SO tasty!!! Even my no-spicy-food sister enjoyed it! The portions were generous. We had Thai Iced Tea, Ginger Hot Honey tea, Chicken Satay for an appetizer, Street Noodles and Lum Thai for entrees, Sticky Rice with Mango (to go) and Fried Banana with Coconut ice cream for dessert. Highly recommend for something different. read more

I was going to go to breakfast with one of my friends next door at another restaurant when we saw this small independently owned restaurant next door. How fortuitous! I took a look at the menu and they had a range of thai dishes from all ranges of Thailand. Also we took a look at the food of the patrons and everything looked so inviting. I ordered Thai iced tea. We shared spring rolls and got chicken thom yum soup. I will say that the Thom yum soup here is more tomatoey and limey than I'm used to but It was very tasty. For meals we had chicken drunken noodles and chicken massaman curry. The drunken noodles were good but they knocked it out the park with the curry!! So flavorful. I can not wait to go back here. The staff was so nice. I am happy that we chose to enjoy a quiet lunch then going to the packed to the brim restaurant two doors down. There's something to be said about enjoying a lunch with a friend over a good food and conversation that you can hear. read more

Lum Thai is one of our local favorites. I haven't had a single bad dish. Whether it's noodles, curry, or a soup, they have all been fantastic. To go orders are always packaged nicely and the dining room is well equipped for dine in. Super friendly service and tasty meals at reasonable prices, what more could you ask for? read more

Located in Muddy Branch Square shopping center, Lum Thai is a small Thai restaurant offering the usual Thai dishes at most Thai restaurants. They also some specials that looked interesting. I got the pad thai ($14 with chicken), and it was decent/average. I got a few dry chicken pieces unfortunately. I got hot and it actually was spicy (since sometimes they dial the spice levels down, but not this place!) Staff were friendly and checked on us often. The restaurant is very casual, and clean, and there is plenty of parking in the shopping center. read more

Excited to try a new Thai place and wanted to love this but sadly, we did not. The food was average at best. Everything was very salty. Excessively salty. Portions average to smallish for the price. Papaya salad was way salty. Larb Gai was way salty also. They should served with some shrimp chips to cut the salt. Pad Thai was saucy. Should have served with wedges of lime to cut the sweetness. It was served piping hot which was nice. Panang curry was the best dish but was small and lacked vegetables. Ka prow was server with a nice fried egg but the sauce was very salty. Had to eat with a lot of rice. Service was slow considering there was no one in the restaurant. They were doing a lot of carry out orders tho. read more

I recently ordered the crab meat fried rice to go and it was ok. The crab meat was mushy and there were no vegetables. I added black pepper and chili flakes for more flavor. read more

We enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner at Lum Thai. I made a reservation (which wasn't needed) because it was a Friday night. The service was outstanding. Servers were very friendly and brought my birthday dessert out with a candle and sang to me. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the chicken Panang curry, my husband had the mango curry hot and my mom had the chicken pad Thai. The portions were large and they boxed up our leftovers for us. For dessert we had the mango sticky rice and the fried banana with coconut ice cream. DELICIOUS. We will be back! Plenty of parking. read more

My sister orders from this place often and compared it to a Thai restaurant that we love back home in Boston. While I was in town, we decided to order for takeout. We ordered two pad ka prao with salmon, extra spicy. Upon arrival, they informed us that they only had one piece of salmon left (this was a Tuesday early evening). I ended up ordering the tilapia and had to beg them to not make it breaded. I sat at the bar to wait and had a glass of Sauvignon blanc. Inside was pretty busy and looked clean. I would have dined in. When we got home, we soon realized that there was absolutely no pepper in the food, causing it to be on the sweeter side. It was extremely disappointing considering we eat Thai food for the level of spice they're able to achieve. Nonetheless, I was NOT impressed and very unsatisfied with the meal. read more

What a gem this place is! It's in a quiet little shopping center hidden next to First Break. We ordered the fried flounder, beef sizzling and chicken wings with papaya salad w/ sticky rice. Everything came out perfectly cooked and delicious. We got everything medium spice which was good, if you can handle spice. We also got the Thai tea & Thai coffee to drink and both were great. The server was friendly and helpful with what we should order. We can't wait to come back!! read more

Enjoyable lunch. We ate in for lunch and opted for lunch specials, which come with a choice of an app and entree. I ordered fried tofu + pad see ew with beef and my mom opted for a spring roll plus pad Thai with chicken. We traded plates to sample each other's selections. It was all solid and my favorite was the pad see ew with beef. Nothing blew me away, but tasty. Service was good. Restaurant interior is pretty non-descript and it's in the strip center at Muddy Branch. I hear their plating is really nice and I can see that in some of the photos, but ours was just basic and clean. Overall, solid and would get again. read more

bluf - awesome, relatively new spot located in Montgomery County offering a fresh, modern take on Thai dishes with friendly service to boot. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly smile and great service. We ordered a few items for the table and they were all delicious. The curry puff was flaky and crispy on the outside and great flavor for the filling. The pad see ew hit the spot too with well-cooked noodles and a great balance of other toppings. The curry had a nice kick (you can ask for different levels of spice) and depth to it. The pineapple fried rice was a fun dish that had a great balance of flavors between the savory fried rice + sweet pineapples. The biggest takeaways that I noticed are that the kitchen doesn't skimp out on portion size. The dishes are reasonably priced AND they give you a ton of food, so that's always great to see. There's a decent amount of indoor seating (none outside) and they are accommodating in the form of gender neutral bathrooms. It seems like it could get a bit noisy on a busier evening, but I had a great time here and would be more than happy to visit again if I'm in the area. read more

Overall- yummy food, super kind service, reasonable prices, clean and casual ambiance, with single stall inclusive restrooms It's a small restaurant with only indoor seating. They have one TV that was showing a cooking show when we were there. The menu had tons of options that I wanted to try. Everything we got was delicious. We went at 4:30 and we were the only people in the place the entire time. read more

Came on an impulse - the smell from outside absolutely drew us in! Inside is cozy and cute - we were seated immediately and ordered Thai teas - so good that my husband ordered a second one! The food was served very quickly, and we really enjoyed everything! Husband ordered the cashew chicken and I the vegetarian pad see euw. Every bite of each so full of flavor! The waitstaff was also the right amount of attentive while letting us have privacy to enjoy our meal - something I think can be very tricky to gauge. Absolutely will be back! read more

March 2023 I have been eagerly awaiting this new Thai restaurant, but it didn't quite make a favorable impression on me other than the friendly staff. My new, lovely colleague and I shared our chicken pad Thai and beef pad see ew. Both entrees were flavorful, however, needed more sauce. The pad see ew noodles needed to be more tender. It was more al dente, which is atypical. Also the beef was chewy and overcooked. The Thai iced tea was good though. They had a few carryout orders, but hardly any dine-in patrons. The restaurant is located in Muddy Branch Square, in the same shopping center as Giant, and is two doors down from First Watch. Overall decent, but didn't have the wow factor I was hoping for. read more

I finally made it to try the mango and sticky rice!!! They added adorable flowers to their interior design, hanging from the lanterns and on the booths. The service was also 10/10! They also updated their menu - adding new things - still 10/10 for this place! You gotta go ASAP!!! read more

This restaurant has become a family favorite. We come here often and have been trying the whole menu slowly but surely. Portions are generous and super flavorful. My favorites are everything but my must have is always the crab Rangoon!! Most recently I loved the crispy eggplant with sauce on the side. But honestly, I don't think you can go wrong. Service is super attentive and welcoming. I couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

This has slowly become my favorite Thai restaurant in my area. Everything I've tried so far has been good. The salmon kapow level 5 spice is chefs kiss 10/10. They have had some off days but for the most part it's pretty solid. The workers are friendly and always offer a free Thai iced tea if I'm waiting too long for my order or if they made a mistake. The street/drunken noodle are good also. They give you a good portion but sometimes it tends to be overcooked. I've tried their wonton soup and probably wouldn't order it again. All in all once of my favorite Thai restaurants in the area. read more

My friend told me about this new Thai restaurant and said it was good so I got carry out to try it. I ordered the chicken pad thai and crispy duck curry. The pad thai was bland and lacking in flavor. It tasted like something I can get at the mall food court. The crispy duck curry was really good, but better to eat at the restaurant as the crispiness of the duck will get soggy by the time it reaches home. It's located in a shopping center so plenty of free parking spots. read more

Ordered Pad Thai with chicken $13.95 and Green Curry with chicken $13.95 (comes with a small side of rice). Pad Thai came with this cute container to sprinkle your peanuts when you're at home. Pad Thai was good - loved the amount of chicken and egg but slightly bland. Green Curry with chicken was good but the eggplant was undercooked, which it was less hard and more soft. Wish it had more bamboo shoots (didn't really have any). Flavor was good but wish it was stronger. I'd love to try this place again - maybe just an off day with the chef. read more

Tried Lyk thai for the first time today and was hugely impressed! We got a wide variety of items to try: thai teas, Tom kha soup, pad Thai, panang curry, and fried rice. The presentation of the soup was really cute and the taste was great. It was my second time trying Tom kha and I enjoyed it more than my other try! The serving sizes are also bigger than what I imagined. Both the fried rice and pad Thai came with so much food!!! Same goes for the curry. Great value. All three items tasted great as well. My friend asked for some chili sauce and they promptly brought over a variety of spices for her. The Thai tea is a tad sweet, but nothing ice/water can't dilute and they come in cute little mason jars. The service was great as well especially for a relatively new spot. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Decor is clean and pretty without being cluttered. The furniture is rustic wood and comfortable. The service was extremely friendly, attentive, and kind. We came on a Sunday morning around brunchtime. We put our names down initially at First Watch nextdoor but their wait was an hour so when we saw this place two doors down with immediate seating we went in. We were not disappointed. We ordered the Green Curry with chicken and jasmine rice. I got it medium spicy which is two peppers on a scale of four and trust me it was spicy enough and flavorful with a good amount of chicken. We also ordered the Pad Thai with beef which was good but a tad sweet for our taste. We asked if we could order it next time and ask for less sugar and they said absolutely which is great to know. I also ordered one of their ice teas from the special menu. I cannot recall the name of the tea but it was purple on top and yellow on the bottom. It was refreshing, not too sweet, and the colors were pretty. We will definitely return to try more things on their menu. I want to try their weekday lunch menu, other signature dishes and more of their beautiful teas. read more

I went for a second day in a row. service is fantastic. Everything we ordered was outstanding. Portion sizes were great. Definitely, plenty of leftovers. Rice is on a smaller side, but we don't eat a lot of rice, so we were fine with the size. They also have a brown rice option for an up charge. Only complaint would be that the dishes are a little on the sweeter side for a diabetic, and they are not able to accommodate for no sugar. read more

I was here on a Monday night with a few friends. It was relatively quiet. We ordered chicken ducks and fish. I would say all the dishes are above average.

The area is increasing of high quality Thai cuisine and this is one of them. We ordered quite quite few dishes including Crabmeat Fried Rice, Crispy Duck Ka Prao, Tom Kha, and a couple appetizers to share. The Pad Thai wasn't too sweet like a lot of Thai places. The duck was crispy, not too much fat. The Tom Kha wasn't too heavy on the coconut cream taste which most Thai places are. Best of all, the food came in good proportions. The menu is small but seems like all the dishes are well curated. Very unique plating too, not too much with an authentic impact. The atmosphere is good for dates or just casual dinner (although they don't have alcohol currently - that may change later not sure). Service was great too and server was nice and quick! read more
