    The Taste is located in the heart of Amherst Center. The service is pretty good and the place is decorated in a minimalistic but modern design. I believe it is a family-run business, but everyone is professional and understands the business well. The food was pretty decent. I got the Basil Fried Rice, which was priced reasonably. I did think the portions were a bit small so it wasn't good for sharing, but priced reasonably enough for individual plates. The basil fried rice had a little kick in it but didn't have that much spice to overwhelm. Overall a good place to go if you are looking for Thai food in the area or a casual date night.

    Chicken Pad Thai

    I've been here twice on two different trips to Amherst! Every dish was a delightful journey into the vibrant and complex flavors of Thai cuisine. Starting with the pumpkin curry, it was a rich and aromatic dish with the sweetness of the pumpkin complementing the warm Thai spices. A very comforting dish! I couldn't resist trying the Pad Thai, a classic Thai noodle dish, which did not disappoint! The Siam rolls, we're one of the crispiest things I've ever had! The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the tender, flavorful interior likely makes them irresistible appetizers. I regret eating them all in one sitting but I knew they would be good in a hotel microwave. The chicken coconut soup, made with a creamy coconut milk base, kaffir lime, tender chicken, mushrooms, and other herbs and spices infused the broth with layers of complex flavors, creating a comforting and aromatic soup that warms the soul. Lastly, the Thai-style basil chicken pan-fried dish was flavorful with tender chicken, aromatic Thai basil, bell peppers, onions, and chilies. This is also a staple of mine when visiting a Thai restaurant and I loved this one! The service is great, very quick, and polite! I will return here whenever my next trip to Amherst is!

    Here are the must orders in my opinion: chicken satay and potstickers. Everything else I enjoyed, but those 2 things went above and beyond. Pad Thai was pretty standard for a Thai restaurant, still would recommend. I'll be back!

    Very disappointing. I wanted to like it but it was the worst Pad See Ew I've ever had. Totally devoid of flavor.

I got the seafood curry in the red coconut curry sauce with a side of white rice, and it was absolutely amazing. So good, I was so full but couldn't stop eating it!! Every bite just got better and better. I got my daughter the chicken noodle soup, and the broth was so delicious, it made you feel warm and cozy, and as if you were eating at someone's grandmas house. It was comforting, heartwarming, cozy, friendly, and welcoming, plus the food was beyond amazing. I will definitely be coming back, and I truly recommend it to anyone who wants to try it out! Thank you for the amazing service, food and such a wonderful visit!

Today was my birthday, so my dinner spot of choice meant a return here to experience a meal at the newish Charming Thai Restaurant. And we left a few hours later agreeing that this place is fantastic. Soon after we were seated, we met Jessica, who was our principal server. She was an absolute delight with a fantastic personality. She started off with some complimentary noodles and sweet duck sauce. The menu is extensive, with most of the traditional Thai favorites, so think Pad Thai, Drunken Noodle, Fried Rices, Lo Meins, and Pad See-Ew. Other groupings include Chef Specials, Classic Entrees, Curries, and a full slate of appetizers, salads, soups, Pho, and Ramens. When you go through their menu, the various combinations of entrée and protein choices are in the 200 range. So pretty much anyone can eat their favorite Asian food here. We started off with a cup of Wonton Soup (with 6 big wontons) and a cup of Tom Kha Soup with two big shrimp at $5.99 each. The Tom Kha had a mild coconut taste, but I don't mean that in a negative way. I order this a lot, and some places really load up on the coconut flavor so much that the soup resembles a strong thick ice cream topping. Their soup was thinner than some but had enough flavor that it was fantastic. Oh, and those two plump shrimps in my bowl were perfect. We split an $8 order of six pork pot stickers, and they were cooked beautifully without a hint of grease and stuffed with a nice ground pork filling. For our main meal we split a $15.99 order of Chicken Pad Thai. We ordered it mild, but since I like spice, I asked for some extra zip on the side and Jessica brought out a cute little twin dish of Sriracha sauce and Sichuan pepper powder to ramp up the firepower. We loved the Pad Thai, it had plenty of chicken, the noodles were well cooked, and most of all it was sauced perfectly. Not too dry, not too wet, but just perfect. As we were paying our bill, the fact that it was my birthday came up, and Jessica made us promise not to leave yet because she wanted to give me something. That turned out to be a complimentary dish of sweet coconut rice with sliced mango. The portions were so generous that some of the Tom Kha and Pad Thai are now in our refrigerator for tomorrow. Thank you, Jessica, and JJ who tag-teamed us tonight, and here's a special shout-out to Lucy who made the magic happen in the kitchen. The food, the service, the value, and the atmosphere were all exceptional. If you like Thai food as much as we do, head on out to Route 4 and treat yourself to a charming dinner experience at Charming Thai.
