Brown Sugar by the Sea

I didn't want my meal to end it was so good. Had the Brown Sugar Mango Curry with chicken. It was spicy, sweet and so fresh tasting. If I were to have any complaint it would be the curry does not include any rice or noodle with it, but is a separate side order. This does not take away from the high quality and great taste of the meal I had. Would not hesitate to eat there again.

Many vegan options! Cozy chairs, a water view, an aquarium, and mellow jazz background music. Live music on Saturdays after 6pm.

Food was flavorful and came out piping hot! Took a friend here and I got the drunken noodle while she got the pad thai. Nice atmosphere and we sat by the fish tank. Will definitely be back and make this our regular spot whenever we’re in Newburyport.

Brown Sugar By The Sea is a standout Thai restaurant. The food is fresh and made to order. The staff are friendly, helpful, and very attentive. And the setting near the water in a coastal town is perfect. Thai food is my favorite type of food, and BSBTS is easily the best offering North of Boston. I live 40 min away and make the drive over at least once a month for takeout or occasionally dining in, purely because of how great the food is. Fresh vegetables, delicious sauces and spices, and authentic recipes served with a smile. Literally you can't beat it anywhere in a 20 mile radius. I've eaten at literally every Thai restaurant in the region, and this is the one. It's worth the drive, even if it's not close.

Really enjoyed eating lunch at Brown Sugar by the Sea. Great location, easy parking, delightful atmosphere, and the food was delicious. We had Pad Thai, Stir Fried Tofu with Mushrooms, and Thai Sweetened Tea. Compliments to the chefs--well done!

5 stars. From the hostess seating us to the extremely pleasant water
girl to our fabulous and knowledgeable waiter it was top notch. We had a brown suger Colada which was awesome and had a nice kick. Then came the food- spectacular! Hot,fresh large portions and incredibly tasty. Sunday nights they also have a wonderful jazz pianist. Coming back next month!

The chive cakes and the mango curry are a must try

Tried their shrimp shumai, curry puffs and green curry. Can't go wrong with those but to their credit they nailed it. Would definitely go again.

This place is amazing! Came here with my parents and all of our meals were amazing. Such good stir fries with super fresh vegetables! Amazing choices for vegan/vegetarian dishes as well as meat dishes. Great atmosphere inside and there was a guy playing soft guitar that really added to the ambiance.

Love this place so much! Would give it 10 stars if I could!

This is one of our favorite restaurants ever and it's always fantastic. It was our last restaurant we went to before lock down and first one back. We had the Brown Sugar Mango Curry and the Garlic stir fry last night and they were great dishes. Service was friendly and timely. The outside dining option is really pleasant and nice what they've done.

The best Thai food I have ever had! Everything about Brown Sugar by the Sea is perfect!

Our family tried Brown Sugar by the Sea for the first time Memorial Day Weekend for takeout. We were delighted by the quality and taste of the food. We had the Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai. We also got an appetizer of the Chicken Fresh Rolls and those were delicious as well. I would go back again just got an order of those. We will definitely visit again.

Ate here twice while in Newburyport, I was not disappointed. Friendly staff, live music, and vegan options are among the many reasons I will not hesitate to dine here again!

Very tasty authentic Thai cuisine. Better to point out what you want rather than ordering in Thai unless you know for sure.

Food was great and service was fantastic. An app to share plus an entree each (also good to share) and your comfortably full. Will definitely return.

I love coming here, especially on my birthday! The atmosphere is really nice, people are great and the food quality and taste is consistent. I like the live music, too. I do wish you would stop charging extra for rice!!

This place is an absolute gem! The food service and ambiance is as good as it gets. The food is fresh, clean and delicious. The drinks are expertly crafted and the servers (Moi and Bank) are simply the most pleasant and attentive servers I have ever encountered. I moved to Newburyport one year ago and despite having many excellent restaurants this is truly the best in my opinion. I eat there now several times per month.

Absolutely delicious with great vegan options! The red curry with tofu and brown rice was absolutely 🔥

One of our favorite Thai restaurants (before/after a walk on the beach, of course). Easy menu for a vegan, vegetarian, and/or GF.

Our first outing since things started reopening. Delicious food, great spot and awesome waitstaff! All precautions were taken and followed!
