33 Best Thai Restaurants near Derwood

“My husband and I have been coming here for the last 9 years! This is our favorite place. The Sizzling black pepper beef and hot and sour soup is by far my favorite on the menu! The whole menu is delicious and the service is FANTASTIC, the atmosphere is homey and welcoming!!!! If I could give 10 stars I would!“

“I will definitely be back. I ordered the crab Rangoon's to start. My main was the massaman curry, it was delicious! I really enjoyed the potatos in it. The whole dish was great and had the mango sticky rice dessert, definitely recommend. The restaurant is small but nice, cute decor and they do offer some beers and wine.“

“Really great Thai food and friendly service and decent pricing. Simple yet fine interior. I tried and enjoyed - the curry fish cakes (crispy, well spiced, a little spicy), great wrapped in lettuce with the sweet dipping sauce - drunken noodles with pork which has perfectly chewy noodles with a lot of flavor, a ton of perfectly cooked and tasty veggies - pad see ewe with beef and gai lan (so glad it wasn't broccoli) I did find I had to drink a lot of water after likely due to a ton of sodium. If you want spice ask for the condiments and try the dry chili. It's delicious and packs a real punch. Our friends enjoyed the crispy fried tofu appetizer and pad Thai with tofu“

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

“Beautiful Atmosphere! The thai art is at authentic and it is shipped in from Thailand! The time art clock is a must see And there is a realtor Tuk Tuk inside the restaurant!Vegetarian options: Most dishes are vegan and must add a meat selection.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and keto friendlyKid-friendliness: Kids would love the art!Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible!“

“I like this place. The food is good, with vegan and gluten-free options!(I have had *better* Thai food. All of Finn Thai's curry has fish sauce in it and can not be made vegan=no 5 star rating.)(Now that I think of it.... when I say I have had better Thai food, maybe it's because I'm comparing it to curry dishes I have had elsewhere, when here I was unable to have curry. Maybe I just like curry better? Lol. I'm just trying to be completely honest!)The food always comes out super fast!! Like, always surprisingly fast!! On Valentine's Day, for example, we went before the dinner rush (there was only one other table seated in the restaurant when we arrived), and without buying alcohol we were in and out in under 45 minutes! (I mention not having alcohol because if we were also taking time to enjoy drinks, it probably would have taken longer)Takeaway: In my experience, great for a quick *real* meal. Early dinner times always seem like a great time to go/not busy.Will be back. This is the closest restaurant to where I currently live with vegan/gluten-free options.Vegetarian options: Definitely ask!! A lot of dishes don't necessarily have tofu listed as a protein option, but in my experience, they are happy to use tofu instead of meat.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free and vegan options! All of the curry has fish sauce in it, which sucks as that is my favorite Thai dish. I don't remember everything being labeled well on the menu, but definitely ask! The servers are always knowledgeable, in my experience, and can help guide you to something appropriate for you!I have not been "glutened" here!Parking: The parking lot directly in front of the restaurant is small, but every time I visited, there were plenty of spots. The restaurant is in the back of a large shopping/business area, so there is plenty of free parking around, but if it is busy, you may have to park a bit farther.Wheelchair accessibility: There are steps up to the restaurant. Like... more than just a few steps.“

“Food was really good. Atmosphere was casual, decor a bit weird. Prices were ok - not great. Service was not necessarily friendly, but attentive and fast. There was a good amount of parking, but a lot of traffic made the lot hard to navigate.“

“What a place. Humble and kind owner greets you and walks you to your table. One of 8 in this small, unassuming and fantastic establishment. Traditional Thai menu, we had 4 apps and 3 main dishes. Everything was outstanding. Washed down with $5 Sapporo. Wow. Highly recommend you give it a try.“

“I had dinner here last night. Our waitress overheard me and my friend discussing the safety of my E Bike parked outside. She came over and told me I can bring it inside the restaurant and park it near the door, so I could keep an eye on it. I was very impressed and grateful. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The place is small but the food is excellent. We eat here every time we are in town. We have tried multiple dishes. All of which have been excellent. It makes it hard to decide what to order because everything is fantastic. The staff is friendly and hard working. We have done take out and eat in the restaurant. The place fills up every night so get there early or do take out.“

“Just came here for lunch with a coworker and the place was completely empty. I think part of it was because we did come a little early (11:40am-ish), but left at 12:30pm and still no other people ate inside. There were people picking up orders or door-dash deliveries, etc. In any case, we sat down and the service was very fast and courteous. I ordered the Pad See Ewe and it arrived promptly (and super hot too!). The portions were decent and our water was filled once. It was super quiet, so not sure how the vibe is on a Friday or Saturday night. When we paid, the waitress (who I think may have been the owner?) arrived with a ipad where we simply tapped our credit cards and put in a tip. NGL, I like to tip in cash, so I preemptively took out my cash to show the waitress I was not going to forget tipping her, all the while I tapped "no tip" - even though I did tip her! Haha. Overall, a great lunch spot and I will definitely come back here. My only thing I would comment is that there are not a lot of parking spots in front of the restaurant.“

“First time we tried to come here it was a Friday evening and there was a 30+ min wait. However, there was plenty of seating around 530 on a Tuesday. Nice atmosphere and we found everything to be very worth the price.I am usually not a big fan of tofu, but their fried tofu in the Pad Thai was very tasty. The Khao Soi wasn't my favorite in the area, but it was still very good. Plus, I have found most places give 1 piece of chicken and this place gave double, at a comparable or lower price than the others, so I felt it was well worth it. The Papaya Salad was refreshing and the glaze on the Spicy Catfish was very delicious. Can recommend all those dishes.Service was more than adequate and the food came out quickly. The only minor negative was I found their rice to be a bit soggy/sticky. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that or they just used too much water this time. Overall, I would recommend coming here. Great food at a very reasonable price.“

“Wow - This is definitely a notch above the other Thai restaurants in the area. The layout of the menu is perfect for meat eaters and vegetarians. There are 2 fresh beers on draft. Also, the service is stellar - they remember their regulars and the place feels like an upscale family owned and operated restaurant. I would say the drunken noodles are amazing, but after trying several dishes, pretty much everything is great on the menu and the taste really varies between dishes. This place is a hit.“

“Our Server and the Sushi Chef were very nice and friendly. The menu is very extensive. It was hard to choose because of so many good dishes. I had the Rainbow Sushi and the Avocado salad. The salad had avocado and seaweed salad on a bed of lettuce. Two of my favorites. When I'm in Germantown and need lunch this is the restaraunt I always go to.“

“I ordered door dash from here because I was craving Thai food but I wanted to try a new spot ! They did not disappoint. I got the drunken noodles and it was sooooo good and flavorful. And for dessert I tried the taro roti. I fell in loveeee so crispy and the center taste amazing and not too sweet !! Definitely can’t wait to order again !!“

“This place has fantastic vegan options. My wife and I have had takeout several times and it is always delicious, usually prepared ahead of the estimated time too. I've also eaten at the restaurant once and it was great service with a super fast time between ordering and getting the food.Try the herbal tofu!“

“This is our local neighborhood Thai restaurant. It's a small restaurant with consistently delicious food! We come her once every few months, usually for lunch. We started with the spring rolls and yum beau yang (sliced steak salad). Both were great! Spring rolls were nice and crispy. The dressing on the steak salad is so good, tangy with a little spice) that I wish they would sell it in bottles! We shared the pad talay and pad sa ew with chicken. The pad sa ew and pad Thai are my go to there, and are both excellent!“

“Ordered on DoorDash and the food was really good. Usually Chinese food is dissapointing in the area but the fried dumplings were flavorful and crisp. The fried rice was good and the Szechuan beef is delish. Also the hot and sour soup was really good.“

“I can not describe how much this orange chicken saved my day! It had been a long day and since it was late there weren’t many options. However, I called Bite of Asia 10 minutes before they closed and they were still able to make me an amazing meal in 6 minutes. Truly amazing! Also the gentleman at the front was so kind and welcoming!!“

“Fantastic food. Like, subscribe, and smash that delivery button. So delicious. Order the drunken noods. You won't regret it. Now, this...**_Soliloquy of the Drunken Thai Noodles_***(The stage is dimly lit. A single spotlight illuminates a steaming bowl of noodles center stage.)***Noodle**: *(in a slurred, noodle-like voice)*Oh, woe is me! A tangled mess of rice and spice, swimming in the murky broth of my own existence. I, the humble Thai noodle, once firm and resolute, now sway like a drunken sailor on choppy seas.**Broth**: *(gurgling)*Noodle, why dost thou lament? Is it the fiery chili that burns thy delicate strands? Or perhaps the fragrant lemongrass that whispers secrets of distant lands?**Noodle**: *(swirling in the broth)*Nay, 'tis not the spices that trouble my starched soul. It is the fate that binds me to this ceramic vessel—a vessel that cradles the sorrows of countless hungry souls. I am but a fleeting pleasure, a fleeting slurp, lost in the labyrinth of taste buds.**Bean Sprouts**: *(poking their heads above the surface)*Hark! The noodle speaks truth. We, too, are but ephemeral beings, born from the soil, sprouting forth to dance upon this savory stage. Our crunch, our freshness—it matters not. We, too, shall drown in the broth of oblivion.**Basil Leaves**: *(rustling)*Yet, dear noodle, dost thou not see? Our destiny lies not in the depths of this bowl, but in the hearts of those who consume us. For with each chopstick wielded, with each slurp, we become memories—fragments of flavor etched into their souls.**Noodle**: *(twirling)*Ah, sweet basil, your wisdom transcends the steam rising from this cauldron. But tell me, when the last chopstick descends, when the final drop of broth is drained, what then? Shall we be forgotten, lost in the haze of drunken revelry?**Broth**: *(bubbling)*Fear not, my noodle friend. For even as the bowl empties, our essence lingers—a hint of lemongrass on parted lips, a memory of warmth on a cold winter's night. We are sustenance and sentiment, nourishing both body and soul.**Noodle**: *(swaying)*Then let us embrace our fate, fellow ingredients! Let us revel in the slurps, the stumbles, the laughter that accompanies our descent. For we are more than mere sustenance; we are poetry in a porcelain bowl, a symphony of flavors that echoes through time.*(The spotlight fades, leaving only the aroma of Thai spices lingering in the air.)*“

“As a newcomer to the area from New Jersey, stumbling upon this Thai restaurant was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped in, I was transported back to the flavors and aromas of home. The authenticity of the dishes served here is remarkable, reminiscent of the vibrant Thai cuisine I've grown to love. Each bite was a culinary journey, bursting with rich spices and fresh ingredients. The ambiance of the restaurant further enhanced the dining experience, with its warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this gem of a restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. Thank you for always knowing which wine I like:)“

“We love Thai Tanium -- they are our favorite Thai restaurant in the Gaithersburg / Germantown / Rockville area. We've been ordering their delicious dishes since they opened nearly 20 years ago! The menu has great variety with reasonable prices. The interior decorations are lovely, it always feels peaceful to eat inside. The staff are always friendly and helpful.“

“This is one of my new favorite Thai places in Silver Spring. I have a sensitive gut and onion and garlic can be a problem for me. So it was great to see that this restaurant has options to make many of their dishes in the jae style (which avoids these vegetables). Not to mention that their Panang curry was out of this world! So glad to find a place that I can eat at without worry that is also delicious. I want to go back a few more times before I commit to giving this place five stars, but I might be able to get there!“

“I low key love this place!! I frequent a location closer to my home and love it. I was so happy to see this business at the food court within Wheaton Mall. So good!! I bought the Pick 2 w Spicy Chicken and Bangkok Shimp w SingaporeNoodles. It was so tasty, fresh and fulfilling. Hubby scooped the Pick 2 w Spicy Chicken and Grilled Chicken w Rice. We enjoyed the speedy and pleasant service received as well as the super reasonable price and fresh quality food. I am definitely looking forward to visiting again in the near future.“

“My go to Thai restaurant. Have tried majority of the dishes on the menu. Family own restaurant and attentive staff. My favorite dishes include crab fried rice add on pineapples, pad prik fish, and red/green curry variations with different protein.“

“Don't judge a book by its cover! This tiny step-above a take out joint has amazingly tasty food! The Pad See Ew and Lad Na (both beef) were amazing!! As great as I've ever had both!!! The balance of flavors was signature, perfectly cooked noodles, veggies and the beef!! Truly worthy of 5-stars!! As a Fresh Garden Roll and Satay purist, I miss a good thick peanut sauce. But the rolls were otherwise big and tasty! The Thai Spring rolls were great too!! Come hungry and enjoy!!“

“My friend and I enjoyed the chicken Satay and fried calamari Appetizers. It was a good place for a very late lunch that day. The beverages were good. We plan to go back for dinner soon.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is ADA compliant since there is an elevator nearby.“

“Great Thai food. The phuket surprise was delicious as was the mango salad, and the mango sticky rice was great. The chicken green curry was good (I've had better). Atmosphere is very nice - but very crowded and can get loud. Definitely worth going “

“Great food .. we tried the restaurant for the first time .. got a take out. ..loved the food ,the green curry was amazing loved the flavors( would have preferred it to be little thick) the Massaman curry was on point .. .. one of the best Thai food I have tried in the area ( there are a few around ) loved the plentiful vegetarian option on the menu“

“I was craving American Chinese food (specifically crab rangoons) and Mr. K's Oriental Cafe, next to the Dutch Market, delivered (not literally...although they do deliver). Called in a takeout order and had a nice friendly chat with the person (I assume Mr. K) when I went to pickup. There's indoor seating but it was in the down time between lunch and dinner so there wasn't anyone seated there. Lovely pictures on the door of school activities that Mr. K's has helped out with. Their menu is online and they have Chinese, Thai, Korean, and pho. Crab Wontons: 6 to an order. Mostly cream cheese and very little crab. The sweet and sour sauce was a bit watery and packaged in its own little bag to make sure it didn't spill out of the little cup. I do appreciate how it was crispy and not greasy. Honey Walnut Shrimp: large/jumbo shrimp with good flavor and a nice bite despite being in the white sauce. Pineapple and black sesame toppings with a sliced orange arranged in the takeout container. The walnuts had a delicate sweetness to it which I assume was the honey. The chef specialties also come with rice. This dish left me wanting more of it (in a good way). Singapore Rice Noodles: chicken, shrimp, beef, and some vegetables with curry rice noodles. This one had some kind of pepper to help give it a bit of a kick which left a good flavor without burning my mouth. Wish I had know about this place sooner and am excited to come back and try other dishes.“

“Service was excellent. A little overcrowded but it felt comfy being with my niche. Food was a delight and great to explore (I shared with my family member). Waiters and waitresses were a little distant in interaction like an air of laissez-faire but it was to give you room to be with your fellow mates. Personally, I have to say I am biased because Thai food is one of my favorites. I recommend getting the Pad Thai and Thai iced tea.“

“Eatthai has delicious Thai food for dining in or carry out, especially their curries! The manager and employees are very pleasant and helpful. I accidentally ordered my food through Doordash and was charged more for it. The manager showed me how to avoid that in the future, and he went out of his way to make sure my order was what I wanted!“

“Takeout review!!! This was delicious! I can't believe I waited so long to try it.. very large portion of spicy fried rice, great flavor, perfect chicken, they added extra broccoli for me with no added charge. The spring rolls were delicious too!! I also highly recommend the Thai tea, it was tasty, ice cold, and also very good portion size. All in all great first experience and definitely will be back :)“
