger and Scallion: Long and winding chicken with good tenderness and noticeable ginger flavor, with bold scallions the unsung hero. Closer to a very good dish than a great dish, but bonus points for being neither sweet nor spicy, but still bringing plenty of flavor. -- Chicken Fried Rice: Another example of bold, dark, fresh-cooked rice, this time with chicken. I was expecting shreds and got finger-length pieces that were much more impressive. Elite. -- Boneless Ribs: Lightly lacquered with shiny cross sections, so they were moist, but a bit fatty. Above average for sure, but not elite or close like some other dishes. -- Chicken Fingers: Fresh, hot, and crisp, with some small ones less dazzling, but most pleased. Good meat-to-batter ratio. Optional sweet and sour sauce add-on did dazzle, coming in sweet but dark ruby color and complex. Not your daddy's sauce; this didn't have pineapples and cherries but it did have more flavor. -- Chicken Teriyaki: Charring, coating, tenderness, juiciness, and marinade all combined to make this one of the better renditions. Well above average to near elite. -- Yuen Yang Beef: Very impressive dish, from the quantity, to the textures (perfect on both the beef and the bed of string beans), to the flavors (savory-tingly on the beef, though without much heat, and gingery on the string beans). -- Duck Sauce: Barely a variation from straight apple sauce. Not a strength. Only negative on service is that sometimes one server handles the entire dining room, so there might be waits, but even still, service is always friendly and efficient. This place sometimes gets a bad rap for being expensive, but I believe the quality warrants the prices and that there's good value thanks to execution and consistency.

    Last few orders have been very inconsistent. Salmon sashimi is no longer great. And last general…read moregau's chicken randomly included a lemon rind (I think) and a piece of ripped cardboard/paper from a rice container (which is weird since the chicken takeout comes in a plastic container). Paying $150 for that kind of quality is just not something I will do again. Doing three stars as we had plenty of great experiences as well. But recent orders have me looking for sushi elsewhere.

    I absolutely love this place! My husband and I love the food and we can't resist having a drink…read morethere they make them so good. The service is wonderful and we have our favorite waiter jayson. We have moved out of state and whenever we get back in Massachusetts we have to go. We really enjoy sitting at the bar but the whole restaurant is very nice and spotless.

    Horrendous (and frankly racist) service and really weirdly prepared dishes. The server seated us…read moreand gave us menus. She came back a bit later with some chips for the table and sauces. We asked if the entrees came with rice and she answered and were about to place our order and she walks away to attend to someone else? Would have taken less than 30 seconds and there wasn't anything emergent that needed tending to. Comes back, takes the order (hunan crispy fish and shrimp with ginger and scallion) and the dishes are somehow out in 5-10 minutes. She practically throws the shrimp and side of rice on the table and walks away. Doesn't ask if we need anything else (we wanted chili oil). Another server brings the fish dish and asks if we need anything who we then inform about our request. The original one then comes by and throws the sauce on the table again. The shrimp dish was heavy in red onions and barely had ginger or scallion. The sauce tasted like soy sauce and a starch slurry with nothing else added and it was way too salty. The fish was weirder. It had a breading on it instead of a cornstarch/potato starch batter. The sauce also did not taste like oyster sauce and it tasted like the sauce sautéed with veggies was added at the end so nothing melded together.with the fish. The sauce was overly sweet. Some customers left the table next to us and she sat down in their empty seats and starts looking at her Apple watch. She never once filled up our waters but did for the other customers and did ask if they needed anything else and gingerly places dishes on their table. Felt extremely racist. Avoid this place. Acting like a high school student forced to work a summer job and begrudgingly doing so except she was much older, immature, at best rude, and at worst, racist.
