For several of our company outings from our office located near South Station in Boston, we have chosen Mon Tien as the restaurant to host lunch or dinner for our group reservations. It is always a popular choice amongst our group and in my opinion one of the better restaurants in Boston's Chinatown.
Mon Tien's menu focus is on Thai cuisine. They have many dishes that are familiar to other Asian restaurants (fried rice, chicken and broccoli, etc. ) as well as dishes prepared with Thai curries and ingredients traditional to Thailand like lemongrass. Mon Tien also has an extensive sushi menu- highly recommended is the "Caterpillar roll" which does not actually contain caterpillars but is laid out to look like a cute Caterpillar with carrot antennae and vegetable eyes. It's all very creative.
Prices at Mon Tien are typical for Asian food in this area with entrées ringing in at about $10-$15 a piece. Sushi orders can get expensive (as with all sushi places around here) so be aware of how much you're ordering.
The ambience of Mon Tien is very nice and it is tastefully decorated. Booths and accoutrements are clean and have a modern Asian feel to them. It is a great restaurant for group reservations or for nicer dinners out. This restaurant is also conveniently located in the heart of the theatre district so it is a great pick for before or after you see a show.
Service is friendly and efficient. Mon Tien has a full liquor license also making it a good pick for entertainment purposes (not all Chinese restaurants in the area have this luxury). This is also an excellent restaurant for those that are less adventurous when it comes to ethnic dining- the servers have no problems answering questions about the content of the menus.
