⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lanna Thai Diner is an absolute gem in the world of Thai cuisine! Having been a loyal patron for about 20 years, I can confidently say it’s the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The flavors are incredible, and each dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients you can find.

What truly sets Lanna Thai Diner apart is not just the food, but the outstanding service. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making every dining experience enjoyable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time guest like me, you’re always greeted with warmth and a smile.

If you’re craving authentic Thai dishes, look no further! I highly recommend Lanna Thai Diner to everyone — there’s simply nothing better!

I got the chicken pad Thai for the first time and it was very hot and delicious! 10/10 recommend.

Diner Review №3

Diner Review №4

My Pad King was excellent, as was the service. However, being a diner, seating is limited, and only street parking is available.

The Lanna Thai Diner needs to be known

Diner Review №8

Always great food

Diner Review №9

The absolute definition of a hidden gem. This is basically the favorite restaurant of anyone who has ever come here in the last 20+ years. And they haven't told you because they have been jealously hording all of this delicious Thai food for themselves! They could be your friends, coworkers, even your own family. Why am I letting you in on this? Life is too short, and this isn't just a must-try restaurant, it's a line item on your bucket list, my friend. Fresh Thai rolls, chicken satay, green curry chicken, and a crazy dessert if you don't know where to start.

Diner Review №10

I really enjoyed the experience here. Th dining car aesthetic, the kind staff, and the yummy food really hit the spot. It was not necessarily my personal favorite thai food, but it was quite good, and I am sure would be excellent for other people's palettes. If you are in the area, you should take the time to check this out for sure!

Diner Review №12

Our visit to Lanna Thai Diner was enjoyable. It just so happens this area is host to many incredible Thai restaurants.

Whenever myself and my partner visit somewhere new, we end up ordering our "baseline" orders to kind of act of a foundation to what the restaurant is like for our favorite dishes.

The positives here is that there was no overindulgence. The food was not overly saucy, salty, or sweet. We both enjoyed the meal, but we agree that there may be better options nearby when it comes to flavor alone.

The host/server was very attentive and made sure to check in on us multiple times to see how things were and if they were to our liking.

I'm not 100% I'd recommend this as my first choice, but it seems to be somewhere where you can rely on consistency.

Diner Review №14

Loved this place. The only Thai diner that I've come across so far. Ordered the shrimp shumai, shrimp in Thai blankets, fish cakes and Thai fried rice and each one of these was something to write home about. The place is a little small, which makes it feel a little cramped, when there are many people around, which is why I took one star out for the atmosphere rating. There's a minimum charge for dining in, which you might want to take a look at before choosing to dine in rather than order out from.

Diner Review №16

Food is great but the quantity is so less. There was barely any noodles in my dish. Just filled with veggies.

Diner Review №17

Unique dining experience tucked away in Woburn, with great Thai food & service.

Diner Review №18

Been eating at Max’s Thai restaurant for over 15 years. I can honestly say his Thai food is the best around. Max is also one of the kindest restaurant owners I’ve come across. I know from experience it’s not easy running a restaurant and Max hits it out of the park on all levels.

Diner Review №19

DO NOT GO HERE!!! The man that we talked to was rude. We asked to change a few things and he blew up and said we were being picky and said he wouldn’t serve us! The consumer has this right buddy

Diner Review №25

We ordered Basil fried rice and pad thai; the spicy level was good and no sweet aftertaste. Parking will be a challenge.

Diner Review №28

The owners are so kind and friendly and the service is so quick. After living in Thailand, it’s been hard to find authentic Thai food in Boston but after finding this place, I’m never recommending anywhere else. It has the best Pad Thai, papaya salad and spicy basil!

Diner Review №29

Excellent spot, great food. Eat here

Diner Review №30

Really great for take-out lunch and probably my favorite Thai place in the area as well.

Diner Review №31

The existence of this place makes me very happy

Diner Review №32

Overall the food is good. The fried vegetable Thai rolls were cold in the middle, which means they were either refrigerated or frozen prior to being fried. The pad Thai was good. The diner atmosphere was fine. Good service.

Diner Review №33

Loved it. Eat here.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Best Thai food around. Max is the best as well. Never forgets a face or a name or what your dish of choice is even if it's been months since you have been in.

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

This was some pretty good Thai food. I loved the old diner feel to it. I'll definitely go back when I can.

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

Food is absolutely amazing and customer service was great

Diner Review №40

Absolutely delicious. Can't find a more fresh and tasty dish outside of home. Chicken pad Thai, and Thai Eggplant are a dish worth driving to.
If you like fried rice it's spectacular

Diner Review №41

Lanna Thai Diner was recommended by a friend who said it is "the best Thai he has ever eaten". We assumed it would be good given that recommendation, but it exceeded expectations! We had Spring rolls, Pad Thai, Basil Fried Rice, and Drunken Noodles and I cannot even choose a favorite because they were all ridiculously delicious. The basil fried rice had a nice kick to it so take those little chili peppers on the menu seriously. This will be our new go-to for takeout. I cannot wait to try more of their menu!

Diner Review №42

Great food prices and service. Small local secret

Diner Review №43

Lanna Thai is a regular choice for us. Whether we eat in or carry out, the food is always wonderfully fresh, the atmosphere welcoming, and the owner friendly. I eat vegetarian and the owner always goes out of his way to make sure my dietary needs are satisfied. Others I know who eat non-vegetarian dishes here always rave about their food. Tiny restaurant that is big on flavor! Love Lanna Thai Diner!

Diner Review №44

The food is amazing. I enjoyed the Yellow Curry Chicken with ginger tea.
I highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №47

Excellent place to eat, got the chicken pad Thai with hell spicy sauce. Wasn't hot enough for me but the food was excellent. 9 out of 10

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

What a glorious surprise! Don't drive past this place thinking it's another greasy spoon, inside is the most flavourful and fresh Thai food around.

Diner Review №50

Small but wonderful little place. Good food. Great service. Parking is a challenge but food is worth it. Lots of offerings from very mild to EXTRA spicy for your specific tastes.

Diner Review №51

Really cool resturant. Food was great although there's not alot of seafood options if that's your thing you'll be disappointed. Green curry chix was very good. Definitely going back.

Food was great forgot pictures reminded me of a diner which it most likely was before. Food was good as I said most importantly to me got pad thai basil rice pancakes and bags yummy will be back

Diner Review №57

Delicious food in a retro Worcester diner. Very kind service as well.

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

This place is my favorite Thai place to go in Massachusetts. What a special restaurant. I always go when I'm back visiting home. I recommend the green curry!

Best in the neighborhood. Very authentic!

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

I've been going here for the last 5 years and the food has always been great!

Diner Review №63

Food was so good, I forgot to take a picture before digging in! We got the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and Prik Pow and all was delicious! The restaurant is a little small and it was quite busy when we were there, but our server took great care of us and the atmosphere is spectacular

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Food is good. Service is 6/10.

Diner Review №66

Diner like setting. Great food.

Diner Review №67

While I have been to South East Asia many times, I have not had to opportunity to go to Thailand. But I can imagine that this is what the food is like.

I love Thai food and this ranks in maybe my top three. Cute location in an authentic old diner crammed in Woburn, MA. Everything was fresh and presented with care. The soups and curry were flavorful and spicy but not heavy or overpowering.

Looking forward to my next area visit so I can return.

Diner Review №68

Takeout from your favorite dine-in restaurant is an interesting reveal. Strip away the accessories (silverware, plates, etc) the service and the atmosphere, the food is left to stand on its own. At Lanna Thai there is nothing lost with takeout! Of consistently high quality, with the freshest ingredients, masterfully prepared dishes that more than stand on their own! The best around whether you dine-in or take out.

Diner Review №69

The owner is very friendly. Small place with lovely atmosphere. Food is great!!! We’ll come back again

Diner Review №72

food is excellent and great staff. Basif fried rice and pad Thai are delicious. nice gem in woburn.

Diner Review №73

Hands down my favorite Thai place! AMAZING food and byob (no cork fee). The choo chee curry is my favorite - especially with duck.

Diner Review №74

So service left somewhat to be desired. One guy was super quiet and unfriendly and the other was the complete opposite. No cashew option, was disappointing but once my food came out, I was surprised 😮. The 3 plates came out fast, great portions and for the presentation, well worth the price. It’s a good place to find many options -Thai food style with lunch deals.

Great food, great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №83

We enjoyed our experience and food here! There was a warm atmosphere with everyone coming in seeming to know Max very well. That’s how you know they have a base of regulars coming to enjoy their food. Their pad thai had great flavor and texture even without the peanut sauce, which was a nice bonus. They give a generous serving of fresh bean sprouts to give it a nice crunch whereas most places will cook it in the noodles that leave them soggy. The highlight was the sticky rice which was served with juicy ripe mangoes. We’ve found our go-to thai spot in Boston 👌🏼

Diner Review №84

Wow! The food was amazing and was spot on! I would highly recommend this place for pad Thai and must have the mango sticky rice!
Moving to a new area we were on the search for a new Thai place. We were seated quickly and service was great. The server was very friendly, attentive, and sweet.
My husband and I got Thai ice tea, a veggie soup, two Pad Thai, mango sticky rice. Food came quickly and was so delicious, fresh, and portions were great. Also I was shocked at the price, it was so affordable and worth it.
We are happy to say we found our go to Thai place now.

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Delicious, authentic food from a very courteous (and very Thai!) staff in a very charming diner. The flat rice noodles were cooked with love. I wish there were more restaurants like this in america

Diner Review №87

Amazing and authentic food in a small, cozy setting. The owner is so nice and everything was fresh, hot and perfect.

Diner Review №88

Food is just terrible. People seemed nice. It’s like bland watery food.

Delicious food, great service, and cute ambiance. This is the sort of place you see in movies, where the food nourishes your soul.

My fiance and I split an app, two entrees and a dessert, and it came out to 50$ for both of us. The highlight of our meal was the mango sticky rice dessert, which outcompetes the others I've had in the Greater Boston area, and our host coming back in between courses to refill our tea mugs and chat. The folks in the shop seemed to know eachother, and it had a really friendly vibe. I'm so glad we stumbled in. Cannot recommend enough.

Authentic Thai food! We lived in Thailand for 3 years and finally found the real thing here, so good!

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

We’ve been repeat customers since a while now, and this place has never disappointed us. The seating might be a little cramped, so I would rather suggest take-out for parties >2. The food is spot on and so are the hygiene and hospitality by the owner. There’s an item listed under ‘northern Thai specialities’ that’s made up of spicy ground chicken and it closely reminds me of spicy chicken kheema from back home in India. I would strongly recommend trying this item!

Diner Review №103

Excellent dinner

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

Great cute little restaurant. They can be busy. I was in when it was kinda slow, and got a chance to talk to the server. Man, does this staff work hard, they are so great with every customer that comes in. They are so amazing.

Diner Review №106

Cozy diner. Excellent food

Diner Review №107

A tiny but mighty little diner that serves amazing, authentic Thai cuisine. Get a table or sit at the bar. I love the masamam curry with tofu ... my all-time fave. But you can't go wrong with any selection on the menu. Always fresh and cooked to order.

Diner Review №108

Great food and great atmosphere.

Diner Review №109

I have been going here for years as it is the best Thai food I have ever had. I am currently driving 45 minutes to get there, and it's worth it. Max is amazing.

Bring your own alcoholic beverages. Max is great! Fast service, great food!

I've found my new favorite Thai place!!!!
Everything is so fresh and delicious. I'm enjoying working my way through the menu.
The choo chee chicken curry is my favorite to date and the fried Thai rolls are little bites of heaven.

Diner Review №114

Delicious!
If you r in Boston and looking for authentic Thai cuisine, this is the place!
We have tried pad Thai shrimp, green chicken curry, papaya salad, pineapple fried rice and tom yum soup and all sooo good))
Definitely coming back!

Diner Review №119

Pretty disappointing it was to arrive after a long drive 30 minutes before the posted closure time and see a closed door. Then someone inside, seemed like the manager, would not even acknowledge seeing us and actually very rudely showed his hands away to us after a few knocks to leave. My showing to the posted sign that there is still 30 minutes did not have any effect. Very upsetting experience.

Diner Review №120

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had, everything was perfect and delicious!

Diner Review №121

Very good Pad Thai, good service and nice atmosphere.

Diner Review №122

The Baa Mee Heang is absolutely delicious. Tom Kha soup is perfect. Friendly people.

Diner Review №123

Everything was fresh and very yummy 😋 😍

Diner Review №124

The most authentic Thai food around. Great prices, big plates, and you won't be disappointed. You might have to wait a bit for a table so I suggest to call for reservations. Take out is also an option. Either way it's worth the wait

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

Diner Review №127

You may not know about Lanna Thai, but I definitely recommend you find out. Quaint little establishment tucked away in Woburn inside of an old dining car, with some of the best Thai I've had around. Savory, excellent mix of vegetables, very satisfying portions. Everyone at PM Group loved it!
Thanks Max!

Diner Review №131

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu--everything is delicious! I especially like the Tamarind Duck, Panang Curry, Nam Prik Oong, and Pad Thai. When mangos are in-season, be sure to try them for dessert with sweet sticky rice. Max is a wonderful host and the atmosphere is charming--an original diner car from the Worcester Diner Company. Recently renovated, everything is clean . Get here early for dinner though--its small and fills up fast! Street parking can be a challenge, but there are often short-term parkers who are just picking up take-out so you can usually grab a space after someone leaves.

This has become a favorite place to eat now, excellent food, excellent service. First time we went happened to be for the girlfriend's birthday, we were given complimentary dessert. They're taking a long vacation, but will be back mid May. Visit and enjoy fine Thai cuisine!
Personal preference, ask for Extra Spicy! 😁

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №159

Easily one of my favorite Thai places in the area. Old school diner aesthetic mixed with great Thai food and decor is a wonderful mash up worth the visit.

Diner Review №160

I love this place! Call to make sure they are open because they are often on vacation to Thailand.

Diner Review №161

Food is great, service is awesome and quick, always fresh ingredients

Diner Review №162

Really on the fence between 4 & 5. I will say if you get to go make sure you stir it up to get the sauce that settles mixed back in. Picked up lunch and had their Pad Ba-mee noodles. Great balance of protein, veggies, and noodles. Can't wait to try something else next time. Wish I would have taken a pic.

Diner Review №163

Diner Review №164

Really good Thai food at reasonable prices! The location is small but very efficiently run. I have never had to wait long there.

Diner Review №165

Tiny diner but hospitable host. No wait but seating was cozy. Food authentic and served fresh. I had the red curry with beef which was not too spicy. Pad Thai also decent. Portions not huge but satisfying. Loved the curry puffs! Iced Thai green tea was unique and tasty. Nice place for a lunch date.

Diner Review №166

Great Thai food. My favorite Thai place in the area, and recently reopened. I've ordered many items on the menu, & always pleased. My go-to's are generally chicken or shrimp Pad Thai, and fresh spring rolls, but their curry dishes are great too.

Diner Review №167

Quite disappointed. I ordered pad Thai for takeout. I get that the dish won’t taste as good as if I’m sitting inside the restaurant but the flavor just wasn’t there for me. I spent a little over $17 before tip. One positive is that the food was ready extremely fast.

Diner is fully open for inside eating and Max is as friendly as ever. Interior has been fixed up and the food is as amazing as it always was. A hidden gem in Woburn.

Diner Review №185

Excellent food, very pleasantly surprised

Diner Review №186

This may be one of the best restaurants period. The waiters were amazing, they were very nice and always were checking in on us constantly, it was actually amazing. The food. Was amazing, I felt bad I couldn’t finish it all, it was some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had, I got Pad Thai, and Sticky Rice, and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Their hot chili oil was also extremely flavorful. The environment is super cozy and iconic in that it’s also in a diner setting which I personally Adore. All in all a 10 out of 10 experience, I’m from out of town but I would go out of my way to come back to this restaurant.

Diner Review №187

Delicious food!! The chicken pad Thai is a must have and I loved the fresh Thai rolls with their peanut sauce. Very flavorful. Sometimes I know pad Thai doesn't taste as good the next day but my leftovers were just as good as when I had them fresh. Very friendly service as well. I can't wait to try their other dishes

Diner Review №188

Diner Review №189

OUTSTANDING!
This was my first time to Lanna, and I was completely surprised and overwhelmed by the experience.
Fresh, hot, and delicious authentic Thai food served in a snug and intimate setting.
The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, the place was scrupulously clean and bright, and the food was among the best Thai food I’ve had in the Boston area and suburbs. Standout hits were the Tod Mun, chicken sate, fresh rolls, and the Pad Thai.
You won’t be disappointed!

Diner Review №200

Just tried some takeout from Lanna Thai. This is probably the best Thai food my wife and I have had in the US.
