I should have trusted the reviews listed. I was here from Baltimore on business and decided to look up a local Thai food spot. Upon entering, I was stared at until I announced “I’d like to eat here.” After I was seated it took at least seven min for the waiter to come back to my table even though I was the only one in the restaurant! I started with an appetizer and drink. I ordered the Sugar Plum Sangria… horrible! It tasted like straight up vodka … I’m going to finish it though ;). I ordered the shrimp in a blanket… the shrimp tastes frost bitten, no flavor at all. Finally I ordered the Tofu Panang… the flavor was nice but the consistency of the fried tofu was off, sort of chewy. This place has a TON of potential… location, diverse demographics, residential and commercial spaces nearby, layout, etc. but they’re missing a few key elements to make the experience pleasant. If the owner is interested in reaching out I’m more than happy to share my recommendations. At heart, I’m a foodie and want to see every restaurant, including this one, thrive.

Sugar Palm is very accommodating, offers delicious authentic Thai food and they are super efficient. I miss my annual Thailand trips, but luckily there are authentic Thai Restaurants in DMV too to soothe.

I live close to this spot, and it's a great place to have nearby! Top recommendation is the duck curry! The food is fantastic both take out and dine in

I would not recommend eating here. We ordered summer rolls, the ginger tofu, spicy basil fried rice and Tom yum soup. The only thing that was good was the summer rolls. The veggie spicy basil fried rice was terrible, had no flavor or spice and very few veggies. Fried rice from a takeout Chinese spot is much better. The ginger tofu was just fine. There are soo many other Thai spots in the area that are a lot better.

I ordered pad Thai and green curry. The noodles are stuck together as one mass and have no taste whatsoever. The green curry taste like watered down yellow colored milk with no flavoring. The smell of the food is nauseating. Not to mention the rice is a hard lump of absolutely no flavor.The food is inedible. I will not be ordering from here and highly encourage you to read the rest of the reviews for this business. I am sad at the $ spent here as I will be tossing this food.

Not very happy with the quality or taste. Ordered pad Thai. Had 4 shrimps on it. And the rest looked like this. No taste. Very bland.

Ok..had better dishes at other Thai places

We ordered from Uber Eats and it is terrible! This is some of the worst Thai food I've had! The Tom Yum soup looks like chicken soup with a little bit of sourness, but no spiciness. The papaya salad has no spiciness.The worst part is that they're serving chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. That is completely unacceptable! The chicken thigh texture feels like it's been frozen. Absolutely disgusting!The chicken noodles were the best thing out of our $90 order.

I enjoyed the Thai Ice Tea and Green Curry and the Salmon Curry. Just the way it should be.

The food was delicious outstanding service!!
