Honestly the best food I've ever had, the crispy rolls are made fresh in house or a least taste like it. 10/10 would recommend the fried ice cream

Very good Thai food, very reasonably priced, and good value given their proportion size. Decor and atmosphere were above average, the place looked good and clean, nothing extremely special. Service was alright, servers did not really greet us or anything, it was very functional and efficient, which was fine, the job was done, just nothing exceptional. One thing about the service that did stick out was that the food was spicy, and we complained about it, originally we were met with a little bit of opposition, but they eventually made up for it giving the friend a sweet drink. Overall, I would come back, and give it a good reccomendation.

Absolutely loved the Brown Sugar Mango Fried Rice! Food was all around great and the service was kind and helpful. Many options from a range of prices, from a couple dollars to around twenty five.

My family and I frequented Brown Sugar when they started in the Fenway. As far as I know, they have 2 other locations now. I am not too keene on their Brookline location, but I waa at the Allston location this time, and it was great! Loved the food, the atmosphere was great, even kid/family friendly. My daughter is vegan/pescatarian and they had loads of options for her. She absolutely loved it.

Food is decent and atmosphere is relaxed. We liked the brown sugar duck and drunken noodles but did not like the Tom yum soup. A good place to meet with friends.

Great place. Authentic Thai food.
Birthday party has special music, light, and cake to celebrate.
Stuffed wings 4/5
Taste great with sweet chili sauce. Crispy chicken outing with stuffed inside. Without sauce it’s a bit dry
Tom yum gong soup 5/5
Super good. Authentic flavor
Khao Moo Dang 5/5
So good. Authentic flavor. Huge amount
Khao Kah Moo 3/5
Soft pork but no strong flavor. Sauce is sour spicy which I’m not a fan. I asked for sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Good Thai place. Loved the entrance and the interiors. Gives authentic Thai vibe. The hostess was very friendly and kept checking on us periodically. Service was quick and lot of menu on the items to choose from.
We ordered Thai ice tea, chicken satay, crab Rangoon, brown sugar mango rice, Salmon Sui sui curry.
Food tasted good overall. Salmon in the curry could have been softer. Almond in the mango rice could have been avoided. Although, I think these are not a big concern.

I came across Brown Sugar when I checked if Similan’s in Cambridge is still open. Basically their menu’s the same, and the food is also good!
I love the Crispy Catfish (more like a salad) and would have it with a side of plain white rice.
The crispy pork with chili and basil rice plate is also worth it. The pork is perfectly crispy and had no “smell”. I do recommend ordering mild as it could be really spicy.
Definitely will be back!

Brown Sugar Cafe is my favorite Thai restaurant. The food and service are always impeccable. My favorite lunch order was the chili duck rice plate with the lunch special of the side salad and chicken spring roll. I would ask the server to omit the onions. For dinner, there was a pork dish on the Thai special menu -- last item on the pork dishes page, that I liked, but didn't know how to pronounce. Brown Sugar is beautiful inside with high ceilings and pretty decorations. The ribs appetizer is addictingly good. The Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea are both wonderful, and I ask for little ice.

Been here many times and their food always taste great. Also the restaurant is always clean and people who work here are always very nice.
Highly recommend pad Thai, drunken noodle, pineapple fried rice and all the duck dishes.
