If there is a Shangri-La of restaurants, Brown Sugar is it. Clearly they make the most of their location near Boston University with a simple formula: offer some of the best Thai food you'll find anywhere in the US + good-sized portions + attentive service + bargain prices = huge success. The college crowd and foreign tourists keep the tables full and turning-over quickly, and allow Brown Sugar to offer exqisitely prepared, fresh Thai food to the rest of us at prices that are almost astonishingly low. Our last dinner visit, four of us left quite full and happy, with a doggie bag, for $44.00 + a well deserved $9.00 tip (note: none of us ordered wine or liquor). A real find for entertaining family, friends, and kids, or just me and my bride of 34 years.
