Cruising along South Street we weren't sure where to have dinner. It seems the eateries come in pockets along South Street but range from Roti places, takeouts, pubs and a few small restaurants. We found a nice Thai Restaurants with moderate prices right on 2nd Street off the corner of South Street. I believe it was also in a landmark building that was occupied a famous Philly architect dating back to the 1800's. I ordered a Pineapple fried rice with Shrimp. Had to remove tail, size was moderate, and price was only $9. The dish was just right and shrimp tasted like it was supposed to taste like. The pineapple was not canned, they were fresh, which a says allot about a restaurant. I also had Thai Iced Tea which was exactly as it was supposed to be and the best thing is they did not drown it with a ton of ice. My date had the Drunken noodles which are broad noodles. She had them with beef. The beef tasted a bit gamey (strong) so both of us disliked the meat, but the noodles and sauce were great. The service was great. Very attentive and courteous. Environment was clean and spread out in some areas and moderate in others. After dinner they provide a Fortune Cookie - people think its a Chinese thing but was actually invented in California by a Japanese entrepreneur.. and now served in a Thai Restaurant. go figure. Credit cards are accepted. For dessert, right around the corner and about two blocks towards the higher number there are about three ice cream places.. one is a Thai Ice Cream place which is a must try ($7 per cup.. its made fresh right before your eyes! Bon Appetite! Carson
