Thai Wat Restaurant

This place is conveniently located in a shopping plaza, and they seem to have a lot of to-go orders. We really enjoyed the fish cake appetizer. The Tom Yum Noodle Soup was a bit different than I expected—the broth wasn’t as sour, but it had great flavor. I wasn’t a big fan of the rice noodles they used, though. The Evil Jungle Princess was perfectly cooked and packed with bold, exotic flavors. The service was great too. I can’t wait to go back and try more.

I’ve been to quite a few Thai restaurants over the years, and they’ve almost always delivered when it came to flavor and quality. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about my visit to Thai Wat in Reading. I went with a large group and we ordered around 10 different appetizers and main dishes, so this isn’t based on just one plate. Overall, the food just didn’t land for me or anyone in our group. The service was fine and the atmosphere was nice enough, but the flavors were lacking across the board. The one highlight was the chicken curry puff — it was flavorful and well done. But the veggie rolls tasted frozen, the dumplings were underwhelming, and the Tom Yum soup was just okay. I had high hopes for the Panang curry, but it was heavy on beans and light on flavor. Portion sizes were also

Thaiwat had an online special on curry this week so I decided to give it a try... I ordered the traditional green curry in coconut milk with bamboo shoots, green bean, red pepper and fresh basil with tofu and steam noodles - spicy level 5. The taste of the food was excellent and the portion was fair for the pricing. The flavor was complex but fully balanced. The highest spice level was just right - I think much of anything less would potentially be a bit too bland. The lips tingled a little bit from the spice but nothing felt like it was burning or painful. Quite excellent flavor, really. The staff was very friendly when I picked the food up and it was hot and ready at the scheduled time. Ample parking in the shopping center and handicap spots nearby. I'd be happy to visit again.

We have been coming to this restaurant for many years and we love it. The staff are so friendly and the food is delicious. Their Tom Kha soup is so good and the Vegetable Lover entre is one I get a lot. The Thai Tea is a treat to enjoy. You really need to give it a try.

I recently ordered takeout from Thai Wat and was blown away by the quality of the food and the excellent vegetarian options. I ordered the mixed veggie & tofu options which included drunken noodles, pad thai, and basil fried rice, along with some veggie rolls to start. I ordered all the items at level 3 spicy, and they did not disappoint. All the dishes were amazing, especially the Basil fried rice which was bursting with flavor. The Drunken noodles and Pad thai were also outstanding, with just the right amount of spice. The Veggie rolls were decent but not particularly memorable, although they were a nice appetizer. What really stood out to me about Thai Wat was their willingness to accommodate substitutions for vegetarians. As a vegetarian myself, I always appreciate restaurants that mak
