Chatayee Thai

I'm not from Philly but every timeI visit I have to come here. Their pork belly pad kee mao is my favorite. Their pad thai and pad see ew are amazing as well. Staff here is incredible! They are always welcoming and attentive. Their cocktails and mocktails are great too. If you have a chance, be sure to check this place out!

The food was delicious, cocktails were fresh and tasty. Our original server left without mentioning she would be switching service to the bartender. The bartender was then our server but was extremely awkward. He mentioned several times that we ordered a lot of food, and gave us a hard time for ordering appetizers but not dessert. It made our first experience at the restaurant weird enough that we agreed we like the food enough to get takeout but won't be revisiting the sit down. The food was amazing.

Great first visit to Chatayee Thai, and one of my favorite things about this location was the ambiance inside. Everything looked authentic- the lighting, artwork and decor, menu script, music, etc.Overall, service was a bit slow, but I think the quality of the food was excellent. Would recommend family style options. Our favorites were the Pad See Ew with chicken ($20), Pad Kra Prao (pork belly $20), and the Panang Si Krong On (Braised Short Rib, $38). Would definitely get the 3/4 spice level if you enjoy a good kick!Would come back again when I'm in the area!

Beautiful decorated restaurant, extremely friendly staff. Had pad thai, a signature drink and dumings. Great food, would have like it to be a bit spicier, but still tasty

Delicious Thai food. We visited Chatayee Thai on a Saturday night, and it was about half full. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with Thai artwork and sculptures that make it feel as if you have been transported to Thailand. Jazz music played over the speakers during our visit. I ordered the kickboxer to drink and the kang sing hol to eat. The food was served within 15 minutes of ordering and the drink was presented about 3 minutes after the food. The drink had an appealing blend of flavors. The food was scrumptious, and the portion size was perfect. Overall, I would highly recommend Chatayee Thai, and I know I will be back.

Came here on Valentine's Day. Caught the tail end of happy hour that's 3:30-5:30. They have a lot of good deals and this is a great spot for after work. They gave us a complimentary champagne drink for Valentine's Day that was super cute! We were seated at the front of the restaurant near the windows which was a perfect date night spot. They also have an upstairs which I could see perfect for a private birthday party or some other event. The waiter was very kind and helped us with our choices. We got the tofu satay and another appetizer with roti. We got tofu pad Thai and Chatayee Kang Kewan. The waiter asked us the spice level for everything which I appreciate. We went with medium which was perfect for me but I can get overwhelmed with spicy. I thought medium was spicy but not the spiciest that I have ever experienced. I think my favorites were the tofu satay and the pad thai. The tofu satay was a good deal, $7 on happy hour! The Kang Kewan was a curry dish so it came with rice, the broth was flavor was fresh but spicy and had lots of chunks of tofu and veggies. I like that the pad thai had a lot of different textures between the fresh shredded cabbage and the peanuts. If you like noodle dishes, this one was very good. Overall, I really liked this spot and I think the happy hour is really good. I will make an effort to come back to this place and would recommend it to anyone vegan or not!

Let me tell you how this place speaks for itself without speaking. I was walking by and noticed the ceiling to floor windows and patrons dining right at tables next to the window. The place was packed and I knew the next time I was in the area I had to check it out. And that's just what I did. As soon as I walked in I felt warm and like I was in for a great experience. The ambiance is inviting and beautiful, I almost thought I was in an art museum. The lighting is just right. There's plenty of space and seating top to bottom. Friendly staff. And who doesn't appreciate a well kept restaurant, it was spotless including the rest room.The food is spot on. Best green curry in town. Best tom yum soup. Pad Thai spot on. One thing I've always appreciated with Thai food in general is that it's well seasoned. All the flavors came together well. I didn't feel like anything was missing from any of the dishes. Each dish hit the right notes. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes here really. Especially since you can request your level of spice.One thing to remember here is there's a 3% card processing fee applied when paying by card. Which some restaurants have started to do these days. If that doesn't bother you fine, if it does, make sure you bring plenty of cash to avoid the extra charge.Chatayee is a must visit and multiple follow up visits.

Great food but very slow service. When we arrived there was about a 30 minute wait. We were seated, and it took a while to get our drink order and to take our order. The food also took a long time to come out, and we had to constantly flag servers down to ask for things. The decor in the restaurant is immaculate and very authentic. The massaman and roti, pad thai and pad kee mao were all really delicious! The Tom kha soup was ok, but I've had much better. The portions are huge. We all had leftovers. Would definitely come back again.

First off, I love that they have a separate vegan menu that highlights the items from their regular menu that are or can be made vegan. Super handy. Second, this was one of the best Pad See Ew dishes I've ever had. It wasn't just flat noodles sautéed in soy sauce. There was a beautiful aroma of basil in the whole dish as well, and there were plenty of other vegetables other than a smattering of Chinese broccoli like most places do. Also a good serving of tofu that helped it be quite filling. The boyfriend also had some chicken satay skewers that he said were very tender and delicious. Most of the other entrees on the menu were significantly more expensive and not what I would even think about trying, but the basic noodle and rice dishes were relatively reasonable ($18). We came early in the evening on a Sunday, well before most people have dinner, so it was relatively quiet, and the servers were on top of it when it came to taking our orders, refilling our water, taking away dishes, and bringing the check. Very smooth service. Would definitely eat here again.

Nice big space in Center City with large portions. It looked busy when I arrived around 7pm on a Monday, but I was quickly seated. I had:Spring rolls with shrimp ($8) - 4/5. Nice and crispy, with two (?) shrimps wrapped inside along with the veggies. I wish there were more than 3 though. Since when did we start paying almost $3 per egg roll??Kang Pham Kai ($22) - 3/5. I was pretty disappointed by this dish, since it really didn't scratch my itch for curry. The curry was too soupy and didn't cling onto the chicken and veggies. The meat was also tough. The only good thing is that there was a lot of meat, so I got to have two meals out of this dish. I have major regrets not ordering the pad Thai, which came as a veritable HEAP. Service was good. Entrees took a while to come out. There's a surcharge added if you don't pay in cash, so watch out for that.
