Mesob Restaurant and Bar

Cha Yen Thai Cookery is one of the best thai restaurants in Boston for dining, especially if you want a strong option in Boston.
Cha Yen Thai Cookery didn't start with ambition for a dining room — it started with eight seats and a takeout window in Coolidge Square, Watertown, and built its reputation one MSG-free, made-to-order plate at a time.

In the North End, where Italian-American dining has been performed for tourists at markup for decades, O'Cheese operates on a different frequency entirely.
