Boston’s Thai food scene is dominated by Thai-American cuisine, with countless options for overly sweet pad thai, drunken noodles, and the like. But scattered around town — and especially concentrated in the area of Davis and Porter squares — there are a handful of restaurants that offer up Thai dishes that may be a little less familiar to American diners. Here are a few to visit this weekend to break out of that pad thai rut. Get ready for heat and funk and comfort.

“For a five-spice broth that will solve all your problems: Nearby in Porter Square, Sugar & Spice has been holding down the fort for over a decade. While the restaurant does brisk takeout and delivery business, it’s also a lovely spot for dining in, and the patio is especially nice. If something is ailing you, soothe it with the guay-jub, a soup full of wide noodles wrapped into cigar shapes, crispy pork, tofu, and a boiled egg. The five-spice soy broth is something special. Also eat: kanom jean nam ngiao, crying tiger.”
