This little hidden place along a busy curve on route 30 is great. Yes I agree service is a little slow but at the same time do you really want your app/entree/dessert all severed in a matter of 10mins? When I go out to dinner I want to experience everything. In preparation of that type of treatment at almost all restaurants I go to now, I order the apps…. eat half way through it and then order my entree and that’s because they want you in and out as fast as possible aka the American fast food way. When you go to $50 entree places and they want the table cleared before you sit down is ridiculous. Now I’m not saying they are that expensive. I’m saying they are just right for what they offer. I come here a lot with my Fiancée and friends. We have a great time because it’s a place where you can do something else besides stuffing your face...You can talk and have a conversation. I give this a Siskel and Ebert 4 thumbs up every time.

The worst Thai food I ever had. You generally can never go wrong with Thai food. This proved me wrong. I am pretty sure most of the good reviews in there are fake reviews or from the previous Thai restaurant in the same location. We ordered 6 items, not one was edible, either half cooked or doused in curry water. Pad thai on the streets of Bangkok tasted 100 times better. $75 bill later we had to walk out hungry. How can one go wrong with Thai iced tea? When you hear microwave in the back you can be pretty sure the quality of the shrimp dumplings. Go some other place and dont ruin your evening.

I have been going here for many many years. I believe the signature dish should be Gang Garee Gai (Not sure on the spelling...but sure on the taste!) Its Yellow Curry Chicken in a coconut curry cream sauce served with diced potatoes and rice. Its simply my favorite dish PERIOD. The host is great, and his wife in the back serves up amazing dishes at amazing prices. I like the new location...a little bigger and easier to find as well. Stop in and tell him "Gang Garee Guy" sent you...he wont give you a discount but he might chuckle. Enjoy! Gang Garee Guy....

I bought the high ratings; hook line and sinker. I was visiting from out of town and I convinced my friends (all locals) that this was going to be a gem. I have never been so embarrassed in all my life. My friends ordered items from the menu (Thai coffee, Spring Rolls, a Thai Steak dish) of which the owner replied "oh we dont have any of that." He then offered to make one of the items on the menu for my wife, marked up "for labor charge" as a "specialty". The food arrived about 65 minutes after ordering it, and it was fairly cold. The taste was average.

I just learned about this place this spring 09. They make delicious food. They serve many typical Thai dishes, but as an proprietor of international food, many of their dishes have other Eastern influences. I particularly recommend the Pad Seafood. Described as sauteeed scallops, shrimp and squid with yellow curry powder and onions, the blend of the unique flavors is sublime. There are also great dishes with ginger. Every time I go I have tried a new dish and have found new deliciousness each time! Definitely worth trying!

* Next to a bowling alley * Delicious and intimate * BYOB * Affordable * Run by a husband / wife. Husband serves / wife cooks. * Perfect date spot You enter in the middle of the restaurant, which is a hallway. On the left is a main seating area with 2 or 4 person tables. On the right is a little room with just one big table that seats maybe 8 people, which is perfect for a big group. You dont need reservations for the left side, but I assume you do for the "big table".

Went to dinner tonight for the first time having lived on the Main Line my whole life. This restaurant is really a gem. The food was great (we ordered the chicken curry and chicken pad thai) and the service was very friendly. Dont let the bleak exterior deter you!

One of the undiscovered gems in the area. The food is fresh, very good and reasonably priced. The owner is gracious. You can have a conversation in this place as opposed to other options nearby. And BYOB. Love this place--We will return!!

Terrific soup! The flavor of the red curry was amazing and authentic. The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet. The owner was very accommodating. Homemade dessert was an unexpected surprise. I will definitely go back.

WHACK! Tom yum goong had no flavor and no spice. Chicken basil lunch dish was all rice, very little meat & veggies, and minimal sauce. I wont be returning. Price was right, though.

Very good Thai food. Authentic. Charming couple that runs the place, although they may not appear to be so at first blush. I love the Pad Pug Gai and the Pad Krao Pao

Loved basil fried rice. So good. My friend got green curry and it is extra spicy but they hanged the order when asked. Definitely try this place again.

Food was great. We went in at 9.28pm, she hosted us perfectly. Red curry was very good without too much coconut milk.

The worst Thai food I ever had. Expensive for Chinese food gone Thai. The staff was nice but the food was terrible.
