Just received my uber eats order and they sent burnt rolls with my kids spaghetti

Really enjoyed the food. The desserts were unique.

Diner Review №4

Great food , reasonable prices, welcoming interior, friendly and prompt service.
Great place for Thai food in Baltimore

Diner Review №5

The worst excuse for Pad Thai! I understand that when you order take out the quality of the food suffers a little - it’s not as hot, it’s a bit wilted etc. All that not withstanding, this pad Thai was, literally, a BRICK of gummy, bland, overcooked noodles, a small handful of bean sprouts and three strips of unseasoned, dry, tough chicken. There was a pile of peanut bits and a big pile of chili flakes on top, not mixed in. The noodles were such a gummy solid mass that I couldn’t even mix in the toppings. Such a huge disappointment as it’s such a basic, simple dish - it just shows a sloppiness and laziness coming from the kitchen. It’s a shame because I’ve had a couple good meals at Bodhi Tree but I won’t be going back.

Bodhi Thai has really tasteful furnishings, but the food doesn't have as much spice + is sweeter than I'd want. If you like Thai that's gentler in heat, you won't be disappointed though.

I’ve been a frequent visitor to this location. Today is the first time that, with only a party of 2, we’ve been charged a 20% service fee. The lady claimed that “yes, 20% on regular days.” I understand that restaurants are understaffed, but I do not see any notice of this fee anywhere.

Diner Review №10

Speaking strictly about the quality of food, it was disappointing. The Pad See Ew was flavorless, the Pad Thai was dry and bland. There was some heat to it, but that was it. We even gave it another shot because of how nice the restaurant it, thinking maybe the first experience was just due to a an off day, but sadly, the second and third times, the food was not great either. I've tried other better Thai places.

Diner Review №11

Excellent

Whether you choose the immaculately decorated indoor dining or the beautiful back patio, you're in for a good time at Bodhi. Not only is this maybe the most romantic restaurant in fed hill, it's also the best Thai food you can get. You're going to want to start your night with their refreshing Thai iced tea and don't skip the appetizers! Get yourself a build-your-own curry or noodle dish for your main get ready to enjoy the best Thai food Baltimore has to offer.

Diner Review №14

The Tom Yum soup is amazing. Top of the list in comparison to others in the city.

Diner Review №15

Incredibly delicious food! We had the Veggie Drunken Noodles and a house special called "Lili's Noodles" consisting of egg noodles, chili paste, fried tofu, bean sprouts, red onion, and cilantro. The rice noodles in the Drunken Noodle were so fresh and soft I could cry.

Diner Review №16

Party of five. Had a great experience. All disheds ordered were excellent. Relaxing atmosphere. Will be back to explore some more.

Diner Review №17

Sit on the patio, plenty of gluten free options, just ask, try the Japanese eggplant salad, yum! Very nice people

Diner Review №18

Update - I went back and enjoyed the food and ambiance.
Staff was nice too. I went at a weird time between lunch and dinner. There were a bit of flies on my glassware and plates. I had to get my own takeout box, tho I was the only table. Place is nice though, and crowded at nite.

Review from before -- Weirdest experience here. I was visiting from New York City, took the bus to the resto from my hotel, waited until 4pm outside in the heat, as they close in the middle of the day before dinner. They never opened, and no one picked up the phone after an hour of trying. Nothing on its website or social media. I even DM'ed them. Never had such an experience. I would not have tried so long, but my mom wanted to try the place, and we'd taken so long to get there. Wasted hours.

Diner Review №20

Best Thai in the city!! I can’t order yellow curry anywhere else because it never lives up to this place

Diner Review №21

Came there from New York, and probably was the worst restaurant I ever visited in my entire life. I went there with my family, and everything was going well so far until the food came out. Absolutely absolutely absolutely disgusting, and the kitchen is in nasty condition as well. The teriyaki is super salty and I worry for any heart patients. The waitresses will literally say "would you like anything else?" While holding the check behind their backs and as soon as we say "no"... boom... they slam the check on the table and say "have a great day". Like... bro... we aren't even done and what if we wanna order more?. I think more politeness and respect would be appreciated if it is included in the training.

Diner Review №22

Great local restaurant in Fed Hill. Food has always been great and servers are so friendly! Good for takeout or eating in-house! I definitely recommend the spring rolls

Diner Review №23

I am a Pud See Ew fanatic. I have to say theres was as good as any i have had. Loved it. I put a little of the chili oil and powder on it with the tofu. Yum!!

Diner Review №24

The Rockfish may be the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Went in alone yesterday and sat at the bar. The staff are always awesome, the food is excellent. Just 5 stars all around.

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

Absolutely delicious

Diner Review №27

Ordered Kra Prow. Arrived fast. All I can taste is salt. Supposed to be medium spicy, but its barely spicy. Ordered extra shrimp but did not get it. Portion was very meager. Overall very disappointing. My wife got drunken noodle chicken, which she enjoyed, but I found it bland.

Diner Review №28

I am writing to share my recent experience at your restaurant, which unfortunately left me feeling quite disappointed. While the ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant and the service provided by the waitress was friendly, the quality of the food I received did not meet my expectations.

I had ordered the barbecue chicken and rice from your menu, and I regret to inform you that the chicken was served raw, accompanied by a side of barbecue sauce with Parmesan cheese, which was not listed on the menu. Furthermore, the rice was presented in a container, and upon pouring it onto the plate, I discovered that it had been stuck to a plastic bag, causing some of the plastic to rip off and mix with the rice.

Despite bringing this issue to the attention of the waitress, I decided to give another dish a try and ordered the fried duck with sticky rice. Unfortunately, the fried duck was not fully cooked and the marinade accompanying the sticky rice did not complement the dish well.

I must express my deep disappointment with the overall dining experience at your establishment. Regrettably, I will not be returning to dine at your restaurant in the future. I feel compelled to advise others to exercise caution when ordering the barbecue chicken and rice from your menu, based on my personal experience tonight.

I believe that constructive feedback is valuable for any business's growth and improvement, and I trust that you will take this feedback into consideration to enhance the quality of your offerings in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my experience. I sincerely hope that this feedback will be beneficial in maintaining the high standards that patrons expect from your esteemed restaurant.

Diner Review №31

Delicious entrées served in a handsomely quiet ambience!

Diner Review №32

Food was a hit or miss. The first few times it was really good. I consistently ordered from here, however the last two times my food were not up to expectation for what I paid for. The box came half empty with 3 shrimps. They shouldn’t be charging what they do. Disappointed. This drunken noodle was underwhelming.

Diner Review №33

We ordered mushroom drunken noodles, basil fried rice, Rama, and fried eggplant appetizer.
Food tasted amazingly good and was authentic. The highlight was the drunken noodles.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

The interior of this restaurant is beautiful. It’s a warm and magical atmosphere with great lighting, involvement of plants and unique fixtures. They have a nice courtyard in the back with a patio and lots of plants. The service was kind and well timed. The food was also delicious. The Tom yum fried rice was a particularly nice twist!

The green curry with tofu was tofuntastic. Here’s my empty bowl.

Diner Review №41

Gorgeous atmosphere/ambiance and very kind staff. This is a wonderful place for a date or nice dinner out. The food is authentic and presented nicely, and the thai tea is wonderful.

Diner Review №42

I have been to many Thai restaurants across several states, and this still is the best Thai restaurant! 😋

Diner Review №43

The decor is very Thailand with a garden courtyard, vines, and leaves hanging all around - and yet they play Kenny Chesney playlist?!
Service slow - had to go find my server for a second glass of wine (first one was long empty).
Food mediocre - I get better more tasty Pad Thai almost anywhere else.
Disappointing.

Diner Review №45

Don't order online with them through UBER Eats. I realized I made the order for the wrong restaurant at the wrong location and my order was still being processed. Uber Eats still charged me $39 fee, saying they already received the order and were prepping the food. I canceled the order before the transaction was complete. How would they have received my transaction and started prepping the food when I canceled it during the transaction??

Diner Review №46

A favorite spot in Fed Hill and one of the best Thai restaurants in town.

Diner Review №47

Out of a couple good items I went in for (early dinner on a weeknight) but everything I got was delicious and they have great service

Diner Review №48

We eat here regularly- like at least twice a month. EVERY time we order/visit the BEST experience and food. The pineapple fried rice and pad Thai are out of this world. Authentic, fresh, I’ve never had better to be honest. Truly our fav comfort food spot.

Diner Review №49

We loved our experience here. The staff was so kind and helpful and the food and ambience are amazing!!! I would recommend if you want to take someone to a place that isn’t too expensive but you want to wow them!

Diner Review №51

Went to this place for a group lunch. Nice cozy place for Thai food. This place also has outdoor seating and is ideal for smaller groups. Nice atmosphere, with a good choice of Thai food. Service is quick although drinks come in a little late relatively. But overall a very good place for tasty food and a decent choice of desserts to pick from.
Definitely recommend this place if you live in MD!

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

My wife and I had a great experience here! Everything was so tasty and the ambiance is genuinely so perfect for a date night. They can do a lot of their dishes gluten free without sacrificing taste at all. The drunken noodles are to die for!

Diner Review №54

Maybe Thai food isn’t for me. it taste like they dump a ton of sugar on top of the food. I had spice & could still taste it. Too sweet

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

I have seen manager insulting a customer over the tip issue. This is insane, i was dining and he was too loud uttering the tip amount to that customer. This is not a right way to treat the customer. Have some respect man and provide the respectful service to all the races. Treat all the races with dignity.

Diner Review №57

Been here today (2/15) ; while I appreciate that they have acknowledged and served my order soon because of the closing time; I was particularly startled the way the manager treated me for giving 1.84$ tip. He comes back with a rude face and says loudly ‘did u give 1.84$ tip, tips are not necessary and you can keep it with you’ (I have done an online payment and to round figure my payment I made 1.84$ and it was not intentional). He was sharing it with the other associate and they were coming from the kitchen to see us(which is real embarrassing). I am a person who always give tips everywhere I go, I know that tips are completely optional but nobody can or have the right to do this a customer ! Change your attitude, have some work ethics

Diner Review №58

Thai restaurants are a dime a dozen but not Bodhi. Best Thai food you'll ever eat...we particularly love the Drunken Noodles, the Lilly's Noodles, and the Whole Rockfish. Ambience, service, and friendliest is 5 star! Eat here!

Lunch. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Diner Review №62

We ordered for take away but thought the atmosphere was so cool we are going to try to go in next week. The food was fantastic- the best Thai I've had in a very long time. We went with the Pad Thai, the curry puffs, and the garlic chicken all at medium spice. Medium spice was great for us because it wasn't really spicy but still had great flavor. Everything was delicious and I'm so excited to have the left overs for lunch. We will be coming here a lot!

Diner Review №63

My favorite Thai restaurant in Baltimore since Lemon Grass is no longer near me. The menu and staff never disappoint me.

Diner Review №64

Some of the worst service I’ve ever had. Had to flag the waiter to take our order twice and was given no plates or utensils. Food was decent but service ruined it. Not to mention a 20% tip was automatically included. Will not return.

Diner Review №65

Great food with amazing dining experience

Diner Review №66

Excellent service and food. The rockfish was delicious. Best Thai restaurant in Baltimore. I’ll come back to try other menu items

Diner Review №67

One of the better thai restaurants in the baltimore area. I have visited many times and the food has been consistently good.

The place is tiny and can feel a little cramped / small. They have an outdoor patio in the back which is nice when the weather permits. The severs are friendly but more often than not overwhelmed. So the service tends to be slow.

Prices are also on the higher end for the portion size. I would go back, but not too often.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

Lived in Thailand for over a year and it is the best Thai Food in all of Baltimore. Everything is outstanding, if you haven't been you are missing out. Hands down the most authentic Thai Cuisine compared to anywhere else.

Diner Review №70

I have had Bodhi corner in Hampden before and have always enjoyed it. I recently tried Bodhi Fed hill for the first time. It was pretty good and I will definitely be eating here again but there were a couple things that prevent me from giving 5 stars.

I got this as take out and I had the drunken noodles with tofu while my girlfriend had the pad see ew with tofu. My drunken noodle were pretty good although I thought they were a little heavy on the sauce. I also think they could’ve benefited from more basil. My girlfriends pad see ew was spicy which was odd as it is not supposed to be a spicy dish but after trying both, it was definitely as spicy as my drunken noodles. It also didn’t have much broccoli or egg but there was cabbage which I’m not used to in pad see ew. Not sure what the deal was but I definitely feel like this dish kind of missed the mark. It didn’t taste bad, it just tasted much more like drunken noodles than pad see ew.

I got takeout but it looked like they had a really nice atmosphere inside. Prices were reasonable. I’m sure I will be back and honestly believe the issues with the pad see ew were just a one off.

Diner Review №71

I ordered Papaya salad and tom yum soup. Was very disappointed- papaya salad was drenched with dressing where half the salad was submerged in liquid, and there was too much sugar used in both dishes.

Diner Review №72

Our server was very kind which matched the ambiance of the place- cozy and chic. The tom kha soup was perfectly spicy, and previously I’ve had it where it’s a bit creamier but this one is slightly thinner broth. For our mains, we ordered the basil fried rice and the drunken noodle. Absolutely delicious… the noodles were the softest consistency and the spice level elevated the dish, not overpowered it! The rice was hot and crispy! I would definitely recommend you stop by and taste all the options!

Diner Review №73

My family went here for lunch yesterday (Sunday) and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant was quiet as there weren’t too many people inside (seems like many to go orders) and the waitress was very nice. They have delicious vegan options and their Thai iced tea was a favorite of ours. They were able to substitute the original half and half for us with coconut milk. We ordered the basil fried rice with vegan chicken, red curry with vegan duck, vegan crab fried rice, and vegan teriyaki chicken. The favorites were the basil fried rice, red curry, and we loved the crispy teriyaki chicken. It was so good that we asked about ways for us to get it delivered in the future. I would definitely suggest you go here to get this amazing experience too.

Diner Review №74

Absolutely place to go to. Food is delicious!
I was so hungry and I started my food right away, forgot to take a picture of it😅

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

Far above average Thai food. Very sweet service and great intimate vibe.

Must get: curry puffs

Diner Review №77

I have been here many times over the past several years. It is easily the best Thai option in downtown Baltimore. They have so many vegan and vegetarian options, and in particular, their mock chicken is outstanding. I also really enjoy the crab fried rice, the drunken noodles, and their green curry. However, food quality and portion size is not the same between carryout and dine in. Dine in is definitely the way to go. You can walk in without a reservation. There is usually not a wait for a table. Also, the service is pretty hit or miss. Recently, in 2023, the service has been the worst it has ever been. In all my time coming here, I have had great service experiences, and I have also had downright horrible experiences (forgetting part of the order and then charging our card $114 when the total was $70). Wait time is also inconsistent. Sometimes you get your food within minutes and sometimes it takes 30+ minutes, which may depend on how many takeout orders they have. Nonetheless, it’s a convenient and relatively reliable option.

Diner Review №78

This is the best Thai food in Baltimore without a doubt. I’ve ordered here numerous times for dine in and carry out & both options are excellent. Great flavor & very consistent. Staff is very kind and atmosphere is great. Also they use quality ingredients which I really appreciate. Thanks for being such a great food spot in charm city! Try this place out.

Diner Review №79

**intense flavors, pretty decor. Service a bit subpar, weird temperatures

I’ve been here twice. I got a green curry the first time and a red curry the second. Both times, it was very flavorful! Beware though, this is one of the sweetest curries I’ve tasted. It’s served with purple rice.

I also got a larb to start and it was very salty, which I suppose is typical of this dish. It did taste very fresh!

My friend got the Thai tea sake drink and it was ok. Definitely small for the price and I didn’t love the flavors.

The temperatures are kinda messy. The first time I came, it was a cool day, but they were blasting AC right into our faces. The next time it was warmer outside, but the heating was turned so high that I was sweating. I’m hoping this is only because they are still figuring out the seasonal transition.

Service is also a bit slow. Takes a while to be noticed even when there are not that many patrons.

Diner Review №80

Unfortunately, Bodhi has seemingly gone downhill as of late. It used to be my top choice for Thai in Baltimore but that’s no longer the case. We were really excited when Bodhi first came to Fed Hill some years ago, so it’s disappointing to see the changes.

Shrinkflation has hit hard as portion sizes are now unacceptably small for the price. I totally understand that prices have gone up post COVID across the board. However, it seems that at Bodhi prices went up on entrees by a few dollars while the amount of food you receive is now 1/3.

The food still tastes good. Just be prepared to have to order at least 3 things per person if they’re hungry. My black plastic carry out box was 1/4 full with the entree’s meat and veggies. I probably could have finished it in a handful of bites, easily. If there was not much meat but at least a decent amount of veggies I might have looked the other way. But there was very little of either.

Diner Review №81

Portion too small 3-5 bites

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

We discovered this place by pure accident. However, the food impressed me. The best fried rice I’ve ever had! Truly recommend trying Tom Yum fried rice from chefs specials. Blew me away. Also Khari Soi noodles, simply superb dish. The food is quite light and elevated comparing your tradition Thai. The vibe was cozy and warm, love this place!

Diner Review №84

Best Thai Food in Baltimore. Authentic. Well presented plating. Delicious flavors. Generous portions. Friendly service. Dark and moody interior is serene and conducive to good conversation. Back Patio is pleasant. Would highly recommend. Pad Thai, Red Curry, Panang Curry, and Papaya Salad are all on-point!

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Bodhi was AMAZING! I love how intimate the setting is. My husband took me for lunch on a Tuesday and it was very quiet. We were the only ones there. I had a Mango Margarita, vegan crab cake fried rice, and spring rolls. OMG!!! I WILL be back. So 😎

Diner Review №87

My experience at Bodhi Thai was absolutely amazing! The food is delicious, authentic to what I have had in Asia, and comes in a nice portion. Will definitely return!

Diner Review №88

The best Thai food I’ve ever had! I had the pad see ew with chicken, and my sister had the pad Thai (gluten free). We were so impressed how gluten free friendly the restaurant is. This is our new go-to Thai restaurant!

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

Bodhi is my personal favorite Thai spot in Federal hill. I’ve tried a little of everything from their menu. There’s a lot of competition for Thai food in Baltimore but I think the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew (with beef) really stand out at this place!

Diner Review №91

Everything we was good!

Diner Review №92

Ordered the Pad Thai and spring rolls. The pad Thai was overly sweet and tasteless. The spring rolls were also tasteless, no flavor. Waste of $30.

Diner Review №93

Excellent drunken noodles

Diner Review №94

Will go again. We were traveling with our two large dogs and they made us feel very welcome sitting in the shaded backyard outdoor dining area. Wonderful food and staff. Very pleased. Plenty of easy street parking nearby.

Diner Review №95

Their basel fried rice and drunken noodle are really good options for vegetarian.

Diner Review №96

We had a LOVELY time here! Went on a cute little date and we were CRAVING something fresh and with lots of flavor. A friend of mine that lives and loves the city said Bodhi has the BEST pad thai (what my date wanted) in the city... so we made our way down using the free purple bus (charm city circulator). The restaurant was BUSY despite it being very late on a rainy night (which was a great sign that the food is good!)

WOW! My friend was right, the pad thai was fantastic. Noodles were still bouncy and chewy, veggies were FRESH and cooked well, and the protein was flavorful. Perfectly tangy, full of umami, and really satisfying.

We got several appetizers which were also fantastic. All seafood was cooked to perfect levels, not over or under, so they remained plump, juicy, and full of flavor. Our server was also working quickly to ensure we had ample water and that our food was good. Again, it was SO BUSY but the staff was handling the crowd like champs.

I am excited to order from them again!

Diner Review №97

Pet friendly restaurant with the cute patio in back. Food was really good. We all got something we typically don’t get and throughly enjoyed the meal!

Diner Review №103

This is such a lovely place to eat. The food is fantastic and the dining room is pristine. Its a small, quiet place and I'm always happy with what I order. The Pad See Ew is the best I've had anywhere around here.

The takeout doesn't do it justice, so I highly recommend eating in and eating Thai food if possible.

Diner Review №104

This is the definition of a hidden gem. Incredible and amazing dinner spot. I am so happy that we got to eat here tonight on their charming and nature-inspired patio.

Highlights of the dinner were the eggplant appetizer, the sweet corn soup, and the classic dishes this place nails:
- drunken noodles
- pad Thai
They’re both incredible. The tofu topping is perfect, and tonight I opted for the crispy pork belly.

The restaurant also has amazing ambience and attentive service from the staff.

Diner Review №105

Hampden location is way better. I ordered drunken noodles for delivery and it was missing a ton of flavor that the other location has. I'll be going to the Hampden one from now on.

Diner Review №106

This place is the bomb when it comes to quality of the food! The different sauces they use are out of this world, full of flavor and even the presentation of the dishes is beautiful. It is a small place though, but comfortable and enjoyable. The curry is not super spicy, pretty mild I would say compared to the Indian curry. Nevertheless, fabulous and the mussels are fantastic! I wish this place could be walking distance from my home😁

Diner Review №107

I had 4 rounds of sake 🍶 no regrets Great good and service!

Diner Review №108

Nah, this place ain’t it. There were eight of us and all of the dishes were off somehow.

-Drunken noodles were crazy oily
-Crab fried rice had barely any crab, just unseasoned eggs
-Red curry was dessert sweet
-Thai Iced Tea was so sweet that your teeth will hurt on the spot
-Shrimp rolls had nothing but some barely cooked shrimp in them (no veggies or other fillings)

The interior was nice, but for the price, this spot wasn’t worth it for us.

Diner Review №109

They did their best, but everything is mid

The most delicious Thai food in Maryland. Their drunken noodles, Lilly's noodles and Terry's Tom Fried rice are so addictive!

Really good Thai food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. As with any restaurant, be careful when ordering spicy dishes if you can't handle the heat. Would be a nice date restaurant, I think. Highly recommended.

Outstanding food, atmosphere, and service. Didnt think much of it at first. Just picked the restaurant because it was close by and have vegan options. I am extremely happy with the food I got. Cheap for the quality too.

Bodhi is a staple Thai restaurant that I will continue to order from as long as I live in Baltimore. The food is always fresh and very flavorful. The drunken noodle and basil fried rice are my two favorite dishes here. Bodhi also has seasonal dishes that do not disappoint!

Diner Review №136

Fantastic gem in the federal hill area. The decor is classy but reflects the Bodhi tree aspect in every space - starting from the banyan leaves hanging to the chandelier. It was super full even on a weekday evening. Sadly they had no Thai beer but hopefully next time. The food options are great and the taste is amazing. Very good vegan options. The only drawback was the rice amount with the curry was on the meagre side. Our server Nikki was very efficient, prompt and always with a welcoming smile. She handles more than 8 tables all by herself and the patience and grace with which she went about her work is admirable. Will definitely recommend!

Diner Review №137

Two things:
1) all the water bottles have mildew or something growing everywhere.

2) we made it very clear that we had a shrimp allergy. Nothing that comes into contact with shrimp can touch our food. This includes deep fried things, if they put everything in the same frying oil. Both of the dishes for our guest with the allergy had to be sent back because they came out with deep fried things added or were themselves deep fried. The runners understood the cross contamination issue but the waiter did not.

Diner Review №138

Crispy rockfish unlike anything I’ve had before. You better like ginger, lime, and cilantro, because they’re prevalent. If you do, you’re in for a treat. Parang curry exceptional, as were the dumplings. Beautiful urban space, tucked far enough into the bowels of South Baltimore to lend some real authenticity. Best to park away and walk or Uber. Street parking is tough.most definitely worth a visit if you love Thai. Real deal.

Diner Review №139

I love this place! The drunken noodles are perfection as are the spring rolls. Support your local amazing businesses!

Diner Review №140

We love this place!!! Have tried a lot of different things on the menu and each one absolutely slaps. We get take out a lot but sitting inside is a VIBE. Got basil mussels tonight as an app and they SUPER exceeded expectations and were soooo tasty!
Highly recommend if you’re in the area!!!

Diner Review №141

This was the place that I made the choice that I was going to try tom yum, I made the decision to try the soup before the restaurant and this looked like a quality place. Upon getting there the atmosphere the decoration the seats the silverware the presentation everything was wonderful Immaculate and frankly bougie but in the best way. The outdoor patio is such a beautiful little hidden space if it's open and there's space I highly recommend it their food is absolutely amazing being completely new to Thai food it was probably one of my best experiences with a new food style restaurant. The Thai tea was amazing. The wait staff and the employees are all very courteous and ready to assist you with anything. I believe this is a family-owned restaurant what you meant to me makes it that much better. Highly recommend if you're reading this thinking if you should go you should. You won't regret it

Diner Review №142

Long wait time even with reservations. Food took an hour to come out after we were seated. Food came over cooked. Atmosphere was nice.

Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. So many vegetarian and vegan options!
For an appetizer, I got the basil summer rolls, and the two dipping sauces it comes with are EXPLOSIONS of flavor! Highly recommend.
I also got the Basil fried rice with mock duck, and it was so good, probably the best fried rice I’ve ever had. Lots of flavor and not too spicy. That mock duck had me questioning if it was real or not, it was very “meaty.” Really good!!
For dessert, I got some classic sticky rice and mango, and it was so warm, the mango was hella good. And it’s hard finding good mango in the winter, and in the U.S. too.
5/5 Amazing food, will definitely be back.

Fantastic food (my vegan husband and carnivore BIL both adored their meals), lovely space and ambiance, cozy and friendly but light enough to read menus and quiet enough to talk, and the service was stellar. Will come again soon!

This was our first time dining at Bodhi. The parking sucks, so you gotta pick the right time to slide into this place, unless you live within walking distance. Overall, I have 0 complaints. The food was excellent. The ambiance was excellent. And our waiter, Ben, was excellent. The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. This is the first time in a long time that I finished my entire meal and didn’t have leftovers. Sometimes when you go to a restaurant an hour before closing, the service and food are some mid, but not here. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this place and will be returning. Hopefully next time we can dine on the patio.

Favorite Thai place in Baltimore. Amazing flavors and lots of vegetarian options!

Diner Review №154

Our server was AMAZING! She was kind, attentive, and very willing to help.

Out appetizer was the vegan drumsticks. I’d have to say I’m impressed with them. They tasted well. Although they could be more flavorful, the dipping sauce assisted with this.

I ordered the vegan chicken teriyaki. I will say upon delivery, the meal presented was not my expectation of the dish. The presentation was nice. The teriyaki sauce really pulled this dusted together! I would say that price to portion ratio is lacking.

My partner loved the curry. He stated it had the right amount of spice and it was a nice portion.

Drinks aren’t pictured, but DEFINITELY give the martinis a try!

Overall, a 3.5. I’d visit again due to the service, options, and ambience of the place. The inside is beautiful!

Taste was great for the Drunken Noodle but portion was small, box wasn’t even full.

Diner Review №156

The flavors are great but why did I just paid for Panang Curry SOUP with only a few pieces of meat 😂😭 I ordered this for the second time and it’s definitely the way they choose to serve it.

Food is reasonably priced and cozy patio in the back when the weather is nice. Lots of options for entrees and appetizers.

Diner Review №171

Nice selection of delicious vegetarian dishes.

Diner Review №172

Picked up food and they didn’t give me all the food. Skimpy on rice. Gave us one small container of rice for every two meals. Ordered curry chicken with broccoli and bell peppers. Got one small slice of pepper and three broccoli. Pork was tough. Extremely disappointed

Diner Review №173

I went with a large group of friends. We sat outside on the patio , shared appetizers, entrees, and wine. All of the food was fabulous!!! Our server was awesome! I can’t wait to come here again. 5 stars is not enough!!

Diner Review №174

This place is amazing for Thai food
We ordered spring rolls, summer basil rolls, basil fried rice and pad Thai noodles
I loved the appetizers more than the entree✨
I am looking forward to visit this place again just for the vegetarian appetizers😍

Diner Review №175

Just ordered the pad Thai to go, it’s horrible

Diner Review №176

Highly recommend this place. I had the drunken noodles and they were amazing, best I've ever had.

Diner Review №177

Food is fine. Perhaps I’m just picky, but they seem to be lacking something. The drunken noodles, for example, there is never any Thai basil, only one small piece of tomato and hardly any protein.

Idk. I order from here because it’s close by but I’m never completely satisfied.

Extremely gourmet thai food! They have variety of amazing selections, including basil summer roll, curry puff, pineapple fried rice, etc. They also have plenty of vegan options too. My favorite was mock duck on fried rice :)

Diner Review №183

I highly recommend the summer basil rolls

Diner Review №184

Grandma can cook for sure!!!! We got shrimp roll, curry puff, basil mussel, Terry fried rice with pork and seafood, and lilys egg noodle with seafood and pork. The appetizer was crispy and delicious. Especially our main dish, all the flavor was there. If you like Tom yum soup you will like Terry fried rice! Based on my experience for carry out. Their food is one of the best Thai food in Baltimore. I been to others and honestly I got a few spot I go to. Also decoration in this restaurant is very high end! Server are friendly and accommodating.

Authentic and classy Thai place.

Diner Review №186

I ordered a meal in the evening via Uber eats and got two entrees, both with veggies since I do not eat meat. I was not able to go back to the store in the evening to get it fixed so I called this morning to request them to provide the meal for the correct order. The Asian man who answered the phone was extremely rude and verbally attacking me. He first asked my info to confirm that I made an order. Next he said “so what’s wrong” to which I responded that my order had meat in it and so I could not eat it. He proceeded to ask me what kind of meat and I said I had no idea. So he started saying things like if you don’t know what meat how do you know it’s not vegetarian. I said it didn’t look like vegetables that’s for sure. Then he said so why are you calling in the morning if you got the food at night. To which I said I had plans after and couldn’t make it to the store in the evening. Then he said do you have a picture of the incorrect order. And I said no I was really frustrated I had to throw it away because I don’t eat meat. Then he started yelling on the phone and would not offer to fix the mess up that THEY made. I am so upset with this encounter. I used to order from here at least once a week, now I will never go back. I’ve never had such a bad experience at a restaurant before.

One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to in a while! The interior of the restaurant is very cute and cozy and the food is just amazing! My favorite dishes are: papaya salad (app), drunken noodles or basil fried rice (entrees), and mango sticky rice or the coconut ice cream and sticky rice (dessert). Any of the fried rice or noodle entrees are particularly very good! It’s my second time here and I can’t wait to come back again :) The service is also great and very friendly staff

Really flavorful food. I’ve ordered delivery before but my first experience dining in was excellent. Try the red curry and the sake mojitos!

Diner Review №190

Excellent every single time.

Diner Review №191

The curry has a good flavor BUT we had dried rice parts, which I think was not made the same day and really hard and dried out. Also there was a huge long black hair in the rice which was very unappetizing for me…I won’t go back!

Diner Review №192

Really good food and great service. Love the drunken noodles and spring rolls!

Diner Review №193

Bodhi is my go-to Thai place in Fed Hill! It’s one of the only places I recommend to people in the neighborhood. I usually get the chive dumplings, Thai iced tea, and one of the noodle bowls. The broth in the teow noodle soup specifically is incredibly flavorful. Most of their proteins are pretty mild, and don’t change the dish much. Their back patio is cute for dining outside during the summer as well.

the staff here is amazing!!! so friendly, even on a super busy night.

Diner Review №197

Wow this place was great! The food was so good. Everything we ordered was delicious and I look forward to coming back here. Thing we tried and would recommend: fried eggplant, chive wontons, green curry with pork belly, and pad eggplant. Can you tell I like eggplant? 😂

Diner Review №198

The decor is beautiful, sadly the patio wasn't open when we went but based on pictures of it we were drawn to check it out, but either way the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The front bathroom was tiny, but quant. I was sad that the food was not as spicy as I had hoped, but it was very flavorful. I highly recommend going if you are in the area. The food and atmosphere are on point. I'll visit again next time I'm in maryland!

I don't know how they have a 4.7 on google map reviews but I just ordered chicken pad Thai and a salad from grub hub and my pad Thai was horrible. It was dry, flavorless and there was hardly any chicken/bean sprouts/green onion . My salad was ok until I found a hair in it😡 basically my worst Thai food experience in Baltimore and I’m very disappointed.
