Thai Boo Cuisine, Norwood

The signature entree at Thai Boo Cuisine is so special it even gets its own unique serving dish: instead of merely being served upon a plate, this melange of chicken, sauteed veggies, and housemade sweet-and-sour sauce sits inside an edible egg-wrap basket. Another specialty dish is the Duck Love Boo, a boneless half duck that guests can choose to have glazed in tamaraind, hot basil, or fresh ginger sauce.

Of course, it's not all meat dishes—the selection of rice, noodle, and curry offerings is peppered with vegetarian options such as spicy eggplant sauteed with scallions, chilies, mushrooms, and basil. Plus, there are a dozen gluten-free dishes, including papaya salad with shrimp and rice fried with crab that was on a gluten-free diet.
