Editorial Review for The Similans- Fine Thai cuisine – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Though not sharing a name, The Similans shares the same ownership and much of the same menu as Boston's award-winning Brown Sugar Cafe. The eatery is located within walking distance of the CambridgeSide Galleria shopping mall, as well as many of Kendall Square's office buildings. The lengthy menu contains both familiar favorites (basil fried rice, drunken noodle, seafood pad Thai) and unique chef's specialties (salmon spring rolls, stewed beef massaman, roast duck curry).

After growing up on the excellent Thai cuisine in Seattle, I was sorely disappointed by Cambridge Thai food . . . until I found The Similans. I'd tried all the usually Thai spots around Harvard Square - 9 Tastes, Spice, Smile Thai, etc. - and never found anything that was better than mediocre, so I decided to head further afield and check-out The Similans because it's part of the Brown Sugar group of restaurants that won for best Thai in Boston. I was not disappointed. Conveniently located a couple blocks from the Cambridgeside Galleria, The Similans' exotic fish tank and elaborate Thai artwork make for a great ambiance. And, of course, the food was excellent! Not only did the restaurant have the usual East Coast-style pad thai (white noodles and slightly sweet), but it also carried what I'd been craving for months . . . authentic (spicy, saucy) pad thai! There was also a huge array of other tantalizing dishes, and I would highly recommend the ice cream with sticky rice for dessert.
Pros: fantastic food, nice setting, timely service, reasonable prices

The food was absolutely delicious and extremely fresh! This is the best thai food in Boston. The ambience is really soothing/peaceful. Too bad more people don't know about it. it was empty when we arrived.
