It was fine. That's what I thought afterwards eating my delivery from here. The crab Rangoon tasted pretty good but we're $9 for only 5 one-bite pieces which is crazy. The Pad See Ew was fine but not exceptional, it was lacking flavor. The portion was decent for the price. Overall it wouldn't be my first choice to order from but if for some reason I found myself eating from there again I wouldn't be upset!

This is a disappointment for sure. I spent 15 dollars on a meal that was brought out to me in 5 minutes in a metal tin with day old chicken and over cooked udon noodles. I go to restaurants for an elevated culinary experience and I feel like places that do this underhanded not actually fresh food and don't even have the care to bring the elements in the dish to uniform temperature are really shady and annoying. I recognize that i spent a while in the food industry and i have higher standards that most but With so many decent Thai places in this area this would be one to avoid.

Didn't get a picture of the crab Rangoon but they were fantastic! Also ordered a spicy tuna roll. Loved my drunken noodles! Large portions for lunch! The red curry was surprisingly sweet. The cook was accommodating when extra spice was requested! Would recommend asking the waiter to add spice if you enjoy more heat.

Delivery was quick and food tasted great! Asked for extra spicy for the pad see ew and there was a kick. The wontons were small but it was crunchy and loved the inside! Overall, 4/5

I visited Thai select for the first time this week and loved it. What stands out to me - their happy hour and their mango sticky rice! Ok, also their Thai tea with boba! Their happy hour was fantastic, maybe one of the best in the area! Everything was great including service.

Ordered take out from here a couple nights ago. The place is small and the takeout order was ready fast. The best sushi rolls we had were the Alaskan roll and the spider roll. The spicy salmon roll and tuna avocado rolls were just ok. We also got deep fried vegetable gyoza which personally I prefer pan fried not deep fried. The other thing we got was drunken noodles, thai hot, and they were actually very spicy which was awesome. I think next time I may get medium hot instead just so my sinuses don't clear as much haha but then again they were so good. All in all, I'll be back in the future and wouldn't hesitate bringing others here for a meal.

This place was okay. Was having high hopes but the food was just kinda sour. Their sauce is sour.

Let's start out with the food quality...I would describe this place as on par with Asian food you would find in a mall food court. It's in no way authentically Thai. It's edible but not worth the cost and ultimately disappointing. What compels me to leave this place one star is its dishonest marketing and business practices. I have seen this place bill itself as SO many different names on Uber Eats, Postmates, and other delivery platforms. Here are just a few of the names it does business under beyond Thai Select: i-Thai, Vegan Mania, and Rice and Roll. Every one of these places is located at the same address and the menu is exactly the same, so they cannot even claim to host multiple businesses or kitchens. It is very dishonest marketing since I wanted to avoid Thai Select after trying them the first time but got duped into ordering again under one of these other names. The food that arrived was exactly the same as from Thai Select, which is what led me to look into the restaurant and notice their ever-changing names. Why keep re-branding if you stand by the quality of your restaurant? Maybe they're called "Thai Select" because they're constantly selecting new names to do business under. Bottom line: I would avoid this unethical business that sells very mediocre food under constantly-changing and deceiving restaurant names.

If this spring salad can sell, I would like to order one for the chef! None of the green piece can be eaten!

Words can not describe what Thai Select has done for me and my family over the past 3 years. They been with me through good times and bad times. Every time I come back to DC from a vacation, my first meal is Thai Select on UberEats. Every time I am sad, they lift me up! Thai Select's services never disappoint. Food is always hot. And - they have a great rewards program through UberEats. If loyalty was a brand, it's Thai Select. I found out about Thai Select when they did a hostile takeover of my original favorite Thai place (iThai on M Street, shout out to the OGs). I noticed that whenever I ordered from iThai, my UberEats driver came from northern VA...suspicious. Regardless, the drunken noodles still tasted fire and I'd always been a very happy customer. I finally decided to take a pilgrimage to Thai Select in September of 2021. It felt like meeting up with someone I had been e-dating for years - I was nervous! Was I being cat-fished?! When I got there, I saw the logos of 8+ different restaurants on the door. Was I being cheated on?! I walked in and the place was buzzing with delivery drivers picking up orders. Orders of pad thai, bubble tea, dumplings, and more! I sat and ate alone and just observed the amazingness that was happening. It was a revolving door of delivery orders. A well oiled machine! Sitting over my steaming drunken noodles (and ice cold Sapporo), I realized I was witnessing history - true innovation in the restaurant industry. 8+ amazing offerings in one house, fueled by third party delivery and rewards programs. This was a restaurant that not only survived pandemic related economic downturns, but actually thrived!! It was a beautiful experience. In short, Thai Select is my hero for many reasons - the drunken noodles, 2 for 1 egg rolls, and the amazing business they've built!
Great Thai food. The lunch meal is a great value. The service is always quick and the people are very kind

If there is an option for 0 star, I'd definitely choose it. The food in generall is nothing special. But the bill is ridiculous. First, they added the tip amount THEMSELVES to the total without asking the customers. At that time I was okay with it because it was within 15-18% range. However, few days later, the bank app informed that the amount actually charged was even higher than that. THEY DOUBLE-TIPPED THEMSELVES!! Afterall they got 30% for their so-so service. Now I understand why there were so many take-out orders during our dine-in service.

I ordered lunch from here because I saw an amazing BOGO deal! However, I was pretty disappointed when my food was delivered. I ordered shrimp drunk noodles dinner entree and the shrimp was small, noodles were thick and round, and it was sitting in a lot of sauce with chunks of tomatoes. Definitely not what I was expecting! I also ordered the fried Thai dimplings which were ok, just wish they were crispier. In terms of portion size, I'd said it's smaller than other places. With the BOGO deal, it makes the 2 portion closer to what you'd expect for 1 dinner entree. Would probably not order from here again since what I got wasn't what I wanted in terms of drunken noodles.

Just bad food. If you say you want spicy, you will get no spice. Kinda made me nauseous. Sorry.

Always tea time at Thai Select! This time I grabbed some food for my aunt and I on 10/14. I always stop in here for a Thai iced tea and no matter the time of day, it's ALWAYS poppin so naturally, I was gonna try it out. Appetizer wise, I grabbed the Kanom Jeeb (steamed for my preference) and my aunt had the Shrimp Shumai and Curry Puff. She said both of hers were really good. I'm a glutton for flavor so of course my dumpling had to be filled with everything (shrimp, pork & chicken). And I'm a s***** for sauce so it was everything I hoped it would be :) My entree was the Drunken Noodles with shrimp because well, spice is life. And my aunt had the Pad Woon Sen with chicken and shrimp. Both were great! With the drunken noodles, I could've done without the huge slices of tomato (took them out before my picture). All in all, I think this place will remain my go to for anything Thai related! And as busy as they are, my order was still ready within 15 minutes from me ordering in store. Will definitely be back.
