Baan Thai Thai cuisine in Philadelphia - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The Duck Panang was amazing. Wonderful little Thai place with warm and friendly staff. Definitely will be back again!

If you find your self in Northern Liberties and your partner is a vegan then Baan Thai is the place. Wonderful flavors and a charming host

Lovely little place in NoLibs. Owner is very attentive and eager to please. Enjoyed appetizer fresh summer rolls with tofu, pineapple shrimp fried rice and duck with peanut sauce entress and beautifully served sticky coconut rice with mango for desert.

We had an amazing and delicious meal, and great conversation with the owners. We ordered the bahn thai sampler plate, the pad cashew, and the pineapple fried rice. It was all spectacular. We will be back :)

Wow...very impressive. There isn't one negative thing I can say about this restaurant from start to finish. Staff (Pum) was very responsive and actually guided us to what she thought we would want in terms of entrees based upon our likes and wants. That was personalized attention. The food came and the appetizer to the main entree was superb. The food was tasty, just enough spices and flavor. One of the best Thai places I have eaten at. The menu was broad....but lots to choose from. I know we will go back once more and enjoy other dishes here. The entire experience was positive.

What happens when you have a food allergy, such as GLUTEN, and a restaurant either doesn’t read the notes in ALL CAPS or CROSS-CONTAMINATES the food? Nearly ten (10) hours later you’re still nauseous and have made more trips to the bathroom than digits in a phone number. That is my sickening experience ordering Baan Thai Thai Cuisine through the HORRENDOUS delivery service, UBER EATS. What was ordered was Pad Thai with Chicken (that possibly contained fried tofu), garnished with 9 bean sprouts and a wedge of lime, and specified GLUTEN-FREE, both in the instructions, and dietary restrictions. The second item ordered, Pad See Ew with Pork, also specified in the instructions, and dietary restrictions as gluten free, was never eaten. It’s bad enough when you cannot trust that a restaurant understands the severity of food allergies. When you add to that placing your order through the consistently WORST food delivery service, UBER EATS, you are infuriated that a corporate culture has no concept of customer-centricity. They simply don’t care about anything than collecting your money. I don’t recommend anyone with a food allergy to order from Baan Thai. Additionally, avoid Uber Eats at all costs- both are literally sickening.

Best Thai food I've ever had in Philadelphia. Real authentic grandmas recipe deliciousness. Service very friendly and welcoming

The place was empty, overpriced, and the rice was overcooked. You gotta step the food up if you want to fill the seats.

If I could give 0 stars I would. NO FLAVOR soup with filled with WATER to the RIM. FLAVORLESS! No salt was used whatsoever! 🤮. I tried adding my own spices to it and it still didn’t help to add flavor to this! Wasted my money on this! And the so called HOMEMADE ICE CREAM is soggy with ice. (For reference it’s not formed like regular ice cream) picture taking ice cream out of a freezer that does not freeze items completely. NEVER AGAIN! Took a bite and found glass shreds in it!

Clean atmosphere. Very happy we found this place. The owner was kind and very helpful, and care about the food and always making sure the customers are happy! The food was delicious! Thank you for everything that you do!

This place was delicious. The staff was amazing, so friendly, giving us great suggestions on what to order. The food came out piping hot and fresh it was great. BYOB helps this be a great price point for dinner.

Authentic, not Thai like you get anywhere else!

Baan Thai is one of my absolute favorite spots in the city. Food is consistently delicious and fresh, the owners make you feel so welcomed and comfortable! The veggie dumplings, drunken noodles, spring rolls, roti, and pan fried chive dumplings are some of my favorite items and could genuinely eat it 7 days a week. Love this place and always look forward to visiting!

Love this place. Authentic and the menu has dishes I’ve been craving since a past trip to Thailand. Get any of the appetizers and rom Kha soup for sure. Any of their curry entrées are a great choice!

One of the best hidden gems in Philadelphia. We’ve eaten here multiple times and the food is always amazing and the service attentive (try the Sole with the Bok Choy or the Nam—both are out of this world). The secret menu always has something new. The owner always remembers us (and particularly our son) and makes great recommendations for new things to try. A wonderful family-owned restaurant and a must visit for sure.

The owner of this restaurant is an absolute sweetheart and the food is delicious

Disappointed by this Thai restaurant. Less than average taste and pretty expensive at the end for what it is.

Causal BYO Thai place in northern liberties. Many other dining options nearby but decided to give this place a shot for restaurant week. They were understaffed so service was a bit slow but despite that, the service was good. Food is reasonably priced and the Thai ice tea was phenomenal. Ordered the Pad Thai and it was as expected for the price, 4/5. Will certainly come by again to try other entrees.

Probably the worst thai food I’ve had in my life. I ordered delivery and this place looked promising but my yellow curry was like water. It tasted like nothing and not even adding my own spices could help. It was like flavorless soup. The vegetables inside were hard too. I can’t believe I wasted my money like this.

the restaurant with the worst food I have ever eaten. Stuuf is very rude. I don't suggest to spend your money here.

Amazing great quality Thai Food. Very friendly and they are the best place around

Top-Notch Authentic Goodness! Meat and meatless options. Chicken saté was deliciously marinated and juicy. The accompanying peanut sauce was sweet and superb. Had it with steamed rice and wanton soup because I kept it light. The rest of the party had Pad Thai (tofu) and Khao Soi. Both huge portions and tasty. Thai teas (one traditional—with lime— and one classic, more famous—with half-and-half) were delicious! Chef/owner took our order and was meticulous in respecting dietary concerns. She even made a custom wonton soup broth! That’s just unheard of. Lovely couple owns and runs the place. Friendly prices and beyond friendly staff. Eyeballing sticky rice and mangoes as well as fried bananas with ice cream for next time. Table next to us had the sweet potato “cream” puffs. Highly recommend! Definitely will be back!

This place is a hidden gem. The chef uses fresh ingredients, some from her own garden.

My fiance and I came here for dinner after an evening at the casino. I had the Moo Yang and he had the crispy duck salad (I forgot the actual name) with Angel Wings and Thai wings. Everything was perfect. The meat just fell off the bones, the angel wings has the most perfect crunch I've ever tasted and the ground chicken was flavored to perfection. The Moo Yang was grilled pork with broccoli and rice (I choose jasmine), it was marinated i believe 12 hours and cooked just so damn well and then jasmine rice went it so well. Exactly everything went with everything. Just My fiance loved the duck salad and the wings, everything tasted like it was made with such care and pride.the owner actually came out and chatted with us and she was so lovely and humble. We're from NYC but we'll definitely come back again next time we're in town.

Loved this place! So many good vegan options, i loved it. Wish i took a picture of it. An amazing BYOB option for groups as well. Thank you so much!

This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is delicious and the ambiance is inviting. The owner is a lovely person, she asked if we would serve as her culinary guinea pigs to test out new dishes that she was considering putting on the menu. (Spoiler, the experimental dishes were delicious!) She makes you feel welcome and like you matter to her as more than just a customer. That kind of personal connection is something you won’t find anywhere else, not to mention the food is top notch.

Love the place, love the chef (and owner). Can’t say enough about this place! A must to go if you want real Thai food.

This place is great. The staff is so friendly and will treat you like family. The food was delicious. Everything I had tasted great. The place was also extremely clean

You need to eat here. I don’t know what “authentic Thai cuisine” is because I’m a white girl from upstate NY, but I do know that my food tasted like a home-cooked meal made from the heart. I got the impression that the owner and her lovely family are doing it all, and I was treated warmly by all from start to finish. You’d be hard-pressed to get better food and better service for a better price. More than reasonable prices for what you get. And there’s a secret menu that you’re only offered if you eat there. So go treat yourself to this gem.

Average. Not bad, but they don’t know how to follow directions. Had a meeting & so I placed an order online to be ready at a specific time after my meeting & I get a text almost 30 mins early saying my order was ready. It was cold when I picked it up at the designated time it was supposed to be ready (one of the time options they offer on the website when ordering online).

Pum and Ray are the best. The red curry is awesome but we've loved everything we've tried!!

Got the baby bok choy with chicken. I personally wasn't a fan of the taste and just ended up throwing it all away. I'm sure they have better options though

A neighborhood gem. The seasonal menu is really good.

Clean and friendly! Absolutely outstanding meal!!! Pad See Ew, Panang Curray and Chicken Fried Rice all 5⭐️s! We were confused by the mix of 5⭐️ and few lower reviews?!? It turns out that apparently there are a couple other Bahn/Baan… Thai restaurants… so maybe that had something to do with the mix of reviews? The wife/husband (chef & owners) team checked on our table multiple times. They were happy to answer questions and tell us about their background story. Super sweet! Highly Recommend!!!

Great food and great owner! Staff was so nice, and the food was delicious. I recommend anything from the BBQ section, and the Pad Thai

I was really excited to try this restaurant with my partner. The food was decent and the staff were friendly, but we weren’t served any food for a good hour and a half. We saw many people entering and exiting the restaurant with food in hand and it seemed like takeout and delivery orders were prioritized over in-store customers. We will likely not return.

Food doesn't taste as good as it use to and the portions is smaller. The crab fried rice barely had any crab in it. The chu chee salmon is not as robust in flavor as it once was. I used to love coming here....

Terrific veggie options, perfect level of spice, lovely little dining room, and very friendly owner and staff who really go out of their way to make sure you're happy. A hidden gem--well worth the trip!

OMG !! Nice place and Delicious Thai Food

Ordered a few items from here over the phone to pick up. When I called to place the order, they were fast to answer and kind overall. They prepared my food faster than the time they had given me, so that was great. I thought the service and staff were great but unfortunately the food was just okay. I didn't find it as flavorful as other Thai restaurants I have been to locally. I think if I had dined in person, my experience may have been different. Overall, decent Thai food and friendly staff. It is slightly pricey, but what isn't now and days.

We sat outside and had a wonderful dinner last night! The chef even came out and told us about our dishes. Trio of ice cream was a perfect finish!

Food is definitely delicious and the staff is so friendly! It’s a small spot tucked away on a small street, a hidden gem. The Duck Tamarind was soooo good, I would go back for that alone! Another favorite was the crab fried rice. Highly recommend.

Food was cooked just like Thailand. It’s an authentic, tasty place in Northern Liberties

The food and service was very good. Definitely going back.

Good food and service. Love to visit again.

So grateful to have an awesome Thai place in the neighborhood. Highly recommend their red curry, delicious soups and steamed veggie dumplings. A nice plus is the friendly owner. Will definitely be back

The service was Great. The Bbq pork was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Used to be a good place, but not anymore witht he new employees

We came here this weekend for restaurant week, and the food is incredible. We were originally thinking takeout but upon entering decided to stay and are so glad we did. It's a very nice restaurant and worth a stop by for sure!

We just had a wonderful dinner at Baan Thai. The service was great and the food was prepared with a lot of care. It felt like being served a wonderful home cooked meal.

Incredible place! The food was delicious, great portions. I loved the menu variety and prices! BYOB is an extra perk. I highly recommend dining in although it seemed to be very popular for its take-out. Pum the Chef was delightful and came out to check on us and our food. We will be back!

Ate here on a Saturday night and was surprised the place wasn't packed. Really delicious soul warming Thai food. Great service and nice decor. Definitely check it out before it does blow up and you can't get a table on the weekends!

Ordered take out. I got the pad kee mao / drunken noodles and it was delicious! The noodles were a weird texture though. My boyfriend got shrimp pad thai and was underwhelmed. The shrimp were severely over cooked. I’d order again, just not the pad thai or anything with shrimp.

Went for lunch right when it open and seemed like they were backed up with a lot of take out orders and seemed that there was maybe a total of 2 people cooking and taking care of the dining room. Server was extremely nice and apologized about the delays and even offered free dessert because of the wait. Food itself was great, all veggies and meat were cooked perfectly. Will be coming back again for the great combo of food and friendly service.

Great flavors!! My new favorite Thai restaurant. Spices were on point

What a great find! Excellent food, friendly staff, and able to accommodate our group of 12! Everything we ordered was tasty.

Possibly the best Thai food I've ever had. Plenty of options for me as a vegan and the customer service was extremely friendly!

Oh man. You know what's great about Thai places? The food. You know what's not so great? How they're all carbon copies of each other. But not here at Baan Thai. This place is unique and authentic AND delicious. Highly recommend this spot if you are tired of the same specials and same sauces that seemingly every other Thai place utilizes. I like my food when it's made with care and creativity, and things you can't find elsewhere are in abundance here.

Been going to this place for over 10 years. Never disappoints, whether you’re dining in or doing take out/delivery. Always delicious and service is great. Wish they were opened on Tuesdays but what can you do 😂

I can't say enough about this restaurant! The food was delicious, the service was amazing (Pum is one of the hardest working women I have ever seen!), location was lovely, and the decor was stunning, I can't believe one woman does so much!

Gra food what an amazing service on her though this place is a jam

The appetizers are great! the thai flight was delicious fried rice is well prepared, the chef puts heart into the meals service was familiar and warm, Kiona it was a pleasure.

The food is tasty and the service was good. Got to have a great conversation with the owner and chef. Try the Thai Green Tea, delicious.

Not good service, not good food

Closed on Sunday at 1:50 strange since it's within their open hours and there's no new sign about hours for Sundays

We had a craving for Thai food on a Friday night and Baan Thai happened to be near by. The reviews and the pictures did give us some expectations. However, our food experience with the food was a disappointment. We ordered 2 kinda of stir-fried noodles, one is pad see ew and the other one is pad kee mao. The noodles were overly cooked. They looked like SMASHED NOODLES????? We should have really taken picture =(((. We were like what's going on? They added Chinese cabbage to their drunken noodle which is a strange addition and it wasn't listed in the menu. We chose beef as our choice of protein. Uhmmm...should I call it beef or beef jerky because it was dry and chewy as sh....I was hungry to a degree I thought I could finish a cow but I really couldn't finish my plate of food....Now let's move on to the mango sticky rice. Mango was not peeled properly and the coconut sauce was liquidy unexpectedly. Like the dessert looked so gorgeous in the pictures on their Google page? It felt as if they didn't have enough coconut sauce so they mixed it with water. The only good thing was the sampler appetizer. The satay chicken in the sampler was really delicious. We regretted not ordering 10 orders of those instead of the noodles. Well, it was an unforgettable experience that we would never come back. Really this was the worst Thai food experience I've ever had. I only gave review once in my life so far. It was because the food was so good and this is my second time because the food was so bad. Congratulations to those people who had good experience here.

Fantastic place, you dont want to miss! Started with the sampler. Wife got the sweet and sour dish and i had the drunken noodles. For dessert their specialty dish the logan was recommended and did not dissapoint. Very affordable for 3 courses

This place is a 5/5... Food is always, always on point, and we get this at least 3 times a month. Spice levels are great, and quality of food is superb. Love me some Baan Thai

Great food, very friendly and conscientious service, great experience overall. Would definitely come again!

Highly recommend. Food was amazing. I ordered the thai basil fried rice with duck and my girlfriend ordered the green curry with chicken. Both were delicious. I dont usually order curry, but i found myself stealing it from my girlfriend. However, when i went to the bathroom i noticed some duck missing on my plate, so she must have loved mine too. We will definitely be coming back to try all the curries, and order from home if were feeling a night in.

Place was clean, food was good, owner and chef was very cool.

Because the reviews are so good for Baan Thai Thai I decided to give it another try and was sadly disappointed. I ordered the vegetable dumplings and the red curry. It's clear they added water to their curry sauce. There was virtually no flavor at all. The dumplings, thankfully, were delicious.

service is on point. the owner took some time to hang out with us for a while. she's a sweetheart. the food was fantastic. will be my go-to asian (thai) joint when I'm in the neighborhood

Very friendly staff and delicious food! The Gai-Yang chicken was cooked to perfection. The moneybag appetizers were also very tasty. Calm and cozy atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back!

Loads of take aways . Only we were there for dine in

Food and service were top notch. The lunch special was a great deal. Just know that the kitchen closes at 2:30 for lunch. We arrived after 2, but they accommodated us with no issues.

We ate in. It's a small place, but it wasn't too crowded. Most people who came were picking up food and it looked pretty busy on a Saturday night. The food was tasty and service was good.

I had the golden wonton and green curry with chicken extra chicken. As for the wonton is was a little burnt but the center was fine. As for the green curry, I have had green curry before and this was nothing like the one before. This green curry was bland and very little heat when I requested the highest heat level and it had very little flavour. One thing I like about Thai food is the heat and this lack substantially. I was quite disappointed to say the least especially for the price I paid for everything

Best Thai food in Philadelphia!

I had the chicken curry with cashews in it and MAN it was so good. Love this place, a great go to for weeknight takeout.

I loved it here you could make just about anything on the menu vegetarian. It was pretty cheap for how big of a portion you get, and the staff was super friendly. I had called ahead of time and we got there at 9:30 and they close at 10, so it was really sweet of them to still take us.

When in philly , this is the place for thai. 13 to 21 dollars an entree. Excellent !!!!

This is one of the better Thai restaurants. Their pad Thai has three levels of Spicy. Level 3 spicy is known as Thai Spicy (Significantly more spicy than Americans are usually comfortable with). Get the level 2 spicy if you seriously enjoy spicy food. I essentially must have spicy food so my tolerance is higher than many but level 3 is crazy spicy. Get level 1 spicy if you want a slight kick. This Thai food quality Thai food I would rank the quality of the texture of the food as 3.5 out of 5 as I can tell the chef has mastered the Ingredients but not the process of the correct ratios of Oil to food. The rice dish was well cooked but has a bit more oil than necessary yet it's not overwhelming. Overall I would give this place 5 stars because they have class and care about customers.

While I have not eaten here I have ordered delivery through door dash. The food was warm and the servings portions were generous! They followed special directions and it tasted amazing. I'm definitely ordering more thai food from here

Nothing amazing but satisfied my Thai desire. We had pad Thai, yellow curry and red curry.

Excellent food, great ambiance.... love having them in the neighborhood!

Good local thai food and friendly staff. recommended

The staff here is so nice and the food is always great! They run a great lunch special during the week, I haven't been for dinner yet. Will have to try it out soon! They do a great fried rice and I've been happy with the noodle dishes I have gotten in the past. They use nice fresh ingredients and their food is spiced nicely without being too salty.

Overall pleasant experience, pad kee mao was delicious however i liked the pad see ew more. The server was very attentive and quick. One thing I’d suggest to the owner is to have music play in the background.

Los trabajadores allí fueron extremadamente groseros. Fui allí con mi hermano de 12 años y pedí un pedido para ir. Pagué luego de que la señora detrás del mostrador me informara que sería una espera de 25 minutos. Le dije que no podía esperar tanto y que si estaba bien si me quedaba a comer. Ella dijo que sí y puso una mesa. Cuando salió mi servidor, ella estaba golpeando los platos, hacia un lado. Todos en el restaurante seguían mirándola. Tuve que recogerlos y colocarlos en el medio de la mesa yo mismo. Cuando la mayor parte de mi pedido estaba fuera, el servidor se acercó a mi mesa y comenzó a decirme cosas, pero era difícil de entender debido a su fuerte acento. Finalmente entendí lo que decía porque dijo: "¿Vas a dar propina? "Respondí con" sí, lo estaba planeando ". Siguió presionando diciendo "Está bien, así que puedo traerte el cheque. "Y le dije" ¿Puedes esperar hasta que terminemos de comer? Y ella se alejó. En este punto, mi hermano menor dijo que ella estaba tratando de decir. . . "Ya que todos sus platos están fuera, ¿desea que los contenedores los lleven?" Inmediatamente me levanté y le dije a la camarera que me trajera cajas, empaqué mis cosas y me fui. Había mosquitos por todas partes y la comida no era buena. No tenía sentido empacarlos.

I've been going here for over 6years and the food is so so so amazingly.great. Evertime I go. It feels. Like my first. Time evertime

Such great food with fantastic staff.

Husband and I love this place. We go on date night or just when we are hungry and want a quick bite in our comfy clothes. They are all nice, warm welcoming, and professional.

Lo que me gusta de este lugar es que es muy personalizable. Puede elegir qué tipo de salsa, nivel de especias, verduras y carne desea en su comida. Me dieron el bambú picante con carne de res. La comida tardó un poco en salir pero era muy fresca y sabrosa. Me encantó el nivel de especias, pero también me gusta la comida picante. Si no te gusta la especia, tienen 3 niveles entre los que puedes elegir. Mis amigos piden sopa Tom Yum, nunca la había probado antes, así que me dejaron probarla. Fue tan bueno que tenía la intención de pedir que se fueran y lo olvidé.

I went here with five other people for dinner on a Sunday night. It was quiet, which was perfect because we were having book club, so it was easy to have a group conversation. The food was great, with excellent attention to detail. All the apps we got were excellent (firecrackers, spring rolls, and crab Rangoon). I had red curry, which was spicy and complex. I also tried the pad Thai, which was a little sweet. Service was fast and friendly.

Best Red Curry in town!!! The service is extremely friendly. You gotta be patient with parking though and avoid parking in residential parking areas.

The money bag appetizer was very tasty. I was not a fan of the soups but that is just personal preference. Pad woo sen was delicious and pad thai was slightly too sweet. Overall good food, I will be returning.

Incredible! One of my favorite places. Food is excellent and service is great. Last night our server was Pum. She was fun, attentive, and accommodating when we needed to move tables to fit another guest. I cant say enough good things about this.

Nice place with good service. I really enjoy my dinner.

Absolutely fantastic! The pad thai is generous and very satisfying, the duck salad is to die for! Look forward to trying more items soon!
