Grandma's Philly

Came here for dinner and had a wonderful time. Nice atmosphere and an amazing staff, especially out waiter Liam. The green curry fried rice and drunken noodles were absolutely delicious. Be warned if you get a level 5 it is very spicy but still enjoyable. Definitely a favorite in my book!

The Thai food here is absolutely delicious and I'd definitely recommend it for anyone craving authentic flavors. The portions are generously sized - perfect for sharing family-style. The restaurant has a charming ambiance with cute decorative fake trees that add to the atmosphere. Crab rangoons are an absolute must and are delicious. However, there were some service issues during our visit. Food came out sporadically rather than together, which meant our table of six waited 15-20 minutes for everyone to receive their meals. Water refills were also inconsistent throughout the meal. The old fashioned cocktails weren't a hit with our group - the mix they use didn't quite work for our taste preferences. Despite the service delays and drink issues, I'd still recommend this place for the quality of the food. Just come prepared to wait a bit and you'll be rewarded with some really delicious Thai cuisine.

Absolutely five stars! The food here is outstanding—especially the chef’s special on Wednesdays: the giant fried fish. The fish is incredibly fresh with perfectly crispy skin, served with a ginger sweet and sour sauce and wrapped in juicy lettuce, accompanied by a side of vibrant mango salad. I had it over 12 hours ago and I’m still drooling just thinking about it. Other dishes like the sour soup, papaya salad, and mango sticky rice are also full of flavor. The service is excellent—our waiter, Vladimir, and the rest of the staff were professional and attentive. The restaurant itself is clean and beautifully decorated. I’ll definitely be coming back for that fish!

Well, let me start by saying—it was an hour wait just to get in. But good things come to those who wait, right? Once we got inside, the decor was warm and inviting, and the staff? Super courteous and welcoming. It was a bit loud and compact, but honestly, that just added to the energy. We knew something special was coming. We were seated and quickly ordered a mango drink—it came out fast, cold, and refreshing. Soon after, the waiter took our order. I went with the duck in red curry, and yes, it came with a side of rice (God knows I love rice). While waiting, we tried the lychee drink—super good and surprisingly strong! When my food arrived, it was hot—and I mean hot 🔥. The duck was succulent, soft, and packed with flavor. Absolutely no regrets. I’ve officially found another Thai spot I love. Grandma Philly lived up to the hype, and yes, I will definitely be going back.

Celebrated my bffs birthday and we honestly had a blast. Vlad’s service was nothing short of SUPERB. He was attentive, efficient, kind and very knowledgeable about menu items. He took care of our party of 8 with such finesse. The food was delicious, but the service made the meal unforgettable. Vlad we’ll be back because of you 🫶🏾

Food was so yummy!! Very nice portions for the price. Service was okay, but it was a busy night. If they had bigger water glasses and it wouldn’t require the server to come back so much, especially since the space is small overall. The interior is very cute. One complaint, the bathroom floor was very wet by the sink - not sure if it was a water leaking problem or previous occupant oops.

Awesome Thai spot in center city. Great portion sizes and super delicious food. Chicken satay skewers were very good, 3 good sized skewers with a nice peanut sauce. Larb salad was very funky and spicy. Great Tom Yum noodle soup, very flavorful. Really enjoyed the pork dumplings and chive cakes as well. Highly recommend.

This place has a fantastic atmosphere! The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors that truly captured the essence of Thai cuisine. The drinks were excellent, especially the cocktails. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service.

Exceptional and authentic Thai food in a small, inviting downtown Philly space. We sat at the bar which hosts ~8 seats and had a nice bartender who served our drinks quickly and had lots of great menu recommendations. We had the Calamari and Curry Puff appetizers. Both were really good and the Curry Puffs were the standout winner for me - Calamari was my friends fav. The Curry Puffs were packed with so much flavor, super flaky exterior and so fragrant. They were served with quick pickled veg / peppers and definitely a 'if i was stranded on a desert island' food pick. I had the Drunken Noodles at spice level 3 which was a perfect amount of heat as we had a night of drinking ahead of us!

Maybe my fave in Philly? Yes....i have been to Kalaya lol. This is just good standard thai food. Quality is always good, though sometimes the noodles are overcooked. Cannot go wrong with this place.

Hosted a work dinner at Grandma's Philly and everything was outstanding from the ambiance (such cute pink flower petal lights) to the excellent service to the delicious dish after dish, I highly recommend! I had tried to come with friends during winter and a snowstorm prevented us from going so this was a long awaited visit and I was not disappointed! appetizer/small plates: - Pork spring rolls - 5/5 - Veggie spring rolls - 3/5 (I didn't try them but a friend said she was sad she didn't have a pork one instead) - Tofu satay skewer - 5/5, never had tofu ones before but these were large fried tofu pieces with delicious satay sauce (which I then used to dress the bed of greens underneath as a small salad side) - Shrimp satay skewers - 5/5, I've never had shrimp skewers before and several of us agreed this was one of the best dishes of the night! - Northern Thai sausage - 5/5, I've never had this before and everyone thought this was one of the best dishes of the night salad: - Grandma's salad with chicken - 5/5, bed of shredded cabbage with spicy chicken pieces mixed in, less a salad than a chicken dish but still yummy - Grandma's salad with tofu - 5/5 large dishes - red curry with duck (Monday special) - 5/5, crispy pieces of duck and broccoli in a mild red curry with rice. Very large portion - many pieces of duck - pad see ew with shrimp - 5/5, very wide flat noodles and tasty shrimp, I would go back just for this dish so I could eat more - pineapple fried rice - 5/5, I'm usually not one for pineapple in my main dish but this was delicious - spicy garlic eggplant with tofu - 5/5 dessert - coconut cream cake - 4/5, had large slices of real fresh coconut which was interesting and unexpected from a texture perspective - fried banana with ice cream - 5/5, I've never had a fried banana in a spring roll before, and this one came topped with a chocolate drizzle and ice cream, super yummy - mango sticky rice - 4/5, i've had better in other places and while the presentation was beautiful (swirled thin slices of mango around bed of green (pandan?) sticky rice with black sesames, the mango slices each had a layer of green unripe mango which matched the green sticky rice but was a hassle to eat (to cut off green edge) I highly recommend Grandma's Philly for Thai food - i can't wait to go back!

I didn't think this was a Thai place when I looked up the name. It's small plates and shareable plates. We had the drunken noodles, curry puffs, Northern Thai sausage and spring rolls. Everything was delicious and really enjoyed the curry puffs. The ambiance is good and the service was good until our waiter left for your day. No one really took over and I needed more water but no one refilled it. We also needed containers for our leftover food and our check and again we didn't know who our replacement waiter.

The decor and service were top notch. I wasn't in love with the menu selection, but those who want to mix it up with various tapas it may be a delightful change of pace. They had items like meatballs and thai basil etc. We tried the curry dishes, very generous sizes.

Incredible food, but shockingly poor service from Vladimir. I wanted to love everything about Grandma's Philly -- and to be fair, the food is absolutely incredible. Every dish was full of rich, authentic flavor and the dining area is beautiful. Unfortunately, the experience was soured by the service. The server was consistently rude, dismissive, and short with us throughout the meal. When we asked questions, he stared at us without responding or gave curt replies that felt unnecessarily hostile & passive aggressive. He made a huge fuss about splitting the check after we politely asked, and spoke to us in a tone that made the entire table uncomfortable. There was no warmth or kindness -- just an attitude that made us feel unwelcome. I genuinely hope this is addressed, because the food deserves better representation. I'd love to come back, but not if this kind of service is the norm.

This place was such a great find! I booked a table last minute and we were lucky to get a cozy corner seat. The ambiance was calm and relaxing. Dinner was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the drunken noodles and the Tom Yum soup. Both dishes were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I would absolutely come back again. Great food, great vibe, and surprisingly easy to get into even on short notice!

I had the pad thai with chicken and a spiciness level of 4/5 (option for takeout). I thought it was quite tasty and the perfect amount of spicy for me. I also had the Sriracha wings on the side which were pleasantly juicy and the sauce was great. Overall, I enjoyed my food and it was ready promptly after ordering online.

Grandma's Billy is very highly rated and with good reason. The restaurant has a couple of really great instagrammable spots and the staff was pretty helpful and kind. I got the Khao Soi and was very happy with it. The chicken was tender, great noodles, and good spiciness. For most people a 2 is more than spicy enough! I would have been done for had I gone 3 or higher I'd been done for so great save by the server! I loved that the restaurant had great decor and had The Last Airbender playing on the wall with subtitles. Pretty fun, chill vibe.

Great staff in this super cute Thai restaurant that we stumbled past Nice menu with a little of everything portions are great for sharing Has the Thai basil veg and shrimp and the pad Thai with shrimp Sauces were excellent and authentic The place was packed and we were lucky to get a table without a reservation.

I had been wanting to try Grandma's Philly since moving to the city a year ago. I finally came in and got to try it this weekend. I had a good experience and would come back. I tried the Mee Krob with tofu and shrimp. It was delicious, I just wish it had less sauce. My friend had the thai basil chicken and enjoy her fish. We both had mocktails which were nice balances of fruit juice and not being super sweet. The prices were a bit steep compared to most small restaurants in the area, so I was surprised at the pricing for Philly Asian food. Also, the wait times for food and also for our check and having empty cups when needing refills was not expected when there seemed to be enough people in the restaurant working to check in on us more often. The decor was very pretty and cute inside. It's a good spot for a Thai meal when in center city.

Cozy restaurant very conveniently situated . We fortunately went for an early dinner because by the time we left the restaurant was very full. Our server was very attentive. We shared shrimp on skewers with a flavorful peanut dipping sauce and a roti type bread. The other dish was A spicy seafood mix loaded with mussels,shrimp, squid, peppers and a wonderfully spicy sauce. I felt that the spices were hot but well balanced and delicious. It was a pleasant experience.

This is a fun spot to try lots of different Thai foods. Their portions are pretty big, and their prices reflect this. I would definitely recommend sharing things because each dish seems to be way more than what one person can eat. The staff are friendly, and the interior is cozy and inviting. Thai tea: a bit too sweet Thai papaya salad: good appetizer Chicken satay skewers: liked the peanut sauce, but the meat was not as tender as expected Crispy Pork Belly: soo flavorful, loved it Khao Soi - Curry Noodles: HUGE bowl of noodles, the soup tastes so good

This place serves the best Thai food I've ever had! The ambiance is modern and perfect for photos. The presentation of the food is excellent. Highly recommend trying their signature dishes!

Ordered on Uber Eats as the prices were similar to the menu provided online (usually there is a markup on delivery services). However, if I were dining, I would find the prices to be on the more expensive side for Thai food. This was my first time trying Ordered khao soi, pad kee mao and spicy pork belly. Good packaging and decent portions, besides the pork belly which felt very lacking. Pork belly goes well with rice, some of the pieces that didn't have much fat were dry but with the fat tasted good. Pad kee mao flavor is very unusual from ones I've had in the past and I wasn't a huge fan. Much more emphasis on a tomato-y flavor than soy sauce and thai basil. Khao soi was standard, nothing special

Great service and very helpful, friendly staffs. The restaurant was cute but the music was a bit loud. We couldn't hear each other so we can't talk over dinner. However, the good foods and great service made up for that. We came in as a large group and the restaurant accommodated all of us. Most memorable foods were, panang curry, the crispy pork fried rice, crab fried rice, papaya salad. The fried rice was so good we ordered extra. My girls love the fried calamari. Pricing is fair which makes the experience more pleasant. We will definitely come back.

Ate for dinner on 3/13 around 9:00 pm. It was only 3/4 full inside. Service was okay. We did have to flag our waiter down to order. The waiter was nice on cleaning our table for us when it was dirty. We ordered the chicken pad thai and the beef panang curry. Chicken pad thai - 4/5, not too bad. Tasted a little bit more on the sweeter side, but it was good. Beef panang curry - 3/5, It was too salty for my tastes, but the beef was tender!

Got here on time for our 8pm reservation and did not get seated for another solid 20 mins. Not apologetic at all, but that is to be expected in this day and age. I guess this is karma for all the times I've pulled up late to a reservation Food-wise the appetizers were all meh including the chicken satay which I was not a fan of mostly because it was so thinly sliced that it is impossible to properly satay, the fried fish cakes which lacked flavor and frankly any sort of friedness - maybe I have become a fatso and expect everything fried to have a significant fried batter or breading encasing the entire object, and the papaya salad that was way too spicy to eat even though we ordered a mild 1 out of 5 The large plates all hit the mark though. I really enjoyed the mamasan curry with beef and the khao soi. Next time I will probably opt for the crabmeat fried rice and ask them not to put string beans in the fried rice since they really clash with the tempo of the dish - who the hell eats string beans with a spoon. Green curry was just the usual green curry from any Thai to go place Didn't have room for dessert Also I ordered a beer which came out in a bottle - they need to warn people that the beers are not on tap. Nothing worse than paying $9 for a bottle of beer except paying $15 for a bottle of beer in nyc The place is dimly lit and there is a projector on the wall giving me Charlie was a Sinner vibes

I did not expect the decor in Grandma's to be so cute! Popped In For happy hour and it was not busy. I ordered 1 drink ( grandma lychee ) and 1 happy hour dish ( garlic fried rice). The fried rice was so good that I had to try a few items from the regular menu. The next dish to make me smile while I ate was the Thai basil chicken! (10/10)! I also tried the spicy drunken noodles with shrimp. The noodles were wide and tender and soaked up the sauce.

The atmosphere was lively and full of charm, with lots of adorable decorations, and the restaurant was packed. Our service experience was great, our waiter was super attentive and helpful. My only real complaint is that the food didn't quite live up to the price. It wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't impress me. The fried dishes were overly greasy, and the $33 crab rice tasted pretty ordinary. The wine list was also shockingly overpriced, especially considering most bottles had screw tops. Overall, it's a cute spot for a date night or a fun outing with friends, but just know you're paying for the ambiance and prime Center City location, not outstanding food. (Edit: suffered gastro intestinal issues after eating here)

Tried the Pad Thai at Grandma's Philly and loved it! Classic stir-fried rice noodles with egg, tofu, bean sprouts, and peanuts, all brought together with a flavorful tamarind sauce. Generous portion, great taste, and cozy, Service had very welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

We went on a busy Saturday evening around 6:30pm. Despite the crowd, we were seated right away. For food, I went with the Massaman Curry and my friend had the Panang Curry. We both opted for Level 1 spiciness, though I found the Panang Curry to have a bit more of a kick than the Massaman Curry. Both dishes were packed with flavor! If I were to return, I would definitely go for a Level 2 spicy Massaman Curry to kick things up a notch. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right level of background music, not too loud, so we could still enjoy our conversation. Overall, this place continues to be my top choice for Thai food in Center City. I can't wait to return!

Comfy Thai food in Philly. We got the Khao soi curry noodles (definitely recommend!), Grandma's meatballs (honestly reminds me of IKEA meatballs but better!!), Pad kee mao drunken noodles, fried calamari, mango sticky rice. I'm a big lover of mango sticky rice but the one here is alright to me. But I would come back for their food! The inside was super cute and romantic. And service was great!

This place can be packed on weekends and came highly recommended by a friend. Take out or pick up orders should be placed well ahead of time during those busy weekend hours or you might find yourself waiting for quite a while. The pad kee mao or drunken noodles were good though they added some different vegetables in there than what I'm used to seeing in this dish from other places. Penang curry was tasty as well and comes a small serving of rice. Looking forward to coming back to try some other curries and dishes.

I've been here twice this year already! Love the cozy ambience and candles. Food is also really good and friendly to the American palate (not sure if that's a plus or minus). Really like the eggplant, crispy pork belly and pineapple fried rice! Unfortunately for the price the portions are pretty small

I've always wanted to try Grandmas and I'm glad I finally did!! Anywhere I go my go-to is the bar area and this one is small but epic in its own way! A nice large tv for everyone's view, but a nice L shape for intimate interactions and connections with the bartender and other guests. Menu options are great. I've pictured a few, even the light snack options I got were filling. I love Thai cuisine and this establishment doesn't disappoint. I went three times in one weekend when I was visiting this area. The ambiance is so cute and chic! The tables in the window where you get a great view of Walnut street and folks walking over from Sansom. The staff is also a plus, incredible! Check out Grandmas Philly if you get the chance!

I really wanted to like this place given all the stellar reviews, but my recent takeout order left me completely baffled. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao with beef. A dish that should've been a savory, spicy favorite turned out to be totally inedible. The dish had a deeply unpleasant odor, like a mix of spoiled meat and something you'd smell at a farm waste site. The attempt to taste it was no better. It was off-putting and hard to stomach. I've tried many Thai spots in the area, at least five others that consistently deliver delicious, balanced flavors, and this fell far below that standard. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was a disappointing and confusing experience. I genuinely don't understand the hype.

Booked a reservation at Grandma's Philly for a few family members who were in town as Thai food is a family favorite, and I had heard good things. The vibe and ambiance is eclectic and fun, but it feels like a bit of a small space so definitely make a recommendation ahead of time as walking in means a potentially long wait time. We tried a few different dishes, including the crispy chive, tofu satay, spring rolls, one red curry and one drunken noodles (both with tofu / veggies). The food was overall quite tasty, but it definitely depends - I really liked the chewiness of the crispy chive dish but my family member did not, and same with the tofu satay and the wide, thick rice noodles. Portions are decent-sized and this is a good, trendier spot to get some Thai food - menu has a lot of options as well. The Thai coffee also was fantastic!

This was my second time at Grandma's Philly and it was excellent once again! My friend was running a little bit late for our reservation; while I was seated and waiting, our waiter came over a couple times to check on me. I also liked how each table had a little lamp, giving me light to read my menu. If it's too bright, there's another setting to make it warmer and less bright, and the waiter did that for us. I got the green curry with squash and beef and my friend got the khao soi. We were asked to choose a spice level between 1-5. I loved the green curry - the beef was so soft and fell apart with the first chew, and the squash's lightly sweet taste was a good balance to the spicy-savoriness of the dish. I took leftovers home, and the one dish is enough for three of my meals. My friend enjoyed her khao soi and took leftovers home too. Looking forward to coming back :) Bring cash! There's a surcharge for card.

I love this place! The Thai food is amazing! I also love the atmosphere here. It's very hip, trendy, and classy. This is the first Thai restaurant I've been to that had a really nice ambiance! It was a nice change! A lot of Thai restaurants in my experience have been more hole in the walls. This is the best Thai restaurant I've been to in Philly so far! Don't let the name fool you. I initially thought it was homemade southern food based on the name haha! I was surprised to learn it was a Thai restaurant! All my friends have raved about this place too, so I had to try it! For food I ordered the pad see ew and curry puffs which were both amazing!! The curry puffs are an appetizer which are fried pastry puffs made with chicken, potato, onion, and curry inside. So delicious! Also the Thai iced tea was so yummy! I've been here a few times and everyone has ordered different dishes and they've all looked incredible. Everything on the menu also sounds amazing. I will definitely be coming back here!

From the moment I walked in, I knew this was going to be a good meal, not just because the ambiance is welcoming but because the food smelled phenomenal. We had to wait a few minutes for our table, so we went back to the bar while we waited. It's small and was crowded, but it was a Friday night. Once seated, our server answered questions and made recommendations based on food sensitivities. We got the Tom Kha soup with shrimp to start. It was velvety smooth and soooo good. Other places I've ordered it, it had more vegetables, but Grandma's just adds mushrooms, and they were all I needed. For my entree, I had the Thai Basil Shrimp. It had very good flavor and just a little heat, which is just what I wanted. (I ordered Level 1 spice.) My dining companion ordered Chicken Pad Si Ew. I don't eat chicken but did try the noodles. They were wide and doughy they way they should be and nicely flavored. This is definitely a spot I want to go back to.

Grandma's is really good, but I will say it is a bit pricey. It was really good but I am still on the search for the "best Thai" in the city. While the food was good, I did order takeout but will say that the service for takeout was excellent. Overall I would recommend you give it a try!

Mostly tasty bites from an unexpected Thai place Date night, and the misses and I came to this little place off the beaten path of Chinatown to give them a try. We figured a grandma Philly would be a comfort food place. It had meatballs, but also lots of Thai. Intrigued, we came here to give them a try. Our server was very friendly and energetic. Went over lots of items to try, and we settled on a smattering of small plates. We got the dumplings, the meatballs, the wings, some Tom yum soup, and another type of dumpling which I forget. It's a shame to, that empanada was actually really good. It was soft but flaky, with a nice spiced meat inside. The bright and sweet chutney paired well with it, and they were the highlight of the meal. The pork dumplings were the fried balls we got. Those were way too dense to be good. Wasn't bad seasoning wise but they were a little overworked. We got the sausage as a replacement. The sausage was also really good. Spicy, earthy, a little dense as well but the crisp of the natural casing and the sweet a1 style sauce was a great compliment. The soup was tasty, but not to my taste. I like a little more spice with my soup. The cream nullified any spice and the sour taste threw me off a little. The wings were not too spicy either, but I appreciate that they treated the slaw with a basic vinegar sauce to give the pallet a cleanse. It was solid bites for what we got. Not stellar, but pretty good overall. Worth a try if you are curious to try Thai tapas

Went here for a friend's birthday dinner on a Saturday night. Here are my thoughts: Atmosphere: casual, cozy Decor: sleek but homey, intimate lighting Music: alternative rock, rnb, top 40s Food: had a medley of apps (some being the curry puffs and chicken satay skewers) and for my main I had the Kad Prao Chicken. Goodness... I want the recipes to everything I ate that night. I live in NJ but would go to Philly for a night just to eat here again! Drinks: the lychee martini was made well Service: really great service! Hunter is such a cutie Good for: date night, girl's night, first date The only issue I had was that my friend did a lot of planning for her dinner (which was a large group) but upon arrival we were told that the whole party would be split between two tables that weren't near each other. The birthday girl had to walk back and forth between two tables the whole night to make sure the entire party was getting the same care.

Thai comfort food in a city life atmosphere. Right near Chinatown, this spot is nestled in a bustling area. After a long 2 hour flight... haha, we decided that Thai would never disappoint us. And it sure didn't here. This spot did it right. This spot was very... cocktails by moonlight while staring into your date's eyes kinda vibes. Plates are considered tapas 'shareable' unless you're greedy then I'd understand why- if you're dining here. Mission: eat all the goods and order more type of place. Service was great and attentive. Went on a Thursday night and wasn't too jam packed, no wait.

Food is really good ... the ambiance is a nice vibe. My fav is to sit at the bar and hang with my guy George. Awesome bartender. He will let you know what's good on the menu and help you decide with drinks too.

Host sat us at a dirty table... my friend and I came in waited to be seated. Once they noticed us the host grabbed a couple of menus. The table she chose for us was by the window. Where a recent customer just used and left. That table still had the check book because it hadn't been bussed. The host grabbed the check book and took the utensils from the clean table near by and placed it on the table where we were going to be seated. She didn't say anything to me and my friend that it was the table we were going to be sat to. We assumed so since she just left the dirty menus there. Unfortunately, the tables never got cleaned and I noticed that this was the host's cycle. When the guests leave she doesn't clean it. Since there was another table that left and she picked up the cups and didn't clean the table. However, the food was pretty good. I liked the drunken noodles and they were delicious. We also got spring rolls which I enjoyed a lot. Over all the cleanliness is the biggest issue here since it should be mandatory to wipe the tables after the guest leaves.

I thought I was going to give this place a lower rating due to the service (slow and unattentive staff), but baby, the food made up for it! Probably top 3 pad Thai I've ever had (and I've had my share). It was perfect in every way. I got it with chicken and even asked for crispy pork belly.... That thing was so good! I started with a papaya salad which was the perfect starter before the main show! I highly highly recommend this place-- everything looked soo good, and by the expression of others after taking their first bite, I know it we! Granny is back there doing the damn thing!

I've never been inside of Grandma's but ordered DoorDash for the second time last night and WOW. Incredibly delicious Thai option east of Broad. Curry puff: MUST must must order. So tender and delicious with a sweet dipping sauce and fried to perfection. Great crunch while still being soft and comforting even with transit time. I work of art, so to speak. Thai pork dumplings: these are deep fried and a little odd but still very tasty. More like a deep fried meatball than anything, but again the hoisin dipping sauce did not come to play and these were a good addition to the meal. Might not order again in favor of spring rolls or satay. Pad si ew: I've also gotten the drunken noodles from here and this might be my new go to. Well-coated and filled with tender veggies. The beef in this is what really set it apart. Cooked to perfection and not the sometimes tough mouth feel you get from other Thai spots in town. Massaman curry: Yes. Could have ordered a little spicier than I did and it still would have been delicious. The ultimate comfort food. Maybe they just didn't include it, but this fish DOES NOT come with rice and you need to add it to your order for take out or delivery, which I think is wild but not enough to dock a star. Most dishes are a few dollars more than other spots but I think it's worth it for the quality. Looking forward to the next time I get to order!

Good in a pinch but not the best. Small portions and the papaya salad wasn't super flavorful.

Absolutely fantastic food. Super tasty and flavorful, but I have some issues with the service. For apps we got the Thai papaya salad and that was good. For mains we got the pad kee mao with tofu, pineapple fried rice and green curry. All 3 were so good and tasty! One of the best Thai food. Now to the service - I added my name on to the waitlist which showed a wait time of 5 minutes. We ran to the restaurant only to find out that the wait was 45 minutes long. I asked the server about the 5 min wait time on my phone and she told me it's automatic and they have no control over what the online list shows. It was quite ridiculous considering I ran and tried reaching there and she couldn't accommodate us. We got a reservation later and went back for dinner after 45 minutes. So my advice is to not go my the waitlist online and always book an online reservation.

Red Flag #1 - When we got sat at our table, my sister who has a severe gluten allergy inquired about the gluten free menu that was online. Our server said that there was no printed gluten free menu, but that he "knew in his brain what was gluten free". Ok fine we can overlook that since it is online and he seemed trusting enough. Red Flag #2 - it took 20 minutes for our server to come to our table. Please note he only came because we got up to ask the hostess to switch to the bar because of a wobbly table. He fixed the table for us, so we stayed. Red Flag #3 - we placed an order for a beer and a lychee martini. Please note that he didn't write any of the drink and food orders down, which is always worrisome. I got my beer in approximately 5 minutes. About 15 minutes later, we still had no sign of a lychee martini. We got our server's attention and asked politely where it was. He said "oh the bartender is making it now". WRONG. Immediately after, he ran behind the bar and made the lychee martini. Why didn't he just own up to making a mistake and apologize? Red Flag #4: Our entrees came out before the appetizer. When I asked if our appetizer (shrimp satay) was coming out, he said "you didn't order it?". I said "yes I did". No apology or anything. He said "it'll be right out". The shrimp was brought out probably 10 minutes later and he walked by asking how it was. I replied it's great, thank you! He "apologized" and ignorantly said "oh yeah now I remember you ordering it". This server was a tall man with glasses. I was unable to catch his name. His arrogance is what turned me off to this place. The food was 10/10, but our server thinking he knew everything made me reduce my rating. Everyone else who worked at the restaurant was so sweet and hospitable. I'm not one to ever complain about service, as I am empathetic to hospitality workers, however, his level of cockiness made me write this. Meal ordered: Curry Noodles & Crispy Fried Pork Belly 10/10!

Delicious Thai food, friendly service, lovely decorations and ample portions! We went around lunch and was not too crowded! We got the puffs, the papaya salad which we got the chilis on the side and the curry noodles along with the beef basil dish. Level 3 spicy and could have been spicier! Great place and I can't wait to come back!

Usually I'm wary about places with so much hype, but Grandma's Philly really deserves it! My friends and I had a wonderful time here. The restaurant is super cute, the service was quick and friendly, and the food was delicious. For appetizers, we ordered grandmas meatballs and the curry puffs. We appreciated how each had such a unique flavor. For entrees, we did a family style assortment of pad si ew, crispy pork belly, spicy basil stir fry and the spicy garlic eggplant. My favorite had to be their pad si ew which was super flavorful with noodles that had amazing texture. My only complaint would be that we couldn't adjust the sweetness of the Thai tea, and it did taste too sweet for me. You get to pick the spice level between 1-5 and 2 was honestly quite spicy for my group! Overall, loved this place and would highly recommend it!

The food and drinks were delicious. I didn't get to take pictures but we also had the pad Thai, beef green curry, crab fried rice, and drunken noodles. The crab fried rice was the star of the show. Even though the restaurant was really busy and booked our food came pretty fast. I did feel like they were rushing us to leave because they were so booked (graduation week). Also, they told us they were out of dessert which is disappointing since we really wanted to try the mango sticky rice. I would definitely come here again on a less busy day.

The curry puffs are definitely a favorite with my family. I've been to the establishment a couple of times so far. The Thai slaw is good. The sautéed squid dish is tasty as well. The Penang curry taste is pretty spot on but disappointedly there's hardly any protein in it. Even when I asked if we could have extra chicken in our Penang curry, there was very little. The restaurant was decorated nicely. The added TV screens seem to be more of an intrusion than anything. Without the TV screens, I think the vibe could've been more upscale and nicer. The service was not bad, although my waiter did not ask how we liked our food. I will be back, but I'm definitely gonna try other places first when it comes to Thai food.

You have to try this wonderful spot in Philly. Grandmas Philly was everything and more. Went on a Friday night and it is clearly the place to be. It was packed and pickup orders were continuous for the entire time I was there. Ambiance is gorgeous, service was top notch (thanks Hunter) and food was to die for. Came for restaurant week and had a blast. Had papaya salad, duck curry, fried banana with ice cream, crab ragoons, crab rice. Everything was delicious. My absolute favorite was the duck with the papaya salad second. Everything was delicious. I ordered massaman chicken curry and chicken drunken noodles to take home - everything was bursting with flavor. Portions were a good size and I was full after leaving the restaurant. I will be coming back very soon!

I ordered the green curry here and was absolutely delighted. The food is spot on and one plate is shareable for at least 2-3 people. The heat level is excellent and the staff are friendly, thoughtful, and efficient. On a very crowded night, you can sit outside or take your food to go. Either way, you won't be disappointed. The praise for this restaurant is well deserved. I will definitely be back when I am in Philly again.

When they first opened: amazing. Food was priced well and tasted delicious, staff were friendly and the overall experience was worth it for a new restaurant in Philly. Now: expensive, overcrowded and wait times for anything were far too long. Food quality is still pretty consistent. The restaurant is too loud for a dinner service and the staff feel stressed out and disorganized. Overall, it's a shame and it feels like it's on a downhill path :/
