Rod Dee Thai — Restaurant in Baltimore

Dude, LOVED IT!!!

Service: I'm very irritated by poor customer service, but am just as excited and thankful for great service and this place was awesome!! The lady was super sweet, super thoughtful and made me feel welcome right off the bat!!

Food:

Green curry was super flavorful!! Just smelling it, my husband said "this smells right, like you can actually smell the fish sauce in there!" And he was right, it was great! I don't know WHY I love foods, I just know when I do, but my husband is a great cook and is good at dissecting why something is delicious and my husband said it looked like they pan fried the eggplant before putting it in the dish and it gave it perfect texture, tender but not too mushy and said the pork was super flavorful, instead of just plopping flavorless/boiled/blanched like most Thai restaurants do.

Drunken noodles: we eat a lot of Thai in San Diego, but my husband said these were some of the best drunken noodles he'd ever have (and I agree!) The noodles seemed handmade (we can't imagine they actually are, that would be crazy! But maybe hand cut?? Not sure!) Tons of delicious basil. Really great!!

Only 3 not- perfect things to note: Parking sucks, not their fault, but just something to keep in mind. The street parking was $4 an hour--we were actually going to stay for lunch, but decided just to pick up due to that.

We ordered spicy level 10 and it really was not all that spicy! I can understand that too--some Thai restaurants in SD had to lower their heat levels because people kept ordering 8-10 and then complaining it was too hot and returning it 🙄 so, I get it, but if you're someone who eats REALLY REALLY spicy like we do, you may want to ask for a Thai 10 or for 10 extra spicy or whatever.

BIGGEST PROBLEM. THIS RESTAURANT IS IN BALTIMORE NOT SAN DIEGO 😭

Thanks to Rod Dee for a lovely pickup experience and some bomb food. If you ever move to San Diego to start a Thai restaurant there,...

Mainly ended up here because it was open late on Sunday, but it helped that the menu and everything I saw online looked promising, and it did not let me down. I at first was going to have my friend meet me to dine in, but then she had a change of plans so I had to change my order to go. They handled it well, and it was prepared pretty quickly. I got the Kao Soi Tofu and the Sweet Sticky Rice w/ Taro Custard. It was actually my first time trying both of these and I really liked them. The Kai Soi was like a dressed up yellow curry with a delicious rich and spicy sauce, which thankfully wasn't at all oily unlike some curries I've had. The pickled mustard greens were a really nice touch on this. The waitress asked if I wanted spicy or non-spicy and I went with spicy. Yes it is spicy but nothing insane. If you are averse to spicy food get the non-spicy version but don’t be afraid of the spicy if you have a moderate spicy tolerance. The sticky rice and custard was also delicious - the custard had such a nice texture and natural taro flavour, and the dessert wasn't too sweet or heavy. The portions were very filling but I was starving so I finished every last bite. Even in the takeout packaging, the presentation was really nice! Very fair prices for the size and quality of food! I also like the vibe of the restaurant, it's nothing fancy but the wooden walls make it feel cozy - would've loved to dine in and relax there...

Although I have reviewed this restaurant, I just had to delete my old one and give them a 5 star rating. If I could, I'd give them 10 stars for the delicious and authentic food and the wonderful service they provide. I order from this restaurant so often, the owner knows my order when he sees my name and order. That definitely says something about the owner. He is really involved in the restaurant in every aspect. And the staff are awesome and are great with customer service. I had a horrible experience with my Door Dash delivery tonight and the restaurant made sure that the 2nd attempt at delivery was successful. That to me tells me what a superb job they do and that they do care. I do recommend if you order from here, please please I beg don't use Door Dash. They have been known to steal the food on a number of occasions. Order online through Rod Dee Thai's website, or use a different delivery service. Thank you Rod Dee Thai and Boy for reminding me there are good people out there. Oh and order the Ka Pow with chicken, Thai tea, and pretty much anything on the menu. . It's mouth...
