A great Thai restaurant authentic. Superb flavors and the lunchtime specials for 8.95 are worth every penny. Worth a repeat visit

I LOVE THAI HUT. It was my first Thai restaurant I tried when I got to Boston from california and their food is absolutely delicious. We love the masaman curry, their drunken noodles, pad thai, Tom yum, crab Rangoons. There are alternative Thai places around this area but Thai hut is perfect. It's a small business and it can get really crowded during dinner time rush but the quality is worth the wait. read more

Worst pad Thai I've ever had. I was excited to finally try this place having walked or driven by so many times before but was disappointed. Tofu in the dish was soggy, pad Thai was very greasy and had zero flavor, no peanuts at all. Delivery was quick, that's the only reason I didn't rate 1 star. Would not order from again, there's so many better Thai places around the area. read more

Love this place for lunch! Really great pad thai, basil fried rice, and Singapore noodles. I work just down the street and always order takeout online, by the time i arrive the food is ready to go! Delicious and cheap :) read more

Yesterday, I had a plan. I wanted Pad Thai and fireworks and patriotism and I wouldn't settle for less because by God this is AMERICA. Now, I don't know if you've heard the saying "the best laid plans of mice of men" but if you were at the fireworks (Kendall Square) yesterday, and saw a girl in a sailor dress RUNNING back and forth between the MIT bathrooms, the Porta Potties, and the Marriot... then you saw ME and you saw the outcome of my DELIGHTFUL MEAL at Thai Hut. Here's the saddest part: MY PAD THAI WAS GOOD. MY FRIENDS' MEALS WERE GOOD (Masaman Curry and Drunken Chicken)... I WANTED TO DIE IN PUBLIC FOR TWO HOURS. The end. read more

Worst delivery service I have ever experienced and mediocre food at best. - food arrived 1 hour after we ordered. - they wrote down the wrong address and and blamed us for it - they charged us delivery twice to the same location because I had to split the order on two check - food was bland and terrible Never order from this place. read more

Would give them 0 stars if I could after my last experience there. They delivered the wrong order and hung up on me when I called to tell them. Then I called back 4 times trying to tell the lady that i order there frequently and this isnt what i order3d and the lady hung up on me each time I started talking and said that I should take responsibility for the order. The few times before this they put lettuce under the dishes to make the orders look bigger than they are. Go to sweet ginger or sugar and spice instead! read more

Got massaman and green curry. It was fantastic. Wife and I stumbled upon this place in the mood for dinner - and we are always in the mood for Thai. We've been searching Boston for 4 years now for some good Thai curry and I think we've finally found our spot. read more

I went to Thai Hut this evening with some companions and definetly enjoyed my meal. Everything tasted very freshly cooked and not too greasy. My sister ordered a Ladna dish that had great brocolli. My spicy basil was actually spicy and their tofu is perfect. It's pretty much the same menu as every other Thai place but from what I ordered they seem to have the basics down. Portions and price were fair but not enormous (Chinese restaurant style). There is very little seating so don't plan on bringing a large party or even being guaranteed a table. This 'Hut' can get crowded when people come in for take-out so its not an intimate setting either. I thought the service was above average and friendly. And one final note: BYOB! That seals the deal. read more

Oh my god, I never would have come here if I'd read the reviews first (and damn, am I glad I didn't!) Not only is the food relatively authentic (according to friends who've actually been to Thailand!) but the service is totally sweet. I went for a friend's birthday, and we basically took up all of the tables - which were set beautifully when we arrived. They corked our bottles for us (BYO and no corkage fee, awesome), and even hooked up the birthday girl with a beautiful cake (which was made elsewhere, but beautiful and super-reasonably priced). For the record, I tasted their green curry, yellow curry, red curry (with a variety of meats, including duck), drunken noodles, Penang vegetables, Tom Yum (best in town) soup, and pad thai. All were excellent, especially the soup and pad thai. read more

Thai Hut - Thai Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I can see why this might be an overall 3.5 star rating, but hear me out--this little thai hut is great! Having lived in both a city with fantastic thai food (Seattle) and a city that has barely any (Providence), I think that thai hut is delicious!! My three go-to items for this place: PAD THAI (a MUST--eat the pad thai pipping hot and just savor all that perfection), Basil Fried Rice (They give quite a large portion for take out, and I keep telling myself not to finish it, but end up finishing it anyway) and Thai Iced Tea (So amazing that you NEED to order this if you ever stop by the place, definitely on the sweet side but if you have a sweet tooth like mine and enjoy thick tea, this will be sooooo good) I have yet to explore more of the menu. I mention those three because I have tried other noodle dishes and was disappointed (their Pad Woon Sen in particular was bland and not up to par with the quality of Pad Thai) Regardless, this place gets a five star from me, because well one dollar sign ($) and the food is legit good! read more

Do you know how hard it is to find good Pad Thai from a place that will deliver in Somerville? And what if you want Crab Rangoons to boot? Thai Hut! I don't think they have seating in the restaurant but that's not really the point. Next time it's too cold to leave your personal villa, and you are afraid that the chemicals in the special garlic sauce from Papa Gino's is going to give you renal failure, they got you covered. read more

I was bowled over by this place. Tastes like the best of the Thai food I had in Thailand, where I have traveled pretty extensively. It is like teleporting going to that place, it smells and is decorated just like the little restaurants in Thailand run by Thai families, reverent pictures of the king, happy Buddhas and all. I had the lunch special with red curry. It came with a soup, the curry, some rice (they subbed brown for me, which gets them extra points that they didn't even need), a spring roll and a veggie dumpling (they brought a crab rangoon which, sadly, I couldn't eat because I don't eat crab), and a little clementine for dessert. The curry was hot and flavorful, the soup fragrant and refreshing, the whole thing was just perfection. I will be back here a million times. read more

I have been only two times to this places: it is delicious. I just can't stop smiling after having their food. I have had the broccoli with pork and the lunch combo of eggplant, spring roll and soup. Vegetables are fresh and not overcooked, they are actually crunchy and very tasty. Love their food. Both times I have eaten in the place, although is small is a comfy place. read more

We drove by this place more times than we can count but finally got around to ordering. The food was really fresh and a great value. The soup seemed like homemade, and everything had just the right amount of flavor and spice. Definitely ordering from here again. You should too. read more

I think people are writing reviews of the Thai Hut without considering what it is. The Thai Hut is a take-out thai place-- no tables, no real attempt at authenticity. It's like McThai Food. And for what it is, it's great. If you want Thai in a pinch, Thai delivery that's quick-- call the Thai Hut. I love the massaman curry and they make it with pineapple because I ask them to. It's around the corner from my house-- and the delivery driver who has only delivered to me three times in the past year remembers me every time and continues the conversation as we left it off. It's odd, but that's fine. read more

I just got back from the Thia Hut. I have driven past this place forever and I'll be honest, never had any desire to try it. I have a hard time when disappointed by Thai food, which is what kept me away from here. I almost feel as though I should have continued past here and had my supper elsewhere. I got fresh spring rolls with tofu. They were really tasty, and on the large size as well. I got an order of chicken pad thai as well. 15 minutes later my order was ready to take-away. The bag was hella light - I guess not a bad thing, cause I hate the feeling after a heavy meal... I got home and was ready to chow down. The spring rolls were good, but there was a sauce that looked like pad thai sauce that usually comes in take out, and the peanut bits for the top. I opened the pad thai - it had leaked sauce all over the bag, and already had peanuts on it? What was the point of the extras? The noodles were fried - I may have known that upon ordering, but I didn't think much of it. I should have thought about that a bit deeper - these were like the size of a shoelace and weren't so much fried, as tough and saturated in some kind of grease. So sad. I was really hoping to be amazed. It's so close to my home, but not so close to my heart. On the upside they are BYOB. read more

I looove everything from Thai Hut's understated restaurant decor to the melon hard candies you get with your check. The first time I tried Thai Hut I was on my way to a hot tubbing session with my beau. It was early spring and frigid outside and in (space heaters took care of some portions of the restaurant). I'd stick to take-out while its chilly outside, but the waitress/hostess/do-all lady that works there is too friendly to not come and meet. We got vegetable soup and dumplings for dinner in preparation for sometimes overwhelming and dehydrating experience that is hot tubbing. The soup was so flavorful and the dumplings so delicious and perfectly filling. The soup has tons of veggies cooked al dente and is on the salty side (not too salty, just tons of flavor). Thai food is my favorite for dinning out, so I've been to most of the Thai restaurants in Somerville, Cambridge, and Boston. Thai Hut is at the low end of the cost spectrum, but don't let its very modesty fool you. When it comes to flavor its a contender with the high end Thai restaurants. Just some notes: The portions are huge. The brown rice is cooked to perfection and is not too grainy even if you don't normally go for brown rice. The curries have tons of sauce. The food is spicy, and you may want to watch out for spicy dishes if you can't handle a lot of heat. I'm a vegetarian so I haven't tried a good portion of the menu. Warning: I've never ordered anything that came too spicey, but my roommate got drunked noodles a few weeks ago. I tried some of them and can attest that it is true. Even though the dish is not listed as spicey on the menu, it was waay to spicy for us to eat. I like a lot of heat in my food, and I'd even go so far to say that food isn't worth eating unless it hurts, but it was inedible how hot hot hot the noodles were. read more

I put in a order for delivery and was told 45 minutes. Actually it took an hour and a half. I had the chicken pad thai and some wings. The wings were delicious and the sauce provided was really good too. The pad thai was OK nothing special. It had a bit of a zingy flavor too it which was different. It was not as flavorful as i had hoped. Also there was a delivery charge that they didnt mention. read more

For such a small place, it's surprisingly good. They're mostly take-out, but they don't neglect their dine-in service, and they've put a lot of effort into decorating the place. I went and had beef pad Thai and tom yum soup and Thai iced tea, and it was all very good. read more

The food is good. The staff is really nice. It's BYOB. Enough said, right? Plus their catering is really affordable. I often use them for catering student group dinners on campus because their prices are very reasonable, the staff is extremely nice, and it's really easy to get delicious vegan and vegetarian options. read more

I was getting the stink eye from the chef on my way out and I didn't know why until I realized I forgot to tip... MY B THAI HUT - I completely forgot. Hope this review makes up for it. You know those times where you just want to meet up with old friends and just have a nice quiet Intimate conversation ? Look no further! This restaurant is perfect for that + a solid Thai meal. read more

Normally love their curry but today they 1) gave away my order to someone else without verifying, 2) refused to acknowledge that they gave away my order, 3) refused to refund me my $60+, and 4) hung up on me. Would not recommend going here (would suggest Mae Asian Eatery as a much better, friendlier Thai place?). read more

You know what? I think this place blows. I lived next door to Thai Hut during my college days and they disappointed me numerous times. It was our running joke in the building that Thai Hut sucked, but it was some kind of sick pleasure to try and order from them repeated times in hopes that it would improve. Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, the appetizers, they are all mediocre at best. Everything I ever ordered was bland and very greasy. It doesn't come cheap either, don't let that unassuming exterior fool you. On a weird side note, one day Thai Hut moved around all the seats in their store and hung up some cheap paper lights. They then proceeded to put up a grand re-opening sign outside and invite about 50 friends and family to take pictures. To my knowledge, the store never changed hands and the crappy service and food I hated still remained. Thai Hut will get the job done in a pinch during a snow storm, but if you have the ability to seek out better restaurants, by all means do. read more

This place is pretty small with about 2 tables so it might take a while to get seated. I got the pad Thai which was pretty good. This place is also a BYOB restaurant so we were able to bring in our own wines and store them in the fridge there. Everything is pretty cheap and the portions are pretty big so you will definitely leave here full. read more

Ive had a few great meals at Thai Hut. I love their lunch specials and find the price for what you get is hard to beat. Don't go into the restaurant expecting a fine dining experience. There are only three or four tables and most people seem to order to go. But the food is great! After just having traveled to thailand a few months ago I found the food to be very authentic and equally as tasty as many of the great meals I had there. read more

You like Thai? Or never had Thai? GO NO FURTHER! Crab rangoon is better than anything around. It's even better than Ginger Exchange's. Tom Kar soup is heaven in a bowl. I could eat it every day. Fresh rolls are also the best around though the peanut sauce is only about a B+. Ginger Exchange has a special peanut sauce that you have to ask for specifically which is the very best sauce but Ginger Exchange's fresh rolls are packed with rice noodles and not as much veggies. In an ideal world, I'd take the fresh roll with lots of veggies like at Thai Hut and Ginger Exchange's special-request peanut sauce. The curries are also great! That is to say, the flavor is delicious and the potatoes are cooked to al dente. Some people like super soft potatoes but I don't so this is great for me. The Thai Tea is great, though just down the street the Biscuit Cafe serves a mean Thai Tea too which isn't quite as sweet so I actually prefer that one if I had to choose. The ladies that work the table are sweethearts. Recently they've also had my favorite Whole Foods soap, the citrus flavor foamy stuff. ***Even the soap is good!*** read more

Overall the food was good, very flavorful and just-the-right-spice. Ordered delivery through Foodler: estimated time was 50 minutes but they arrived after 1 hour 40 minutes *Bangkok Wings: friend reported them "over-cooked" *Sweet & Sour Fish: friend reported it not too flavorful and "okay" *Yellow Curry with Scallops: yummy, just the right flavor, good n' spicy (would order again) *Veggie Tempura: a bit soggy, probably had been sitting while putting together late order, but sauce with it was delicious *Sticky Rice: average Con: had to call after more than 50 minutes to ask about the status (they kindly said they were unexpectedly busy) Pro: driver was extremely kind too! read more

Really good food! Open until 10 which is really convenient since I'm a late eater. Will deliver. And if you're dining in, the older lady is super pleasant, and the service is always good and quick. The Pad See You is my favorite thing on the menu. And I love that if you order anything vegetarian there's good stuff in it, like baby corn and eggplant, not just simple celery and bell peppers like some other restaurants do. Also whichever curry has the pineapple in it is lovely. read more

This place is great; right from the kooky/super pleasant lady who runs the front desk to their awesome selection and quality of the food. Their pad thai is really delicious and definitely worth trying as is the panang curry. Whether you're getting it delivered or picking up, the food is always made really quickly. And just when you thought this place was all about their great food, they go ahead and make your dining in experience BYOB. Bottom line: If you're looking for Thai in Somerville/Cambridge, dining in or out, Thai Hut is the place. read more

Considering I live a two minute walk from Thai Hut, I visit A LOT. The food isn't amazing, but it's pretty tasty and I would consider it relatively authentic. It's a small and unassuming establishment that most people walk past without noticing or fearing due to the tiny size, but it's a great place for a nice meal. There are only a few tables, but the people who work there are nice. If you want to sit down and eat, go on a Friday night. There's a young girl who only works there Friday evenings. She's really sweet, she will remember you, and is really great with her service. She's also observant, will pick up immediately on your dining tastes, and if you are receptive, she'll suggest other items on the menu. I usually eat vegetarian, and my usual is Vegetable Pad Thai and Vegetable Steamed Dumplings - she noticed I ordered this a couple times and suggested the Spicy Papaya Salad on the menu. I've only ordered this dish in the States once, and it was terrible. I ate it a lot during my time in China, and nothing compared, but Thai Hut's does. For my usual order, I spent $14, but it lasts me two days (or a meal and a midnight snack...), which I think is really reasonable for the portions and quality. I usually carry out my food, but eating in is a real treat; the in house Pad Thai is arguably better. read more

I waffled a bit between three and four stars for this review. I've been here a few times, and the entrees are pretty good, but not awesome. You also aren't exactly guaranteed to get what you order - I asked for pineapple fried rice and got the pineapple fried rice as described on the menu... but without any pineapple. Go figure. You get a lot of food for the price, and it was pretty tasty, so I didn't complain. For an app I had "Tom Khal" soup, which was great. I don't know why it was called "Tom Khal", as it was just tom kha gai. Anyway, this is one of my favorite foods ever, and it's hard to do poorly because it's fairly simple (I make pretty good tom kha gai at home). Still, their soup was the real deal, with chunks of galangal and fresh lemongrass, and even a legit kaffir lime leaf floating on top. Service is very quick and will probably not speak good English. The lady who brought us our food insisted on filling our water glasses just before we left, even when we told her that we didn't need, which was kind of funny. There is an amazing story on the back of the menu about how Thai food kicks ass at using spices, make sure to read it. There are only 10-12 seats in here, at three tables. I've only been here later at night (in between 9 and 10) and have never had a problem getting a table, but it might be tricky if you want to eat in during typical dinner hours. read more

Their drunken noodle is so on point (5/5) but their pad thai is alright (3.5/5). Overall, I enjoyed my meal.

We tried to eat in - we ordered and then sat down at a table. However, it didn't really seem like you were supposed to stay; they gave us our food in to-go boxes. So we put it in a bag and went home, considering that I live two blocks away. The food (I got a nameless chicken dish) was completely uninspired; in fact, I prefer the stuff from the food trucks. I would go so far as to say that the pad thai was disgusting. Everything was actually fairly expensive considering the quality - I paid $10 here versus $4 for a superior meal from a food truck. Stay away. read more

Basically Exactly what you expect from a Thai Food place! Its a small little hut that is offered mostly through its takeout option but they do have a few tables available. I ordered the Basil Fried Rice with a spiciness of 2. The basil fried rice i must say was a smaller portion but i did only pay like $8 for it. What i was expecting from a Thai place is its flavor. That is exactly what i got. The fried rice had much flavor a long with some extra vegetables stir in it Overall it was very good and tasty! I wouldn't mind coming back here again! read more

Basil friend rice was pretty good and good quantity as well for the price. Red curry is good as well. read more

We had the weekend lunch specials and BYOB. The food is pretty good, the prices are AWESOME, and the beer is CHEAP (bc it's from the grocery store). A winner in my book. read more

Great price and very friendly. I come to eat here with roommates sometimes and food is very affordable. They place is a bit small so try to plan accordingly. read more

Thai Hut - Thai Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Pad see ew with tofu is awesome, best I've had in the area. Also largest veggie tempura app I've ever seen. Amazing peanut sauce with the chicken satay. Only ever picked up, never eaten in. read more

Oof. I ordered take-out from here last night. Big mistake. I ordered the Cashew Nut dinner, which is described as: "meat stir fried with mixed vegetables and cashew nuts in an oyster sauce." There was pineapple in it. No mention of fruit in the description, it was kind of jarring. Worse than that -- there were exactly 3 cashews in it. I counted. There was more surprise pineapple than cashew in my cashew nut dinner. (?!?!?!) Surprisingly modest portion size that honestly was not enough to fill me up. No rice. I didn't realize you had to order rice separately (their online order service doesn't make that clear or easy). I had ordered a Sprite. I didn't see it in the bag and asked about my Sprite. They showed me a paper bag that appeared to have a soda can inside. When I got home, I looked in the bag. It was a Pepsi. Disappointment all around. Not ordering from them again. read more
