    Golden Silk Lime Pie
    Bill C.

    Good service, food tastes and was prepared fresh and came out relatively quickly. The lime flavored pie wasn't good but the dumpling appetizer is great. Would go back. Located just opposite National Cancer Institute

    Khao mun gai Tod $13  (instagram: @issa.cheatday)
    Xavier I.

    Sunday 1/4/26 I believe Yelp brought this spot to my attention, so I decided to try it out. I made an online order for a total of $39.22, getting the Khao mun gai Tod $13, Thaiger crying sandwich (w/ provolone cheese) $12, and Red curry sandwich (w/ cheddar cheese) $12. - The service was nice and pleasant upon pick up. - The food itself isn't really anything special or impressive: the taste is alright, and portions are lacking to the point where it feels overpriced. - Overall, it's not a bad spot, just standard and alright for the most part. -- #issa.cheatday

    This place is always a solid meal. I've been going here for months. My partner likes to order food from here whenever we are in need comfort food. Our top pick is hands down the Khao Soi and Thai tea. The first time we ate there we were a little shocked and off put by all the fusion dishes, but we have grown to love the fusion. We've never had a single complaint about the food. It's really cozy inside. Every time I've been they barely had anyone else dining in which is sad because this food is so good. Plus the server is so nice. Don't sit on this place.

    We would definitely be down for coming back here to try more of their menu. We went in for an early lunch and we're the only sit down customers. They don't have a specific lunch menu but prices weren't exorbitant so that was nice. While we didn't try any of their specials (written on a chalkboard) it does look like they change them regularly. What we got: Thaiger is Crying Sandwich - 4* it's definitely not spicy, but the salad it comes with has a spicier dressing. Wonderful flavour and I'd be interested in checking out their other sandwiches. The fries were decent too and paired well with the meal. Khao Soi Briased Beef - 4.5* fantastic flavour! Perfect for a chilly day.

    Yummy spot for Thai-American fusion eats! Definitely a great place for lunch, they've got really nice lunch combos, and the service is fast. The interior is super cute and airy with lots of seating. Also a convenient parking garage right next door. I tried both the Green Curry and Red Curry sandwiches, and each came with a small salad (with a light sweet fish sauce dressing) and fries. Green Curry Sandwich: Loved this one! Packed with flavor and served on perfectly toasted, crunchy white bread. The filling had slabs of chicken, fresh basil, bell peppers, cheese, onions, and green curry sauce. I asked for it extra spicy and loved the kick, though I def would've appreciated even more of the sauce inside. Red Curry Sandwich: Similar setup to the green curry, but the flavor leaned nuttier and slightly sweeter. It was still good, but felt a bit dry because of lack of sauce. Because of this, it ended up tasting more like a grilled chicken sandwich without much curry flavor. Really wish they offered an optional side of curry sauce (green or red) for sandwich dipping, I'd def pay extra for that!

    We ordered 2 appetizers:fried calamari and puffs. I feel that these appetizers are not their greatest strength. This place has nice entree. This time we got the rice dish w pork and the curry noodle. Last time I tried the sandwich.

    Thai Cottage Bistro is one of my new favorite Thai restaurants. It hits all of the right notes. Located on Medical Center Drive, right off Shady Grove Road, it is convenient and easy to find. A Parking garage is located right next store to the restaurant. The dining area is lovely, filled with cherry wood laminate topped tables, a floor that resembles bamboo, and plenty of plants and wall decor. The service was excellent. I was greeted warmly when I walked in the door. My server was so nice and efficient. My order was ready in 10 minutes. And , the food was simply amazing. It takes authentic Thai food and adds its own contemporary spin to it. Normally, a popular Thai appetizer is chicken satay. Thai Cottage Bistro creates a delicious sandwich with the grilled marinated chicken and a slaw that adds just the right amount of acid to the dish. The grilled bread is a perfect addition and the Thai peanut sauce is addicting. I would put that sauce on everything, if you let me. The sandwich is accompanied by fries and a salad. Next time, I will ask them to pack a the salad separately. My fries got a little soggy on the way home. I also ordered the dynamite shrimp. There were four large shrimp that had been delicately breaded and fried. The dynamite sauce was excellent too. The bill for both dishes was really reasonable and I am pleasantly full. What a gem of a restaurant and I will be back soon.

    Green Curry Sandwich

    I've had Thai Cottage Bistro plenty of times and I think I would it call it one of my comfort foods! I mean I love Thai food so I'm very bias, but their food is SCRUMPTIOUS! I get their Thai Green Curry Sandwich, it comes with fries, little salad, and yummy sauces of green curry and sweet salad sauce! I usually get it to-go which I love the aesthetic (If you don't believe me, look at my picture I post!) So not only is it good to look at, it's yummy too! Basically it's a 2 in 1 since you've got sweet and savory too. I've ate inside once and they're friendly. Parking is simple and abundant, there's a garage right next door where you can park. So if you're craving a sandwich but also Asian fusion, this is the place for you!

    Curry Puff (2) with diced potatoes, carrots, and peas with Cucumber-red onion relish sauce - yum. November 2024.
    Gail R.

    The curry puffs are a little thicker but still flaky. Devoured both especially with the dipping sauce it comes with (Cucumber-Red Onion Relish Sauce). Tom Yum Chicken Burger was massive. I had the sauce on the side as it was spicy. I only ate half of this, but when I removed some of the bread and started eating the chicken, it was a bit on the dry side. As I have heard good things about this place, I will go back, but just try something different on the menu. Parking was free in the retail garage next to this business (shows two hours are free). 3.5 stars until my next visit. Visited November 2024

    Thai Cottage Bistro. The restaurant is very clean on the inside and has a modern setting. The customer service was very good as well. The food was great, really nothing to complain about. The dish I ordered was the Kao Mun Gai Tod which had fried chicken and rice and the proportions were great for its price. The dessert I had which was the Taro Roti is definitely a must try, it is a roti with taro inside with a side of matcha ice cream. Overall I would highly recommend this place and I will be coming back to try other dishes!

    Just wanted to revisit this restaurant because I honestly think this is one of the best Thai additions to moco and I'd hate to see them close so hoping they get more traction and business in a location that's been doomed to failure. They've added a lot more menu options that have exceeded my already high expectations since my last review. The soft shell crab noodles, roti canal, and beef massaman curry are unparalleled to anything other Thai place in the area. A true hidden gem that all should experience.

    This place was the perfect choice for a Sunday. Quiet, relaxing, casual, and fabulous Thai food. Free parking right by the restaurant. Great service. Exactly what I needed on this rainy day.

    Finally had the chance to stop by Thai Cottage Bistro and really enjoyed my lunch here. Came during peak lunch hours and the restaurant was packed. Luckily I was able to snag one of the last two tables in the restaurant. Service was friendly and our food came out in a decent amount of time, especially given the amount of diners. I took advantage of their lunch special and ordered the Kao Mun Gai Tod (Thai-style fried chicken) with veggies dumplings and a Thai iced coffee for just $3 more! Great deal! I thought the veggie dumplings were pretty standard, but a good started to my meal. My fried chicken was crispy and tender - the sour sauce it came with wasn't neeneeded. The steamed rice it came with was seasoned, and I couldn't get enough of it. So good! This was my first time trying a Thai iced coffee and I enjoyed it. Not too strong or sweet. I definitely plan to come back!

The machine has an ever-changing selection of reds, whites, and rosés to either taste or get a full pour of. Both times I have attended I have gravitated to the red blends, becoming favorites of mine. The staff were really nice to chat with and I love the way out of the place, though small. I would be excited to sit outside when the weather is better, though it's just the sidewalk with a bunch of cars going by a busy street. The inside has bar seats, a small lounge area, and a high long table. Did I mention they also sell a bunch of wines, snacks, and more? They have events too, so I will have to check those out.

I visted on a Tuesday so it wasn't too busy. I found reasonably priced metered parking right outside. There's also a nearby garage. Demi was a pleasure to chat with and learn more about this business. I liked the self-serve option for tasting and/or a full glass. I was impressed with the selection of wines. My fave was the Castella D'Alba (a red blend from Portugal). They offer charcuterie options. It's not a large space so if visiting with a group, reservations are recommended! I can't wait to visit again.

    Representing 2019 in DMV runner-up in alphabet series, C is for Copper Canyon Grill. I had been to…read morethe RIO location twice, both in 2019. I first tried at Silver Spring on a date in July 2018. In fact, that was one of the dates where we went to Kung Fu Tea after dinner (see my 3-star review I just wrote of them). I was impressed with that location. So, in March 2019, I was happy my friend had his birthday party there. The same friend who went to BJ's Restaurant in Frederick (my last review I just wrote: see my 3-stars of them) also joined me for a movie & for the birthday party. She swayed me to get Prime Rib. And she was right! One of the best prime ribs out there. Ultimately, she became a girlfriend, and early on in that relationship, she really wanted to go back to Copper Canyon, and after a movie at RIO, we went again. Service was very good, and we enjoyed prime rib again. Prime rib comes with green beans & mashed potatoes, which are great too, but the real star is the prime rib itself. Interestingly, my girlfriend of that time ate the prime rib by herself on Friday, March 13, 2020. She joined me for 1 movie, I joined my friend for 2 movies, & he went to 3 movies on that Friday. He was understandably concerned the movie theaters were shutting down any day for Covid, and he wanted to get his AMC A-List 3 movies in for the week of March 13-19, 2020 and not break his 90+ week streak he had going of always getting his 3 movies in since he joined A-List. My friend & I had dinner at BGR before my 1st movie & his 2nd movie, which went out of business unfortunately, but BGR in Columbia is still there. Like my friend panicking about getting his 3 movies in, my girlfriend was being pragmatic saying I won't be able to have prime rib for a while as restaurants will shutdown for Covid. I was a bit jealous even though BGR was good; let's be honest Copper Canyon prime rib is even better! In December 2025, my girlfriend wanted to try Copper Canyon for her birthday since I had mentioned the place several times (including times I went with my ex). I realized there's one by Arundel Mills, which was great as I didn't want to schlep from my home to Largo, Silver Spring, or Gaithersburg in order of distance, none of which are close to my home today, which is only about 8 miles from Arundel Mills. That new location is my new favorite, but this one is a close 2nd place.

As a vegetarian I feel like they did not have that many options which was disappointing - and the ones that they do, I feel are over priced. Very average food- you're paying for the view not necessarily quality of food. Service was good, our server was sweet but food took a while to get out. It's alright, but would check out other places before here- but the drinks were fabulous! So maybe apps and drinks by the water during sunset?!
