Pama Thai — Restaurant in Rockville

The cuisine is exceptional. It’s obvious that they use quality ingredients to prepare these well refined culinary treats.

The chefs really know how to properly prepare the proteins perfectly. I often order the the chicken satay appetizer whenever I go as a gauge to the quality of the rest of the food. The Chicken was very tender, juicy and perfectly cooked. The peanut sauce and cucumber dressing were also very tasty and well balanced and the meat actually tasted delicious without any dipping sauce. If it were overcooked and dry I would have left without ordering anything else. I don’t normally like pad Thai noodles from the majority of Thai restaurants in my area but Pama Thai has me liking the dish again.

If you love Thai food then you should really give this place a try. The restaurant is very cute inside and is decorated with beautiful wood carvings and very tastefully done. Nothing gaudy like many Asian restaurants tend to do and many times overdo it. The atmosphere is relaxing and quiet with low level background music. I would personally not bring kids here unless they are well behaved. I did not see any high chairs.

It seems i forget to mention that the prices are very reasonable and the portions are quite generous. For under $40 (less tip) two people can dine on one appetizer and one entree and may even have some left over; that’s if you’re not a big eaters. They don’t have a liquor license yet but are scheduled to have hearing in January. The food is good enough that not having alcohol on the menu is not a deal breaker at all and I will continue to dine there whether they get it or not.

My first taste of Thai food was in 1985 just outside Brussels Belgium in a small town called Waterloo. The food there was some of the best I have ever tasted to this day and is what set that bar for me at an early age.

Pama Thai - Authentic Thai Cuisine with a Touch of Elegance

Review: Dining at Pama Thai was a wonderful experience that truly transported me to Thailand. The peaceful ambiance and intricate decor, including the beautifully carved Buddha statue, created an atmosphere of calm and relaxation.

The service was impeccable—the waitress was extremely polite, attentive, and made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the meal.

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors. I ordered the Drunken Noodles, and they were perfectly prepared. The noodles were soft yet chewy, with a rich savory sauce that had just the right balance of spice and sweetness. The mix of chicken, shrimp, and fresh vegetables was cooked to perfection, adding layers of flavor and texture to the dish.

For dessert, I tried the mango with coconut ice cream—a refreshing and delightful treat. The sweet mango paired with the smooth, creamy ice cream was the perfect way to end the meal.

Pama Thai offers an authentic Thai experience with excellent food, polite service, and a serene ambiance. Whether you’re craving flavorful noodles or a sweet tropical dessert, this place delivers on all levels. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a taste of Thailand...

During my recent visit this restaurant, I observed several aspects of the service and food quality that are worth noting. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a server who seemed somewhat disengaged and did not provide basic information about our dining experience, such as mentioning that our server would be with us shortly.

A gentleman eventually took our drink and appetizer orders, which were fulfilled promptly. For our main courses, I ordered Pad See Ew, while my husband opted for Pad Thai. Notably, I requested two pieces of broccoli, and my husband requested no spice in his dish.

One concern I had was with the texture of the rice noodles in my Pad See Ew; they were over a half-inch thick, which was surprising and made the dish less enjoyable. After finishing our meal, we paid and left without receiving any follow-up questions about our dining experience or well wishes, such as “have a nice evening.”

Overall, the lack of attentiveness and courtesy from the staff, along with the food presentation, contributed to an unsatisfactory experience. A bit of kindness and attention to detail can significantly enhance customer satisfaction, and based on this experience, I’m unlikely to return to this...
