Absolutely delicious can't wait to try more dishes. Great service and the ambiance with very pleasant.

All around good Thai food. Everything was done well. Nothing exceptional, but even more important nothing done badly. If the spring rolls had been better I might have given the the fifth star. read more

My first meal there with the family about a year or so ago was great. We had pad thai, chicken satays, and curry and it was all delicious. Recently, they've gone downhill. In our last meal, the sticky rice that came out in a bamboo casing was rock hard as though they'd microwaved frozen and pre-prepared rice. The curry was cold and the meat was tough. The pork that we received was fatty and impossible to eat. The worst part was the drunken noodles that were hard and cold and wouldn't come apart. We ate about a quarter of the dish before we gave up because it was inedible. I can't believe I paid so much for such a mediocre meal. read more

Being a local business, we gave it a shot for the second time and were more disappointed than the first time. I am really surprised by the rave reviews because the food was very oily and not authentic tasting at all. Drunken noodles were ordered at spice level 2 (BTW how does one make sense of 7 spice levels?) and were literally sugary sweet. Basil fried rice on the other hand was ordered with spice level 1 and was quite hot (the way we expected it to be). In general the food was quite salty and got saltier as it cooled down. I think we won't be back again. The Chai Yen place in Watertown, albeit far, will remain our preferred Thai place for a bit. Having had tried Thai in other cities, really disappointed by the choices Boston area has on offer. read more

Been dining at the Lexington town center restaurants for years and in spite of the food bring great, the center was missing a restaurant that was more modern, quirky, classy and served good food at the same time; and so when Love at First Bite opened, it was a breath of fresh restaurant. The old thai place was one of our fav and had a pretty traditional menu, so we were intrigued to try the food here. The service was great throughout and the decor was definitely more bright and cheerful. Husband had the Thai Iced Tea and even though the flavor was great, the popsicle served on the top did not have a good use for us. The drink could easily do without it. The sweet chili wings are delicious and a must order. We also ordered their special of Bang Bang Cauliflower(not sure if this was the name). It was battered fried cauliflower that had absolutely no seasoning. The cauliflower pieces were too big and most of the pieces were not even crispy. I had to request a side of peanut sauce to make it edible. For the main, we shared Spicy Pad Thai with a side of Chicken Katsu. The Pad Thai was delicious and it was more sweet than spicy, but had a good flavor. The Chicken Katsu was tasty but a little bland with no salt at all. So all in all, some hits, some misses. Might have to go there again and try some other dishes. For now I give it 3.5 stars. read more

I love thai food but was a bit disappointed in this place. Haven't found a great thai place in Massachusetts yet. The curry was too watery, the fried rice had a weird color and taste was bland. Even after asking for everything to be spicy it wasn't even close to spicy. Bang bang cauliflower was too sweet. read more

Modern Thai restaurant with great selections of spicy and non-spicy dishes. Highly recommend the Thai ice tea, comes with a popsicle. read more

Pad Thai was amazing, service left a lot to be desired. They took forever to help us. Asked for menu they said to use QR code ... And a white couple came in and they were immediately offered menus and helped before us (* we are a black family) I was so disappointed. And even though food was really good, they will never see us again.. which is unfortunate because I order pad Thai a lot. read more

The food is delicious. I went to this restaurant with my friends and the food is so so good

What a wonderful place-highly recommended! My husband and I wandered around Lexington and found this gem for a date night. The ambience is great, the service is wonderful and the food is absolutely delicious! We decided to try the Thai iced tea POP, which was fun to drink! The Saigon fried rice was flavorful. We also tried the grilled pork with sticky rice and the pork was so tender. We have already planned to come back! Just word of advice, prepare to wait if you come at peak dinner time. They were quite accommodating but we could tell this was a very popular spot in the area for dinner on a Friday night. read more

This was my first time trying Love at first Bite Thai food and Bar. I live in the Lowell area and the Thai food there isn't so great. I decided to travel outside my surrounding area and try this Thai place that my friend was raving about. I'm so glad that I went today to give it a try. The inside decor was fun and creative. The staff and customer service was very exceptional. The food tasted amazing. Very fresh and hot. The plating was beautiful. My favorite were the drinks. They had cool looking drinks alcohol and non alcohol. Aside from the food the restroom was very clean and smelt nice. I was astonished because who doesn't love a clean restroom. I'll be back again and again because I think I found my favorite Thai spot. read more

I was very very excited to try their food. Let's put it this way, I did not hate it but there is definitely room for improvement. The good: ambiance and decor Service was lovely Food cane in fast Full bar Thai ice tea pops- delicious The not so good: Everything we ordered was way too sweet. You don't need to get a desert because you are stuffed with sugar by the end of your main course Mango Curry was super watery O LOT of items on the menu but everything kindda tastes the same- super sweet and spicy Salt rim on a Thi ice tea margarita was NOT a GOOD! Idea! I would give them another try though read more

I would say this place has a vefancy way of presenting food; very impressive. For example: The rice was served in a half coconut shell instead of a bowl. The food here is very unique and is very different than other Thai places in the Boston City. Food: If you like coconut, then I would recommend not missing on the Tom Kha kai soup; it is delicious. Tom Yom soup is also very nice and is much different than conventional Tom Yom soup. In entree, Avacado curry, Tamarind Tofu, Jay Mee Sua, and Evil Tofu and soy nugget are very good. If you have a sweet palette then Tarmarind Tofu is something that I would recommend. Their Soy Nugget is very soft and delightful. The service was super too. Overall I would definitely visit this place again if I am in the area. read more

Adding Love at First Bite to my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. It has a diverse selection of dishes, ranging from the classics to the signatures that I have never had in other Thai restaurants before. To start, my hubby and I tried their "Kra Tong Thong," which is a pastry cup filled with chicken, carrots, and peas served on an individual, beautifully shaped Thai spoon. For entreé, we opted in for the "Taro rice" and "Spicy pad thai", which both were delicious. The taro rice had taros, mushrooms and sausages on it with some tasty sauce on top - quite filling for a one-person meal. The spicy pad thai was perfect: not too wet, not greasy, yet still had the spices that would kick your tastebuds. Note: this restaurant is on a pricier side, so don't be alarmed with a $15 pad thai on a relatively small plate. I would definitely come back to check out their other dishes! Advanced RSVP is recommended during busy lunch/dinner hours. read more

I ordered takeout. We were in a rush and I did not open the summer roll description if I had, I definitely wouldn't have ordered it and unfortunately it was just as described shredded iceberg, lettuce, a few strands of cabbage, and nothing else. What a waste for nine dollars. Don't get it! . The only flavor is from the sweet-and-sour dipping sauce - -no cucumber. sprouts,rice noodles, carrots, mint or any other flavors or textures. Fortunately the crab rangoons and the two pad Thai dishes were excellent. read more

Very Expensive compared to other Thai places for what you get and just totally not worth it in my opinion. I had Pad Thai, sub par & chicken coconut soup, which was just okay, and hot tea. For Ambiance---They sat us by a pole and there was plenty of other better seating available. Service was fine. Went for lunch and bill for two was so much more than dinner at otherThai restaurants that I've been to. Totally would not go back. Keep your money in your pocket versus spending it here. . read more

This is a great, small restaurant to check out. I went here with a group and the host staff were really nice and accommodating. I would recommend making a reservation, because they do fill up. There is a variety of food for all tastes and many are sharable. The place is cozy and clean and the drinks are amazing. read more

Love at First Bite - Thai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

Good thai place for lunch if you are in the area. Ordered Singapore Noodles and Crazy Roll for apps. The thai ice tea is usual, but they have a little fun with it by sticking a thai tea popsicle with it. read more

A cute local Thai restaurant. We came here and wanted to try the Thai tea popsicle drink. Although there wasn't anything extraordinary, it was definitely an experience. For about $4.75, you get a big glass of Thai tea. The service felt a little bit rushed when we needed some time to look at the menu. Overall, the food came quickly. I would come back again to try other things on the menu. The food was good, but there were some dishes that were better than the others. read more

I have been here twice for lunch and there are many reasons one should go here. I look at the speed of service when I go somewhere for lunch. I am usually in a rush and I want things to come out quickly. They are super efficient with time and they are not messing around. The lunch portions are judicious in size too. Not too small but large enough to take a tiny doggie bag home. I have had the Indonesian fried rice, pineapple fried rice and spicy beef lunch entree. Lastly, their Thai iced teas are just wow! It comes with a popsicle!!! The only downside is that they pack a less authentic flavor than a lot of the other Thai places I've tried. Just a smidge low on the acid and spice. read more

After many months Lemon Grass has been transformed into Love @ First Bite. When you walk in you immediately notice the aesthetics of the space. So much thought and detail have been put into this place so within 30 seconds of being inside you want to love it. Wallpaper, lighting, chandeliers, neon signage all make this space fun and exciting to be in. With that comes the food. The menu has changed but not to where it's too different, just elevated. You have a lunch menu and a main menu, both that feature Thai food that you love. We came on opening day for lunch and it was delicious. If you like Thai you will love the food. Everything tasted fresh and delicious and our party of 3 walked out very happy with our experience. We are local residents and work in town so this will certainly be a place we will come to again and again. read more

I wanted to see for myself if this place was as good or as bad as Yelpers say. Sometimes it's so difficult to determine when the range is from horrible to awesome for the same restaurant. The decor has a nice, fun vibe to it. The restaurant was also clean including the ladies room. It was pretty packed around noon with only a few tables left. Either a bunch of people took Friday off for a 4-day weekend or this is what the typical lunch crowd is like. The food was beautifully presented. I had the drunken noodles with tofu and my friend had the pineapple fried chicken with chicken. We both enjoyed our meals. I overheard the people seated to my left and to my right; they also said their food was good. Ultimately, this is not a place I would rush to but certainly my experience was not so awful that I would never go back. **Ladies: Please note, if you have to use the loo, make sure you do so before you gather your things to leave. The ladies room is large, clean and honestly very nicely decorated but they don't have a coat/purse hook at the door. If you are someone who doesn't want to throw your coat, handbag, etc on the floor or I don't know, hold all the crap you lugged in then I suggest you tinkle while you have someone watch your things (assuming you are dining with someone). read more

Every time we go to Love, whether take out or eat in, we have a great experience Our favorite though is to sit at the bar. Great drinks and menu with attentive and enthusiastic service! read more

Delicious fresh food. The atmosphere is very unique. Service excellent and very friendly.

Pad Thai, salt and pepper calamari, gyoza are all good but drinks are sometimes slow to come.

We have primarily eaten take out. I have yet to have a bad dish from Love at First Bite. I am a bit superstitious to write this review because I feel lucky to have this place so near by. I think that I like the food because the seasons and preparations are well balanced and not overbearing. You can taste the freshness come through in each even on the spiciest offerings. read more

The restaurant was clean and nice. The wait staff was friendly. Unfortunately the food was just so-so - especially for the price. You can find much better food at a better price point within the greater Boston area. Presentation of the food was great. The spicy pad Thai was too wet and tomato flavored. Masaman curry had tender good chicken but the flavor was a bit flat. Also Thai tea "pop" the popsicle was very watered down so I don't quite get the point of it. Solid 3.2 stars. read more

Nice food presentation and that's where all the positives stop. Food was way below average. The drunken noodles we ordered barely had any noodles and was filled with veggies and dry soggy chicken (we had ordered crispy chicken). The kua kling was bland and very gingery and the triple delight was the blandest of the lot. Satay was a joke. If you are looking for good food thai food, look elsewhere. read more

Our group made a reservation for 6:30. Then when we arrive she tells us we have to leave the table in 1hr 15 mins! ---She should told us that from the start.--- Now that we're there with no other plans they TRAP us into having a short rushed dinner. We had to order all food and drinks at once, received it all at once, and was asked to pay and leave in an hour. Also the food was expensive and midland quality. I never give reviews, but this was OUTRAGEOUS! read more

Really great food and even better vibe. Service is good too. Will be back there for sure

Ordered takeout for the first time. Great service and Thai iced tea but the food was disappointing. The crispy chicken in the pad see ew was tough and the noodles were pretty flavorless. read more

Pad See ew (Drunken Noodles) was a bit mushy and bland, but edible. The steamed broccoli was perfectly steamed, not too firm, not too soft. The veggie gyoza was the best part. Good flavor and texture. read more

Love at First Bite - Quick Bite for Lunch! - Thai Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

The food is generally good -- fresh and well prepared with nice presentation, including a mini orchid atop your drink or salad. Two reasons for the less than five-star rating: 1- The aloof demeanor of the staff. A smile and a simple "Enjoy your meal" from the server would have made us feel like less of a burden. 2- The sticky rice (which I was really looking forward to as its one of my favorite Asian sides) was a huge disappointment. We opened the enticing container only to find that it had been cooked and wrapped in plastic wrap! -- neither appetizing nor healthy. read more

The ambience was dazzling and the service was five-star. The food was incredible. You couldn't ask for more in a restaurant. We went here for lunch and got the spicy vegetable pad Thai and the vegetable coconut curry. Both done perfectly. Bravo, Love at First Bite! read more

Love at First Bite - Vegetable curry - Thai Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

Was told pickup for my takeout order would be 6:50. I didn't leave the restaurant with my food until 7:40. The waiting area was packed with customers who were also waiting and the orders were not coming out in order. They said they had too many orders placed but if that's the case, shut down online ordering??? It was ridiculous. They were continuing to seat people who had no reservations while all of us are waiting on food. I chose this place because of the wait time online so I could get back to my 5 month old baby. I was gone over an hour. Never will I come here again. read more

I've never had anything at this restaurant that wasn't first rate. I have strayed off of the tried and true Thai options on the menu and it just gets better. read more

I thought the tofu chicken pad tai was great. The tofu was cooked just right. I might not come back for a while, though, because the takeout containers were plastic. It's easy to get the eco-friendly cardboard takeout containers without the plastic lining now. There are other restaurants that are going more compostible. read more

If you're vegetarian and love Thai food, this is the place for you. Unlike other places where you have to still request vegetarian dishes without the fish sauce, here they take that for granted. Also, they don't just have tofu replacements. All their dishes can be made with a variety of vegetarian proteins. ... and everything on the menu tastes amazing. The decor is beautiful and the plates they bring out look like works of art. read more
