Lemon Thai Cuisine


Lemon Thai Cuisine, 555 Washington St, Wellesley, MA 02482
Easily overlooked but not to be missed...
The pad thai alone will redefine your standard of this noodle dish. A perfect balance of flavors-- not too sweet or fishy, the noodles are soft but not mushy. The tofu pad thai has lightly pan fried nuggets of tofu, slightly browned on the outside and soft on the inside. The country pad thai has an extra kick of spice with an extra punch of peanuts. Each dish served with water bursting bean sprouts and juicy lime wedges.
The curries are light and flavorful. I like the yellow curry with added mango in addition to the pineapple. The Shrimp pik king is spicy with fresh green beans that have a slight crunch. Siam chili fish has a delicious special sauce. The fried rices have some original ingredients such as tomato wedges and broccoli which work surprisingly well. You can also request brown rice in place of the white. Also, you can have them omit ingredients (like egg if you're vegan or tomatoes if you don't like them). Save room dessert. The mango sticky rice is served with generous slices of mango accompanying a rectangular warm rice patty with a slightly sweet coconut creme sauce topped with toasted rice kernels.The Thai Iced Tea is great and the restaurant also allows you to bring in your own wine or beer.
This is by far the best thai food in the Boston area. The restaurant has a warm and pleasant feel. The waitstaff is attentive and friendly
