Montien Thai Restaurant

This was a hidden find. Was walking around hungry on a cold Boston night. We all were craving for hot nice food… Thai is always a good option. We were seated right away. My family ordered some cocktails and mocktails. And we started with tom yum soup. The food was nice and warm. Chicken satay was sad. The Thai curries and pineapple fried rice was good. Service was a little slow. I would have appreciated if they let us add the gratuity. 20% was already added.

The food was good but the service was not. Usually, I don’t expect a lot from smaller restaurants but did not appreciate how I was treated there. My friend and I each got a lunch special which was good. However, after I paid the bill and got my change back, I left a $5 tip (a bit over the recommended 20%) in the pocket so it wouldn’t fall out. When we left I stopped to take a picture of the outside so I could recommend it to others and our server came out and asked why we didn’t leave a tip, which I had. When I asked if she had checked the pocket she then backtracked and went back inside without really apologizing. Honestly, I almost wanted to take my tip back after that, especially since all she really did was bring us water, menus, and food without any additional above or beyond service

Loved it. Lots of GF options too! We got Thai tea, pad Thai, red curry, and coconut soup. It was all so fresh and delicious. Service was SO kind and didn’t wait long at all. Def recommend!!!

Very good Thai food. Atmosphere is more western bar style and food also has light touch of western style but good thai flavor. Also great service 👍

I've been here on and off over the years. This is one of the longest opened restaurants in chinatown. They meticulously clean inside and outside..I see them when I walk to work and it is admirable. The food is consistent here. They have a lot of different cocktail recipes here.. only 2 beers on tap currently which I love beer but having only 2 choices is a little light. Tonight was UFO and Sapporo which isn't horrible at all. I do like their food and will be back again.
