South Sea Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Abington Township

I was kind of surprised when I got here. Maybe because I didn’t see much interior photos of this restaurant online. This is actually not a regular restaurant, but more like a take out place with a few tables and chairs. Although it is clean and nice, but space is limited. It is definitely not suitable for a large group nor family with baby strollers. They have parking spaces in the rear behind the restaurant. The entrance is narrow! I nearly pass that when it is right next to the restaurant.

How about their food? It is not the best, but not the worst. My husband and I thought the food was a bit bland. It got taste but not flavorful enough compare to other Thai cuisine we have tried. We ordered the Tom yum noodle soup with shrimps. We thought it wasn’t sour enough for a tom yum soup base. We also ordered a Papaya salad, a Massamam curry with chicken, and a Thai coffee. None of those really makes me feel ooo or surprised. The Papaya salad was not anything special. The Massamam curry wasn’t too bad. Sweet and a hint of spicy with some taste of coconut milk. But the chicken was a bit rough. The Thai coffee was surprisingly sweet to me. Personally, I’m not a big fan of Thai tea cause too sweet to me, but I didn’t expect the coffee would be sweet too. Overall, I would try once, maybe not so much of a second...

My wife and I absolutely loved this little hole in the wall. The food was flavorful, delicious and very authentic. Each dish is made to order by choosing your base dish and adding a protein and level of spice. We ordered the drunken noodles, Pad Thai and crispy calamari. The Pad Thai was very flavorful and perfect balance of sweet & spicy. The calamari was made with real squid. Lightly fried and not oily.

The level of spicy ranges from 1-4 and the highest level is Thai spicy. My wife and I love spicy food and we initially ordered it to be Thai spicy. The chef talked us down to do level 2 and said that Thai spicy was really spicy. Thank God she did, because level 2 was still very spicy, but it was the right amount of spicy for us. Good heat but not over powering where it's painful. I can only imagine what Thai spicy tastes like.

The restaurant is best laid out as a take out restaurant. But there are a couple of benches for 2 people and one small table in the corner that could fit 3 to 4 people. If one decided to dine in. We sat at the small table in the corner and had a great cozy meal.

We typically go to Vic's for sushi and Thai food. But I think we will definitely be coming here for Thai and stick to Vic's...

First time ordered food at South Sea Thai Kitchen. At first we were confused where to park, but we figured it out to park in the back. Table only two inside left and right. Luckily we were planning to order for pick up anyway. The lady that was on the phone is the same as the one who interacts with me today and she was not that friendly nor to rude basically there’s no smile or welcoming vibes. Papaya salad $8.99 with adding 4pcs of shrimp extra cost $4 a bit pricey to my opinion but since I was the one who wanted and asked for shrimp I guess I had to accept it. Shrimp drunken noodles was not the best, I had better somewhere else. They used different type of sauce. Basil fried rice with shrimp was pretty good.. they put carrots a bit too much though. Carrots sliced flowers, carrots julienne cuts. Also they need to update the price on their website because didn’t match. Lemongrass soup for $7.99 that mostly broth and 3 small shrimp is overpriced. Lastly level 1 is pretty spicy to me but the spiciness that I still can handle it. I like spicy but not that much. For people that don’t eat spicy at all need to tell them if they can make it not spicy...
