What People Are Saying About Khao Sarn Inc

The Scene
With its warm, inviting atmosphere and authentic Northern-style cuisine, Khao Sarn has changed the way many diners think of Thai food. Expect a varied crowd of students and local families. For those facing a wait--a common occurrence on weekends--the handsome bar serves up fruity alcoholic concoctions like velvety mango martinis. Quiet, respectful servers do their best to explain the menu's many unfamiliar dishes.
The Food
While the kitchen churns out dependable interpretations of Thai classics like pad thai and spring rolls, don't make the mistake so many do of passing up Northern Thai specialties like haw moak, a mousse-like dish that steams chicken, spices, coconut milk and curry paste in banana leaves. Spice lovers have several multiple-alarm curries to enjoy. Coconut-lovers must sample the kitchen's most popular dessert, mango-and-coconut-cream sticky rice.

Be warned: the pad thai from Khao Sarn is VERY fishy!!! (the fishiest I've had in Boston...enough for me to sign up on citysearch just to write this review) For those of you who prefer a sweeter pad thai, I would not recommend this restuarant. However, I will say that the atmosphere of the restuarant was nice and the people were very friendly (we got the thai to-go).

I was a regular at Rod Dee, and decided to give Khao Sarn a try. That was 1 year ago. Since stepping into Khao Sarn, I have increased my standards as to what Thai Food should taste like. The food is always fresh and authentic, and the restuarant is always spotless, even when they are busy. A must see is Noon (not sure how it is spelled), she is the most attentive bartender I have ever met. I think she is a mind reader, as she will never leave you hanging, and at least twice a week comes up with some unheard of creation thats out of this world. If you think this post in not real, feel free to check me out sitting at the bar for happy hour on Wednesdays or Fridays from 4:30pm - 6:00pm --K

My father was born and raised outside of Bangkok. He rates restaurants according to how able they are to remind him of home. The crew at Khao Sarn did just that. Some traditional dishes that can't be missed include the Tod mun, Mee Grob, and the <Kang Palo>. The twin hostesses were exceptionally friendly. The service is polite and prompt. Save room for the mango and sticky rice dessert...another classic Thai summer dish.
