    Chicken Pad Thai - Dec 2019 - Dine In
    Julia S.

    What I can best describe this place is inconsistent. The first time I ordered from this place was for a to-go order years ago, a month after the opened which I believe was back in 2014 -- I never went back until December of 2019. Back in 2014 the food tasted so bad I refused to go back. I ordered pad thai, papaya salad and tom yum soup. I remember throwing out 80% of the papaya salad and did finish most the food. I ended up retrying the place back in December 2019 with a group of friend for dine in and it was the foods were actually good. This time we ordered pad thai, basil fried rice, masam curry and a vegetarian dish. Then, I again ordered for take out recently and again the food was not that great. Pad thai noodle were dry and basil fried rice -- the rice was a bit hard. The best dish was the green curry. All the dishes I ordered had a sweeter taste more than savory. The inconsistency due to dine in and take out. I'm not 100% sure, I would have to try dine in one more time to be sure but as of right now, I'd suggest dinning in (once option is available) instead of take out.

    Chicken Pad Thai Lunch Special

    I love AmeriThai. I come here all the time when I'm craving for Authentic Thai food. Best pad Thai around Philly and their green curry, oh my it's so delicious, creamy and a lot of veggies. Recently due to the Covid pandemic, their menu has changed. It's understandable. Their lunch special used to be $8, but now is $10 with a side of veggies spring rolls which are very good. When you see a grandma cooking in the kitchen that mean this place has the best home-cooked meals to satisfy your craving.

    Man, this place is so underrated! My boyfriend and I walked in on a weekday night for a dine-in dinner to see it completely empty, though the phones kept ringing and throughout our meal there were people coming in and out for takeout orders. It's pretty gaudy decoration-wise, but it's nothing I wouldn't already expect from a Thai place in the heart of South Philly. The waitress/host was very nice, keeping our water filled most of the time. We ordered the Thai Treasure, which mostly had fried stuff but did give us a good idea on what to get if we ever came back. We shared the Evil Jungle Princess, a fresh dish with chicken, shrimp, and veggies that thankfully offset the heaviness of the apps, also coming with rice. We polished everything off with the Fried Bananas, which were stuffed inside spring roll wrappers. Not too sweet, but definitely made for a sweet tooth. It's definitely on my bucket list to return to in 2018!

    Believe the good reviews. This is a fantastic little Thai place nestled in South Philly in a reasonably good location. I could use lots of superlatives to describe the range of flavors that were presented but the bottom line is: excellent food at reasonable prices with quick service and fun staff -including a good sense of humor. I get the sense this is a family operation but I will tell you there is nothing amateur about what they deliver. This is my new go to Asian food stop in South Philly. By the way if you go ask for the pumpkin soup. It's a freaking religious experience. Same verse, second stanza. Frickin outstanding. And NOBODY eats in at this BYOB. Idiots. In phila? Really? No worries. More room for me anytime

    This is my go-to Thai restaurant for Pad Thai! But it could be a little inconsistent with the spiciness level. I always get 3 out of 5, sometimes it can be a little too spicy or not spicy at all. I guess that's the only downside because everything else is perfect! I also love their Thai curry puff! They're so good! I hope they can be more consistent with their spiciness. But overall they're one of the best in the city.

    I drunk some before I took the picture. Then I drink more because it was good

The duck was small and a bit dry and not very flavorful. The curry was runny and thin so it slid off of the veggies and duck. The pad Thai was honestly quite small and tasted like any pad thai you could order at any random restaurant and it was also just vaguely dry. My biggest grievances with this place was the ambiance. I feel like they wanted to fit as many tables as they physically could in that building and boy did they. The tables are so close together and so tiny. We had and I'm not exaggerating under 3 inches between us and the table next to us and we were on the wall with booths on one half. The poor women go got seated next to us had to move her table on top of the table on her other side and squeeze between ours and hers just to get into the booth. And even then it was tight so her butt ended up on our table and I felt bad because she looked so embarrassed and apologized but there was nothing she could do. The silverware is ridiculously long for the small table they give you. We did not have room to comfortably fit 2 entrees on the table with our drinks and our forks and our silverware and our small plates. We also had a reservation, and our table wasn't ready and there was no waiting area. They didn't have an estimate of when it would be ready so they sent us out. We walked around for 15-20 minutes before they were able to seat us. They also had music playing not quietly and because of the proximity of all of the tables everyone was kind of talking loud to be able to hear each other. It felt more like a bar than a sit down restaurant. There are so many Thai places just within a block of grandmas I could not understand why someone would choose to wait there rather than go to Chatayee or Dara. I think this place is catered to look cool on Instagram and if that's your goal then you'll be quite happy.

The portions were on the smaller side, especially considering the price, so it didn't feel like the best value for the cost. That said, the quality of the food and the ambiance made it an enjoyable experience. Overall, I'd recommend Kalaya if you're looking for creative, authentic Thai cuisine and a great atmosphere--just be prepared for smaller portions and higher prices. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

Bonnie & Peter are remarkable and they have an amazing staff. Xiandu is such a kind and friendly atmosphere with a beautiful ambiance both indoor and outdoor.

I would recommend Xiandu for a cute lunch, beautiful romantic dinner and a place to really come have some amazing Thai cuisine!

From the food to the service, every part of the experience felt thoughtful, intentional, and genuinely memorable. It's the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be so special. The space itself is cozy, intimate, and full of character. The unique design creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and enjoy every course rather than rush through the meal. The service deserves every bit of a 10/10. All of the servers were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the menu. Since several dishes and ingredients were unfamiliar to us, they took the time to explain each one, answer our questions, and offer recommendations without making us feel rushed. That guidance gave us the confidence to step outside of our comfort zone, and every recommendation paid off. We ordered the Mawn Noodle Soup, Grilled Saht Koh, Mahope Samut, Steak and Prohok, Thai Crab Fried Rice, and ended the evening with the Funnel Cake. Every dish was beautifully plated and packed with bold, balanced flavors. The Steak and Prohok was refreshing and full of flavor in every bite. The Grilled Saht Koh had a perfect char and was cooked beautifully. The Mahope Samut was exceptional, with tender, perfectly seared scallops. Both this and the Saht Koh were perfect starters. The Mawn Noodle Soup was incredibly comforting with layers of flavor and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The Thai Crab Fried Rice was another standout--light, fragrant, and loaded with fresh crab, making it much more than just a side dish. And somehow, after such an incredible meal, the Funnel Cake still managed to steal the show. It was the perfect ending: crisp, indulgent, and not overly sweet. It's easy to see why MAWN has earned such a loyal following. Exceptional hospitality, creative dishes that are executed with precision, and an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and special make this one of the best dining experiences I've had in Philadelphia.
