Laughing Monk Cafe – Mission Hill
Laughing Monk Cafe’s Huntington Avenue restaurant is in Mission Hill, near Brigham Circle. The kitchen serves Thai food alongside a sushi bar, with weekday lunch specials and an evening drinks program that includes sake and Japanese whisky. It gives a table room to combine Thai dishes and sushi rather than committing everyone to the same kind of dinner.
Reservations and walk-ins are available, with pickup and delivery for meals elsewhere. The restaurant has separate plans for its omakase counter and live-music programming, so check the current calendar before booking specifically for either. At present, the website says omakase will return in winter and live music is planned for fall 2026. For a regular meal, choose the Mission Hill branch when ordering; the Wellesley and Allston locations have different offerings.
