Lots of soups/stews as their specialty! Tried the beef stew and nam tok, both were delicious and I loved that the place was different from your typical pad thai type of food. Also tried the yum salmon (HUGE portions, fantastic), and whole fried fish (crispy and came with a mango salad/sauce). Everything was really good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely come again! read more

Sen Yai Thai Noodles specializes in regional Thai noodle dishes that go beyond the usual pad thai and fried rice found at many local Thai restaurants. We walked into a small, clean, and welcoming space with a casual atmosphere that kept the focus on the food. The dining room was modest and unpretentious, with a layout that accommodated both small groups and solo diners comfortably. The energy of the room stayed relaxed, and the self-serve water bottles on each table added a nice touch that made the experience feel more casual and unhurried. The noodle soups are the highlight of the menu. We ordered a few options and found the Nam Tok noodles and spicy blood soup having rich, flavorful broths with plenty of depth. The option to choose different noodle types made it easy to tailor each bowl to our preference, and the heat here felt authentic rather than toned down, adding another layer of flavor instead of simply making the dish hotter. Beyond the noodles, there were several dishes worth trying, including the pork leg rice, fish maw soup, and spicy pork rib soup. The menu offered a good mix of familiar and lesser-known Thai specialties, making it easy to branch out if we were looking to try something different. The honey wings and salmon yum were also solid choices, adding variety to the meal and working well as shareable plates. Service was friendly during our visit, and the staff were happy to answer questions about the menu for anyone unfamiliar with some of the more traditional dishes. Since the dining room is fairly small, it could get busy during peak meal times, but the relaxed atmosphere made it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. One detail we appreciated was that the restaurant stays true to its concept instead of trying to appeal to everyone. The menu leans into authentic Thai flavors and ingredients, making it a good spot if you are interested in exploring regional dishes that are not as common around Boston. Sen Yai Thai Noodles is an easy recommendation if you are looking for authentic Thai comfort food centered around noodle soups and traditional specialties. The flavorful broths, unique menu, and welcoming atmosphere make it a place worth returning to whenever we are craving something beyond the standard Thai takeout menu. read more

Sen Yai Thai Noodles - Thai Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Food was delightful. Had the pork leg, mustard green with rice and the Yen Ta Fo Tom Yum soup. The soup was very spicy and sour, but very flavorful. You get to choose 4 types of noodles, so I went with the wide noodles. The pork leg playlet had a lot of fatty meat, which was so good. For drink, I had the Thai tea. Service was excellent. Food came out super quick. The restaurant is not too big, but very cozy. read more

Sen Yai is my go to for comforting, warm noodle soups. The soups with the tom yum base are my favorite -- a perfect mix of sour and spicy! Noodles are cooked well, toppings are generous, and the packaging doesn't leak when ordering take out! Can't wait to come back! read more

I am a pretty diehard Thai food eater and have had a lot of experience visiting Thailand as well. Sen Yai offers a very different and unique Thai experience. Most of these items you probably won't know or have tried before as most are street food items. I had: Khao Na Ped (very good and filling, the duck, rice, sauce and ginger is a winning combo) Thai Dry Noodles (very very good, lots going on and can add as much soup/sauce as you prefer, though I dont drench the noodles much) Giew-Tod (Thai crispy wontons, I think shrimp, but we're easily my favorite thing I had) Overall a great spot, can't wait to try in person and try more from here. read more

Not your typical Thai place. We did takeout so can't comment on service, but totally loved their food. Highly recommend.

I'm a big fan of the Thai place next door, so when Sen Yai opened, I was intrigued. Their menu mostly consists of noodle dishes, but there's a good selection of appetizers, as well as a few rice dishes. We ordered the Tofu Triangles to share and I got the Bamee Moo Dang noodle soup. The tofu triangles were crisp and came with a yummy sauce, and the noodle soup was perfect for a chilly day. The space isn't super big, but even on a Sunday around lunch time, we waited no more than five minutes. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

This place never disappoints. Always delicious, the staff are very nice and attentive. The lang zapp and the Thai style sashimi are my go too! The mango sticky rice is a must get after the meal and the pandan drink. The ambiance is very nice, cozy and chill. read more

Been wanting to try this place since it opened, but it was a miss for me. Food was mediocre at best, not sure where the hype was as I saw it was packed before. The papaya salad was spicy and I give it 8/10, Pork Soup was a 7/10 and the other dishes were about 5/10. read more

Absolutely delicious! I got the Bamee Moo Dang and LOVED it! Our server was very friendly and fast, the space was clean and bright, 10/10!

The first time we ordered takeout from here, we thought it was a bit pricey but the food was good and portion was ok. I usually have some leftovers when I go out to eat noodle soup at other places and the portion at Senyai was just enough for me with no leftovers. We ordered the Stewed beef with wide rice noodles and Duck with egg noodles. We thought, as long as it filled us enough and it tastes good, then we are fine with it being a bit pricey. A month later, we ordered take out a 2nd time and got an order for my parents as well for takeout (same order) and this time all 4 orders looked really sad. The portion of the noodles was so small that we had to make more noodles at home. I literally ate my order and I was still hungry. It was like a half order portion. Overall, the food tastes good but I would suggest to add more noodles so that people aren't still hungry after eating it. These are not "mini" dishes with "mini" prices. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be returning unless I feel like I just needed a snack. read more

Really yummy new spot in oak square. Loved the Tom yum and I recommend their Thai iced coffee! I think they could use cooler menu items, and maybe more things considering how thonglor menu is huge and same owners. I'll be back but in the winter because it is hot in there read more

I was super excited to try this place since I love thai food and noodle soups. I had never heard of this restaurant or the one next door so it was a nice discovery. I came around 7 ish to put my name on the wait and there was only one name ahead of me but it was a small restaurant. They told me 20-45 and I gave my number and came back about 40 minutes later. I saw on the list that they sat two parties of three that put their names on afterwards, which I would understand but they had tables that fit two or three and that felt a little weird. The overly nonchalant attitude of some of the workers was extremely off putting. We waited about 10 more minutes for a table and then ordered food immediately (around 8:10). We did not get our food until after 8:45. Everyone else who got sat before and after us already got their food. When the food came it was good but nothing special and certainly not worth the wait time. We both got the beef noodle soup, which I took photos of then deleted because I didn't feel that this restaurant was worthy of being shared via social media. I can't tell why but it seemed like the employees only care about moving tables in and out when it benefits them. They rush to get three parties their checks but when we ask for the check from one of the employees, she takes our card and leaves it where the computer is, taking her sweet time to clean off a table, seat a new table, and take their order. I had to ask someone else for the check. The food here is good but not worth the terrible service and waiting 35+ minutes for our food. I have had better noodle soups and better thai food with MUCH nicer service (ex: What A Soup). I personally don't believe in the common idea that Asian restaurants with bad service have better food because I have been to dozens of amazing Asian restaurants in Boston with good food and incredible service. I found the employee that I mentioned to be incredibly nonchalant and didn't seem to care at all about anything. The worst part was her not giving us our card back and having to ask someone else because she was blatantly ignoring us by cleaning off an entire table and seating them AND taking their orders. Another employee had to apologize and give us our check and she still didn't apologize or even notice. I was really disappointed in this place and I don't think it's worth the wait or the terrible service. read more

My friend & I literally just found this delightful little Thai Noodle place on our way to a pool night. We ordered Cheese Puffs for an appetizer and Bamee Moo Dang noodle soup & I ordered Thai Dry Noodle Soup (Beef, with a medium kick) and everything was absolutely delicious. Service was prompt & attentive. Priced reasonably. The restaurant was perhaps 6-10 tables. Went on a Friday night on the late side & there were still several tables of patrons. We will definitely go back. read more

Incredible dining experience! AMAZING food for a great price. Small preselected hot pot servings or individual diy noodle bowls!! Sister restaurant to Thonglor next door and if you know how amazing Thonglor is you'll be just as amazed by Sen Yai! read more

My favorite Thai restaurant in Boston area! Portion size is decent, service is good, and food tastes great!

The administration at the restaurant was so chaotic. They can't arrange the order of meals correctly, and even can't remember the food ordered by the customer correctly. Horrible experience at this restaurant, not recommend. read more

Cozy, quiet atmosphere. Service was prompt. Had chicken claws and beef with egg noodles. Broth was delightful as were the noodles, beef was a tad overdone. Sauce claws were served with was fresh with a nice kick and the claws were great. Will be back! read more
