Back again for another perfect Thai meal! Everything was FANTASTIC! Some of the dishes were spicy,…read morebut nothing as crazy hot as that yellow curry I had the first time. Not to mention, many of the cooling dishes did their jobs in mitigating the heat. The super-friendly and informative wait staff was careful to make sure that members of our party with food allergies were safe from shellfish. And Chef Nok stopped by our table to say hello!

Came to here to meet up with friends who are parents of a 4 month old. The manager noticed we were…read morebeing seated in a smaller booth which would have left the parents cramped with the carseat so she immediately had the staff relocate us. The bigger booth was so much more comfortable; it definitely enhanced our experience. The waiters were also wonderful with checking in on us throughout the meal but not trying to rush us out the door. We got 3 entrees + 1 side: - pla nung manao (branzino) - tumis pla (fish curry) - gai yang naa por (half chicken) - yum makhua yao (eggplant) My favorite was the tumis pla and I was sad we didn't have leftovers to take home. The eggplant (I'm not always the biggest fan) was delicious - great texture and complexity of flavor. The food is a bit pricey (portions are quite small) but it all tastes delicious. We shared this among 4 adults and I left satisfied.

Long story short: oh... my god. This restaurant is unforgettable. Hands down the best Thai food…read moreI've had in Philly (and we all know there are plenty of options here!) I got the pad Thai to keep it simple and I'm still salivating at the thought 6 weeks later. (I feel a DoorDash order coming on...) my friend got the pad see ew and she said it was "heavenly." The ambiance is intoxicating. Warm, dark, rich colors and tapestries. Very authentic. Not too loud, plenty of seating (no outdoor.) Very friendly staff!! The wait was a little bit absurd (about an hour to get the food) which is the ONLY reason I had to take off a star. Yes, the wait was that long. But honestly? It was well worth it. I don't always beg people to try places in reviews, but if you like Thai food, you have to try this place. And you can thank me later ;)

Food was delicious! We ordered the firecracker, chicken satay, pad see ew beef, khao soi with…read morechicken, and mango sticky rice. I always order khao soi when it's available and it was flavorful and so filling. Portion sizes were huge. The Thai iced coffee was one of the best I've ever had!! Would come back! There's several parking garages near by as well.

The ravioli was very unique, and I wish the pad Thai had a little more egg/tofu in it, but flavor was delish.

We went visited Xiandu Thai a year ago and the food was delicious minus one thing we didn't really…read morecare for. However overall it was some of the best Thai food we had in Philly and we used to live in the area years ago. We decided we had to come back and see if the food was still just as good and the results are in...IT WAS! First the customer service is still really good and the server was beyond friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is still super quant and perfect for a girls dinner or a date night! Now onto the food! We ordered the Sexy Shrimp appetizer, Pad Thai, Dan Dan Noodles! The Sexy Shrimp appetizer was good but we weren't really a fan of the dipping sauce that came with it. It was like a chipotle dipping sauce but I think the a traditional Thai Sweet Chili would have been better. But my, my, my the Pad Thai and Dan Dan Noodles were Phenomenal! Portion size was HUGE, flavor and spice was spot on and honestly, I wish I could pick up this restaurant and move it to DC where we are located! Still phenomenal and we will continue to return everytime we come back to visit Philly!

Phenomenal place! I love Xiandu Thai and they offer a good deal Happy Hour and their menu overall…read morehas some great options. Drinks are made well and reasonably priced. I love good Hendricks martini But I also do stray away from some of their original cocktails. The Chicken Pad Thai is my absolute favorite here. I always ask for spice and extra peanuts! Never disappointed. The Drunken Noodles are also a go-to favorite. Their starter options are sized appropriately so you'll have room for dinner. 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. Located right on Walnut Street you'll see beautiful views from their full bar (with two TVs) and they also have a beautiful patio with spacious seating. I would recommend Xiandu for a cute lunch, beautiful romantic dinner and a place to really come have some amazing Thai cuisine!

Wow!!! Amazing Thai food in a really warm and comfortable environment. We couldn't decide on what…read moreto eat, so we ordered a bit of everything. The chicken satay lived up to the online hype - so good! The Thai Appetizers Sampler was big and amazing. We took half of the multiple items home. The star of the show was the Panang curry - so smooth, creamy and flavorful. We added chicken which was very tender. Added a few sautés which were equally delicious. Super friendly service. Great experience start to finish.

The Laos Sampler is a must-have. On my first trip here some years ago I was with someone so was able to explore the menu more fully, but on my two Uber Eats deliveries and a more festive return to the restaurant on New Year's Eve I just got the sampler. The lemongrass-laden pork jerky was my favorite item. The sausage is great too. The Lao papaya salad is super-intense, a whole other vibe than Thai papaya salad.

The flavor was on point for the 6 shrimp. Ok size shrimp but nothing overwhelming. Pineapple rice was enjoyed by my bestie. A staple they get at Circles. I really liked the mango rice. This was Uber eats and delivered hot to SoPhilly. I've been to their cozy BYOB before and figured-- why not get the delivery?! Service was way longer than it said. Very slow and changed drivers 3-4 times because it was so slow. Maybe busy night for dine-in, either way definitely don't depend on timely delivery. Extra 30-40 minutes beyond initial estimate.

The place itself had decent parking out front, I was seated immediately & provided water while waiting for the rest of my party. It was pretty cozy inside. It always sounded odd when people spoke of how amazing their cheesesteak eggrolls are, yes they're a staple Philly food item but still a little odd for a Thai place. I get it now. The cheesesteak spring roll is superior to any cheesesteak roll I've ever had. The spring roll wrapper just makes it so much lighter & crispier & than the inside? Perfection, even when it's scorching your mouth. The chicken puffs were also delicious, especially in the sauce. Someone at our table may or may not have been drinking the green curry like it was soup & we couldn't blame them, it was that good. Highly recommend the pad Thai with shrimp. The thai iced tea was also a 10/10. This is one of those places where I left leaving a little full but oh so content. Can't wait to try more.

The fried bananas came with a container of honey with sesame seeds. This was good but the fried bananas were good on their own and did not need the extra sweetness. The white rice was dry and older.
