I don't have photos of my food for once! We got this as a quick takeout meal on a long day and I devoured it once I got home.The curry is some of the best I've had in a long time - I live in southern Maryland and the options are mediocre at best but this really stood out. Both the massamun and red curry were flavorful. The Thai fried rice was also excellent. My only complaint is the small side of white rice for two curry entrees, I feel as though we should have received another side. Service is great here - they had my pickup order ready when I arrived. The inside is pretty nice despite being located in a little strip mall.

We were put on hold for 20 minutes, and the phone was still off the hook when we got all the way to the restaurant. Then the woman there proceeds to ignore us after telling her what happened. This is the same server that acted like she couldn't be bothered last time we ate in. We love the food but the service is terrible every time we go. This will be the last time we are going to bother with this place. This is the first time I've ever been disgruntled enough to leave a yelp review, this is absolutely ridiculous.

Visited for the first time this evening. started with spring rolls and dumplings for appetizers. They were very tasty. The spring rolls are crunchy and came with the sweet-and-sour sauce while the dumplings came with something that looked like soy sauce, but it was slightly sweet, as well as salty.Thai Fried Rice: What do you think about the dish? The flavor was top tier and the chicken was in big pieces so it was easy to find. Everything was seasoned, it was very good. I was delighted by how well the pineapple fried rice came out. All the flavors were delicate and texture is subtle. The onions were lightly sautéed and had a gentle crispness and tomatoes in the same vein. Service and the atmosphere is top notch, lots of attention and our seating preference was granted.Something was up with the tap tonight but 60 minute IPA saved the day.The california roll was very good, though not as crunchy good nonetheless.The fire roll was light on spiciness, but fresh and beautiful without a doubt.Shout out to this local restaurant's support for the Port Tobacco Players. Bring your tickets stubs for a discount.

The lady who works at the front is very rude every time I've been. When i called to place an order over the phone she clearly was irritated and after waiting on hold for 10 minutes she never came back to the phone

I've loved this place for quite some time now!All of the food I've ever gotten has been so flavorful. My favorite is the drunken noodle with chicken followed by a mango sticky rice for dessert. The spice, followed by something sweet, is the perfect combination! Alcoholic drinks have been hit or miss, but I've found if you tell them exactly what you want, with the amounts, it comes out perfect. If you dine in, expect to be there for a little while. This place isn't fast, so I would recommend visiting when you have good company, or order to go and pick up. I have kids that are VERY picky, but they still love the satay chicken with steamed rice and french fries from the kids menu.

Authentic Thai food in La Plata. My friend and I got 3 meals, 2 Thai iced tea, and 3 drinks. They all came out nice and delicious. The server was very nice and polite. She got all of our orders correctly.The ambiance is also pretty chill and laid back, not narrow and loud as typical Asian restaurants. I'll definitely keep coming back.

I have given this restaurant plenty of business for years. This recent time on 10/6/22, I ordered and paid for the Asparagus Stir Fry with Shrimp, crispy spring rolls and it automatically comes with rice. Once I get home, my order is incorrect and they gave me Asparagus Stir Fry with Chicken. Once I called and notified the restaurant, the employee who took my order was rude with an attitude as I asked for new spring rolls since my meal would be cold when I drove the 15 minutes back home. Initially she said they can give me new rice (of course because it's free) rather than the spring rolls I paid for. Then she proceeds to say she needs to confirm the order didn't contain chicken and not shrimp. Not customer service at all, considering this establishment made a mistake, cost me money and time driving back to their restaurant. Overall, the manager was more professional upon giving me my refund. Will not return here again. I have included pictures my of confirmation order where it clearly states my original order, and what I wrongly received.
