Thai At Laurel — Restaurant in Laurel

Thai at Laurel is honestly one of the best restaurants in the Laurel vicinity. We don't have a ton of great authentic East or Southeast Asian restaurants in this area compared to some other parts of the DC suburbs like Rockville and Wheaton, but thankfully Thai at Laurel makes up for it somewhat by being a consistent delight. I order from here pretty much weekly and with good reason: there's a great variety of different dishes to keep things interesting and the quality is always worth what you pay for. They have almost never made a mistake with my food which is actually quite surprising given how often I order from them while I feel like a lot of other restaurants have a lot higher counts of mistakes.

There are quite a number of food options available at Thai at Laurel. Most entrees you can pick your choice of protein including chicken, pork, steak, tofu, and some seafood options (or opt for just vegetables). You can also pick spice levels and they definitely deliver the spice! Even as someone who very much loves spicy food, I don't think I've been tempted to go above "spicy" to their "Thai spicy" level. They also offer brown rice for a small upcharge, helpful for people like me who might want more fiber in their diets.

Some of my favorite dishes have included their Thai at Pad Thai which is a delicious variety of the classic Pad Thai (this one featuring roasted pork, Chinese broccoli, and a spicy sweet sauce), as well as various Thai classics such as green curry, drunken noodle, Pad Si Ew, and their spicy eggplant stir-fry. I will say that I do think that the Thai iced tea and bubble tea drinks are a little more expensive than I think they should be for what you get, but I still enjoy them nonetheless.

To top things off, you can order directly from their website and get delivery or takeout without having to pay extra for some company like Doordash or Grubhub to get its own cut. I always appreciate that kind of option and their direct delivery is often way sooner than I expect. I can’t speak to their dine-in experience but their delivery is definitely 5...

Thai at Laurel just opened up this past Tuesday and I have been waiting for some Thai food in the Laurel area! There is really no solid Thai joint anywhere; you'd normally have to go to Columbia or College Park/Beltsville. Thankfully, Thai at Laurel did not disappoint.

The restaurant itself is really nice, with great color schemes, an upscale yet laid-back ambiance, and nice seating. The blue leather backs and the mirrored wall give it a nice cozy feeling. There is a decent bar as well. Service was great as well with attentive servers.

My friend and I ordered the following: red curry with chicken, green curry with chicken and pineapple, a tray of spices, and the golden banana dessert. Each curry had a unique, yet distinctively Thai taste and the meat was perfectly cooked. Though the green curry does not come with pineapple, you can ask to have it added (do it!). The tray of spices was great as well and they really complemented the curry. Each curry also came with white rice. We ordered the food "spicy" and it was definitely spicy; the dessert helped cool things off. The banana is fried in a crispy batter and served with a honey drizzle and coconut chocolate ice cream (delicious!). Portions are also plentiful!

The reason for a 4-star rating versus a full 5 is that there were 2 hairs in my green curry which were certainly not mine. A minor issue,...

I don't recommend eating here if you want authentic Thai Food The service and staff is okay but it could be better most Thai Restaurants knows how too back off the Spiciness on food so you can actually taste the food if the food is not too spicy it's way too sweet (i thought i was eating a whole jar of honey sugar and chocolate combined at one point) and they actually bring out way too hot they don't let the food cool down first and then bring out I dam neared burnt my tongue eating beef fried rice seems like the chef just started learning how too cook and my biggest and This is my biggest complaint and I noticed this in every Thai restaurant that I have eaten Thai Food at bad enough I can not enjoy the food (seems more like Americanized Thai Food) Im Cambodian mixed with a little bit of Thai and Laos so it when comes too food Khmer Thai and Laos Food I look for Authentic Taste and as far as the music goes I have not a heard any Thai Restaurant play Any Thailand Music they always play American music ( I can listen too American Music in my own house car truck )I walk into a Vietnamese Restaurant they Play Vietnam music I walk into a Chinese Restaurant they play Chinese music I walk into a Spanish Restaurant they play Spanish Music etc....,,,, it could be a lot better this place taste more like food you can make at home on your own and it will...
