Just wanted to update my review for this place, since many people have questions about places to go for great food in the pandemic. I love the food from here (everything I've had I've liked - personal favorites are the beef khao soi and the green curry!). Their takeout packaging is exceptional, which helps since I often pick it up on my walk home from work and carry it for a mile - no leakage or spillage, and everything is piping hot on arrival home even in the cold winter weather. The pick up process is very easy and minimal contact, so feel very comfortable getting food from them during the pandemic. The owner and workers are so friendly, and are committed to making awesomely delicious food, taking care of their community, and doing their part to keep folks safe & healthy. I can't recommend this place enough!! read more

I've always been weary of Asian restaurants that do multiple cuisines, but this one is an exception. I've had their pad krapow gai. Spicy, juicy, and fatty, just the way I like my Asian food. I've also had the bun cha. Pretty standard Vietnamese vermicelli. I feel like this dish is hard to make spectacular anywhere. No home run with this one but also not a disaster either. It did a good job of filling my Vietnamese craving a few weeks ago. Wish I could give this place a 3.5 stars as the food is better than your average Asian restaurant but the partial Vietnamese menu, partial Thai menu, etc. leaves me wanting more options of that cuisine and it's quite pricey. In the end, this restaurant definitely hits a cuisine of need in Central Square so I rounded up. read more

I really was surprised by how good this place is. I order the golden bag and short rib noodle and it is very unique and very good. The short rib noodle is 20 dollar which is a little pricey but it's pack of flavor and the short rib is very tender. The golden bag is like mini Somosa. I def will come back again and try their other dishes. read more

Delicious food and AMAZING service!! Our waiter was so kind and recommended all the best dishes. 10/10 and we will be back!

Amazing food, drinks and service. Made us forget how cold it was outside! Highly recommend

This place is the best Thai food I've had in Boston for sure. The owner is friendly, very nice and attentive. His Thai wife cooks and is a wonder chef! Must have the shumai-the best ever. All dishes are wonderful. Everything is so fresh and delicate seasonings and sauces. It'd recommend meat and vegetarian dishes a bit more than fish although is is all great. What a neighborhood gem. You must go!!! read more

We have now ordered from here multiple times for pick up and the food is always great. Familiar favorites have fresh ingredients and consistent quality. Street noodles, Pad Thai, Indonesian Fried Rice are favorites but anything from the special menu or the curries have been really good. read more

As I am moving away from Boston for the time being, I thought I should leave a review for one of my go-tos during my time here. I visited Mae three times, all before pandemic times, so I can only speak for pre-pandemic dining experiences. I tried the pad grapow gai, the mango sticky rice, the bánh mì lunch special. All were delicious. I would say this is not the place to visit for authentic dishes in each of the Asian country's cuisine. However, the dishes are carefully and considerately created. Definitely a good place to hit up in the Kendall/Central area - it represents Asian cuisine well, especially considering the lack of good Asian cuisine around that area. read more

Found this place after it was listed on Boston Eater and decided to check it out for a low key date night. I had the short rib and the missus had the boat noodles. Both dishes were excellent, possessing amazing flavors. Interior was clean and and the service was attentive and prompt. The chef owner has an awesome story too! Definitely coming back for more. read more

I always order take outs from this place and it is one of my favorite restaurants for asian food! Almost tried all the dishes. Everything is really good, you feel like you have made the food at home; not even a little greasy! Everything taste very good yet healthy! read more

Good authentic Thai food! Their crab rangoons were a bit too creamy for my taste and the mild option was still very spicy, but that might just be me! Overall really good though. read more

We ordered take out from here. We got the fried calamari, the Tom Yum Soup, the general tao's chicken, and the gyoza. It was half an hour late due to the restaurant not preparing it quickly and when it got here the food was not good. The portions were very small given the price. The calamari was not cooked all the way through and was inedible and really upset our stomachs. The general tso's chicken was mushy, flavorless, and not nearly as spicy as expected. The Tom Yum soup had a very strange flavor and it wasn't very good but it wasn't terrible. The gyoza were pretty good. But overall, not at all worth the price. We will not be returning here. read more

This place is amazing! My coworkers and I decided to come after work on a Friday and we all loved what we ordered. I got the spicy drunken crazy noodle and it was delicious and tasted really authentic. The owners are also very friendly and he told us all about their restaurant. One of the owners is half Thai and half Chinese and that's reflected in the menu. The service is also excellent and the portions were quite large. I will be coming back for sure! read more

While I've been wanting to check out this place, thanks to Covid-19 I had to try them via delivery. I placed my order online but was surprised to quickly get a call by the restaurant to confirm all the order details/modifications. The food was quickly prepared and delivery was much quicker than estimated. I ordered the Pad See Ew with beef which was very good. The food was warm and the serving size was decent so no complaints about the delivery. However, I still hope to stop by one of these days... read more

Loved the panang curry. Service was super fast and the staff was courteous. Looking forward to coming back!

This review is for delivery: The drunken noodles were too greasy and veggies were under cooked. The Tom Yum soup was inline with other restaurants I've had it before. It seemed like small amount for $7 price point. read more

Awesome so friendly and helpful with my order. Food was stellar and the service was fast. Will return for sure as good as it gets! read more

Really enjoyed my first visit here. Inside was cozy but exceptionally clean. I ordered the green curry chicken for lunch and was impressed with how flavorful it was (the meat was also very fresh). Portion size was on point. I'm no expert on Thai food, but having recently visited Thailand, I felt Mae's curry is as good as any that I've tried. Worth a visit. read more

My first restaurant review. We have been living in downtown Boston for the last 15 years and have always struggled to find a "go-to" Chinese take-out - accepting mediocrity for all these years. Until now. Everything from Mae's was above average, tasty, and flavorful. If you are struggling to find your "go-to" Chinese take out - don't take just my word - but the words of the yelpers here. read more

Cute Asian restaurant. I ordered Pad Thai for pickup through Yelp, but I think next time I will come and eat here as the restaurant itself is very nice with big windows. read more

The food is fresh, beautiful, flavorful, balanced, and cooked to perfection. The best way to order is to order a lot and share! You don't want to miss out on anything. Owners and staff are super friendly. If you're a party of 2, you'll most likely share a table with others, not a big deal. Metered Street parking and walkable from the red line. Get on over there and eat some perfectly cooked gyoza! read more

My husband I went here for dinner last night. What a hidden gem! I had the Indonesian Fried Rice and it was great! The crispy chicken it comes with was yummy!!! My husband had the spiciest meal on the menu - Pad Krapow Gai and he loved it! We also had spring rolls as an appetizer and they were incredibly fresh and stuffed with goodness. read more

Really tasty and friendly staff... not too friendly but helpful. Brought people for a work lunch. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Probably the best Thai food I have ever had! The ingredients are very fresh. I highly recommend the Drunken Noodles (the noodles are made fresh every day) and the fried vanilla ice cream. We met the owner/chef and she is so humble and sweet! Also, the Thai iced tea is a must. read more

Delicious fresh rolls, served with a savory sauce with crushed peanuts. Khao soi is huge, with ribs. I'd love a bit more broth and fewer crunchy and soft noodles, but that's just me. 24 hour marinated steak salad was tasty, just know that it is steak, a few herbs, cucumber slices and sticky rice and not a large pile of greens and herbs like I mistakenly thought. Loved the sauce! read more

I really appreciate this Thai restaurant. The indoor decorations are light and chill, more importantly, it is tidy and well-designed. The dishes are fantastic and great for small party. I will definitely come back at some time in the future. read more

Delicious and the service was amazing. Everything was good, but definitely get the Short Rib Khao Sai noodle, it was so flavorful and the meat was so rich and tender. Either the best or one of the best curries I've ever had in my life, and I've eaten a lot! The portions are also amazing! Definitely come hungry. A man who helped attend to us, it is his wife that is the chef! Their story is really cool and again, the service was incredible. It felt like private service instead of a restaurant. My friends and I can't wait to go back there. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing food, very friendly owners, and dishes that I've never seen before. Everything on the menu is good, so you cannot go wrong. If you need a recommendation, the owner is always around and always checking in and made some great recommendations. I got some sort of street noodle and it was absolute perfection. Perfectly cooked noodles, not too oily, and definitely hit the spot. Would definitely recommend and return. read more

We got Mae's tonight through via delivery (thanks Covid). Everything was fantastic. The delivery was quick and the food was top notch. We ordered the fried dough, the golden bags, the vegan spring rolls, the chicken and broccoli, extra vegetables, and an order of sticky rice. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be ordering from Mae's again. Pro tip: order the golden bags. Actually, get more than one order of the golden bags. They're other-worldly! read more

Went here for lunch on a sunny Friday. The service for the outdoor dining was great. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The gyoza are delicious, with a wonderful filling. The drunken noodles have a delicious sauce and I love the anise. Try this place! read more

What a great surprise to find this gem. I would say this is the best thai food in Massachusetts. We Ordered a lot of food, all are very tasty, especially the Basil Fried rice, Kuay Tiew Nue ( Vietnamese noodle mixed with some Chinese and Thai ingredients, very unique and delicious) and dessert Mango with sticky rice ( fresh mango with salty coconut milk and sweet sticky rice, what a great mixture!) I will give this restaurant 5 starts all categories. it is very easy to park in main street too. read more

The food and service at Mae Asian Eatery is truly fantastic. I've had a hard time finding Thai curries that are comparable to what I've had in SEA, but I think the search is finally over!! The Panang Curry is spot on - I keep meaning to try some other things on the menu, but it's just so good I can't help but order it every time! Additionally, Anil is very hospitable and accommodating to his guests. His kindness is always noteworthy. I'll certainly be returning! read more

SOOOOOO GOOOD. We got food here for a birthday party, so we got a huge variety of food, and no one was disappointed by ANYTHING. I can vouch for the pad thai, the orange chicken, the short rib kao soi, the pad see ew, the chicken larb, and the mango sticky rice. Everything was so good. The only thing I wouldn't order again was the chicken wings, which were a little salty for my taste, but others liked them just fine. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Brought my family here after graduation but honestly delicious every time we go! We got the thai iced tea, fritters, sirloin, pad krapow gai, mango curry and the ribs bowl. The overwhelming favorite was definitely the pad krapow gai which was both spicy but we couldn't stop eating! Also, be sure to save room for dessert--the portions do tend to run large so entrees are perfect for sharing. read more

This used to be Beijing Tokyo but was just bought by new owners a few weeks ago. I know this because one of the new owners can by with a delightful smile checking on our table and mentioned it. I had tofu soup and spring rolls. Both were really yummy. My companion had the Pad Thai and wasn't able to finish and had the leftovers wrapped to go so I'm sure it was good :) The soup was especially a surprise because I'm not usually a fan of tofu ( ordered because it is CRAZY cold outside and wanted the warmth of soup) and will usually eat around it but the broth was so good I had to eat every bit. It had some cilantro, glass noodles and a couple other ingredients in an almost clear broth that was surprisingly flavorful. Straight forward but still interesting menu,super fast and friendly service, good tasting with fresh ingredients ... perfect for lunch. Will be back soon! read more

I hope I knew this place earlier. All kinds of Asian food there and the service is top quality. Price is very reasonable in Boston.

Appetizers weren't that good. Main meals were fantastic with a great spice level. Crab RangoonPad Krapow GaiTom Yum Soup

This is by far the best Thai restaurant in the Boston area. The owners are amazing & the wife does all the cooking. She is half Thai & Chinese-- the food is 100% authentic and the Chinese food on the menu has an amazing Thai kick. Very very kid-friendly, they saw my daughter (8 months old) and set out kids plastic bowl, plate, cup, & fork/knife). Will be coming back every time we visit the in-laws. read more
