Ratchada Thai & Laos Cuisine

Solid Thai and Laotian restaurant in Philly. Their takeout business is booming but their restaurant is very beautifully decorated and cute (helps its BYOB too!). We went more the Thai route and got the Thai sampler. While the spring rolls were fantastic, the crepes fell apart and the dumplings were far too dense/dry. The green curry was absolutely delicious and a massive portion. The pad Thai was fantastic and interestingly more sweet than expected but very good and balanced. The staff was super friendly as well. Very nice and will be back!

In Philly for the night and thank god this place was right around the corner from where I’m staying. I went in to pick up some food. Insanely comforting and flavorful, and the woman who took care of me was welcoming and had such a lovely personality. I’ll be back next time I’m in town. I need those curry puffs again!!!! Thanks for taking care of me 😊

What a wonderful find! This little restaurant right off 11th Street is a gem. The food is fresh, and very tasty. We started off with the calamari, and the Thai sampler. The calamari was amazing! Nice and crispy, and the sauce was really good with it. Our sampler had papaya salad, some egg rolls, fish balls, and dumplings. Very good sample of a lot of taste that you could have. We ordered the crab fried rice, the duck, a curry, chicken pad Thai, and drunken noodles. All the entrees were delicious, especially the duck. Crispy, with this wonderful mango sauce that was the star of the show. We ended, with a mango sticky rice that was really, really good. We spent $160 for four people, which is a pretty good deal for such wonderful food and drinks. I would highly recommend this place and definitely will return.

What a great thai place! The price is so affordable for the portion and how amazing it is! The service was very good too and the atmosphere is amazing. I was here with friends to catch up, and we definitely took forever to order and stayed for a while, and the staff was so kind and did not rush us or made us feel unwelcome at all. We ordered Massaman Curry Entree, pad thai shrimp, Pad Himmaparn Sauteed Entree, Mango Sticky rice, and Khao Jee Ping Everything here was freaking delicious! I highly recommend it. Especially the mango sticky rice and Khao Jee Ping. The grilled sticky rice is so amazing. It's crispy and so satisfying to eat. Definitely stop by and try it out!!!

A very nice little restaurant. We went as 6 +2 group and were able to really enjoy the dining. Staffs are very friendly , accommodative , informed (meaning suggesting the food for specific requirement). We ordered both veg and non veg dishes. We really liked the food , portions etc. will def come back and suggest my friends to this place . Top of the item we tasted are reg fried rice , chicken satay. Wild ginger was an added bonus for yummy food.

Whenever I am craving for Thai food this is definitely one of my go to Thai restaurant in south Philly. My favorite appetizer is the fish cake and the Thai sausage. I love their Tom yum soup. The portion of the soup is big enough to share for 2 people. My favorite entree is the Ratchada duck. I can literally eat a whole bowl of rice with just this sauce and rice that’s how good the sauce is. We came here tonight with our friend and decided to let the restaurant surprise us with dishes rather then us picking out the dishes ourselves. Everything we had was delicious. The service is always exceptional. Waitress is so friendly and attentive. They constantly come by to check on us. For anyone who have never tried this place definitely need to give this place a try. It’s definitely a hidden gem in south Philly. I promise if you give you this place a try, you will definitely come back for more.
