Thai Restaurant · Fenway - Kenmore - Audubon Circle - Longwood · 50 tips and reviews
Totsaporn Intarabumrung: 100% authentic Thai food. Native Thai eat here.
NYC Eclogues: I love Thai food and this spot makes to perfection. Their authentic noodle soups are savory and tasty but can feed a family of four. This restaurant focuses on the cooking and not the decor.
Lillian Chen: Crispy pork basil dish, papaya salad, and pad thai dish are awesome! Authentic and delicious.

Cynthia Wee: We know authentic Thai food and it was NOT authentic. Food was bad and inconsistent.
Crick Waters: Super fresh! Best summer rolls I’ve had in decades. Tom yum goong soup was bright with tender shrimp and fresh mushrooms.
Scott B: Pad Thai is full of flavor (although looks bland), spring rolls are amazing, green curry was delicious. Everything was top notch

Bhavin Gandhi: On a winter night, two things you could do to have a crispy warm feeling. 1) sit by a fireplace 2) come to Pho Basil and have some of the best aromatic hot vegetable soups in the city. Love Pho Chay
Natalia Chilcote: Veggie pho with chicken broth and an egg to taste -- delicious!
Minnie Kim: Spicy rangoons were AMAZING & the Pho was the perfect meal to end a rainy day. So delicious

Japanese Restaurant · Fenway - Kenmore - Audubon Circle - Longwood · 39 tips and reviews
Noah Weiss: Fun take on a Japanese Izakaya from the famous O Ya team, with a Tokyo hipster vibe and tasty cocktails with lots of tiki drinks. The warm 'rando' section was great: curry noodle + oyako rice bowl.
Lindsay D'Andrea: I am torn. Really cool space, but the small plates rack up a cost I don't feel justifies the meal. Drinks are whimsical in name and ingredients but sometimes don't come together.
Elaine Courtney: Pro: If you're a Kiko Mizuhara fan her photos are all over the women's bathroom stalls. Con: if you're human the level of salt content in food here will LITERALLY kill you. Decisions, decisions.

Reserve: A tangy dessert to complement the rest of the Asian-American menu, the blueberries and cream cake is made with sesame shortbread and tangy maple whip. Read more.
Serious Eats: Brick-and-mortar version of the Mei siblings' food truck. Expect the usual faves, like the Double Awesome and braised beef dumplings, and bigger plates like pork chops and fried pork trotter terrine.
Hillary Yuan: GET THE DOUBLE AWESOME

Terence Chan: Love Pho Countryside! Generous portions and fair price. Get A5 and Bun Bo Hue! Jackfruit smoothie as well. Nice service. 4/5
Enrico Manalo: Pretty solid bun thit nuong cha gio, though the da chanh came hot, with ice in it. Never had it like that in Vietnam. Nice staff, but tra da is like 4 bucks.
Nicholas Ngo: Pho and goi cuon are amazing!

Asian Restaurant · Fenway - Kenmore - Audubon Circle - Longwood · 4 tips and reviews
Katie Kettenring: Chile citrus sauce is their spiciest and best option! I personally always make a custom bowl, which is a great option for vegans/vegetarians.
Jacob Mulligan: Get the panang curry with noodles and tofu or chicken! Little spicy, lots of flavor, healthy. Also, say hi to Steve at the cash register if he's around.
Ben Tilton: The pork with curry is great! The food is fresh and keeps getting better.

Jenny: Nigiri lunch special is a great deal and decent quality, good service too.
Totsaporn Intarabumrung: Lunch Set is the best
Minnie: You can dine in or take out. The new owner chef with decades' experience will not let you down: try Hotate or ika kaiyaki, tuna tataki, and sushiemon roll!
