I liked Black Ruby. It was our first time here and we had a res on a Saturday night so it was kind of busy. The restaurant is smaller than I imagined but not bad at all. I didn't think the music matched the vibes very well and I feel like the lighting could be improved, the table we got sat at was very small but we made it work. The drinks were decently good but not what I expected. We got the seasonal chowder, the Caesar salad, larb parm fries, green curry pasta, and the massaman burger. The soup was delicious and we enjoyed it a lot, subtle sweetness but so much flavor. The Caesar wasn’t amazing but it was decent. The larb fries were so good, tangy, sweetness, and slight saltiness making you come back for more. The pasta was a good fusion of flavors, very different. And the burger was a

After a month long wait for our reservation, we came here for dinner. Our table was ready and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Service was decent with polite and attentive waitresses. They were out of scallion fries, but sweet potato fries were crispy. Ginger lemongrass tea felt like a warm cozy hug. Mango sticky rice dessert was yummy and even had the vegan ice cream option. I really wanted to try the famous green curry burger with the tofu substitute, but I learnt that the sauce has chicken soup base. The sauces in most other burgers and pastas have chicken/fish/shrimp. Others reviews are misleading about many vegetarian/vegan options at least for main course, especially if you are a strict vegetarian/vegan. Partner got the Thai tea martini and pork dumplings which were good. The fi

They serve phenomenal Thai-Western fusion dishes! I’d say this was one of the best restaurants I went to during my trip to Boston. I also appreciate how accommodating they are for people with dietary restrictions. We ordered 2 of their burgers and they came out pretty quick. I liked the uniqueness in how they turned a Thai dish into a burger without taking away the authenticity. The seasoning and sauce was just the right amount that it didn’t overpower the chicken and rest of the burger. Staff was responsive and friendly.

MANNNNNNNNN! This place was incredible! Everything my friends got was 10s across the board. Food came out relatively quick as well! I got the massaman burger, quite literally the best burger I have ever had. Service was so sweet and efficient! This place is really packed as they should be! So I do reccomend getting a reservation ahead of time! :) I can’t wait to come back here more often :)

I really love the Larb Pork Burger! The pork is juicy, and the sauce has a perfect balance—it’s flavorful without being too rich, making it easy to keep eating. The burger bun has just the right texture—not too soft, not too hard—which makes it stand out from typical burger buns. I truly appreciate how the restaurant presents Thai food in a creative and modern way while keeping the authentic Thai taste. It’s refreshing, enjoyable, and makes me excited to try Thai food in a whole new form!
