Our dining experiences here are consistent--good food, nice service, and conveniently located close to where we live. My family likes the pad Thai here because it's saucy. Ended up ordering some new to us dishes, like the crispy duck (very tasty), the fried calamari appetizer (was fine), and the green curry (tasty but I couldn't handle the spice level that the rest of my family can and likes). Of course, had to have the Thai iced tea. read more

I had wondered how this place could remain under 4 stars despite being in business for 15 years. When I finally visited, I definitely understood why. I came here on a Saturday because I wanted Thai food and this place had the outdoor seating listed on Yelp (I needed to sit outdoor because of my young child). When I arrived, it was raining, and the outdoor tables had no umbrellas. So I could only order carryout. I was surprised they had no paper carryout menus and was told I could take pictures of the menu or access it online. During the wait for the food, I finally noticed the umbrellas stored indoors instead of used on the tables outside. So I asked the staff if I wanted to sit outside, would it be possible to use the umbrellas? When I asked this question, the rain had slowed to a drizzle and I could understand if they refused which is why I asked them "if". But they refused by giving a pathetic excuse saying the wind would blow over the umbrellas. There was barely any wind and the wind speed in Gaithersburg overall at the time was 10mph. I could understand if they didn't want to get wet but such an obvious lie is insulting. When the food was ready, the rain finally stopped so I did get to sit outside and eat right away. The taste in each dish was pretty good, but the texture of the meat in all the dishes were DRY. I'm a pretty forgiving person when it comes to meat quality but this was too noticeable for me to ignore. I am willing to return to try the place again and dine inside since the interior looks beautifully designed and the taste of the food is worth giving them a second chance. read more

I had Thai Tanium delivered after a long trip and was incredibly surprised with the quality and deliciousness. The duck salad and brussel sprout salad were excellently balanced, with a great balance of crunch, sweet, spicy, and sour. The textures were perfect. The tom yum was strongly tamarind flavored with sourness and a rich chili flavor. The tod mun pla (thai fish cake) were delicious and juicy with a great dipping sauce. Finally, the mango sticky rice was perfectly cooked - sticky and creamy with ripe mango. some of the better thai food i've had in a while. read more

Food/Drink, 4.5/5: Dang, where do I begin with the food, IT'S SO GOOD! There are quite a few Thai places in the Gaithersburg area, but this is definitely in my top 5. I recommend their Pad See Eaw noodles and their Crispy Pork Belly! Their Thai tea is pretty good as well, not as sweet as you would expect. Pricing, 4/5: It's pretty good pricing. The quality of the food matches the price I would say. **Also, if you check in on YELP, you get a 15% off coupon! Service, 3.5/5: It was a bit slow, even though we were one of the only people in the restaurant (we ate a pretty early dinner). It took our server a few times to get us things we asked for, but I will say the food did come relatively quickly. Aesthetic/Atmosphere, 5/5: It has a very cute and traditional interior. It's a nice place for a date night! Overall Experience, 4.5/5: I will be back! Overall, I enjoyed my experience! read more

This was by the far the best Thai restaurant I have experienced. The service was impeccable, and there was such a variety of options to choose from.

Been coming in for years with an ex-office colleague. The portions are good and the lunch specials (~$11.99-12.99) can't be beat. Add in $4 to get an appetizer and a drink. Being a creature of habit, I usually get the Pad See Ew with pork. Some places overcook the pork, but Thai Tanium always gets it right for me. Don't know about their carryout or delivery, as I always eat at the location, but I can only speak for my in-dining experience. Nearby Astra Zeneca/(former MedImmune) employees seem to flock to this place during lunchtime. read more

I've had Thai food from so many different places and always get Pad See Ew with extra broccoli. Of course, I ordered the same thing at Thai Tanium. The dish wasn't anything special, but the portion was generous and it tasted pretty much like all the other Thai restaurants I've been to. They have a lot of other dishes that I would be interested in trying as well. read more

I love Thai food! I wanted to order tasty food from a local restaurant while I was in Gaithersburg. I also wanted to participate in supporting a local establishment during Yelp's Big Night On Saturday, May 30th. I looked up The restaurant on Yelp and the REVIEwS were pretty good. I ordered Drunken Noodle, Chicken Spicy Fried rice, and Spring Rolls via the Yelp application. Their delivery service is through Grubhub. My drunken noodle were ok. They were spicy but were greasy. I've definitely had better Drunken Noodle . The spicy fried rice with chicken was very tasty. I would definitely recommend it if you like fried rice. It's also very filling. The spring rolls were also very good. The food was delivered in less than 45 minutes so that was good. read more

Top of the Line Thai. I'm Billy Thai and have tried 150+ DMV area Thais. Great expansive menu with ever-changing Specials and a Bar! The basics of Pad Pad See Eww on up. Portions are plentiful and pricing right for the neighborhood. This restaurant spawned several other locations/ concepts so you know the owners are creative and savvy. I'll come back with more specifics at later date. read more

11/23/21 My friend and I came for lunch today. I haven't been here in years. I used to come with my family before getting married and moving to another county. Fortunately, I work in Montgomery County close by. They have a lunch special menu Monday through Friday from 11:30-3pm. There are 12 options and you have a choice of meat: $9.95 for Chicken, pork, beef, tofu, or veggie or $12.95 Shrimp or Seafood. For an additional $3 you can make it lunch set which includes selected drinks and appetizers. I chose Thai Ice Tea, Veggie Roll, and Pad Thai. The food came out fairly quickly, but we were the first patrons there for dine-in. I prefer my tea to be sweeter. Veggie roll were fine, but a bit bland to me. When the Pad Thai came out I thought there was curry in it based on the color. I've never seen it that shade before. I have a sensitivity to strong odors and feel nauseous by the smell and taste of curry. Fortunately it was a false alarm. Pad Thai was really good. My friend and I shared an order of the Taro Custard for dessert. It was delish. I've never had it before and thought it was interesting to have fried onions as a topping. Service was fine. Our server could have stopped by to check on us more frequently. Fortunately we didn't need anything and could have flagged him easily since we were seated by the entrance. My friend enjoyed her first visit. We both left feeling full and jolly. We had doggy bags and our iced tea to go. Tip: Check-in on your yelp app to get 15% off your order. read more

Food was good. I really enjoyed the vegetarian spring rolls. I would have preferred more spice as I requested in my drunken noodles. I was not happy with the online ordering since I couldn't submit my order because it kept asking for more tip. Why should I tip when the system won't accept my order without one. read more

This is one of our go-to spots. The food is always excellent, as is the service. Our favorite dishes are the khao soi, drunken noodles, Tom kah, and papaya salad. You really can't go wrong! read more

Pro: clean environment, rustic atmosphere, good food, good staff service. Con: none. Had a movie outing with the family and after finishing we decided to come here for some food. We were a group of 6 and when we enter it was empty at around 4 pm but later on it started to get full. The interior is rustic with some nice calm music in the background. For appetizer, I order the steam dumpling, chicken satay, and the fried calamari. The dumpling was an explosion of flavors and the chicken satay was very delicious with that sauce. The fried calamari was good but pale in flavor compare to the other two. For my main course I ordered the beef fried rice. It was a good portion size and the flavors was very good but to much onion slices in the dish. The waiter was very attentive to our need and came to refill our drinks throughout the meal. All in all, I throughly enjoy my dining experience here and would recommend anyone to give this establishment a try if you want to enjoy some good Thai food. read more

Not only is Thai Tanium a clever play on words, but the food also does not disappoint! I've gotten delivery from Thai Tanium twice and both times I got the Tofu Pad Thai! For the price, you get a large amount of food that'll keep you full for many hours and is probably more than enough for two meals. The dish itself is delicious, although you may be thrown off by the fact that the tofu is puffy and not the typical tofu that you might expect. I admit that the pad thai is quite heavy, but there are many pieces of tofu and everything together is amazing! i would highly recommend! read more

This is honestly my family and I's favorite restaurant. We come here often enough that the servers know who we are and can anticipate our orders. The inside of the restaurant is quite lovely and is filled with wonderful decor. The staff is always extremely nice and attentive. The menu is filled with a ton of options so finding what you like should be no difficulty. They also offer a lunch deal with is quite win in my opinion because you can get a drink, an appetizer, and entree for $20 (if I recall correctly). Another plus is that the portion size is HUGE so make sure to not eat beforehand. The food always tastes good and worth the price. My family and I will continue to dine here. read more

I've been to Thai tanium many times in the most, but most recently on a Saturday night about 8:30. The restaurant was not too busy and we were seated immediately. I order the "special deal" which is a glass of wine or beer, appetizer, and entree for $20. I got the calamari and the pad see ew. The calamari was a little rubbery, but the breading was good. The pad see ew came out quickly and was very hot and very flavorful. I really enjoyed this dish here and even commented that it was better than I remembered. The service is always good and it's typically a quick meal unless you want to hang out for conversation. read more

I'm a big fan of the Thai Tanium lunch special. $10.95 for chicken/pork/veggie dishes, $11.95 for beef dishes. I usually order the pad see eaw and thai fried rice. Both of which are fresh dishes that taste amazing. My dad also ordered the pad cashew but which had pork mixed with a small amount of steamed veggies and cashew nut. We also ordered a thai iced tea and an appetizer of veggie spring rolls (not featured in photos) which was an extra $4. You have 2 pieces of small rolls and the iced tea mixed together ($2 each). Also, which were delicious and reasonably priced. Everything was delicious and decently sized for a tasty lunch special. We went around 1:00 and the crowd was not too bad. Definitely would come back for another lunch special! read more

Well in my last review I said when I come back to Thai Tanium I will definitely be getting the pumpkin curry..and you know I did. Okay I'm a gal who loves fall and everything pumpkin related so this was just so me. There was a good amount of pumpkin chunks balanced perfectly with some tofu and other vegetables. I was getting so full but I still had food left on my plate and I couldn't stop myself. Really delicious and enjoyable meal read more

Did an online order, arrived at the restaurant when it was supposed to be ready, only to be told the order would take 10 more minutes. Came back 10 minutes later, was told 10 more minutes. Someone else came in for pickup and was also told the same thing, 10 more minutes. At that point I realized they hadn't even started the order and this is what they were telling everyone. Will never order from this restaurant again. read more

I am disgusted and just finished vomiting during my work lunch break. I ordered a few dishes from here because my family really loved the food here and found it reasonably priced. Today when I went to heat up and eat my leftovers, I found a cockroach in my eggplant dish. This is absolutely a health violation and a great concern especially during the time of Covid 19. I would expect restaurants to be taking extra precaution with their ingredients and cleanliness ESPECIALLY during this time. I am never coming back here again, this was shocking and such a disappointment. read more

Asked for no ice in Thai iced tea as we were going to drink it later. Paid with nice tip and drove off like normal. Daughter notices that all cups with no ice were barely full! Did ThaiTanium skimp on the drink just bc I asked for no ice??? Looks that way! I would have paid more if asked as we were expecting full cups! Anyhow, just very dissapointed and will have to think twice next time about stopping here. ​ read more

Thai Tanium Restaurant - Barely filled Thai iced tea - Thai Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I've been ordering from Thai Tanium for 4 years now, and the food is always good. This time I made the mistake of order on Mother's Day. I made the online order, and was going to pick it up myself. The online order said it should be ready to pick up in 45 minutes. I show up around 50 minutes after placing my order, and I'm told it will be another 10 minutes. 20 minutes later I check in and they say it will be another 15 minutes. As I had plans of my own I said if it won't be ready, just cancel the order because I had plans to deal with. So the guy comes back and say they have only one dish to finish, and it won't be long. I get my order and take it home only to find out that half the order was missing. So thanks for ruining Mother's Day. Late dinner, and the guest of honor didn't even get their food. So lesson learned, never order on a day you think they're busy, because they aren't good under pressure. read more

Ordered carryout... Had the crab rangoon and red curry. Food lacked a lot of seasoning.

Food is delicious. Have never had a bad meal. Atmosphere is so relaxing and the service top-notch.

Boy has this restaurant gone downhill. My family has been enjoying Christmas Day meals there for the last 4-5 years. 10 of us on Christmas Day with a reservation show up and right around that same time the carryouts started to pick up, and the restaurant started to fill up. No one ever identified themselves as our waiter?? All the employees were just running around to different tables doing different things at different times. What a mess. Of the 10 of us seven were finally served our meals, at the same time is our appetizers. We kept having to track down someone to get refills on drinks. 3 people in the party never did get their meals. Worst experience ever. I guess we will have to look for a new restaurant to celebrate Christmas together next year. Such a huge letdown we have been going there for 15-20 years on a regular basis. It looks as though there's new ownership and they just don't have their s**t together. Goodbye Thai Tanium! One star only because I was forced to. . read more

I, surprisingly, have never had Thai food before. So when a friend of mine a d I decided to go out for lunch, why not take advantage and try something I've never had! This place is located in the kentlands near a few other shops and restaurants. Parking is ok. If you find one close by, be sure to check the time limits. When I walked in, it wasn't busy and I was greeted immediately. I told her I was waiting for a friend but she was able to seat me. When my friend arrived we were tended to pretty quickly. We took advantage of the lunch special, which included a drink, appetizer, and entree which was around $12. I ordered ice tea, spring rolls, and pad Thai. The spring rolls were light and delicious and I especially loved the pad Thai. Everything was pretty filling and I was able to take home some leftovers for dinner. My friend ordered the tom yum soup and panang curry with tofu, which she also really enjoyed. The overall ambiance was nice and warm. It's pretty small, but cozy. There was a small bar near the entrance as well, but I didn't try any of their drinks. The staff were really efficient and attentive. I would definitely try this place again to try some of their different Thai dishes. read more

First time going to this restaurant in Kentlands. It is kind of hidden across from the Crepe place. Inside is decorative and inviting. Got seated in a booth. Ordered Papaya Salad, Minced Chicken Salad appetizer, Chicken Pad Thai, and Lemongrass Chicken. Liked everything except for the Lemongrass chicken since it had kind of an Indian Curry flavor to it. Not really like the usual Lemongrass Chicken I get at Vietnamese restaurants. But all of the other foods tasted delicious, especially since everything was extra spicy! Really liked the fact that they matched our request to make the foods very spicy. Service was great! read more

3rd time here. My wife and I always love our food. The last two times we've gotten the summer special soft shell crab in the spicy chili basil sauce and it is so delicious! Loved it so much we came again just to get it before it left the menu for the year. We always get shrimp pad Thai as that is one of my wife's favorite dishes in general and she really likes the pad Thai here. Even though our food took a while the staff made sure to check on us and communicate which always makes it a lot more okay to wait. Will obviously be back again. So glad to have this place close by! read more

The DC metro has some of the best Thai restaurants so this dining experience at Thai Tanium was was shocking. On the "Specials" menu, I ordered the $19 CRISPY Pork Belly which should have been called HARD AS ROCK Pork Belly. You couldn't chew it. I sent it back. They replaced it with the Green Curry which was OK but not that great. My husband said the Tom Kha was OK as well. Not the best, but not horrible. He ordered Drunken Noodles and Chicken which was subpar and the chicken was dry. I ordered a $4 Diet Coke which finally arrived for the last 10 minutes of the meal. A staff was sweeping the floor all around us and others were running around cleaning the empty tables. We had no idea who our server was as three different people came to the table throughout the night. We decided to try this place instead of our current favorite, Siriwan Thai 4 Sectors in Germantown. Save yourself the disappointment (and cost) and drive to Germantown for their food. It's incredible. Oh, we did think one item was good: the rice. read more
