    Thai iced tea
    Khanh-Chau M.

    Everything was so good here with taste and portions. Staff were nice, even when we came late. The interior in this spot is quite lovely too. They presented all the items nicely, even my Thai ice tea. The food was filling and great! I particularly love the sauce here; I asked for more!

    Chicken pad Thai
    Tara A.

    Pad Thai could be saucier but had a lot of flavor. Medium spice had a nice amount of heat. Perfect for me. Chicken wasn't dry like most places. It was soft. Will definitely order again.

    Boat Noodle Soup
    Michael N.

    Hands down the best Thai restaurant in the area! I go there regularly and get the boat noodle soup. I've been to multiple Thai restaurants in in Rockville/Bethesda/Potomac but this one tastes very authentic. Some of my other favorites here include: Ka nom jeeb and the crying tiger salad. Service is very fast and orders always come out correctly. They make sure you are comfortable with the spice level prior to ordering. I usually get 1-2 pepper levespice as my tolerance for spicy food is low. Shalom is a great bartender and the manager, Chu, is very friendly and always greets me with a smile. The ambiance is classy and the restaurant is very clean.. I mostly go there by myself. My parents love this place too and they were never big Thai food fans until they ate here. Highly recommended!

    Chicken Ka Pow
    lisa w.

    My mouth is on fire. The food is delicious. But the heat! We said that we like 'spicy' and they delivered! The tom yum soup with shrimp was complex and flavorful and the mushrooms were so FRESH! The chicken ka pow was also well seasoned and delicious. My partner tried the chicken satay and he said that he would get them again (good sign). The restaurant's vibe is chill and low key. You can have a conversation and the music is low enough to exist without being disruptive. The service is a little slow but we can close to closing time so that might have something to do with it. Overall great food. Well worth a visit.

    Green curry, Duck roti. Both delicious!

    I live around the area and had driven past here so many times. I finally tired it!! The restaurant is located at the Montrose Crossing shopping center next to Marshall's. Parking is ample, area is well lit and friendly. This was my first time and I couldn't stay, so I ordered take out. The restaurant itself is very cute! Well lit and nicely decorated. I walked in and went straight to the counter. The person behind the counter was very friendly. Greeted me with a smile and asked if I came to pick up an order. I took my order and went home to try! Food was yummy!!! I ordered the green curry and the duck roti. Everything was well packaged, and perfect temperature. Food was delicious! It had great flavor, perfect spice and an adequate amount (I even had left overs). Overall very happy and would like to go back to dine in!

    Pad see ew, tom kha gai, green curry with chicken
    Lauren N.

    Great! I got three items for delivery (through Uber Eats), and they were all fantastic! Green curry with chicken, tom kha gai, and pad see ew with chicken. All tasted great - full of flavor. Held up great as leftovers, too. Would definitely order from again.

    Tamarind shrimp. So good!
    Justin P.

    Big plates big services, family style. Parking garage next to the restaurant or parking lot right across with the other stores. Very nice inside, priced well for the food. Delicious Thai food! Nothing too much to say about it. The pictures can speak for themselves about how nice it's presented and how delicious this place is.

    Lovely place, it was spacious and beautifully decorated. Thai restaurants have been upping their game on the aesthetic department. Food was big in servings, they have good amount on the plates. It is pricier than your average thai eatery but of course it comes with it when its actual ambience is a bit upscale. We went here on a sunday afternoon, I had the crispy pork belly with white rice. It was delicious and all my friends and cousins had great food as well. See photos! The service was great. They are always asking us if everything was good. It was in the middle of the afternoon that's why it was a bit empty but i liked that. We were able to mingle and have fun together. Overall a great place to eat and unwind a bit

    Drunken Noodles
    Juanita Q.

    Came here last weekend. Wanted to try this place based on the great reviews and since the place resembles a cave from the outside. It was also really nice inside. Ordered the Drunken Noodles, which was good but I've had much better at other local restaurants. My daughter ordered the Satay Chicken skewers, which didn't come out with my dish. Needless to say, she did not like the seasoning at all. I told the waitress, and she didn't even attempt to care, nor offer a slight discount, since I had to order her the Fried Ribs (which were cut into small pieces with the bones). She didn't love this either but ate some of it with white rice. I personally thought the ribs were good. No kid friendly options available. The waitress was neither friendly, nor unfriendly. And it took a while for us to get the later order in, even after we told her we would be ordering something else. Anyway, not sure if I'll be back.

    2.21.25 This restaurant replaced the former Tara Thai in Montrose Crossing. The food is delicious and likely the best that I've had in recent months. I highly recommend the duck roti, Moo Ping (pork skewers), and taro custard. During the holidays, I had the duck roti at another Thai restaurant, which I found to be disappointing. Today, I was impressed because the duck roti tasted fresh and wasn't dry like at the other restaurant. The sticky rice for the Moo Ping and taro custard were tender and chewy. The pork skewers were succulent. The service was friendly, and the food came out fast. This may just be one of my new favorite Thai restaurants in Montgomery County. I can't wait to return to try other menu items. I highly recommend it.

    Maitai, mango mojito, lychee
    Mimi W.

    The old Tara Thai restaurant at Montrose Crossing revamped to a new Thai place! Been waiting to try this place and decided to go with a group of my gym buddies, 9 of us. The decor was bright and inviting and it was decently crowded on a Friday night, but oddly the early crowd was very quiet. We stayed about 4 hours until close drinking and chatting and they didn't bother us. It got a little more lively later in the night, but they definitely needed to turn up the music to set the vibe, especially on a Friday night if they want the bar to fill. Their drinks were pretty and good as well. 4 star for ambiance. Service was great the first half, everything came out fast and piping hot. But then a couple in our group came late and one order wasn't put in and another took a while to come. 3.5 star for service. Food was good, pretty standard, but we didn't really order from their "ThaiRock Street Food (Signature)" menu either. I took a bite of everyone's food and their fried rice had a good "wok" taste. I love when they put the pineapple fried rice in the shell, then you know they're fresh pineapples! Crab fried rice and Pad Thai was surprisingly spicy or maybe that's just how my friends ordered them! Chicken satay had a nice sweetness to the flavor, and the curry puff and spring rolls were fried nicely. Mango sticky rice was chopped up a bit thick and it was purple rice, but the portion was a bit small. Overall 4 star for food.

    Tom Yum
    Al H.

    I've been on a Tom Yum soup adventure the past two weeks. I've tried Tom Yum at a number of different establishments in the Bethesda/Rockville area. I ordered Tom Yum with vegetables. The price was nine dollars. Somewhat higher than others I've tried The broth was excellent. The right amount of heat, strong, lime flavor. Great consistency and color. I'm used to seeing an abundance of mushrooms and cilantro which I did not find in this dish. I counted three very small mushrooms and really could not find cilantro in the dish. I tried vegetables rather than chicken on this offering and it was disappointing. 70% of the vegetables were cabbage. Two small slices of carrot and two very small miniature corns? two or three snow peas. I really wish the variety had been a little more balanced. Also no cherry tomatoes. I would give the broth a 5 and the veggie component 2.5 to 3.

    Nasty hard fatty pieces of poor quality meat.
    David T.

    I was excited to see another Thai restaurant open nearby since I love Thai food and always enjoy trying new spots. Unfortunately, this one was a miss. On the positive side, the staff were extremely kind and patient, and I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free options -- a big plus for me. The restaurant itself has a nice look and feel, and the menu was promising. However, the food fell short. I ordered the white garlic and pepper dish -- something I've tried at just about every Thai place I frequent -- and this version was disappointing. It almost felt like the chef had never made it before. I chose beef and shrimp, and both were overcooked. The beef, in particular, was very poor quality. I had to spit out several pieces due to bad cuts. While the flavor wasn't terrible, it lacked the depth I'm used to, and I found myself reaching for spices from the table just to get through the meal. The tom kha soup was okay -- decent, but I've had better. One highlight: the Thai iced tea was served in a fun, oversized mug/bowl combo, which was a nice touch. In the end, with so many outstanding Thai options within a mile of me, I don't see myself coming back. It's a competitive scene, and this place just didn't deliver where it counts -- the food.

Whenever I get regular spicy at a Thai place I normally expect to be hit with a kick of spice that hits the tongue. Except here everything was just so sweet it made me somewhat nauseous. Most of the soup dishes had similar based of noodles, protein and herbs. Unless you enjoy overly sweet dishes this wasn't for me as I'd prefer a spicy yet savory kick in my Thai dishes with a slight sweetness. It shouldn't be overpowering. Papaya salad reg spice was sweet. No kick whatsoever. Just papaya shaving, some iceberg lettuce at the bottom and some halved grape tomatoes. Khao soi noodle soup a sweet curry broth. A bit too sweet. Also got it with a tempura chicken but it was mostly fried wonton skin and barely any chicken. Chicken was also dry and hard. Tom yum noodle soup A creamy yet spicy "tom yum" broth. It has somewhat of a kick but for regular spice level it was still too sweet. Even with all the red pepper flakes. It was also missing the lemon grass scent in most tom yum soups I'm used to. Thai noodle soup The only non-spicy dish. Broth was a clear base that was somewhat better after all the sweet dishes. But a little bland. Thai green tea was good though. Just a bit sweet but need to be drank with ice.

They charged one dollar extra for shrimp, which I didn't love, but it was worth it. There were three pretty good size shrimp in that one little bowl. For everything pictured, I think I paid like 32 or $35. Honestly, not bad. The service was very attentive and the restaurant was clean.

    Went on Yelp looking for a Thai place for lunch with a lunch special. Here we are…read more All the lunch specials come with a cup of soup (tom yum with chicken), a salad or a veggie gyoza. We each had the soup, which was seasoned well and had mushrooms and tender chicken. A decent soup. Not the best I've had, but good, and impressive as an accompaniment with the $12.95 lunch special. Several people in the restaurant had salads in front of them - the salads all looked good and were a nice size, with lettuce and carrot. I got the green curry with veggies. I was impressed by the amount and variety of veggies - green and red pepper, mushrooms, carrots and broccoli. The green curry sauce was spicy, but not overpowering. The rice that came with it was steamed white rice (which I'm thinking was over steamed, because it seemed to have absorbed a lot of water and was really boring). Unfortunately, the curry sauce, which was good, couldn't overcome the boringness of the rice. So instead of mixing the curry sauce in with the rice and eating it, I left about half the rice. It might make sense to opt for the brown rice, although it costs extra and might have the same issue depending on how it's prepared. My partner got the Pad La Pow with pork. They said it was very good, but not spicy as advertised. (It's advertised as having two stars of spiciness - the most on the menu). I'll try the place again. The soup was decent with a good amount of chicken, and the green curry was good with lots of veggies. Although I'll probably try something different to avoid the bland rice. The place is very nice inside. The server was excellent. We were seated next to a group where one of the individuals spoke very loudly, and the server came over discretely and asked if we'd like to move, which we did. And his service for the rest of the meal was very attentive (i drink a lot of water, and I judge a lot of service by how many times my water glass gets refilled - great job today) and friendly. The price point for the lunch special - $12.95, is excellent.
