The quality of food at Thai Square seems to have diminished over time. Despite multiple visits in the hope of improvement, I've consistently been disappointed. It appears there might have been a change in the kitchen staff. Specifically, the Chicken Pad Thai suffers from an excessive amount of sauce, which gives it an artificial flavor.Regrettably, I find myself unable to give them further opportunities.

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.

Had dinner at Thai Square at the suggestion of a jeweler down the street who said it was "a small, family-owned" Thai restaurant. I erroneously interpreted that to mean that they actually prepared as in "home cooking". The appetizer fried calamari turned out to be frozen, square, heavily breaded "white, chewy" body chunks that had been fried in cheap, old vegetable oil (based on the smell), and the fried spring rolls were casings filled with vermicelli (clear noodles made from potato starch) fried in the same oil having a slight old smell. Being hungry, we ate through the calamari, but could not finish the spring rolls due to the smell/taste. Then the green curry chicken came (more yellow than green), and as it turns out was loaded with MSG. The sautéed squid was the same breaded square chunks, again fried, but now with a sauce on it. Again, being hungry, we finished the green curry chicken, but could not finish the squid - due to taste and smell.Got home, both with stomach cramps, wife vomited, both had diarrhea, and ended up with swollen face, hands, etc. We only began feeling better after about 24 hours and drinking lots of water to flush out our system.Nothing family "home cooking" about this restaurant - should have gone to Duangrats.

We got takeout on a Friday night - ordering online was super easy and the service was quick. We got the basil chicken and chicken pad Thai - both were delicious!! They had a good amount of spice and portion sizes were GREAT. Honestly we loved that there were no filler veggies in the basil chicken - we love our protein over here. Would definitely come back and try another dish!

I would say out of many Thai restaurants in the DMV, this is my favorite. The food is phenomenal, Nam Sod salad is a must, as is the crispy duck with basil. I imagine coming here for a long time to come.

The lady who served us was so rude and racist towards us. It my sister birthday and it was our first time here with our husbands and I gotta say this place is the most low level customer service I’ve ever experienced. I won’t recommend this place to anyone. The food was not worth the price!

This is by far the best Thai restaurant we’ve eaten at since moving here! The lunch deals are a steal and dinner is equally impressive.

Stopped here based on the reviews. Dined in and it's a cute mom and pop restaurant. Glad I did. The food is excellent. Ordering more to go. I ordered the Pad See Ew as my dine in order and the Pansang Curry Thai to go and enjoy for dinner tonight. Free parking is in a lot in front of a Chinese

Shared pork belly and crispy sautéed calamari specials, and both were full of flavor and delicious. Great restaurant!

Service was good but ordered duck curry - sorry, meat was not fresh and tasted bad. The broth is not flavorful as expected. Thai Select provides better Duck Curry. P.S. I am not publishing this review for Thai Select though. Coz I really couldn’t finish even half of what I ordered today…
