One restaurant I like is "Manu's Place" in West Philly at 43rd and Walnut	I don't have the phone # off hand, but you don't need reservations.		
They have "thai" food, which is basically spicier and exotic chinese food.		
They don't have a liquor license, but you can bring your own bottle	

They place is kinda small, "quaint", and has VERY good service

The best part is that its cheap.  You can get a salad, soup and entree	
for $9   (but they also have different specials)

This place is  a real jewel compared to the egregiously overpriced 	
thai restaurants (and food trucks) throughout the rest of west philly

Very true!!! A place to avoid is that Thai restaurant on Chestnut
between 30th and 40th. The food is good but overpriced($).
I have to disagree with this crack at food trucks. The chinese
food trucks around Upenn are cheap (3-4.50$ for a meal with soda) 
and a few of them actually serve pretty good food. The best IMHO is 
Kim Sen in front of the Anneberg Center at 38th(?) and Walnut (on the
south side of Walnut). Not to be confused with the two white panel trucks 
parked in back and front of Kim Sem named Kim's. Try the Cocunut chicken.
It comes with lots of vegetables and light tasty sauce which is not 
thick and starchy like the majority of truck food sauces are.

Incidently, how are the food trucks regulated and inspected in Philadelphia?
Has anybody out there gotten sick from eating from a Chinese food
truck? I mean first hand sick, not friend of a friend kind of stories.

Sorry. No racist overtunes were meant here. What I meant to ask is
"Has anybody out there gotten sick from eating from a Chinese food truck
around Upenn". I was curious because I eat exclusively from those trucks.
