Thai Wat Restaurant - Reading

As a self-proclaimed foodie, I am always using Google to seek out the best restaurants in every area. I wanted to share a recommendation with you in case you are looking for a new spot to try. Overall, I would give this place a rating of 8.6 out of 10. We got the Drunken noodle level 3 spice and it was pretty good. Worth checking out if you are in the area. Price is fair and if you are dining it they are BYOB. Let me know if you check it out!

I usually love coming here but today was a little disappointing I decided to try something new and I did not like it at all it tasted like warm lime water with cream it was not pleasant at all. I had the coconut soup with chicken and it was not good at all. The server also took a long time to come to our table for our orders and it was awkward ordering with her…. The mango sticky is delicious but they charge too much for what they give you. I usually get pad see ew, the duck dishes, psd thai, drunken noodles, mango sticky rice those you can never go wrong with here.

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 disappointing, especially considering the price. For a $300 bill for 10 people, I expected a better experience in terms of both quality and quantity. This just wasn’t a meal I’d come back for. There are better Thai spots out there that offer more for your money and your palate. We also had basil fried rice, drunken noodles, and tofu curry. Sadly, none of those dishes stood out either. It just w

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.

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.
