Had a very disapointing experience ordering from their website this evening. My vegetarian daughter ordered massaman curry with tofu. But when she picked up the order it had been made with chicken. They tried to cover their mistake by telling us massaman curry was only made with chicken. Doubly outrageous since a) you can obviously make massaman curry with any protein and b) the tofu option was right there on their website. I think we're going to order from a different restaurant next week.

Craving Thai after an hour at D&B, I found this place on Google. I got the Tom Yum soup and Drunken Noodles with chicken and they were both great. Portions are very generous!

Food was deliciously fresh and fabulously fragrant. We were seated immediately. The staff was delightfully refreshing, kind and thoughtful. Nicely appointed and clean.

Very Poor quality food. Watery gravy. Food had no taste. Paid extra for shrimp and they gave 3 shrimp with tofu mixed in. Probably worst Thai food I've had. They really need to improve the quality as the prices are not cheap.

This is one of my new favorite Thai places in Silver Spring. I have a sensitive gut and onion and garlic can be a problem for me. So it was great to see that this restaurant has options to make many of their dishes in the jae style (which avoids these vegetables). Not to mention that their Panang curry was out of this world! So glad to find a place that I can eat at without worry that is also delicious. I want to go back a few more times before I commit to giving this place five stars, but I might be able to get there!

Honestly, really wanna do this review to hopefully bring the average back up. It's a shame the couple of bad reviews brought this place down (regardless if it was from take-out or dine in orders) because that's gonna make people hesitant. Here's the thing, those reviews are valid. That said, if you want good, flavorful Thai food--be it before a show at the Fillmore or honestly if you're in the area--check out Kao. Alright, so food wise we ordered the Curry Puffs chicken, Crispy Crab Rolls, Dragon Noodles (with chicken) and Panang Curry (Jae style). First off, my partner has some sensitivities to garlic and onion, so the Jae style, which was completely new to us, was great to see and really didn't take anything away from her Panang Curry. Getting the currys Jae style does mean you'll get tofu though, as a heads up. We loved her curry, both agreeing the base was some of the best we've had and was so flavorful. The Dragon Noodles, an in house riff on Drunken Noodles, were super good too and not too spicy. They say on the menu they serve all their dishes medium spicy. I'm a bit of a baby with spice and the level they serve it at was perfect for me and consistent throughout. But if you're sensitive to that, there is a "mild" and a "no spice" option. You can also order things spicier, so i'm not sure why people had issues with the spice level. The curry puffs were also great and we enjoyed the Crispy Crab Rolls effectively being spring rolls. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Very good portion sizes too. We ended our meal with the lovely and indulgent Roti Sai Kai. Highly recommend it. Service was prompt, kind and nice. Vibes were warm and nice. My only real nitpick is that we were put at a table between a group of 5 and a group of 4 so that made things a bit loud during our dinner. As we left, i noticed the other two parties of two who'd come in after us were at the front of the same room or in the much quieter front room, which was mostly empty. Just a bit odd, that's all. I could still hear my partner well, but it seemed like the noise level by us made it hard for the male server we had to hear us. *shrugs* We'll be back for sure.
