    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
    Al H.

    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
    Amy S.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Fried Calamari
    Tracy B.

    This is the second time we ordered from here this week. The quality and taste of the entree's are excellent. We tried the Chicken Cashew Nut, Calamari, and Green Curry Tofu. The second time we tried the Pad Thai Shrimp, Calamari, and Green Curry Tofu. The Chicken was a little too spicy but the Medium spice in the curry was excellent! I may even try it spicier next time. The service was great and friendly.

Kanpai is in a prime place along Rockville Pike, but depending on when you go you may find easy parking. (If you're not bothered about where to park, ignore what I just said.) Out front there's something that looks like a tuk-tuk or rickshaw. Tbh, don't know if it's theirs or the business next door. The restaurant itself is clean and elegant. Also, not as loud as some Korean BBQs (thinking of KPOT off of Randolph Rd), which is important if you don't like being overwhelmed by everyone else's noise. That is one big '+' in Kanpai's favor. The waiter was cool and very helpful. Because of him I now know what the thin meat slices are meant for (which is for the soup), before then I had no clue. The food itself is good. Like, why wouldn't it be? I actually prefer the shabu-shabu (soup), makes me wish I knew how to do that myself so I wouldn't have to go out as much. Yes, the grill meats were great, as was the kimchi. These places are not cheap, but it was enjoyable while I was there. If you're not in a rush you can go a few doors down afterward to an import store selling everything from K-chips to puzzle-kits. So I would say...take your time. But don't warm your seats for more than 90 minutes, as Korean BBQs tend to kick people out (nicely, nicely) if one overstays. P.S. I'm sure they have some great drinks there, but even if I wanted to I couldn't loiter. That's what Bethesda is for. (Or at least how it used to be.)

We…read morestarted with one order of avocado roll, an order of steamed vegetable dumpling and two entrees - Healthy Chicken with vegetables and Healthy Beef with Broccoli. The avocado roll, although a simple arrangement of rice, seaweed and avocado, was very good. A nice big chunk of avocado in each piece. The steamed dumpling (6 in the serving) were large, each with a good texture and nice flavor inside. The inside veggies taste like what I would associate with the vegetable insides of an egg roll. Nothing fancy, but tasty. We ordered from the Healthy menu to be . . . healthy. It's billed as no oil, low salt and sauce on the side. In addition to being tasty, the meats were flavorful and had a good chew, and the veggies were nice and crisp. The sauce on the side concept really worked for us. We used total a little more than half of one (the garlic sauce) and a little of the other (brown sauce). And the garlic sauce was really spicy and good. The service tonight was great. Our water glasses were filled several times each, without us having to ask. This is the only restaurant in the area that I know of that includes "sauce on the side" on the menu. We recently went to a Chinese restaurant in Rockville and asked for sauce on the side - they responded that "we don't do that." It was a cold night tonight and the restaurant was really, really cold inside. I'm deducting a point from my otherwise 5-star rating because it was pretty uncomfortable. I'm upping this place from a 3 to a 4 star. Worth a visit, just probably not on a cold night.

That raised serious concerns about hygiene and professionalism. Overall, the food quality and cleanliness standards were far below expectations. I would not recommend this place.

Described as one-pepper spicy on the menu, it had less heat than the Kung Pao, but the curry sauce had layers of flavor. It featured shrimp, scallops, and calmari plus a wonderful mix of peppers, onions, and other veg. All were nicely (crisply) cooked, even taking into account the Door Dash delivery time. I really enjoyed it. Next time I may ask for a bit more heat, but as it is, I hoovered up every morsel. Try it - you'll like it!
