Well I walked over here from my apartment and ordered about 6:50p and was told it would be about 15mins for my two soups to go and Thai Taste Herbal Bowl. It's 7:30 and they she just told us 5 more minutes. It takes that long for soup? If it's amazing I'll be back and I'll Understand if not, I'll never come here again. We've watched 3 people come in, order and leave with their food. I'm over it. read more

Ironically, we found this place while we were looking for parking for Nava Thai. We parked right in front of the grocery store and then noticed that there was a sign for Thai Taste by Kob on same sign as the grocery store. Initially, we thought it was inside the grocery store and food was whatever they had on their steamer tables, but then we realized that the actual restaurant was around the back. Its a small, no frills place with a pretty extensive menu. We got the Nam Tok Moo and the Pad Thai with Soft Shell Crab. Both were excellent. The Nam Tok Moo was super flavorful. It wasn't spicy at all, but we added some chili powder in and it kicked up a notch. The soft shell crab on the pad thai was very large and perfectly crispy. The pad thai itself was also wonderful. Not sweet, or saucy with just the right amount of toppings. We also got the Thai Iced Tea, which was one of the best I've had. Strong tea flavor and a little on the sweeter side, just the way I like it. read more

Friendly service and food was good. I like how they had a variety of different veggies in each dish. However the quantity was small for the higher than your average Thai place price. Also the food was (as expected) on the greasier side. read more

I found week 4 of Yelp's Hidden Gems at Thai Taste by Kob. I made my way here after work in the rain around 8:30pm. It was pretty empty, which I liked. I sat down and waited for my party to come. The restaurant is a little hard to find if you don't know it's right next to Hung Phat the Vietnamese grocery mart. They share a parking lot, so it's not hard to find parking. I was overwhelmed with the menu choices. Page after page of food choices. I had no idea what to order. Luckily I used my yelp app to checkin and got a free longan iced tea as my hidden gems prize! Instead of bread, they gave out shrimp chips, which were tasty. We decided to order a papaya salad with crab, Tom yum soup, appetizer sampler A, and a drunken type noodle dish. The crab papaya was super salty! Good flavor, but the crab was super salty. The Tom yum soup was tasty! Tangy goodness! Appetizer sample A came with a bunch of goodies! Everything came in 4s. I had eggrolls, coconut shrimp, fish cake, different kinds of skewers. It also came with 6 dipping sauces. It was nice to try everything. The drunken like noodle dish was tasty too! I would def order this again, if only I could remember what's it's called haha. Thai Taste by Kob was great to try and I'm glad it was part of Yelp's Hidden Gems. I probably never would have found it otherwise! Thanks Mike B.! read more

Thai Taste is tucked away behind an Asian grocery store. It may be hard to find, but it is worth the effort. Mike and I started off with the 5 spice beef broth and thin noodles. The broth was rich and hearty. The spices of anise,nutmeg, and other flavors made it memorable. There were thinly cut vegetables and pieces of chicken. It was delectable. We had pumpkin empanadas that were creamy, smooth, and delicious. They were spiced delicately and yummy. Lastly, we had the eggplant and tofu. It was served in a perfect brown sauce. We ate a lot and had plenty to take home. The service was great. I got a chance to drink another Longan ice tea that was sweet and refreshing. I really loved our meal and was surprised by how reasonable our meal was. So, head over to Thai Taste it is a real gem. read more

My boyfriend, mom, gma and me came for lunch after seeing the reviews. We ordered papaya to start (6$). I ordered green curry chicken. Bf ordered nam tok moo - what others call floating market soup. My gma for kuy jaup - pork noodle soup. Mother asked for recommendations in Thai and then ordered the shrimp paste rice dish. Papaya was on the small size. Def felt smaller cause the four of use shared and we were hungry. Curry was okay. It was sweet and really coconut-y. I think it could have used some more curry seasoning. Portion was small.. Assume we ordered lunch portions. Nam tok moo was okay too. It had a very murky broth, more than any other Thai place we went too. Lacked any spiciness though. There wasn't very much broth in the dish which was a downer. Bf said it was okay.. I actually liked it because it had flavor and not much spice- he added spices from the spice tray. Kuy jaup was not very good. The noodles were over cooked and became mealy. It was the "fat" noodles so rather than still having ribbons it became tiny broken pieces of noodle. The broth wasn't very pungent.. But Ive never actually had really good kuy jaup anywhere. Gma said it was just okay. She didn't like the overcooked noodles so her and my mom ended up switching. We definitely should have asked for a new one. Lastly, the shrimp paste rice. I've never ever seen of heard of it. They didn't add too much shrimp paste.. So it's not that strong tasting.. There still is a smell it's just not thaaaaat bad.. The chicken was really over cooked slivers of chicken drenched in a hoisin.. Teriyaki type sauce. There was scrambled egg, cucumber, onions, cilantro and maybe a couple other things on the side to make the dish fresher. Both my mom and gma said it was a tad bland. But they haven't had it since they were in Thailand thirty some years ago.. I assume this is Americanized for fear the shrimp paste is tooooooo pungent.. Which it is. Over all it was okay. No one said they'd go back. Service was nice and fast. read more

When Ming Tsai did a show on Thai cuisine, he emphasized the balance of salt, sweet, sour, and hot in traditional seasoning. I've had Thai food in a number of places, but now I understand what he was talking about. Tiny place, 10 tables tucked in behind Hung Phat grocery, with a small off street parking lot. Very simple decor. I had the lunch special: Chicken Clear Soup: broth that would have made Grandma, rest her soul , nod with approval. A couple of slices of chicken breast, a couple of pieces of carrot, Pristine. The rest was served in a bento box. Sorry, too hungry to get a photo before diving in. Vegetable spring roll: half size, nice and crisp, not a hint of oiliness. Salad with peanut dressing: nice mixture of greens and some crisp noodles, Dressing was better than any I've had on a satay.. Rice: standard Spicy pork crying tiger: Very tender, bits of shallot and other aromatics. Heat was as expected from the name, about 4 peppers on the ShopHouse scale, glad I had the rice to soak it up, but it didn't hide the complexity of flavors. Can of soda and a Longan fruit iced tea as a checkin bonus. $7.99 and just the right amount of food for lunch. Full mindfulness in all aspects. Easy 5 *****. There is an extensive menu, including a page of street food. I'm gonna be back many times. read more

I ordered chicken massaman curry, shrimp pad woon sen, and vegetable spring rolls. Everything was good, but that curry was DELICIOUS! My only criticism was that it didn't come with enough rice for the gravy, so I had to make some more of my own. I couldn't stop slurping that curry. I will definitely order again. read more

I came here due to the Yelp Hidden Gems game that was going on. I wanted in on all of the fun. I visited the restaurant on a Friday night and was able to find free parking. I had never been here before so I checked in and received the free sweet (Longan Iced) tea. I wasn't sure what to order so I went with the Tom Yum Soup and the Fried Soft Shell crab. The soup was amazing! It had large shrimp and was spiiiiicy! I mean I will go back for that soup when my allergies are bad. I cried from the spice half of the time I was at the table. ;-) Next was the soft shell crab that I had never tasted before. The vegetables that came with it were great, but the crab was so fried (covered in batter) that I wish it was prepared differently. It would be better pan fried with olive oil or something. I won't get that again. The menu is pretty big so I would be up to try other items here. I just wish that they had a large grilled shrimp platter. I will definitely try more of the soup & bring someone who goes there often to give me some food suggestions. read more

This review is strictly based on the mango and sticky rice carry out experience that I had. I called in an order for 4 orders of mango and sticky rice and asked that the mangos be placed in a separate box. 1. The lady on the phone said I can't.... Why? She said they don't have big boxes only small boxes...... Ummmm... Okay... I said okay that's fine I just need the mangos separate cause it wasn't going to all be eaten today and I didn't want the mangos to go bad from the heat of the sticky rice. 2. They lady says "We can put in to 2 separate big boxes for u.".... Hmmm didn't she just say no big boxes? So I asked if all the mangos can go into one large box and the sticky rice in small boxes.. She said no we can't do that... Why? She puts me on hold. Comes back and says okay that's fine. I come to pick up and I have 2 big boxes... Fine whatever. I get home and I have unripe mangos.. Hard as hell felt like carrots.. Now before u say "it's still early in mango season", I didn't have this problem at Bangkok garden. Are they the only ones with ripe mangos in the dmv? I doubt that. Anyway... The coconut "milk" was coconut paste.... Wth. It was like cottage cheese. The sticky rice was good.. Until I started to notice an alcohol like smell in it. At first I thought it was the "milk" I tried the "milk".. No it's def. the rice. I regret buying 4. And I'm still craving mango and sticky rice. I paid $21 for all 4 and it was not even close to what I wanted. read more

Thai Taste by Kob is our local Thai restaurant of choice. We live close to Wheaton so we are pretty lucky to be in the neighborhood of many great Thai restaurants- none quite hold a candle to Thai Taste. For the most part, everything we have tried here has been really great. The food is fresh and clearly made in house without a ton of additives and extra stuff. Ask for the sauce caddy- and definitely try out the spicy pepper sauce as well as the vinegar based sauce- I put that on literally everything. The pork skewers are a must try- they are phenomenal. The dipping sauce served with them is super spicy and in my opinion the perfect accompaniment. I am also partial to the spicy green bean dish- I have tried it with every meat they offer and its always great. I just love the crunch and freshness of the green beans- something you don't always get in Thai food. The curries are also amazing as is the Pad Thai- but don't come here and get Pad Thai. You can get that anywhere and this is the place to trust in the chef and try something different. Thai Taste also has great lunch and dinner specials that are ridiculously cheap for what you get. You have to choose from a smaller, set menu- usually of dishes they are trying out to maybe add to the menu (sweet...). We get these all the time when we are in a pinch for dinner! read more

I can't name one thing I didn't like, so here's a list of all the things I did like: - Free, convenient parking - Large menu with lots of variety: standard dishes, specials, on like 15 pages! - Friendly, quick service - Family-friendly (thank you for plastic kid cups!), nothing pretentious - Thai staff - Fair prices, good portion sizes - Delicious food. I mean delicious. I was stuffed but kept eating because it was just so good. - They can do food both entry-level mild as well as crank-the-heat-up spicy on their dishes - Even the little guava candies at the end were perfect - Visiting the grocery store next door w my little kids even saved us as we were waiting for our food - My Mom who is Thai is VERY PICKY about her Thai food and was overly pleased with the whole meal and experience. She'll be going back, we'll be going back... and I can't wait. (can you tell I'm hooked?!) read more

Found this restaurant through Yelp and decided to check it out. I wouldn't say it's in the best of locations, but only because it isn't facing the street and it was slightly difficult to find. Once my friend and I got our feet in the door, everything was amazing. The entire staff was friendly. We were greeted with smiles and immediately seated. The waitress also gave us enough time to look at the menu and make our decisions on what to eat. Thai taste has a good amount of dishes to choose from, with a good range of sweet and spicy. I went with the Lad Na, which is a dish that is usually only found in authentic Thai restaurants. I had never tried this dish prior to Thai taste, but I had been curious to try it out. I asked the waitress her opinion on the dish and asked if the dish was a sweet one (because I am not too fond of sweet). She assured me it was not and brought me out a spice dish to add flavor. When the food arrived, everything looked great. I tasted the Lad Na and at first I thought it was a little bland, so I began to try some of the spices. Then a male employee, I am not sure if he was the cook or Kob, but he came over to assist me on how to adjust the taste of the dish to my liking. I thought that was just amazing. He told me the initial combination of spices to add just for flavor and then from there he showed me what to do in order to adjust the flavor to my liking. After listening to his instructions, I added the spice, tasted it, and...Blown away! Delicious! I would definitely be back to try more of Thai Taste's dishes. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. read more

This place might just be my new favorite Thai restaurant!!! It's located behind a grocery store, so it's not very visible and easy to miss. I ordered the Num Tuk (not sure if it's on the menu), it's the same as the floating market noodle at Nava Thai. They give you the bean spouts and crispy pork on a separate plate, so they don't get soggy. The broth was very flavorful and rich. Also, they give you the condiment tray so you can determine your level of spiciness. My boyfriend ordered a beef pad see ew and he was very pleased as well. The server we had was very nice and attentive and he took the time to explain what type of noodles they had since I couldn't decide. The parking lot says it's only for grocery store customers, but we asked and they said we are able to park in the lot as well. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I'm a very big fan of this place. As a noob to Thai food, I was a little overwhelmed by the menu so I ordered a lot of things blind and just hoped for the best. So far I've been very lucky with my picks because I've eaten well each time I've been there. First I should mention that the location of this place is interesting. At first I thought it was inside of this Asian grocery store but it is a separate place. From the outside, it doesn't look like much but as they say, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover or in this case, a restaurant by its location. My favorite dish here is their fried catfish. The dinner portion is served with on a bed of fresh vegetables, rice and a sauce of your choosing. I've had it on many occasions and the fish is perfectly fried so it's golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Not soggy at all. As you can see by the picture I've added of the dish it's pretty straight forward. As a recommendation, I would wait for the dinner time because it's only a few bucks more but the catfish is much larger. The Angel Wings is another winner as it's another fried goody. It's a bit hard to describe so I'll just be cheap and cut and paste from the menu what it is "stuffed wings w/ minced chicken, cellophane noodles & Thai herbs breaded then fried till golden brown serve w/ sweet chili sauce". It's a winner and if there is one thing Thai Taste does amazingly well is fry things and they're consistent. I have a big appetite so I tend to order quite a bit of food and since I'm indecisive I simply go for the sampler platter with has a bit of everything. It features two gai yang, two moo yang, two gai satay, two crispy spring rolls, two coconut shrimp and two fish cakes severed with a bevy of sauces. One final stand out I've had which I really liked with the soft shell crab pad thai. It's an impressive amount of food. It's pad thai so it's not new or groundbreaking. It's just flat out delicious and very filling. I like this place quite a bit. The staff is very friendly and it's never really a noisy place. They take credit/debit and even if you just walk in simply buying an thai iced coffee they'll great you with a smile. It also helps that for all the good food they serve you won't be breaking the bank on a good meal. read more

Even though Thai Taste by Kob is sandwich between Ruan Thai and Nava Thai it is able to offer something new. This is my second time eating here and it is only a handful of Thai restaurants that I know of that serves angel wings but this time around we had the devil wings and be forewarned they are SPICY. Also we ordered green curry, pad thai, and crispy orange duck. I would say out of all the entrees we ordered I liked the crispy duck the best. The food is very authentic and everything is pretty much spot on. The environment ranges from bright to very dim depending on who is working.

The food here is SO GOOD. I've been a couple times and both have been solid experiences. Thai Taste is tucked in a corner right next to Hung Phat market. They share the same parking lot. The staff is friendly and attentive. Service is FAST. The first time I ordered Bamee Moo Deang which has egg noodles with BBQ pork, fish balls, and bok choi. There were some spices in the bowl that you mix up with the noodles and it's so tasty! It kind of reminded me of cantonese food because of the ingredients (minus the spices haha). The second time I ordered Nam Tok Moo which has sliced pork, chinese broccoli, cilantro, cabbage and herbs in a dark pork broth. I'm not super crazy about the dark broth but it was still pretty good. SC ordered Kao Moo Deang which has BBQ pork, pork belly, and chinese sausage served with rice in a black sauce. It was good, though we wished there were more veggies in it (it had a carrot garnish and a few slices of cucumber). Both times I ordered the Mango Sticky Rice and it's AMAZING. Warm, soft sticky rice topped with coconut sauce and crunchy coconut shreds with a side of cold mango= perfect combination. I like that there's a huge variety of dishes and it's light/ not super oily tasting but still has great flavor. read more

I started with the Spicy Seafood Pho Taek. The bowl arrived with pieces of shrimp and squid, bits of bay scallop and a mussel, covered by a clear broth that is akin to Tom Yum with its spicy bite, sour notes from lime juice, fish sauce saltiness, and pungency from root aromatics evidenced by the bits of lemongrass, kafir lime leaves, galangal root, and fragrant basil leaves. What was lacking in the less-than-inspiring bits of seafood was made up by the full-bodied clear soup that woke up all the taste buds. An order of the Thai Taste Crispy Spring Roll was out of the ordinary. Crispy rolls made with an outer shell of rice skin, not the usual wheat flour skin, encased a savory mix of ground chicken, carrot, glass noodles, celery, and a surprising ingredient, taro root, that exuded a smooth sweet note to the whole mix. The light dipping sauce, unlike the usual sweet chili sauce, consisting of fish sauce, lime juice, chili, and garlic provided the complementary notes to these tasty bites. Already, one notices a different direction from the usual coming from this Thai kitchen. To read rest of review and view photos, check out my blog at Wongeats. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. It's right next to the Nava Thai, and is much more unassuming. And yet, it completely blows away its competition. I love Thai food so much, and have eaten at most of the Thai places around Wheaton. Thai Taste is certainly the best. Please, please, please give this little joint a try. When I eat here I get the Bamee Moo Deang. If you can handle a bit of spice, try it. I give it 5 stars. The pumpkin empanadas are delish. The eggs are delicious. The fried tofu appetizer isn't the best, though. read more

Not a fancy restaurant - located in back of a grocery- but food is delicious. Get one of the appetizer samplers - condiments are great- and it includes the pork skewers (house specialty).

Decided to give this a try instead of our usual Nava Thai. Big mistake. First of all, the driver was late and the food wasn't hot. And our order was wrong. We ordered rice to go with the panang curry, but they forgot it. Seriously, who forgets rice with curry. That was some of the saddest curry I'd ever seen (see pic: super watery and very little meat). The pad Thai was underwhelming and was a small portion. The spring rolls were fine but the sauce was meh. Sticky rice and mango was good but that's pretty hard to screw up. Don't think we'll be ordering from here again. read more

This is our local Thai restaurant, and we have eaten here a lot. The service is very friendly. The food is very good. We typically order papaya salad, pad Thai, a curry, and a ka prow. The papaya salad is fresh and spicy. The pad Thai is very flavorful. The curry is flavorful, too, and pretty spicy (we order it that way). The only complaint is that the curry is very saucy. It's almost like a soup. So order extra rice. This may be an odd thing to review, but the spice rack is also great. The chili flakes are seriously good, smoky and spicy. The staff told me they make them in house with real, imported Thai chiles. read more

Thai Taste is such a unique restaurant with such a wide variety of menu items that you just can't find at any other Thai restaurant. I really don't understand how it is still flying under the radar and isn't jam packed every time I go, because it really deserves to be. As an appetizer, the pumpkin empanadas are out of this world. As soon as I walk out the door after eating here, I'm already dreaming about the next time I can come back and eat them again. The standard Thai classics are done very well here, so even the less adventurous will be satisfied, but if you're willing to be adventurous, the possibilities are endless here. I feel like I'd have to come here every single day for a year before I really got a feel for the whole menu. The diversity of dishes is really impressive - meaty, meatless, spicy, mild, noodles, rice, soup, fried rice dishes - that's just the tip of the iceberg. The restaurant is part of Hung Phat grocery store (it's the back section), so you can park in the Hung Phat parking lot and dine here. If that lot is full, there's a county lot diagonally across the street, and a county parking garage just a few doors down, which is free on evenings and weekends. Or it's just a 3-minute walk from the Wheaton metro station, if you're willing to brave those loooooong escalators. Although the prices are not quite as low as they used to be, they are still very reasonable for what you get. Thai Taste by Kob definitely earns my highest recommendation for Thai food in the DC area, which is quite the statement, given how many Thai places there are around here. read more

Went back because I saw the photo of noodles for the Washingtonian review thinking MAYBE I never gave them an ample chance, maybe I should try their more unique, daring dishes. Now I recall that I had their shrimp paste fried rice which was bland and mediocre as hell I did not recall it the last time I reviewed it (shrimp paste isn't something me, or anyone else forgets- I grew up hooked on that stuff!) This time around I tried #92 thinking I was ordering that amazing looking dish in that Washingtonian review. Nothing else had wontons in it except for #90 which was the tomato soup base (and there are photos of that on the web already, definitely not it.) and only two dishes have the honey pork, one noodle soup (92) and one dry entree (78). Did I mention that the prices online do not reflect the prices IRL? This restaurant has only been here for about a year and they've already hiked prices. Not to mention that every time I go it's pretty empty- but somehow this restaurant has one of the highest ratings for Thai in SS (Yelp conspiracy?) The noodles and wontons were very overcooked- the wonton skins just tried to slip off the moment you picked up the wontons with your chopsticks and the egg noodles were just no bueno- if you want egg noodles the right way, you really need to go to Mi La Cay next door (hnnnnnng) where they have a chew ("al dente" I guess). There were like three slivers of bok choi in there, three wontons, and some old char siu pork. The wontons are literally a baby shrimp popped into a wonton skin- doesn't take much culinary prowess to do. The pork would have been good if it wasn't obviously sitting in the cooler for way too long- it had that old refrigerator taste. I actually do not order char siu pork all that often except for when it's hanging in the window because I know way too much about Asian restaurants. It "keeps well" due to its dry, leanness so just honestly hangs out in the fridge all week being overlooked by most customers. Ever wonder why the pork at dirty Chinese carryouts is always this stuff, that's why. And if you look at the photo I took, does it honestly look anything like the one they served our wonderful Washingtonian reviewer? No. Maybe I'm stupid and can't figure it out, but I paid ~$11 for this thinking it was the real deal. I feel like what I see online, in terms of pictures, reviews, quality of food is just a tad bit dishonest. I've been here at least 4 times by now, if not more and I've just been burned every time. I honestly don't get it. read more
