"Finalist for best chef @kalayaphilly Philly, PA Amazing fresh scallops jumbo prawns deep Thai flavors that I've missed for a long time! Chef Chutatip “Nok” Suntaranon ensures authentic Thai flavors by not allowing any substitutions or changes in spiciness. They make the curry paste powders in house and prawns are caught straight from the rivers of Thailand Some flavors dishes were SPOT ON like the scallop curry, Khao yum tossed salad with dried shrimp fish, shrimp crab pork siu mai, stir fried cabbage. Some were lacking a bit of flavor or depth like the black pepper beef and prawn vermicelli it needed a bit more umami garlic. I would almost think a char grilled soy fish sauce lemongrass beef would bring out more from the steak Overall a good experience. Got faked into the salad that was marked a 1 level spice that should've been a 5 level (my level . I ended up eating most of it 100% try the scallop though, I dream about it sometimes!"

The food was amazing!!! Our server, Katherine was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. We had appetizers, main dishes and desert. I would totally recommend the scallop curry and crab fried rice. Everything we had was exquisite.

This was a fantastic meal. Large portions meant for sharing were great. The flower dumplings were incredibly eye-catching and equally delicious. The staff were excellent and will help you decide so don't be afraid to chat with them. A pleasantly different experience than a traditional dinner. View menu

This restaurant truly gives you a taste of Thailand. The food is amazing, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Just a heads-up, the dishes can be a bit spicy, but there are quite a few options available. The ambiance is fairly traditional, though it does come off as a bit messy and could use some improvement. Additionally, I find the prices to be on the higher side considering what you get. For these reasons, I would rate it 4 stars.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. As adventurous eaters, my girlfriend and I chose to let our waitress, Kelly, take the lead, and she did an incredible job creating a wonderful dining experience for us. While the prices might seem high at first, considering the generous portion sizes meant for sharing, along with the high-quality ingredients and delicious flavors, they are quite reasonable. This is a great place, and I would gladly return to explore more of their intriguing menu.

We ordered the massaman beef curry, the renowned crab dish they’re famous for, which was served with rice, and some stir-fried vegetables. Everything was absolutely delectable. Since our bill exceeded $100, our server kindly gave us a $30 coupon for our next visit, so we’re definitely planning to return soon with more friends! All the dishes are designed to be shared, so I highly recommend bringing along a group. Just a quick tip: when making a reservation, keep in mind that a $20 deposit per person is required, but this amount is refunded after your meal. View menu

It’s wonderful to have Kalaya back! The food is unique, delicious, and the portions are generous. The owner even commented on our order, saying, “that’s too much food,” and she was absolutely right. We felt very safe while dining there. You order by downloading the menu, making your selections, and then paying efficiently and securely. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Philadelphia. They don't serve water, so you need to purchase a bottle, which is another measure for safety. This might also help keep costs down, but it’s not an issue at all. Just be aware that the dishes can be quite spicy for some, and there’s no adjustment to the spice level—the food is served exactly as the chef...
