Grandma's Philly

First time at Grandma’s Philly Thai and it was a clear 5-star experience. We ordered Grandma’s meatballs, the crispy pork stir-fry with rice, and the Pad Cha Talay spicy seafood. Every dish came out hot, well-seasoned, and balanced – crispy pork with real crunch but still tender inside, rich and flavorful meatballs with just the right amount of sauce, and the seafood stir-fry packed with shrimp, calamari, and fish, all cooked perfectly, not rubbery. Portions were solid and plating actually looked as good as it tasted. Our server, Dominic, ran the whole night smoothly. She knew the menu, gave accurate descriptions of the spice levels, timed everything so the table never felt rushed or waiting, and checked in just enough without hovering. Drinks stayed full, plates were cleared quickly, and he stayed calm and professional even while the place was busy. If you like Thai food with real flavor and competent service, this spot delivers. Dominic and the kitchen both did their jobs at a high level, and I’d come back and order the same dishes again.

Back in Philly for work and this was a great find. I just ordered a couple appetizers, the tofu satay and crab rolls (I honestly can't remember the actual name), and the pandan cocktail. They were slammed on a Wed night so I had high hopes & they delivered. Pretty interior. The bartender was so nice and made my little solo dinner awesome. Food was delicious and I loooved the cocktail. They also have hitachino beer, yum. I definitely told my team all about this place and will def come back next time I'm in Philly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grandma’s Philly Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food tastes just like something straight from grandma’s kitchen — comforting, flavorful, and made with so much love. Every dish comes out fresh and full of flavor, but the real standouts for me are Grandma’s Meatballs and the Papaya Salad. The meatballs are tender, juicy, and packed with rich, savory flavor — easily one of my favorites. The papaya salad is super refreshing with the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and crunchy — it complements everything so well! The staff are always warm and friendly, making you feel like part of the family. The space has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the portions are generous for the price. If you’re craving a hearty, home-style meal that hits the spot every time, Grandma’s Philly is the place to go. I’m already looking forward to coming back for more meatballs and papaya salad!

Grandma’s Philly has been on my list to try forever, and I’m so glad I finally got around to visiting! It’s a great place to get Thai cuisine in an upscale but still relaxed environment. We sat at the bar and started with a thai espresso martini. It was rich and creamy, but a tad sweet for my liking. For food, we got the grandma’s meatballs, crispy chives and drunken noodles. The grandma’s meatballs were outstanding - the sauce was very robust (sweet + savory). I used the sauce in conjunction with the other dishes. The crispy chives were fried perfectly and had a lot more flavor than I was expecting. The drunken noodles we got with chicken and spice level 2. The heat was a nice kick without being overpowering, and I enjoyed the wide noodles. The menu was so expansive, I had a hard time choosing (a good problem). This is now a new favorite restaurant, and I can’t wait to come back and try more.

Everything was an absolute flavor bomb! From the veggie spring rolls to the massaman curry and the drunken noodles, everything was fantastic. I an vegan and I had so many options. My husband and I had a quick stopover on our way to the airport, and even though we live over 2 hours away, we will be coming back just to eat here again!

First of all, shoutout to Jada for an excellent experience and great recommendations! Curry puffs were out of this world. Crunchy exterior, soft pastry inside with a flavorful curry filling. Heaven The Duck was fall off the bone tender was gone within a minute of hitting the table. Drunken Noodles were very good with tons of flavor and good amount of protein. The noodles were killer, soft with a slight chew.

Excellent food, amazing vibes and gets really busy so reservations recommended. Also service is a bit slow but understandable. Not at all kid friendly. Good for date nights and groups. It can get really loud so not recommended for business dinners or first dates.
