Laughing Monk Cafe

Thai cuisine is the core offering, alongside sushi and Northeastern Isan specialties. The restaurant operates three distinct locations, each with its own focus. Mission Hill has a full Thai kitchen, sushi bar, and cocktails; its omakase experience is offered there and in Wellesley. Wellesley combines Thai food with a sushi counter and offers family dining. The Allston location specializes in Northeastern Thai Isan cooking, including grilled meats, papaya salad, and larb. The food draws on Thai culinary traditions and Japanese technique.
