We ordered on DoorDash and it was honestly one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. I’ve had bad food before, but this was on another level. I haven’t eaten fast food in years, and this somehow tasted worse than the worst McDonald’s meal I can remember.

The pad Thai was basically a box of overcooked, flavorless noodles. No peanut flavor, no sauce, no seasoning just sad, plain noodles thrown in a container. It was dry, bland, and completely inedible.

The crab Rangoon was even more disgusting. It tasted stale and weirdly fishy, like it had been sitting out all day. The texture was off and the filling was cheap imitation crab that made it even worse. It genuinely tasted like a stale, fishy puff stuffed with something that shouldn’t have been served to anyone.

There’s a saying that people only take the time to write reviews when the experience is bad, and that’s true. I’ve had bad meals before and told my boyfriend, “people need to know about this,” but I’ve never actually followed through with writing a review. This is the first time I’ve felt strongly enough to go out of my way to post one. That’s how bad it was. We don’t even care about the money — we care more about the fact that this took up space in our stomachs.

Food is terrific. Authentic flavors and the prices are very reasonable. We've tried too many dishes to list, everything tasted great!

Can only speak to our to-go order but dang the food was SPICY. Purposefully ordered “mild” so I can share with my toddler but I have a feeling there’s not much difference between the spice levels. And my family can handle pretty spicy food. The perfect balance to me is a kick of spice but just enough to taste the flavor and enjoy the meal. *if* we go back we will try no spice which sounds lame but I’d like to taste my food.

The best of its kind in Silver Spring. The Spring Rolls, Pad See Ew, and Pad Thai are top notch.

The food is delicious but the quality control for deliveries is starting to decline. Ordered drunken noodles 0 spicy, like usual, they are spicy. Ordered pad kaprow, like always, received fried rice. I will give them credit that there was no onions or basil as I ordered. Maybe my order got switched with another order.

Quiet family owned restaurant in downtown Silver Spring. Food is good, like a home cooked meal. Not loud so can hold a conversation unlike some places.

Unfortunately we found the pad thai, drunken noodles, and fresh spring rolls very mediocre. There are better Thai places within just a couple of blocks.

I’m not the biggest fan of Thai food but this place (kind of) changed my mind. The environment was great and so was the service. Recommend the soft shell crab pad thai.

Really great Thai food and service

Food was absolutely amazing and service was also wonderful. The curry was worth coming back for. The spring rolls need more shrimp
