Amina Thai

First time here with friends. Don't let the outside fool you, the food is delicious. The tofu was plentiful and delicious. It was mi first time trying the drunken noodles and the portions were so large I have leftovers for work the next day!

Thursday 1/2/2025I came across this spot on an instagram post that was mentioning the best DMV Thai so I had to see it for myself.I made an online order through their website and got the pad see-ew (beef-mild) $14.95, pad Thai (chicken-mild) $14.95, and the mango red curry (chicken-medium) $15.95.- The pad see-ew was really good and is easily in the top 2 for best pad see-ew I've had.- The pad Thai was a new experience for me as it was my first EVER experience trying it but it was just alright (thought it would've been better). Also the chicken portions were significantly less than I expected.- The mango red curry was a dish I had HIGH expectations for but it fell flat. The "mango curry" taste and flavor were underwhelming even with the addition of the mango peices.Overall, this spot has some pretty decent Thai. The pad see-ew is THE highlight and the other 2 dishes could've been better. If you're in the area searching for Thai then this is a solid spot for your Thai cravings.

I placed a mobile order for drunken noodles with chicken (my go to Thai favorite). My order was ready upon my arrival. I was greeted right away. The restaurant was empty at the time. Getting into this lot is a bit tricky or at least it was for me since I was not familiar with this location. I had only been to the Silver Spring location. There is parking. My food was not spicy as I had requested. There are different levels and since it was my first time, I chose the almost spiciest level. It could have been hotter for me. I ended up having to add my own pepper at home! The flavors were good. the portion size was fair. I won't say it was the best Thai I've had. I would possibly give them another try, but won't go out of my way.

I don't really give a 1-star but this Thai restaurant really disappointed me. I placed a to-go order and when I entered, there was no greeting, no smile, nothing. Plain and simple customer service was the 1/5. Secondly, I only ordered a shrimp drunken noodle and I requested it to be mild spice which was the least spice on the order app. Guess what? It was like a medium spice. Ok that's fine but wow, the amount of oil that was placed in was insanity. One thing I will admit though, I paid $4 extra to get shrimp on my drunken noodle, and it was well worth for that. Though, I will never go back to this restaurant nor do I recommend anyone to.

I placed an online order for pick-up. The site was very user friendly, I had no issues placing my order. When I arrived at the restaurant, the employees were super kind and greeted me right away. It was very clean inside and super cute. My food was made right away and I took it home. It was still hot. Very delicious. Highly recommend this place. I ordered the panang curry with chicken. This was my first time here and it won't be my last.

Updating this review and adding a star as they've finally introduced online ordering! This makes a huge difference to us millennials in terms of convenience (and honestly - just seeing it laid out in your cart is a huge plus).Amina Thai's food remains rock solid as it always has been - you can never go wrong with any of their curries (still need to try their pumpkin curry) or noodle dishes. Everytime I order I do always hope their mango sticky rice is in stock...someday, the stars will align for this!

Just came here for lunch with a coworker and the place was completely empty. I think part of it was because we did come a little early (11:40am-ish), but left at 12:30pm and still no other people ate inside. There were people picking up orders or door-dash deliveries, etc. In any case, we sat down and the service was very fast and courteous. I ordered the Pad See Ewe and it arrived promptly (and super hot too!). The portions were decent and our water was filled once. It was super quiet, so not sure how the vibe is on a Friday or Saturday night. When we paid, the waitress (who I think may have been the owner?) arrived with a ipad where we simply tapped our credit cards and put in a tip. NGL, I like to tip in cash, so I preemptively took out my cash to show the waitress I was not going to forget tipping her, all the while I tapped "no tip" - even though I did tip her! Haha. Overall, a great lunch spot and I will definitely come back here. My only thing I would comment is that there are not a lot of parking spots in front of the restaurant.

Basic no frills Thai food. I didn't feel like driving to my typical spots. I appreciate that this food is Halal. Ordered Penang tofu and veggies, thia fried rice and crispy basal fish. All was flavorful. Historically they have vented the fried fish so that it does not get soggy. It was not done this time and it was not as crisp as usual. Still an enjoyable meal with enough for leftovers.

This is hands down my new favorite Thai restaurant. Everything that I have tried has been absolutely delicious and I am so glad we stumbled upon them by accident last month. I have gone back at least once every week since then Although there aren't many tables inside, the service is extremely quick and everyone who has helped us has been very kind. Please don't judge a book by it's cover as it is not a super fancy spot or have many upgrades, so if that's what you're looking for, then this may not be it. Things I recommend ordering:- Yum nua - beef pad Thai - mango red curry- pumpkin red curryI promise you won't be disappointed!

Thank you for being a reliable place for me to get great food for 7 years and counting! Whenever I want some comfort food that's not complete junk food, Amina Thai is a great place to get takeaways from. I know how to cook them at home but sometimes, I just want a break. And Amina Thai is somewhere I don't mind spending extra $$$ for something I know how to fix at home. I especially love their fried rice on days like that because it's well seasoned, and the ingredients always taste fresh. I dislike fried rice elsewhere usually because of the stale tasting rice. I'm a weirdo who likes my fried rice tasting somewhat moist. We made a phone order and the order was ready when we arrived in 15 minutes. I normally dislike anything with coriander in it but if it's used as a garnish by Amina Thai, I know it is going to be great. And with a squeeze of lemon, I was a happy camper again after a long week. Other dishes I love from Amina Thai are their yum woon saen, massaman curry, pad kee mao, lad na, and kaprow fried rice. Really, anything and everything! As a side note, their parking spaces are a bit limited but it's not impossible to find nearby free parking. They also take Amex, which is great.
