I had undoubtedly one of the best meals, Thai or other, that I have had in a very long time! This restaurant was exceptional in every way- from the coziness of the atmosphere to the soothing music, the warmth of the hostess and last but not least- the exquisite cuisine! Everything was fresh and seasoned to perfection! I loved the Basil Fried Rice with Crab and the Thai Lemon Ice Tea. Do yourself a favor and visit Anchan soon. I’ll be returning!

This location has been a Thai restaurant for a few years. It recently changed ownership and the menu - for the better. The food and the service are excellent. Dinner Thai restaurants typically bring out the food when it's ready. We were asked (party of 3 that didn't order 3 entrees). The food was hot and delicious. Ask your server if you need help about options and spice level. They know and we're very helpful. Highly Recommended.

Update: party of two and the food is still excellent with items you won't find on the typical Thai restaurant menu.

Update: party of 6 on a night when the restaurant was packed and the food is still excellent. They only challenge was between the full restaurant and a steady steam of takeout orders, service was a bit slow

Not only is this location a hidden gem, but one of the best Thai food I have ever had. Apple, the owner, was very welcoming and friendly! Every dish we had was a delight. The vegetables were fresh and had a delicious crunch, the seafood was refreshing, the meat was tender, and the dessert was so unique! I cannot wait to dine here again.

I was hanging out in in New Jersey and Philadelphia for the weekend and my family and I stumbled across this beautiful gem. By me being. Vegan it was hard to find something for everyone to eat in the same place. You will Love the food and the Host Apple is a dear. They took great care of us and the food was slamming. I will definitely be back.

Very clean, warm and welcoming atmosphere! The service is friendly and fast and we enjoyed everything we ordered. I usually take pictures of the food before I start eating but this Pad Kee Mao was so yummy I forgot to photograph it u til half way through the meal!

Oh my goodness! I did a take-out order based on the high reviews of this restaurant. My food was delicious, fresh and hot when I arrived home. Definitely will come back again and try other dishes!

The sesame chicken was very chewy. Dishes are expensive, $71 for three items. Will not return ever

Had lunch here yesterday, very clean restaurant. Soothing atmosphere . Friendly, welcoming, helpful and charming staff. Great food options on the menu, nice portions, fresh and delicious. I will definitely visit this restaurant again.

Really delicious food and great choices. Very authentic thai

The food is impeccable and so is the customer service. Very clean establishment. Highly recommend.

The best wonton soup ever! Just a cute quaint place to dine in or carry out.

Our new local favorite. Great background music, too.

Excellent

Our first time getting food from here and it was a very good experience. The food was fresh, very tasty and flavorful. We ordered the Pad See Ew w beef, which was fantastic, and not greasy like it often can be. We also got the Tom Kai coconut soup w Shrimp and the shrimp were deveined well, big and fresh. We also ordered the Red Curry with tofu and it was so great, slightly spicy, but just the right amount (which is good bc they don’t give you a spice level option when ordering on line). We also had coconut rice and it was a fun blue color and totally tasty! I highly recommend this place, the chef is a little older lady who came out and said hi, and was very friendly. We’ll def be back!

Great fresh Thai in a small local shop. Small menu,but all the classics are there. They will adjust the heat once they get to know you.

I think this establishment has new management and the food is excellent and the service is friendly and efficient. Great job guys.

We have gotten take-out here multiple times and it is legit. Good food. My GF likes it because she can click "Not Spicy" and when she asks for crispy tofu, the tofu is crispy. The owners are very friendly and accommodating.

Really like this place. Small and a little loud, but clean and pleasant. Other than a miss on steamed dumplings (cold AND replaced and removed from the bill), the food was excellent. Pad Thai, Red Curry, fried dumplings and Salmon were really great. Nice portions, well prepared and very flavorful. Great value for a quality Thai meal. Owner was on site and a great host. Will definitely be back soon.

Ordered takeout at night from Anchan recently through a food delivery service this weekend. Made no changes to my order of Tofu Pad Kee Mao (No Dairy, no Gluten) Some of the best drunken wide rice noodles I’ve ever eaten. They even took the time to carve carrots into a flower, which incidentally were the only carrots present in the dish. The onions were crispy and the bell peppers were sliced thin and in different colors. I was super grateful for no cooked carrots in the dish as in Asian dishes as they typically serve as a low cost filler. Very pleased with the takeout presentation. Will be returning.

The food is absolutely delicious! The portions are plenty, and the food is fresh and made with love 💗 …. Definitely a must try!

Outstanding Thai food! Have been to every Thai restaurant in the area and this rates as my #1. Nice atmosphere and warm friendly service only adds to the experience. Give them a try and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to go back!

Very enjoyable dining. Food was well prepared and delicious.

Food was absolutely amazing. We were a party of 4 and all were completely happy with the food. Very relaxed and casual atmosphere and BYOB. Leave room for desert!

Hooray! This is the best Thai Food we’ve had on the Main Line (trumps Narberth and Wynnewood offerings). We tried the Thai Eggplant with tofu and veg and Drunken Noodles as takeout and both were delicious and beautifully presented. The team there was very friendly. I’m sure we’ll be back to dine there and try more takeout in the future. Bala Avenue needs more energy and we’re glad that Anchan Thai is now in the neighborhood!

Very tasty food in a friendly environment with nice people. I will definitely be back!

Great place. Loved the som tum and the chicken satay and the actually spicy green curry. Pleasantly surprised.

Outstanding thai food. Owners and staff extremely friendly. Cannot wait to go back!

Amazing food that is presented beautifully. The service is great, they are so kind and you can tell that they love what they do. It shows in the food. The green curry and mango sticky rice was awesome. Will definitely be a regular go to.

I ordered takeout with a number of requests to change my other to accommodate vegetarians. The restaurant was wonderful in accommodating our requests. Good was tasty. We ordered green and masaman curry. A salad. Each dish was tasty leaving us wanting more next time.

Not only is this location a hidden gem, but one of the best Thai food I have ever had. Apple, the owner, was very welcoming and friendly! Every dish we had was a delight. The vegetables were fresh and had a delicious crunch, the seafood was refreshing, the meat was tender, and the dessert was so unique! I cannot wait to dine here again.

We accidentally happened upon this great new Thai restaurant in Bala-Cynwyd, and halfway through the meal they let us know that we were their very first customers! Flavors are delicious. The vegetables are very fresh and the staff could not be nicer. Pleasant atmosphere, and they’re very accommodating. Will definitely come back!
