Flavor packed food with a punch! Best in Philly in my opinion. Huge portions and authentic tastes that are unmatched.

Diner Review №3

My neighborhood Thai place! Never disappoints, food always delicious & fresh & beautiful looking. So pleasant to eat in and takeout. Lunch special is a great deal. Thai omelette was so so good and so unique! Thai iced tea isn’t too sweet but so flavorful. If you need Thai in south Philly go here!

Diner Review №4

Food was absolutely delicious, portion sizes were very generous and staff super friendly. There were 4 of us and every dish including appetizers were all full of flavor and delicious. Overall great experience and will definitely go back

We did not dine in. The owner and staff were so helpful and kind. My crew liked the wings and said the food was flavorful. Big portions.

AmeriThai is great! We often order from here and it never disappoints. The staff is always very welcoming and friendly. Our dishes of choice are their pad thai, massaman curry, and crazy noodles. their pineapple fried rice is delicious as well as their shrimp spring rolls.

Diner Review №11

Cute cafe! A bit hot inside but the food is good. Service was friendly and helpful although food took a while to come out

Diner Review №12

I highly recommend this place for a pleasant experience all around with the service, food, and atmosphere. The red curry had all my favorite vegetables in it like eggplant, green beans and broccoli and you can choose your protein. The Pad see ew was also delicious and better than any other Thai restaurant in South Philly.

Great food, wonderful place. Cash only or Venmo. Will be back!

Diner Review №15

I love this place. Their food is always a 10/10 whether you’re dining in or ordering takeout! The staff are super friendly. This is the perfect spot to have an intimate get together with friends. The service is outstanding.

Diner Review №16

I love the food here. Went here a couple of times and the food always delicious.

Diner Review №17

We stopped in close to closing for takeout and Joy at the counter was delightful and helpful. We ordered Massaman curry and Thai tea and both were made quickly. Now that we are home, we are discovering that their food is EXCELLENT. We look forward to going back and dining in.

Diner Review №18

Best Thai food I’ve found in Philly. The people that work there are always incredibly kind and make me so happy to support their business.

Diner Review №19

Incredibly delicious and with quick, friendly service. We’ll be back over and over.

Diner Review №20

Really really great find! We typically stick to the same Thai spot, but wanted somewhere new and this place did not disappoint! Started with the Pork Spring Rolls and they were crispy and tasted fresh! We got the Green Curry and it was insanely good. The spice was just the right amount while being so creamy. So good. Also got the Crazy Noodles with Beef and they were pretty great.

I will say the ONLY negative thing was that the noodles for the Crazy Noodles dish were just a little gummy, but I really really still enjoyed it.

We picked up the items today and everyone was so friendly and thankful. Felt comfortable and the inside was really nice. Can’t wait to eat here again!

Thank you guys!

Diner Review №21

Loved the chicken basil fried rice!!

Diner Review №22

The higher rating of this place was very mis-leading. Overall this was an extremely mediocre dining experience. First, the heat in the building does not work, and apparently hasn’t for quite some time. There was a small space heater that they placed under our table, but the place was freezing. The bathroom was located thru a dirty, cluttered hallway. The server was kind, but confused our order multiple times, and we were the only table in the restaurant the entire time we were there on a Saturday evening. The food was overall lackluster - mostly average, certainly not excellent. Perhaps they focus solely on take out, since the dine in experience was so poor.

Diner Review №23

Been here a bunch of times and have dined it, taken out, or even door dashed it. This is the best Thai food in Philadelphia. The people that work here are so lovely and the food tastes amazing. There are options for everyone and so much to choose from on the menu. I’ve never been disappointed!

Diner Review №24

Fresh ingredients, great flavor, good prices and portion sizes

Diner Review №25

New owner are super friendly and kind.
Food delicious and super fresh.
Definitely my new favorite Thai restaurant in the city. We back for sure.

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

First time eating here, ordered the red chicken curry for pick up and it was absolutely delicious!

Diner Review №28

Pad Thai is flavorful and nutty. The level 5 spicy is challenging and the overall is really good.

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №30

A small family owned restaurant that prepares traditional and authentic meals with quality ingredients. First visit but won’t be my last.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Absolutely incredible Thai food, we just moved to the area and I was so afraid of spending a lot of time finding the right Thai place and I was blown way by Ameri Thai. The vegetables were fresh, not greasy at all and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be ordering again!

Diner Review №33

We found a hidden gem. The Chicken massaman was great, tender chicken and full of flavor. The spring rolls were delicious, light, and crunchy. Great service. Food is made to order and very fresh.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

The duck was incredible, the sauces were amazing and the service was great. No complaints, I'm glad I made the trek from north Philly!

Diner Review №39

Great food. Was craving Thai and got the Pad See Euw and my partner got Chu Chee Duck. They were both very good and came as large servings, was able to eat half there and took half back for lunch leftovers. Would highly recommend, be aware they prefer cash or Venmo

Diner Review №40

You can taste how fresh the ingredients are. Everything tastes homemade and delicious. The Thai Basil is my go to. And the young woman who runs front of house is such a professional! Love this neighborhood spot

Diner Review №41

I have long loved the takeout, but I also just tried dine-in and it was a 5 star experience. Quaint and relaxing. Delicious food. Welcoming staff. Lovely vibe!!

Diner Review №42

I’ve been looking for Thai food in Philly for three years and magically stumbled upon this place. There is an authentic Thai place in my home town and ever since I left I’ve been trying to find Thai food that tastes like how I remember. This place is fantastic and they do Thai hot really well. Thank you so much !

Diner Review №43

Good food

Diner Review №44

Always excellent. Always get the order right. Always pleasant. Love this place!

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

So much flavor in every dish. Highly recommend. Delicious food, good portions, friendly, helpful staff and we even got a close parking spot on a Friday night.

Diner Review №47

Awesome takeout spot. The food is always consistantly good. Staff is always very nice and accommodating. It's great you can ask for things to be made vegan.

Diner Review №48

This place was sadly a disappointment considering all of the good reviews.

Order came out to $25 which is quite high for the quality

I ordered shrimp roll which was fantastic, but the pad Thai lacked all flavor whatsoever. Not even a hint of sweet taste or peanuts either. I had to throw it away because I know I wouldn’t want the rest for a second meal.

Diner Review №51

Placed the order online. They called to confirm it, told me to pick it up. I arrived - restaurant is closed, no one there. I called them to ask what is happening. They said that no one is there and they will refund me. Seriously terrible experience

Diner Review №52

Good food. They just keep closing when they feel like it and not following schedule.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Amazing food but so so terrible at answering their phone

Diner Review №55

The food is OK but not worth the bad service. I ordered from here yesterday and there was a extra fraudulent tip charged to my card. Once I called back to ask about the extra charge the worker was very rude and made up any excuse as to why they were charging my card again.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

An unexpected gem! Humble decor, fantastic food, friendly staff.

Diner Review №58

Two stars being that the food was done in a timely manor, and the Boba drink was good. The vegetable fried rice was mushy white rice with drizzled soy sauce. “Evil jungle princess beef” (name of dish) contains no beef… ?? The mango chicken was over cooked, very chewy. The chicken dumplings also a disappointment.

Diner Review №59

This is very good Thai food in Philly. I have never been disappointed eating here. It’s stands with some of the better Thai places in Philly but I’m still searching for that knock your socks off Thai food in Philly.

Diner Review №60

Always delicious and super nice folks

Diner Review №61

Best Thai food I’ve had in Philly (including Kalaya). Very authentic with large portions, and the higher spice levels are actually spicy. My go-to is the tofu red curry, crazy noodles and spring rolls are also delicious. I’ve ordered here easily 20+ times and sadly no longer live within walking distance but will continue to order delivery until I find another equally good spot.

Diner Review №62

I’m so happy that I’ve found this place! I live in Delco but come to Philly often. I was drinking my delicious oat milk latte from Shot Tower and searching for Thai food nearby. I don’t eat animals anymore so I’ve had only tofu meals. Omg the pad Thai is delicious, it has lots of bean sprouts, the way I like it and everything tastes fresh. They even give a lime wedge, which tops off the taste 😋 the flavor is delicious and not dried out like I’ve had at many other places. They have the best spring rolls that I’ve ever tasted! Mango sticky rice for dessert is sooo good, I love that they put the sesame seeds on top😛 Nina is the girl that has been taking my order and we talked for a few moments today, she is such a sweet lovely young lady ☺️ Hi Nina! See you after I’m able to drive again!

Diner Review №63

Great food and service. Everything was fresh and authentic.

Diner Review №64

Went once and ordered the lunch specials. Food was fine, but the server gave us the dinner portions so we were charged much more than our meal should have been. Went back again in 2020 for takeout and the food was great. They have excellent social distance precautions in place. Still kind of pricey, but good.

Diner Review №65

Our new go to Thai place in Philly! Super delicious, good quality. Delivers fast too ✨

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

The best in south Philly

Diner Review №68

I’ve only tried their curries so far but they are insanely good and authentic. Generous portion sizes. Their kindness and friendliness is icing on the cake. Best Thai food I’ve had in philly.

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

Best pad Thai in South Philly

Diner Review №71

Delicious, authentic food. Fantastic portions, incredibly flavorful, kind and friendly service. Flawless.

Diner Review №72

Pad thai is great. The tom yum soup is the best I've had. Also you should try the dumplings. Have been and ordered out from here and never been disappointed.

Diner Review №73

The wings are awesome and the beef salad is great. Really solid Thai food.

Diner Review №74

Had food from here a few times and it never disappoints. Love their curry dishes for sure. This is my go-to place for Thai food.

Diner Review №75

An amazing hidden gem in South Philly! Had the pad thai with tofu which was lightly charred, tasting grilled. Summer rolls are addicting and super fresh. Wonton soup is legit! Prices are very fair and owners are very nice. Consider them for your next takeout order.

Diner Review №76

Really great place. Food was delicious with generous portions, and our server was really sweet.

Diner Review №77

Finally a good Thai place in South Philly. Fresh,affordable and tasty. Try to get Thai Spicy if you can handle it!

Diner Review №78

Best Thai food I’ve had and for a really good price.

Diner Review №79

This score is due to service. I tried to eat here while in town for the Flyers game. I called ahead to ensure they were open and it went to a message that said they would be. When we arrived the restaurant was shut, with no explanation of why there weren't. I understand things come up, especially for small family-run places, but just leave a note on the door and turn leave a message on your phone system so I at least won't leave you a 1-star review! Would like to return but I won't if I'm at all on a schedule.

Diner Review №80

This is a family owned and operated restaurant. The food was delicious and it seemed to be authentic. We felt good to be supporting a local mom and daughter spot. FYI, there are lunch deals everyday.

Diner Review №81

Diner Review №86

Whatever I got was really good. Just can’t remember the name of what I got

Diner Review №87

Good food and friendly service. I love their Thai chicken dumplings. So delicate and flavorful with their vinegar-based dipping sauce. The dining room won't win any design awards, but it is pleasant, with plenty of space between tables. Take out and delivery are available, and they're pretty quick too!

Every dish absolutely delicious, portions sizeable. Only complaint is service was a bit slow but it's worth waiting!

Diner Review №113

My first time here since moving to our new house and it was really good:) the curries were thick and flavorful with fresh veggies.... not as spicy as I would have liked but there was plenty of Thai red pepper sauce to add heat, as needed. The pork dumplings were great as was the pad Thai. Nice sized portions costing approx $10-12 each.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Great service and Vegan options. The cook/owner will make anything Vegan.

Diner Review №116

Wonderful chicken salad

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Their food was okay but they are the most inconsistent place I have ever been. They may actually have closed for good. We have attempted to order from them every week for the last two months and they with are closed or don’t deliver.

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Delicious. I got green chicken curry. A little spicy but so good. I’ve ordered from here on Grubhub but didn’t remember that until I saw the menu when I sat down and realized I had made a good decision.

Diner Review №121

Five Star.. 🙂 good foods and very cute little Thai girl behind the table. She wondered where we came from. She was very kind. We had dinner .. Best Wisches from Hungary 🙂 Go Eagles 🏈

I just ordered the shrimp thom yum soup and there were only 2 shrimp in it. Although the food tastes great, there is very little protein when the seafood dishes are ordered.

Diner Review №126

Diner Review №127

Delicious food, big portion size, and amazingly affordable. I paid $8 for this!!! Quick service and they didn't rush you to leave.

Diner Review №128

Diner Review №129

My fiancé and I have been dining in and ordering from this restaurant since summer 2016 and loved the food. However we had an awful experience today. It makes me wonder if there is new management because EVERYTHING about the experience took a total 180. First we order the Crispy Spicy that was supposed to be 5 drumsticks. They came out cold around the bones. They did bring us new wings and took the charge off the bill. Next we ordered mango chicken, which used to be breaded and fried and seasoned and had cooked mangoes in it. Now the chicken is flavorless with raw mangoes added at the end. It didn’t even taste like it had salt in it.
Unfortunately the food has gone from delicious to awful. Well not be eating here again

Diner Review №130

Best Thai lunch special in South Philly. Soooo good

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

Not only is the food amazing beyond words, but the service is equally as amazing. I selected their amazing dish Pad Se Ew and it was super spicy, because i ordered that way lol. Little did I know that i couldn’t handle the undefeated Thai pepper, and I couldn’t eat it. I let the amazing staff know that I couldn’t finish the dish and not only did they express genuine concern, but i was assisted right away with sincere service.
I will continue to be a loyal costumer and encourage anyone new to Thai food or just like it in general, this is the place to come. Not only do the flavors captivate the true authenticity of Thai food and it’s culture....but the service is 5 diamond standard if you ask me.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

Amazing and Authentic Thai food!!! Their Shrimp Pad Thai is the BEST in the city!!!

Diner Review №134

Diner Review №135

Very nice staff. Unfortunately, the food is not very authentic or spicy. Definitely watered down to suit the western (white) palate. A bit of heat and spice would be appreciated.

Diner Review №136

Awesome food! Friendly service. They happily fulfill my boyfriend's crazy requests for ridiculously spicy foods but normal people (me) are very happy with their regular spice levels too. Such a great spot in the neighborhood!!

Diner Review №137

EXCELLENT. The food and service were amazing. Our new South Philly Thai spot for sure.

Diner Review №138

Ordered and picked up take-out. Friendly staff. Good food!

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

Ordered mango chicken and tasted like over cooked American Chinese food and nothing like Thai food. Also I really don't think the meat was chicken due to taste and texture and bad after taste...Scared to think what I just ate...Massoman Beef was ok but again missing flavors typical of Thai food.

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

Loved it!!! Amazing food and service!!

Diner Review №143

I went in here just as they were opening and they were super friendly and had me on my way in no time. I had pad Thai which was delicious and their fried wings were awesome too. This place is fantastic.

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

Crazy noodle is the best! Food is very good and fresh. Love this place.

Diner Review №146

AmeriThai is the best! Their customer service is always smiles and happiness, I love that! They do delivery too! Their food is delivered to the table piping hot and fast, perfect!! They have Thai food and Vietnamese food! I recently had a cold so I ordered their beef Pho Vietnamese soup to go. It's perfect the way they package the pho to go. Delicious and authentic!

Diner Review №147

Great food...especially for vegetarians and vegans.

Diner Review №148

Every time I come to AmeriThai....I am blown away! After spending just a month in Thailand...I love the Thai culture and food. So....being here makes me feel like I'm back in Thailand!!! Amazing. Delicious. Authentic!

Diner Review №149

Good spot! Actually probably the best and cleanest Thai spot in South Philly. The food is delicious and spiced perfectly. The service is consistent and prices are reasonable for the most part. Much better than Circles which I've gotten food poisoning from before and definitely better than Swatadee which is a joke.

Diner Review №150

The food is amazing. Great menu! This is my new spot.

Diner Review №151

This is my all-time favorite Thai spot because their vegetarian options are all AMAZING! Really nice staff, fantastic food, cute ambience, and a convenient location with plenty of parking. Definitely a regular there!

Diner Review №152

Super friendly! Good food. Semi pricey.

Diner Review №153

Love the place, just moved here and used to work as a server for an authentic thai restaurant and let me tell you this place rocks!! love it here.

Diner Review №154

Heard about this place at the hair salon, I'm obsessed! I had the pork spring rolls, crispy chicken wings and seafood crazy noodles, I'm losing sleep thinking about how amazing the food is. This is definitely worth the travel!

Diner Review №155

Crowded and lots of waiting for a not so worthy food

Diner Review №156

Best Thai around. Fast and friendly.

Diner Review №157

Food is good love their vegan nuggets

Diner Review №158

These guys rock!! Crazy noodles are sooooo tasty!
salmon - amazing!
The pad-thai is good, but I prefer other dishes as I find it pretty bland comparatively. try the CRAZY NOODLES (yes, I am obsessed).

ALERT !! Lunch special is THE BEST DEAL $8 for entre the same size a their dinner portion + soup or salad. I always have left overs ffor dinner.
delivery is FAST and if you do pick up even faster :)
Nice people all around and delicious food.
Forget about Circles.. they give less and less and want more and more $$$
