South Main Street in Amherst’s plans
A Town of Amherst pedestrian safety study describes downtown as the town’s heart, noting that it includes the county seat, town hall and several key businesses and institutions, according to the Town of Amherst.
The Town’s 2019 annual financial report said its comprehensive plan identified the South Main Street area from the library to Ambriar Shopping Center as a local business zone.
Diners will be able to dial their heat preference up or down, with options spanning no spice, mild, medium, hot and Thai hot, per the same report. The menu centers on Thai dishes and pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup that has become a staple on menus well beyond Vietnamese kitchens.

Joining a Growing Regional Thai Food Scene
Thai & Pho Spice isn't the only Thai option turning up in search results for the Amherst area. A Yelp search snippet lists it alongside restaurants such as Nakhon Thai Cuisine, Just Get Thai Express, Thai 99 Kitchen, Napa Thai Cuisine, Thai Staunton Restaurant and Ubon Thai Victo, though that listing doesn't establish how the new Amherst spot compares to any of them.
For now, the key details are simple: a Friday opening in Amherst, and a spice dial that runs from none at all to Thai hot.
