Great food, great service - all the employees are so kind and accommodating! This place is always a constant in the Frederick area -- have ordered a variety of their items (Pad Thai, Red Curry, Green Curry, Khao Soi, Brûlée Rice Pudding) It's all delish - I also highly recommend the spring roll appetizer it's super crispy and the sauce is yummy! Seating is limited, but you can always call for a reservation. Will definitely be back! read more

Great food and loved the decorations. I liked how they had different Thai foods than what we commonly know of. I just minus one star since the TomYum soup was warm, not hot when we recieved it; it might be because I stepped away from the table too long, since the table next to us ordered TomYom that looked to be streaming hot. Other than that, really great authentic thai food menu. read more

The ambiance of the place is vibrant and really well put-together. Staff is friendly and food service is quick. The food can out steaming hot and so fresh. I got the shrimp pad Thai for my main dish and for appetizer I got the papaya salad. The salad was good to the last bits and I'm not ashamed to say I drank the remaining juicy dressing as it was so delish!!! My husband got the Peking duck eggroll and he enjoyed that for appetizer. He got the salmon pad see euw but although he swears it's the best, I did not enjoy the combo salmon but the actual pad see euw was tasty and served steaming hot right out of the pan! The best shrimp pad Thai I have ever tasted is here as well. Busting with flavor, sauce is just right and so savory. I wish I had a second stomach lol. The whole experience was amazing and I can not wait to come back!!! read more

The food was excellent. It was fresh off the grill. The Kittiwat Fritters was a good sampling of their entrees. For my meal, I had the green curry with shrimp and my wife had chicken pad thai. The curry had the right amount of spice with a flavorful kick. I would highly recommend and would come back. read more

My family and I were on our way back home from Virginia and were looking for somewhere to eat in Frederick. This was one of many restaurants I saw when searching, and I'm so glad I tried it! The inside of the restaurant is so pretty, and the staff were so kind. We didn't come at a busy time so we were seated quickly and our food came out fast. The herbal chicken was delicious and seasoned to perfection! I also appreciate that they allowed my mother to customize the spice level. read more

literally thank God there is a good Thai place in the area! I've been looking for a solid Thai spot and finally came across this gem. We ordered the crab rangoons, chicken wings, pad thai with shrimp and crab fried rice with an aperol spritz on happy hour (which they have everyday btw) NOTHING disappointed. Everything was absolutely cooked to perfection and flavors on point. Ive never had a wing so crispy with a good sauce to meat ratio and the filling in the crab rangoon wasn't your typical filling it was just divine. Pad thai had a great amount of sauce, crab meat on the rice was generous too. I will be coming back and trying a bunch more. I saw a few other items i wanted to try but we were already stuffed. I love the interior design of the place + it was super clean. Service was relatively fast too. Loved it here and highly recommend! read more

What a beautiful restaurant! The lighting, the decor, even the "Hey Beautiful" sign in the bathroom made me smile. It is very welcoming and relaxing. The service was wonderful - our server was very kind and answered our questions. She even apologized when she said they were out of Ube ice cream! As a first time customer, I was very impressed by how quickly everything came to the table. The set up of the Iced Thai Coffee is very clever. I love how we can control the ratios of sugar, tea, and milk. I ordered the Crispy Shrimp with Pineapple Fried Rice which was delicious! The portion size gave me enough for lunch the next day! This was my first time ever having mango sweet sticky rice and it was so sweet and delicious! I cannot wait to visit again and bring others!! read more

First time here, beautiful decorations, bright and inviting. We got some to go orders here, since was in the area. Service was good, but since we did not sit down for table service, so this is not a full dining in review. Will return for a full dining in experience. Maybe because it was a takeout, the food flavor was great, but noodles got a bit soggy from staying in the boxes too long, not their fault. And the roti was a bit dry. Pork was delicious so was the lychee crème. While we were waiting for the food, we ordered couple drinks & really liked them, especially liked the make your own thai tea concept. Will return for a dine in experience. read more

We wanted some Thai food and stopped over at Kittiwat. One of my favorite foods is red Curry so I was looking for something similar. I chose the pumpkin Curry and my hubby chose Kimchi Fried Rice. The flavors of the pumpkin Curry were so amazing, this dish has now become my favorite and I will look to have it everywhere I go and be disappointed! There were big pieces of chicken and big pieces of pumpkin but also had a kick of spice! (chef's kiss). The service was quick and it is beautifully decorated on the inside. 10 /10 recommend! read more

I thought it was weird that the crispy pork is beer battered. I won't get that again because it's not your traditional Thai way of doing that. The service is nice. Thai ice coffee is fancy and they make the ice cube out of coffee. They don't have all the traditional Thai sauces to serve on the side. The spicy basil is more soupy for some reason. Nice decor and I probably will try something different next time. read more

EDIT (10/30/2025): I don't want to engage in an online argument, but I want to point out that despite the owner's comments meant to cover themselves, we never received a refund on our bill or credit card. Additionally, no one offered an apology while we were at the restaurant. ... ORIGINAL REVIEW (10/13/2025): ***FOOD POISONING & APATHY ALERT*** My husband and I have been loyal regulars at this restaurant for nearly a year, often recommending it to friends and returning for our favorite dishes. Sadly, our most recent visit was deeply disappointing--and frankly, disturbing. We brought a friend for dinner last Friday, expecting the same warm experience we've come to appreciate. Instead, we encountered a series of issues that left us shocked and sick (literally). * A wasp landed on our friend's arm mid-meal. I managed to kill it with a cloth napkin and asked the staff for a fresh one. Their response? "It was on the food tho right?"--no concern, no apology. * My partner ordered his usual seafood pad cha. Inside one of the mussels was a tiny crab. Not a garnish--an unsettling surprise that raised serious questions about food hygiene. We tried to brush it off. * I ordered the yellow curry noodle dish I've had many times before. This time, the chicken drumstick was frozen and raw in the center. I alerted the staff and the owner. They silently took it away. No apology, no explanation. I ordered the pumpkin curry instead--only to find it undercooked as well. Thankfully, it was vegetarian. No one acknowledged the issues. No comps, no concern, no accountability. We spent the rest of the night in the bathroom--each of us sick and stunned by how far this place has fallen. I write this with genuine sadness. We've supported this restaurant for a year, but after this experience, we can't in good conscience return or recommend it. I hope they take this feedback seriously and make the changes needed to restore the quality and care that once made them special. read more

I had not found a good Thai restaurant since my husband and I moved but this restaurant was recommended by a friend and I have to say it was delicious!!! We got takeout but I'm looking forward to dining in. The decor and ambience is very nice. read more

I normally order my food to go, but recently went on a triple date and ate in the restaurant. Eating in the restaurant was a game changer! The vibes and decor inside are stunning and the food presentations were unique. I found it interesting that when you order food online you can choose your heat level (somewhat required) but in person you order as is, unless you specify. There was also a rule on the menu that said no refunds if an item is listed as spicy and was too spicy for your palette. That made me laugh. Also for guests or 6 or more gratuity is automatically added, which is typical. read more

I'll say it again- we absolutely love this place. We rarely order anything other than the crab fried rice , crab Rangoon, and Thai iced tea ... see that rice in the pic and you will see why!!! Soooo much fresh, juicy lump crab ... read more

The selection of dishes was impressive. We started with a variety of appetizers before progressing to the entrees. My seafood drunken noodles was packed with shrimp, squid, scallops and clams. Unfortunately the dish wasn't as spicy as I hoped. The service was attentive and efficient. The atmosphere was spare and the space was loud. I would describe it as industrial. The restaurant was full by 1 Pm on this Friday. As for the outdoor seating there was nothing attractive about sitting by the parking lots. Still a good buy read more

Nestled in a beautiful modern building with high ceilings and large glass windows at the front, Kittiwat Thai Kitchen in Frederick, Virginia, offers an inviting dining experience. We visited around dinner time on a weekday, and although there were a few customers, we were promptly seated and greeted by the friendly and attentive staff. We started with a sampler platter of appetizers, which was phenomenal, setting a high bar for the rest of the meal. I also ordered the Pad See Ew, and it was wonderful--served hot and quickly, with every bite being absolutely divine. The service was efficient, and the cleanliness of the restaurant was notable. With plenty of parking available out front, Kittiwat Thai Kitchen stands out as one of the top dining experiences I've had in Frederick. We were truly glad we chose this place for dinner and would definitely dine here again! read more

The food here is not only delicious but so thoughtfully presented that you can't help but be excited while there. I sat and watched as eyes widened across the restaurant each time the staff walked by delivering plates to their patrons. With each passing, I fought the urge to signal them over and say "can I get one of what you just took to that table?" -- truly, I had so much on my plate (as pictured), each bite immaculate might I add. Even after the check was signed I watched gaping as they delivered a thai basil tofu dish to the group sitting at my diagonal ... eventually blurting out loud, 'I should have gotten one of those to go' . They heard, smiled at me and I smiled in return because you know what, I'll definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I ordered this to go for dinner over the weekend. It was their spicy basil with chicken with a side of plain white rice. The sauce was so good especially when I mixed it with the rice The dish itself was really good but I do wish they added a little bit more chicken. I don't know if that's how it usually is when dining in I would also like to try this dish with beef. I think it would be really good. What really sold me was the taste of the sauce; super rich and paired well with the green beans and peppers. Not too bad of a price for the dinner special. Quick service, wait time was about 10-15 minutes for a saturday night. read more

What a cute gem found in the midst of a strip mall. We were so hungry after a round of golf and wanted something Asian and filling! The best surprise was to find that it was not only large portions but absolutely amazing food! The flavors were rich and deep and I loved every bite! But be aware... the spicy levels are not what you have had at other Thai places. I got level 2 and it burned my lips and 3 hours later it's still burning. Level 3 was paralyzing to my friend who loves spicy food. I just want you to order with the proper respect. The wings are a perfect appetizer... sweet balancing the spicy and perfectly crisped without the crazy amounts of batter you find in most wing joints. The best dish by far is the Herbal chicken! You have to get it!!! The fried Thai basil leaves over the perfectly cooked chicken pieces with spicy glaze! Perfection! The drunken noodle with beef and Pad Thai of course are delicious and recommended. Nothing we had on the menu was bad. I can't wait to come back to try everything. The store isn't too large, but we were able to come in as a group of 12. And another party of 16 were there as well. So come and bring your friends. read more

Kittiwat Thai Kitchen - Drunken noodles with duck - Thai Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I saw a recommendation for this place on a FB page (Frederick Fatty or something like that?). If we hadn't deliberately went to find it we might have passed right by, as it's kind of bunched up with some other businesses. BUT-- I am very glad we tried to find it, as this was the best Thai I've had in a long time! The indoor seating area isn't huge, but it's cute and the staff was great. We had the "fritter" appetizer (a little bit of everything) and I'm not even 100% sure what everything was, but it was all delicious. For 2 diners, it really could have almost been a meal by itself. For mains we had crispy chicken pad thai and chicken pad cashew. Both were great BUT the cashew sauce was CRAZY good. The only reason I'm giving a 4 is because the food took a liiiitle long to come out, but also because I want to come back and try more stuff and I need room to improve the score. read more

Great local Thai restaurant in Frederick. We came for an early dinner on a Saturday. They have a nice happy hour that includes discounted drinks and some fried appetizers. We all had a mix of soups, salads, and entrees. The service was really good and everything was reasonably priced. We will definitely return. read more

Outstanding vegan and vegetarian options at Kittiwat! Really appreciate all the available options, including appetizers. For apps, we had the tofu tempura which was outstanding. The texture was on point and it had a great dipping sauce. We also had the summer rolls with tofu and veggies. This one was fairly tasteless but the sauce was amazing For dinner, I opted for the green curry with veggies. The taste was absolutely phenomenal. Excellent spice/heat and wonderful assortment of veggies cooked perfectly. I finished every morsel! My husband had the drunken noods with tofu. One bite and i wanted to steal them...so friggen tasty! The service was a little slow but with the friendly smiles and awesome demeanor, we were happy campers. The restaurant has a cool vibe although the space is a little cramped. I think it would be great in spring and summer to eat on the outdoor patio. Grab a date or go by yourself, this place is a winner! read more

Checked out this place with some co-workers for some Thai food while in town on business. The food was excellent. I had the Tom Goong soup and crispy rolls - all very delicious. My co-workers had the salmon and curry with tofu. They both enjoyed their dishes as well. The place was not busy, but we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came over besides setting the water down when we sat down. The wine selection was minimal, but adequate. You get a healthy pour in a smallish glass, so no room to air the mid-grade wine. I'd recommend a cocktail, beer, or Thai tea instead. Other than that, it was enjoyable. Decent patio for nice evenings like tonight. I'd probably return for take-out for my hotel. read more

I have to update my previous review after a repeat visit. I had an absolutely delicious entree last night: Crispy soft-shell crab with green curry.

If I could rate this restaurant solely based on customer service, I'd give them a 5/5! Everyone we spoke to was super friendly and took care of us the whole time. We got seated right away, got help with deciding what to order, and our waiter packed up our lefts overs very nicely when we were done. Out of everything we ordered, the drunken noodles (pad see euw) was my favorite. The chicken and broccoli were cooked just right and the noodles were nicely charred. The shrimp parcels were good but somewhat forgetful, and the papaya salad could've used more flavor and spice (we asked for a level 3 spice but it tasted more like a 1-2). I'd go for a 4-5 next time. I forget what the special lunch dish was called but it was pretty good. It could've used some balsamic dressing or a sauce on the side. This was my first time visiting Kittiwat Thai, and overall I had a great time! It's a fun atmosphere (clean, open and bright) and the service was top notch. I'd definitely stop by again for another bite. read more

Food was good, great ambience, beautiful decorations, but I just have to say something about the customer services. I appreciate you all for your services but I think it'd be better if you served us with a more positive attitude. If I am not done with my food (like the plate was still half full), please don't give us to-go boxes yet, because it made me feel like I am not welcomed, and you never gave us a single smile the whole time. I felt like being watched while eating cause we were talking and my plate was still pretty full, then they assumed that I am done and brought the boxes? We stayed for 30 mins by then and I acknowledged that if I'm done eating, I should leave so that you have tables for other customers (there were lots of open tables too). So yea, that's it, otherwise everything was good. read more

I love Thai food and saw this little place while in town. I would definitely recommend. The food was delicious (Pad Thai and Herbal Chicken) and the staff, fairly attentive.
