The manager was terrible. They made a mistake with the order and were not willing to fix it despite us kindly asking. The manager was abrupt and rude. I have never left a review but this was outrageously horrible. read more

Went in and is so pretty. The woman would not let me order in person, unless I was going to pay cash so I had me scan a code which I found weird. But it ended up being a lifesaver. The prices are way above the norm but I was shocked that too have anything but vegetables they add a ton. I am Talking 10 bucks for extra meat etc. or 2-5 for the initial. Since I was already paying $20 for a simple meals, I decided to click on tofu. Just then a small brown mouse walked about 2 feet from me and I left. So, just to be clear, the woman was not rude, but not friendly, it is completely overpriced, and the fact that there was a mouse means I definitely will never be eating there. read more

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service! The atmosphere is very romantic and relaxing. I came here with a group and we received excellent service. The waitress was very kind and patient and the food came out quick and hot. The food was pretty good thai food, no complaints will definitely be back! read more

Coco Thai Bistro - Thai Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

I have lots of good to say about this place! First and foremost, the service. Evelyn answered the phone for my pickup order and she facilitated the in-person exchange, and she might just be the sweetest person who has ever worked in food service in the history of all human kind. I'm convinced she's an angel sent from above and I hope she gets a raise, I've never had such a wonderful time buying thai food. I hope she does well in life. The restaurant was so cute from the outside, all covered in plants, but not a lot to say there since I only did takeout. I arrived 17 minutes after I ordered the meal and it was hot and ready, so they work quite quickly, too. I will say it was kind of expensive (by college student standards), it was about $22 for a pad see ew and a thai iced tea. The food itself was enjoyable. The chicken pad see ew had a good flavour to it, except this was the first time I had seen cooked vegetables take the foreground taste-wise in this meal specifically. Nonetheless, it was still enjoyable and filling. It was packaged in a very nice compostable plant fibre box, which I thought was a nice touch. The thai iced tea was good too, it wasn't sickly sweet the way some other places serve it. Overall, it was a good standard thai place. I'm giving 5 stars mainly for Evelyn though. Interacting with her made my whole day better. read more

I visited friends in Narberth in December, they highly recommended Coco Thai Bistro, so we gave it a try. I had the Panang chicken curry with rice, it was delicious, the best! Miss Evelynita our server was the sweetest girl, food was all fresh and warm, I'll go back for both! read more

Made a huge order for our whole office, for a birthday celebration. Everyone was really looking forward to it. I called to check on the pick up, which was scheduled for 15 min from the time of my call- and the man said something like he didn't see our order, and literally put the phone down and didn't return. I could hear them talking and laughing in the background, and then I got a notification that my order was 'declined.' When I tried to call back to see what happened nobody picked up the phone. A coworker called a little later to see if we could still put in our order, and she just got the runaround. Super bad business! We were going to lay out a decent sum to have a nice birthday lunch. Not to mention that it threw our whole timing off and kind of ruined it. I guess they don't care about making money or happy customers. read more

Coco Thai Bistro - See yew with tofu and glass noodles (bottom), standard yew with chicken (top) - Thai Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

Though surprisingly expensive, the food and experience was a delight. I suppose watering the plants here is a full-time job, so maybe that's why they charge a bit more. Regardless, I'll definitely return to treat myself, and I'm happy to have this place bring me to Narberth. It's a nice little town! read more

I love this restaurant, love the food, absolutely best Thai in the area. When they first opened back up for pickup (we're still in quarantine as I write this) they were having some issues but I'm happy to say that they fixed them. They have immense attention to details and good choice of vegan, vegetarian dishes. Easy to find something gluten free in their menu. Their meats are all responsibly sourced as well My favorite dish here is the green curry, but my friends like all the other curries as well. I wouldn't know cause I'm addicted to the green one. Pad Thai is always flavorful and the portions are generous. I like their choices of appetizers that change seasonally. Very strong mango with sticky rice dessert as well. . read more

Returned with family to dine in. There were a few small hiccups in service (forgotten items and inaccurate info about reservations) but overall it was a good experience and I do think the food (or maybe our selection of dishes) was better and definitely earned more stars in my book. Not quite the 5 star experience but a very solid place for thai in the burbs! We'll be back read more

The food is undoubtedly good. But the restaurant lacks professionalism and hospitality. For instance, while dining there, you must use a website to order and pay. There is very little interaction with the server. Yet, they charge a required 20% gratituty. Once when we ordered, they forgot all of the rice to go with our curries. When I called, I figured they'd be apologetic and perhaps run it down to us (we are a few blocks away). They just said we could come back and get it. read more

Pre pandemic, I loved this place. It WAS a friendly, cozy and quiet BYO with an uplifting atmosphere. I made reservations to go post pandemic, it was a different experience all together. We arrived to find the only seating was on the second floor, which is not ADA compliant. My walker depended mom wouldn't be able to easily sit. (Strike one.) Then they asked us to use a QR code to access the menu. I don't have or want a QR code thing on my phone and shouldn't have to download an app to order food. Some people (me) have vision issues that make online ordering unpleasant. No paper menu option. (Strike two.) THEN the waitress points out that there's an uncorking fee for your BYO. NOPE. I draw the line at that. (Three strikes.) We were out of there. Additionally, the second floor only seating put us right next to a very loud table in a very cramped spot. When I asked to be seated on the first floor telling them about my mother's disability (not to mention my own issues with stairs,) and the noise level I was told there wasn't a server for the first floor. So, my disabled mother should have to climb the stairs because your staff wont? I was told I should have asked before making the reservations. WHO EVER WOULD ASSUME A RESTAURANT ONLY SERVED ON ITS SECOND FLOOR?!!? When I asked if there was any other option to order, I was told no. As for uncorking fees.... that's ridiculous. IK I may be coming across like an uber-karen... For which I am truly sorry. I'm especially sorry and apologize to the waitress for my bruskness and walking out. The waitress wasn't at fault for anything, and she got stuck with my airing of displeasure. I hope the owners see this review and recognize that they need to make some changes to keep customers. The food is (probably) still wonderful, BUT the place is no longer "user friendly." A real shame. read more

Food is good but service leaves much to be desired. There appears to be just 1 server for all tables. Parts of the order are forgotten despite ordering by app, water is not refreshed, satay is stone cold and it's difficult to find your server to do anything about it. However a 20% tip is automatically added. Ambience is nice and food is good but would not recommend dine in. Prices are high compared to other Thai restaurants as well. read more

I ordered their Pad Thai with zucchini noodles and chicken. I opted for the medium spice level. The flavor was absolutely there; I always squeeze the lime over the dish and I recommend anyone else to do the same. Savory and delicious with a hint of that spice flavor. Next time, I'll go up a few tiers on the spice level of the sauce; the Medium-Spice sauce served more as a flavor enhancer than a heat additive. I can take the heat. After my meal, I had a Vietmanese-style iced coffee. For those not in the know, it is a highly-caffeinated coffee that is very sweet. Too sweet for me (I was expecting an iced americano), but my friend enjoyed the rest of the cup. I gotta say, the atmosphere in this place was 10/10. Very pleasing to the eye. read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant in the Mainline for 12 years (except the time when they closed to renovate the place). The food has always been amazing. However, I had a reservation for 5 people last week. When we showed up, the waiter told us she couldn't seat us since they were busy. Another waiter showed up, looked at the reservation list, said they couldn't seat us, and walked away without any apology. Our reservation was at 7 so they could have called us to cancel the reservation when they realized there were busy. I read some of their responses on google, and they are writing "Thank you for not coming back" when people complained about their horrendous service. I'm expecting such a rude answer here as well!! read more

The food is good and the ambiance is lovely, although the greenery is a bit over the top. I would love to give five stars but can't get over the nerve of charging an automatic 20%, which alone is galling, but as others have pointed out, that's for practically no service at all. The ordering is through an app and all they do is drop the food off at the table. To top it off, we were charged an additional $5 for them to bring wine glasses to the table for the bottle we brought ourselves. So, apparently, a 20% tip doesn't even include that service. Don't think we'll be back. Bottom line, good food that left a bad taste in our mouths. read more

LOVE the food here. Atmosphere is also wonderful. But HATE how they just decide to close whenever they want. I can't keep track of their ever changing random hours and, more than not, when I want food from here, I can't even get it!! It's sad because it is good. Also, I don't appreciate the attitude given when I am surprised they decide to close at crazy earlier, unstated hours. Such a shame. read more

Amazing food and the restaurant was gorgeous and cozy! Staff was super accommodating and very friendly.

I've been here several times and it is always a great experience. BEAUTIFUL atmosphere with tons of greenery. Great service too. You order on your phone and tip is included. A lot of options even for picky eaters. They used to have amazing beef skewers that I would love for them to bring back!!! read more

I really wanted to give this place three stars. However the food was pretty good and I would probably return at this point. We order the drunken noodles and the Penang curry both with chicken. We would like them a little bit more spicy but since it was our first time there, we accepted their spice levels of one and two stars. Both were very good dishes, the Penang was a little on the creamy side And the vegetables and both dishes were fresh and crisp. We came for lunch and the portions were smaller than we are used to so we had no leftovers to take home. I also ordered a Thai iced coffee with Boba. However there was so much ice in the glass that I left a lot of the Boba behind. The hostess was a bit brusque and sat us in the window next to her makeshift office on the next table. The waitress took our order and delivered it but otherwise ignored us. We were short a utensil for most of the meal and it's only when she came by near the end of our meal that we were able to get a replacement. Service gets two stars. It's Narberth so parking can be challenging during peak hours. read more

Dined there with a friend early on a Friday. Waiter came to the table and told us we had to look at the menu and place our order using QR code. It was the most awkward QR code menu we have ever seen......very difficult to navigate. After struggling for over 5 minutes we asked the waiter if he could just take our order and he refused. We should have left but didn't. Another 10 minutes of struggling went by and finally the waiter came over and said he would take our order....took him one minute to do so. At this time there were only 2 other small parties in the dining room we were seated in. I will never go back there and neither will my friend. read more

This was a great Thai Restaurant. I've been a half dozen times. Last night was a huge disappointment. The food remains delicious and the restaurant is beautiful. The waiter did not tell us about the QR code on the table we had to use to order. So we sat and sat waiting for menus. The QR ordering wasn't user friendly. We all had to order separately. It was cumbersome. Plus, resent the corkage fee, the added tip and the lack of human contact in the ordering process. Will not be back unless they go back to the old ways. There are many Thai restaurants in the vicinity that are excellent. And where human beings still interact with other humans. read more

Food is good but waitress was extremely rude. As I was complaining to the owner, another patron came down the steps complaining about her as well. The restaurant automatically adds a 20 per cent tip so there was no incentive for her to perform better and no opportunity for me to express my displeasure financially. Did not get a particularly good feeling from the owner that she was concerned about our complaints. There are also no paper menus, need to use your phone to order. I can get used to that but not the rudeness. By the way they charge you a dollar to take your unfinished good home-- food you already paid for. read more

Coco Thai is amazing. The atmosphere is shocking beautiful and the plantings are a labor of much obvious love. The food is equal to the setting and delicious. Yes if you are a cheapskate, unable to use an iPhone, and unconcerned about the pandemic, some of the brilliant innovations to keep patrons safe and get them their food in a timely manner will be lost on you. Complaining about a small corking fee when you can bring in your own expensive wine to accompany the fine food shows that you just don't get it. Personally if any of the Coco Thai innovations alienate you as a dinner then the rest of us are lucky not to have you making it harder for us to get a reservation. if you haven't been to Coco Thai - you must go, and sit upstairs if possible. Then relax and enjoy a decor like no other with wonderful food to match. Everything is good but I especially love the coconut soup with shrimp, the dumplings, and any of the entrees with duck. A Narberth gem. read more

Coco Thai Bistro - Raw turkey I didn't discover until after biting in. - Thai Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

Gone are the good old days of this restaurant. The original owner (who was also the cook) made customers feel like welcome guests, and she prepared wonderful dishes. Now the servers are gruff. "May I sit at that table?" is met with a roll of the eyes and a shrug. After we'd looked at the barcode menu on our phones, we waited 25 minutes for someone to take our order. "Oh, didn't you order on your phones?" the server asked when she finally came. "Haven't you been here before? Well, THIS one time, I'll take the order for you." Customers are nickeled and dimed at every opportunity: extra for using a credit card, extra for a takeout container, extra for brown rice and a corking fee, a 20 percent tip automatically added to the bill. These practices are unfortunately becoming more widespread. But adding fake costs has not, yet that's what our server did. To cap off the dinner, she overcharged us $25 on the bill. When my husband questioned this, she acknowledged the error but made no apology. However, she did refund the money. All this being said, the food was generally good, although the fish was dry. read more

Thrilled!! So impressed the restaurant is making such effort to protect it's staff and patrons. Proof of vaccination is required for indoor dining, and seating is well spaced. Even the restroom has an air purifier. As someone who continues to battle cancer, but is longing to feel comfortable when out, Coco Thai hits it out of the park. The food, as usual, is extremely fresh and delicious. QR scan technology is used to order your meal directly, so remember to bring your smartphone. Our lovely server Emilio was attentive without being intrusive and ensured a wonderful, and relaxing night out. We certainly will return. read more

Wonderful food and ambiance, but a $5 corking fee, mandatory 20% tip, and zero service with QR menu?

This used to be one of our mainstays - however, they have totally lost all of their charm and appeal! There was NO interaction with the waitress or any other staff, she essentially opened the bottle of wine, brought water and told us to order off the QR code and brought the food. A 20% gratuity was included (that's usually what I give), however, I asked for a small to-go-box and they charged $1 for it. I also asked for a small amount of rice and the waitress basically said to go on the app to order. Although the food was descent, I won't be going back to this sterile environment and will spend my $$ elsewhere! read more

We used to love this place when we lived in narberth so went back recently. The extra cork fee, takeout fee (?) and automatic 20% tip without providing any real services (you use an app to order and go up front to pay) is outrageous. We understand that the current situation requires some adjustments to prices but this is beyond what we expected to pay for Thai food even on the mainline. read more

This is probably my favorite thai place right now. The curry is spicy and flavorful. My husband got the panang curry (level 1 -5) and got #4. It was spicy but he loved it. The pad thai was delicious and I could even choose duck for my protein. I've honestly never had duck with my pad thai but I like it! The mango salad is like a papaya salad but without the papaya. They had a cabbage salad but I was looking for the original som tum salad with papaya so I took away 1 star. Overall great food, great service and there are many beautiful plants and orchids all around the restaurant. Would recommend to anyone who loves authentic thai food. Btw. You also get free steamed edamame pods for an appetizer while you wait! read more

Coco Thai Bistro - Red curry, summer roll and coconut bubble tea - Thai Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

Seriously , I agree with April S . WORST thai restaurant in the area . Don't waste your time , the red curry was thin and tasteless . The veggies were sparse and you had to pay 4$ for " extra veggies " which were poorly prepared zucchini and broccoli and carrots . Go to Thai Chabaa in Manayunk or even Thai Pepper for decent salmon red curry . cost me 36 dollars and I told them I wouldn't be back . It was insulting to be there ! We bought pop open cans from the beer distributor , the waitress ( if that's what you want to call the person who handed you the check at the end ) charged us EACH a 5 dollar corking fee , not one for the table even though there was nothing to " cork " . They added a 20 % gratuity on each check that wasn't optional . I had to wonder if the owners had changed because I was there when this place opened and the food was amazing and the ambiance was delightful . They need to do a serious reconsideration of their policies and stop thinking they can get away with unfriendly policies , poor service and overpriced food by hanging moss and decorating with orchids . read more

Food is always delicious, and the ambiance is really charming with plants everywhere. That said, you order by phone (no menus) so don't ask for extra rice, order it. You may be asked if you want tea or dessert, but then be told to order it yourself by phone. In case they don't tell you, tip is already included in the bill, a strange system considering your doing the ordering yourself. It's a mixed bag at this place, but the food is very good. read more

Ambience great, food great. Service - horrible. New menu, you have to order from your phone from a very confusing menu. AND you are automatically charged 20% for delivery of your food. The so called waiter does nothing for the 20%. Food is overpriced, no more lunch menu. Never again, avoid if you can. read more

Just got takeout for the first time. The food was DELICIOUS (maybe some of the best Thai takeout I've ever had!), but I was disappointed in the amount of curry we got for $18.95. The container was only half full!! Since it was on the pricier side, I was definitely expecting more food. read more

Coco Thai Bistro - Coco Thai soup with beef, zucchini noodles and vegetables - Thai Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

Honestly, probably more like 2.5 stars. Only been once with a small group during a weekday lunch. Overall food was ok-to-good although the duck roll I sampled was easily the worst I've ever had. Decor was pleasant and the service was fairly friendly, if not quite a bit slow. Considering it was not very busy, it rose to the point of noticeably so. Overall - can't say I would never return but don't see myself making a special trip and would certainly lean to trying other places first read more

One of my favorite places ever. The staff are so sweet and friendly, the flavors are so on point and the space itself is so charming and lovely. I especially like that you can get any dish with zucchini noodles (zoodles), my husband once ordered the dan dan noodles and I got the same but with zoodles and he ended up eating half my plate because it was even better than noodles! I always get a bubble tea to go. Total gem of a neighborhood spot. read more
