Ratchada Thai & Laos Cuisine

I love a good Thai place. I give this place an 8 out 10. The food was perfect, the spice level we selected “medium” was the perfect spice level for my husband and I. Parking can be a bit difficult(street parking) it is Philly, there is a mini parking lot across the street that can be used if not already filled.

This spot is an absolute gem. The food was INCREDIBLE and the atmosphere was extremely cozy. My partner and I got red curry and khao soi and everything was flavorful, hot, and delicious. We really appreciated the lighting and beautiful textile art all over the restaurant. Extensive menu with tons of vegetarian and vegan options. The servers were extremely kind and quick. New favorite spot in the neighborhood and I only wish we had gone sooner.

We saw a reddit recommendation for this place and so glad we went! We went after the lunch rush and didn’t have to wait for a table. The drunken noodles were yummy. It had the “wok” flavor we love and the addition of spice was a nice touch. We also got the Penang curry which was also very good. We’d definitely add this spot to the regular rotation if we lived in Philly.

This place deserves to be the best Thai place in Philly in my life so far. They have the most authentic Thai&Lao menu and vibe. The service was perfect, lemon water, and strong spices. I truly can’t find any flaw, except for the slightly fancy price. But I didn’t regret to pay at all. More than worth trying if you like southeast Asian food.

Ordered the lao platter on uber eats and left a note asking for xxxx spicy thum. With 20+ peppers and not a single pepper was present. The rest of the food was pretty good but the thum mak hoong was what I wanted the most.
