It's been quite some time since I've been to Amina Thai and was in the mood so...here we are…read more We decided on Pad Thai (chicken), Drunken noodles (Shrimp), and samosas...wow. Delicious. You can adjust the heat (we chose medium) and the portions are generous. Keep in mind that Thai food can be extremely spicy, so choose wisely :D I can't get over how exceptional everything tasted. I remember it being good but not like this. The chicken tasted CLEAN (this requires a full-blown conversation to explain) and had the perfect bite. If you're ordering takeout then make sure to mix the noodles before eating. The samosas were PERFECT. Is it pricier than other places? Yes. Does the taste match the price? Also yes. Keep in mind that sometimes it's because of the ingredient quality and where it comes from. Some are simply more expensive than others. My attitude towards Thai food is a bit of a love/hate situation, but Amina just might put me back on the love wagon. Some places have this overwhelming fishy taste in everything, which I truly hate. From the depths of my soul. Oh yes, and it's also Halal. Bonus :D Order some takeout or dine in, whatever tickles your fancy, and enjoy!

Amina Thai in Silver Spring, MD has been a good experience on the few occasions I have dined. Their…read morestyle and production of Thai cuisine seems to be consistent with that of others of similar caliber in the area and DMV as a whole. Their staple dishes such as Drunken Noodles, Thai Fried Rice, Kaprow Fried Rice, Pad Broccoli and such are pretty much consistent with the way in which others of similar caliber produce it in the DMV. The food here is always fresh and delicious. I am satisfied with the quantity of food you get for the price you pay. I recommend exercising caution when experimenting with their menu items that specifically indicate SPICY because in my experience spicy here means loaded which chili pepper and almost to the point where you might miss the overall flavor of the dish due to the heat being so much in the foreground. Storefront street parking is terrible so you'll need to take advantage of nearby parking garages if you are not walking. Overall a good experience. I'll continue to patronize this place. Give them a try.

Not as good as it used to be sadly. First time back in 1 year…read more Sure portions are smaller like every where in this day and age but prices are bigger too. Regardless of that, if you think a pad Thai is a safety dish for a kid you're trying to convince that Thai is good, this is not the place to get it anymore. It was overly fish saucy and tangy, and bits of noodles buried under neath. The crispy spring rolls were over cooked like almost charred and the contents also tasted burnt. My Panang curried shrimp was ok but the shrimp had absolutely no flavor. Just tasted boiled, thrown in the sauce. Service was kind but slow despite there being three servers now instead of the one fellow who used to work there. Also wine glasses and portions are smaller but at least the price is still reasonable. Can't say I'll be back any time soon if ever sadly, but it's nice to see that they seem to have a bunch of local regulars who still come.

Theres a tiny…read moreparking entrance straight off of Carrol that's free for an hour and then $4 an hour after (even if you're 5 min past!) so it's just better to do meter or come after 7p and the meters are free! It's also a short walk from Takoma Metro. Cute and casual place. I didn't need reservations on Friday night or Monday night coming around 6:30 or 7 PM. It's probably harder and bigger groups but if you're just coming in two or four or even six, it should be pretty manageable. My favorite here is the pad Thai. I get extra lime and the spicy tray. And it's one of the best pad Thais I've had. The drunken noodles was OK and the green curry was OK for me. Not bad but also not what I'd be returning for (I'm coming back for pad thai!) my husband loved the green curry though. Service is pleasant and nothing over the top and water is topped off timely manner. Absolutely no complaints. They have two single stall bathrooms and that's kept pretty clean. They're outside seating is for takeout so that's kind of pleasant if you wanna do takeout and just eat it outside.

Kao Thai has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Silver Spring. The moment you walk in,…read moreyou're greeted with warm lighting, inviting aromas, and a calm, cozy atmosphere that sets the tone for a great meal. The food is incredible. Every dish feels fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared. The curries are rich and aromatic without being overwhelming, the noodles are perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the balance of herbs, spice, and sweetness is spot-on. It's the kind of place where you find yourself taking slower bites just to savor everything. And I have to mention the lychee martini--easily one of the best I've had. Light, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweetness, it pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of the dishes. It's the kind of drink you order "just to try" and then end up thinking about days later. Whether you're grabbing a casual dinner or celebrating something special, Kao Thai delivers consistently delicious food, great drinks, and a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend!

I'm still…read morethinking about their mango sticky rice, which is so good it should probably come with a warning: May cause lifelong cravings. The extra coconut sauce? Absolute perfection. If I could get it in a gallon jug, I would. The panang curry is another star--it's creamy, rich, and Thai spicy. And by "Thai spicy," I mean it doesn't mess around. This isn't "mild with a kick." This is "call the fire department, but also keep eating because it's amazing." The roti canai is flaky, buttery, and comes with a dipping sauce that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about bread. And then there's the "Bikini" appetizer--yes, the name is fun, but the shrimp in it is even better. Juicy, flavorful, and basically impossible to share. I'd absolutely go back to Khao Thai in a heartbeat--partly to work my way through the rest of the menu, and partly because I think my subconscious is already planning another mango sticky rice dream sequence.

Every entrée we tried had that perfect balance of bold spices and depth that keeps you going back for another bite. It's small, unpretentious, and feels like a true neighborhood spot where the focus is all about the food. Nothing fancy, just Thai dishes done right and with affordable prices. If you're looking for flavorful Thai food in a laid back setting, this place is a must visit.

This is my go to! I love them!!!…read more I have countless lunch special/ dinner here since I live nearby, and needless to say it's because they did everything so well! Great wok hey everytime for stir fry items, really generous portions for curry and soup. It's authentic and not overly strong fish sauce like some other places. And their Thai spicy is not for the weak, it's truly Thai level spicy! My favorite has to be their drunken noodles, but I've had almost everything and nothing disappoint. They even have daily specials which is amazing! Call to ask for their specials if you're interested. Quick and fast service, even the online ordering will tell you it takes 20 mins...they always got it ready within 10 mins. We still haven't done in since we have pups and live really close anyways, but I wish to see more people go there and try their food! They remodeled the interior a bit and updated new online order platforms and payment options. Best of all, opens 7 days a week! I'm currently walking out of the restaurant waiting for my to go order and he says it will only take 10 mins..which took 7 mins for 2 lunch specials! Gotta try them if you're around! Highly recommended!

From the welcoming atmosphere to the consistently delicious food, it's easy to see why people keep coming back. Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of pho or one of their other flavorful dishes, there's really no wrong choice. On this visit, I ordered the lemongrass beef, and it absolutely hit the spot. The meat was flavorful and satisfying, and I was especially grateful that it arrived so quickly because I came in starving. If you're under the weather be sure to order their pho. It's equally impressive, with a rich, aromatic broth that will warm your belly (and keeps this diner coming back time and time again). The restaurant itself is cozy and inviting, yet surprisingly spacious with plenty of seating. It's the perfect spot to get together with friends or family for a quick lunch, or comforting dinner.
