    Tom Yum Veggies Soup
    Jeff B.

    This is a solid Thai restaurant. Nice atmosphere, good service and the food is terrific. My partner and I started with soup - a Tom Yum and a Tom Kha, both with vegis. Each cup was chock full of vegis and the broths were delicious. For entrees, we had the Panang Curry (combo - pork, chicken, beef) and the Drunken Noodles (pork). The Drunken Noodles were spiced with thinly sliced jalapeños, which were spicy but could easily be eaten by a spice lover. The Curry was rich, with a delicious peanut flavor. As I said, the servers were attentive and filled our water glasses several times, without us having to ask. A few reviews here comment on small portion sizes. That was not the experience we had this evening.

    Drunken Noodles

    I ordered delivery of the drunken noodles with chicken, $18.95 before fees and tip. The dish was delivered in under 30 minutes. To say, this is one of the best preparations of drunken noodles I've had would be an understatement. The wide noodles themselves were perfectly cooked, did not clump together, had a fabulous chew and great flavor. The chicken was thinly sliced, tender, juicy, and absorbed much of the flavor of the spices in the dish. The onions, beans, carrots, red bell pepper, and chilies, totally complimented the dish and gave it terrific flavor and texture. I ordered the dish spicy, and the heat level was spot on. A great rendition of drunken noodles I can't wait to try other offerings from Pama Thai.

    I highly recommend PAMA THAI at the Park Potomac next to Harris Teeter. Delicious food and a broad menu. Great service from both Som and Patrick. Lovely spacious restaurant. I really like the space between the patrons, the tall ceilings and that there are tables for parties of six.

    A hidden gem that I found.. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, nice and cozy. Outside seating available, service was exceptional, food was tasty and flavorful. I will definitely be returning to dine in..

    Larb Gai

    This was our first visit here. Loved the simple but elegant decor. The inside dining is spacious and not packed. They have few outdoor seatings. We opted for indoors. The service was fabulous. Now on to the food. I loved Larb Gai and was happy to see it on the menu. It was definitely spicy, but I loved every bite of it. For entrees, we got the Street Noodles and Red Curry with chicken and broccoli. Both were on point. I didn't finish the Street Noodles, so I had room for sticky rice with mango. Yummy. I ate every bite. We look forward to returning and trying other items.

    Another beautiful Buddha statue.

    Pama Thai is a wonderful new addition to the Park Potomac shopping center. I called in my order and the gentleman on the phone was so pleasant. They are very accommodating with your order, I substituted pork in my Pad See Ew and it was no hassle. My order was ready when I got there. I had been once before, but this time I took pictures of the inside. I love all of the Thai art work, statues of different Buddha's, and the beautiful woodwork. They have pillows for your back to make it more comfortable. The house specialty, shrimp pineapple fried rice, is served in a half of pineapple. It has big shrimp, cashews, fried rice, and veggies. It was delicious and granddaughter approved. We also ordered the pad Thai with shrimp. It was very tasty. The shrimp were large and the noodles were soft and fresh. Our next dish, was the pork Pad see ew and it was good. Next time, I will probably order beef or chicken, because the pork was a little over cooked. For appetizers, we had the chicken satay. The dipping peanut sauce was scrumptious. The chicken was a little overdone, but enjoyable. We also ordered the crab Rangoon and it was great. It was crispy and fried perfectly. It had a lot of cream cheese filling and the dipping sauce was a sweet and sour delight. I thought the price point was similar to all of the Thai restaurants in our area. The portions were generous. The service was great. I will be back to try some new dishes next time.

    Pad Kee Mao
    Sera K.

    When walking in, I liked the cozy vibes of the restaurant. I was greeted kindly and had good service throughout my meal. My mom, friend and I ordered a few dishes including the Crispy Fish, Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Pad Kee Mao. We liked everything except for the green curry as the curry spice was too strong, making the vegetables in the curry taste off. I've definitely had green curry in the area at other Thai restaurants. The other dishes we ordered were flavorful and delicious. Overall, the atmosphere was great and I liked all the dishes except for the green curry. I will be back to try other dishes and see if this place is one I will add to my regular rotation.

    Pad Thai (11.1.22)
    Carroll N.

    11.1.22 This restaurant opened fairly recently and is located a few doors down from Harris Teeter. I made the mistake of parking in the lot by Founding Farmers. My friend drove separately and she said the lot by the restaurant is for Harris Teeter. The restaurant is more spacious than I thought it would be. Staff were friendly, one gentleman took our order and the other brought our food to us. I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice (signature dish), but asked for the shrimp to be replaced with the combo meat of chicken, pork, and beef. My friend ordered Chicken Pad Thai (signature dish) without bean sprouts and Crispy Duck Ka Prao to go for her husband. When our food was brought out to us the gentleman who took our order included the bean sprouts (it was printed on the itemized receipt) instead of having it removed so she had to ask it to be redone. I loved my fried rice and she liked her pad thai. Her hubby thought the duck was good. He said it was spicy and overpriced though. Compared to other restaurants I would agree that it is slightly more expensive, but IMO it is also one of the tastier Thai restaurants in the DMV area. This is a nice addition to Montgomery County and I look forward to returning for the Pad See Ew, one of my favorite Thai dishes.

    Newly opened in Park Potomac. It's next to Harris Teeter. I called in for takeout. Was ready when we got there! Staff greeted quickly and were nice. Interior is nice and spacious. Simple decor but comfy. Got the crispy salmon roll because the pictures of the appetizer on their Instagram looked great. Ours needed some more time in the fryer. It also was mostly rice with a hint of salmon. I'd skip this one. Our red curry was with tofu. Has mild heat, but very heavy handed with the sweetness. It was ok. I would get green curry instead next time. Mango sticky rice was good. The coconut ice cream could do with a bit more coconut flavor and some toasted coconut. I hope they do well in Park Potomac! It'll be awhile before I stop by again though.

Good food is important, but customers should also be treated with warmth, courtesy, and respect. I hope the restaurant will improve its customer service.

I noticed that some of the tables have been changed from square to rectangular, making the dining room feel more open and spacious. Each table is now decorated with a small lamp, and artwork adorns the walls--simple updates that add warmth and enliven the ambiance. Another noticeable change is the packaging for the entrée I ordered. It has been updated from a square container to a rice bowl, which I much prefer. The previous packaging reminded me of a school cafeteria, while the new presentation feels more appealing. During my last visit, they also offered lunch specials, which no longer appear to be available. That was a bit disappointing, although it may have been a promotion when they first opened. Their menu is somewhat atypical for a local Thai restaurant, with offerings such as tacos, burgers, and sandwiches. I was in the mood for my usual favorites--Pad Thai and Pad See Ew--but neither is on the menu. I ordered a Thai iced tea and the Kao Mun Gai Tod. The iced tea was good, but I would have preferred a bolder tea flavor. It seemed a bit diluted, possibly from too much ice. The chicken, however, was crispy and flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly--tender rather than dry or chewy. Our server was attentive throughout the meal. She checked on us regularly and promptly cleared our table, providing excellent service.

I asked for spicy and it wasn't really that spicy. Good flavors all around though and decent portions. Pricing I guess was fine, ~$35 post-tax pre-tip. I didn't like that they have a lot of plastic and one-time use items - they gave us water in plastic cups, wooden one-time use chopsticks wrapped in plastic, paper plates if we wanted to share food I guess (I gave this back to them when they brought it over).

We routinely get the Tom Yum soup and it is one of my favorite things here. Today, the broth tasted like sriracha sauce. My partner agreed. The manager came over and asked how things were. I told her that I was disappointed in the soup, and asked if they had changed their recipe. I told her that we routinely get this item as a favorite, and that it normally has a complex flavor of spices and this time tastes like simple sriracha. She asked if we wanted a different soup. I told her no, that this is our favorite soup and that we get it every time and it's just disappointing this time. She said it probably had too much chili paste put into it and that she'd talk to the head chef. And that was the end of it. Never heard another word or saw her again. When the check came, the charge for the soup was still on the bill. I'm deducting a point from my 5-point scores in the past because I'm disappointed that the manager acknowledged there was a problem but still charged for the soup.
