Since Covid lock down, we've only had delivery and very rare mistakes or something forgotten. BUT... they are professional and get great food, either with pickup or delivery.

Prior to Covid this was my go-to place for Thai food. The restaurant itself no longer exists, boxes of supplies take up where the seats once were and the quality of the food has taken a nose dive.

Unfortunately this is the worst thai ive ever had. Absolutely zero flavor, for both appetizers and main. Ordered a stirfry that was full of onion, carrots and 2 chunks of a tomato? WTH. Who puts tomato in a stirfry? Where are the rest of the vegetables ie greens/ peppers ? For the price of $18 or so for a single dish i did not get my moneys worth. No customers which is usually an indicator of a not so good restaurant. Lesson learned.

First time doing pickup here. We had quit coming here more than a few years ago, when there was a chef change. Either the old one came back, or he trained someone else and sent them here, because the food is great again. Prad kaprow sauce isn't thin and oily like most other places, my wife finally had panang curry she liked, and the larb is simultaneously flaming hot and full of flavor.

This has become my go-to spot! I'm thrilled that they've opened for dine-in. The flavors are fantastic, and the service, especially from the friendly lady, adds to the wonderful experience. Excellent food and service—I'll definitely be returning!

This used to be my favorite Thai restaurant, food was great, nice little family place to grab and enjoy a good meal, used to recommend it to anyone looking for good Thai food. I am not sure what happened after the pandemic but they are only pick up (they are still closed for sitting) and the food was not bad but terrible. I do not know if they sold the place and it's under different owners but after 3 tries and driving to pick up my order (l don't live close but I really wanted it to be like it used to be) I finally gave up. Bad food, bad quality, ordering inside the place smells stuffed, no AC and in complete disarray. After a lot of searching I'm glad I found Thai Square Restaurant on Columbia Pike.

Man, inflation must be hitting hard. Drunken noodles with chicken had maybe a tablespoon of chicken in it, and one basil leaf. Rest was just noodles, that tastes super off. Tom Kha soup was off, like bland ... no flavor. No galangal or lemongrass (and it's the name of the restaurant?!?)Every single thing was disappointing. And 2 mains, 2 soups, and a spring roll (3pcs) cost me ~$70. Hopefully this was a fluke, but we'll never know. Not ordering from here ever again.

Food was spice but no flavor also the food is soooo over priced for how little you get. Service was ok. I just ordered it on online so I did get to see the ambience. I don't recommend this restaurant AT ALL.

Im very honest in my reviews and will not be coming back unfortunately. I ordered pad see ew with shrimp. It cost me 18.90 which would be fine if it was tasty or had a lot of food. It was only 6 shrimp that were very small and wildly over cooked and all noodles. Barley any veggies. I have no problem if you’re going to cook without passion but don’t serve poor street food quality at high end prices. The lady was very nice so I don’t want to give them one star but I will be looking for other Thai restaurants in the future

Used to be our favorite place. Never recovered after COVID. Still don't have an open dining room. Can't proceed past the front door. Reduced the menu and have boxes of stuff scattered all around the dining room. No AC. If you focus only on take out now. How can you have health violations?

Came here on a Friday at 12:15pm and the restaurant was closed. We were very disappointed because we were ready to have some Thai food for lunch. There was no information posted indicating that they would be closed.The sign on the door (and information online) all pointed to the restaurant being opened at this time. Really disappointed, wish they would have provided notice regarding their true operating hours.

I discovered this little family owned restaurant ~23 years ago. It was great - a 5 star. A few years ago, it was sold to another family and they changed the recipes. Now the dishes are not as good as they used to be. The new owners cut corners on the ingredients. For instance, the original owner's version of the Tom Kha Gai soup included Paddy Straw Mushrooms. Now the current owners add sliced US button mushrooms, which do not have the same texture and flavor. Please don't skimp on the flavors. Please charge more if you have to and give us the flavor and authentic ingredients.recipetips.com/glossary-…

Since I like traditional Thai with a custom touch, I do notice after a while that they know me and what I order. "Spicy, raw tofu, extra sauce" sounds very simple. Simple is not available everywhere. They are beautiful people and they do a beautiful job.

Their food is delicious, their Thai curry is my favorite! I️ also appreciate being able to pick how hot I️ like it. I️’ve been here multiple times and have never been disappointed.Vegetarian options: They offer tofu and vegetable dishes.Parking: Lots of free parking available.

Not sure I’ll recommend this place to anyone. The lady seems nice but the food was terrible. No flavor whatsoever. This is my first time ever writing a food review. I usually let it slide but this was bad I had to say something. I spent $50 and I had to give the food away to someone else. The assorted fried rice was the worst.
