We ordered takeout on a week night, and it was easily the worst Thai food any of us had ever had. We ordered pad thai, drunken noodles, green curry with chicken, shrimp ka prow, papaya salad, and lemon grass soup. Every dish was either tasteless or (in the case of lemon grass soup) nasty tasting. We had previously ordered takeout meals from here, and they were unremarkable. But this was really bad. Never again! read more

DONT EAT HERE! There was a bug in my food! Freaking disgusting!! I ordered curry on 1/26/2021 and when the order came via Uber Eats, right after the first bite my friend said, "STOP EATING IMMEDIATELY", and he picked out a bug in my food!!! Please refer to the picture for proof!! read more

I'm pleasantly surprised, for some reason I had my doubts about this place. But, today I finally mastered the courage and boy am I having. I ordered a shrimp pad Thai extra spicy with no peanuts. My lunch did not stand a chance. I will definitely recommend and I will be coming back for more !! The place is clean and the service is great. read more

Very nice hole in the wall Thai restaurant. We had Tom Yum and Basil Leaves and they were both great. Little sweet but otherwise very nice. Friendly staff and hustle and bustle of a small restaurant. We will be back next time here. read more

If you plan to order food from here expect very long delays on the arrival of your food, especially during the work week lunch break. These people are very disorganized, pushing delivery ordes back when dine-in customers come in. I am an "Uber Eats" delivery driver, and I had 2 orders to pick up here which caused me to wait about 30 mins. I was not the only delivery person made to wait for their orders. read more

I judge Thai places on my 2 favorite dishes Panang Curry and Drunken noodles. Today I tried the panang, and although it was a tad thinner the I personally prefer the dish as a whole was on point for me. The flavor was amazing and the chicken was good quality. This might be a bit too spicy for those that don't like spicy food, but i thought the spice level was perfect, probably a 6 on a 1-10 scale. The other 2 thai places in Bethesda lack in the panang curry department, so I'm thrilled right now read more

I ordered one dish for pick up on a Sunday evening around 6pm. The woman who took my order said 20-25 minutes. We arrived around 6:25. She said 5 more minutes. At around 6:45, I asked for another update. She did not know when the food would be ready. I asked for a refund and left. read more

Reasonably priced and tastes decent. Fast service if you pick up. No parking so be prepared to meter park. There is also a place to sit if you want to eat in but seat yourself. I like the pad kee Mao more than the pad Thai read more

Sorry, but the "fast casual" idea is now getting over on consumers. While it once meant reasonably priced and decent grub, it now means: 1. We don't have to pay for servers/staff. 2. We don't have to invest in decor, ambience or square footage. 3. We can provide less amounts of food per order. 4. We can provide subpar food AND 4. We now charge almost the same as full service restaurants!!! Entrees started over $10 and the food was lackluster. But I could have had a decent meal at a full service Thai restaurant for almost the same. I will say the amount of food per entree was decent. Pass on this spot. read more

Wasn't impressed. Seemed like standard takeout quality food with a "fast casual" facade to justify slightly higher prices. My pad see eew was freshly made but pretty oily. Also took maybe 20 minutes for the food to be ready, though the staff was apologetic and gave me a can of coke to compensate. Better options for your lunch dollar in Bethesda. read more

Very clean and bright. Good veggie spring rolls. I've never seen them this long and skinny. read more

Went here for dinner on Friday. It wasn't very busy at all and our 1 order of beef pad see-ew took 28 minutes to make There were by far more people waiting for their food than eating. We all in the store were looking at each other with pity The Thai iced was below average and overly sweet The door in the entry is a total hazard that someone will get hurt with soon as it does not fully extend, dangerously recoiling. No apple or Samsung pay available read more

I don't make reviews on here very often. A business really has to WOW me in order for me to take the time to do it. This place did just that. I ordered on a whim when a sudden craving for Thai food came over me. I had never heard of this place even though it was roughly 5 minutes from where I work. The first thing that attracted me was the prices. For ordering on a Friday night, they were definitely more reasonable than some of the other restaurants in town. I ordered the chicken pad Thai which was only $10.99! And the Tom Ka soup that was $4.99. Both portions were easily enough for two people, or in my case some tonight and some tomorrow. I asked for medium spice and it packed a punch in a good way. I have found a lot of places in the DC area don't know how to do the Thai spice properly. It's either too much or not enough. This place nailed it! I 100% will be back soon! The only challenge, is parking. It's right on Wisconsin Avenue and I happened to luck out because somebody was pulling out of a spot. But that definitely would not stop me from going there again. I seriously am wondering how in all the years I've bee here I never knew about this place. read more

This place just opened up recently and they are getting better at their game! There is enough seating in here. You serve yourself water. We've gotten take out in the past and it was ready when we got here. I think they have the set up right, they just need to move the pick up to go sign over to the counter where take out is lined up and hurry up with check out. We've had their Thai dumpling appetizer which is really good. The pad Thai here is amazing and their tom yum noodles is spiced just right. It's true that it is a local family own place and they do a great job in trying to keep up. Just fyi, the Curry is very well seasoned but you might want to get it to go and just add more rice at home. You also might need to wait for your food but It is so tasty that it is worth it!! Another thing is that they might want to place a container out for dirty dishes. When it's rush hour at this place, the dirty dishes will linger for a while before someone comes over to take them away. Overall, the price of the food is pretty good for bethesda. Definely one of the nicer cheaper options around here! read more

Not really what I expected. I've never been to a Thai restaurant where you walk up and order your food and sit down. Kind of like a chipotle type vibe if you ask me. The food was not authentic, very watery, lacking in flavor and I ended up having food poisoning when I left this establishment. If you need a quick bite, it's probably the place for you because they are fast, friendly and you will get a nice amount of food for you money. read more

I was excited to see a new Thai restaurant had opened. That excitement quickly changed to utter disappointment after my first visit. On my lunch break, I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, for take out, at 12:36pm. At 1:00pm I inquired about my order again to see if I had somehow missed it? No, I was reassured that my order is still being made. I finally received my order at 1:09pm, over 30 minutes to dish up a bowl of Pad Thai! I asked to speak with the manager, as this is completely unacceptable for a supposed fast casual lunch take out. The manager refused to talk to me, apparently too busy for even basic customer service. The food was average, certainly not worth being late from your lunch break when there are so many better places nearby. read more

The Thai Kitchen - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Chevy Chase, Maryland

Absolutely wonderful Thai resturant located right next To Moby Dick. It has great tasting Thai cuisine and a killer Thai iced tea. Their drunken noodles are delicious as well as their Appetizer fried tofu. It's a wonderful place for vegetarians to satisfy their cravings for Thai food. So if your in Bethesda or close by, do order from Thai kitchen! :D read more

I love getting Thai Kitchen delivered! The food is always hot and delicious when it arrives. I've only had the chicken Thai fried rice but it's so great why try anything else. read more

Don't order if you work at NIH. I ordered food and the driver wouldn't come on campus. A separate order from my coworker that I wanted to combine, which they didn't read the notes and do, so it went separately. When he couldn't bring it on campus , I called and asked if out of the kindness of their hearts would they add a pad thai since we ordered $150 worth of food and I was about to be the only one without food now. She said she would check. The order came and no pad thai, we had to walk off campus to get it. I get the argument of a third party driver system however as an act of good faith they could have given an extra meal. I will, needless to say never eat there and make sure people know how when a snafu arises and an order for $150 isn't enough to have compassion. read more

Delicious food. Huge portions. Quick service! We were really happy with our decision to stop for lunch here. read more

Hands down the best Thai food I have found in Bethesda. Good pricing, quick prep, and amazing food. Great for takeout! If you order on their website, rather than through Grubhub or Uber eats, it allows you to adjust for how spicy you like certain items! read more

Yes. The food is DECENT. THE STAFF HOWEVER .. SO RUDE. I asked the lady in front if there was a way to make my chicken satay spicy. She cut me off mid sentence and said no. I then asked if there was a spicy dry seasoning they had pre COVID or a sauce , she said no. I mentioned to here there has to be something , because they have spicy options. Wasn't until another costumer came in, and asked for spicy sauce. She faithfully offered him spicy sauce and the dry spicy seasoning. I will NOT be back. read more

Food was delicious and authentic. Staff behind the counter is friendly. The issue was the dining table. It was sticky and not wiped.

Very simple joint with a limited menu of Thai food standards. I had chicken with green curry and it was delicious! I don't know why the reviews are negative from some people. If you want a novel inventive or fancy high-end restaurant to go to one. But if you want a takeout or sit down very simple joint with delicious straightforward food this is great. read more

asked for pad thai with no fish sauce and they obliged. the food seemed seasoned well and probably perfectly spicy for most people. definitely one of the better thai restaurants in the area. i will definitely be coming back to try something new in the future. read more

This is a non-pretentious takeout place with a much appreciated gourmet fast food interior. It's a solid to good Thai place that fills a niche in the area. Don't come here for a remarkable meal, come here for what it is at $10-12 entree. That's somewhere around the Cava, Chipotle, etc range. I recommend the drunken noodle or pad Thai. Good parking behind in the public lot. read more

We just ordered take out and all of the food we ordered was loaded with sugar. I feel as though there may have been a mishap in the kitchen. You all need to make sure that you're sugar and salt aren't mixed up. I've never experienced this before. Every entree tasted like dessert. read more

Casual Thai cuisine on Wisconsin in downtown Bethesda. Panang curry with tofu was solid. Friendly upbeat ambiance. Service was quick and pleasant. Large portion size which looks like an improvement over prior photos. On the pricey side for casual fast food. read more

Fantastic massamum curry! Perfectly spiced to my request. Food was ready on time, staff was helpful with ordering. I will order from them again when in town. read more

I was excited to see such an inexpensive Thai option. I had the sweet and sour chicken with pineapple, tomato, onions, and scallions, etc. It tasted sugary sweet, synthetic, and turned me off. Ugh. I thought, "This is *not* real Thai food!" My gosh. It was meant to be a treat to myself, but I ended up regretting it. :( read more

I LOVE this place! The reviews make the place seem off putting but I've never had any issues with my orders. I've ordered in person, through Grubhub, and Postmates and every time my order was delievered no problem. The drunken noodles are my favorite! read more

It was fine. The place looks cute. Firstly, the entrees came before the spring rolls and the soup. The spring rolls were poor. Thick rolls and little in the way of flavorful vegetables. It wouldn't surprise me if these were bought frozen and they only deep fried them in house. Little flavor, certainly nothing to be proud of. The soup was fine, verging on four stars. The entrees were ok. While they were piping hot, I was extremely confident that they were microwaved, so, nothing to be siked about. The green curry had no eggplant in it, so it really was a cheaply made dish. The flavor was par for the course as was the portion size. I would not return. read more

Really too bad that when Door Dash never delivered our dinner (although they texted that they did) that the restaurant didn't offer us anything more than 20% off our next meal. Not sure that's the way to keep hungry customers happy. I would have expected to be offered our next meal on the house, or in the very least pay their upfront costs. read more

I have to preface I really like the food here, but DO NOT Order here during COVID-19. They have no standard procedures in place. The person taking the order felt like it was too much to ask for the food to be placed in my trunk and said "maybe" if it wasn't too busy or she wasn't on the phone. After taking the order the woman hung up the phone. I had to call back to ask them to take my credit card over the phone. When I arrived I called the store and they brought the food to my car and placed it in the trunk. The man then opened my passenger door and told me I needed to sign and passed me a credit card receipt and pen WITH NO MASK. I quickly signed just to get the man out of my car. I'm furious and hope I don't not get sick from total lack of carelessness. We have been a month in with COVID-19 and they still don't have their act together read more

Great place for Thai in downtown Bethesda. The prices are very reasonable. The food is also very good. It's actually better than a lot of the sit down Thai restaurants in the area. read more

Not very good. We ordered Pad Thai and the noodles were clumped together and it was disgusting. They fried an entire egg in our dish and it was greasy. The food didn't seem prepared well and the vegetables seem like they came from a frozen bag. Really unfortunate meal today. We ordered carry out. read more

Pretty decent fast casual Thai place which the Bethesda strip was definitely lacking. Whereas the papaya salad was lacking having had the real deal before, the shrimp salad was interesting and tasty, something I wouldn't expect to see on a fast casual menu. The Thai curry puffs were a bit disappointing compared to others I've had before. Everyone seemed to be a big fan of the drunk noodles, though. I'm sure I'll be back at some point to try something else on their menu of rice and noodles bowls. read more

I've been going to this place for both carryout as well as eating in since it opened. The food has been good enough for me to keep going back regularly, however, today, I had a terrible experience with the lady behind the counter, I know she's not the owner because I know the lady who owns the place and I'd never seen this woman before today. Today I placed a pickup order, and usually, they put pick up orders on the counter with the receipt which has your name printed on it stapled to the bag, you'd then walk up to the counter and look for your name and pick up your order, the person behind the counter says hello and acknowledges the pick up with a friendly gesture and you're done. Not today, I arrived at the restaurant, there was one customer at the counter and a couple of to-go bags sitting on the counter. Without interrupting the customer who was already in conversation with the lady behind the counter, I casually turned one of the bags around to look for my name when in my shock the lady behind the counter almost slapped my hand and verbally accosted me for interrupting her while she's attending to another customer! I hadn't even opened my mouth at this point and even the poor customer was shocked at her aggressive and rude behavior towards me, she actually apologized to me which was very sweet! Needless to say, today they lost a long-time customer and I felt I should share my experience so perhaps they'll read this and learn that this is not the way you treat your customers, especially during a pandemic! read more

So tasty and so fast! I hope this business is successful. Had a great Rama with tofu and spring rolls. Delicious and served in less than 10 minutes. Yummy!!!!! read more

This is probably the best Thai food available in Bethesda! I eat here unapologetically, once a week. Outside of my recent trip to Thailand no place that is local has managed to capture the flavors so well, I hope you'll give this place a try and enjoy it as much as I do. read more
