Everytime I’ve been here it’s been so yummy! So yay for consistency. I came to dine alone at the bar and had such a great meal. The Thai place I usually go to in my neighborhood was closed today on Monday so I made the trek over to grandma’s. I got the Khao Soi curry noodles - at any other Thai place I get curry but they do this so well! It’s a pretty big bowl, so come hungry. I also got recommended by Dom to try the coconut cake because I asked about the mango sticky rice which isn’t really in season in the winter. So glad I did. Was such a delicate and sweet way to end the meal- I don’t think I’ve had coconut cake like that before, ever. Dom tells me it’s made in house which it definitely tasted like. The ambiance was cute too- lots of flowers which made it feel whimsical and cozy at the same time. When I turned around it was packed and there’s all different kinds of seating- for parties of 2 or larger groups. Thank you Dom and Kels for a lovely dining experience! You two made my day :)
It's a modern take of Thai cuisine. If you're looking for old school authentic Thai cuisine, this isn't for you. This is modern Thai that is geared to be more Western friendly. If you are trying to introduce someone to Thai cuisine and trying not to shock them with strong flavors, sure this is a good entry level. It's not bad at all, but certainly not the type of cuisine you'll find on the streets of Bangkok. Instead of Grandma's, this is probably better named Hip Grandma's. You'll be fine as long as you know what you're getting into and manage your expectations. They take both cash and card, with extra 4% charge if you use a card.
Grandma’s Philly Thai earns a glowing 5-star rating for its "flavor bomb" cuisine and exceptional hospitality. The menu excels across the board, featuring standout dishes like the crispy pork stir-fry, Grandma’s meatballs, and the highly recommended Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles). Diners praised the kitchen’s ability to balance bold spices with perfectly cooked proteins, including fresh seafood and various vegan-friendly options like the Massaman curry. The experience is bolstered by a "super cute" atmosphere and a professional staff. Servers Dominic and Jada were specifically highlighted for their menu expertise, accurate spice-level descriptions, and attentive, well-paced service even during busy hours. With beautiful plating and consistent quality, it has established itself as a destination-worthy spot for Thai food enthusiasts.
