The seasoning on the noodles was more red than brown and I liked the sweeter flavor. I've had this style of Pad Thai before and it seems more authentic. I enjoyed that the sauce wasn't too much or 'goopy.' In other words, it wasn't too thick or strong. We ordered an extra side of thin rice noodles to add to our Pad Thai. It was $4 for a small bowl, but I might have preferred a larger portion for that price. As with others reviews, the basic garden salad was one step up with yellow peppers, red peppers, tomatoes, onions and delightful version of the traditional Thai peanut sauce. The portion size makes this garden salad worth the $9.95 price point. We loved the mango with sticky rice dessert. It was so delicious with the thick, sweet coconut rice sauce and sesame seed (I think) garnish. #localtastebyjenny

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure how this place has 4 stars, the food is pretty bad and the staff is aloof. They forgot the rice with my curry order, then said they don't serve rice with curry...umm, false. The veggies were raw as opposed to cooked with the curry, so they obviously just tossed them in after the fact. The veggie gyoza was WAY overcooked...burnt to a crisp and inedible. Avoid this place, just plain bad. read more

However, once we walked in the door, it was apparent this place was focused on carryout, and there was no way we were staying to eat in their dingy entrance area. We walked next door to the Meleket Ethiopian restaurant. However, the place was deserted, and we didn't stay there either. We tried the Lime & Cilantro, the next place down, but it was packed and couldn't handle our group. So, we skipped past the verernary clinic and went to Spring Garden. And, what a great choice that was. They offer a huge menu of Chinese, Thai, and Japanese meals. Everything is reasonably priced. Once we got our food, we were impressed with the quality and portion sizes. And, through it all, the service was prompt and friendly. I ordered Hot and Sour soup (my bellwether for Chinese restaurants) and beef chow fun. The soup was flavorful without being overpowering, and the chow fun was delicious too.

The best things about it are that it taste good and it's affordable. I got the- Sweet and sour combo Egg fried rice (no carrots or peas) Moo shi beef Beef and scallop human style sweet-and-sour combo $13- I almost always get this. It's a variety of tempura fried chicken, pork, and shrimp with a container of sweet-and-sour sauce.. I like how the sauce is packaged separately so the food still arrives crispy (some places don't do that. The food itself tastes very good and has great texture. Egg fried rice (large)$5 -this is the reason I started coming here. you get a very large portion of good tasting fried rice for just $5. Fried rice usually cost more when there's meat in it but it's hard to find places that make egg fried rice and sell it this cheap. I've also never gotten eggshell in it. Many other places I've tried have given me eggshell at one point. Moo shi beef $12.50 - (I don't have any experience with Moo shi, so take this with a grain of salt) it was a bit salty and oily, but it wasn't terrible. It is basically shredded beef and vegetables with very thin square pancakes to eat it from and hoisin sauce as a condiment. As I said it wasn't terrible, but I don't think I'll get it again anytime soon. Beef and scallop Hunan style (spicy) $14.35- I had never had this either prior to last night's order. It is basically, beef, scallops, and vegetables like baby corn, onions, bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots and a thick savory brown sauce. I found it tasted very good. Two complaints about this item. What I received was not spicy (that least to my liking) and there were not very many scallops (the ones I got tasted very good). But this is probably the best item I've had on the menu that wasn't fried.I was very impressed by this. I'll probably start ordering it more with my other regular items.
