Shhh, don't tell anyone!…read more But also tell everyone you know! Let it Be is a chic, cozy little hole in the wall spot on Dixwell which although you can easily miss, you won't want to because it's a legend of a Thai restaurant. AMBIANCE - 8/10 When you walk inside, you're greeted by a familiar friendly smile (? one of the owners) before being seated amongst brightly colorful interior decor. They play relaxing Thai classics and sometimes switch it up with familiar and vibey pop songs. It's a small space, but is never overcrowded, and there's conveniently plenty of parking in the back. FOOD - 9/10 The food here is incredible. I've tried multiple Thai places in and around the New Haven/Hamden area and Let it Be has got them all beat. Not only are the flavors authentic and high quality, but prices are fair and the dishes are well-portioned. Best of all, they're made with so much heart. Every bite has felt like a journey back home to South East Asia. SERVICE - 9/10 The service here has been phenomenal. Our friendly server is welcoming, prompt, and responsive to our needs. When a dish we asked for wasn't available, he took the time to find similar dishes for us. He also takes the time to make friendly conversation and share with us the history of some of the special dishes. Visits here always just feel like a pitstop at a friendly neighbor's. The only thing is that it can take a bit of time for the food to come out, which is natural as the dishes are likely made to order. OVERALL - 9/10 From the Thai staples (pad thai, red and green curries) to the more avant garde (larb kai but in a bánh mì / hoagie style sandwich?! woah!), this place does it all the right way. If you couldn't tell by now, this is my absolute favorite Thai place and I could not recommend it enough. Ally's Recs: Pad Thai (8/10) - cannot go wrong with a classic Pad See Ewe (9/10) - another classic! tastes great with a squeeze of lime Let it Be Thai Curry (9/10) - delicious house curry; they combo the curries well to create a creamy sweet and savory mixture that always leaves you wanting more Thai Tea (8/10) - if you're down for a treat, the condensed milk hits every time! Longan Juice / Tea (7/10) - refreshing and comes with a bunch of juicy longans on top. such a unique offering!

Hopefully they're doing a big takeout business because we were the only ones inside for dinner. Granted it was 8:30pm, but they are open until midnight. They were accommodating by turning the heat up on this chilly night. They also put on current Thai music for us after we asked about the American music being played. They offered my wife a syrupy lychee drink on the house to take care of the extra heat that she wasn't expecting. They put a bit of a different spin on their version of some popular dishes so don't be mad if it's not what you get at other Thai restaurants. Check out our pics. It was all excellent!

Ordered through DoorDash and had a good experience overall. We tried the Pad See Ew, fried wontons,…read moresummer rolls, and Tom Yum soup, and everything arrived well packaged and in good condition. The Pad See Ew was flavorful and satisfying, with nicely seasoned noodles and a good balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors. The fried wontons were crispy and made a great appetizer, while the summer rolls tasted fresh and were a nice lighter option alongside the other dishes. I also enjoyed the Tom Yum soup, which was warm, flavorful, and had that nice tangy kick you expect from Tom Yum. Overall, the food was tasty and we enjoyed the variety of dishes we ordered. A solid option for Thai food, especially when you're in the mood for a little bit of everything.

I learned about Bangkok Boulevard in an interesting way. I was reading a review of a Thai…read morerestaurant in Cheshire and another Yelper suggested in his review of that place that Bangkok Boulevard is better. I like the other restaurant so I figured if BP is even better than that place then I have to try it. It's also not far from me so I quickly decided to check it out. Happy I did. Everything I got was delicious! I ordered the pumpkin curry with beef and a Thai tea with no ice to go. The Thai tea is the best I've ever had and that's no exaggeration. It is sweeter than others I've tried but I have a sweet tooth so that's actually one of the things I like best about it. It may not be for you if you like your tea less sweet. The pumpkin curry was so good! The beef was really tender. I have nothing negative to say about either the food or drink. I will def be back and I will be trying so much more. I will, especially, be taking advantage of their weekday lunch specials. Stay tuned for an updated review once I've gone a few more times but judging from this first visit, I know I will continue to be impressed.

Very relaxed atmosphere and you're never felt like you're being rushed to finish and leave, like so many other restaurants. Their foods are made fresh so it may take slightly longer to get your meal, but when you do, you'll be amazed...it's so good! They're very accomodating with altering their meals for any reason. Two of our party are vegan and as such cannot eat/have certain items. This was not a problem at all here! The service here is impeccable too. So polite and appreciative of your business. The Bangkok Boulavard is one of most favortite restaurants to frequent.

Best Thai food in Wallingford hands down…read more The pad Thai is the best I've had. It's hard not to order it every time. But everything on the menu is delicious so ya gotta branch out. The location in in between two pizza places on the North Haven side of Rt 5 in Wallingford. It's our go-to take out place. Recently we dined in and it was even better. Their tom kha is so flavorful. The green curry beef noodle dish was huge and delicious with the right amount of spice. Unassuming simplicity inside with more take-away orders than diners, it seemed. But dining area was nice. I've dined here years ago and it was different. I imagine they changed owners or renovated in some way, because it's extra good.

Food- spring rolls are always good. However, I will say my go to is generally the pad Thai. Sometimes it is spot on and other times it almost tastes like there are different cooks, and it where it tastes like it came from a wok that is too hot/singed flavor and the right flavors just aren't there. I did notice they changed to more biodegrading to go products which is nice though! My family member got the Massaman Currt and reported it was not as good as usual, this time around it was very soupy with minimal spice. I've never eaten inside but this looks like a small hole in the wall spot from the outside , it is very quaint. Overall, return out of convenience when visiting the area from time to time but wish there were more consistency with when those dishes have been closer to their best!

The space is deceptively much larger than I realized upon entering, and they can easily accommodate large groups and smaller parties alike. Service was pleasant and prompt, but admittedly we were the only other table there during lunch. I'm curious to see how busy this place gets during dinner service. Chicken satay was tender and perfect for my 22-month-old. Drunken noodles hit the spot and had just the right amount of spice for me. The broth for the beef stew noodle soup was sweeter than I expected, but the garlicky flavor and tender beef won me over. Also was happy to see they have a full bar with a decent cocktail menu! Prices are actually a bit above average. The ambiance would also benefit from further interior updates in the future. The neon signs are a nice step towards making it appear more trendy. Definitely looking forward to trying their curry dishes and more of their menu on a future visit!

The place had a really nice and chill vibe, really nice decor and a great spot for a somewhat nice lunch. They were serving their lunch menu and I ended up getting the mussels pad Thai, and a chicken curry puff appetizer and a Thai tea. The Thai tea was solid, and the chicken curry puffs were very good. But the stand out was the pad Thai. I've never had a creamy pad Thai and this was amazing. So flavorful. I didn't know what to expect with the mussels but I loved the mussels in the shell and it added a great flavor to the dish! I will definitely be coming back again to order this, and try some of their other items!

This is supposedly the best Thai restaurant in Connecticut. Delicious!…read more Crab Fried Rice: The rice grains were separate and refreshing, but lacked wok hei 鑊氣, resembling crab meat and scrambled eggs mixed with rice. The sauce was similar to Thai seafood sauce, but thicker, with a very strong garlic kick. Mixing it into the rice added a clever touch, cutting through the richness without making it soggy. Long Island Duck Pineapple Curry: Recommended by the owner. My first time trying a sweet and sour curry; the refreshing pineapple balanced well with the rich curry. The duck was just okay, mainly because it was too dry. Mango Sticky Rice: A pleasant surprise; my parents also loved it. The coconut milk had a strong sea salt and caramel flavor, likely due to the addition of coconut sugar or palm sugar. Steamed Vegetables: Just steamed vegetables, without any seasoning. A sprinkle of salt would have made it tastier.

Thankfully, we had reservations, so it was not much of a wait. Unfortunately, due to a busy weekend, our seating options were limited and not ideal, even for only 2 of us. Also, because of how busy the restaurant was, service was a little slower than I would have liked for them to take our order and for the food to come out. The good is that we enjoyed some good drinks and settled in, focusing on the restaurant's good energy and vibe. We shared the Flank steak special, pork wraps, and pad see-ew with flank steak, all of which were so good and a little too much for the two of us. Pricing for everything was reasonable given the type of restaurant and the Yale clientele who come to this place. This restaurant is a RESY location, and it did not disappoint. We will definitely return.

The ramen was fantastic, but honestly, the service was even better. Everything came out super quickly, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp tempura ramen and it was SO good. The shrimp tempura stayed crispy, the broth was flavorful, and the portion was generous. We also got the edamame, which tasted really fresh with the perfect crisp bite to it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to fully commit to the spicy garlic sauce, so I asked for it on the side... and immediately fell in love with it. We ended up dipping EVERYTHING in it, including the dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. My friend ordered a boba tea without the boba and really enjoyed it. They also got a sushi roll, and I tried some of the California roll myself. Sometimes all you want is a nice, fresh piece of sushi, and this definitely delivered. Also, points for serving the Diet Coke in a bottle. Nothing is worse than an inconsistent fountain! If we're ever back in the New Haven/Hamden area, this will absolutely be our go-to ramen spot. We'll definitely be back!
