Chabaa Thai Bistro

I loved this place. It was on a Sunday afternoon. I went to church alone and found myself craving something afterwards. It was supposed to snow that day, and I wanted to come home quickly, but I decided to go against it for some reason and found this gem of a restaurant. The food was incredible and beautifully plated. The artistic direction was appreciated, especially after realizing several other restaurants I wanted to go to were closed. And the taste of the appetizer and meal were better than the presentation. The service was perfect, considering I was the only person there on the starting to snow afternoon. The waitress served me with attention and detail, making me feel special and cared for throughout the entire time I was there. Could be chalked up to me being the only person there, but it doesn't take away from my review. The atmosphere of the restaurant was divine with the decorations and the serenity of the empty space. As pictured below, it was a lovely time to be there. I was the only person there, replicating a scene from a movie. It was magical because of the circumstances of the day, but I still give it 5 stars because of my willingness to try a new restaurant! I would recommend! Bring friends and family to enjoy!

Every time I have been here I have enjoyed amazing food, from their curries to their appetizers. I always did wish they offered more dishes, but to my delight they have specials on a smaller menu! From there, I got the taro rolls. These were really good, thin crispy wrap with mashed taro and soft carrots, and there was chicken in there but I really couldn’t tell, not a bad thing. I also got the red curry duck from the specials. This was amazing! The sauce was sweet and spicy and creamy, the vegetables included peppers and pineapples, adding extra sweetness. The risotto with it was cooked well and had soft mushrooms inside and added to the texture with the crunchy pineapples and the tender duck. The duck was fatty and flavorful. I have enjoyed their curries but this was really next level good! Service is always good here too, and it’s a relaxing, beautiful restaurant!

I went here today with my boyfriend. All the workers were very nice. The woman at the door was very welcoming and greeted us when we walked in. The atmosphere felt very relaxing. There was soft music playing in the background and the decor was very nice😍 The food was amazing. The appetizers, entree, everything! It was a pleasant experience and I will definitely be going again.

Oh this place is a delight! Hidden gem 💎. My friend and I were walking down Mainstreet and stumbled upon this restaurant. The service was amazing !! So friendly and warm! We got the sampler which was amazing! Super tasty. The Tom yum soup was the absolute best soup I have ever had! So flavorful, so light and so fresh! We ate it with a side of sticky rice 🍚 and it paired so well with the broth.The seafood fried rice was so delicious 😭😭. Enough for 2 people. It wasn’t heavy and the flavor were out of this world! Definitely will be back !

Great food and atmosphere! The crazy noodles with tofu were amazing, never had tofu cooked so well, highly suggest even for meat eaters. The chive cakes were so interesting too. The branzino was okay but probably just not my taste

One of our go to spots in manayunk. Food is always amazing. It’s byob also

I really tried to like this place given how nicely decorated it is and the relaxing ambiance. The Pad Thai was good, portion is big, and the plating looks great as well. However their special/signature dish Panang Beef was a huge let down. There are 4 gigantic pieces of beef and they are the toughest and driest beef I had. They don't even provide a knife so I'm trying to break it apart with my fork and spoon. It's difficult to swallow them as they're so dense and hard. I hope the chef can do a better job actually tasting and checking the quality of their food because there's definitely something wrong if this is what their signature dish is like

The shrimp pad thai and duck red curry were very delicious!!! Also, the thai seafood hot pot soup or po tek and the crispy vegetable spring rolls were really good too!!!
