The servers were out of this world so nice. Good food plus good service means this place is a solid 4.5 stars. Penang curry with chicken for 12.95. Came in with a group of 10 and curry came out in less than 10 minutes. Insane! Definitely worth. Would recommend for a quick bite!
Stumbled upon this place walking around the city. Not only was the service phenomenal and the recommendations outstanding but the food was incredible. I can mot rave enough about how amazing everything was. A must try in my option. I will 100% be back and bringing my friends. Thank you for the hospitality.
Best customer service I have received at a restaurant in Philly! Delicious food, kind staff, and a lovely atmosphere - my new favorite Thai restaurant!
Fabulous service and food. We enjoyed the Crab Rangoons, Fried Chicken, Shrimp Toast, and the Shrimp Rolls.
Big fan of Thai food and sometimes hard to find places that have vegetarian curry without fish sauce, but this place does it! Might be my favorite Thai place in Philly! They are also so great about customizing dishes and adding vegetables, etc. Also very good about accommodating allergies. Highly recommend the red curry, chive cakes, spring rolls, and Thai iced coffee!
The food here is AMAZING! I didn't like Thai food in the past due to bad experiences at other restaurants. However, I wanted to give this place a try. The first thing I got was the Green Curry with beef and shrimp and medium spiciness. Oh my goodness! Soooooooo good! The next thing I got was the Exotic Pork (wild boar) with shrimp and medium spiciness. Let me tell you! This place has made me love Thai food now!!! Everything tasted super fresh and the medium spiciness was perfect and not too much to overpower the dish. The wild boar in the dish was AMAZING as was the shrimp. There was also this herb in there that tasted like fresh pepper, oh my it was tasty! And the wonton soup..... Hey Erawan, if you are reading this, you need to make this bigger and offer it as a main dish! It was sooooooooooooo good! The broth was perfect, and all the veggies were very fresh. And the wontons were absolutely amazing! 5 stars to this place! And the lady that answers the phone has always been super nice!
Went there for a few different meals. Didn’t really get the pics because we were really enjoying ourselves. Small and cute walk up restaurant tucked away in the city. Best Thai tea I’ve ever had. I highly recommend to anyone especially the waitress/server who was very sweet and kind and remembered us. Even took photos for us.
Food was excellent! But service was kinda slow and it took a long time to get our food. I would definitely go back again to get the drunken noodles!
