Chicken satay, fried rice & other Thai dishes are served in a basic space at this unassuming stop.
We have ordered from them many times and their food is really good. Today was a different experience though. We ordered a pick up and it was ready almost 30 min after the initial estimate. They were very busy. The chicken basil fried rice came with an insect in it. Totally bummed out!
This was another amazing find in Mass. Absolutely amazing, authentic Thai flavors. All the ingredients, including vegetables, were fresh in everything we ordered. The service was great. The restaurant itself was neat, clean, warm, inviting and beautiful. It made me miss Seattle. Will be back and the 2 hours drive was worth it, will always be worth it!
We love benjarong! Amazing drunken noodles, fried rice, great tom yum soup. Not my favorite curry but love everything else x100. The service is excellent!
Excellent food, great service, friendly staff. Very authentic Thai food so might be a bit different from what you’re used to, but so very delicious. We had the pad Thai and the panang curry. I asked for the curry to be mild on the spice and it was just the right spice level for me, milder than buffalo sauce, but spicier than a mild tomato salsa you’d buy in a jar. The pad Thai was so delicious, just the right combo of savory and sweet with the crushed peanuts on top (rather than being made with peanut butter). The lunch combo came with a soup and an appetizer. The app was fried pork dumplings and they were SO crispy and perfect, served with a sauce that tasted like honey.
If you like Thai food or want to try it, definitely check this place out.
Food is decent and flavourful but the take out service is just horrible. They messed up my order on multiple occasions, sometimes not giving all that i ordered resulting in multiple trips or sometimes preparing the food not as per the order. They often miscommunicate the pick up resulting in sometimes spending over an hour just to get the food correctly in a 5 mile radius. Clearly they have communication issues.
A nice place to have Asian food especially Thai food. Tried their chicken wings and they are good but needs more Thai flavors as mentioned. The wings were slightly overcooked and doesn’t have any breading. Only one option for sauce and was given a tiny portion of sweet chili sauce which is not enough. Overall good taste but would like to try their other dishes.
4.3 stars. Group dinner at family owned restaurant; the food was ordered by a Thai person. The food is generally pretty good, not particularly spicy as we had some people that could not eat spicy food, some dishes were a bit too salty. We had red curry, minced chicken with Thai basil, fried rice, sweet deep fried ribs (?), etc. I would return if I have a craving for Thai food that I can’t make myself (lived in Thailand for 7 yrs).
The food was pretty good. My meal could have used more shrimp though,I had the shrimp pad Thai. The Thai iced tea tasted mostly like creamer and you don't get to choose your appetizer with the lunch combo meal,you get two little egg rolls and soup,which again you don't get to choose.
I don't think I'll be going back.

Most times - good.
Have been going here 3 years, consistently great. Great lunch specials, great service. Mango curry with duck, kao soi, and drunken noodles are our favorites. Fresh rolls stellar, son loves the steamed dumplings (honey soy sauce!) and lo mein, daughter loves the beef noodle soup and fried dumplings. Scallion pancakes were amazing dine-in but not good carryout, need to be fresh. Top-notch crab rangoon.
Quick and delicious
Their ok, nothing ground breaking. This review is only for noodles.
When you come in the sign says they serve with sticks and you have to ask for utensils. This had me excited a lot of the authentic places do this. I never got sticks.
Ordered some noodles and it came out quite fast for a large menu. Chicken was well cooked with the noodles. There was some other things like onion, bit of egg and but not much in the way of vegetables or greens to balance out the meal.
If you like spicy, mid level spicy was just flavoring, go up a level. I suspect low isn't spicy at all.
It's ok, but I would rather go get some udon, tonkostu ramen, or a katsu curry.
Best Thai I have ever had in this area! Great value for the lunch menu, the crispy chicken curry and fries dumplings are excellent.

Love the food. They are very careful with allergy restrictions with our son so that's a big positive!

I've done both take and dine in, both wonderful and I will keep going back. Best Thai food.
Lovely authentic Thai food, friendly attentive staff in a pristine but casual atmosphere
Love the food especially the Pad Thai and drunken Noodles and the service!
Extremely friendly staff; the people here truly put passion and enthusiasm into everything they do! Food was incredible and we will definitely be back!!
Absolutely amazing food! From out of town and took a leap. Best food we’ve had throughout the trip. Had the pad Thai and pad see ew. Cannot wait to come back next year!
Great food very friendly environment waitresses are genuinely polite and care about their customers. Would recommend this place for anyone nothing on the menu will let you down

Great place for takeout or delivery, but its best to do that instead of dine in
Quick service, fresh flavors, good proportions, unique dishes. Nice ambience. Can accommodate big groups. Conveniently located in the center of the town and east access to the highway. Offers reservations and takeout. Kid friendly. Ample parking spots. Cheerful friendly people. Explained us the ingredients before placing an order

I don't think I'll be going back.
Cockroach-like insect in my pad thai. Was delicious (the pad thai, not the cockroach), but really disappointed in the cleanliness.
Amazing friendly and fast service and wonderful fresh food! Benjarong is the best.
Best Thai food I've found in the area. Ordered takeout and everything was really good.
Hidden gem! Food was delicious, atmosphere was delightful, and our waitress was super kind and attentive! Would definitely recommend and go again.
Everyone in our family of three loved this place. Food was DELICIOUS. Hostess was very warm. Ambience was OK. Definitely recommend it. We will be coming back soon. PS: My daughter says”BEST THAI FOOD EVER”
Great quality of food, service is amazing, atmosphere looks lovely.
Great Thai food.
We take out regularly. Food is always fresh and tasty. The bill seems a little larger each visit. ;)
Don’t go to this place one day it’s good the next terrible !!!
definitely don’t order here outside normal rush times you get a meal not even close to what you would normally expect
We at at Benjarong for the first time last weekend. The food was VERY tasty and came out hot and fast. The red curry was exceptionally flavorful! Highly recommend!

The drunken noodle had no flavor and was very oily. The chicken was grey and didn't look right.

My wife and I had the food here and it was incredible! I got the Thai Spicy Noodles, and it was delicious. My wife is vegetarian, and they had plenty of options for her, which is hard to find sometimes. She had the Drunken Noodles, she loved it. In my opinion, the best Thai food in the area!
1St Time service was great. the food was awesome because not everyone liked hot and spicy, so they accommodated but had no spicy. Had pad Thai with chicken and shrimp.
It's one of our quick take out choices nearby. They cook good Thai food, tasty and economical.
Tried a new pho place. They didn’t give noodles with the pho, which is a majority of the meal. When I tried calling when I got home (30 mins before close time) and no one answered the phone. I wanted to give the restaurant the opportunity to fix this, but no one answered after calling 8-10 times. Ok food, super poor service, leads to one star and me not going back here. Thanks for not answering your phone.
Great Thai place in the area. Clean and spacious. Food was authentic -- I'm from that part of South East Asia -- and quantity was just right for the price. We first came for lunch, loved it, and returned for dinner on Sunday. Service was always attentive and prompt. It is now my go-to Thai place in the area. Highly recommend it.
We were looking for a place near discovery museum for lunch. This place has great variety and great prices. The food was delicious and the service was so quick.
First time eating here. The appetizer with the lunch was a fried pork dumpling, and it was great. The soup was a rice and chicken soup, and it was also great. The chicken kapow was waaaay too salty, and very bland in flavor. The pad woon sen was pretty good, but has a standard boring brown sauce. Not sure if we'll be back.
It's like visiting family when dining here. They play and interact with my kids and their food NEVER disappoints! I recommend their pad Thai and their spring roll appetizer.
I drive out of my way to have the drunken noodles
This is a small Thai restaurant with great lunch specials. The food is good and the service is exceptional.
Entirely mediocre. Not value-for-money. Probably the most boring Thai meal I have had (since my introduction in the 1980s).
Dining here is Benja-WRONG.
While the Thai Spicy Noodles were good, the tom yum soup and the curries (we had Massaman/red/green) were rather tasteless. Very watery, nothing to commend them. And the quality of the chicken and beef was poor. Also, we ordered online and nowhere did it indicate that the curries (despite the price) DON'T include rice. You have to order that separately. The staff didn't warn be about that when I picked up the take-out order, and I discovered when I got home I had a bunch of curries with nothing to eat them with. Had to make my own. In the end it was hardly worth the effort.
Food was good in terms of taste, quantity was good as well. Prices were reasonable. Staff was friendly and kind. Dine-in did not seem that great though as the place was empty on Saturday night at around 8pm
Ordered for the first time from here last night. Blown away by how delicious the food was!!! Also very friendly experience picking up my order. A new go-to in my house!
Great place to eat after the children's discovery center museum. The staff were really nice. The place was super clean and neat. And the food was top notch. Not very spicy but still excellent flavors. Highly recommend if you're in the area!
The food is excellent and the service is great. The art is interesting.
Best Pad Thai around. The staff are very kind and friendly. Service is quick. Food is amazing
Good thai restaurant in the area
Food never disappoints! Best fresh rolls and thai food in metro west
We've tried quite a few Thai places in the area, but Benjarong is consistently the best in both deliciousness and price. Our favorite restaurant for Thai cuisine!
The food is excellent and the wait staff is really nice and the drinks really good.
Good food. Also veg-friendly.
A nice place to have Asian food especially Thai food. Tried their chicken wings and they are good but needs more Thai flavors as mentioned. The wings were slightly overcooked and doesn’t have any breading. Only one option for sauce and was given a tiny portion of sweet chili sauce which is not enough. Overall good taste but would like to try their other dishes.
I had the curry soup for lunch and it was really good. The staff was incredibly friendly and courteous. If I'm back in the area I'll try some of their other stuff.
Wonderful and attentive staff...delicious dumpling and crispy roll apps. Pad thai was perfectly flavored! My friend hankered for dessert and the warm coconut custard with rice did not disappoint...silky, creamy, subtly flavored comfort food. All around terrific.
The food was so good! Highly recommend.
Excellent taste! Ordered spring roll, drunken noodles (shrimp and chicken), and hot basil leaves with chicken (bit watery).
Ordered carryout, and ready at the promised time.
One thing to note is that they don't provide rice when you order an entree (maybe they forgot?)
I found this Thai place about 5 years ago on accident during some business travel that got extended. I am glad I found it. Benjarong probably is the best Thai food I have had in the states. Their spices are perfectly balanced and the flavors meld together as they should. Everything has been cooked well and it is very reasonably priced. The staff is always friendly. Every time I come through the area I always have to stop and pay them a visit for lunch or dinner.
My coworkers and I work 10 mins away and we get lunch here at least once a week. Everything is delicious and if you come during lunch you get free soup and dumplings with your meal!
Service was excellent as was the food.
Awesome
Boba tea for the win!
This place was SO good!! The food was absolutely fantastic. I highly reccomend the drunken noodles as well as the sweet and spicy noodles. I got crispy chicken on my drunken noodles and was NOT disappointed. We also got steamed dumplings that were fantastic, crab rangoons, and eggrolls. All of it was freshly cooked, served pretty quick and so flavorful. Do not sleep on this place! It is def. Worth it.
I've been disappointed by the food the past few times. The crispy chicken is way too overcooked and as a result the entire dish tastes burnt. I've only had one good experience with the crispy chicken. I had ordered delivery awhile back and was shocked that there was a note on my bag that I should have left at least a 20% tip... I was going to pay additional tip at the door with the cash that I had but when I saw that note on the bag, I was distraught. Will not return after that mentality. Very disappointed.
We've visited Thailand before and feel like this restaurant serves food that matches our memory of how food tasted on our trip. We like the Panang Curry and all the usual staple Thai dishes.
I got the mango curry and crispy pad Thai last night as a carry out.
The pad Thai was not crispy and it didn’t taste like anything, which is hard to do because Pad Thai has a very distinct taste. And the trend was the same for the mango curry. It was more of a watered down broth than anything resembling curry. It tasted so plain that I ended up making my own curry sauce to add to it so I could eat it. Flavorless curry… have you ever heard of such a thing!
Pretty bummed about it all because this restaurant is so close to my house I was hoping it would be my new go to.
Authentic Thai food. Would order delivery from here every day if I could. Prompt and friendly delivery. My order arrived hot, fresh, very well packaged. Great customer service.
Tasty, if fairly standard, Thai food, the major reason we patronized this restaurant more than usual was that they delivered to our address. This they no longer do; we will likely be looking for another Thai place which does deliver Real Soon Now. Have never dined in here, but would be willing to post-COVID. Staff is friendly, food is good, and prepared quickly. If you live nearby, or they deliver to you, would recommend.
Excellent food and service!
Food is outstanding.
We order food from Benjarong at least once a month. Most of their curries and noodle plates are really good. There's a very tasty butternut pumpkin curry which isn't on the menu anymore but you can still order. I highly recommend it.
Not good anymore
Took 1 hr for delivery. Order was wrong. Free spring rolls cost $1.00? I am afraid I will not ever order from here again.
One of the best gra pows I've had in MA. The spicing Thai noodles are delicious. HUGE quantities. A single dish is enough for 2 people. Great to have this in Acton. My fave Thai place.
Good food, great service. I order from here all the time, they've never gotten it wrong.
Delicious food. Great service.
Fried Rice was too salty, Sweet & Sour taste like Ketchup.
Pad See-ew wasn't bad, but not top class.
Would like to try their curry and some other noodle dishes to see if i can give them a better review. Overall Service was good.
Excellent food and service. Been a customer for over 15 yrs. They changed owners some years back and made some changes, but maintained the level of excellence the previous owners were known for. Have not eaten in restaurant since change of ownership.
Great service. We celebrated my sister in Laws birthday and it was fantastic
Favorite Thai place in the area. I'm picky/sensitive to some food and so always request no onions -- and they always get it right, even when it's just a note on the online order!
It was a good meal
They have by far the best food we love it! They are friendly, exceptionally fast with the food and it does not compromise the quality and/or flavor. We highly recommend this restaurant!!!!’
I've been eating here for about 15yrs. The place is not pretty but who cares, food is really good, prices low, and service polite and attentive. What else?
When I lived in Acton, this was one of my go to restaurants when I craved Thai food. Absolutely love the pad Thai and the red curry. I also really enjoyed the Thai iced tea, and they even have boba! Made so many memories here and I definitely recommend.
Service and food is excellent. Well worth eating here. Thanks
Must try panang curry, basil fried rice and drunken noodles
Lovely place with great food. The decorations are good and the staff was very nice. They made good suggestions that met the needs of my vegetarian diet. I loved the food here, the lunch combo was pretty good value. I will definitely visit again.
The food is always fresh and tasty. Online ordering makes takeout a breeze.
Really good food. Wish they made Meekrab though.
Love the food from this restaurant. We ask for No egg and No fish sauce in the food and they make it special for us.
Love their crispy dumplings and thai tea!
I've had plenty of Thai food in all the various places I've lived, including some larger towns and cities with a pretty diverse and robust selection of restaurant offerings. So it's a little surprising that I've never encountered a Thai place that can top this little gem in the small town I grew up in. We no longer live in Acton, but I still make the 40-50 minute round trip whenever we're having a craving for Thai takeout, because it's simply head and shoulders above any of the places near us. Everything I've had here is excellent, including the usual staples of pad thai and satay, but my personal favorites are the fried dumplings and the Thai spicy noodles. If you're into Thai food, definitely check this place out
They get the order right and the food is great.
Really good Thai food
Excellent take out, was in the area for business. Had the panang curry with chicken the first night and twas so good I came back for crispy pad thai with crispy chicken the next night.
Overpriced, terrible service
Overcook calamari
Overcook chicken
Microwaved food
This place would be out of business if not for the wealthy town of Acton
This restaurant is just delightful. The menu is extensive, all of the dishes that we've tried were delicious (especially the spicy Thai noodles & duck), & the service friendly & helpful. We try to go there every week (when they're open). Now we'll try the take-out.
Great restaurant, fast service, good food, low prices especially for lunch specials
Small, Thai restaurant with delicious food prepared hot and quick, Benjarong's is a great lunch option. Try the Drunken Noodles!
It was just okay
Wow! After being referred to Bejanrong by a friend and I was really looking forward to experiencing their food. She had such good things to say about their food. I put an order in for delivery, an hour went by and crickets. I called and they said that they were very sorry but they were very busy. "Very busy" - an hour for delivery when they are 4 miles away? We'll see when the food arrives but we are at 1.5 hours now and no food. They promised we would have hot food. Nothing yet. I'm not sure the quality of their food will ever make it possible for us to order for delivery again.
Pretty great for right around the corner. They are one of the few places around that will actually prepare a dish pretty spicy if you ask for it hot.
The food here is so delicious and flavorful. The servers are very attentive and food comes out quick!
Nice and fast service, a little pricey.
Spice managed with skill
Delicious!
I really liked food here, service was fast and friendly stuff
Always excellent food and service.
The basil fried rice and panang curry were pretty good. Portion sizes were somewhat small.
