Cha Yen Thai Cookery - Watertown

The overall experience at this Thai restaurant was quite good. While it wasn't extraordinary, it didn't disappoint either. The baby corn appetizer was very tasty, and the stir-fried noodles were also well done. The prices are reasonable, making it a place worth trying.

Kee Mao and grilled vegetables were great. The pad see ew unfortunately smelled and tasted not so great :

This restaurant serves the best Thai food in the area! Whenever we are within a 30-minute drive, we always make sure to stop by. Our favorite dishes are the cashew nut and basil stir fry.

We often eat in at this restaurant and also frequently order takeout. It is definitely the top Thai restaurant in the Boston metro area. Even after a few years, it remains the best option in the Boston metro area.

We have visited 3 times and the first two times were great. Ordered green curry and pad thai for my daughter. Eggplant for my mom. Service was ok. Second time we ordered sticky rice and it never came. So we csnxelled it. Gave the place 5/5 still. The third time we went on a Friday night and it was a totally different experience. Ordered the short rib which were delicious in flavor and super tender, but so salty I could barely eat them. In contrast the pad thai was so sweet and mushy my poor daughter could not eat most of it. My 12 yo daughter has never refused pad thai. It is her favorite food. We could not even complain about it because no one ever came to check on how the food was. I was about to cancel the sticky rice order because we wanted to leave so badly, but my poor child was so hungry she was happy to eat her sticky rice to offset the sugar in her pad thai which she did not even want to bring home. Not sure if the weekend cook is a different cook, but the service and food was so disappointing I had to change my original review. Not sure if I want to come back.
