Lousy meal here last night and not good service either. We eat Thai a lot and my wife is Lao and a good cook, so we know good Thai. This was not it. Had the green curry duck. It was over cooked. My wife had the Striped Bass and it was not fresh. Will not be back. read more

The decor and ambiance is very nice. Service was only slow before ordering, but other than that it was fine. The food was good traditional Thai food - and the soup (I think it was the Tom Yum) was such a lovely surprise. The prices were definitely reasonable, and it's also BYOB. For this area, Thaiwat is definitely the "go-to" for Thai cuisine. read more

Nice place in a strip mall , they went the extra mile with decor . The service bland and the food even blander. This was the most generic and spice-less Thai meal I have ever had. Very disappointing and hard to imagine a future visit. The decor gets 1 star and the food and service get 1 star . read more

Awful food and awful service! I ordered the lunch special of panang curry and veggie rolls. The curry was very watery and not spicy at all. When I went to remind them I ordered veggie rolls they told me they had already given me dinner portion curry so they would not get me the lunch special i ordered. Who orders dinner portion at 12 pm? I specifically ordered the lunch special and even pointed. Obviously they made the mistake and knew it but still made the customer pay for it. Very unprofessional. This will be the only and last time I'll be going there. read more

We had dinner there last evening. The best Thai food I Have had in a long time. The service was great and the food prepared perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

First off, GREAT WATER! I'm a huge water snob and that is one of the first things that contributes to my restaurant experience. I have never tried Thai cuisine before, but I had a wonderful experience here! For my entree I ordered the Chicken Swimming Rama which was essentially thin chicken breast over raw spinach in a peanut sauce (also something that I have never tried before). Our food arrived quickly (but not suspiciously quick) and was hot and fresh. I also received a side of sticky rice that went great with the peanut sauce which was tasty and not overbearing at all. The Jasmine tea had a great scent but could have been more flavorful, as it was a little bland. But still, the entire experience was very delightful, especially in regards to the service. My water glass was never empty and everyone was sweet and attentive! The prices were by no means bad, but I wouldn't call it a bargain. Overall, I would definitely go back again and would recommend to anyone who is interested in trying Thai or in trying new things! read more

Drunken noodles is awesome ... Should definitely try it.. Everything tastes better..service was good and veggie rolls tastes good

Sorry to say but if you are a big fan of Thai food, do NOT go here. The taste and quality of the food is horrible. Maybe other food on the menu may be better, but the Basil Chicken or beef dish and the Drunken Noodle were not good at all. To make matters worse, they served us spoiled steamed rice. The ladies were nice but the food was extremely distasteful. read more

We ate lunch here on a Saturday. Be advised that they don't have lunch specials on the weekend so you have to get the full meals at full meal prices. That being said the food was very good and had good flavor. We shared a shrimp in a blanket appetizer and it was served very nicely in a boat with sauce. I had the Pad Thai with chicken and tofu. It had very good flavor, a nice balance between salty and sweet with a hint of citrus overtones. The waitress was very good about customizing our orders - I have an egg allergy and they worked with me no problem. I was slightly underwhelmed with the portions. It was a nice amount, I just expected a bit more for the full meal price. On a side note, the bathrooms were also very clean and the inside was well maintained. All in all a very nice addition to the area that doesn't have nearly as much ethnic diversity as one would expect for an area of this size. read more

Thaiwat - A nicely decorated dining room with tables and booths. It was very clean and quiet. - Thai Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

Food was great. I got the fried duck breat over jade rice and my lady got the spicy drunkin noodles. Great idea for lunch or date night with that special someone. read more

One of my favorite places in the area. I've only ever ordered take out but the dining area is cute and quaint. The vegetarian jack and sue is one of my all time favorite dishes ever and the coconut sauce is amazing and the vegetables are perfectly melded. That being said I've never ventured beyond that much in the menu as after living/ traveling in Asia/Thailand I've never truly found food that compares, so haven't tried pad Thai or any other traditional dishes. Definitely satisfies any Asian food cravings though. read more

Very good Tom kha kai soup and veggie rolls. Dinners (My wife had the seafood madness and I the drunken noodles) were excellent. Good service, especially since there seemed to be only one person in the front of the house. We'll be back for sure. read more

I only got take out, but the resturant is very small. I got pad thai since that's my favorite. It was the worst ever! I could make it better from a store bought box. It was bascially chicken and noodles, without any flavor. Dish was bland and lacked color, usually it has some color from veggies! This turn me off to this resturant and haven't gone back since then. read more

I go here weekly for lunch, both take out and dine in, so I'm not your "I've tried this place one time and had a bad day, so I didn't like it", I LOVE their food. There has not been one time I was let down. The curry entrees are AMAZING, along with their Pad Thai. Staff is extremely nice too. read more

I love the coconut-curry both red and green.. can't go wrong with curry here

Average Thai eat out in Berks, quality of rice dishes are not that typical Thai expectations...

14 of us had dinner there tonight. We were all very pleased. Our food was excellent and the staff was very helpful. We brought an anniversary cake and they accommodated us. The restaurant is very clean and there are no annoying tv's on. Music was nice and in the background. We didn't have to compete to talk. We will be going back. Thanks a bunch! read more

My favorite Thai place by far! Wonderful food, perfectly spiced and seasoned. Very clean plating and seating. Love it here!

Their food and service is impeccable! Very delicious and good portions. Nice and quiet atmosphere

Our favorite Thai restaurant in the area. Friendly staff, ample seating and a variety of great dishes. It's also BYOB. Be sure to try the crispy duck, it's one of my favorite duck dishes, Thai or not. read more

Best Place for Thai in the area. Food here is excellent (we recommend Evil Jungle Princess, Drunken Noodles, Chicken Pad Thai and Penang Curry). Service is consistently good and prices are very reasonable. read more

We love it here!!!! Best service, BYOB, and delicious Thai cuisine. One of my top favorite restaurants in Berks County!

Not the best Thai food I have ever had but a good option considering location. Their beef basil and drunken noodles are good; however the portion sizes are small relative to the price. overall this is a good option if you're craving Thai food! read more

I love their lunch special ... Especially the green curry ... So much flavor and perfect portion for me. I usually order at least two lunch special because the price is reasonable ..$6.95 for a soup or app and a half portion entree. My favorite dishes are the green curry, tom yum soup and the pineapple fried rice read more

I got pad thai and it was very sad. Shrimp wasn't really fresh and the sauce was very watery and tasteless. Pad Thai is my favorite asian dish and they didnt even come close. The waitress couldn't understand me at all and didnt really care to help me much. Ill never go back. read more

I'd go to Mikura or Zhuang's Garden for Thai before I'd go here again. The only descent dish I ever got here was the Panang Curry. The PadThai and Drunken Noodles were poor tasting and skimped on any meat. I like the location & atmosphere. I really wish I had more positive things to say about the food. read more

Got pad Thai here once and it was horrible. Tasteless and nothing but noodles. Total waste of money and time. Service was horrible too. Took probably 10 mins for anyone to know I was even there. Should of left in that ten mins they gave me. read more

Thaiwat is truly a hidden gem. It's location is deceptive to how wonderful it truly is. It's quiet, which I love, I know sometimes people find it to be off putting when they're in a restaurant hat only has a few guests. I've been here a few time and most recently I ordered the Tom Yum Talay (hot and sour soup with seafood) and the drunken noodles. The soup, notably the broth, is fantastic. It's light but packs some powerful flavor. The drunken noodles are a go to, but I would recommend the "evil jungle princess" which my friend had, it was the perfect combination of veggies and meat in a delectable sauce. I know the service is minimal but I do lean towards that as my preference. The server, who is also the hostess, is present at all times but don't expect her to continually check on you. Coming from philly, I've missed authentic Thai food dearly. I've found what I've been missing in Thaiwat. Not only is the food great but the menu also includes a little story of the history and the meaning behind the name. There's also a page describing the spices and flavors used in Thai cuisine. I also appreciate that not only do they have their traditional dishes but they also offer variations and vegetarian options. read more

Server at Thaiwat changed the tip amount on my receipt from a $3 to an $8.. Reported it to my bank and received the credit. For $5.00 Thiawat has lost my future business. Anyway its cheeper to go to a chinese buffet or get chinese take out. read more

Been here a few times. Food is decent as is service. Some visits are better than others. Overall impression is OK and portions are small for the price for Berks County. I prefer Thai Cuisine in Muhlenberg - more flavorful, more ambiance, more friendly and more food. read more

I won't be back. The portions were terribly small, salad overdressed and bitter w/ way too much lime juice, entree noodles overcooked (precooked, reheated?), chicken, what little there was, overcooked (precooked???), over spiced, and yes, I love spicy food but not to the point that's all there is. VERY small portions, chipped dishes, dirty menu, dirty floor. Horribly disappointed. No excuse, not at all crowded on a Friday lunch (3 tables), now I know why. The waitress was very good, service prompt and polite. What a shame. read more
