50 Best Thai Restaurants near Bethesda

“Great,have everything to eat,i like it.“

“This place was amazing!! My husband and I have been to the AMC movie theater a couple times at this mall and have seen this sushi place and have wanted to try it. It was better than expected. All 4 sushi rolls were great, Wagyu beef fried rice: AMAZING, and also had 2 different Sakes that were delicious. The inside of the restaurant is my dream decor and you can’t even tell you’re in a mall. Our waiter was so helpful and nice and the owner/manager of the restaurant came to talk to us and told us that not many people know they are there. Please visit this place so it can stay open and I can keep going back!“

“great food.Love everything in the menu.“

“I ordered delivery bc I was sick. The food was delicious but the owner accidentally gave me the small tom yum soup instead of the larger tom yum with noodles and shrimp so the next day he delivered it to me! I was so happy! It’s such great soup when you are sick and it hit the spot! Grateful for our lovely Bethesda community! Will be back! Oh and it was so big I ate it over three meals!“

“wonderful small family owned Thai restaurant in Washington DC. the food is excellent and the service is great.“

“came to this restaurant for the first time and I got the Thai iced tea, tom kha soup and Mango sticky rice it was Super good and they were able to make alterations upon my request. The restaurant is super cute and the waiters Danny and Vinny were super sweet and attentive. Will be back“

“Finally found decent Thai/Lao spot in DC! Red curry with pork belly, Papaya salad(can select Lao/Thai), and drunken noodle! Spicy information is right for American, not much spicy for me but it’s good.💋 open to revisit!“

“This place is MOST AWESOMENESS! A definite must come eat!“

“The gluten free options here are amazing! We’re coming from Baltimore and DC to eat here and it’s well worth the drive. Not to mention the very hospitable staff. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I was in the area doing some shopping and wanted to take a break for lunch. I searched for Thai food nearby, and this restaurant popped up, so I decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did because the food was delicious.

I ordered the Ka Praw with Chicken and it was really good. I also got a Thai tea, which was delicious and paired perfectly with my meal. The service was great as well. It was an extremely hot day, and they were very attentive about keeping my water glass filled, which I really appreciated.

Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. I love Thai food, and this spot did not disappoint.“

“Wow, really good Thai food. Reminds me of home. It’s very difficult to find good som tum because most places make it too sweet in order to meet local tastes in the States, so it’s always a good sign of quality when the som tum is good, and this one’s excellent. Nice balance citrusy,and lots of crunch and umami just the way it should be. Their other dishes are excellent too, the first place I’ve eaten from that reflects what authentic Thai food actually tastes like. Food quality is excellent and the service is excellent and friendly too. A must visit if looking for great Thai food.“

“I’m going to post the same review I gave on Yelp - this is a 5 Star place! After a day in DC, my family decided to try Soul Thai on our way home. What a terrific Experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was some of the best Thai we have ever had. The Pad Thai was amazing. The Hang Over Noodles (Drunken Noodles) was exceptional. And the red curry was by far the best I’ve had in the area. The ambiance was quite pleasant as well. Initially we were sat in an area that was a little noisy for our taste, but they graciously moved us to a much quieter section. The owner, Nancy came over after our meal and was very appreciative of our comments on the meal. She shared with us that she personally picks the freshest ingredients she can find to ensure the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Soul Thai to everyone. We will be coming back soon. THANK YOU, Nancy!!!!“

“WOW! I live in DC and have tried basically every Thai place in DC but rarely make it to VA. Thai is some of my favorite food. My main complaint with most DC places is that the food is NOT spicy enough. Not the case here! I got the drunken noodles tonight and hands down they were the spiciest best I've had in the area! Love this place! New favorite Thai spot in the DMV! I'll be back and VERY SOON! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAI FOOD SPICY AS IT SHOULD BE!“

“This. This place right here. Easily the absolute best Thai restaurant I’ve found here in the states.
The seasoning on everything I’ve ordered here has been absolutely flawless, as have the temperatures and quality of the food.

I truly cannot say enough good things about this place, you have to try it to understand 😂

PS. Try the happy Thai Lo mein. Thank me later.“

“Omg my shrimp pad Thai was SOOOO GOOD!!! The last time I had a Thai meal this good was in Thailand!! Eveything is so authentic! I also ordered the mango sticky rice to go ans haven’t tried it yet but I know it’s gonna be good.
The best thing about this place was the service 😍 Love it when a place has a welcoming team 💛
Thank you so much for the best meal 🙌🏾“

“We are visiting from Tennessee and wanted authentic Thai cuisine. We found it at Sampannee!!! The best Thai meal I have ever eaten. The cocktails were delicious and the food was perfection! Very friendly kitchen and the waitress was very friendly. I’ll be dreaming of Sampannee for many months! So, so good!!“

“I have eaten here thrice before. with my colleagues. I ordered the basil fried rice with vegetable and chicken. It was bursting with fresh flavors and wonderfully intense spiciness. Everything is so clean, and the staff is friendly and efficient! We were the last ones to leave and never felt rushed or like we were being a nuisance to the staff. I had a third, wonderful experience and i highly recommend it!“

“Wife and I ate there for the first time last night, it was incredible. The service, the food, the atmosphere, all top notch. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Incredible food, vibrant atmosphere, the smell of succulent grilled meats and curries and lemongrass just stimulate your senses, and the warm, caring hospitality of the servers make for a memorable dining experience! We can’t wait to go back on a regular basis!“

“I chose Akeno Sushi to celebrate my bachelorette weekend, and I couldn’t have made a better choice! It’s my absolute favorite restaurant in DC, and this experience just confirmed why it’s one of my top spots. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly warm, accommodating, and genuinely thrilled to help us celebrate. Nadia, in particular, was a joy to work with and supported me every step of the way in planning. The food was phenomenal, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The drinks were equally impressive, featuring thoughtful details like fresh flowers that added a special touch to the celebration. The ambiance was perfect, with lovely decorations that made the night feel even more festive. Whether you’re planning a special event, a casual dinner, or a date night, Akeno Sushi is versatile, delicious, and always delivers a memorable experience. I highly recommend it!“

“Everything so delicious here. Feel like I am in Thailand. อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ เหมือนอยู่เมืองไทย ขอบคุณพี่ไก่ ที่พามาทานค่ะ ❤️“

“Food is phenomenal! The northern style Thai food is authentic.“

“This is a solid place and a gem in Rockville & MoCo as they are the first restaurant to serve Laotian food. Their fried fish tofu is my go to app: it is delicately made and on point. Had their Lao khao soi for the first time and the freshness and quality of spare ribs and minced pork are top notch. Service can be slow as there is typically only one server working at lunch and I feel that they should have one more server as service can be slow at times. A huge bonus that they are on the AA dining program.“

“We were visiting from California and were meeting up with some friends that were also visiting and we wanted to meet up for a good dinner.
So we found this place on yelp and we were not disappointed, the hospitality was amazing. We were a party of 8 and they were so accommodating. The food was great and so was the atmosphere. I would definitely come back whenever I am back in DC.“

“Good food. Decent service and clean, colorful surroundings. I will go back. For sure.“

“Sweet Rice is a lovely restaurant. The creative Thai dishes are delicious. Servers are very professional and friendly. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. For the best of Thai cuisine you cannot do better than Sweet Rice in Falls Church.“

“Absolutely loved the ambiance and the food. what a gem! thanks Miss Wow for welcoming us. we will be back.“

“I’ve ordered from My Home Thai before and have eaten at the Falls Church restaurant. It’s a beautiful place, and the food is honestly some of the best Thai food I’ve had.

Today my Uber Eats order got mixed up with someone else’s. Before I even had to reach out, the restaurant called me to explain what happened. They told me to keep the food I received and that my order was already on its way.

That meant a lot to me. They could have waited for me to complain, but they took care of it on their own and made sure I got what I ordered. The food already kept me coming back. The way they treated me today made me a loyal customer. Thank you, My Home Thai.“

“We were so excited to hear Dok Khao opened a Chevy Chase location! We used to drive to the Columbia restaurant, so having one closer to home is amazing.

The ambiance is beautiful, the drinks were excellent, and the menu is so creative. The tilapia dish is absolutely to die for and one of the best Thai meals we've had in a long time. Everything was flavorful, and the service was stellar.

We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“Super good experience! Friendly staff, great food, good portions! Highly recommend the crab rangoons- the most stuffed rangoons I’ve have in a while! The wonton they use is so thin as well, really accentuating the filling and making for a light and crispy bite! The pineapple fried rice is delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness. I got the veggie version- large portion and lots of veggies throughout! Will definitely be back!“

“Wonderful food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit today and will visit again.“

“Moo Toon noodle soup was so rich. Savory broth with melt-in-mouth pork. Noodles had perfect texture and bounce. Truly comforting and flavorful!“

“I had an amazing experience with this Thai Rock Rockville. The customer service was outstanding, and the food was exactly what I was looking for. I really recommend this restaurant.“

“Yesterday was my first visit to Elephant Jumps. I was impressed by the many menu items I’d never heard of before, especially the ones that said there was no option to substitute ingredients, even the meat. That tells me they want their customers to experience those dishes in their traditional form. Everything I ordered was delicious and I can’t wait to go back!“

“High quality Thai food inside a cozy relaxing environment. The Tom Yum soup is delicious and full of flavor, highly recommend. Staff is extremely friendly and checks on you regularly. The Pad Thai is sweet, hot and a cant miss option as usual.“

“The best Thai restaurant in the East Coast. Worth every second of my visit to DC. I’ll be back next year with my wife. And order the same thing: shrimp rice with pineapple and cashews (Khao Pad Sapparod). And for dessert: ginger ice cream. Service was awesome as well.“

“Very good Thai food! The waiters were very patient and considerate. Dining was very smooth experience. The food was well prepared especially the soups and fried rice. I highly recommend anyone around DC area to give this restaurant a worthy try.“

“This restaurant is a true hidden culinary gem in Rockville. The food is authentic Thai and very delicious! We especially love all the little touches of decor making you feel like you are in Bangkok.“

“Great place to dine with friends and family ❤️“

“5 star cozy very friendly food is the Bomb. eat here 1 a week.“

“Had an amazing experience at Kaphrao Express in Arlington. They have a wide selection of Thai street food, and every dish had its own unique, really enjoyable flavor. The presentation looks great too, the restaurant is comfy, and the staff were helpful and friendly throughout. Highly recommend.“
