" I can't recommend Summer Buffalo enough! The interior has this cozy, inviting feel, and it doesn't hurt that the food is absolutely delicious. I’ve tried the mango sticky rice, which was simply the best I’ve ever had. Every dish we've tried has been spot on; fresh ingredients and authentic flavors make it worth every penny. Staff is friendly – you won’t regret coming here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant dining experience here—my friends and I enjoyed a range of dishes, from spring rolls to curry. The flavors were vibrant, and everything tasted fresh. Although the service could be quicker during peak hours, the staff remained cheerful and accommodating. If you're looking for quality Thai food, this is your spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Summer Buffalo after hearing lots of great things and was eager to try their specialties. The larb was hands down the best I've tasted, with the right amount of herbs and spices. The atmosphere was charming but could get a bit warm inside due to the cooking, so keep that in mind. Just slight criticisms on comfort, but overall, a stellar dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Summer Buffalo felt like a real treat! The pad thai was rich with flavor, and it’s nice to see them offering a vegan menu as well. It felt authentic and homemade, which is hard to come by in many restaurants nowadays. My only suggestion would be to be more efficient in serving drinks throughout the meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed by my last visit to Summer Buffalo. Though the food had its moments, like the curry, I found it lacked the complexity of flavors I've encountered elsewhere. Service felt a bit rushed, likely due to being busy, which detracted from the experience. I hope this was just an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited a few weeks back and were pleasantly surprised by the menu diversity. The portions were generous, and we left feeling satisfied. The ambience was welcoming, and the staff seemed to put a lot of effort into customer service. I would definitely recommend it for families looking for a casual dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Summer Buffalo stands out as one of the best Thai places in Melrose! I’ve tried their Pad See Ew, and it has a unique twist that many other restaurants lack. The homemade sauce is a game-changer! Also, the ambiance is perfect for a casual yet special night out. Great for groups or a romantic dinner. The staff was warm and attentive. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
