Editorial Review for Bangkok Blue Thai Restaurant – by Alison Bulman
The Scene
International tourists, business types and Thai-loving students break here from shopping on Newbury Street, networking at the nearby Hynes Convention Center or studying at the nearby Boston Public Library. Tiny green lights hanging over tiled tables and floors, accentuating the small and somewhat trendy greenish-blue room. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out on a handful of sidewalk tables bathed in natural lighting.
The Food
Locals exalt the noodle and curry dishes especially. Flavorful drunken noodles (tofu, chicken or seafood over stir-fried rice noodles with chili peppers, bean sprouts and assorted vegetables and spices) are more than most can finish in one sitting. Although the menu describes itself as "Exotic Thai Cuisine," nothing here is particularly exotic. However, the restaurant offers a separate menu for its Thai customers, including several items not featured on the American menu, with extra herbs and spices more palatable to tongues accustomed to traditional Thai flavorings.

Insider Tips
Where to SitTables along the front windows or on the sidewalk afford some of the best people-watching in Boston, but they're very popular. Call ahead to insure a spot.
Know Before You GoMany spicy dishes default on the side of scorching hot. Specify your preferred spice level upon ordering to avoid receiving a dish too hot to eat.
The ExtrasAsk the chefs to steam your tofu instead of frying: They're happy to oblige.

pricey for thai food. portion is small. nice decor and all, but total experience does not provide good value for money. pad see ew (flat noodle w/beef) was good though. :)
Pros: right by newbury street--the hot spot, T accessible (green)
Cons: parking

I have been to Bangkok Blue a few times, as it is convenient to my work place. The service is fast, flavors far more authentic than other Thai places I have tried (innumerable), and they don't use MSG (I asked!). Considering the Copley location, the prices are very reasonable. The best part is that they have a menu for the American palate and a menu for the Thai palate. If you want to try dishes not available in most Thai restaurants, just ask to look at the Thai menu, it has English translations. My favorite is the fried cat fish salad.
Pros: Steps from Copley T, Authentic menu, Alfresco dining
Cons: Hard to Park
