Thai Singha House — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I ordered delivery for Thai Singa House, whereI had a positive first experience with an order for delivery. The first time, I had ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Pad See Ew with Chicken. Both entrees were good and 4-star quality. Since I had a positive first experience, I couldn’t understand reviews on Yelp and other sites with ratings below a 4-star when I ordered the first time.

My second experience, was enlightening. The order was literally inedible. I ordered a double portion of chicken pad thai. They elected to give me fried tofu and chicken. That’s incorrect, as well as problematic when you’re gluten intolerant and place in the notes “gluten-free”. The second dish was beef brisket and chicken. I’ve been eating brisket, probably since it could be digested in my baby food. I have had it for decades in places across North America and Europe. It was the worst tasting brisket I’ve ever had- without question. The texture was bad as well, possibly because it wasn’t sliced properly- against the grain? Regardless, I was irritated, and extremely disappointed.

Though the portion size was good, it didn’t matter, because both entrees ended up in the garbage disposal. Now, I understand the average rating, and its justification. I’m being empathetic and mindful of my first experience for...

I enjoyed my first meal so much, I had to return! Thai Singha House is a favorite neighborhood Thai restaurant. The food is home made. My guest ordered Chicken Lemon Grass Soup. The review was "this is the best soup I have ever tasted" the Coconut chicken soup was equally tasty. The shrimp shumai was served with a flavorful sweet and spicy soy sauce. The Pad Thai was very tasty and had a great texture. The dressing for the house salad is served with a homemade, sweet and tangy, orange, ginger and carrot puree Thai dressing. The chicken Pad See Ew was very good as well. We returned a few days later and tried the Lad Na and the Yellow Vegetable Curry. The Thai iced tea was made very well. Thai Singha House has a healthy takeout business, I can understand why. All in all this was a great neighborhood find. Update: I enjoyed the Lad Na so much, I had a take-home portion. Thai Singha House is a BYOB establishment. I would suggest a Moscow Mule to drink along with the meal of Lad Na. A perfect...

My friend and I came here because of University City Dining Days promotion. They were offering 3 courses for $15 so it seemed like a great deal. The place is pretty small and very simple. The menu had plenty of options. We tried the shrimp lemongrass soup and veggie spring rolls as starters. Both were good. The soup had a nice kick to it and good sized shrimp in it. For entrees we had the green curry and vegetable drunken noodles. Both were excellent! Green curry had a wonderful, slightly spicy flavor and the noodles were loaded with plenty of fresh veggies. For the third course we had green tea ice cream and fried bananas. The ice cream was too earthy for me—I expected a lighter, sweeter flavor. The friend bananas were absolutely perfect. Served hot and crispy and sweet. This place is BYOB so you can bring your own drinks but bring an ice bucket for your wine because they don’t have them. We also got dirty wine glasses and had to ask for more. Other than that the...
