Went during grand opening week and ordered the following:

– Thai Iced Tea and Coconut Matcha Cloud: The Thai iced tea was strong and fragrant. The coconut matcha cloud is also very flavorful and unique with coconut meat.
– Garlic Chili Wings, Corn Fritter, and Tom Kha: While the corn fritter was okay, the garlic chili wings were great; they were crispy and juicy. Tom Kha is also good, sour, rich, and a little spicy!
– Pork Crisp, Pad Kee Mao, and Ginger Branzino: The pork crisp is okay, the pork is flavorful and the sauce is sweet and spicy. The Pad Kee Mao is very generous with the meat, and overall, it is spicy and tasty. The Ginger Branzino was the star of the show! The fish was very good and crispy.
– Coconut Ice Cream and Mango with Sticky Rice: The presentation of the desserts was certainly impressive, and the flavor matched that. Very sweet way to finish our dinner.

Overall, the restaurant itself was beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The staff cared about our opinions on the food and made sure we enjoyed the dishes. We will definitely be coming back!
They are also offering a 20% discount for the first week to celebrate the grand opening.

A truly awesome brand new Thai restaurant in Gaithersburg. (Hurry to try it out this week, the 20% grand opening discount ends WED 1/22/2026.)

Both my precious and my BFF exclaimed, “We are definitely coming back to try out the rest of the menu,” which boasts some unfamiliar offerings (items I have never seen on a Thai menu) on an extensive menu yet captured on only 2 pages at very reasonable prices. The chef has an eye for beauty besides a near perfect handle on the flavors and the proprietor did not cheap out on the serving ware and utensils, all with an eye to aesthetics…though the shallow big circumference water glass should be replaced with something more classy.

We had plenty of beverage before coming, so did not try out their prominently positioned bar, manned by someone who looks like a professional bar tender which almost never happens at a mom and pop Asian restaurant, usually just a relative or poorly trained server staff. Next time.

Wow, such a wonderful addition! Very few Thai (let alone Asian) restaurants in upper Mo Co measure up. Thai Rock on Rockville Pike is a contestant but is pricier with a bit less than satisfactory qualify of service (primarily due to language barrier n illiteracy of American cultural expectation). We are not foodies but very critical of eateries when it comes to the dining out experience, esp. on the authenticity of flavors and ingredients, and the presentation.

I recently tried the pork basil, corn fritters, crispy lotus root, and the 3 ribs — everything was delicious! The pork basil was flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The corn fritters were crispy on the outside and soft inside. I especially loved the crispy lotus root — light, crunchy, and unique. The 3 ribs were tender and well-seasoned. Overall, a wonderful meal and I would definitely come back!

Picked up from here yesterday. Staff was very friendly, the inside looked nice as well. However the food simply was not great. My wife and I both got panang curry. Mine was Thai hot and hers was medium. My dish was not as spicy as I expected and hers was way too spicy. It was just a little milder than mine. Additionally, the sauce did not have very much flavor. The consistency was very thin and watery, as if they used too much water and not enough coconut milk. Overall I prefer the other Thai restaurants in the area such as Thai Express or Thai Tanium. The best I’ve found is a little further out called Thai House. I highly recommend.

I’ll probably give it another try as it’s very conveniently located for me. All the other reviews are glowing so maybe I just caught them on a bad night.

Wow! Blown away by our first visit to Hommali Thai Restaurant today! If you’re looking for fantastic Thai food with an amazing atmosphere, look no further.

We were greeted so warmly, and immediately struck by how beautiful the restaurant is. Every detail in the layout and decor has been thought out – it feels fresh, clean, and truly inviting.

Started with some refreshing beers and a Matcha Cloud drink that was pure magic ☁️ . For appetizers, the unique Lotus “chips” with a vibrant fresh mint sauce were a crispy-meets-refreshing combo. But the real showstopper? The ribs! We found out they’re sous vide first for unbelievable tenderness, then quick-fried for that perfect crisp, all coated in a delicious Thai sauce. The chef’s thoughtfulness truly shines through!

For mains, we dove into the Duck Noodle Soup (rich, flavorful broth, perfect for a chilly evening!) and the Boat Noodle Soup (just the right amount of heat and depth). Portions are generous, so come hungry! The Prik Gua – battered shrimp in a chili garlic sauce – also did not disappoint.

Seriously, HomMali clicked on all cylinders: incredible food, genuinely welcoming staff-including the owner/chef, and a gorgeous setting. We’re already planning our next trip back! Highly, highly recommend!

Delicious food, excellent service, and great ambience. I love Thai food and have eaten at HomMali Thai several times already (twice with groups) and have been quite pleased so far. Dined at the bar once and enjoyed it. Will be there again soon with family for another birthday celebration.

The restaurant is spotless—restrooms included—and boasts a beautiful modern-classic aesthetic. The staff truly stands out; they are incredibly welcoming and greeted us with genuine smiles.
​I ordered the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles). While it was well-balanced and delicious, I’d personally love a bit more basil next time to really punch up that “drunken” flavor. However, the real star was my wife’s Chicken Massaman. It was my first time trying it, and it was phenomenal. She usually has a small appetite, but she polished off the entire bowl! We finished with the Mango Sticky Rice, which was the perfect sweet ending and brought back some wonderful nostalgic memories of our early dating days.

I was entirely impressed. The ambiance, the food, the presentation, the drinks, the customer service . I don’t even normally take the time to write reviews. This place is a gem!!

Had dinner for 4 here, food was overall decent to slightly above decent. Primary reason for the review is that half of the crying tiger I ordered came out rarer than rare (some pieces being inedible).

Adding stars because the restaurant didn’t mind taking it back and cooking it more (although it came back well done, but I expect this would happen anytime a restaurant brought beef back to the kitchen).

The vibes and appearance of the restaurant overall warrant a visit, but certainly not for the crying tiger.
