If you're looking for a great Thai spot, Bodhi is truly 10/10. I have been searching for a Thai restaurant that really hits the spot for years, and I can honestly say I finally found it. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it's a place people love. great energy, great food, and great staff who make you feel welcomed. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed, which is always a good sign. It was a bit loud, but nothing unbearable or uncomfortable ... you could still enjoy your meal and conversation. The atmosphere felt lively and fun. I ordered the Thai fried rice extra spicy and my goodness, it was incredible. The flavor was rich, perfectly seasoned, and the spice level was exactly what I wanted. You can tell the food is made with care and authenticity. I also ordered the pomegranate martini and it was absolutely amazing. It had the perfect balance of sweet without being overwhelming, especially if you're someone who doesn't love super strong drinks. It was refreshing and paired really well with the meal. Overall, Bodhi is definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. Great food, great staff, and a great overall experience. read more

Bodhi Federal Hill - chicken pad thai - Thai Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I ordered delivery and really enjoyed the three distinctly different items ordered. I can honestly say I've never had a fried wonton like the ones prepared from here. They were light yet filled to the brim with chicken filling. I felt like it was in house made and not a massed produced frozen item that had been flashed fried. I would order again. Next I ate the Thai coconut custard, it was very tasty. The best part (although I don't know if a mistake) they were served in three very cute ceramic dishes. Not only did I get a meal, I received new dishes to add to my house:) Lastly, I ordered the Larb. I requested no onions or scallion. It was very flavorful with basil and crunchy lettuce included. It was an unexpected protein full meal. I thought the serving was plentiful and could not finish the Larb. I would recommend trying if you're on the fence. If this experience was this yummy delivered, I'm sure the in house service is even better. Good luck scoring the ceramic dishes with your takeout/delivery service. read more

2 out of 5 stars Bodhi Federal Hill - Baltimore, MD We stopped by Bodhi Federal Hill for a vegetarian lunch, but unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing overall. First impressions weren't great -- the dining area looked dimly stylish, but the walls near our table had visible streaks and fluid stains that really took away from the atmosphere. For a restaurant with such pretty decor otherwise, this kind of upkeep issue stood out immediately. We clearly mentioned to our server that we were vegetarian and do not eat eggs, meat, or fish. Despite that, our papaya salad arrived with fish sauce. I only realized after taking a bite. When I brought it up, the server offered to replace it but didn't apologize or seem particularly concerned. It was off-putting, especially since the restaurant wasn't even busy (just a few tables occupied during lunch). The food itself was okay but didn't make up for the service lapse. The basil summer rolls looked fresh but lacked texture and flavor depth. The edamame was fine, and the tofu stir-fry had decent seasoning but nothing memorable. The only real highlight was the sake mojito -- refreshing, balanced, and nicely presented. Sadly, the overall experience left a bad taste in our mouths -- literally and figuratively. With better attention to cleanliness, customer communication, and authenticity of vegetarian options, Bodhi could be a lovely spot. As it stands, I'd hesitate to return. Oh additionally, the basil rolls we received also came with saran wrap plastic at the bottom that I took out from my mouth (oof). read more

Bodhi Federal Hill, tasty Thai. Taking an evening's break in busy lives, we enlisted Bodhi Federal Hill to make us tasty Thai take-out. We always get edamame when we find it, and Bodhi serves it salted, steamy-hot, and tender yet firm. In their pods, of course. You get around a pint, i suppose, plenty to share among four of us. We also got two 2-piece order of their huge six-inch-long two-inch-wide $9 Summer Basil Rolls, lettuce wrapped around avocado, cashews, shredded carrot, and cubed-cucumber. It came with a sweet minty basil cilantro sauce that really woke up the flavor. It also came with a slightly spicy thick flavorful peanut sauce, though i'm not sure if they always include that sauce because we meant to order it as an add-on. I would ask for extra sauces next time, because of their great flavors. We got three classic mains for the four of us, which was the right amount for us, though we probably would have finished a fourth, too. And we ordered each at the no-spice level, but you can choose the level you like, and some mains come quite spicy if you dont modify that. We liked the drunken soft wide rice-noodles, with red peppers, garlic, onion, and bright basil, and for $17 we added mushrooms instead of protein, which were flavorful cremini button-mushrooms and long slightly-crisp small-headed enoki or beech mushrooms. We also liked the Thai fried Jasmine rice, with scattered egg, carrots, broccoli, peas, corn, scallions, onion, and cucumber, flavored with lime. We chose $17 chicken for the protein. The narrow strips of tender juicy chicken-breast were good, but not highly flavored. My favorite was the Pad Thai for $19 with several good sized shrimp, thin rice noodle, tofu, crisp bean sprouts, some light egg and scallions, and crumbled peanuts. Here, again, I would add extra peanut sauce because i like it so much. The price was quite reasonable, around $85. Each dish and appetizer was delicious and well-made. Those basil lettuce rolls are enormous and amazing, especially using the sauces. We ordered on-line on a Friday evening and our food was ready on-time in about 20min. Everything was perfect! read more

Bodhi is easily a 10/10. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines, and this restaurant executes every dish beautifully. I've never had a bad meal here--each visit I try something new and it never disappoints. I even tried frog legs for the first time (very skeptical at first) and they were incredible. My first Kra Prow was here and it's now a favorite. The Pad Ginger with duck is truly phenomenal. Warm, pleasant staff and a small, intimate setting that's perfect for date night. Highly recommended--especially if you're open to trying something new. read more

My boyfriend and I visited Bodhi around 10pm on Saturday for their late night menu. It was quiet and honestly a vibe in the dimly lit restaurant. We were immediately greeted and our waitress was very kind. We ordered some appetizers and drinks. The spring rolls were delicious but the chicken pops stole the show for me. My boyfriend tried the Thai iced tea cocktail and I ordered the lychee sake martini twice!! Our entrees were delicious--basil fried rice and the Mama bowl (which is like a Thai ramen). And for it to be a late night menu, I didn't feel limited at all! It was great portions. I will definitely return and would love to sit in their back patio. We were told goodbye with sweet little candies on our way out. read more

My sister in-law is from Thailand and she is a great cook, this might be the best Thai restaurant I have ever been too. Spring rolls were made fresh that day and were full of crunch and flavor. My wife got the chicken Pad veggies, simple but cooked to perfection. I had the duck curry, it is most likely the best curry I have had as well. The atmosphere was great, smaller but intimate, service was also great. If I'm back in Baltimore it's a must revisit. read more

Bodhi Federal Hill - Duck curry and chicken pad veggies - Thai Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Figured I would leave my yearly review update as our last couple visits have been a bit... suboptimal. With all the competition in the area, we don't find ourselves coming here quite as much. Their drunken noodles are not as flavorful as the competition and often come out gummy. That said, the Tom Yum fried rice is still killer, and if we stick to our favorites they will give any competition a run for their money. The real reason for the loss of a star is the patchy service. We gave up eating there in person years ago and now focus on carryout. Typically we show up at the time our online order tells us to, but more often than not, the food isn't ready. Not the end of the world, we usually just go for a walk around the block and by the time we are done with that, it's ready. What drives me crazy though is that on a recent visit, while we were walking, we get a text that our order is ready, we come back and it STILL isn't done, we have to keep waiting. TLDR; sometimes the food can be slow to come out and the information about when the food will be ready isn't always accurate. read more

Visited this restaurant after my brother's white coat ceremony from dental school. The food was good overall, such as the panang curry, pad thai, drunken noodle, and duck. The papaya salad was just okay, as it was drenched and could have used less sauce/liquid. It was nice that they were able to accommodate for gluten free. The server seemed tired but friendly enough as she took our order. The restaurant had both an indoor and outdoor courtyard area with a nice atmosphere. read more

I've been coming to Bodhi for years and always have an excellent meal. The space is tiny so make sure you come early to secure a table! The outdoor patio is gorgeous as well. The lychee sake martini is DIVINE!!!! I also always get the Thai iced tea to go whenever I come for dinner as a pick me up for the next morning! The Kao Soi is excellent here, they give you so much of the crunchy noodles and the protein. The drunken noodles can get v spicy so be careful! Still my favorite drunken noodles in Baltimore! read more

Checked out Bodhi for dinner on a surprisingly pleasant (aka not sweltering hot) August night. They had outdoor patio dining which was done up prettily with string lights. We were a walk in and were seated promptly and they do allow pets in the outdoor area. (Big plus). The negative was..we didn't have our order taken till like almost 30 minutes after being seated. Which kinda sucked since we were hungry. There was a big dining party inside but still, 30 minutes is a long wait time for orders to not be taken. Once ordered though food came out quick and portion sizes were huge. We shared the basil mussel app(almost wish they served this with a side of rice cos what a waste of the tasty delicious sauce) which had nice large mussels. My bf enjoyed his tofu drunken noodle and I got the tom yum noodle soup with chicken which was also so huge I had to take most of it home. Would absolutely come back to Bodhi again. read more

Fabulous ambiance , amazing flavorful Thai Food. I'm pretty picky about my Thai Food and let me tell you Bodhi , bodied it. My Thai Fix was definitely filled here. From the time I walked in the door I knew I was going to have an amazing experience. The food took a while, about an hour to be exact , but once I tasted my dish it was all worth it. I give them 5 stars regardless of the wait and even my food not being cold when it came out lol they get a pass lol The ambiance was absolutely beautiful, made me feel like I was transported right to Thailand. Our host Samantha was so sweet and our server Noon was great, so nice , so patient , and accommodating. I love it here. Even the bathrooms were beautiful, clean , decorated. Lots of greenery, beautiful plants and hanging lights . So chic. They opened up the patio just for us despite it being closed. And the playlist on the patio was so jazzy and smooth. Super sexy lol I ordered the Panang Curry with shrimp, crispy pork Belly, added basil and extra lime ... rice noodles on the side . It was ridiculously delicious. My taste buds were buzzing. You get a chance to control your spice levels , I enjoyed all the spice and curry flavors. I cannot wait to come back here . What a Gem! read more

Listen I normally don't do 5 stars but THIS IS WORTH It. I am currently under the weather and only craving noodles even though it's 80 degrees in Baltimore and yall bondhi might be my new favorite spot for noodz Bondhi is located in federal hill not too far from cross street market and serve authentic Thai food. I normally get drunken noodles but decided to try the kao soi which is a curry based noodle soup. The curry mixed with coconut milk adds a nice sweetness and helps with the spice of the food. My food wasn't spicy but It did increase my body temperature. It was so addicting that I couldn't stop. I will be back! read more

I went here because our favorite Thai restaurant was closed due to the holidays. Bodhi restaurant was cute, with brick walls and nice ambiance. The staff seemed friendly. We ordered takeout so we didn't stay. They brought out the food in a timely manner. Unfortunately the food was very bland. Pad Thai noodles looked almost white, no seasoning, no peanuts. It was very watered down food. Maybe they had a bad night, but we wasted money, didn't eat half of the food and will not return. Perhaps they should amp up the spices and un Americanize their Pad Thai dishes because there was nothing Thai about its read more

Not very nice - too sticky, slightly rancid oil. Two people with not much food = $102 ouch. Not going there again

We ordered takeout so it may not be as good as if it were fresh! We ordered drunken noodles, pad kee mao, and basil fried rice (all medium spice). We also got a Thai tea. Everything was really good but the drunken noodles tasted like it was missing the entire flavor of the sauce. It just tasted like noodles and oil! So disappointing because everyone talked about how good it was. The other dishes were pretty good. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but I'm fairly happy with how everything tastes. And the Thai tea is super good so I'd definitely grab it if you like it on the sweeter and rich side. All in all I'd come back but will hold on the drunken noodles read more

AMAZING! Best Thai I've had in Baltimore so far!! Got the drunken noodles and teriyaki chicken and tbh this may have been the best teriyaki sauce I've ever had (and it's homemade!)!

Even after trying most of the Thai in northern Virginia and all over DC - Bodhi is probably the best Thai I've had in the DMV (if Baltimore is considered part of the DMV). The cripsty Bodhi "bags" were great appetizers, and their curry was flavorful but not overbearingly sweet or fatty. The cherry on top, was that their service was top notch. read more

Flaming hostess / server is extremely rude with a smart mouth. In a full restaurant and despite being the only server, he decided to disappear on his dinner break. Other than that he was twirling around the restaurant and not rchecking in on guests. Server also claimed that they don't adjust the spice level because Americans can't handle spice and told me I would have to use the crushed pepper he would bring to the table instead. Do not confuse this place with Bodhi Corner which is much larger and has better food and service. I will NEVER go back to this Federal Hill place. Such a shame how staff can ruin an experience and a restaurant's reputation. read more

There is only street parking for this location, may the odds be in your favor. It is a small restaurant with a bar and a back patio area which gives a chill vibe. We were seated quickly. The server was efficient but not friendly and didn't check on us often. We tried the crispy green sticks I enjoyed them but my husband felt they were too peppery. We tried the chive dumpling and neither one of us liked them. I loved my panang curry at medium spice - the flavor was excellent and the heat level was good. My husband really enjoyed his pad veggies with chicken. We were both happy with our meals. The patio area is cute for a date night. read more

I was visiting a friend in Baltimore, and we decided to get some Thai food. I'm originally from California and have eaten a lot of Thai food--and I can honestly say this was some of the best I've ever tasted. The drunken noodles were actually the best I've ever had--the noodles were soft, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The green curry was also amazing; I couldn't stop eating it. I especially loved the brown rice it came with--the texture was similar to white rice, not hard or chewy like brown rice sometimes is. We also tried the tom kha soup, which was just okay. I've definitely had better versions back in California. Overall, the food was super delicious, and if I ever come back to Baltimore, this is definitely a place I'd return to. I took away one star because, even though we came during lunch and the restaurant was nearly empty (only one other table), the service was veeeeerry slow and it was hard to flag down a waiter, which was disappointing. Also, the restaurant was quite dark--I wish it had been better lit. read more

My friends and I visited Bodhi on a Thursday evening, and it was relatively empty when we arrived. We made prior reservations since we were a group of 8. I ordered the Panang curry with beef with iced Thai tea. The beef portions were generous, and the curry and Thai tea were both delightfully flavorful. The rice portion was somewhat small for the amount of curry provided, but that's not a bad problem to have since the curry is delicious with or without rice. The ambiance was great for a nighttime dinner hangout with friends, and service was prompt and friendly. Definitely will come back when I stop by Baltimore again! read more

Both green curry and papaya salad were very flavorful. Highly recommend adding crispy pork to your curry. Also they serve purple rice.

I'm bummed because I used to like this restaurant and I frequented it, since it's close to my home, even if it had often been stingy on vegetables in their dishes. It had a good vibe and I could walk there. Some of the people who worked there were kind. Unfortunately, I had a miserable experience one evening and now I don't want to return. I ordered Pad Prik King and asked for extra vegetables. The waiter let me know it would cost three dollars extra. Not a problem. The dish arrived and it was loaded with tofu and green beans, along with two slices of red pepper. Unfortunately, the green beans were raw, as in raw. I like a bit of crunch, but these were inedible. I said something to the waiter when he finally came to pick up my half-eaten dish and he said he would "investigate" in the kitchen. He came back to tell me that that was the way they prepared them, that I could ask for them more well cooked but that was the way they prepare them. Also, FYI, the dish was super salty. I had to go up to the front to pay because the waiter wouldn't wait a half second to take my card even though I said I was ready. I'm sad. read more

Trying to search for a good thai food in the area and saw alot of good review in this spot. We were in town for a wedding and it was a hectic Saturday night. Raining hard and was super hungry.

Been here a couple of times, and both times had good experience with the restaurant. I like the ambiance of the decor, service was good too.

I ordered extra rice, and they gave me brown rice, which was really nice. Their Pad Thai was a bit too sweet for me, but their basil fried rice was really good. I'll come back. read more

Came here for the first time having heard good things from a friend about it. Ambiance: It's a cozy restaurant offer a peaceful atmosphere to relax in. Service: Very friendly staff, answers questions about menu well, and attentive to guests. Food: - Vegetarian kao soi with tofu: The kao soi had a creamy coconut milk-based yellow curry broth, crispy noodles, and a variety of vegetables. It was absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of flavors and spices. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the noodles are perfectly cooked to give just the right texture. The addition of fresh veggies like bean sprouts, red onions, and cilantro add a nice crunch and freshness to the dish. The dish is hearty and filling, making it a great option for lunch or dinner. It was just what I needed for a cold winter night! If you're a vegetarian in Baltimore, Bodhi Federal Hill is a great option! They have a pretty extensive menu, with a lot of the base dishes being vegan/vegetarian, so the protein choice mainly make the dishes vegetarian or not. Overall, I highly recommend Bodhi Federal Hill's vegetarian Kao Soi. If you're in the Baltimore area and looking for a delicious, vegetarian-friendly meal, be sure to stop by this great restaurant. I'm excited to get some more kaoi soi and try the other dishes! read more

Be aware of that they would revise the tip amount! We've dined in, food was decent. The waitress, however, more focused on her phone. We had to ask her to give us more water when the spiciness of food is more than what we expected. Instead of giving her 20% of tip - $15.32, I took a few cents off, wrote $15 on the receipt I signed. Weeks later, when I got the credit card statement, the total amount being charged didn't match what I have for my record. I realized that she charged exactly 20% she wanted. For this 32 cents that I didn't authorize, you can have it! You just lost me as your customer for your dishonesty! read more

Bodhi, the renowned Thai restaurant in Federal Hill, has gained popularity among the locals and received positive reviews from many. However, my experience was not match this high standard. Food: I had a mix of highs and lows, with some dishes exceeding my expectations while others fell short. The appetizers stood out the most and left a lasting impression on me. The veggie spring rolls were exceptional - three crispy and hot rolls, perfectly seasoned and filled with just the right amount of filling. The curry puff, another vegetarian option, had a spicy curry filling that burst with flavor and was steaming hot when I bit into it. Pour the sauce inside the puff to add a touch of sweetness to every bite. The chive dumplings, are my absolute favorite - four pieces of crunchy and chewy dumplings, with a rich, savory flavor that lingered on my tastebuds. When dipped into the sauce, the umami flavor brought out the best in the dumplings, making them even more delectable. However, for my main course, the chicken drunken noodles, did not meet my expectations. It was too greasy, and the chicken was overcooked. The meal ended on a high note with the mango sticky rice, which was the perfect way to conclude the culinary experience. Service: Upon arriving at the restaurant, I faced some issues with the service. Despite having a reservation, I was not greeted by any of the servers who walked past me. Eventually, I had to flag down a server to inquire about my reservation. Once I was escorted to the private room, my server was friendly and offered me water while I waited for my party to arrive. Our server was helpful in assisting us with what to order (it took 30 minutes to decide.) However, since the back room is isolated from the rest of the resturant, it was difficult to get the server's attention. This is something that the restaurant can improve upon. In the future, I would prefer to sit in the main dining area. Additionally, during my visit, I was accused of dining and dashing, which was quite embarrassing. A server ran after me and my friends as we were leaving, demanding I pay for my meal. After I explained I paid in cash and left it on the table she apologized and wished us a good evening. This killed my positive vibe. Ambiance: On a positive note: The ambiance is cozy, inviting, and the winter decor just adds a touch of warmth. It's the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a peaceful evening. Overall: I had a couple of bad experiences at this restaurant. The appetizers and desserts are good, but the drunken noodles are too oily. After eating here, I became sick the next day. Additionally, a server chased me down the street and accused me of not paying my bill. One bright spot: the dining areas are nice. I believe Bodih can improve its service and communication with customers. For this reason, I will not be returning to this establishment anytime soon. read more
