Delish Thai - Review - Wynnewood - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"Calling your restaurant “delish” is a flex not many can pull off. Wynnewood’s Delish Thai can. Whether serving a table of decades-long friends sharing the chicken pad thai “not too spicy,” or tamarind drinks and tom yum hot pot to Bryn Mawr students, Delish can bring the funk, heat and freshness we love about Thai food. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo Pause Unmute We especially love the decadent gui chai tod, sweet and spicy ped pad prik and whole fried branzino in chuchee curry. Grab better-than-usual takeout or take advantage of the BYOB to level up their excellent non-alcoholic drinks and have a family-style meal with friends. With Sang Kee Asian Bistro across the parking lot, Philly Lobster and Nothing Bundt Cakes further down the strip mall, Delish Thai is the epicenter of the tiny Wynnewood food scene. Food Rundown Gui Chai Tod A soft and pungent filling of chives and rice flour melt inside a crispy charred crust. There are many versions of this Thai classic around Philly. This one is tied with Kalaya’s for the best. Really. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo Kanom Jeeb photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo Crab Fried Rice Another dish that is done all over town, this version is done properly at half the price of others, with abundant crab, and a fishy, funky, spicy prik nam pla to add aroma and umami. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo Pee Pad Prik Duck is stir fried with sweet and spicy chili paste and veggies: green beans, eggplant and thai basil. This is a dream take-out order or a good entree to share. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo Fried Fish with Chu Chee Curry A show-stopping whole branzino is fried until a bit too dry and set atop a pond of chuchee curry to redeem it. This is a must-order for a group. The best part is you’ll have extra curry that you’ll be fighting to take home for tomorrow’s meal prep. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo" - Jonathan Deutsch
