Chatayee Thai - Philadelphia

This is the best Thai restaurant I have found since moving to the area. The chicken satay was cooked perfectly and had a delicious charred flavor. The peanut sauce had a gradual build of flavor with a mild heat, making it the best I have ever tried. The tofu pad Thai was cooked perfectly, and we added some chicken satay (dipped in peanut sauce) to enhance the dish. Make sure to have some lime on hand or order extra, as it adds the perfect touch with its citrusy flavor.

The papaya salad at this restaurant is sometimes spicy, sometimes not. The Pad ke mao was disappointing as the shrimp was overcooked. This used to be my favorite Thai restaurant in the city, but the staff's behavior was unacceptable. When I mentioned that my fiancé was in the hospital and I needed to leave urgently, they were unhelpful and delayed my departure despite knowing the emergency situation. They even had trouble processing my payment and argued with me when I tried to explain the urgency of the situation. This experience was traumatic and I will not be returning to this restaurant. I will also be informing all my friends about the lack of empathy and moral principles displayed by the staff during this emergency situation.

The Pad Thai was too dry! The noodles were clumped together so tightly that I ended up breaking my chopsticks while trying to separate them. The tea was decent and the chicken satay was tasty, as well as the Po pai koog.

Ive eaten here both at home and the restaurant and let me say I cant tell the difference in quality and taste! I am always so pleased when I taste the food and it genuinely leaves you happy because they really do put there foot in the food. If youve hesitated youre wasting your own time. Cant wait to eat here in the near future : .

Pad cha came with tofu instead of pork belly like what was ordered. thang wa was missing.
