Drunken Noodles
Al H.

I ordered delivery of the drunken noodles with chicken, $18.95 before fees and tip. The dish was delivered in under 30 minutes. To say, this is one of the best preparations of drunken noodles I've had would be an understatement. The wide noodles themselves were perfectly cooked, did not clump together, had a fabulous chew and great flavor. The chicken was thinly sliced, tender, juicy, and absorbed much of the flavor of the spices in the dish. The onions, beans, carrots, red bell pepper, and chilies, totally complimented the dish and gave it terrific flavor and texture. I ordered the dish spicy, and the heat level was spot on. A great rendition of drunken noodles I can't wait to try other offerings from Pama Thai.

I highly recommend PAMA THAI at the Park Potomac next to Harris Teeter. Delicious food and a broad menu. Great service from both Som and Patrick. Lovely spacious restaurant. I really like the space between the patrons, the tall ceilings and that there are tables for parties of six.

A hidden gem that I found.. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, nice and cozy. Outside seating available, service was exceptional, food was tasty and flavorful. I will definitely be returning to dine in..

Larb Gai
Amy S.

This was our first visit here. Loved the simple but elegant decor. The inside dining is spacious and not packed. They have few outdoor seatings. We opted for indoors. The service was fabulous. Now on to the food. I loved Larb Gai and was happy to see it on the menu. It was definitely spicy, but I loved every bite of it. For entrees, we got the Street Noodles and Red Curry with chicken and broccoli. Both were on point. I didn't finish the Street Noodles, so I had room for sticky rice with mango. Yummy. I ate every bite. We look forward to returning and trying other items.

Another beautiful Buddha statue.

Pama Thai is a wonderful new addition to the Park Potomac shopping center. I called in my order and the gentleman on the phone was so pleasant. They are very accommodating with your order, I substituted pork in my Pad See Ew and it was no hassle. My order was ready when I got there. I had been once before, but this time I took pictures of the inside. I love all of the Thai art work, statues of different Buddha's, and the beautiful woodwork. They have pillows for your back to make it more comfortable. The house specialty, shrimp pineapple fried rice, is served in a half of pineapple. It has big shrimp, cashews, fried rice, and veggies. It was delicious and granddaughter approved. We also ordered the pad Thai with shrimp. It was very tasty. The shrimp were large and the noodles were soft and fresh. Our next dish, was the pork Pad see ew and it was good. Next time, I will probably order beef or chicken, because the pork was a little over cooked. For appetizers, we had the chicken satay. The dipping peanut sauce was scrumptious. The chicken was a little overdone, but enjoyable. We also ordered the crab Rangoon and it was great. It was crispy and fried perfectly. It had a lot of cream cheese filling and the dipping sauce was a sweet and sour delight. I thought the price point was similar to all of the Thai restaurants in our area. The portions were generous. The service was great. I will be back to try some new dishes next time.

Pad Kee Mao
Sera K.

When walking in, I liked the cozy vibes of the restaurant. I was greeted kindly and had good service throughout my meal. My mom, friend and I ordered a few dishes including the Crispy Fish, Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Pad Kee Mao. We liked everything except for the green curry as the curry spice was too strong, making the vegetables in the curry taste off. I've definitely had green curry in the area at other Thai restaurants. The other dishes we ordered were flavorful and delicious. Overall, the atmosphere was great and I liked all the dishes except for the green curry. I will be back to try other dishes and see if this place is one I will add to my regular rotation.

Pad Thai (11.1.22)
Carroll N.

11.1.22 This restaurant opened fairly recently and is located a few doors down from Harris Teeter. I made the mistake of parking in the lot by Founding Farmers. My friend drove separately and she said the lot by the restaurant is for Harris Teeter. The restaurant is more spacious than I thought it would be. Staff were friendly, one gentleman took our order and the other brought our food to us. I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice (signature dish), but asked for the shrimp to be replaced with the combo meat of chicken, pork, and beef. My friend ordered Chicken Pad Thai (signature dish) without bean sprouts and Crispy Duck Ka Prao to go for her husband. When our food was brought out to us the gentleman who took our order included the bean sprouts (it was printed on the itemized receipt) instead of having it removed so she had to ask it to be redone. I loved my fried rice and she liked her pad thai. Her hubby thought the duck was good. He said it was spicy and overpriced though. Compared to other restaurants I would agree that it is slightly more expensive, but IMO it is also one of the tastier Thai restaurants in the DMV area. This is a nice addition to Montgomery County and I look forward to returning for the Pad See Ew, one of my favorite Thai dishes.

Newly opened in Park Potomac. It's next to Harris Teeter. I called in for takeout. Was ready when we got there! Staff greeted quickly and were nice. Interior is nice and spacious. Simple decor but comfy. Got the crispy salmon roll because the pictures of the appetizer on their Instagram looked great. Ours needed some more time in the fryer. It also was mostly rice with a hint of salmon. I'd skip this one. Our red curry was with tofu. Has mild heat, but very heavy handed with the sweetness. It was ok. I would get green curry instead next time. Mango sticky rice was good. The coconut ice cream could do with a bit more coconut flavor and some toasted coconut. I hope they do well in Park Potomac! It'll be awhile before I stop by again though.

The service was quick, attentive, and had a great smile and relaxing demeanor. The food... YUM!…read more Fresh delightful flavors. We loved and shared everything we ordered. Whoever created the menu is a creative genius. We spent more time deciding what to order because reading the names in the menu was so fun. I've had Cry Baby Noodles before and this was by far the best that I had yet. The umami was so delightful I didn't use any hot sauce. I want the recipe for the fried fish tofu! Tofu is tough to get right in my world. This was fresh, not fishy, and had just the right amount of crisp. Rice me up did not disappoint either. I'm not a fan of Asian sausage. The cured pork served in this dish was delectable! The crispy curried rice added just the right crunch. The dish was not swimming in dressing and was a delight from start (at the restaurant) to finish (later at home). Next time we must go with more people so that we can try more of their dishes. Is was an unforgettable meal! Can't wait for son to get home for the holidays so that we can take him. PS- if you want to take a large group, they had a table set up by the window that could seat maybe 20 people.

Next time we are bringing the whole family and ordering a few platters. The waterfall beef salad was solid. Marinated beef with onions and salad. Think ceviche- refreshing! The Ribs in Peace are popular and a solid order for first timers. My wife opted for the Tom Kha rather than her go to Penang curry and we both really enjoyed it. The wings were okay - not my type of wing- I'm more of a sweeter or spicier type of flavor. If you have a recommendation for a different wing flavor from their menu- hit me up. Go for the sticky rice which is unique here. The bucket of Thai tea is good for two. We asked for half ice and they charge 4$ for half ice. I can't imagine what full ice bucket tea is like since there was a lot of ice -. The pandan crème brûlée was refreshing. More of a pudding with torched sugar on top. I may try my hand at a true pandan crème brûlée as it would be a great idea if the texture was a little more custard like. 5 stars for the experience and flavors! We will be back to try the other dishes that everyone around us were ordering.

This place was absolutely fantastic…read more Reminiscent of an Asian hawker/ Buffalo wild wings but with significantly better food. I couldn't say enough about the service, bartender / guide really helped us get through the extensive menu and drinks. The place seemed pretty lively for a Monday with lots of hustle and bustle.

The bar seem to be the best spot to sit for some people watching and to enjoy your meal although they were decent enough amount of high tops and booths.

My friend got a Thai iced tea and I got a hot ginger tea. The tea was very tasty. The menu is pan Asian and tells you what country is represented by each dish. For restaurants, I generally believe a jack of all trades is a master of none. Hawkers is no exception. The food was not good. Lacked flavor for both of our dishes. I got the ramen with tofu, chicken, shrimp. The shrimp was a single piece bisected. The birth had no flavor. The portion was big. My friend got a noodle dish and felt the same. She used the sauce from the spring rolls to make her noodles more appetizing. Again it wasn't busy but seemed like change of shift so it was hard to get a hold of or waiter. Event for the check. He brought the POS for my friend to pay and it took 5-10 minutes to hail him down again so I could pay. All in all it's a great concept with good decor but at the end of the day, the food and service were a let down. There is a free parking deck and the bathroom was clean.

I've been here a million times so I don't know how I haven't written a review yet! Parking isn't great for the Fells Point location, there is some street parking nearby, but most of it is paid. It can be a task to find a parking spot that isn't too far away. Be prepared to walk a block or two! Their service is very friendly, and you are able to place orders in person or online through their website. If you are in a rush, I would definitely recommend placing an online order and picking it up. Since everything is made to order, it can take 10-20 mins if you're placing an order in person. Their storefront is pretty small as well, not much seating if you're looking to eat there. Also, if it is around lunch or dinner time, it can get pretty packed and loud in there. Definitely more of a takeout spot. You genuinely can't go wrong with anything on the menu, however, my favorites are the Neighborhood bird bowl, the tofu nuggets, crab rangoon egg roll, and the ramen broccoli. Prices are a bit hefty, but portions are sizeable and typically shareable. I'll be back again and again!

The avocado roll, although a simple arrangement of rice, seaweed and avocado, was very good. A nice big chunk of avocado in each piece. The steamed dumpling (6 in the serving) were large, each with a good texture and nice flavor inside. The inside veggies taste like what I would associate with the vegetable insides of an egg roll. Nothing fancy, but tasty. We ordered from the Healthy menu to be . . . healthy. It's billed as no oil, low salt and sauce on the side. In addition to being tasty, the meats were flavorful and had a good chew, and the veggies were nice and crisp. The sauce on the side concept really worked for us. We used total a little more than half of one (the garlic sauce) and a little of the other (brown sauce). And the garlic sauce was really spicy and good. The service tonight was great. Our water glasses were filled several times each, without us having to ask. This is the only restaurant in the area that I know of that includes "sauce on the side" on the menu. We recently went to a Chinese restaurant in Rockville and asked for sauce on the side - they responded that "we don't do that." It was a cold night tonight and the restaurant was really, really cold inside. I'm deducting a point from my otherwise 5-star rating because it was pretty uncomfortable. I'm upping this place from a 3 to a 4 star. Worth a visit, just probably not on a cold night.
