Excellent food and ambiance. Beautiful restaurant with the best gyoza and best pad Thai my husband has ever had. I ordered the veggie curry with berry rice. It was delicious AND beautifully served in a beautiful copper bowl on a stand. Such a lovely experience. We cannot wait to come back and try more! 4/29 - we went a second time last night and I ordered the vegetarian dumplings. They were to die for. Green pasta wrapped with veggies lightly fried. They were crispy and delicate and delicious. Cannot wait to go back. Can I give this place six stars???????!!!!!!!! read more

Went here for a quick bite with a friend. Sat at the bar, I immediately loved the ambiance and decor as soon as I sat down. Staff was friendly and attentive. This place has that extra something that you are looking for when you dine out! They are detailed and add in extra effort to make the food and drink special! I would recommend this place for a cozy and romantic date night! read more

Went on Saturday for lunch. This time we tried out Fried Brussel Sprouts. I am not a big fan of brussel sprouts but this was one was the exception. Smoked salted and bit oiled up. Came In a small basket with the sprouts in the newspaper. I love how they set up their dishes. They dont give it with any sauce but if you ask for sweet and sour sauce this definitely goes well with it. Boyfriend had the taro rice with Sausage and Chicken and he is still raving about it. The pad Thai was good.. wouldn't say exceptional though. But I will repeat that it's the best damn Thai place I have been in Massachusetts! read more

Fabulous new Thai restaurant in Lexington center! Small but great ambience and decor, playful and elegant. Food was delicious, and presented beautifully. Lots of authentic Thai dishes. Maybe not all of your typical Thai favorites, a great place to branch out and try new things. Generous portion sizes and great attention to detail like flowers garnishing the cocktails. Highly recommend! read more

Best Thai foods in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The name is as good as it tests.

Literally my favorite Thai restaurant! The food is delicious. My favorite is the spicy pad Thai and my mom loves the black pepper haddock. It's perfect for eating there (nice setup and cool mural on the wall) or taking food to go. Their Thai iced tea comes with a yummy popsicle. Love this place and definitely recommend! read more

Fun atmosphere and decor. Food is delicious and service is friendly and attentive, but not overly so. Will definitely return for family dinner and a girls night out. Definitely will work for both types of outings. read more

We ordered for delivery. 1) The food came at 5:15, not 5:45 as I ordered. My order confirmation email and also the receipt on the bag both note this as the expected time. 2) The order came wrong, with 2 orders of Tofu Prik Gleua and no order of Tamarind Tofu. When I called, the person I spoke with said they would call me back, but did not. I was glad to have the delivery person arrive about half an hour later with the Tamarind Tofu order, but it would have been nice to know to expect that to happen. We had to warm the food up in order to eat it all together and although the food was good: 1) The Tofu Prik Gleua was not as described on the menu. It had bell peppers and onions which were not on the menu description, and no fresh chili, cilantro or garlic, as the menu describes. In fact, it looked very much like what is described as Evil Tofu and Soy Nugget with onion, bell pepper, and scallions (although there was no soy nugget). This would have been a very different tasting dish with garlic and cilantro; as it was, both tofu dishes tasted very similar. 2) The Tamarind Tofu was also not as described on the menu, with no cauliflower and also with the addition of bell peppers as well as chilis. 3) The Pad Thai included soy chicken nugget (or at least that's what I think it was) which was also not noted on the menu. Since one of us is not able to eat bell peppers, they could not eat the tofu dishes. I have heard very good things about the restaurant and the food was good (although again, both tofu dishes tasted very similar) but I would not want to order delivery again if this is a typical delivery experience. I did try reaching out to the owner with this feedback but never heard anything back. read more

Terrible establishment. I ordered takeout and went to pick it up at the specified time. During the 20 minutes I then waited, I couldn't so much as get anyone to tell me how much longer it would take. They'd say they would check and then immediately take a phone order or disappear into the kitchen with no apparent intention of coming out. I finally gave up and left. Will be asking for a refund. read more

I have eaten here or had takeout four times and I have never been impressed. The decor and atmosphere is beautiful, but the food is overpriced and mediocre. The first time I ordered the Nuer Nam Mun Hoi and it was really bland and not flavorful at all. The next time I ordered the Salmon and Jumbo Shrimp Choo Chee, which was one large shrimp on top of a small piece of salmon for $24. It was supposed to be spicy, but it was quite mild. Then, I ordered the Mango Crispy Chicken for takeout and the chicken was extremely chewy and tough to eat. I ate a little and threw the rest out. Last, I ordered the Khao Soi Salmon and it was a chunk of salmon, which came on a blob of egg noodles smothered in curry sauce. I ate the salmon and left the noodles. The curry sauce was overpowering. I preferred Lemon Grass, despite the food not being stellar and the decor and ambiance not as inviting. It was also more family friendly. read more

Was hoping for more from this newly renovated restaurant, as Lexington needs some good options and this is one of my favorite types of restaurants. It could also be that they need more time to get their act together from a service perspective. Some of the staples you'd expect, like Tom Young Goong and Pad Thai are on the menu, but others, like Yum Nua, aren't there. The pad thai we received was seasoned well but the chicken was really tough. I'll likely be back once more to see if they've been able to up their game, but for now, there are better options in the area for Thai. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! I went there couple of weeks ago to pick up a take out order simply because I was trying to catch a show across the street. When I arrived, I saw a bar tender busy mixing drinks and another waitress busy serving tables. I waited there for over 5 minutes, nothing happened. Then three customers came and stood behind me waiting for a table. Another waitress suddenly appeared and starting to greet them and asking how many people in the group, just like I was totally transparent. Even after another customer reminded her that I was there first. I was shocked and also was really in a hurry, so I called directly to her: Hey! I am here. When she finally turned to me, 10 minutes already passed , She did not smile to me, did not say "sorry for the wait", and did not say anything! She just waited for me to start. I had no time to waste on complaining that day. So I just paid for my take out and left. I was outraged by this arrogant attitude. Also a friend's group "enjoyed" similar treatment the other day while dining in. I don't know what I did wrong to deserve this treatment. Just because my skin color happened to be the same as hers?! I am very disappointed to see this Anti-Asian attitude in an Asian restaurant. read more

Love at First Bite - Thai iced tea! - Thai Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

Lexington needed a nice, new, fresh restaurant and this is it! The Thai food is out of this world. Possibly better than some of the food I had in Thailand while I was there for a few weeks. The staff is extremely attentive and want to make sure your dining experience is great. The cocktail list is awesome. They have authentic Thai drinks and also great, inventive cocktails! Also, a nice beer and wine list. The decor is some of the best I have seen. The wood paneled ceiling and the light fixtures are beautiful. It looks like a trendy, Harvard Sq. Restaurant! Now to the food- we had the fried Brussel sprout appetizer l, good but not OMG amazing. I would still get it again. We also had the squid appetizer. It was very good. My husband had a pork entree (I forget the name but he said it was awesome and he's pretty critical) I had the crispy duck- spicy, but oh, so amazing that I couldn't stop eating it! The duck came with a side of "berry rice". I have no idea what type of rice it was, but it was purple in color, tasted nothing like a berry, but was awesome and complimented the duck and the sauce perfectly! I will be back to try more things by next week! Thank you for bringing such a great restaurant to Lexington. We needed it! read more

Green curry was not good with dark meat chicken and sweet potato. Tom ka Kai not very tasty either. Cauliflower was a hit as were gyoza. Wish this had been better. We won't order from here again read more

Very poor quality food , uncooked red bloody chicken am burnt rice , good ambience but food sucked

Excellent food and the flavors are very authentic. Delicious yellow curry and drunken noodles. Very good serving size, quick service. Highly recommend for take outs. read more

They food is amazing!! The atmosphere is amazing and not to mention they have parking in the back. I only dropped the 5th star cuz the service was just ok not great but everything else was 5 stars. read more

We ate here for the first time recently - but we will plan to go back again soon!! The decor is funky and fun - service was good and the food was fantastic! We especially enjoyed the Thai iced tea served with a popsicle! Highly recommend. read more

This is hands down our favorite restaurant in lexington. Every meal is wonderful, crispy shrimp and seafood yellow curry are two favorites. Crazy rolls and satay are both terrific appetizers, and the Thai Iced tea with popsicle is so unusual and delicious! Great atmosphere! We are doing take out these days, always hot, on time and wonderfully prepared. read more

This was hands down the BEST Thai food I have ever had in all of the US...everyone is super friendly and helpful...we are very excited to come back and try more! read more

We came here when we first moved here back when it was Lemongrass which was very good. NOW they took it up to 11!! Every dish we had was amazing. How we got a table with a baby and with out a reservation was a clutch move but I definitely recommend taking a reservation as the place was packed...for good reason!! read more

This was very disappointing. The food had no flavor and was not edible. We had takeout and had to throw out most of our dinner. So disappointed. Even hard to screw up food like chicken satay was so bland and tasteless. read more

First visit and it far exceeded my expectations. The redesign is very nice, though some of the tables are small. Service was very attentive and the food was yummy. Highly recommend the Avocado curry (comes with half an avocado)and the crazy rolls. read more

Great addition to the area. Beautiful room (with a bar), nice fresh dishes - mostly Thai- with lots of choices. We ordered two of their curry offerings (avocado and vegetable) and the Indonesian fried rice was delicious. I am looking forward to coming back!! read more

Tried this place for the first time on their second weekend. We had a reservation for 7 people and were seated on time. The whole squid was very large and delicious. The avocado curry was nicely spiced yet not over powered with competing flavors. The decor is modern and unexpected for Thai place. We will be back! read more

Love at First Bite serves the BEST thai food in the area. You can't go wrong with almost any dish on their incredibly diverse menu--the massaman curry, khao soi salmon, drunken noodles, any of the special dishes, Indonesian fried rice, mango crispy chicken are all favorites. I would say that the pad thai is not the best pad thai that you could get from a Thai restaurant, but everything else is a hit. The service is so warm and friendly, and works their best to get all the food out to you on time. Very accommodating and wonderful people. Will definitely be back often. read more

Provides edible food, but at stratospheric prices. More worth it to go to Somerville/Cambridge area for better quality food and fair pricing. I feel like I just lost a lot of money and got ripped off. read more

I know the food is great here, but the customer service is not great. I called in for pick up tonight, and placed my order. The hostess then asked what my tip should be--I replied "I am picking up my order, why would I tip?" She then just hung up on me! How rude. I know restaurants are struggling and we have many options, the fact that she is annoyed that I don't tack on a tip for doing nothing will stop me from doing business with them in the future. Everyone is struggling right now to keep business going and I feel this disrespect and attitude is so annoying. It is overpriced to begin with. I definitely will be going to Rice Cube (another local Thai place) in the future. read more

Former location of Lemongrass, with completely redone interior, and a new menu. The decor is quite tasteful, with wonderful attentive service. The food is very flavorful and well presented. My only criticism would be the insistence on serving jasmine berry rice and not offering a white rice option. While I don't find the berry rice as objectionable as some of the other "healthy" rices I've tried before, I prefer the taste and texture of regular jasmine rice. read more

Had no expectation. They were open and I was hungry so I ordered. Food was soooo good!!! Now I must go back to try additional items.

My wife is Thai and we have Thai cuisine, both at home and out, nearly every meal. Love at First Bite may be the best Thai restaurant in Boston; certainly among the best, with Manow in Newton and Cha Yen in Watertown being the competition for the honor. The menu is without question the most extensive of any local Thai restaurant. The presentation is without peer. Very good service as well. I look forward to going back. read more

I spend several months a year in Northern Thailand and eat lots of amazing local food. This restaurant is owned and operated by lovely talented Thai chefs and staff. Their veggie and non veggie dishes are fresh and delicious. Lots of Thai places in the Boston area but few are authetic. THIS one is. Het here- you will not be disappointed! read more

Lemongrass was better. Same menu and pricing as previously but the portions are smaller. Disappointing replacement to a great place

Discovered a new Thai place in Lexington center thanks to yelp! Authentic but with a modern twist. Highly recommend the pad Thai and drunken noodle. Service was great and I love that the Thai Iced tea comes with a popsicle! read more

1st impression of Love at 1st Bite, the new restaurant in Lexington Center... 5 stars. The décor is excellent with fine finishes all around, from the tiled walls to the wood paneled ceiling. The food was both tasty and well presented. We had the pad Thai and the Indonesian chicken dishes and both were fantastic. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this romantic corner spot. read more

excellent spot for vegetairans, they have a curry too, usually restaurants cant me curries without the fish sauce. really enjoyed their drunkard noodles and thai ice tea pop was so creative read more

Salmon dinner was great. Drinks perfect. Service VERY slow. Went for lunch. Not sure why it took so long and will try it again as food was yummy. read more

Just had a fabulous lunch here. They were willing and able to accommodate my need for an extremely low sodium meal deliciously. The branzini was perfectly cooked (moist flesh with some crisp to the skin), the brussel sprouts delightfully crispy, and my daughter particularly loved the popsicle in the thai ice tea POP. So excited about this wonderful addition to the dining scene in Lexington! read more
