Whether you’re heating up over a Tom Sabb Salmon and Seafood Hot Pot for two, or soaking up every last drop of your massaman curry—you MUST try Moon’s Cornish Hen Casserole—with freshly-baked roti bread, you’ll be glad you made the decision to join us. Craving food from Yanako, too? You’re in luck. Check out our 3-course New Year prix fixe menu (options from Chabaa and Yanako), available for the next couple weeks!

*Both menus are for dine-in only.

When you sit down to dine at any of Nongyao “Moon” Krapugthong’s three restaurants on Main Street, it’s as if you’re sitting in a piece of art — one that she carefully selected herself. The atmosphere is clean but earthy, open yet somehow warm and welcoming. And then, there are the sounds and smells of her Thai restaurant, Chabaa Thai Bistro. They immediately transport you to Moon’s hometown, Bangkok, where she originally found her passion for food.

PHILLY.COM: Philadelphia’s international menu is as diverse as that of any big city. But Thai food is one of our weakest genres. That’s why I was pleased when one of my longtime favorite local Thai chefs, Nongyao “Moon” Krapugthong, finally reopened her Chabaa Thai Bistro, in a new Main Street location.

EXPLORE PHILLY: There can be only one. Well, actually there can be quite a few Thai food places in the city. However, our favorite place is BYOB Chabaa Thai in Manayunk especially with the take me away to Thailand design and new location at 4343 Main St. with neighboring connected lunch spot Binto for those on-the-go Thai food fix days.

On an unseasonably warm October evening, I’m enjoying refreshing sips of pandan leaf-infused iced tea and sharing easy conversation with Moon Krapugthong in her new Binto Market & Café as customers flow in and out and gentle piano music fills the air. Radiating warmth, Chef Moon is infinitely more laidback and approachable than I expected of the owner of two of the most esteemed restaurants in Manayunk—Chabaa Thai and Yanako.

THE TOWN DISH: Tenacious chef Moon Krapugthong skillfully combines plate presentations in an enchanting ambience of exquisiteness with a come-hither grocery/grab-and-go market that further propels Chabaa Thai Bistro and Binto Market & Cafe into the universe of five-star glory.
