A young, diverse Cambridge crowd heads to Porter Square for exceptionally varied Thai cuisine served in futuristic environs.

The Scene
Exceptionally stylish for a Thai restaurant, Sugar & Spice caters to the bookish couples and graduate students who call Porter Square home. With curved, multi-colored walls, eye-catching lighting fixtures and an eclectic, international soundtrack, the dining area offers a modernist setting in which to enjoy a sprawling menu of Thai treats. Quiet, black-clad servers keep busy delivering extra dishes of tangy sweet-and-sour sauce or refilling water glasses.

The Food
The laminated, double-sided menu provides lovers of Thai cuisine with several tough choices. Classic items, including soft summer rolls (boiled shrimp and steamed tofu peeking through a clear rice wrap) and coconut-heavy curries, share tabletops with modern dishes like spicy steamed cod (disciplined palates notice a hint of lime) and a piquant jumble of fresh vegetables and chicken served in a crisp wonton shell (aka ''Excited Chicken''). Quality is high across the board, and portions are rather generous.
