I pass by this restaurant often and it's usually empty or not crowded. It's a small restaurant that mostly gets online orders. Stopped by for a quick dinner and I got the Lychee Drink and Drunken Noodles With Chicken. The drink wasn't too sweet and the noodles was amazing! It was chewy, spicy, and flavorful. Service was adequate- felt a bit rushed, maybe because I went in an hour before closing? I was the only one dining in. read more

The food was great, I got a meal from the special menu. The Thai tea is really good and only $1 when you dine in! The service was quick and the server was nice. The ambiance is casual. read more

Chicken lemongrass soup (didn't realize it would be spicy but delicious)! Also got basil takeout (not pictured). Much better than neighboring Pattaya in my opinion. Solid service; I appreciated that I wasn't rushed out (since I was mid-book chapter). read more

I ordered delivery for Thai Singa House, whereI had a positive first experience with an order for delivery. The first time, I had ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Pad See Ew with Chicken. Both entrees were good and 4-star quality. Since I had a positive first experience, I couldn't understand reviews on Yelp and other sites with ratings below a 4-star when I ordered the first time. My second experience, was enlightening. The order was literally inedible. I ordered a double portion of chicken pad thai. They elected to give me fried tofu and chicken. That's incorrect, as well as problematic when you're gluten intolerant and place in the notes "gluten-free". The second dish was beef brisket and chicken. I've been eating brisket, probably since it could be digested in my baby food. I have had it for decades in places across North America and Europe. It was the worst tasting brisket I've ever had- without question. The texture was bad as well, possibly because it wasn't sliced properly- against the grain? Regardless, I was irritated, and extremely disappointed. The service, provided by Grubhub was great. Though the portion size was good, it didn't matter, because both entrees ended up in the garbage disposal. Now, I understand the average rating, and its justification. I'm being empathetic and mindful of my first experience for giving it 2 stars to average out the 4 stars from my first experience. Unfortunately, this will be my last. read more

Thai Singha House - Chicken Satay - Thai Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Long story short: Save yourself the headache and go to Pattaya or GrubHub. I have reached my limits with Thai Singh Ha House. I would say one in four times I come here I walk out content. They mess up way way way too much and I have had it. Full disclosure, I set the bar much lower for mom and pop shops, as I do not expect them to have the same resources as a large corporation like Panda Express. But patience is like air in a sealed room... no matter how much I start off with, I will eventually run out (stolen from movie). I am also first generation and my parents owned Chinese restaurants, so I like to think that I am speaking from little ignorance as possible when it comes to complaining about mom/pop restaurant. The last time I was at Thai Singh Ha was early June, and it will absolutely be my last time. I am never going back and this time, I took it a step further and told my friends to not go there either. I order four chicken wonton soups ($4.25) and a mango sticky rice ($6.95) as take-out on the phone. It is the same woman who I have complained about that has taken orders in the past. But this time, I didn't sweat as much because I thought my order was pretty bloody straight forward, but divine intervention happened and she managed to mess up. AGAIN. I was walking while I called in the order and she told me final cost, which I thought I heard $49 something, so I asked her to repeat since traffic and construction was so loud and I have crappyhearing to begin with. Instead of repeating the cost, she babbles something I couldn't hear, so I thought I'd just repeat my order, "Four chicken wonton soup and one mango sticky rice." And she "confirms." I arrive to the place and against my better judgement given this place's awful track record, I just hand her my credit card and when I was about to sign, the order was indeed $49 something. Silver lining, my hearing isn't as bad as it thought because my hearing is actually pretty bad. I asked her about it (since it should be about $25) and she starts accusing me of ordering wonton noodle soup. No where did I use the word "noodle" when I was ordering and repeating my order to her. Even when I walked in to pick up I said wonton soups and mango sticky rice. This woman just hears what she wants to hear and runs with it, and she keeps doing it and it is so enraging dealing with her ordering from this place. She clearly starts talking smack in another language since all I hear in front of my face is, "************ noodle soup ****************** noodle soup *********** yes ************** noodle soup." Since they cannot refund me and re-run the transaction with my actual order, they decided to give me $20 cash back and had me keep the four noodle soups they made since it would just be thrown out. I ended up spending an extra $5 compared to my original order, but that's whatever. Technically, you should be charging people what they actually ordered, not a cent more because you messed up. I couldn't even eat those noodles because I was on a hardcore diet (avoiding carbs as much as possible, mango sticky was just a cheat day) since I had a wedding dress I desperately needed to fit in to. And I wasn't feeling well on top of that so I just needed something light and relatively bland. read more

Currently on a search for the best calamari in Philly and I was walking by and decided to try out Thai Singha House. The calamari had a wonderful breading that didn't leave me feeling heavy. It also came with broccoli and carrot tempura, I always appreciate when a place decided to add other stuff than just a plate of calamari. The sauce it came with was also very good. One of the better calamari dipping sauces I've had! Calamari Rating - 4 I also had a lychee drink that was really good! It's a small little place with nice decorations and fast service! read more

The food here is good for the cheap price! The portions aren't big, but was enough to satisfy. I came here with a large party, the service was attentive and the chef came out at the end and was very nice. The place is definitely good for BYO since it's pretty cozy. I ordered the drunken noodle (spicy) with beef (3.7/5); it was solid but nothing too special. The texture of the noodles was very good and the beef was very tender. I will say that the dish was decently spicy so if you don't like spice, opt for the pad see ew instead! I love drunken noodles so it hit the spot for sure. I also got the Thai iced tea which was so refreshing and came in a cute jar (4.5/5) -- would recommend. Overall good food for the price, good service. I would definitely come back again. read more

We arrived around the kitchen seemed to be closing and were told pretty swiftly to hurry up and order before the kitchen closed lol. We did look for an hours sign around the entrance and didn't see anything though. A cute and cozy physical space. A great Thai spot if you're looking for convenience over quality. Crispy chicken wontons were tasty! read more

UPDATE: I'm updating to add more information on dishes I've tried. I've regularly ordered catering from Thai Singha for many years & their delivery is consistently pleasant and professional. Thai Singha is also vegan-friendly. Even if a veg version of a curry isn't on the menu, you can ask them to do a dish with tofu or veggies instead of meat -- every time I've asked, they've readily accommodated. By far, the best dishes I've had for delivery/catering were the tofu & vegetable curries. The seafood/meats aren't as good & are often overcooked. This is no problem, since even omnivores have loved the vegetarian dishes I've ordered here. If you're organizing an event & need catering, I recommend Thai Singha's vegetarian dishes. Here's a rundown of some dishes I've tried [I use ^ to indicate a half-star and * for a full star. So, ***^ means 3.5 stars]: APPETIZERS ****^ Papaya salad appetizer is great. It's tangy with lime dressing & has sweet & sour flavours, with deliciously fresh green papaya **** Chive Dumplings are fried up nicely & tasty with a chive filling *** Triple mushroom salad was okay *** Chicken satay was okay. Chicken was cooked fine *** Soups: I've tried coconut & other soups in the restaurant; they've all been pleasant MAINS: VEGETARIAN (The vegetarian curries are the best!) ****^ Vegetable Green curry is great when the broccoli soaks up the green coconut curry, all tender and tasty ****^ Vegetable Panang curry has a nice flavour, spicy and rich with peanut and coconut ****^ Drunken Noodles with tofu and vegetables are delightful in taste and texture. The chewy noodles absorb lots of spicy flavour **** Tofu swimming rama includes fried tofu cubes with broccoli and a peanut sauce. Nice dish that's not spicy but also flavourful from the peanut sauce **** Vegetable red curry is spicy and flavourful, has bamboo shoots and other vegetables *** Stir-fried mixed vegetables is fine. Nothing special, but it's a solid mild dish of vegetables **^ Veg pad thai is okay. MAINS: NON-VEGETARIAN **** or **^ Fire Game Hen is the best meat dish I've had at the restaurant. The meat is cooked fairly tender and it's served with a very sweet sauce. It's best ordered In the restaurant (not takeout/delivery) as it's set on fire & makes quite a show. Served warm & fresh in the restaurant, it's 4 stars. When delivered, it's not as succulent, so only about 2.5 stars. **** Rack of lamb: Lamb is tender, served with a nice curry sauce. *** Cashew chicken & shrimp was okay **^ Duck Basil: The duck is rather dry. ** Thai style garlic squid is so-so. The squid doesn't have a great texture & is on the hard side. It's relatively bland, especially compared to some of the other dishes. *^ Thai Curry Salmon was plain and not very flavourful. The large Salmon fillet was overcooked read more

Good for a quick lunch. Good for small group lunch. Simple menu. Ni frills style. Quick service. They close between lunch and dinner, so don't arrive at 2;45. Or you'll have to wait until dinner time. It can be a little drafty in winter. Window faces Chestnut St just like the old place, but now in the bottom of a tall apartment building. Street parking. read more

A great, easy, and fast place for lunch near campus. No frills service but fast and attentive, deck inside is simple but plain, definitely clean. Their lunch specials are affordable and filling. Start with a soup, appetizer, and entree. I had their tom kha soup (coconut soup w/ vegetables), which was delicious, and crab dumplings, which were small and more like shumai than a dumpling. The entree (salmon) was AMAZING, crispy and moist and so flavorful w/ a chili garlic cilantro sauce. Rice was a little dry, but whatever, who eats the rice anyways. Finished w/ a Thai iced tea (2$, 3$ if you want boba). Over all, affordable and delicious. I'll definitely come back. read more

Ordered the crab fried rice here. All the dishes here are strangely wet, probably from too much oyster sauce. I wasn't a fan of the crab meat; it tasted tough and was probably frozen previously. They did give me a lot of rice, half of which I took home and had for lunch the next day. read more

As someone who loves Thai food, this wasn't the best Thai food I've ever had, but it did the trick given how hungry I was. I ordered the basil sauce and vegetable spring roll for delivery. The delivery was the 30-45 minute as predicted. Let's start at the spring rolls. The outside was extremely crispy and crunchy and the inside was a lot softer than I'm used to. The juxtaposition of such differing textures wasn't really the best experience for me. The sauce that came with it was also too sweet. The basil sauce didn't really taste like Thai basil sauce. It was a bit too oily and the tangy. The chicken was mediocre and there was one chicken piece that was slightly overcooked, bordering on mushy. Despite all this, it wasn't a TERRIBLE meal, it just didn't taste like Thai food in the way I'm used to it. Overall it was okay, but I think I'll have to keep searching for my go to Thai spot in Philly. read more

So many years ago I used to eat at the location near 40th and Market. I used to love it. There weren't that many places in West that were satisfying and this was one of them. Decided to try their current location with my youngest. I forgot that they were a BYO so when I was reminded upon entering, I left momentarily to retrieve a bottle of wine right down the street at the Acme. Mission accomplished. We were one of a few diners on a Saturday night but it looked as if they were doing a lot of take out orders. We started with the chicken satay and the edamame gyoza. Both were delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy and the gyoza hit the spot. I ordered the tofu and broccoli in peanut sauce and my daughter had the pineapple fried rice. Hers was the winning order. My peanut sauce was a bit sweet and there were no crushed peanuts to top it off. Her pineapple fried rice, however was delicious with huge chunks of pineapple and delicious fried rice with big chunks of red pepper and onion. This was a good choice. It was quiet and provided a nice atmosphere to talk and enjoy our food. It was good to be back. read more

I've came here a couple more times since my last review and my other experiences have been much better! The service is still pretty average and they're still slow but the food makes up for it. I actually really like how their curry are salty because it makes the rice flavorful after you put it into the curry. The fried chicken wontons are also a staple and a great appetizer. This place is also pretty accommodating to large groups for BYOs but beware that each dish comes out at different times so you may not want to wait for everyone's food to arrive before eating. But overall, a pretty decent place for Thai food. read more

I decided to order UberEats due to Covid and now the riots so I decided to try this place since I was in the mood for Thai food. I ordered chicken pad thai. The portions are surprisingly generous for $9.95. Surprisingly the chicken pad thai came with tofu which I am a fan of (but if you're a newbie to tofu, you might want to ask for no tofu). However, the chicken was really dry. And overall the dish was lacking in flavor. I should have ordered medium spice to see if the dish could be more flavorful. I probably won't order again since there are many other good Thai places in Philly and surrounding neighborhoods. read more

It has been YEARS since I've eaten here. Second to Circles, Singha's pad Thai used to be my favorite. I decided to try the Early Bird special. I ordered the vegetable coconut soup, the spring roll, and pad Thai. The pad Thai was not like what I remembered. It was pink and super sweet. It was one of the few times I've ever sent something back to the kitchen and asked for something else. I got the red curry instead. The staff was very gracious and accommodating, and everything was delicious. I appreciate their affordable prices and keeping the lunch special even after covid, as many Thai places that used to have it, no longer do. read more

Great food and service! Was not over crowded and my friends and I were sat as soon as we arrived. Fried shrimp rolls and Pad Thai were great but the fried bananas with condensed milk are a MUST for dessert! Great, low-key place for a bite to eat in University City! read more

If you want BYO, this is one of few places around the area that allows it.

I'm just not a big fan of the food. Staff is nice though read more

I had explosive diarrhoea within an hour of eating their food. The Panang curry was tasteless. Thai iced tea and coconut custard was good.

Thai restaurant across from my old apartment - I would give it a 3.5 Pros: - Dishes: pad see ew, drunken noodles, red curry - BYOB! lots of club BYOs have been held here - the space isn't huge but it does make for a good BYO spot Cons: - Portion for price isn't the best in my opinion - Once ordered in person and had to wait ~30 minutes for 1 pad see ew read more

Went here for lunch and I have to say they have a great lunch special (check out their website). So have this no sharing platters with the lunch I believe, which is why I took away one star because my friend literally had one bite and i head "are you two sharing?" uhm no, he was just tasting it...why so serious. It does say no sharing but one bite should not be a big deal sheesh! But I enjoyed my food and so did my partner. $10 fo three courses isnt bad, and i got thai iced tea-always a hit. We spent about 35 dollars on lunch but thats because my partner ordered the rest of the menu =) service was solid, nothing to brag about. Place is quaint but cute and you have to find street parking, I definitely would come back again =) read more

No complaints at all! I had the drunken noodles lvl 2 w beef which was the perfect level of spice for me which I really enjoyed.. I would be on the cautious side with the spice, you can get extra chilli to add spice but you can't take it out! My friend got the Thai tea and loved it, would recommend. I'll be coming back here for my Thai food fix in university city! read more

Thai Singha House - Drunken Noodle (spicy) - Thai Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The best place to satisfy your Thai food craving in University City, in my honest opinion. I've gotten their Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles many times in the past and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I've also gotten their famous Chicken Coconut Soup, which offers such a unique flavor that I cannot find anywhere else in Uni City. One dish that I would beware of is their Chicken Swimming Rama, which I did not find appetizing nor appealing. Slices of both dry and wet chicken covered in copious amounts of peanut sauce and simple boiled broccoli did not make my mouth water when it arrived at my table and is technically the only dish I regret ordering from here. Other than that, excellent service with fairly great Thai food. Not to mention, it's also BYOB. :-) read more

Ordered Pad Thai w chicken & tofu ... the tofu was crispy and delicious. The chicken was good. The flavor of the Pad Thai was spot on - perhaps A bit sweet but when you squeeze the lime provided with it - it really balances the flavors. Large portions. I have ordered Pad thai from everywhere else that delivers to me on seamless and in the past 3 years, I have yet to re-order from somewhere bc I was always disappointed. It may have taken me a bit but I found my spot! Shrimp/chicken lemongrass soup is PHENOMENAL. tangy and delicious. Their wonton soup is also superb. The clear broth is flavorful. Their mango w sticky rice was SO. GOOD. I haven't had mango that good since my last trip to the Caribbean. Wow. read more

Ordered the chicken coconut soup, tamarind duck, pineapple fried rice with chicken, fried tofu, Penang curry with beef. All taste so good. The penang curry was the perfect spicy. Not overwhelming. The pineapple fried rice was a nice blend of pineapple and the veggies in the rice. The chicken in the coconut soup was tender . It's a good change from just chicken soup. The tamarind duck was cooked just right. Everything ordered complemented each other. The restaurant is quaint. Service is quick. Can't wait to try other dishes. This is a great cuisine to try if you want to branch out from your normal lunch/dinner outings. read more

This was my first bad food experience in Philadelphia. I ordered vegetable pad thai and was thoroughly disappointed. The dish was wet with a watery liquid at the bottom of the plate, as if the noodles hadn't been drained properly. The rice noodles were all broken into tiny pieces that made it difficult to eat without using a spoon. I was given tofu in the dish even though tofu is an add-on that I didn't order. All of this could be forgiven if the flavor was on point, but it wasn't. It lacked any sour notes, aside from a wedge of lime served on the side of the plate. The sweetness was tasted artificial and out of balance. There was no heat whatsoever. There was nothing savory about it, aside from a few crumbed peanuts. Just boring and bland wet noodles. The broccoli had a nice crunch to it though. The food deserves only 1 star, but the waitress was kind so I'm giving a (generous) 2 star review. I walked out of the restaurant feeling regret. read more
