Circles Thai South Philly

Everytime I have ordered from this place the food has been fresh, hot, and delicious. I love the papaya salad, I recommend mild sometimes they are heavy with spice lol, also the red curry is delicious. The veggie spring rolls are amazing and the crab pad Thai is so yummy! They give a great portion and huge lumps of crab meat. Totally recommend trying!

i've gotten food here a couple times and it's SO good, some of the best thai food i've had. i got their pad thai both times and it's amazing, it's super garlicky and peanut-y and the fried tofu is so crispy even after i microwaved it. the place is tiny and i was greeted so warmly by the staff! i'm so glad to have a place like this in my neighborhood

LOVE this place, order take outs all the time. Favorite item is fried tofu, it always comes so crispy and just perfect. Some other dishes like pineapple fried rice and stir fries are really good too!

I used to LOVE circles Thai. The first time they forgot the protein (tofu), fine. $2 refund whatever. But the second time when I give you the benefit of the doubt and order again? After years of ordering from you? This meal is worthless. A big bowl of greasy rice. I took off another star because when I called, it WAS on them, it was not a tech glitch and they didn’t offer any way to fix it. They will “talk to the chef.” I live three blocks away, could have delivered some stupid tofu. Shame, I loved this place for years. Throwing out the grease bowl. Disappointed above and beyond.

Took down a star due to broccoli was SO huge and still tasted raw. Great portion and level ‘hot’ is VERY spicy, I’d get medium next time.

Sunday night munchies hit us, my partner and I were in the mood for Pad Thai. We scrolled through Doordash and saw this one boasting 1600+ reviews and a 4 star rating-- so we decided to go safe and choose this restaurant. Not long after placing our order, we realized that we forgot to ask for utensils (I am in the middle of moving- so I had none). So I called the place up only to be told that the order has already been picked up and on its way to us. To our pleasant surprise, they not only included plastic forks but also napkins and chopsticks! Food was plentiful. We ordered two appetizers, Summer Rolls and Fried Calamari, two entrees, Pad See Ew and Pad Kee Mow, and two cans of la Croix. The taste is nothing to write home about, very typical. Although the Summer Rolls came in three, I guess we forgot to select a protein so it tasted bland and monotone with the salty peanut sauce. For what it is, it's okay, and the fact that our order arrived so quickly with nothing missing adds an extra star from me!

Criminally underrated Thai. I ordered delivery from Circles a few nights ago and I am still thinking about how delicious the red curry was. The sauce was exquisitely balanced, the vegetables were masterfully cooked, the Thai basil was flavorful, and the chicken was the MOST tender I have ever had in a curry. I seriously don't know how they did it. The calamari and duck were great too, but really the red curry was the star of the show. 5 stars on flavor and ingredient quality, delivery time was quick, order was accurate, and the price was right. From the look of the negative reviews, it sounds like Circles has been made a victim of their own excellence. I'm guessing their staff may have been a bit overwhelmed by demand and the shift to a large volume of remote ordering during the pandemic.

3.5. Take out Only. No seating. Good portions. Okay flavor. My order of spring rolls came with three large rolls. The grilled calamari salad was just okay as was the red curry. Slightly bland but pretty good.

Best Thai food around in my opinion. Always generous and delicious with the portions and the staff are always nice

Fine option for Thai takeout. Pad thai was better than most in terms of portion size. Not terribly flavorful but pretty well done and with a ton of crab. Pad see ew I preferred as I always will. This also was just okay in the flavor profile.

Order from Grubhub, absolutely nasty coconut soup!! The soup had chunks or red onion and green bell peppers I have never seen that ever! The broth was .5% coconut and the rest was water and sugar! Absolutely disgusting food! And the whole meal was nasty!!! Save your money and go elsewhere! If I could give -5 stars I would!

2.5. To put this review in context, I used to love this place. Most people I know who enjoy Thai food, loved this place. Sadly, things have deteriorated. The quality of ingredients, freshness, preparation, attention to detail, taste.....all suffering a significant decline. Perhaps current economic conditions and cost of goods plays a role, but, to be honest, the decline was happening before the recent economic upheaval. I'll be curious to see if this restaurant is still in business 6 months from now.

I don't even know where to begin with this lol I ordered from here on Uber eats and I have never had a dish look like this. It looks like a kfc bowl I ordered the massaman curry which I've ordered from other Thai restaurants and this one just looked like it was chaotic and thrown together last minute.

Spent nearly $50 cause I was too hungry to wait for Pattaya Thai Cuisine to open- should have just stayed hungry; The lemongrass soup was literally sweetened and greasy dish water. Papaya salad was Cole slaw made with sweet lemon juice instead of mayo and they put tomatoes in it! Mango sticky rice had to be made from yesterday-old mango and chewy not sticky rice. The Pad Thai might have been the only edible thing but it was missing something. Truly a waste of my money and appetite

The food is 7/10. They have good portion sizes and their service is fast and friendly.

I ordered takeout from Circles and had a good experience. I ordered several dishes to be able to eat off of for a few days. I started out with an order of Vegetable Spring Rolls which were good but pretty oily. Entrée-wise, I got the Green Curry with Tofu - I got medium spice and it was pretty spicy compared to "Mediums" at other places in the city. I also got the Eggplant Stir Fry (Mild) which was super flavorful. The portions were generous and fed me for 4 meals. All in all, a solid, reasonably priced choice for Thai takeout in South Philly!

I place my order through Uber Eats. The food came as scheduled. Summer rolls with shrimp : there are three of them in one order. Perfect balance of vermicelli and the veggies. Thai basil is the dominant flavor. For my the key of good summer roll is in the dipping sauce. It's an ok sauce My favorite Thai dessert is mango sticky rice. The sliced mango are very sweet and fresh. Unfortunately the sticky rice is very dense and missing the crucial part of the dessert : cream of coconut.

I ordered takeout from Circles a few days ago, and was impressed with how fresh the food was. I ordered the mild version of their Pad Thai with chicken because I was scared of the spice level, but it tasted like it was missing some of that tamarind flavor, so next time I'll try it with medium heat. The Crab Rangoons were a bit chewy but came with 4 large pieces and paired well with the sweet and sour sauce. Overall a great value for the price!

I was in Thailand for two weeks. I love the food there. I found a takeout close to my home. I've been there five times. Enjoyed every meal that I have gotten out of there. I feel like I'm back in Thailand.

The Pad See Ew is one of my new favorites. I chose mild spice level and the flavor was great. Generous amount of egg and overall good portion size for the price.

excellent experience! ordered takeout with four friends and we were all satisfied with out meals. generous portion sizes left great leftovers. i ate the hot chicken pad thai and can verify it is not too hot but definitely safer than the thai hot. one friend was surprised when she had no egg in her meal but realized it was probably because she ordered vegan tofu instead of regular tofu. this was a mistake on her end but be aware of this when ordering vegetarian vs vegan meals. takeout system was quick and i'd highly recommend eating here!

Finally got the courage to try "thai hot" on my Pad See Ew and it did not disappoint, I was struggling through it but it was delicious as usual. I've only ever had delivery so I can't speak on the service, but food always arrives perfect and my deliveries have always arrived early.. ps. tip those folks extra - it's rough out there

Amazing dinner tonight!! I got the chicken pad see ew and spring rolls. Everything arrived hot and was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend ordering from Circles if you live in the area!

This place used to be good. Not sure what happened. My chicken is green. Food quality went way down hill I'm disappointed

Just ordered and ate some chicken pad Thai and some buns. Delicious food and a good price. Glad to have found it since I love Thai takeout but haven't found a good and well priced spot since moving to Philly. I knocked a star off because the food is good, not great. It's above average and so it's a safe bet. I think what made it not GREAT for me was just a little lacking in flavor. I do recommend this as a takeout place, not as somewhere to take out of town friends :)

Have gotten takeout here quite a few more time during quarantine and I am changing to 5 stars. The food always comes so fast, hot, fresh, and delicious. Favorites: pad Thai, crab fried rice, crab and pork dumplings, chicken satay, red curry, Thai beef salad. All so good. I will continue ordering.

We love Circles Thai! It's our go to for delivery whenever we don't feel like cooking. Delivery is always fast and accurate. Pad Thai is a staple, but we also love their cheesesteak egg rolls, and veggie stir fry.

My regular neighborhood choice for excellent tofu pad thai and chicken satay. They deliver and are on delivery apps. Food is usually ready super quick - 15min or less

We've been ordering takeout from here for years! And for some reason I haven't done a review, Shame on me! My co workers and I consider this our go to place for Thai food. Many authentic Thai dishes, quick delivery and I haven't had one person dislike their dish. From pad Thai to pumpkin curries and their unique crab rangoons (they have a touch of curry in them, best in the city) we have enjoyed all of their food! I recently discovered that their crab rangoons pair beautifully with a red blend and I was in foodie heaven! Only thing is their prices can be on the higher side but definitely check out their lunch specials to give the place a try!

I called to make sure they could make the lemongrass soup and pad Thai vegan, and they confirmed. I placed an order on door dash and when I went in to pick it up, I asked the young man again it was vegan, and he said yes. Unfortunately, when I got home and checked the pad Thai there was eggs in it. When I called the restaurant, they said they could make another one but I had to pick it up. They have no drivers for delivery. Needless to say, very disappointing.

Honestly, only get food from them if you're willing to add on the extra protein to the curries because otherwise they won't give a whole lot except for sauce. I do really like their food and it all tastes phenomenal- legit Thai food in comparison to every other place. Just not enough food for what I pay for. I'm only a big fan of their portions for noodle dishes though! You cannot go wrong with that. Otherwise, it's a great little joint in the neighborhood.

Have been here many times and loved it, but unfortunately ordered from here last night and there was a bug in my takeout.

Amazing food. Truly a hidden gem in south philly! Prices are reasonable and the people are very kind. It's my #1 go to for takeout and have been ordering for years

Circles is my favorite Thai place in the city!! The crab rangoon is the best and the pad Thai never disappoints

Was craving pad Thai during one of the coldest nights of November so stopped here on my way home. Unfortunately no heat in the place, so best to order ahead and pick it up when it's ready instead of ordering and waiting there like I did. Place smelled heavenly, though, so it was kinda worth it. Ordered a mild chicken pad Thai since every place does spice different and I didn't wanna ruin my palate just in case. Also got the fried crab and pork dumplings (had the option of fried or steamed. Those two items with a can of soda was about $24 which felt a little on the high end but this place came recommended so I accepted it. Food was bomb. Seriously great pad Thai (in a huge portion) with a lime wedge on the side for added flavor. I probably could have used more lime. But that pad Thai was really delicious. Felt like sit-down restaurant quality and the ingredients were really fresh. Kicking myself for not ordering the shrimp one instead. Dumplings were SO good, just crispy enough and packed full of flavor. Will definitely order delivery or takeout from here again.

Okay. . Okay. ..OKAY! This place is unreal when it comes to true authenticity, Circles you have won me over with your Thai cuisine. What to expect when entering Circles? A nice cozy atmosphere, with a home like feel to it is what you'll experience. Oh and again let us not forget what else Circles offers you. Banging Thai food, pretty much Circles is on point ! Lets dive into this review before I go crazy like, Chip Kelly to the Eagles 2015 roster. Our appetizers we had gone with Crab Rangoon, along with Crab and Pork dumplings. Crab Rangoon ~ These were simply delicious with a curry cheese mixed with the crabmeat. This is a must order, plus with that sweet plum sauce they give you is pretty damn good. Crab and Pork dumplings~ Stuffed with nice healthy pieces of crab mixed with shredded pork is what you'd expect to bite into! These were pan seared to perfection, with a soy vinegrette to make anyone go crazy. AMAZEballs, this is another must order. The Main course. The meal I went with was Spicy Drunken Noodles with chicken , or better known as a Pad Kee Mow. Oh my goodness this was delicious. An ensemble of flavors that will rock your world with the perfect amount of spice. That garlic taste that is not over powering, with that basil flavor that will erupt like Mt. Vesuvius . I'm pretty sure your taste buds will be doing the "bull dance" feeling the flow with every bite. Mixed with chicken and vegetables this is perfectly blended with the right amount of spices will put a smile on your face, that and a slight moan. If you need to, you can amp up the heat factor with their house made hot peppers they offer, along with other sides. I do love a spicy kick that will intensify my experience. I almost forgot to mention while you're waiting for you meal, which is not long. They prepare your meal across the street, this is where the kitchen is located. Don't be surprised when you see the waitress coming in and out with a tray of deliciousness. You can also order take out across the street in case you are on the go. The service was great, the establishment is clean and they'll treat you right. A great BYOB joint that serves an awesome Thai Ice Tea that is refreshing while you enjoy your meal.

Food is always amazing - the Thai burrito is one of the best things I have ever eaten and will always order it

All I wanna say is there are so many good Thai restaurants in Philadelphia pass this one by trust me...delivered to the wrong house after I hour and a half of waiting then gave me the wrong food Just a fiasco...then to make it even worse who ever packed up my food for delivery must have smoked a pack of cigarettes or rolled it in an ashtray I still can't get the smell off my hands yikes stay away !

Overpriced portions, wildly inconsistent quality, and most recently a delivery driver told me they weren't carrying change when I opted for a cash payment...Circles has drastically gone downhill since I started going in 2014.

Yum. The only Thai food in Philly that DID NOT make me sick can't go wrong with their pad Thai!

This is definitely one that I would ideally give a 3.5 to rather than the 4 I settled on...but it's trending up after my order this past Friday. The Circles chain is my gf's default Thai place because she finds their Pad Thai reliable and that and appetizers are mostly what she likes to order from Thai restaurants. I tend to order curries and never don't enjoy them, but also haven't tended to be blown away by them or to come come away with strong impressions one way or the other. It had settled into my view as a safe but unremarkable Thai spot. Well we ordered with another couple over the weekend and I branched out of the "Curry" section of the menu to explore "Chef Alex Recommends." It's frankly loaded with a bunch of dishes I'm now curious about, from salmon and duck variations on Pad Thai to different curries. I opted for the Northern Kow Soi Curry and it was the best thing I've ever had from any Circles. It was an vibrant, orange-yellow sauce and the whole dish was brilliantly loaded with flavor. At the "Medium" spice level, there was a pleasant heat but nothing that walloped me on first bite or required any adjusting to dive into. In delivery form, it came as the whole braised chicken leg, edamame ravioli (!) pickled greens, onions, and crispy noodles in a main container, with the curry itself in a separate container to be poured on top. I ate it with a side of white rice. The dish would have been killer as just the chicken leg, rice, pickled greens, and curry sauce alone - it reminded me of the kind of thing that gets served in a lot of Southeast Asia as street or small restaurant food. The crispy noodles were fine, but the dish could lose them as long as you have rice on the side, IMO...maybe I'd have just preferred fewer. But then they added in those ravioli. I didn't know what to expect from Thai ravioli, but I turned out glad I had faith, because they elevated an already fantastic (and filling) dish to pretty rarefied air for me. The three or four that came with the order were a good size, wonderfully soft textured, and had just a hint of sweetness that worked nicely with the sharper flavors of the curry and greens. The dish is the reason I'm leaving this review and rounded up to 4 stars rather than down to 3. Actually, the other new thing I ordered was pretty bad, which I guess shows that I value a great dish over a poor one in deciding my ratings. It also helped that the bad dish was an appetizer. But no way around it, the Crispy Tofu was as bland and unsatisfying as people who don't eat tofu are always assuming it's going to be. The portion size was good, but there was no way I had any interest in even coming close to finishing the little fried triangles - they were as flavorless as it gets, and the sweet chili sauce was in no way up to the task of making them interesting or enjoyable. Where apps are concerned, I think I'll be sticking with...well, just about any of the other items in the "Starters" menu, because most of the rolls, dumplings, satays, etc I've had over the years are good. But oh boy, I will be steering clear of that Crispy Tofu going forward. My cumulative experiences with Circles have probably come out to just "above average" but after they knocked that Kow Soi Curry out of the park like on my latest order, I have a whole new reservoir of optimism about continuing to explore the menu that actually has me excited for my next Circles meal.

This was hands down the best delivery experience I've ever had and one of the best meals I've had in philly. The general Thai chicken is incredible. Chicken satay and seitan satay is awesome too. Pad Thai was perfect. I highly recommend this spot. Pineapple fried rice the last time we ordered was also fantastic. Only thing that was disappointing was the crab Rangoon that had way too much of a curry flavor. The general Thai chicken is so good they deserve 5 stars!

Circles is a cozy Thai restaurant located in what I felt was far from city life. We ordered quite a few items of the menu and they were extremely flexible modifying food to our needs. The servers were friendly and the food was delicious. Much different than California Thai, but still so yummy! I recommend anyone to try this restaurant!

This is my go to spot for Thai takeout. I've always picked my food up and it's always hot and fresh. During quarantine I've gotten my food delivered twice and I received it in a timely manner and it was good as expected both times. The food is always flavorful and consistent. My only peev is the price of the curries, in my opinion they are a little pricey and to add a protein it is extra. Overall, I recommend this place for tasty Thai food.

I used to frequent this place and lived next door before it turned into a Thai food take out spot! And let me tell you, it's a great addition to the developing community. Food- pad saew- generous portion. Flavors were so good, not too "soy saucy" with a lot of beef! So damn good Crab Rangoon- filled with an interesting gathering of flavors and textures from creamy cream cheese to crunchy perfectly fried doughy crust to an interesting kick of Indian curry flavors. Quite interesting. Great appetizer if you aren't too choosy about your Rangoons. It was surprisingly good and worked! Vegetable stir fry in peanut sauce- i was a bit skeptical because peanut sauce and veggies? There's no way their sauce is that great.. BUT I was surely wrong! I ordered this for my sister n had to sneak a taste.. I couldn't stop eating after the first bite! LOL. This dish is so delicious and yes, their peanut sauce is that damn good. Unsure of what else the peanut sauce consisted of but it wasn't overpowering or thick like the peanut sauce we use for summer rolls. Summer rolls- vegetable rolls I ordered and they were regular rolls. Very good and healthy! Definitely give it a try here!

We love Circles! We've been fans ever since they opened this original location. We now just stop by for takeout because unfortunately the dining area has closed which is a true shame as Point Breeze is really booming and will continue to do so. My kids beg for Circles!!! The tofu corn fritters are their favorite. They can really house those suckers!! They are incredible! Fried golden goodness filled with creamy tofu, oozing cheese and corn. They come with what looks like a duck sauce for dipping with a chunk of lump crab in it. You MUST try them! Even if you're not a fan of tofu, do it!!! Do It! We have never been disappointed by Circles. I'm pretty sure between my entire family we have had every single dish on the menu. No joke. My brother who lives in Thailand for several years gives it the thumbs up so that says something. Personally, as a vegan, I drool over the seitan burrito!! Oh my goodness I'm craving it now. Literally drooling. It's huge, inexpensive and delicious!!! Grilled seitan, curry rice, and edamame puree with seasonal greens! It's incredible. It's also a zillion calories I'm sure, but definitely worth the extra dance class needed to burn it off! Their pumpkin curry is another favorite! It's not the prettiest dish, but it sure is tasty! A must try especially in cooler weather!! The massaman and pineapple currys are great too. The eggplant is yummy as is the vegan salad and summer rolls. The papaya salad does have fish sauce. They once made it for me without however. Can't hurt to ask. We all highly recommend Circles! You can't go wrong with any dish! Make sure to leave some room for mango sticky rice! I personally like this location better than Northern Liberties. The food is ready fast and they do deliver!

I like spicy food a lot, so I got some takeout from Circles Thai restaurant in South Philly. When I think of hot peppers, Thai chili peppers come in mind. I ordered the Thai rolls for my starter, they are stuffed with minced pork, black mushrooms, cabbage and carrots,. Wrapped in rice paper and fried. They come with a tasty sweet, vinegar dipping sauce and the were delicious! Crispy and tightly wrapped, it was almost like eating a juicy sausage. For my entree I got the Thai red curry with chicken. The dish included sliced chicken breast, red and green peppers, bamboo shoots, Thai basil and a super delicious curry sauce overflowing with coconut milk flavor. The dish was great, just as I expected and I can't wait to come back. Circles offers 3 heat levels to choose from, mild, hot and Thai hot. I chose hot because even though I love spicy food, I know I cannot hang with people who live in a "pepper culture". I remember eating a a Thai restaurant once and there was a Thai family eating near me. They had a baby with them that was crying loudly. The mother pick out a small chili pepper from her plate and stuck it in the baby's mouth and the baby stopped crying immediately. Whoa. One day I had a bunch of decorative, but hot peppers that I gave to Noi, a Thai chef and friend and she gave me a few dollars. I said "what's this for?" She said it's a Thai custom that you have to give money to whoever gives you peppers. Whoa. That's why I am careful when it says "Thai hot"

Very good! Basically a Thai kitchen that makes and delivers orders. You can pick it up if you're in the neighborhood.

After deciding what to eat (always a dilemma!) I placed my order of Thai Putty Noodles ($13.00) and Thai coffee ($3.00) for delivery, and it took about 60 minutes for it to be delivered. It's sort of astonishing how few simple ingredients--basically egg noodles, bok choy, and chicken--can mingle with smooth peanut butter sauce to create a sophisticated dish like Thai Peanutty Noodles. The portion was generous -- plenty for leftover, and it tasted good, even though I thought the peanut butter flavor was a little bit overpowering (and I love PB). Also, the Thai coffee was too sweet. I'll be ordering from Circles soon. Maybe I'll try their Pad Thai or/and Pad Woonsen. Three solid Yelps. For now!

The peanutty noodles were good. But literally no one in there was wearing a mask. Not the cashier, not the cooks. This is infuriating to see during a pandemic.

Ya'll, nobody in this restaurant is wearing masks. This spot is always decent (ish) but I def won't be back while they're not taking customer safety and health seriously. Urging everyone to stay away cause honestly that's pretty gross.

My gf and I love ordering from Circles because their food is great and their prices are quite reasonable. We ordered today and her pad thai had much more than mine (there wasn't much in mine), I called and they promptly made me a brand new order and let me keep the original order as well. That's how you do business!

I love Pat thai very delicious and also sticky rice with mango dessert , thai tea , dumplings

Not sure what I received. It was supposed to be general Thai chicken, but the sauce was brown almost tasted like what I ordered. It was gross. When the calamari said not made to order I assumed that meant the sauce. Nope they are really serving warm chewy made who knows when calamari. Take it off the menu if you can't make the food fresh for your customers. Store bought frozen calamari is better. We used to go there and order from there a lot. This is a reminder of why we stopped. Very disappointed.

Celebrating a friend's birthday week brought us to Circles & man oh man, was it ever delish! When you're only in Philly for the weekend & have nothing but cheesesteaks on the brain, the thought of straying out of the comfort-food zone for Thai doesn't come to forefront of mind But reluctantly we all agreed to head over to Circles & this was after 2 failed attempts at other locations that were closed....fate was smiling down on us! Talk about 3rd time being the charm! Best way to describe the food? Fresh.....like each ingredient had its own standout flavor & combined w/ the others to create a symphony Started out w/ the Thai Rolls - huge portion! Lightly crispy crust filled w/ lots of crunchy veggie yumminess & the peanut dipping sauce was an especially good mix Pad Thai - deemed to be the best my buddy's ever had.....ever. The duck that she chose to go w/ it? That was deemed to be a poor pairing choice Beef Curry deemed to be outstanding - beef was tender & flavorful, veggies were al dente & maintained a lot of flavor Pumpkin Curry for me! I asked for it hot as they could make it & it was fantastic.....at first, I was thinking where's the heat but the more I ate, the more the peppers had a chance to work their spicy magic & the afterkick started rushing in.....it was perfection! Pumpkin was so dense & soft & creamy - the tofu was just a bit chewy (& that's in a very good way). Made for great texture compliments! Too full for desserts but we were looking for drinkys (which you won't find here - but you can BYOB)....they kindly guided us to SPTR & it was the perfect nightcap for a wonderful Buddy B-Day!!

Been ordering from Circles for 7 or 8 years now. IT'S GREAT EVERY TIME!!! I love the pad see ew and the pumpkin curry. Thank you Circles.

I love Asian food, okay? And between myself, who waitressed at Chinese and Thai restaurants in college and my boyfriend, who studied abroad in Beijing, we eat a lot of it. A friend met me at Circles this past Friday night for dinner at 7:30. I had heard amazing things via Yelp- that it was South Philly's favorite take-out spot and the establishment had recently opened a dining room. I hopped on the bus with a half-empty bottle of wine (classy, right?) and kept my eyes peeled for Circles. The place was empty. Strange, I thought, for a Friday night. It didn't scare me though- I knew the food would be good. And boy, was it. We started with summer rolls. Three fatties stuffed with fresh ingredients and wrapped in perfectly chewy rice paper. Drunken noodles with chicken and panang curry with tofu (ordered "white girl spicy") followed shortly after. They were the BEST drunken noodles I've had in Philadelphia, hands down- chock full of veggies and not too greasy. The panang was also excellent, though I wish they used string beans instead of peas. Note: Apparently they have both fried and soft tofu, which I learned about after the fact- you can specify when you order. Suddenly it was 10pm and my friend and I were still finishing our wine. Oops! We were the ONLY customers in the restaurant for two and a half hours. I felt terrible- they could have closed early if we had left shortly after eating. The owner was super friendly and send us home with take-out menus and 15% off coupons. Go to Circles, now! We gotta keep this place open! If you're lucky enough to live in the Queen Village area, you might find a door hanger flyer with a $10 off voucher. Love those coups.
