5 Stars! Fantastic and cozy, almost elegant Thai bistro. I had the Amazing lunch Pad Thai, my wife enjoyed the Duck roll and Chicken Tom Kha. Respectful service. Will definitely return soon! read more

Ordered takeout I had the druken noodle and GF had the red curry with chicken. Both we're fantastic and good portions. I've eaten in and taken out at least 6 times and always consitently good. I feel it's the best Thai in the area. read more

One of the best food spots in Reading and staff is always kind and helpful and fast with putting in orders over the phone.

Food was great as always! Tasty and delicious with the right amount of spice... love it!

The best Tom Kla soup my dad (who's a Tom Kla connoisseur) or I have ever had. So flavorful and fresh. The Pad Thai is also amazing, the perfect bite to the noodles with a wonderful sauce and perfect chicken. It was also pretty inexpensive at $25 for Pad Thai and Tom Kla, both with chicken. The staff were great. We got lost on the way () so I called back and the person who took my order was super sweet and gave me directions. We got there to pick up a takeout order right as they were closing but they were still so nice. I only went in briefly, but the interior looked cute and the exterior was awesome, it looked like a home. One of if not the best Thai places I've ever been to. We're definitely going back and I'd recommend to anyone looking for Thai food in the Reading area. read more

My partner & I have visited this spot twice & plan to return. - So far, the cashew shrimp has been our favorite - LOTS of veggies. - The massaman curry is tasty - but could use more rice to soak up the ample sauce; the sauce-to-veggie/protein ratio could be a little more generous. - The spring rolls are just fine flavor-wise, though crispy and not too greasy. - The coconut shrimp were good, though I didn't actually notice the coconut flavor. Looking forward to trying more entrees! read more

Exceptional experience at this charming spot. Every course was superb from the appetizers to dessert. This is without doubt and by far the best Thai food I have ever eaten. Large portions, beautifully prepared. The staff was gracious and efficient and the atmosphere was inviting. I can't wait to get back there. read more

This guys is very mean. I was calling to get an order to be ready while I walk to the place and he hang out the phone 3 times saying that I can do an online order. My break from the hospital is only 30 minutes and I wanted to accelerate the order. When I got to the restaurant I told him that he was no nice and he make me wait and told me "you can go to another place". I told him in a nice way that it was not a good costumer service. I hope the owner of this restaurant can approach this message and do something about his actitud and service since he seems not to care about it. The food otherwise is really good 5 starts food read more

Authentic Thai experience. Although I probably wouldn't know an authentic Thai experience if it bit me in the ass. The only Thai I've ever eaten was at American Thai restaurants. It's like if I went to Panda Garden Heaven Delight and called that authentic Chinese. All I have ever known about Chinese food is American Chinese. Probably not the most authentic. But delicious nonetheless. Every noodle dish is a hit. The drunken noodles have great heat and lots of fresh mixed veggies. A fried egg is a nice touch. Can't go wrong with the Pad Thai, either. Hint of spice and a great lime zest. There's an element of sourness as well. A splash of rice wine vinegar perhaps? It really elevated the dish. Splurged one time and got the crab fried rice. Generous portion of crab. Savory, flavorful rice. And yes, more fried egg mixed in to my delight. I do have a qualm with one dish, the Kapow - stir fried choice of meat in roasted Thai chili with fresh garlic, onion, bell pepper, basil. Sounds great, right? Well, it ends up not being so great when you find out it's basically a stripped down version of the noodle dishes without the noodles, all the while costing the same. Basically you get a quarter of a plate of chopped up meat resembling dog food (but to their credit, tasting much better). It's a purely meat and vegetable dish. They need to desperately up the portion if customers are to find any value in it. I've had food from here delivered, but sometimes when I'm feeling assertive I'll walk my lazy butt 0.3 miles down the road and pick it up myself. The staff has always been very friendly. Whenever you're craving Thai noodles - drunken, Pad Thai, or otherwise - Spoonful will satisfy your urge. The fried rice is also a huge hit. Definitely a welcome addition to the West Reading strip. read more

I was hoping for the best with this place because I was really in the mood for some good Thai food. This is the definition of a "hipster" Thai spot. Definitely caters to the West Reading crowd from the look of the spot to the taste of the food. Very bland. Here's what I got: -Egg roll ($6.95): comes in an order of 5. They looked fantastic, but the flavor was lacking. I like my egg rolls greasy and flavorful, but these left more to be desired. I needed every bit of that Thai chili sauce to help make it taste like I wasn't eating air. So disappointing. -Pad See Ew ($13.95): my go-to dish at every Thai spot I try. It was watery and tasted sooo bland. I had to add my own soy sauce to make it taste like something. I think they use regular broccoli for their pad see ew and I've always seen Chinese broccoli used at other places. I prefer the Chinese broccoli. Good portion size though, but I could even eat half of it because I was so underwhelmed. -Black Sticky Rice Pudding ($7.95): I wanted mango sticky rice like I know every other Thai place to have but this is all they had. YUCK. This definitely seems like a "trendy" twist on mango sticky rice. Could've done without it. The sticky rice was good but wayyy too much of the cream to where it wasn't even like pudding. And who thought to add blueberries???? No, just no. I was so disappointed and immediately wished I went elsewhere to eat. I will not be returning. read more

A small space off Penn served up very tasty Thai in a prompt and attentive fashion. Highly recommended.

Spoonful Thai Bistro - Drive by slowly, a bit hidden but worth the stop. - Thai Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

We decided to try here when we were in West Reading and holy knock your socks off. We started with crab Rangoon and egg rolls. Both were excellent! The crab rangoon was legit crab, not like you get at other places. I ordered one of the curries and had no idea it'd be as good as it was. You pour it over your rice (equally as good) and I had to slow myself down because it was that good. Service was friendly and fast, as they do a heck of a takeout business on top of the restaurant. It's small, so making a reservation is key. We didn't, but were there early enough to get a table fast. We will definitely be returning, even if just for takeout. My only regret was not taking photos of our amazing experience! read more

My husband and I tried Spoonful Thai Bistro for the first time and loved it! I've had a hard time finding good Thai food close by, so I was excited to try this one out. Delicious and authentic! We got shrimp pad thai and and a chicken cashew nut entree to share, and both were amazing (and they were great together). Amazing flavor and good portion sizes. We'll be back for sure! read more

We had an out of town guest, and my girlfriend was coming home from visiting family and we needed takeout. We agreed on Thai, and were deciding between the two local spots. We settled on Spoonful after looking at the menus. We used DoorDash for delivery (driver made great time, all product was delivered intact, etc, no issues with this) . We ordered 2 drunken noodles (spicy) and a pad see ew (mild) . Upon delivery, we cracked open our containers, and began to dig in. The noodles were delicious. The sauce was tasty. The veggies tasted fresh. Man this is pretty goo.... Wait a minute. So, the two drunken noodles were ordered "spicy" and they had 0 heat. Like a .1 out of 10 perhaps. Maybe on the level of black pepper. My girlfriend had the mild pad see ew... .and it was actually spicy. Like, it wasn't mouth melting hot, but was like a 4/10 on the pepper scale. Food was made well, and everything tasted fresh. Just not sure why they give you the option to order a spice level, when they don't really look at. read more

Food was very good. It's a very busy place where everyone works very hard. Best to call for reservations on weekends.

The food at this hidden gem in West Reading is always incredibly fresh and amazing! Hopefully the owner is there behind the kitchen when you go. read more

Food was great, service was nice and the environment was chill. The server was extremely nice.

I really want to like this place, but every time I try to go, they are closed. Stopped by this past Friday evening and again on Saturday late afternoon. Both time their hours indicated they should be open, but the place was dark and locked. Wondering if they went out of business. read more

I've been here about 10 times and I gotta say, they're always good on everything. Food is amazing and they're very consistent with the flavor. I've had the massaman curry, the cashew nut, the pad Thai, and the drunken noodles. Also their egg rollls and crab ragoons are delicious. Service is always good, attentive and friendly, and the place is nice, clean and cute. read more

Every time I come here I leave happy. The food is always delicious. The best Thai place around.

I eat here almost weekly. The food is wonderful and so is the staff. On a Tuesday they were closed, unbeknownst to me, and I called and ordered. They made my order anyway. When I got there the woman said she was there when I called so she figured why not make the food because people have to eat. This place goes above and beyond and the flavors are amazing. This is the best Thai place in the area in my opinion. read more

Food is definitely good with fresh ingredients but I feel as if this place definitely caters to the standard American taste buds as this was probably one of the saltiest Thai dishes I've ever had & no spicy heat whatsoever after requesting (very very spicy) & as Thai food being my 2nd favorite ethnic cuisine I've tried many many many different Thai places all throughout the east coast. Prices seem standard to what many other Thai restaurants have but they definitely have very small portions to other Thai restaurants but I guess it's expected being that its a bistro-cafe like setting. I ordered shrimp drunken noodles & shrimp pad thai. Great place to swing by if you want something quick & local but for now I believe Eve's Kitchen & Thaiwat in Berks county outdoes this place greatly when it comes to true true authentic style Thai cooking. read more

Yummmmmy! Good portions and warm customer service. I'm wary of trying new things but I thoroughly enjoyed this place! Such a shame business wasn't busy. Please do give them a try, I look forward to going back. read more

Had the beef pad thai - maybe best I ever had! And pineapple shrimp fried rice- amazing flavor- fresh! The thai ice tea wasnt too sweet and had a true fresh tea brew with thai flavors! Will be back! Wished they delivered! read more

Great little place to eat! Food was prepared quickly, and the restaurant was clean. Prices were reasonable. Will definitely eat here again!

I got a pineapple shrimp dish and it was delicious!! The waitress was also so sweet. Overall I had a great experience there!

Food was delicious and I would order from there again. Inly thing it needed was more sauce and it would've been perfect

BEST Thai food around!!!!! I have been to Spoonful several times and it never fails. I recommend it to everyone I know. Its my fave restaurant in Reading!!! read more

Wow! Visiting family in the area. This is seriously some of the best Thai food I've had. Chicago had my favorite place but now West Reading has won my tastebuds! Penang Curry chicken was perfection. (I had it medium spice )Fresh sliced lemon leaves! So perfect and clean. Broth was silk. This is one of those gems that you find and only wish everyplace ( that has disappointed you) could make this kind of food. Thank you!! Now I know where to get a wonderful meal when I visit Berks county. read more

Delicious curry dishes, and service was great. We sat outside and had a wonderful "front porch" view of a lovely Fall day and people enjoying it. We will definitely return! read more

Finally got around to ordering from this restaurant. Egg and tofu pineapple rice was very tasty! I will be bringing some friends to visit soon. read more

Authentic Thai dishes on the menu. Tried the Green Chicken Curry and Pineapple Fried Rice and thought they were both decent. We asked the waitress to make all the dishes extremely spiced and they delivered very well. I like that they allowed BYOB, but charged a bottle uncorking fee. Unfortunately, the staff did not know how to open a wine bottle and I had to pay to open my own bottle. Not a problem. The restaurant looked clean and the seating area was a bit tight, but intimate. So far the best Asian Food/restaurant we tried in Berks. County. I only rated the restaurant 3 stars since I spent many years in Asia and it is hard to compare the dood quality versus prepared there. I will certainly be back! read more

Harassed by the Owner!!!!! Ordered from Spoonful Thai Bistro on Wednesday March 23rd via Grubhub. I saw that it was a new restaurant and I love Thai food so I wanted to support them and try something new. After no change to my order status for over 30 minutes my order was suddenly marked delivered. I walked outside and checked all my neighbors stoops to double check that the food wasn't delivered to the wrong house. When I noticed the order wasn't anywhere on my block I called the restaurant only to find out that the order was still there. The owner began to tell me that she was seeing that the order won't be picked up for another 20 to 45 minutes. She also repeatedly suggested I cancel the order and remake it with her over the phone. I felt a little uncomfortable by what she was saying and I decided to reach out to confirm with Grubhub that my delivery was still being processed. Grubhub informed me that the only thing they could do was cancel the order and refunded me. Not even 10 seconds after Grubhub cancelled the order the owner of Spoonful Thai Bistro decided that it would be appropriate for her to call and berate me for the order being cancelled. I don't write reviews ever but this is the most outlandish treatment I have ever received over a restaurant self created error. Up until the very moment that woman called me, a person who worked in the restaurant business for 10+ years, I was totally willing to let the situation go as opening/new to the industry error. But her actions were completely uncalled for. I will never step foot in that restaurant and I urge everyone else to do the same. read more
