Smile cafe Thai Restaurant

There was hair in the dumplings, but the waitress didn't apologize for it. The fried rice was also not good, and it felt like it was not very fresh.

We had a large group dinner here and all of us had a wonderful time. Thank you to the hosts for accommodating such a big group so last minute. Everyone (including people with very discerning palates) was impressed by the portions, flavors, and fantastic price point. (Pictured is the delicious tilapia with panang curry - huge slabs of chunky fish). The decor was cosy and inviting. Great little gem in Philly.

This was unfortunately the worst drunken noodles I’ve ever had. The flavor just wasn’t there, it seemed like they sprinkled chili powder and called it a day. The waitress also seemed to be rushing us while ordering though it was a fairly empty afternoon. The only redeeming factor was the thai iced tea which was good.

I ordered green curry with thai ice tea. They were both really really good. I liked that the green curry had some spice. The environment is very cozy. I came here alone and didn’t feel awkward at all. It’s suitable for family or friends dinner as well.

I had such high hopes based on previous reviews, but it was inedible. Ordered Massaman curry with chicken for take out. They were running behind and our order was delayed and they clearly rushed it because it was undercooked. The potatoes were raw on the inside and onions, peppers, & potato were barely cooked and very crunchy. Some of the chicken was woody and inedible.

I just want to give some love to my favorite go-to Thai food spot in Philly. Smile Cafe's curries are delicious and have been my comfort food for years.

I highly recommend the Panang, Red, and Green Curries. Even though they come packed with veggies, I love that they offer sides of steamed veggies, which I frequently add to my order. The veggies always seem fresh, never overcooked, and have the perfect bite to them.

I'm a big fan of the Chicken Satay, and the peanut sauce on the side is delicious.

Big love to the cooks and the owners - this place is a gem!
