Khao Soi (Chicken) - already mixed in toppings.  Great taste
Roberto B.

Came back for the Khao Soi. Great taste but more noodles than soup - needed more soup. No hard noodles either. Still great taste and if you haven't tried this dish somewhere, do so.

Tom Yum Veggies Soup
Jeff B.

This is a solid Thai restaurant. Nice atmosphere, good service and the food is terrific. My partner and I started with soup - a Tom Yum and a Tom Kha, both with vegis. Each cup was chock full of vegis and the broths were delicious. For entrees, we had the Panang Curry (combo - pork, chicken, beef) and the Drunken Noodles (pork). The Drunken Noodles were spiced with thinly sliced jalapeños, which were spicy but could easily be eaten by a spice lover. The Curry was rich, with a delicious peanut flavor. As I said, the servers were attentive and filled our water glasses several times, without us having to ask. A few reviews here comment on small portion sizes. That was not the experience we had this evening.

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.

Curry Puff

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.

Thai Fried Rice-vegan..
LA A.

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 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.

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.

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.

Fried Calamari
Tracy B.

This is the second time we ordered from here this week. The quality and taste of the entree's are excellent. We tried the Chicken Cashew Nut, Calamari, and Green Curry Tofu. The second time we tried the Pad Thai Shrimp, Calamari, and Green Curry Tofu. The Chicken was a little too spicy but the Medium spice in the curry was excellent! I may even try it spicier next time. The service was great and friendly.

Surprisingly delicious dishes. One of the best pad Thai in town. I came with my parents and we each got the lunch special. My mom got the shrimp pad Thai ( I tasted it and I'm going to get my own next time lol) with spring roll. My dad got the chicken pad ginger (it's just ok) with fried wonton and I got green salad with thick peanut sauce dressing and green curry-perfectly spiced for my taste. Service was ok. Our server wasn't all that friendly but overall service was efficient. A little more effort of friendliness (wasn't that busy) would have tipped my review to 5 stars. Ample free parking and close to other shops and Harris Teeter is in the same shopping center. Conveniently located to a medical building so for my purposes it was the perfect location ! Absolutely love the decor. Clean and neat. Will come back to try the other dishes.

Very kind people. Thursday I had a delicious quinoa salad bowl with tender grilled chicken it was so good that I went back Friday and had it again and added Mo's special to my order. It was a delicious wrap with steak, hummus, pickles etc . It was fantastic. I am gluten free, the wrap was made of sun dried tomato and something else. I cant recall what , but it was delicious. I have enjoyed every meal I have ever tried. If you like great fresh healthy food with a warm environment District Falafel is the place !! Nef

I LOVE falafel! Because I just absolutely love falafel so much, I know falafel! I eat it everywhere…read moreI can -- and can safely say this is the BEST! It's accessible with plenty of parking nearby, including several disabled parking spots right out front, is absolutely beautiful inside with stunning black-and-white tiles adorning the counter (where you can order -- although there is also a screen-type ordering system in the entryway, as well) wall, enticing photos of all the important things in life -- those being fresh figs, olives, spices, and unfiltered coffee being poured, all along the wall above the tables with most comfortable seating! There are Turkish plates and copper pots hung above, as well, to give a splendid feeling of how food can be heartily prepared and beautifully served -- and beautifully served it is here! The caffeine-free mint tea comes in a gorgeous metal pot and is drunk from a glass glass (meaning a glass made of glass, not ceramic) with eye-catching decorations that will help to bring you into the spirit of the meal you are about to have .... The Quinoa Tabouli Salad with Falafel is spectacular! It's standout amazing, delicious, refreshingly oh-so-fresh, crispy, crunchy, yummy -- how many good-to-great things can I say about it? If I keep complimenting it as much as it deserves, you might get bored, ha ha! You might think that I'm exaggerating. I'm not. Of course, it's possible I'm biased and have tastes that just happen to align with this particular falafel spot's way of preparing things -- but I think not! I think this is objectively over-the-top in greatness! The District Salad is equally splendiferous and worth your time to indulge in savouring every bite. There are so many great-looking things here I can't wait to try! I must taste the Shorbat Adas (puréed lentil soup), (non-quinoa) Tabouli, Toom, and many other things here! The variety is very wowing! Most places just don't give you this variety in terms of various dishes or the variety within each dish that this place does -- and that contributes greatly to not only your appetite but also your health. So much care is clearly put into everything here from the décor to the drinks to the hospitality. It's really like a mini, super-tasty trip to the Near East -- and welcomes everyone equally. I'm so glad I stopped in! I can't wait to go back! Highly recommended! Very much deserving of an absolute, all-around Yay! :-D (By the way, from a not-falafel fan I know: 'You know I'm not a fan of falafel, but that was really good -- everything! We need not ever go back to the other place -- even if it's free!' What better endorsement could there be?)

What a delicious spot to grab Thai food in a fast-casual environment! This is probably one of my…read morefavorite spots to grab a bite to eat at the Mall, especially since they also serve some refreshing cocktails. You can build your own bowl or pick from one of their signature bowls - my favorites are the Fans' Favorite and Kapow Fried Rice with Grilled Steak. For a snack, I suggest the Buddy Wings and Larb Meatballs. For drinks, can't go wrong with the Thai Tea, Thai Green Thai, or Boss Ladies (alcoholic). Service is super friendly.

There weren't any other customers, so I was just standing face-to-face a little uncomfortably until he said anything. The build-your-own-bowl concept suggests that the bowl will be made while you're ordering but I had to wait about 30 minutes for my order to be ready. I was a little confused about their process because they have a lot of the bowl ingredients at the front, and the cashier would sometimes work on the bowls, but then stop and stand by the register/go on his phone. When we ordered, he didn't start making any but when others ordered after us, he made theirs on the spot. The customers who ordered after us were getting served first too, which was a little confusing/unfair. My order was only 2 bowls, so I didn't expect this to happen. When my bowl came, several of the toppings were missing too. Overall, I was pretty disappointed by my second time here.

I don't know why, but I was really impressed by the staff. Friendly, patient, knowledgable and hard-working, they didn't miss a beat while assisting the customers coming in. I love the low maintenance approach with the larger than life mission: helping and giving back to those most desperately in need. After taking my time to walk around the store and take in the iconography, I've gotta say I'm impressed and will come back in the future.

I've had the Falafel Bowl at the Pike and Rose location before, and it was good, but just wanted something relatively cheap and small since we were about to have a big dinner. Stumbled upon Falafel Inc and got a $5 falafel sandwich. First of all...WHAT A STEAL. For $5 it doesnt get better! The falafel itself was super crispy, the lettuce, tomato, and onion were fresh. We got some of the white sauces on the side and devoured the thing at the counter within 5 mins. If you're looking for a snack at the mall highly recommend getting their falafel sandwich!
