We liked our first dinner at Charm Thai. Our experience was casual and good. The Pad Thai with…read moreChicken was reliably enjoyable. The seasoning on the noodles was more red than brown and I liked the sweeter flavor. I've had this style of Pad Thai before and it seems more authentic. I enjoyed that the sauce wasn't too much or 'goopy.' In other words, it wasn't too thick or strong. We ordered an extra side of thin rice noodles to add to our Pad Thai. It was $4 for a small bowl, but I might have preferred a larger portion for that price. As with others reviews, the basic garden salad was one step up with yellow peppers, red peppers, tomatoes, onions and delightful version of the traditional Thai peanut sauce. The portion size makes this garden salad worth the $9.95 price point. We loved the mango with sticky rice dessert. It was so delicious with the thick, sweet coconut rice sauce and sesame seed (I think) garnish. #localtastebyjenny

It's been quite some time since I've been to Amina Thai and was in the mood so...here we are…read more We decided on Pad Thai (chicken), Drunken noodles (Shrimp), and samosas...wow. Delicious. You can adjust the heat (we chose medium) and the portions are generous. Keep in mind that Thai food can be extremely spicy, so choose wisely :D I can't get over how exceptional everything tasted. I remember it being good but not like this. The chicken tasted CLEAN (this requires a full-blown conversation to explain) and had the perfect bite. If you're ordering takeout then make sure to mix the noodles before eating. The samosas were PERFECT. Is it pricier than other places? Yes. Does the taste match the price? Also yes. Keep in mind that sometimes it's because of the ingredient quality and where it comes from. Some are simply more expensive than others. My attitude towards Thai food is a bit of a love/hate situation, but Amina just might put me back on the love wagon. Some places have this overwhelming fishy taste in everything, which I truly hate. From the depths of my soul. Oh yes, and it's also Halal. Bonus :D Order some takeout or dine in, whatever tickles your fancy, and enjoy!

Amina Thai in Silver Spring, MD has been a good experience on the few occasions I have dined. Their…read morestyle and production of Thai cuisine seems to be consistent with that of others of similar caliber in the area and DMV as a whole. Their staple dishes such as Drunken Noodles, Thai Fried Rice, Kaprow Fried Rice, Pad Broccoli and such are pretty much consistent with the way in which others of similar caliber produce it in the DMV. The food here is always fresh and delicious. I am satisfied with the quantity of food you get for the price you pay. I recommend exercising caution when experimenting with their menu items that specifically indicate SPICY because in my experience spicy here means loaded which chili pepper and almost to the point where you might miss the overall flavor of the dish due to the heat being so much in the foreground. Storefront street parking is terrible so you'll need to take advantage of nearby parking garages if you are not walking. Overall a good experience. I'll continue to patronize this place. Give them a try.

Not as good as it used to be sadly. First time back in 1 year…read more Sure portions are smaller like every where in this day and age but prices are bigger too. Regardless of that, if you think a pad Thai is a safety dish for a kid you're trying to convince that Thai is good, this is not the place to get it anymore. It was overly fish saucy and tangy, and bits of noodles buried under neath. The crispy spring rolls were over cooked like almost charred and the contents also tasted burnt. My Panang curried shrimp was ok but the shrimp had absolutely no flavor. Just tasted boiled, thrown in the sauce. Service was kind but slow despite there being three servers now instead of the one fellow who used to work there. Also wine glasses and portions are smaller but at least the price is still reasonable. Can't say I'll be back any time soon if ever sadly, but it's nice to see that they seem to have a bunch of local regulars who still come.

Theres a tiny…read moreparking entrance straight off of Carrol that's free for an hour and then $4 an hour after (even if you're 5 min past!) so it's just better to do meter or come after 7p and the meters are free! It's also a short walk from Takoma Metro. Cute and casual place. I didn't need reservations on Friday night or Monday night coming around 6:30 or 7 PM. It's probably harder and bigger groups but if you're just coming in two or four or even six, it should be pretty manageable. My favorite here is the pad Thai. I get extra lime and the spicy tray. And it's one of the best pad Thais I've had. The drunken noodles was OK and the green curry was OK for me. Not bad but also not what I'd be returning for (I'm coming back for pad thai!) my husband loved the green curry though. Service is pleasant and nothing over the top and water is topped off timely manner. Absolutely no complaints. They have two single stall bathrooms and that's kept pretty clean. They're outside seating is for takeout so that's kind of pleasant if you wanna do takeout and just eat it outside.

I love their southern style pad thai. It is anything but basic. It's always moist and flavorful. All of the vegetables are crispy and not soggy, or overcooked with no signs of having sat out for a long time. My experience with this restaurant has been through delivery. However, that makes me give them even more credit because the food always comes fresh, hot, not dry or poorly packaged. I'm ready to give it five stars based on that experience, so I'm sure dining in is even better.

Every dish feels fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared. The curries are rich and aromatic without being overwhelming, the noodles are perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the balance of herbs, spice, and sweetness is spot-on. It's the kind of place where you find yourself taking slower bites just to savor everything. And I have to mention the lychee martini--easily one of the best I've had. Light, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweetness, it pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of the dishes. It's the kind of drink you order "just to try" and then end up thinking about days later. Whether you're grabbing a casual dinner or celebrating something special, Kao Thai delivers consistently delicious food, great drinks, and a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend!
