    Rendang
    Simon W.

    The hunt for the best Beef Rendang in Philly led me to Golden Triangle. This Beef Rendang was seasoned well, the curry was rich but the meat was a tough chew and the portion was underwhelming. Not exactly what I'd expect from a contender for the best Beef Rendang in Philly. The Singapore Fried Mee Hoon with Shrimp was ok. The dish mostly consisted of noodles with some veggies and a small shrimp. It was good with a sweetness that was addictive.

    Tea Leaves Salad

    We enjoyed everything here -tea leaf salad- so flavorful and so many textures -beef rendang- so good and beef was tender -Penang Char Kway Teow- good -roti canai - have had better but was still good Service was good too

    Ordered take-out from Golden Triangle as it was nearby for easy pick-up, and we have been wanting to try it for a while now. We got the Chicken Satay, the Malaysian Pork Chop and the Thai Green Curry with Shrimp. Everything was hot and delicious. Both entrees came with steamed rice as well. Really enjoyed our take-out and would for sure order from them again!

    Peanut Pancake
    Komal R.

    We only came for desserts last night but looks like we need to come back to try their apps and mains too! The peanut pancake was part savory and part sweet - imagine peanut butter in Roti Canai. Very tasty! The Farluda was pretty much like Indian Falooda - a milk based drink with vermicelli, tapioca seeds, jelly, rose syrup and topped with ice cream. Looks like a family based small business and the owners are very sweet.

    Thai Spring Roll

    First time trying delivery from this restaurant. It was amazing!!! Delicious tasty food. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all very good. My husband "inhaled" his spring rolls and I found their samosas to be delicate and delightful as all the other dishes were too :)

    We were at FDR park and my dining partner was hungry for Thai. This popped up with really reviews on Yelp! so off we went to try it out. Street parking was available a block away. For a Saturday at 12:30pm we felt lucky, but aren't sure if that's normal. The restaurant was empty so we sat near the window. It felt clean and friendly, with plants some decoration. There was a TV near the register showing the news. We ordered red curry, pad Thai, and a Myanmar coffee. We asked if we could get the tofu raw (not deep fried) and was told that even though they do make their own tofu, they make it fried, as it's egg tofu. Ok, we'll give it a go. I looked up to see what a Myanmar coffee was before ordering and what I read was they double-roast their beans, which are 80% of the mix. The rest is wheat, butter or margarine, and salt. I thought I'd give it a try for the experience. The food was good but not really anything amazing. The coffee was super sweet and had some kind of milk in it. It tasted like strange Vietnamese coffee. We asked if we could get it without the milk and sweetener and was told they could not do it, which makes me think it was a powdered drink with water. It's kind of what it tasted like. We were rather underwhelmed with the entire experience. It was good but nothing stood out, and we considered the coffee a fail.

    We were craving Thai and decided to go here. They take reservations and it's a BYOB. We got the roti canai and steamed dumplings as appetizers. Both were delicious. Orders for main meals included pineapple fried rice with shrimp, green curry with chicken, pad Thai with beef and broccoli and chicken. Everything was delicious. We asked for the curry spicy and it was borderline too spicy! The pineapple fried rice needed more pineapple. Pad Thai was yummy. Super affordable and flavorful. Staff are super friendly. I highly recommend.

    Nasi Lemak
    Faith S.

    Golden Triangle is the ultimate source of delicious, authentic, lovingly prepared specialties! Beef Rendang was amazing and so tender! Nasi Lemak with chicjen so tender! Ayam Pandan wings were yummy! Peanut pancakes should be illegal... they are so good!!!

    Great food recommended by my Burmese friend! she swears the food here is just like that of his childhood. I personally love the roti canai and the tea leaves salad. Ambience is comfy and cozy, and prices are reasonable if not more affordable than other places in the city. Also great for groups if you call ahead of time. Definitely a gem in Philly!

I come here for happy hour every now and then because the prices are really great, and both the food and drinks are delicious. We started with the specialty cocktail and the Thai Punch, and both were really good. They had fruity undertones, and the alcohol wasn't overpowering at all -- I could easily have a few of these. For food, we got a few orders of the kung pao chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy with a really flavorful glaze. The portion size was also very generous, especially for the happy hour price. These are a great example of Asian-style fried chicken wings done right. I definitely want to come back and try their full dinner menu since I've only been here for happy hour so far. Luckily, it's not too far from where I live in the city, so I'll definitely be back!

This time our server explained the tasting course, but we decided to order a la carte. A refreshing Ming Mule came out first and it was just what I needed after being inside of a stadium on a 100 degree day. We also ordered an order of the pork bao which was so tasty. You can never go wrong with a pork belly appetizer and each order comes with two. The shrimp pad Thai had all the flavors you expect from a classic pad Thai but with their own twist. The Szechuan chicken was crispy and had sweet notes. Definitely two great picks. Opted out from dessert because we were so stuffed but they have a great ice cream cone option if you are in the mood.

Left 25 minutes later than planned. [Fast forward: the guy next to us was wearing a full suit.] We arrived at 5:30 and were told the wait for a walk-in was 20 minutes, so we went to Graffiti Bar next door. P wanted a marg, which was not on the cocktail menu, so the bartender asked what kind of tequila. P said Patrón. We started our happy hour evening with $45 cocktails. The wait was actually only 10 minutes, but they give you a 10-minute grace period once they text you, so we had to chug nevertheless. There is a pipe that says "warm" as you walk in. Touch at your own risk. Now at Double Knot. We ordered the tuna roll and salmon rolls. Good, but not that good. J wanted the yaki soba and liked it. P liked the pork potstickers. J ordered a Sapporo and an argument ensued about how to pronounce "a" in Japanese and/or other Asian languages. A professional woman once scolded J for mispronouncing Wang. We then played odds to determine whether J would turn his Sapporo into a sake bomb using P's sake. Both guessed 5. The sake did in fact "bomb," erupting all over the table and causing a scene. The wait staff did not notice because the ambiance, while "lit," is actually pretty dark. Coast clear. For revenge, we played odds again. P lost and was forced to put soy sauce in her sake and chug it. She took it like a champ. The waitress complimented P's top as we left. Margs at the pourover bar next door: $45. Rolls at Double Knot happy hour: $8. A compliment on a $3.69 top after arriving 36 minutes later than planned: priceless. 7/10.

We made a reservation for 5:30 tonight and were seated toward the back near the bar. Service: 5 stars. Our server, Ryan F., was excellent. He was very personable, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. He had the entire menu memorized and was able to explain the ingredients and dishes in detail. His level of service definitely added to the experience. Drinks: We started with the Honor cocktail, which was citrusy, refreshing, and a nice way to start the evening. Later, I ordered the lychee martini, one of my favorites, and it was just as good as I remembered. Food: For appetizers, we shared the tuna tartare spring rolls, yellowtail sashimi, and shrimp dumplings. The tuna tartare spring rolls and yellowtail were both very good and flavorful. The shrimp dumplings, however, were just okay and didn't really stand out. We've had better elsewhere. For our mains, I ordered the miso cod and crab fried rice, and both were absolutely delicious. The miso cod was flavorful and satisfying, and the crab fried rice was one of the highlights of the meal. Both brought back the flavors I remembered from our past visits. Hubby ordered the wok cashew chicken, which he found just okay and not particularly memorable. Overall: A very good dining experience, but not everything was a home run. The service was outstanding, and the miso cod, crab fried rice, and lychee martini were the highlights for me. A couple of the dishes were less impressive, especially considering the prices. Still, it was great to revisit Buddakan in Philly. There are several other dishes I'd like to try, so I'm looking forward to another dinner here.
