Best place in Boston, had a lovely dinner with my mum, place just so unique, wall murals are amazing, service is quick, ladies are very friendly, and the owner is always around to tell you some interesting stories! Love the place, would recommend it to anyone who likes Thai cuisine!

This place is such a hidden gem! We're always made to feel welcome & the staff are very attentive, nothing is too much trouble. The food is truly some of the best Thai we've ever had & we've tried places all over the UK. It's definitely worth booking as they're always busy & that speaks volumes. If you want amazing flavours & high quality service that's worth travelling for then this is the place!

Six stars! Sometimes 5 just isn’t enough. This is a fantastic restaurant and because it’s relatively small it has a more homely and personal feel about it. The owner was very welcoming and took time to talk through the menu and make recommendations. The food itself was honestly the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Beautifully presented, bursting with flavour and a good level of spice, for the dishes we ordered. Portion sizes are generous and it is sensibly priced for the quality of the food too. My only regret being that, sadly, we were only in Boston for the one night! Very highly recommended and a definite 6 stars if that were an option.

Wow! Visited Lincolnshire with family for a short getaway. On our final evening we travelled into the town of Boston for food at Monkey & i, after having read positive reviews online. I am very pleased to say it did not disappoint. The proprietor was so friendly, helpful and confident in the menu, was able to offer suggestions and opinions on what to order. The food itself was presented to one of the highest standards I have seen, (especially for a small restaurant,) and tasted even better. The seafood, vegetables and lamb shank were all really fresh and tasty. With special recognition for the fried chicken dumplings and tempura vegetables, both being clear favourites for the meat eaters and vegetarian of the group. Every single member of the family came away stuffed and satisfied. The overall price although high in comparison to other places in the area, was fair and reflective of the quality of the food and service. This is a real little gem hidden away on Church Street, I would absolutely recommend!

Absolutely brilliant restaurant! Excellent food and service. Nothing on the menu that isn’t highly rated. Worth every penny! Lovely atmosphere and Matt is always happy to get whatever you’d like to drink if its not already stocked.
