50 Best Thai Restaurants near Takoma Park

“Served our multi-generational family of 6 delicious food at super speed on a Friday night with the most attentive & kind staff. Our party sampled the menu, having both sushi & Thai food. The vegetarian maki rolls were out of this world. The pad Thai delighted our pickiest family member. Everything was totally delicious. Highly recommend, perfect place to bring the kids & grandparents.“

“I have not only travelled to Thailand, but studied Thai cuisine and also attended cooking classes. This place is the REAL DEAL!!!! Not your run of the mill pad thai place. More northern cuisine if you are familiar with it, think Chang Mai. Everything is out of this world, great bar and drinks, friendly and warm staff that attends to your every need.“

“I chose this establishment for my first Thai food experience, I had drunken noodles, egg rolls and Crab Rangoon. Everything was delicious and I’ll be making a return trip for sure.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options on the menu and the waitress will also ask if you would like it vegetarian.“

“I was contemplating between 4 and 5 stars here. I wish yelp had 'half stars.' Take out: I've ordered take out from here twice and have been very pleased with my experience both times. I had the pad see ew and spicy eggplant. Both were very good. Dine in: I came in for lunch yesterday and had a good experience. I ordered a Thai tea and pad Thai noodles. The Thai tea was delicious and the pad Thai was also very good. The pad Thai did taste slightly burnt but not so much so that i didn't enjoy the dish. Pad Thai 4/5 Thai tea: 5/5 Ambiance: clean. Service: good. It wasn't busy so there's one FOH person. He handled front desk, serving and to go orders just fine. He checked on me throughout my time there. Menu: they do NOT have a lunch menu. I read from previous yelpers that they ordered off the lunch menu, but unfortunately they don't have a lunch menu anymore. Other: i came in to eat and work, but right now they do not have WiFi. I was able to use my hotspot just fine. I will be back to try other menu items as i have enjoyed everything I've eaten so far.“

“We went to check out the new Padaek in Arlington after having been to the Falls Church location a few times. This one is nice, service is amazing, and the food is good. Buuuuuuttttt, it's different...I like my food spicy, and knew to order it "Lao spicy". When it arrived at the table, I could see that it just had a bunch of chilis added. This gives it a bit of spice, but is more like a level 3 out of 5. It was just lacking the heat as when ordering spicy at the other location. Obviously, they don't want to overwhelm their guests with spice, but if you're asking for that level of heat, you obviously want it. Oh well...it's good, and the flavors are tasty...but the other location feels more authentic.“

“I am visiting DC and will back to SURA for sure. Fun, great food and service. Went for happy hour, which was a plus. Can't say enough how good the food was. See you next year on our yearly visit to DC. The price per person did include “

“Make no mistake - this is the Padaek location to go to if you have a choice, not the Arlington one. The Arlington one is significantly closer to my place but I always end up making the trek out to Falls Church because the OG location is simply better. Recommendations: the Naem Khao rice salad is crispy, crunchy, savory and delicious - I recommend getting it with the tofu, even if you're a meat eater like I am. I order the Ping with pork shoulder literally every time, because it's a fantastically heaped plate of seared meat with a nice mildly spicy dipping sauce. It also comes with a bag of tasty sticky rice that makes a low-carb eater like me abandon my low-carbness, at least for one meal. Padaek Falls Church will always be on my list of places to take out of towners.“

“Thai food is slowly but surely becoming my favorite cuisine and I'm on a mission to try it wherever I travel! This wonderfully colorful atmosphere gives you a warm hug as you gorge down Thai Tea and some fluffy D.U.I (drunken) noodles! Warning: they give you HUGE portions!! I ate it all anyways.. :-))“

“UPDATE: We've had a few let downs with the take out and don't order nearly as frequently anymore. Nothing terrible, but just not as good as it used to be.Original: A staple of my take-out habit. Consistently delicious. Great place for a date.“

“Akeno is my new favorite sushi spot! Not only is the food amazing, but the people that own and run it are the kindest, most appreciative people I have ever met! We get great service, the ambiance is perfect and we have fun with the staff. If the truffle salmon is on the specials menu, do yourself a favor and ORDER IT! You can thank me later.“

“The chicken Khao Soi was delicious and easily the star of their menu. Staff were super understanding of my family being in a rush and made sure to get us everything we needed in a very timely manner. The restaurant itself is cute and a very cozy spot for lunch in dupont.“

“Just tried this new Thai restaurant and omg it was DELISH! We broke from our usual pattern of Thai dishes (pad thai and pad see ew) and tried the 100 Islands Seafood and full Branzino. Absolutely yummy and savory. We also had the meatballs and corn fritters as apps and the fried ice cream. We are stuffed and everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Definitely recommend this place! They have a big menu that offers the usual fare plus dishes familiar to the Thai town of Donsak (where the owner is from). Also such a cute little spot with great drinks! Five stars for sure!“

“Beautiful Atmosphere! The thai art is at authentic and it is shipped in from Thailand! The time art clock is a must see And there is a realtor Tuk Tuk inside the restaurant!Vegetarian options: Most dishes are vegan and must add a meat selection.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and keto friendlyKid-friendliness: Kids would love the art!Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible!“

“I had the fried chicken fried rice and my friend had the drunken noodles. Both were generous portions and a good value. The food came out quickly and services were excellent the entire time, that glass of water was never left empty for long! I highly recommend this place!“

“I found this place one night when I was walking up the street. They were closed for the evening and I made a mental note to return. Sure enough, the next evening I was there. The food is delicious. I had the Pad See Ew. The hot, broad rice noodles, with Chinese broccoli, and chicken were just what I needed on a cold, rainy night. There was a slight spice to it. I wanted to steer clear of too spicy. The menu offers Thai and Sushi. I believe there are some Asian-fusion dishes? There were many things I wanted to try. The Cousins were friendly and helpful. I look forward to returning and trying more dishes.“

“Undoubtedly, this is the best Thai restaurant in the DMV. They consistently serve the most authentic Thai dishes with exceptional taste and flavors. I have no complaints and highly recommend this place to everyone!Food: Endless menu items and delicious. They offer familiar Thai dishes like Pad Thai and papaya salad and unfamiliar Thai dishes that other places don't have. What I like most about their food is that they use authentic spices and recipes that are close to the original taste.Ambiance: Cozy and warm. The place is decorated with nostalgic Thai elements from childhood snacks, etc.Service: Top-notch professional waitresses that go above and beyond.“

“Food was really good. Atmosphere was casual, decor a bit weird. Prices were ok - not great. Service was not necessarily friendly, but attentive and fast. There was a good amount of parking, but a lot of traffic made the lot hard to navigate.“

“Came here once by chance, and ended up daydreaming about the food for another month until I could make it back. Super clean and great service too. Best spring rolls I've ever had. Crab Rangoons were big and delightful. Great Thai tea with a beautiful color. Banana egg rolls so fun to eat with an amazing fragrance, and the Bulgogi Sandwich was so savory and huge. The portions on everything are beyond fair (I couldn't even close my sandwich box). Service had awesome attitude. 6 stars if I could?“

“Duangrats is first in class in every category. We are loyal costumers as they are consistently outstanding in food and customer service.Vegetarian options: Those without meat protein.Dietary restrictions: They have plenty of vegetarian options.Parking: Lots of parking on site.Kid-friendliness: Have taken our children and grandchildren fir a birthday party. When I brought a cake they took it from me and served it to 17 of us. Very impressed with their service and genuine kindness.Wheelchair accessibility: Always park right in front and have easy access.“

“I recently discovered a hidden gem of a Thai restaurant in Arlington, Virginia, and it exceeded my expectations. Intrigued by the chef’s recommendation, I tried the Kuay Teaw Koow Gai, a delightful noodle dish. The flavors were exceptional, and if you’re seeking authentic Thai cuisine, I highly recommend this place for a delicious culinary experience.“

“What a place. Humble and kind owner greets you and walks you to your table. One of 8 in this small, unassuming and fantastic establishment. Traditional Thai menu, we had 4 apps and 3 main dishes. Everything was outstanding. Washed down with $5 Sapporo. Wow. Highly recommend you give it a try.“

“We love this spot for Sunday lunch after church. Tasty food, good portions, and great service.Parking: Depending on time of day & day of the week, but usually street parking on the surrounding streetsKid-friendliness: Easy for kids but maybe older than four or five years old.“

“Isshin has one of the BEST service in Adams Morgan. May is the woman who always helps me. I think she’s the manager. She keeps that place running swiftly and smoothly. During the pandemic, Isshin made every effort to keep their place sanitized and customers safe by using PPE and placing hand sanitizers all around. The staff works super fast to get meals ready for you. They always go above and beyond to offer excellent service. I had to order spicy shrimp rice and I was going to arrive close to closing time, May kept Isshin open until I arrived (5 mins late) to pick up my food. I only live 3 blocks away but once I was not able to pick up my food from Isshin. May immediately said, “if you live close, I’ll deliver for you.” And she did just that and as usual with a very pleasant demeanor and genuine smile. May and her team at Isshin make this restaurant one of the best in Adams Morgan. Thank you May and Isshin!!!“

“Just came here for lunch with a coworker and the place was completely empty. I think part of it was because we did come a little early (11:40am-ish), but left at 12:30pm and still no other people ate inside. There were people picking up orders or door-dash deliveries, etc. In any case, we sat down and the service was very fast and courteous. I ordered the Pad See Ewe and it arrived promptly (and super hot too!). The portions were decent and our water was filled once. It was super quiet, so not sure how the vibe is on a Friday or Saturday night. When we paid, the waitress (who I think may have been the owner?) arrived with a ipad where we simply tapped our credit cards and put in a tip. NGL, I like to tip in cash, so I preemptively took out my cash to show the waitress I was not going to forget tipping her, all the while I tapped "no tip" - even though I did tip her! Haha. Overall, a great lunch spot and I will definitely come back here. My only thing I would comment is that there are not a lot of parking spots in front of the restaurant.“

“I love Beau Thai — it’s my Mt. Pleasant neighborhood go-to for takeout. The food is really good (especially the pumpkin red curry when it’s in season) and the people who work there are so nice! I accidentally ordered pickup from the wrong location today and they kindly remade the order for me here.“

“I absolutely love this new Thai place at Harrison Street! I got takeout recently and ordered a handful of items new to me--I particularly enjoyed the "Ped Grob Pad Gra Pow" (or crispy honey duck with basil). I also got some of the classics including Pad Thai which were great. When I arrived for pickup, I was the only one there but a few others arrived also to pickup. It appeared to be a husband-wife-duo running the establishment and they both came out to say hi and were extremely friendly and helpful. I only had to wait a few minutes for a very large order. I will most definitely be going back!“

“Best Thai restaurant in Falls Church by far. The food is always warm and prepared deliciously. When dining in, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the hosts are very attentive and kind. Never had any issues with ordering online either. I recommend this place to anyone who wants amazing Thai food in NoVA.“

“First time we tried to come here it was a Friday evening and there was a 30+ min wait. However, there was plenty of seating around 530 on a Tuesday. Nice atmosphere and we found everything to be very worth the price.I am usually not a big fan of tofu, but their fried tofu in the Pad Thai was very tasty. The Khao Soi wasn't my favorite in the area, but it was still very good. Plus, I have found most places give 1 piece of chicken and this place gave double, at a comparable or lower price than the others, so I felt it was well worth it. The Papaya Salad was refreshing and the glaze on the Spicy Catfish was very delicious. Can recommend all those dishes.Service was more than adequate and the food came out quickly. The only minor negative was I found their rice to be a bit soggy/sticky. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that or they just used too much water this time. Overall, I would recommend coming here. Great food at a very reasonable price.“

“Regent is the best Thai food in DC. It’s our neighborhood spot but if it wasn’t we’d travel for it. When friends come from out of town it’s where we take them.I keep coming back so I’ll keep updating this review but for 2 years it’s been a go to and it’s been absolutely delicious every time. Regent Thai Cuisine, I love!“

“The food is really good, and the service is friendly and fast, but the decor/ambience feel a bit dated, or cheaper than average. From the tabletops to the plates and silverware , most things around you feel on the cheaper side, which is a shame, especially when the food is that good.“

“I had a light dinner...green salad and curry puffs. The curry puffs melt in your mouth and the salad is almost too beautiful to eat! Excellent service...and speedy since I was on a dinner break from work. I'll definitely dine in again.“

“I love this place! It's intimate, not huge and impersonal: so the staff really look out for their customers, who are very friendly. The Pad Thai is the best in town. I especially love their curries! Most of all, the dishes are authentic. I know: I've been to most of the Thai restaurants in the area. I even introduced my girlfriend to Thai food in this restaurant, and she loved it! The ambiance is delightful, very relaxing. The Convention Center is just a block away, so definitely check this place out if you've had a busy day there! I'm a Lyft driver and I tell all my tourist passengers to try this place out. Once I picked up the same passenger and they told me themselves that it was one of the best Thai restaurants they've been to.“

“Visited for dinner alone and sat at the bar. Cocktails were great, food was decent, but the service could have been a bit more welcoming.Servers were very nice, but as I finished the cocktail and appetizer I had ordered to start, the waitstaff started asking if I wanted the bill before I had the chance to review the menu for my entree order.Instead of feeling taken care of, it felt a bit like I was being rushed through my meal and to pay the bill so they could turn my spot over.“

“So tasty, what a gem!! I ordered the CURRY LAKSA NOODLE Soup, pictured. It can be all plant based - I asked for mushrooms, spinach and broccoli to be added/substituted for the chicken, and with no hesitation they accommodated me! I'm so pleased with this Union Station fast casual option, located on the second level. If you take the stairs opposite the Amtrak ticket counter, you'll find it with big open air seating. This dish also includes tofu, vegetables, rice sticks & egg noodle combination in a coconut curry broth, with bean sprouts, fresh! green beans, and corn. Amazing, and spicy warm. They have non spicy foods, too. I'll upload the current menu.“

“I ordered door dash from here because I was craving Thai food but I wanted to try a new spot ! They did not disappoint. I got the drunken noodles and it was sooooo good and flavorful. And for dessert I tried the taro roti. I fell in loveeee so crispy and the center taste amazing and not too sweet !! Definitely can’t wait to order again !!“

“Our go-to for the best Thai food in the area!! Everything is fresh, flavorful and delicious. The decor is modern and comfortable. We particularly like sitting in the booths.We generally have a good service there, but the last time we went with a party of 5. The waitress added an automatic 20% gratuity and then was incredibly slow and curt. We literally sat for 20 minutes before she even greeted us. Then we sat for another 15 minutes before she took our drink order. After waiting another 15 minutes we had to hunt her down to take our food order and then later for the check. It was the slowest meal I’ve ever had anywhere. Thankfully, the food was still delicious and we weren’t in a hurry, so I didn’t feel the need to complain. :)Parking: We parked in the garage right next to the restaurant for $6 flat. If you are facing the front door of resto, garage is immediately to the right. The street is one way, so have to turn onto it before the restaurant.“

“Everything was great and nice! Walked in on a Friday night and was seated immediately. Water arrived as we sat at that was impressive. Chicken meatballs for an appetizer, hot and coated with a crunchy batter. My wife got drunken noodles with beef, and it was a large portion of both! I got the fried chili pork belly, which was a lot of crunchy fried pork belly bits mixed with peppers and the like, really good.“

“I tried the tofu pad see ew and it was amazing! Great flavor! The waitstaff was very kind and attentive!Dietary restrictions: They had very clear outlines of vegetarian options, and I was able to ask for them to not include eggs to make the dish vegan friendly. They also offer vegetable and tofu as options for their dishes.“

“Hands down the best Chinese cuisine I ever had. Got the orange chicken for lunch and it was delicious. Ate every bite. Authentically made and made with love, sweet tangy and savory. And of course the fried rice was delicious. They get a 10/10 from me. I ordered pickup and it was only 15 minutes from the time I placed my order. Very friendly and nice. Might have to get it again for lunch tomorrow!“

“Thai Treasure is a culinary gem that shines brightly in the constellation of local eateries. This isn't just another Thai restaurant; it's a vibrant homage to the rich tapestry of Thai cuisine, served up in a modern setting that's as inviting as a warm smile. With service that makes you feel like royalty, it's no wonder this place has become a treasure trove for those in search of flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Thailand.Our culinary expedition began with the Crab Rangoon, a playful yet sophisticated take on the classic appetizer. The delicately crispy pouches served with a side of sweet & sour sauce were a surprisingly great way to start the meal, much better than what we typically think of. It's a dish that says, "Welcome to flavor town, population: you."Then came the Lava Beef, a dish so sizzling, it could melt even the coldest of hearts. The combination of beef, onion, bell peppers, and pineapple, all lovingly tossed in a honey pepper sauce and kissed by sesame oil, was a sweet and savory ballet that pirouetted right onto our taste buds. It wasn't just hot; it was volcanic, in the best possible way.The journey continued with Pad Kee Mao, also known as Drunken Noodles. This dish, with its wide rice noodles, onion, bell peppers, tomato, and basil, was like a late-night adventure in Bangkok--bold, spicy, and utterly unforgettable. It's the kind of dish that makes you want to dance in the rain, or at least order another round.Speaking of rounds, the Panang Chicken Curry was a knockout. The spicy, rich curry, infused with the zest of kaffir lime and studded with bell peppers and broccoli, was a masterclass in balance and flavor. It was like a hug from an old friend who just happens to be a Thai spice merchant--warm, comforting, and slightly spicy.And let's not forget the cocktails and classic beverages, a liquid odyssey that's as daring as it is delicious. Thai Treasure's beverage menu is a treasure map that leads to bliss, with each drink more inventive and refreshing than the last. It's the perfect complement to a meal that's already overflowing with flavor and fun.In essence, Thai Treasure is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Thai culture, cuisine, and conviviality. With its modern vibe, exceptional service, and a menu that's both adventurous and authentic, it's a place where every meal feels like a fantastic discovery.“

“New to the area, and was eager to find a local Thai spot. Had the pad se ew and crab fried rice delivered, and boy was it delicious. Not too fishy on the crab, which I certainly appreciated. Will easily be ordering from this place again. Thank you!“

“It's close to home, so this is the place I go when I want Thai food! It doesn't feel like the portions are small, but the staff is friendly and since I don't like vegetables, I always ask for them to be omitted, and they listen to my requests :) I always order Pad Kra Pao, but the regular flavor isn't that spicy, so if you like spicy food, order spicier. suggestion!“

“This is our local neighborhood Thai restaurant. It's a small restaurant with consistently delicious food! We come her once every few months, usually for lunch. We started with the spring rolls and yum beau yang (sliced steak salad). Both were great! Spring rolls were nice and crispy. The dressing on the steak salad is so good, tangy with a little spice) that I wish they would sell it in bottles! We shared the pad talay and pad sa ew with chicken. The pad sa ew and pad Thai are my go to there, and are both excellent!“

“we visited this place on 3/15/24 it was a short walk from out hotel. small quiet clean place. the server/hostess lady was very nice. she answered all our questions about ingredients in a couple dishes and made recommendations. service was very fast only a few mins between when 1 course was done until the next one arrived. the food was so flavorful and rich every bite was an explosion of flavor. probably one of the best asian noodle dishes ive ever had. i recommend the drunken noodles the spice level was perfect.Vegetarian options: all the dishes have a vegetarian or meat options very accommodating.“

“Delicious food (tender squid for example), ok speed (when in a hurry for theatre!), but service with a grumpy face in a super noisy environment. They have a huge patio (noise level outside is better; able to chat). Soft shell crab is great (sauce comes on the side so the crispy crab doesn't become soggy).Ginger lover seafood is also wonderful. The whole place was full at its seams on a Thursday night. Lots of guests in suits, probably the people working in nearby government offices. Tables and chairs aren't the best (may need attention) but the whole ambiance is casual so I guess in the end, thanks to relatively fast service, all is well that ends well.“

“I ordered takeout on a Friday night the customer service was great. The interior had a lot of the dining room area blocked off with tables similar to something you would see during covid restrictions so there's limited seating. But the place was fairly busy. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and promptly given my food that I ordered. The problem that I had was that the Thai chicken fried rice should really be called Thai onion and chicken fried rice. I had the biggest slices of onion in my Thai chicken fried rice! I have never had that much onion! Thick long pieces of onion throughout my dish. Some of my carrots were crunchy. I picked out most of the onions and ate the dish. That was the only con. One of the pros is that I got three spring rolls! I was really happy with that as I've never received three spring rolls and really appreciate that because I love them. If I try this place again I think I might try one of the curry dishes and of course order the spring rolls again. Over all 4 stars.“

“I first started dining at Sala Thai restaurant back in 2018 at the Minnesota Ave location, where I instantly fell in love with their chef fried rice and crispy calamari, among other menu items. When I moved to NE, I made the Rhode Island Row location my new go-to spot and have been a regular visitor ever since, indulging in their delicious Thai iced tea and sushi rolls almost daily. My absolute favorite dish is the Mei Fun (without pork or seafood), and I also enjoy their tofu with spicy basil fried rice, curry puffs, spring rolls, and an assortment of specialty rolls. Lately, I've noticed a significant improvement in their interior, menu offerings, and the quality of service, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend paying them a visit for a delightful culinary experience.“

“I'm loyal to this place. The only place in SE DC that makes delicious real Thai food. They cater to my food intolerance and allergies.Dietary restrictions: Simply let them know about any food allergies and intolerance so they may accommodate you or make recommendations.“

“Fantastic hole in the wall right in our back yard. Stumbled on this place last week and then went back 3 days later. The food is incredible, portions generous, prices reasonable and staff is kind. Other places, the Pad Thai is dry but Thai Thai uses a lot of very flavorful sauce on theirs! Clearly run by a family with their own recipes.“

“Well, I ordered green curry, tom yum vegetable soup, and garden spring rolls. I put a special note asking for the green curry to made *extra* spicy and that I loved spicy and oh boy did they deliver. Weild caution making such requests haha but I've loved it. I got it with tofu, and for the record, love too how they made the tofu, it's super tasty,As for the veggie rolls, I found the rice paper wrapper thicker than what I'm used to, a bit gummy, and the peanut sauce--while having more texture than most others--def erring on the, "too sweet," end for me,The soup tasted like it was made with some sort of oyster or fish sauce, not saying that happened (and I'm not vegetarian despite how I'm presenting) and I didn't particularly like that myself, but seriously still good. That was less spicy than I was expecting. Regardless, all in all...Really good!!! I'd recommend this joint.Vegetarian options: I'm not vegetarian but like a lot of vegetarian food. Easy to order from this place for that.“
