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.
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.
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
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.
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.

Oh my goodness.....I wish I had never found this place because now I'm completely addicted! Everything I've ordered has been absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. Since discovering this restaurant, I've ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp seven times, the Pad Thai with shrimp twice, the shrimp lo mein five times, and the fried rice twice. I've also tried the Thai tea and the curry puffs, and every single item has been amazing. The flavors are rich, fresh, and consistently delicious every time I order. It's hard to find a restaurant that's this consistent, but they never disappoint. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I eat here one to three times a week because the food is that good. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Thai food that keeps you coming back, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Just be warned you might end up as hooked as I am! read more
I love this quaint spot. The food is always served hot and fresh. The drinks are always made to perfection and the bartender is always going to deliver great service and drinks of perfection. It's a ticked away spot that you definitely should try if you're in the area. read more
It's our go to Thai restaurant in Waldorf for sure. Most times we order to go, but there is plenty of seating and a full bar if you do choose to dine in. My go to meal is the Thai Beef Steak. The sauce is flavorful and comes with mixed vegetables. I ordered with extra broccoli(+$3) and added chicken(+$7). When I got home with my order I noticed there was barely any broccoli outside of the original portion (I literally counted 6 pieces in the whole dish) and not nearly enough chicken to justify the additional costs. The rice portion that you receive with the entree also was noticeably smaller. For $40 I expected more. read more

Amazing place! Tried the Pad Se Ew Beef, Shrimp Fried Rice, Coconut Tom Kha, Beef Pad Pineapple and everything was amazing! The best Thai food I've tasted in the area, hands down! Also enjoyed some hot sake ( $14 for a large carafe). Prices in general were on the lower side, most dishes were $17. Ample parking outside, very clean establishment, low lighting, not very big, but also doesn't feel cramped. My server was good, it's easy to flag them down since the building isn't that large : if you need someone, and they also had another person going around asking if you needed anything, so I never felt like I was being ignored. Overall great experience, will be back! read more

I've always seen this place in Waldorf but have never tried it and I'm so glad I finally did. The ambiance was quiet and it's not a huge restaurant but that's okay, I like the small homey feel. The service was on point also. My server was prompt, accurate and friendly. I was solo but there were a few small groups and some folks sitting at the bar. They had some good throwback R&B jams playing while the basketball game was on. My food was delicious!! I started with the spring rolls. They were piping hot and super crispy which I loved. I got the pad see ew with beef. I recently got into Thai food and I've only tried one other place but Thai Palace beats it by a long shot. The beef was tender and the portion was more than generous. I had leftovers for the next day. Also, beware of the spice levels. Their level 1 spice is equivalent to level 3 at other restaurants. I got a 0.5 spice level which was flavorful but not spicy. They also have a very extensive drink menu. I got the blueberry lemon drop which was really good and you could actually taste the alcohol. I'll be back to try more drinks and dishes soon. The prices are also reasonable considering the portions and quality. I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for some good, authentic Thai food at a reasonable price. read more
I have seen and drove by this place so many times. I heard it was good and saw the reviews. So my sisters and I decided to come and fellowship and eat. And I am sooo glad we did. The place is small. But the ambiance is nice. The staff is friendly. Your food comes out pretty quick. The spice is level is not for the weak. So be careful. Level 1 is your best option unless you want your nose running and your throat to close. But if you have a tolerant for spice then you are good. The drinks were on point. They play some very good music. Make you tap your toes and want to bust out and do a move or two. I am definitely coming back!!! If you are in the neighborhood check out this place. read more

Yes! Two thumbs up! The service and food were wonderful. I did witness the professionalism of one of the servers I will share. There was a table of four adults. They ordered a variety of entrees. Once the food was brought out, one of the women said in a demanding, rude way- "Bring me the sauce to put on it!". The waiter didn't know what she was talking about but acquiesced and bought out two plastic containers of soy sauce. (Yes, there was a bottle of soy sauce on the table). I applaud him- I would have handed her a bottle of ketchup. Anyway, I stuck to me favorites Tom Kha and Drunken Noodles with shrimp. Just wonderful. The menu had a sundry of choices and there was a playful menu of adult beverages as well. read more

So I'm say I normally have a great time here. It's actually one of my go to places but I've now had 3 bad experiences so yeah. I got food from here the other night, the portions of you get extra noodle are normally good. This time the noodles weren't mushy which they were last time but there was a piece of hard plastic glass type of material in my noodles so this will prob be my last time here unless I just go for drinks which are delicious. read more

All I can say is when I'm back in Waldorf I'll be coming here again! When I tell you the shrimp basil rice is FIRE! Please believe it baby! This ish was sooo damn good! I can tell it's authenticity is real! The coconut sweet sticky rice is really good too...nice, warm, gooey...yes that is the ish too! I didn't know they was doing the "to-go" alcohol so I just ordered a blue motorcycle. They accidentally made a large which costs $26! Uh no ma'am I'm not paying that for one drink when I can get a whole bottle for less. So I asked to get the "small" which was still kind of high $13. But it was strong so I can be mad at them for that. I kind of wish I would have paid more attention to the other drinks available for the "to-go" menu because the has some good sounding drinks. I will definitely make that a priority to try others. The interior of the restaurant is very nice small and I can see that they can not accommodate too large of a crowds, but they will seat a group very comfortably. Again I will try to make sure I get there early to get a seat and to experience dining in. Until next time.... read more

The quality of their food has diminished greatly over the years but lately, it's been giving carry out and this restaurant used to be too notch. This is the fourth time in a short span that I have had issues with my orders. The noodles have been dry or greasy. They always through in a whole pack of tofu (not my favorite and barely enough sauce to even need rice. Their inconsistency is becoming consistent and the flavor is lacking and not as robust as it once was and everything is oily. read more
