*Covid take-out review* Delicious food. Generous portions. I was craving thai food after a few hours of shopping at the mall. I looked up nearby spots and this place popped up. Did a quick scan of the reviews (average 4) and decided this was it! I placed an online order from their website. I meant to order drunken noodles with chicken but for some reason I did veggies. Well I guess I'll be trying something new! I always get meat with my asian food so I was a lil worried! The flavor was good and surprisingly I still enjoyed it. I was thinking I wouldn't be full enough but I was quite satisfied! My order was ready upon my arrival and I was greeted right away. That's when I realized I had ordered a veggie drunken noodle instead of chicken! Due to covid, only takeout and delivery. Plenty of parking here! read more

Little Spice - Drunken noodles - veggie - Thai Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

The drunken noodles is to die for. The lunch portions are large enough to have for dinner. I will be going back.

I have lived in Howard County for over five and a half years and I haven't thought to eat Thai food even though I do in Montgomery County where I work. It's probably because I haven't seen many Thai restaurants in Columbia so it must have slipped my mind. I did an online search for Thai restaurants nearby and to my delightful surprise, there are a handful of places. I decided on this restaurant because I read that they had lunch specials on weekdays from 11-3. They have a selection of entrees that come with a complimentary appetizer (crispy spring roll), and dessert (tapioca pearls in coconut cream) if you dine in or an additional $1.50 for carryout orders. I placed my order over the phone at 11:00 and was told it would take about 15-20 minutes. Perfect since I am 15 minutes away. I ordered the beef Pad See Ew and paid the additional $1.50 for the spring roll and tapioca dessert, and also an order of the fried calamari as an appetizer. The food was ready when I arrived. The employee who helped settle my bill was wearing a cloth face mask and plastic face shield. I appreciated seeing that she took extra safety measures to protect herself and patrons. At other restaurants and establishments I have been to, not all employees wear their mask properly. After I paid the bill and went to my car, I opened the bag to check the order. I didn't think there were enough containers so went back inside to ask if she included the spring roll and tapioca dessert to which she replied no. If you would like the spring roll and tapioca dessert for a carryout order be sure to indicate that when you place the order. I thought the Pad See Ew was good, but I've had better. There was more noodle than beef. I thought the portion size, in general, was generous for the lunch price. I actually couldn't finish it all so will have some leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The spring roll and calamari were good, but not amazing. Lastly, I would have wished the tapioca dessert was sweeter and that the cream was thicker. Overall, I had a decent experience, but wasn't blown away. read more

I have been craving pad thai for a while and I'm super happy I was in the area to try this place out. First of all, the serving size is HUGE. If you're ordering this for yourself you can definitely divide it for 4 meals. The noodles were perfectly chewing and the sauce had a great balance of sweet and tang. I thought they put a ton of chicken in there which is not a common occurrence for many thai places. The pricing at this place is definitely fair considering how much food you get. read more

Little Spice - Chicken N.1 - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

To be honest, it has been a very long time since I recall eating at a Thai food establishment -or Thai food in general- so I cannot really speak to comparing their dishes to other Thai in the area-but I can comment on the individual restaurant's quality & taste. With no real-'what is a great Thai dish' knowledge looking at their expansive menu was overwhelming. They offered so many options within their lunch special- providing a 'build it yourself' format where we got to pick the protein, flavor, and add-ons. We opted for: Spicy Drunken Talay- with the seafood combination protein-adding on the complementary spring roll & tapioca in coconut milk: The drunken noodle flavor was delicious-I like how they put chopped up peanuts versus larger full peanuts- it helped expand the taste profile-though it wasn't as spicy as I expected or wanted it to be. There was a good quantity of seafood included, but the mussels in the shell took up a lot of space in the to-go container-making the dish seem smaller quantity-wise. There was a good amount of vegetables mixed within (including broccoli & shaved carrots well softened and sauteed)-creating a nice balance of flavor. Overall, this was an eat in one sitting meal Beef Pad Thai: Size-wise the dish was very generous compared to the drunken noodles- I think you get more bang for your buck, easily two meals- There were a lot of noodles, though the dish lacked bean sprouts & didn't have that much beef, but the noodles had a great flavor. Again, I liked that they chop up the peanuts into pieces & mix throughout-versus large full peanuts. It held the flavor well. The spring roll was really greasy-I ended up having to flake a lot of the outer crust off to reduce some of the drippy greasy parts- The tapioca in coconut milk was yummy yummy- I added some fresh fruit (eating it at breakfast the next day-and wish I had more!) Overall, a quality lunch experience- not sure I'm sold on Thai being in my normal to-go rotation but if I find myself wanting a quality Thai experience, at reasonable prices, this will be our go-to place. read more

Keeping it simple and nice loved it!! This was my first time trying this place out and it did not disappoint. We ordered thru yelp on grubhub for carryout. Ordered on line. Added a little extra spiciness to both meals and I was highly satisfied. Not only with the preparation but also the amount and flavors of the food here. Ordered everything to go. It was ready upon arrival. The Hot pot Shrimp had it going on. Also loved the Thai shrimp cakes. Will definitely be back! read more

Looking for lunch that costs less than $10 and don't want to get another bowl of Chipotle? Come to Little Spice! :) I came in for a weekday late lunch, so it wasn't too busy. I was seated right away and given a menu + water. The restaurant looked very clean, and I loved the modern feel of the restaurant. Their lunch specials are a killer steal!! You select your main Thai dish (type of curry, noodles, rice, etc.) and then select your protein. Their most affordable option is getting your dish with vegetables and/or tofu for $8.50. It's so hard to find meals for less than $10 now, so this was such a good deal. :) I ordered the massaman curry (mild) that had a tiny kick to it. It came with a side of white rice. Before your main dish comes, you get a free veggie egg roll with your lunch too! If you're looking for friendly and fast service plus a yummy lunch option, I highly recommend Little Spice! read more

Great place for lunch special. Amount is plentiful for the price you pay, the taste is great. You also get a free spring roll appetizer for lunch special. Planning on visiting here often read more

I came here for lunch with a few friends who highly recommended it. For lunch, they have a special where any purchase comes with a free appetizer (spring roll) and dessert (tapioca pudding). I got the Pad See Ew, my go-to for Thai places. All of these dishes tasted amazing, and I was so full that I couldn't finish off my dessert. I was really surprised by the generous portion size; I had enough leftover to have a second meal, and the dish cost only $10.50! I also got their Thai iced tea, which was really good. Overall, I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for some filling yummy Thai food for a great deal. read more

The food here is really good and my server was really friendly. I highly recommend the shrimp fried rice Thai Basil, and not all Thai places have massamam curry and theirs was really good as well. Also had catfish curry was good, but be careful with the level Of spice. Thai Tea was also good. Looking forward to going back ! read more

Not good at all. Pad ka prow: Overcooked rubbery seafood dunked in gallons of liquidy brown sauce with a bunch of chopped American vegetables and almost no basil in sight. This is far from Thai and clearly nobody is even trying. read more

Okay, for the sake of transparency I've eaten at this place several times since the first review I failed to post in August. Each time the food has been amazing. First experience there the ladies had a decent crowd so I ordered everything at once. Appetizer was crispy and delicious Spring rolls served with chili dipping that complimented the rolls perfectly, mainly because it was packed with flavor and not just sugar. I ordered Singapore noodles with shrimp for my entree and it did NOT disappoint! It was loaded with veggies (carrots, broccoli , basil) and loads of shrimp. The seasoning was the closest thing I've had to my favorite Thai place in DC and Vienna. I had to stop myself from eating after 2 spring rolls and 1/2 the entree (yes, the portion is extremely large). Oddly I kept waiting for the spice to kick in but I agree with others that the dish isn't spicy. It's just pleasantly seasoned and lovely. I could easily eat this dish with veggies and no protein. (A personal reminder for next time. ) The ginger honey tea is literally FRESH ginger tea, like the kind I make at home. Warmed my chest and my soul. They were out of mango sticky rice so I ordered the rice pudding for dessert (now you see why I had to force myself to stop eating ). It was sweet, sticky, coco-nutty deliciousness!!!! I couldn't wait to come back with my family so we could try multiple dishes and share. Well, we've been back and tried the salmon dish, the soups, Pad Thai and several other dishes! You literally can't go wrong at this place. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the calamari, simply bc it's cut too thick for my preference but the flavor was okay. Everything else has been excellent! Folks, if you're in the Hanover/Odenton area, do NOT sleep on this little gem!!! It's definitely worth experiencing. read more

This was our first meal in the area during our two week visit from Syracuse, NY. The huge selection of food in the area was exciting and overwhelming, and after settling for Thai, this looked like the best place within our range. We went all out, wanting to try as many things as we could in one visit. I'll just go in order on their menu: Spring Rolls, never an issue at a good Thai place. These were beautiful crispy, and the dipping sauce was made for it. Larb Kai, this was a new experience for us. A heap of minced chicken, onions and greens sopping in lime, cilantro, and vinegar. Shocklingly acidic, but delicious. It was great when transitioning from one entrée to the next. Chili Paste with String Bean (Pad Prik King), was my girlfriend's favorite. It wasn't very spicy even when we asked for it to be. The beans were blanched perfectly, the chicken meat wasn't the bad kind you sometimes get at Thai places, and the red bell peppers were the best part. Perfect with the rice. Drunken Noodles were my absolute favorite. Also not spicy, even with the requested upgrade. All the veggies were perfectly tender, and the noodles were perfect. I got seafood for the meat, and wish I went with something else. Shrimp by itself would have been fine, or any other meat would have accentuated the flavor. There was a ton of squid, and a couple mussels, which didn't really bring much to the dish and added $5 to the price. No complaints, it's exactly what I asked for, but I'd go a different route on my next run (which would very likely include this dish again). Taro and Coconut Ice Cream. Due to the stressful nature of our trip, we made a point to try as much ice cream as we could while we were down here. This was a unique window we wouldn't be able to get elsewhere, so we went for it. We got stuck in heavy traffic on the way to our place, so we ended up eating the ice cream on I-95. The taro was delicious, I really liked that the coconut ice cream had chunks of coconut cream. We're definitely accustomed to some novelty when it comes to our ice cream, so eating it plain straight from a plastic to-go box was bland for our taste, even for good ice cream. Coffee. I was already looking for my next fix, so figured why not get it from here? Some places do it surprisingly well. Not this one, I'm afraid. Not very hot (despite being prepared as I arrived), and had very little taste to it. A swing and a miss, but at least I didn't have to go somewhere else. read more

This was a disappointing father's day. The Basil Fried Rice and House Fried Rice were the same flavor. The tofu was not fried, so basically you couldn't find it in the fried rice. Both servings of fried rice were about 3 to 4 lbs each and it was full of clumped up rice that had minimal flavor, let alone no basil. The green curry was the biggest disappointment, tofu was just chopped up - not fried at all so the tofu fell apart. The vegetables in the green curry were SO LARGE that we had to cut them ourselves. The curry itself had ZERO coconut milk/cream- it was all water based. I can't believe we spent over 100 dollars for this meal and it came to be one of the lack luster meals we've ever had. I do sincerely believe the kitchen rushed every dish - there was no care in how this was made, presented or given to us. read more

This was an easy five stars hands down. Fast service, super clean, large portions, and taste that was out of this world. My first visit here and it was amazing. We had so much food to take home that we had leftovers for two days. When we came in the dining area was full and we were served food in about 10 minutes. Highly recommend a stop here! read more

Visited on a Thursday for a 7pm dinner. There weren't many patrons dining in but I could tell they do a quite a bit of delivery and take out business. Restaurant was well lit, clean and perfect for casual family dining. The service was quick and friendly. Now the food, I enjoy Thai food quite a bit but I've never had it this sweet before. The pineapple fried rice was tossed in a sweet sauce. I'm used to it being a dry dish with just the pineapples adding sweetness I recommend requesting the sauce on the side. We also ordered the ginger fish with salmon and again the ginger sauce was extremely sweet and drowned the vegetables. We were unable to finish either due to the sweetness. It definitely needed something savory to balance the meal, but I'm not sure what dish that would've been since I've read similar comments about the sweetness of other dishes. We also had the spring rolls and fish cakes which were okay. Everyone's palate is different. This restaurant just didn't suit mine. read more

Little Spice - N.9 - Pineapple Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

This meal was truly a pleasant experience! I am not really sure how we came across Little Spice but so glad we did. We ordered chicken Pad Thai, Beef Fried Rice, Ginger Beef and Ginger Fried Fish. The Pad Thai was BOMB, so much so I have been wanting to eat more for the past 3 days lol. I do wish it came with the peanut sauce as it was a little dry but I keep spiced vinegar for times like that! The ginger beef was alright, a little tough but tasted good. I appreciated the fact that the fried fish was separate from the sauce it came with. Both parts were equally delicious and it was like having a whole vegetable entree. Overall, I will definitely be back for the pad Thai, if for nothing else and I more than recommend trying it out! read more

I went to Little Spice today for lunch. After viewing their brightly colored and fun website, I was sure this would be a great treat. They have a very affordable lunch menu that includes an appetizer and dessert (of their choosing) with your meal. If you dine out there is an additional charge but you still get both. I arrived to the shopping center and found ample parking. It was the middle of the day so take that into account. There are about five restaurants there all together, all different types of cuisine. I found this nice as I work right up the street. As I walked up to Little Spice it looked closed. I pulled the door to find to my surprise they were not. Lunch was slow as I imagined it would be and I could see just one person waiting for Togo. I planned on dining in, but couldn't find anyone at first. As I looked around the empty restaurant I heard a woman's voice yell from the back asking if I ordered takeout. I let her know I didn't and asked if they are allowing people to dine in. The lights were not even all on inside. She walked to the front and just pulled out a chair at a nearby table motioning me there. I sat and waited a few mins before she came back with water. I knew my order was chicken pad Thai (went with something I knew since it was my first time here), and ordered with her after the water drop off. It came out what couldn't have even been 5-7 mins later! I love a time efficient lunch but I was left wondering if the food was cooked throughout. Or maybe they just keep it handy. Not sure. It was however, nice and hot. I enjoyed the chicken pad Thai with all the bean sprouts and aromatic onions. She brought the spring roll appetizer shortly after. Then, what I believe was Tapioca pudding or rice and cream came out. I tried it but it wasn't my cup of tea. The spring roll was delicious. The whole meal came to nine dollars! Great pricing for the amount of food. I wish it was more lit and bright like the website would lead you to believe. I know the pandemic has changed a lot of businesses but I find myself feeling like customer service is being lost with it as well in some places. I would maybe do a quick takeout order from here one day again. read more

I ordered takeout for the Pad Thai with tofu and it was terrible. The food was dry and my tofu was burnt. It also had no flavor to it. I ordered here because of the great reviews but this was not it.

Mediocre at best and not real Thai food. I ordered Pla Sam Rod with salmon and it was so sugary sweet, like a dessert. I think they are using cane sugar when thai cooking calls for palm sugar which is not as sweet. I also had the eggplants with basil sauce. I only counted 2 small eggplant pieces and tons of onions and green peppers. The flavor was similar to the Pla Sam Rod. But so long as there are no other Thai restaurants in the area, they will stay in business. read more

Came here straight from BWI airport and needed a quick lunch. Lunch menu had both rice and noodle dishes. Hostess was very friendly and seated us right away The number of folks dining inside the restaurant was a good sign. Pad Thai had good flavor. Noodles not gummy and a tangy sweet spicy sauce was flavorful. The green curry chicken was a little disappointing. Sauce was watered down with barely enough spice. The chicken and vegetables were cooked nicely. Good experience overall if looking for a good value for lunch ($9 to $13 per dish). read more

First, the food was good but not like WOW! Plenty of it, though. We had Pork Pad Kaprow, Matsaman Curry Beef, and Pad Thai. I would have liked a bit more meat in the meat dishes, but the flavors were nice. I just can't find something that really stands out to write about. What I do want to share is the pickup experience my DD had. After waiting in a lengthy queue to approach the door and speak to an employee, said employee couldn't find our order. We believe this was a disconnect with grubhub, so I'm not faulting the restaurant for it. I should add, we were immediately charged for it soooo .... (we let Yelp know about this so they can look into it.) What I AM faulting them for is that they left her standing outside in the cold for close to 30 minutes, while they obviously filled the missing order. Worse, she wasn't sure what was actually happening because they never told her they were making it! That loses a star from me because communication with your customers is essential to good business. Apparently, others waiting around had had similar experiences and said the employees are never helpful. DD is a lot more patient than I am - I would have left immediately and requested a refund through Yelp! read more

Great service, reasonable prices and pretty store! However the food here is a bit MID. The Pad Thai was decent but the curry here is disappointing. It's filled with veggies and hardly any soup, the flavor was lacking as well. I think they need to work on consistency and fixing the flavors because other reviews note this as well. read more

We barely made it through the door before we were greeted and sat. It was a later lunch, but everything arrived quickly. She brought us an egg roll each when we ordered drinks. I ordered hot jasmine tea which arrived in a large tea pot. More than enough for me to finish, but welcomed amidst the air conditioning. The Lunch Menu offered a wonderfully diverse selection. Choose a protein or vegetables, served with rice. Both mine and my husband's dishes were filling. After we finished, our server delivered a warm, home made tapioca for dessert.

Ok - this is definitely our new go-to Thai restaurant!! Just move to this area and was in the mood for Thai - and luckily I found Little Spice! The wife and I got Pan fried noodles aka Pad See Ew (me tofu, her chicken). It was some, if not the best Pad See Ew I've ever had. ALSO - I am gluten-free (not Celiac, just gluten intolerant). When I called to inquire about their menu and gluten free items, they were so well versed on what they had that was gluten free and what could be made gluten free. My wife also ordered spring rolls and when the (very friendly and fast) staff member brought me my order (we picked up) she made sure to tell me the spring rolls were NOT gluten-free. Now that's lookin out! I don't know about you, but it can be difficult to find gluten free Asian cuisine and even hard to find restaurant staff who understand gluten intolerances. This place is a GEM GEM GEM!!! My wife also said they were some of the best spring rolls she'd ever had! Oh - and the portion pictures was the lunch portion!! It fed me 3 times! Can't wait to go back! read more

Little Spice is hands down my favorite Thai in the area. I used to frequent Bangkok Kitchen by Ft. Meade, but their quality has declined in recent years. Luckily, Little Spice delivers in quality, taste, and service. My go to dish is the Drunken Noodle with chicken and Spring Rolls. I appreciate that LS loads their dishes with tons of veggies. I was lucky if I got 2 pieces of broccoli at Bangkok Kitchen. The curries and rice dishes are also quite tasty. The wait is sometimes long (30-45 minutes), but I think it speaks to the made-to-order quality and volume of customers. read more

I love this place, they've always been nice and tried their best to work with customizations. Many items can be a little too sweet for me, but asking them to do 60-75% of sauce seems to solve that. Great value for lunch menu, good food, on time from estimate that they give online. read more

Tried Little Spice after Bangkok Kitchen to help settle the Anne Arundel Thai Food Debate. For a more expansive menu, and a nicer ambience, Little Spice is the winner. It sits in a pretty normal looking shopping center, but they transformed the space to be warm and inviting, perfect for dates or catching up with friends. The sizzling plate is equally as impressive in flavor and presentation. But when it comes to the main event... the drunken noodles of course!... Bangkok Kitchen is the better of the two. Little Spice's is good, but doesn't have that sweet to spicy flavor journey in every bite. The taro ice cream is the perfect ending touch to your meal, so definitely order it. Sweet with flakes inside. I haven't had it before and now I want all of my meals to end that way. read more

Came in on a Wednesday night and was surprised to find the restaurant pretty full and busy. We were seated pretty quickly, and got menus right away, but service was succinct and cold. We ordered the Crispy Spring Roll which was excellent. Piping hot and crispy, and it came with a bomb sauce that was sweet and spicy. Unfortunately I also ordered the drunken noodles with chicken, and the noodles were so overdone, I was eating mush. The spicy spice level was not hot at all and I had to ask for extra spice on the side. As an entree, the Drunken Noodles were underwhelming. With the other Thai options available inthe area, it's unlikely I'll be back to dine here again. read more
