Repeat after me. Do not keep your local gems to yourself. Yes, during typical busy dining days/times, the space fills up quickly but there is a reason why locals love this place! There is depth in their flavors, freshness, consistency, and spice. But the hospitality takes your experience over the top. Welcoming and satisfying are what come to mind when reflecting on each of my dining experiences. An inviting atmosphere, genuine care, and smiles freely given, and truly delicious dishes keep Gummlai Thai as one of my top go to spots when I need a trusty meal that feeds my soul. read more

First time visit to Gummlai. I loved the vibe and decor of the interior. Service was great. There is a small parking lot but I had no trouble finding a spot on a Friday night. There are some larger tables for groups of 6 or more but I'd call to reserve one if you are coming with a big party. I thought that the pricing was very reasonable. I tried the pad eggplant with shrimp, chicken satay and winter shrimp. The pad eggplant had one pepper signifying it was mild, and it was label appropriately. The shrimp were fresh and the flavor was good. The chicken satay could have been grilled a little more but the peanut sauce was strong in the chicken and the dipping sauce. I liked the winter shrimp. I'll never understand how they get the shrimp to long length to be fried. read more

Great Thai food! I am very particular when it comes to Thai food and this place did not disappoint. I definitely recommend giving Gummlai Thai a try. read more

We order take out so I can't speak on the dining experience. We order a couple of dishes -- drunken noodles, pad thai, pad see ew, and pineapple fried rice. They told us about 35-45 mins. When we went to pick up the food, the place was crowded but it looked like a cozy place. When we open the containers, the food looked like it has been sitting there for a while. It was hard and stuck to each other. I never thought you can go wrong with drunken noodles and pad thai, but I was wrong. The drunken noodles and pad see ew lacked flavor. The pad thai was overly sour even without having to use the lime they gave us. At this point, I didn't want to try pineapple fried rice anymore. I was told it didn't have much pineapples in it nor flavor. The dining experience could be better than the takeout experience since the food will be more fresh. Sadly this takeout experience does not make me want to come back to try it. read more

I came here with a group of 12 co-workers for lunch on a Monday. It wasn't very busy at all, as most Mondays are, so the ambience was quiet and relaxing even for a group of us. I was informed the thing to order for the best deal was the lunch special, which comes with a choice of soup plus appetizer with your entrée for $13.99/$14.99. I ended up ordering the coconut soup, chicken spring roll, and the beef thai basil (came with some rice). The food was pretty good and fresh and overall it was a good deal. It didn't take too long either to get the food out either. For what you get for around $15.00, the portions were good and it was a good lunch option. The store also gives an 8% discount if you pay in cash and if the order was at least $55. This was a good Thai food spot and I'd come again. read more

Delicious food and amazing service! We especially love the pad see ew and mango sticky rice:)

First off this place is BYOB although I don't see it mentioned anywhere. Everything here was fantastic, from the servers to the atmosphere. My wife started with the coconut soup, and I choose the spring rolls, and we both throughly enjoyed our appetizers. My main course was the Drunken Noodles and my wife picked the Red Curry chicken. Again, both our meals were plated nicely and tasted amazing. There were so many options on the menu that I wanted to try, so we will surely be coming back for more. All said and done the price wasn't too bad either. Highly recommended! read more

This place made a mostly good first impression. For appetizers, we got the Chicken Satay which was really good. The chicken was super tender and the sauce was perfectly sweet. Ordered the Thai Iced Tea for drinks which was great. It was sweet but not overly sweet like that drink tends to be. For entrees, we got the Massaman Curry with Chicken, Beef Pad Thai, and Beef Pad See Ew. All were really good. I think the Massaman Curry was definitely the best dish out of the three we got. All of them were portioned pretty well and were tasty. Just some minor service hiccups though. We actually ordered the Shrimp Pad See Ew, we received the Beef one instead. The person who ordered it ate it halfway before bringing that fact up so we decided to just leave it as is. They did charge us for the Shrimp one in the bill but they did change it to the Beef one when we brought it to our server's attention. We needed more rice to go with the Massaman Curry as it ran out pretty quickly, they might want to consider putting more rice with their curry dishes. We also had a little trouble getting the server's attention to get more rice; even though there was only one other table seated at the time. Minor hiccups aside, it was a good place to eat and I would come back. read more

The service and the ambiance were excellent. The pad Thai was the least spicy I've ever had at a Thai restaurant ever. They didn't ask me, so be sure you ask if you want even the smallest bit of heat. read more

Excellent service. I would say the best pad Thai I've had in quite sometime. And the spring rolls are lovely. Crunchy, not even a little greasy. Definitely worth driving out of your neighborhood t read more

I wanted to order out for the Valentine's Day. I thought Thai food will hit the spot. Order three dishes. Drunken noodles, this dish and some chicken on sticks. None of them were good. Only taste thing was the small round dumplings. Don't go here. Also, this is the same restaurant that used to be a cockroach infested Pho place. read more

Great food. We have been dining and ordering takeout from here for a few years. Finally decided to bring a large party. They completely forgot my nephew's entree - twice - so he was eating dinner while everyone else was having dessert or getting ready to leave. Ok, waiters make mistakes like everyone else. But they didn't do anything to remedy the issue and rather decided to cop an attitude. Regulars no more. read more

Went there last night for dinner. We had DRUNKEN NOODLES which was very good and CHU CHEE DUCK which my wife and friend all thought it IS THE BEST. The service was very attentive. The ambiance is nice Thai "neighborhood" read more

Always the best will be back again and again. Massuman curry chuchee duck and Tom kah soup are the go to's! Dumplings, Tom yum soup and pad thai are also favorites! read more

This place is so cute. It's a small, cozy place, maybe 10-12 tables. Parking in the back. Pretty good authentic Thai food. I had the som tum (papaya salad) which was pretty good, not as spicy as what I'm used to. The Thai dumplings were delicious. Tom yum and coconut tom yum soup was great. Strongly recommend. Update- fish cakes are good too read more

We were looking for a thai place nearby and came across this gem. We had the curry puffs and veggie rolls for appetizers. The curry puffs were so perfectly seasoned, light and crispy. Then we had pad thai with chicken and fried rice. Both dishes were delicious. Also, loved that we could pick the level of spiciness we wanted in our dish. Our server was very attentive and nice. Great place to go for thai food if you are ever in the area. Next time we come back to visit family we will make sure to come back! read more

Our 2nd time back, super being recognized by Angie following making a good impression on our first dinning visit months back. Overall had a lovely experience. We clearly focused on trying different dishes this trip. We were shown our table upon arriving, menus and an ice bucket and water were brought right over. We discussed a few menu items ensuring they could adjust the spice levels. Spicy foods no longer agree with us, unfortunately :( but we don't want to miss out on flavor. We started with the Thai Dumplings, asked for steams vs fried crispy, each dumpling is filled with ground pork, bamboo, and black mushrooms. A nice mix, good flavor, however, we felt that mix was too tightly packed and felt heavy. We love light, delicate Thai food selections. Next, we had the crispy puff which was quite nice, light and fluffy. For our entree's my wife had the Mussaman with chicken, nice think pieces of white meat chicken with veggies in a very light, tasty broth like curry sauce. I had the Talay Tong- a mix of seafood (muscles, squid, shrimp, in a nice light flavorful sauce. The presentation was a work of plating presentation art. Fab night, great tasty food, all fresh colorful ingredients. Angie was awesome. See our photos BYOB Street parking Take credit cards read more

I moved away several Yeats ago, but was so excited to find their new location. This is their absolutely yummy Pad See Ew, but I also recommend their delicious Thai Dumplings. Those are the one thing I missed the most when I moved. Great atmosphere, family friendly. read more

We have never eaten at this little place in a small strip mall, but what a pleasant surprise. On a cold and rainy December night we had a delightful dinner at a reasonable cost with good service. Week night specials include soup, appetizer and entree, the most expensive selection cost $20.99, not bad by today's standards. (I see they also have a special deal at lunchtime.) This might not be enough food if you have a really hearty appetite, but it was plenty for me. And my partner had enough room for the Mango Sticky Rice desert. Very good. read more

My favorite local Thai restaurant. Everything is fresh and flavorful and they respect spice levels as requested.

Pretty good food. The salmon & rice is fresh & tasty. The spring rolls are ok. A few times tasted a little freezer burned. Love the Thai tea as well. read more

Love this place. It is by far the best Thai place in the area. Been going here for many years. Always friendly service, and amazing, authentic Thai food. They used to be further south on Easton Road, but now are in Willow Grove behind the Burger King. Even though the new location is a major "upgrade", for some reason I miss their older location...it was just a super cozy little place. The new location, however, is really nice and nothing else has really changed. Service is still great and food is spectacular. read more

The food is absolutely delicious! I love that they have vegetarian options. I used to get take out when they were in Roslyn. I need to check out their new location! You can tell the food is made with freshly prepared ingredients! read more

I've been here a few times. Very good Panang sauce. Be careful with the heat level, bc they use true Thai scale. I can eat spicy, and medium is plenty of heat! Thai basil is another one of our favorites, followed by their noodle dishes. Lunch is a great deal! Grab some coworkers and ck them out. Don't forget they just moved closer to the Willow Grove mall. read more

Been there a few times. Their PadThai is to die for!! Servers are very kind and efficient. I will definitely return as soon as possible! For their Pad Thai - Mmmmm! read more

This 12 table Thai restaurant on Easton Road, Abington, PA, is a lovely well appointed dining room, cozy enough to feel slightly enchanted, and authentic enough to leave you satisfied that you just got your money's worth of delicious northern Thai cuisine. I was there for Saturday lunch. Finding their parking lot behind the building after cruising by the storefront, I walked in to a warm smile from the owner/server, who directed me to a deuce along the wall, a discreet distance from the two occupied tables. She went to the rear cashier area and returned moments later with a glass of water and the two menus available for dinner and lunch specials. She quietly explained the two lists and left me again to give me time to consider my choices. I went with the afternoon combo - a small cup of coconut lemongrass soup (Tom Ka) veggied up with fresh mushroom on top, a bisected spring roll with dark orange dipping sauce, and a fairly large plate of Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles). Liking spicy food, I opted for the "Thai Spicy" end of the heat spectrum. It did not disappoint. It added burn sufficient to make my tongue sweat and nose run, stopping just short of numbing my gums. Certainly no compromise for this western pallette. Loved every morsel of the thick noodles, chicken, green & red pepper, onion and green beans. By the time I finished I was alone but for the pleasant owner. We talked for a few minutes about her business and our experience in Thailand. It was a genuine and interesting exchange, and an unexpectedly provocative dessert. read more

This is a pretty decent Thai food place. It's probably the best one around Willow Grove area.

This restaurant has a good selection, the entrees were delicious and great service. I am sure I will return there.

I have been to Thailand for 5 times. I worked at a Thai restaurant in Tokyo. I have tried many Thai restaurants in New York and Philadelphia. This Thai restaurant is amazing!!! Thai ice tea is just right sweet. read more

Great menu. Love the chicken pad Thai. Friendly. Parking is a bit limited and hard to get out during rush hour.

The most tasty Thai food, the sweetest wait staff, and unbelievable prices. What's not to love?

I tried lunch with my daughter. My to go for dish was pad Thai and papaya salad. Small cozy place with good service

What a lovely little restaurant. The service very good. The food was delicious. This was my first experience with Thai food. I will be back! read more

Just ok. Ordered the basil chicken stir fry which was just average and the steamed dumplings appeared to be very greasy (which defeats the purpose of getting the steamed option). read more

I came here around 2:00pm. The door sign said "Closed" but the hours stated that there was still an hour left. I still went in anyways just to make sure and the waitress proceeded to show me to my seats. I got the lunch special which included tum yum soup, kanoom jeeb and chicken Pad Thai. I also got the Thai tea which I was very sweet and a refreshing drink. The lunch special is definitely worth the price - the portion was definitely smaller than the dinner but it's reasonable since the price is cheaper. The waitress was very nice; she quickly took my order and and was receptive to my friend's request for vegetarian food. As well, when there was trouble with the card during payment, the waitress made sure I understood what she was doing as well as listened and answered any questions I had. The ambiance was great, the food was amazing and the staff was nice. What else can you ask for? Highly recommend! read more
