Delicious food. Fair prices. Line moves quickly. People are friendly and polite.

Diner Review №2

The food is AMAZING

Diner Review №3

The salmon curry at this restaurant has been voted by The Infatuation as one of the best dishes at Reading Terminal Market. I really have to ask whether the reviewer has tried Thai food before? The salmon was thinly sliced and overcooked. The curry sauce was thin and flavourless.

They offered a sweet chilli sauce but I guessed that I would need extra chilli so I asked for "some spicy chilli". They did not have any.

The entire thing was a travesty of Thai food and any Thai should be embarrassed to serve it.

Diner Review №4

Pad Thai not good. Basically just pink sugar noodles. Super sweet, no spice, separate disjointed flavors. If you've ever had good Pad Thai you're going to be disappointed with this.

Diner Review №5

My all time go to is the curry salmon bowl. It’s so delicious.

Diner Review №6

The curry salmon is so good the line wraps around the corner.

Diner Review №7

This one was just ok for me. I got the red vegetarian curry so maybe that’s on me. It was better than the lunch at the conference I was at, so that’s not nothing.

Diner Review №8

BBQ chicken skewers, broccoli and shrimp with the sweet chili sauce. I thought it was pretty tasty and i thought the service was solid and friendly. Everything else looked pretty good, so I’d like to try some other dishes there. I would recommend. Btw, line moves fast.

Their shrimp coconut soup is to die for! Great prices, and very friendly professional staff. 100/10

Diner Review №11

I really enjoyed their shrimp pad Thai and shrimp tom yum goong soup. So yummy. Great price.

Diner Review №12

I’ve been going to this place for a few years. The food is ok. The salmon over rice is their one hit wonder. I like the chicken with bean shoots I think is the name. For some reason the last few times that I’ve been there, they only want to sell the shrimps in the bean shoots and you note have to buy the chicken in another sauce. What’s the difference in what sauce they put over your food. I think I’m done with this place. Give the customers what they ask for if you have it available.

Diner Review №13

The salmon was really tender and delicious. The rice however was really mushy and grainy? This was my first time trying Thai food so maybe that’s how it’s supposed to taste. I can’t speak on service and atmosphere because the food was bought for me. I wouldn’t eat the rice again but the grilled salmon and chicken spring rolls were great.

Diner Review №14

I was so happy to discover Thai food at Reading Terminal but only to be disappointed!

This was the WORST pad Thai that I ever had in my life. Cashier was also incredibly RUDE to me by gesturing with her hand to hand my card to her without telling me first how much she was going to charge me. Also, I threw my SOGGY pink dyed pad Thai in the trash. Yes-it was that bad.

Bye!! First & Last time.

Diner Review №16

I ordered the spring roll with different sauce when i paid for it i asked the cashier , did she put sauce in the bag , she said its in there when i got home eat it there is no sauce at all .
The cashier is so rude and never be nice to asian customers at all .

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №27

Their salmon curry has always been my favorite lunch meal, when I used to work in center city. A simple Thai meal you would find on the street of Thailand. Something a Thai local would eat for lunch on their work day. Flavor is still missing that Thai kick, but it’s the closest we can get to the work day street food of Thailand

Diner Review №28

Diner Review №29

Good source of hard to find vegetables for Asian cooking. Good location and parking. Clean.

Diner Review №30

Supposedly one of the decent lunch spots at Reading Terminal. Came by to try the highly rated Salmon curry, and I was slightly disappointed. The salmon was indeed big, but there wasn't anything super interesting about the taste. The curry is a yellow curry, and they basically make a huge batch in which they pour on top of your platter of rice/salmon/broccoli. To be honest, it was a little too watery for me. Since I worked at an authentic Thai restaurant for a few years, this place was a bit disappointing. Waiting for my food felt like I was in a conveyor; they were just making a bunch of platters and at the end "topped it off" with whatever you ordered. For me, eating here one time is enough; I don't think I would come back for anything else.

Rating: 4.5/10
Pros: Big salmon, easy lunch spot
Cons: long line

if you want pad Thai from the microwave save yourself a few bucks and just get it in a package from the grocery store, it'll taste about the same

Food was not that great but was very expensive 🤔

Diner Review №46

Bad experience, not good quality Thai food, go elsewhere. I gave them a $20 bill for my $6 meal and the cashier short changed me and only gave $4 back. My friend ordered Pad Thai and they put cilantro in it without asking. He’s deathly allergic to it.

Diner Review №47

Great place to have lunch they have the best salmon bowls

Diner Review №57

I’ve been going to this place for years and I was totally addicted to the salmon bowls with curry sauce. It saddens me to say that my sister found a bug in her salmon bowl. She took the bowl back and was refunded back her money. This just is so upsetting.

Salmon, Rice and Curry Sauce.. thank me later!

Diner Review №83

It was the first time I stopped by this little Thai Market because I thought it was a grocery store. At 5 pm., they were still coming. I realized they left all food full pots for next day. They don’t put in the refrigerator. They leave all their curries over night. That is how it is in Thailand. I have not eaten the coconut soup yet. I watched the video I took then I realized those food are left over not put away. That is why they can sales food cheap.

Diner Review №175

There's usually a line at this place all the time BUT ITS WORTH IT. I work nearby and this is my go to lunch spot when I want to treat myself but still stay on a budget. The line also moves quickly which is a plus. I get the Salmon Curry and it's always delicious, huge portions, and wonderfully priced. It usually averages at 8 to 10 dollars per meal, depending if you add extra. Salmon Curry (comes with a generous slice of salmon, rice, and broccoli) alone is $8. Salmon Curry with extra rice, extra broccoli, and adding shrimp run about $12. Definitely worth it here!

Diner Review №176

Great value, tasty Thai! Love the shrimp pad thai, and the salmon curry is awesome! Try the chicken spring rolls - bigger than an egg roll with the crispy texture of a spring roll....only larger!!

Diner Review №177

Good tasting food at an affordable price. It's a popular place to eat so its always busy but line moved quickly. The place is located at Reading Terminal so if you've been here on the weekend or when there's an event happening the place can be congested but that's what makes it so much fun!

This place is efficient and the line moves fast but the food is average at best. I got the shrimp pad thai which wasn’t bad but nothing to write home about. Seems most stuff is reheated in the microwave because chef mic was working overtime. It’s not bad but there are better options at the terminal.

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE...went 8/14 to reading terminal to get the famous Thai Salmon because finally no line. I asked for xtra brocolli NO rice. What i got is a little brocolli and a little than usual piece of salmon ( the end)and paid extra. The woman in front of me who ordered 3 got xtra broccoli and decent piece of salmon. Went back to tell them that i probably got wrong one and they totally disregarded me. No customer service...Very disappointed they should at least gave me a new one or money back...i would never complain...

Diner Review №200

Long queues for lunch which moves fairly quickly. Has all the typical thai dishes, however both times the curries (basil, yellow) were quite bland.

Has a 10$ minimum to be able to use card.
