    Vegetable Egg Roll
    Johnny R.

    Haven't had Thai food in a while, so we decided to go to a new place other than our usual. The interior is rustic with statues and decorations, much like I saw when I visited Thailand. Service was quick, and the food came out quickly. We got the lunch special, which includes one entree, an appetizer, and a soup of the day. All this for just $11.95 is a great deal, even if it is from a shortened menu. The soup was actually a highlight with its flavor being similar to a chicken noodle, but slightly different and an excellent contrast in texture with the crispy in the soup. The pot sticker was nicely fried but didn't have too much flavor on the inside. The flavor of this dish was mostly just from the soy based sauce it came with. The egg roll was actually worse, though. I get that it is all vegetables on the inside, but I expected some sort of flavor. Massaman curry was the main entree, and it was quite good as well. I was a little let down by the small amount of curry included with the dish. I feel like more curry would have made the flavors pop more. Overall, it was a good dish with fresh vegetables and your choice of meat, but the curry itself was a bit too diluted for my personal preference. I prefer my curry to have more of a punch. With that all said, this is a great option for a lunch for the price alone. I'll try the dinner options next time for a chance to taste the differences, if there are any. Give it a try!

    I called the restaurant as the owner offered to rectify the issue. Owners were not on-site. Separately, I do not feel comfortable receiving a meal 'on the house'. Serving burnt steamed rice is not a mistake but a statement. No, thanks.

    I used to live near the area for 10+yrs. I would always order take out, never dined in. Now we live farther away from this place but we missed the food and decided to down it. WOW. What an amazing experience. Went in on a Sunday night with my two kiddos and husband. This place screams with cleanliness. Bathrooms, clean, atmosphere clean, dinnerware clean. Cups and utensils all clean! Usually we have to request new ones because they are filthy. But not here! I even drank for the glass cup which I never do. The food was beyond amazing! My husband got a beef stew and finished the whole thing! My kiddos ate all of their chicken skewers. We couldn't stop thinking of our amazing experience. 10/10

    Came as a walk-in, very nice staff. The interior is very elegant and surprisingly cozy. They had very beautiful masks and statues on display at the counter/bar The food was good.

    Dined here on a Wednesday evening and was immediately seated. The ambiance is great and service was superb. The waiter made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered: 1. Crab Fried rice (the best dish we had here) 2. The clay pot (it was ooook) 3. Chicken pad Thai (good but the noodles were over cooked and was too soft and soggy) 4. Tom Kha (very mild and delicious Overall, I would recommend the fried rice but rest was alright. The service was good!!

    It was my first time trying Bodhi Thai and it was delicious. I liked the flavors and crisp of the nuts. The service was great. The place is well decorated. Totally recommend this.

    The food is always awesome here. When I am near berwyn this is my first choice of food when it comes to Thai. A long time friend recommended this place years ago and it seems like every time I drop by to eat, the art in the place improves. Great service, awesome food and good vibes.

    The food is Thai but not the best or near the best Thai I've had. It's ok in a pinch, but nothing to gush over or to remember.

    Best Thai in the area. Basil noodles are an absolute family favorite and you can't go wrong with the pad Thai and potstickers.

    My boyfriend and I were in the area looking for somewhere to eat, and I spotted this place online…read moreand it really piqued our interest. We were previously considering Italian food but so glad we chose this place for dinner because it was soooo yummy and so cute. I absolutely would be back to try the rest of their menu (especially their wide range of Kanom Thai or Thai desserts). They also serve Japanese food upstairs and that did look yummy although we stuck to the Thai menu. The staff was great. Everything was good - we got cherry blossom/sakura flavored sake, roti mataba as an appetizer, and for entrees, the habrae empire and Khao Kang Karee Chicken. Everything we got was good and worth trying, but I definitely loved the roti mataba and would order that again. Staff was also great. Cute for a date and also delicious.

    The vibes and service were great! This place had a lot of potential to be good for us but some of…read morethe dishes fell a little low. This restaurant is a combination of Thai and a Japanese izakaya. We ordered the chicken skin, pad Thai, basil chicken stir fry, tom yum, and mango sticky rice. The chicken skin and the basil chicken came out first and they were amazing! The sweet dipping sauce with the chicken skin really pulls it together. We got level 2 spicy (out of 5) for the basil chicken and it did not have a single kick of spice but it was still very yummy and flavorful. As for the other entrees, we were very disappointed. The pad Thai tasted like BBQ sauce rather than pad Thai. The seasoning was very off putting. The tom yum was good but more on the sweeter side with my friends and I were not fond of. For dessert we got mango sticky rice. The sticky rice was warm and soft, and the mangoes were sweet and tart! Great combination of both especially with the coconut.
