Everyone Loves Erawan. Go for the Drunken Noodles and Fresh Spring Rolls, stay for the Curry and Holy Basil. This place has it all. Not the cheapest in the world, but good Thai food is hard to come by in Philly. If you're on a budget, try the lunch special.…
Worst place to have deliver food to you!. We had dinner delivered and it took over an hour. When we saw our spring rolls didn't have shrimp, we weren't going to call and make a big deal, but then we opened our main dishes and they were completely wrong. Funny thing is that the receipt was correct. We called them so we could at least have our correct dishes delivered. The first girl didn't speak enough English to help. The manager ended up banning us from the restaurant rather than being accommodating and sending us our correct dishes in a timely manner. Don't order from here!…
do not use your credit card! They overcharge. Food is good. Not very spicy, though. We had a '2 pepper' hot dish that was totally mild. I suggest to use cash: they overcharged my credit card although I gave close to 20% tip. Maybe it is customary to give more than 20% tip these days? Anyway, a pretty unintelligent move considering that they cheated another dollar or so out of a $40 bill...…
Erawan Deliver By Car.
Hi,
This is responding to DOCTORCHIC experience with Erawan Thai Cuisine recently.
On slow Sunday evening, I made a delivery to doctorchic's place. As far as doctorchic's place, I made it on time.
There might be a misunderstanding of orders. The packaging person checks before it gets delivered. It sounds like the whole orders were wrong. However, that evening, we did not have any left over or mixed up orders. The call was placed after all dishes were consumed. Erawan offered a replacement & sincerely apology but that did not make Doctorchic happy.
My apologies to Doctorchic again if there was a miscommunication when placing the orders and delivery time given. We are looking forward to serving you again! If there is a concern, questions, suggestions, please feel free to email me directly at erawanphillgmail
Warm Regards,
Erawan Thai Cuisine

Is the frustration worth the food?.
That's the question you gotta ask with this place. As one of the few Thai places in CC outside of Chinatown, Erawan has great, delicious food at reasonable prices for the great quality of the
dishes. Their massaman curry in particular is excellent. The only problem is you have to pull teeth just to get it! Whether take-out of delivery, over the past 3-4 orders to this place our food has either been wrong, the hostess has basically harassed us (as said in another review) to hurry up and get your food (even if you're only a few blocks away), the "20 mins" promised wait has turned into a full hour (yes, a full hour sitting there drinking water waiting...for TAKE OUT), or worse. The last straw for us was tonight as I called and called and no one picked up the phone, only to venture down there and find an empty house with a waitress nervously lying saying it was a busy night while I watched the cooks & hostess lounging around in the back.
So in conclusion, if you can put up with alot of BS to get great food, go for it. But if you're quick to answer, go to My Thai instead.…
