Grandma's Philly

Reservations at 7:15, seated at 7:20, first food delivered to table at 8:05. Catfish salad was phenomenal but it was the last item delivered at 8:30 to table, instead of being first as appertizer. Green squash curry, was very good but not sure what makes it a special. Salmon nom pla seemed a liitle tame, a lot of salmon and not enough sauce. Staff was clearly overwhelmed and the food delivery services definitely messed up the kitchen's timing and ruined whatever atmosphere the restaurant have taken pains to put together. The drivers clogged up the reception area, blocking diners' movements, food delivery to tables and brought a grungy feel to the sophisticated looking dining room.

Excellent Thai food! Everything that was ordered was phenomenal. I highly recommend coming here for thai food. The small plates were beyond great. We got the Tom Yum soup, vegetable spring rolls, and the Tofu skewers. The skewers were scrumptious! For dinner, I ordered the PaNang curry and Pad See Ew- both were great, but I enjoyed the small plates way more. I'd go back because the food was great. I thought the service was very okay. No friendly hellos when you enter or ask questions during the dining experience. Very bland service. They seat you, serve you, and that's it. We wanted to order dessert, and the girl that waited for us just gave us the check without asking. So, we didn't get to experience dessert. Beyond the mediocre service, it's worth going for the food.

The grandma’s lychee drink was too cute to drink, but when you take that first sip….wow it was delicious! We ended getting a few more because we were told happy hour started lol I got their pad thai with tofu and a spice level 4 and it was so yummy! I love a good mango sticky rice and they did not disappoint! I devoured it. Will most definitely come back!!

This place has one of the best pad see ews I’ve had in Philly. However, it’s very inconsistent. I’ve been 3 times in a week (great food) but each time there are inconsistencies. The first glass noodle salad was tiny and the second two times I went they were double the portion (honestly a pleasant surprise). I asked for peanuts in the glass noodle salad which is how I had them while in Thailand. The second time I came the peanuts were whole (how the dish is traditionally prepared) but today they were pad Thai peanuts which throws off the dish entirely. Additionally, my first time here, the sever asked me for spice level preference and the next two times I wasn’t given an option. I will keep coming back but as a prospective regular, consistency is paramount.

I was recommended to this restaurant by an attendee at Pax Unplugged. I'm glad they did. The Pad See Ew was excellent. They can adjust the spice level to your preference on most dishes. The drinks are STRONG. For dessert, I had the sticky rice with mango. It was presented in a cute little dish and was piping hot. This is on my list of places to visit again when I attend Pax Unplugged next year.
