100% recommend!! Needed to reserve on a random weekday, early lunch but so worth it. Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason. The beef massaman 🍛🫓 was incredibly umami and packed with flavor. It was rich and creamy, pairing perfectly with the chewy roti. The spice gently kicks in at the end but never overwhelms. This was easily my favorite with a 'wow' factor. 🫶 The crab curry 🦀 was milder in flavor compared to the beef massaman but still deeply rich and umami. The thin noodles soaked up all that crab sauce beautifully, and the fresh cucumbers added the perfect crisp balance. Another 'wow' factor dish although I wish there was some pickled veggie like kimchi (lol very Korean of me) to balance out the heaviness. The pomelo salad 🥗🦐 was super refreshing, with plump, juicy prawns that really el

It was one of the best Michelin-listed restaurants we’ve been to in Boston. Hands down the best pad thai of my life. I honestly didn’t know pad thai could be this moist and flavorful. I went after every last noodle on the plate. The curry underneath the lamb was incredible, rich and deeply satisfying. We also ordered the pork cheek, which was extremely tender and packed with authentic Thai flavor. The lemonade had a subtle touch of honey, which I loved, though I wished the portion were a bit more generous. The service was superb. Everyone was genuinely warm and friendly. I was honestly surprised by how much they smiled and checked in on us. Our water was always refilled promptly, and they even brought fresh water while we were finishing the last bites of our final dish. The price was rea

We heard about this place from the Michelin guide. Definitely worth getting a reservation! Cozy atmosphere, perfect for a date night. Cocktails- Booze Sa Baa, Bangkok First Class, and Rambutini. Our favorite was the Booze Sa Baa. To eat got the Khao Tang Na Tung, Beef Massaman, Kang Puu, the BBQ Crispy Pork Over Rice, and the Pumpkin Custard. We loved the massaman and the crispy pork, but all of the dishes were delicious.

We visited Mahaniyom to share some small plates during lunch on a Saturday. It seemed like most tables were reserved, so we ate at the high top near the entrance, which has 4 seats and gets a bit chilly. My favorite dish we tried was the pomelo salad. It had great texture and fish saucey flavor, and the shrimps were huge and tender. I'd get this again. The crabmeat crispy rice appetizer (khao tang na tung) had a great crunch, but I would have preferred more crabmeat than chicken. The crab curry dish was a pretty typical coconut milky curry -- this dish also could have used more solids in the curry, whether that be crabmeat or something else. The beef massaman was pretty sweet, which is not my preference. My friend said it was the best massaman she's ever had, though! Overall I would be

Sunday lunch starts at 12pm and the place was packed; the Bib Gourmand awarded a month earlier plus Sapphire Reserve card promo were mentioned by folks sitting nearby, and reservations were tough to get. Mahaniyom offers mostly small plates in the “Ran-Lao” style of Thai dining, but they also have daily specials (like Lamb Satay) that provide heartier portions. The smaller bites such as the Fried Chive Cake (mild squares that go down easy) and Khao Tang Na Tung (crispy rice crackers with crab meat on top) are small but tasty. If you like spicy food definitely order the Yum Som O (Pomelo Salad) and the Chicken Ka Praw (a standard Thai dish) which are excellent. I had to try the Pad Thai with Tiger Shrimp and it was workmanlike — good flavors but not much different than most Pad Thai (exc
