You may be better off going to a Chinese restaurant. The food was not to exciting, and the ambiance was more of a fusion restaurant and less of a Thai atmosphere. But then again I think like a Chef and I cook like one too so I know little :)

  • Pros: BYOB
  • Cons: Parking is tough around there, will have to most likely pay for it.

This restraunt has wonderful Thai food! The food is dynamic and authentic. Irecently moved from the West Coast, and this restraunt is the closest to what I have come to expect in good Thai food.

Warning. Mild spice is more spicy than most restraunts' HOT. spice

It is hard for me to say that I like the food in a Thai restaurant if it is not made the way my mother used to make it when I was growing up. I loved this restaurant and the food was absolutely wonderful. The fried rice made with real lump crab meat was a treat. The decor reminded me of home and the staff was quite polite. I would highly recommend this little Manayunk BYOB over any other restaurant on Main Street.

  • Pros: Reasonable prices, Quality food, Quick Service

It is hard to determine which was better, the authentic Thai food or the authentic Thai decor. This two-floored BYOB is easily the best Thai restaurant in Philadelphia or the Main Line. It's a beautiful space to dine, especially with the photo installation reminiscent of the homeland along the walls. Even the table and silverware are from Thailand. With an exotic menu, reasonable pricing and an oustanding chef, this new Main St. Manayunk bistro is perfect for couples or small groups to get together for an outstanding meal. I highly recommend the Pad Thai.

  • Pros: Authentic Cuisine, Beautiful Decor, BYOB
  • Cons: Street Parkings Tough

Chabaa has really great Thai food at a very reasonable price. So far, I have been there three times and the food has been outstanding. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. The last time I was there, the owner recognized me and my friend from coming in, and she brought us out free dessert!! Also, BYOB in manayunk is a great bonus! The decor is authentic and very relaxing...and even though the downstairs is small, it is great for people watching along main street. Plus, there is outside seating for the warmmer months. I highly recommend this place~

  • Pros: food, atmosphere, price
  • Cons: parking

This place is the real deal. Amazing thai food for a really great value and it's even BYOB. The downstairs is pretty cozy (read: small) but it's more intimate than it is claustrophobic and they push table together for groups. So far I've been there twice with my girlfriends but this would be an excellent place for a date. The entrees are all reasonably priced and well portioned- not too much, but very satisfying, and everything we've ordered has been outstanding. The aps are pretty cheap, but they're small, so don't think 1 $5 order of spring rolls is going to cut it for a table of 4, or even 3. The service is prompt but relaxed, friendly and accommodating, but not annoyingly intrusive. I will definitely be a regular here.

  • Pros: value, great food, byob
  • Cons: parking
