In the heart of downtown Silver Spring, you've found the best place for authentic Thai cuisine. Our skilled Thai chef will produce fresh, delicious, high-quality Thai food that is never cooked with MS…
Truly excellent, and very vegan/vegetarian-friendly! The food is always fresh and delicious, and on the healthier side. I love the tofu summer rolls especially, and I like that they're just greens, veggies and tofu in the middle (no noodles). We've had a number of things from here and they're always good at noticing and honoring requests to omit fish/oyster sauce for us. Highly recommend! :)

Surprised at the positive reviews. Found the pumpkin curry, red curry, pad see ew, and satay all very bland. Hard to find good Thai food in Silver Spring and we had high hopes for Kao Thai. Unfortunately this one's not worth the high price tag.

They really know what they're doing over here! De-li-cious, perfectly cooked, just oh my God fantastic amazing yummy awesome food! Yeah, healthy, too! Arrived oh-so-fresh, fast, hot, in perfect shape, with a little breathing hole for steam to leave the 5. Golden Spring Roll container. The Thai Iced Tea is great and a wonderful accompaniment to the spicier things such as Gang Pa Curry Jae -- which they made milder for me at my request, and of course it's nice when people will do that! The Thai Coconut Custard comes hot in tiny cute little ceramic plates, and is also quite delectable! I can't wait to try more things from here -- especially since they have some hard-to-find things! Highly recommended! Yay! :-D

Pre-COVID this usedto be one of the best Thai places in Maryland. Now you can skip it. Rice is overcooked; all the bright notes of basil, ginger, lemongrass, chillies are muddy and dull; meat is mostly boiled. Edible, probably healthy, but boring.

Kao Thai is so good! I've been ordering from here almost a decade now and it's always delicious. I've never once had a bad experience here and every plate I've tried has been spectacular. Mango curry, drunken noodle, and ka prow is my favorite! The food is consistently amazing and staff is always polite. They have handled COVID precautions so well and always made me feel safe for takeout. I haven't lived in the area for 3 years and yet I still consider this my go to Thai place. I was so happy to see they had a delivery option on door dash that brings their food to my neighborhood when I have a craving but can't make it over to them for takeout!
