    The Greasiest Noodles in Town

    We had 2 different noodle dishes, take out during lunchtime. The lady on the phone was nice enough, but I can't say anything remotely similar about the food. It was bland as could be and just the greasiest food I've had in a looooong time; and in Philly, that's saying a lot (I love me some hot wings!). Anyway, this food had absolutely no flavor, was waaay overpriced for the quality and it took 3 washings to get the grease off my hands; still trying to get a spot off my desk a week later.

    Think Again

    i agree with MP, this restaurant's menu is similar to one of Penang's and Banana leaf in Chinatown. The difference? Aqua's portions are smaller than the other places with no difference price. If you want your money's worth, then it's best to go to Banana leaf. Also, the food quality @ Aqua is an effort but not as good as these other places. The service was excellent though.

    Great food, great price

    Great food, especially for the price. (Not sure what MP is talking about - the food is really affordable, especially compared to the rest of the neighborhood. Also, Chinatown is north of Aqua.) Service is friendly enough, and they're generally accommodating of special orders. I can even bring my picky friends!

    Great New Place!

    As a fellow Asian, I was very pleased with Aqua. Great service, food and very clean. The atmosphere was very nice as well. The dishes are reasonably priced and well worth it. Portions are perfect, not too little and they don't over-stuff you. Definitely worth it!

    Okay

    Aqua has a trendy feel, but doesn't serve up either the service or the food quality you would expect at the price. Head west a few blocks to Chinatown for better food at half the price.

    Not Authentic

    The food is so-so and lacks authentic Thai flavor. Was eager to try this place, but ended up disappointed.

    What a find!

    The crispy spring rolls were fabulous! Wait staff was attentive, yet not in the way. Went here on a first date...perfect. A little noisy because the tables are packed in, but I expected that. I'd love to go back and try everything on the menu! Don't forget, it's a BYOB.
