Cha Yen Thai Cookery - Watertown

Having lived in Thailand for many many years and eating Thai food in the US I can tell you this is some of the best Thai food I've ever eaten. Not too sweet, plenty of spiciness but not too spicy, and fresh clean ingredients. Second visit, great food but too sweet!

You know when you get that itch for a certain food and you gotta have it that night? I feel like Cha Yen is the perfect spot to get your Thai fix. Prices are very reasonable, portions are good and the flavors are plentiful. Not pictured was the beef khao soi which IMO is def a five star dish. The chicken wings also get 5 stars as they find a way to sauce them with zero sogginess, SO GOOD. The other standard dishes we ordered like the pas thai, pork larb and tom yum soup were all serviceable but not exceptional. Would def order takeout again from Cha Yen

The food is out of this world. EVERYTHING is delicious, We had a table of 4 people and I tried everything everyone ordered, ALL was fantastic. I could not recommend this more. Really do yourself a favor and book a meal here, You'll thank me later.

Great Thai food in a nice atmosphere. Beware of the double star dishes very spicy! Update 2024. Our favorite Thai food in near Belmont. The food is fantastic. So flavorful and fresh.

Drinks arrived after food,soup arrived after main course. Fried cod was cremated. Green curry too thick and beef was like shoe Rice came last. Beer cans exploded when opened. Very disappointed
