Chaiya Thai & Asian Fusion — Restaurant in Haverford Township

The environment entering in is...relaxed, chill, and laid-back. Granted we were the only ones here. The service is good, but not very fast (again, "chill"). The lemongrass soup was excellent. Very fragrant and wonderful. The Thai iced tea was quite good as well, with condensed milk, my wife thinks. We came on a Groupon. The portions are quite small, but the food really is well executed and delicious. And the lunch special of $9 for a main course (chicken green curry, very good, tasting better the more you eat it) and the aforementioned lemongrass soup. The chicken satay was unique, and I love the mini bit of cucumber onion slaw on the side. The papaya salad was okay. Overall, if you are not rushed but want good Thai food, come. If you are in any bit of a hurry, stay away (we were the only ones here... So it would probably be worse if it were packed). Judged solely on taste and execution, this would veer toward 4.5 stars. The pace isn't the fastest and the portions are a bit small (hence the modest menu prices, so it's not that unreasonable). The music was enjoyable for my wife. The mango sticky rice was very yummy. Because I came on a Groupon and am feeling generous (the food really is tasty), I'll raise the average and give it a 5. Call me a softy. I'm also local, so that helps. The service is not bad. Just not brisk. But seriously, the food, which is the most important, really delivered and hit the spot. I would definitely recommend it (especially with Groupon), and I myself would consider coming back (maybe even if...

This place is unprofessional, filthy and should be closed by the local heath department. They did not open according to published hours. When I called she apologized and said she changed the hours to open at 4:00pm. I returned at 4pm only to find them still closed. I called and complained because I'd purchased a "non-refundable" Groupon. I watched from my car as she hurried from the apartment upstairs to open up around 4:15pm. She still had no cook! I entered and the place was filthy. Greasy grime was all over the floors and baseboards. Tables was smeared as if a dirty, greasy rag was used to wipe them off. The owner was yelling at me and telling me to do whatever but she would not call Groupon and tell them to refund my money. She said she would cook something for me herself if I waited another hour. I said I just wanted a refund. She flailed her arms about and said do whatever I want to do, but she would not give a refund. This business should be shut down! The health department should inspect it immediately as I am sure...

I waited some time before writing this review, did not want to make it emotional- All that I am gonna say is, whatever happened to this place since the last time I ate there (maybe 2 years ago) until present day, is strange. It was just a bizarre occurance of a take out order that left me feeling weird. The vibe is off and it just left a bad taste in my mouth. The food was fine enough, apps felt like just frozen food reheated, soups were good. The customer interaction was as odd as they come. Without saying what I really feel like, I will leave it at - definitely not a place I will ever return to. Read through all the reviews before you decide to purchase food here - I have found a lot of similar reviews. Nothing about this felt like authentic Thai food or welcoming or that my business was appreciated. Some things just aren't meant to be. Worst part, I gave a generous tip before hand (grubhub) because it was Christmas, had I known, would have just flipped it to a niece or nephew who...
