    Inside
    Braie M.

    It was empty when my husband and I went in so it was obviously *very* fast service! And service with a smile! I love the smaller interior. It has such a pretty feel to it! We had the spring rolls which were the perfect crunch! We also both had Panang Curry (one chicken and one pork) which had the *perfect* amount of heat (level 1). We will definitely return!

    This place is popular in the neighborhood. They love this place & the staff shows love in return. I've been supporting Thai Palace for years because I enjoy this cuisine & they consistently deliver fresh flavorful food. I've been eating my way thru the menu & appreciate them offering several vegetarian options. I can add whatever protein I want. I love the vegetarian curry puffs that's served with cucumber/ tomato vinaigrette. I also need to mention the spice levels. My nose is still running from my crab fried rice with a Spice Level of 1. Consider the warnings!!!! Thai Palace's Level 1 Spice is equivalent to Level 3 at other Thai places. The Thai Iced Tea & Iced Coffee are delicious as well. Most of the time, I call ahead for carry out. Plan for 45-60 min wait Friday -Saturday night. That parking lot with TinderBox gets crowded. Occasionally I dine in. Casual vibes and service is good.

    Pad Pong Curry Chicken

    Amazing Thai Cuisine! Had a fantastic dinner at Thai Palace with my daughter, and we both loved it! We started with the satay chicken - no disappointment here! Entrees: drunken noodles with shrimp and pad pong curry. Both dishes were packed with heat & flavor. The spice rack was a new experience for my daughter, but she embraced the heat and loved it! The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a place we'll return to for delicious, authentic Thai food. Highly recommend!

    THEY OFFER FREE ICE CREAM/MOCKTAILS IN EXCHANGE FOR REVIEWS, so beware of the fishy reviews from people who have 1-2 reviews. Honestly, if you don't eat a lot of Thai food, you might think that this is outstanding, but the food here was not great. Worse than that was the smell of sewage when we first walked in and the attitude of the server, Leann. When we were first seated, everything was fine, the table was definitely not as clean as it should have been considering that the restaurant was pretty much empty, but I'm never one to make a big fuss over a couple crumbs, especially at a mom and Pop, and especially when I'm treating my kid to her favorite dinner out. However, the entire dining experience felt relatively rushed. Leann took our order, brought the drinks out within a reasonable amount of time, and then within one minute of the food bring brought out (by someone else), she asked if we were doing OK and the food looked good. We told her we were fine. Less than 10 minutes later, she checked back on our table and asked if we needed boxes yet? Like, girl, chill. I am here with my child trying to enjoy a meal. I told her I would need them eventually. A few minutes later, she brings two boxes and the check for "whenever I'm ready." I didn't think too much of it, because as a former server, I understand getting people the things they need and anticipating needs before people have to ask. I wasn't tripping off of it too much. However, when she circled back three times to try to get the payment within three minutes, and we hadn't even boxed our food or finished eating, it was annoying. Eventually, I gave her the payment and asked for another box. While she was anticipating needs, she clearly didn't think that I would want to take the $10 spring rolls I had paid for. At this point, it's not a huge deal to me. However, after she brought the check back, I noticed that the Coca-Cola I've been drinking was six dollars. I likely overlooked the price on the menu, but I was taken aback because the Coke had been so watered down and syrupy. For a two or three dollar drink, I would've let it slide. But for six dollars? So, I asked her if that was the real price. She immediately got an attitude. She responded with "I don't make the price " and I told her that it was a little syrupy and watered down. She said nothing else, and walked away with an attitude. At that point, my daughter and I, sitting all the way in the back corner, heard her telling the manager at the front of the restaurant about the situation. With an attitude, I could hear her loudly saying, "She's complaining about the soda, but why didn't she say that before I took the card?" Girl, because I was simply asking. I didn't even ask you to take it off. I was just legitimately shocked and wanted to double-check because it was listed as "soda small" as if there was another option. She repeated herself at the front multiple times, which led to other patrons of the restaurant, turning and looking at us at our table. Obnoxious, immature, and embarrassing. Like, I could understand if I had asked her to take it off, but I was literally just inquiring and letting her know that the soda was not what it should've been for six dollars. So at that point, I walked to the front of the restaurant and spoke to the manager. He told me he understood and agreed she was rude and that he was sorry. I explained to him how disrespectful her attitude and behavior had been, reiterated that I did not appreciate the sewage smell that I mentioned to her when we first came in that she told us she "was probably just used to" and that this type of experience for a first time guest was absolutely not appreciated. All he could say was "I understand." This is part of the reason why I always get my Thai food across the river. The food in and of itself was not great. Three stars at best. The carrots in the fried rice were burnt, and the peas were somehow undercooked and mealie. Further, it looked as if the crab had been tossed in after the rice had been cooked because the rice did not have any sort of crab or even seafood like flavor at all and the crab and rice were different temperatures. This was not a $78 meal. Or at least it shouldn't have been. I did not tip after this experience with the server and I don't feel bad about it at all. I would not recommend this place and I absolutely won't be back. More food specifics: -spring rolls: fine, but basic. Stuffed with veggies. -Thai tea: overly sweet and low-quality tea used. You couldn't even taste the red tea, just the hyper-sweet milk. I prefer a better balance. Yes, Thai tea is sweet but the bitterness of the tea usually balances it out.

    First time coming to this spot. It's cozy with plenty of space. My squad was seated quickly. After taking a looking over the menu seafood basil fried rice was the choice. First the staff were very attentive. Everything came to the table quickly. The basil fried rice was outstanding. The flavor and spice was perfect. Definitely a spot I'll be back to.

    Pad Thai my all time favorite

    My previous review was about a year ago. I must say Thai Palace is still one of my favorite local eats. Whether I'm starving or just looking for a convenient, delicious dish I love coming here. This visit was very last minute. My mom called, I missed her call she was callling to see if I knew whether the restaurant was open. We just had a lot of snow and she wanted to be sure before coming this way from the national harbor. She had my grandmother with her who is 100% blind. We had a great lunch experience. The restaurant was not too busy, the music level and selection was perfect. We were able to enjoy our lunch and our time together. I do wish they had handicap assistance on the entrance door. The front door is very heavy and not easily maneuvered by those with impairments.

    My favorite Thai spot in Waldorf. I really enjoy the chicken and shrimp fried rice. I didn't like the shrimp. They were fried too hard. The peach lemon drop was a different touch. All in all you can't go wrong with the fried rice #EatGoodAndBeHappy

    Pad Thai Noodles
    Courtney C.

    I've lived in Waldorf for nearly 5 years and I still get anxious trying new places. I was at the barber shop waiting for my son to get a cut and I'd already tried my luck when Roy Rogers so I wasn't going back. I ordered shrimp fried rice as I felt that would be an easy thing to eat and a hard thing to ruin for most places. I placed the order over the phone and was able to pick it up within 15mins. Shrimp fried rice: 8/10 I was so hungry that I opened it immediately and shared it with my kids (2). The shrimp were huge and plentiful and the flavor was perfect. I added duck sauce and it sent it over the top. It had two large cuts of tomatoes in it which I didn't enjoy at that size but it gave the dish a nice bite and switch in texture. For $18 it came in a circular dish and I don't know if the rectangular one is technically bigger but I would've expected more for the money. It was so good I went back two days later because I was bummed I had to share it with my kids haha. The second time around I ordered pad Thai noodles and I sat inside while I waited. The place is just big enough for maybe 40 ppl if all the seating was available as well as a bar area. The woman who helped me was very nice, greeted me, took my order and brought me my food within 20mins. I'd give the noodles a 5/10. They were a little dry and the green onion was in large cuts throughout the dish which I didn't enjoy. I probably wouldn't go back for that dish but I'd be willing to try more. The stars are for the service and food quality overall.

    These are definitely stingray fins. Definitely NOT scallops!!!
    Clifford H.

    I'm not too experienced with Thai food but this food wasn't impressive by any standards. Also the "scallops" are all the way sting ray fins.

    We came to Thai Palace for do with some friends. We were immediately seated and place our appetizer and drink order. We had the vegetable spring rolls for our appetizer. The egg rolls were cooked to perfection and was served fresh! For our food we ordered the Thai beef and the red curry chicken. Both were made exceptionally well. We ordered the Tokyo Tea and my wife had a Long Island Tea. Both were made very well and strong. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Thai palace is the place for tasty Thai dishes. Stop by and give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Bad service overall, and then this? Make it make sense! Later I approached her about it but received more attitude. The more she spoke the more disrespectful her tone and breath became. I couldn't take it anymore. We graciously paid and left an hour before the party and ended. Please train your staff better and put some policies in place so there's no room for such errors in the future for other guests. She killed the vibe, even the GM apologized for her. We have to do better - if we want better in these spaces.

I was unable to enjoy or finish my 90-minute meal because I did not like the sauce that was served, yet there seemed to be little willingness to accommodate or adjust the dish to my preferences. As a paying customer, I believe there should be more flexibility when a guest is dissatisfied with part of their meal. While the service was pleasant, the strict policies and unwillingness to make reasonable adjustments left me with a disappointing experience. I am not one to say this but I do not recommend this place at ALL. In response to owner: Thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate that you chose not to charge me a waste fee. However, I would like to clarify that this was only my second sauce selection change. My goal was simply to order something without sauce so I could enjoy the remainder of my 90-minute dining experience. Unfortunately, the meal did not meet my expectations and, in my opinion, was not worth the price. As a customer, I believe there should be more flexibility when someone is dissatisfied with an item, especially when reasonable alternatives are available. There are several other restaurants that offer similar dining experiences at a lower price point and without what I feel is an excessive gratuity charge. While I appreciate your response, the overall experience left me disappointed and unlikely to return.

The food is solid but the prices are a bit more expensive than Crafty Crab, which is about 10min down the road. Also, Crafty Crab offers broiled oysters which are a favorite of mine.

We originally came to use the 2 for 12 culinary classics special but ended up adding proteins, drinks, and garlic bread so with everything (two bowls with protein, two drinks, cheesy garlic bread), the total was a little over $30. I could've done without the protein in my bowl. In my opinion Noodles and Company is one of those places that tastes better with all the "fixins", so if you can add anything to elevate your bowl I highly suggest it. However, the proteins are pretty basic and don't seem to add much pizzazz to the dishes. My partner complained that the noodles were heavy and greasy, but mine were . Not your traditional pad Thai but pretty decent for a chain. I asked for no cilantro (yuck). The cheesy bread barely had any cheese on it, was a bit dry, and I didn't care for the flavor of it, so I probably won't order that again. Service was good and our food came out in about 10 minutes.

While the spicy Korean steak noodles had a similar flavor, the tenderness of the steak and the spicy complement helped to distract from whatever they put on the noodles that dampens the dishes.
