Thai Meric Eatery & Bar

We have been going here since they opened. We have never had a bad meal or service. We Have tried other Thai restaurants, but none in Frederick come close to being as good as Thai Meric. There is no one item to recommend because everything, including their bar drinks, are phenomenal. We do recommend getting the sticky 🍚, roll it into bite sized balls and soak up the yuminess of your food!

Fantastic Thai restaurant with outstanding food and service. The flavors were fresh, authentic, and perfectly balanced, and the portions were generous. Everything we tried was delicious, from the appetizers to the main dishes. The staff were attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. This is easily one of the best Thai meals I’ve had, and I’ll definitely be back.

Fresh ingredients, amazing flavors, great presentation, polite and quick service. An overall 5 star experience. We got tom kha with chicken, kapow crob with chicken, pad kee mao with tofu. Everything was on point. Def coming back and strongly recommend! Also, staff said chicken and beef are halal

DO IT…. Just do it! Go here. My husband and I travel far and wide for great food and this honestly might be a core memory spot for me. The staff (Patrick) was SO nice and the food was just as AMAZING!! We got the duck roll and Khao Soi (chicken & ribeye).

Very great dining experience my partner took me here and we had a very delicious dinner. We had a reservation and we’re 20 minutes late and they honor honored our reservation. Very pretty interior and the cocktail drinks looked very yummy.

Mango sticky rice is awesome, so are the Pad Kee Mao and Red Curry. Spicy level 2 is enjoyable with some spiky spicy. I read the review and wondered how good it could be. It turned out to be VERY good food. Served fast too. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Stopped in to order take out, sat at the bar enjoyed an amazing Cozy Caramel Old Fashioned (amazing!) and decided to stay for dinner so I could enjoy the atmosphere and great service. 10 out of 10!

Had a wonderful meal after reading reviews on Google. Patrick was super nice, friendly, funny, and gave us lots of suggestions. Highly recommend the Fall Harvest Mule - it’s like smelling fall in a glass. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try! 😭

Som tum gai yang was decent but required everything mixed together. The chicken was grilled perfectly and came with spicy papaya salad and tamarind sauce. I didn't like the tamarind sauce but the papaya salad was by far the best part. Spicy though not good by itself, combined together it's fantastic. It's not something I would order again. I'll stick with the noodle dishes. Service was great. Refills were always coming and checked in throughout the meal.

David and I stopped by Thai American today at the recommendation of a coworker. We are always on the hunt for good Thai restaurants as it's our favorite food! As an appetizer we ordered the Duck Roll, David got the Pad Thai and I got the Khao Soi. We came on a Saturday around 1 pm and parking was easy to find, and there were plenty of seats inside available. Duck Roll: This one had me at roti. Two rolls included, about the size of a sushi hand roll. Tasty, but for $12 I might have liked less radish/carrot decor on my plate (which was most of the plate) and more rolls. Pad Thai: Normally David goes for the drunken noodle, but seeing how several other reviews mentioned it was the best pad Thai ever, we had to try! The balance of sweet and salty was on the nail with this one. Portion size is HUGE (be warned, David called it a "David size portion"). They do use skinny noodles and I prefer the typical wide pad thai noodles (but maybe the skinny noodles is how the real places do it). The beef was a bit dry, but we have truly yet to come across a pad thai that gets it all right. The sauce flavor alone was probably one of the best we've had. Khao Soi: Right away I appreciated that they put the crispy topping ON THE SIDE. GENIUS. Why did I never think of that? Every Khao Soi I've ever ordered had the topping served on top and would always get soggy as you eat. I was able to top off each bite with that extra crunch. The spice level was served medium, and usually I do ask if they can make it mild but today I didn't. The spice level was tolerable (for a spice noob) but I was definitely taking sips of David's thai iced coffee. The chicken was also tender and I actually liked how it was in bite sized pieces (sometimes they just serve the whole drumstick). We finished off with the mango sticky rice (I'm a sucker for different colored rice and this one was blue!). While presented beautifully, I'd say the taste was average. I appreciated that the rice wasn't too sweet. Overall, I think David won the dish battle on this one. The staff were nice and I appreciated the big jug of water at the beginning so we didn't need refills. Would come back again to try their Panang curry which also looked amazing!

I happened to be in the area for work and searched "vegan food near me"--so glad this place popped up. Five stars! The ambience is super cute and comfortable, perfect for grabbing lunch or even taking a meeting (which I did!). The lunch options were amazing, and the curry puff was the standout--highly, highly recommend. I could've easily eaten three or four, but had to save room for my main dish.

The place is clean, organized and cozy. I love minimalist vibe. Our food came fast. Great authentic Thai flavor. The Thai iced tea is so good. We ordered Thaimeric steak. Tender,juicy and delicious. The servers are polite and friendly!

Spousal Unit and I stopped in our our way home from watching Favorite Oldest Granddaughter's lacrosse game. How'd she do? Let's just say dinner was the highlight of our evening... We ordered Chive Dumplings to start. Crispy squares of deep fried dough filled with garlic chives - yum! Only complaint: portion size was big so we had to hold off to save room for our entrees. We were glad we did. SU ordered stir fried cashew delight with chicken. Really attractive dish with loads o' chicken, cashews, peppers, and onions with a mild sauce. Babe started by saying she wasn't really hungry; she pretty much licked her plate clean. Me, I ordered another stir fry, Praram Long Song with chicken. Another beautiful dish with vivid green broccoli, Napa cabbage, peanuts, and crispy shallots with a yellow curry sauce. I like mine hot but I've been burned here in the past (pun intended) ordering Thai hot. This time I mellowed down to medium. Very tasty but I will order it Hot next time we come in. And come back we shall. Great food, great service, attentive staff, really attractive decor. What's not to love?

Quite possibly the best Thai food in the entire DMV. My mother in law is from Thailand so I really love good authentic Thai food and this hits the mark. The flavors, the quality and prices can't be beat! Service is on point and they really treat you like family here. Decor is great and they have a full bar as well. You will not be disappointed with Thai Meric !!!!!

Thai Meric was so yummy! the restaurant is cute, the staff was friendly, & the service was wonderful. Every dish we ordered was so yummy. We loved the beef salad, Thai tea, spring rolls, Pad Thai, & Panang Curry we ordered. I will be back!

Hidden gem! I've been to that shopping center plenty of times and never noticed this place. I walked there waiting for my car to be finished near by. Friendly staff. Excellent food. Need to return to try some different dishes. Definitely suggest. Notice lots of delivery and to go orders while I was eating.

My husband loves Thai food, so we had to visit. Found the eatery sandwiched between other stores, no problem. Parking was plentiful. Hostess seated us promptly. The waitress quickly brought our drinks. We shared the pork steamed dumplings which were really good. I had the shrimp Pad Thai. So good! And so much I couldn't finish. My husband the Beef Street fried rice. Very tasty. Our friend had Prik Khing which was tasty and spicy. Servings were generous and we were all very happy. Atmosphere was very nice. Waitress was attentive and courteous. Would definitely return the next time I am in the area. Highly recommended you visit.

Was in Frederick, Maryland Tuesday afternoon picking up hearing aids and finished up right around 5 PM... Just in time to wade out into the Route 15 in rush-hour. Decided to eat dinner in Frederick before we went home to Gettysburg in order to miss the evening rush-hour traffic northbound on Route 15. Tried this Thai restaurant for the first time arriving about 5:30 PM where we were one of just a few dining parties. My wife had the drunken noodles with pork, which she said was as good as she's ever had anywhere.... So we can give that menu item 5 stars. We had the Calamari appetizer and it was absolutely delicious, also worthy of five stars.....and a big plus that it was half price on the early bird menu. I ordered the Stir Fry Delight... Chicken, bell peppers, onions, scallions, carrots, and cashews, with jasmine rice. This dish came with a rather heavy red sauce, which was OK but not my favorite. The chunks of chicken were breaded and fried and some of the large chunks were too hard to cut with a fork... had to use my pocket knife.....only three stars for this entree. My wife had iced tea I had a Michelob Ultra (also part of a 2 for one deal during happy hour) The service was quite good, and the restaurant was very clean and spacious. I would have awarded five stars overall if I had like the stirfry better and if there wasn't a $2.00 surcharge for the pork on the drunken noodles. The bill including tax and tip came to about $60 for the food and drinks described above. But all in all very good food and a pleasant dining experience.

5* no words can replace the experience you'll get introducing their menu options to the papillae on your tongue. Great food , people and average / cute interior. Parking is not too plentiful, but close enough to the location.

Hidden gem in Frederick! My hubby and I visited this spot on a Sunday at opening of 12pm. The inside has a really nice vibe. We were immediately greeted and seated. My hubby ordered the chicken pad this and I the crust chicken w steam rice. We also had the doing tool (we probably could've eaten 20 of them, lol)! Great place, great food and service!

Husband was craving Thai food and Thai Meric was just around the corner of where we were. Pros -The restaurant was beautifully decorated that my kids thought of taking a photoshoot in the front. LOL -The space was quaint but spacious and clean -They do have a bar area where you can sit and hang out -The service was very attentive, friendly, and accommodating -Kids menu! Just smaller portions of some of the common Thai dishes -Food was delicious and presented in a lovely way! The kids and I adored the heart shaped rice. What a nice touch! I had the green curry and it was spiced perfectly, not too overwhelming. My son loved the pineapple fried rice and ate majority of his plate. My husband ordered a duck dish and he was very pleased. He said the duck was crispy and not soggy. -Ordered the lycheetini and a bourbon drink. Both were very delicious -Plenty of parking in the lot Would love to visit Thai Meric again!!

Stopped In for dinner while visiting my parents. I had the pad kee Mao which was great. The medium heat was a perfect amount. It wasn't bland. Good flavor. Our server was a nice guy from Texas. He was super friendly and polite. Nice to see that type of service. The overall feel wasn't too casual. Nice clean restaurant rather than some of the hole in the walls that you wonder their health scores.

We went for lunch. The appetizers were ok. But the entree was expensive and it's not worth the money. Ordered chicken Basil fried rice. It was too salty and hardly found any chicken in it. Will never ever go to this place again.

Have to get the Pad Kee Mao. If I was on death row it would be my last meal choice. Staff are always so kind. I love Thai Meric.

Delicious food & great service! We came in a big group for our friends' engagement dinner, and all of our food still came in a timely manner. The staff was super friendly and helpful! Compared to other Thai restaurants in HoCo & MoCo and another one I've been to in Frederick County, I will say that the portions are on the smaller side. For example, the curry puff appetizer only came with 2 pieces (whereas other Thai places I go to, the curry puff comes with 4 pieces). We were surprised when it came out with only 2, so we had to order another one to be able to share between 5 of us at one end of the table. Same with the calamari we ordered for our side of the table, it came in a tiny metal fry bucket so we also had to order another one of this as well. Other than the small portions, everyone enjoyed their entrees, and the desserts were yummy!

Really tasty Thai food! Pricing was reasonable and I thought portions were good. I only got takeout and placing my order and order accuracy was great!

We went to Thai meric on a whim and omg what a treat! We got the kids fried rice, duck roll, green curry, steak salad, bang bang shrimp, kapow krob with duck, and ended with fried bananas and mango sticky rice- our family has 7 absolutely everything so soooo good! The service was fast, very friendly, and style was on point. We can't wait to come back!

This place was very good! We ordered the Red Curry, beef basil fried rice and the Pad Kee Mao. The food came out extremely fast and our server was very friendly. As soon as you walk in you see the beautiful neon lights that say "Taste of Happiness Frederick!" If you're anything thing like me and base my first impression on ambiance, you're in for a treat at this place! The Thai tea comes with whipped cream just for your awareness! I usually opt out of that lol

Never been here in person, only ordered through Uber eats and this food is delicious!!! My food was packaged nicely, fresh, hot and full of deep rich flavors. I ordered the curry puff and the the wonton soup. Previous wonton soups that I've ordered from past restaurants were just broth, maybe some tofu and then wontons. This wonton soup though reigned supreme it had carrots, onion, bok choy, and wontons all in a delicious well seasoned broth. Then the curry puff had chicken, potatoes and peas and was perfectly portioned in flaky pillowy dough- cooked to perfection!!!

I visited on a Saturday early evening and the restaurant was quite empty due to the time of arrival. We had a party of 4 and the service was fantastic. Pimpisa was our server and she was very sweet. She had a nice calm vibe and gave me a great recommendation for my entree. My Khoi soi was delicious. The broth was complex and the noodles were perfectly cooked in my opinion. Khoi soi is a dish best eaten at the restaurant and I loved it. We also ordered fried bananas for dessert and they were crunchy and very hot when they arrived. The ice cream was a nice contrast in texture. I loved this place. Everything was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this place.

Love that this restaurant is on route 40... genuinely love seeing the newer restaurants diversify the area, Came here for a weekend lunch and and didn't have to eat for the rest of the day lol! I ordered the Thai Meric Steak! At first it did bother me the steak only came with a salad but the salad was extremely tasty and my steak was cooked perfectly and also very filling. So it made up for the lack of sides ..The sauce that came with my steak complimented it very well!

The food is made with love! I can tell. I went here for my bday after delivering from this restaurant, I could smell how amazing it was. I don't even like green curry, but my mom got it and it was extremely balanced, not too fishy. It was amazing. I got cashew chicken and it was not what I expected. It was breaded chicken in a ketchup sauce. I didn't like it and they were very understanding, recommending drunken noodles, since I don't like my entrees sweet. The drunken noodles were SO GOOD. They tasted extra toasty and I loved all the peppers, onions and tomatoes that were in it. The basil fried rice was very good and you get a choice of meat in it. The quality of food is the highest it can be. The heart rice was so cute and the rice is fresh. The service is top notch. I will come back for sure! I'm just not very familiar with thai food, so I'm not sure what cashew sauce traditionally is. It's expensive! Be prepared to pay $3-4 more for each dish than you would expect. Some entrees are $21!! I would say it's worth it though! I wish the seating was more private with either privacy walls or booths, but I know they are working with limited space.

Thai Meric is absolutely amazing! The service is wonderful; they treat everyone so great and welcome everyone with a friendly face. Shoutout to Patrick for being so accommodating and even coming into work early to get our big lunch order in on time. He is a gem! Thank you so much Patrick! They make sure everything is perfect, especially to go orders! Our office orders from here all the time because there are so many options to choose from and it is so delicious! 10/10 recommend for the atmosphere and food!

Food just wasn't what I'd hoped for. Too many other great Asian choices here in Frederick.

Thank you Yelp for pointing me in this direction. I found the service attentive and the entree very good. The fifth star isn't there because the soup was not very tasty or coconutty (is that a word). I would go back but would make another appetizer choice!

This place is decorated really nicely as soon as you walk in, though it doesn't look like much from the outside street. This place had some awesome reviews, so I decided to check it out on my way back in towards DC. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint! Two of us shared the following dishes: Duck roll appetizer - 5/5 - this was mentioned by several other people so we had to try it! The duck was cooked to perfection, super crispy and lots of meat! The side sauce and veggies complement the heavier crispy duck and roti perfectly, and I wanted to keep eating! The portion size is pretty generous too. Chicken pad thai - 5/5 - had to go with a classic! The portion is large, and two of us were able to share this comfortably. The pad thai itself is zesty and flavorful, and there are plenty of peanuts, veggies, and meat that were included! Crispy banana dessert - 4/5 - lowkey thought this was going to be fried banana with ice cream, but it was different and I liked it! The banana was wrapped in a spring-roll-like wrapped and the dessert was drizzled with honey. For the size and what it is, I think it could've been a bit cheaper, but I thought it was tasty regardless! The waiters were also really nice and friendly, overall had an awesome experience

Lovely, modern, clean, and great food and service! My only complaint is the chairs are uncomfortable. But I will be back!

Came across Thai Meric while exploring different places in the area. We got there around 4:30 on Saturday evening. They were pretty empty, which was great because we were able to get a table right away. I assumed this restaurant was near downtown Frederick, but it's actually right outside of it located in a shopping center. This was great because I didn't have to waste time looking for parking or a garage. Hubs and I decided to order the spring rolls as an appetizer and ordered chicken pad Thai and the pineapple fried rice. Everything came our hot and fresh. The spring rolls were delicious! The pad Thai had amazing flavor and was made just right. The pineapple fried rice was also delicious and came standard with chicken and shrimp. I especially loved that they add raisins and cashews...it all went together perfectly. Next time I'd probably ask for some added spice though. Our table ordered rhe fried bananas wirh coconut ice cream. The fried bananas were amazing in their own, but just a great with the ice cream. Perfect combination! I loved the vibe and ambiance. They have a super cute bar at the entrance which I wouldn't mind sitting at next visit. Service was also great. Overall, great Thai spot that I certainly don't mind going to again and again!

Love this place. Food is always great and delivery is fast, was told food would arrive in 25 minutes and it was delivered in 25 minutes on a Friday night. Some of the best food you can get in frederick. Would comment on the ambiance but I've only ordered for cary out, looking forward to dining in soon! PS. get the duck rolls and the Pad See ew with chicken!

wow this place is INSANELY GOOD! Service was amazing, food is 10/10, place is clean and organized, and i love the vibe here. Will come back! :)

My absolute favorite Thai restaurant in Frederick!! Nothing hits better after a long day than an order of their Pad See Ew and two of their thai iced teas. This is my go-to comfort order and I'm 100% sure the door-dash drivers are sick of having to pick up my order from here 4 times a week. Although I have not dined in person yet, I have picked up/delivered from the restaurant before. The staff are friendly, service is quick, interior is gorgeous, food is consistently delicious and they have not yet failed to put a smile of my face (or make me break a sweat on my face from how spicy it can be). I have tried their other items such as their delicious chicken fried rice and pork gyoza. I've also gotten my dad obsessed with my order so sometimes I order twice as much now. Maybe we'll even dine in one day!

Food was absolutely delicios! We had Tom Yum soup with shrimps and Panang Curry. Portions size is generous. Outstanding atomosphere and service. Will come back!

We wanted to try this place since we were in the neighborhood. I read such glowing reviews. The Thai tea was delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness. Talk about sweetness our server was definitely sweet. I ordered the shrimp firecracker appetizer. It came with four lightly breaded shrimp and a little container of dipping sauce and 4 little chunks of pineapple. It was fine nothing spectacular. Our meals came out relatively quickly. Surprisingly our food was lukewarm bordering on cold. My wife's garlic pepper dish came with tofu, rice, broccoli and garlic. I tasted it and it was almost cold. It had an ok flavor again nothing really stuck out. My order was a yellow curry with chicken and broccoli and it came with rice. The food was not hot. It was supposed to come with peanuts but I had none. Again the flavor was eh ok. I did tell our server about the food temperature and he did remove $4.80 from our bill that came to $ 47.00. I really wanted to love this place. It's a shame too, because we loved the ambiance and our server was nice. Maybe the cooks had an off day.

Restaurant has very nice ambiance. We went on a Tuesday night to have dinner with some friends from out of town. Overall, the service was fast and the food was very good. I'd say we all liked our entrees and were pretty satisfied with the orders. However, the appetizers were quite underwhelming and left a lot to be desired. The chicken curry puffs were extremely small and still priced at $8. They were bite sized. The firecracker shrimp were alright but probably not worth it either. All in all - would recommend it for people looking for good Thai food. Just would not get these appetizers again in the future.

Been here twice now for lunch and dinner. Gotta love a place that can pull off a modern vibe with food that can give you an Anton Ego flashback moment like in Ratatouille (if you don't get the reference...shame on you). Tom yum soup, when made right, has the perfect balance of sour, spicy, sweet, and salty. I love this soup, but I normally don't order it because I've been disappointed one too many times. Their soup makes me wanna hug my grandmama it's that homey. My true gauge on a Thai restaurant, though, is their pad see ew. You say pad see ew snob, but I pronounce it connoisseur. Thai meric hits the smoky, savory, and sweet trifecta out of the park. My only gripe was the Thai tea and the Thai coffee was watered down tasting. The food is amazing, so I'm hoping it was an off day for the drinks. Whipped cream on the Thai tea was also different.

Great Thai restaurant in Frederick. The food was a little salty for my taste buds but nothing extreme. Also the Kapow is very different from other restaurants so I was a little disappointed by that.

Literally THE BEST pad thai I've ever had. The larb gai is so good too. Besides water, the best drink you can get there is a thai tea it's delicious :))

Came here with my family on a Friday afternoon. There was no wait and we were greeted at the door and seated immediately. The menu had a number of items that seemed worth ordering, and they also had happy hour food items, which the server stated are full-sized portions. We ordered the calamari, curry puff pastry, and firecracker shrimp for happy hour. Everyone thought the appetizers were flavorful. Next came our main plates - pad kee mao, prik khing, and kapow. My mom said the pad kee mao was good but a little salty, which I agreed with. The prik khing and kapow were spicy and not bad on flavor, but I probably wouldn't reorder these two food items as they weren't amazing or anything special. I think I would go again if I was in the area and craving Thai food, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

The best Thai food I've had in Frederick! I ordered takeout and the food was well packaged and delicious!

My wife and I visited for the lunch special. $14 for an appetizer and entree. The portions were well-sized (I'm a big guy and I was struggling to finish!), the service was friendly and attentive, and the food tasted very good. I had the curry puff pastry (5 stars) and the cashew chicken (4 stars, a bit too much acidity leaving an aftertaste I didn't like). My wife had the veg soup (5 stars) and the Pad See Eew (flat rice noodles, egg, broccoli) with chicken (5 stars). Overall a very good experience and we will return. 4.5 stars.

This place is good most of the time but not all of the time... price stays the same though! They are not consistent with the taste and quality of the food and it's very disappointing. I got the same dish but not the same taste at all! I'm not coming back for awhile.... Just hot greasy and nasty it's a big difference.

Everything is great. Great ambiance, delicious food, kind waiters. Lunch special was great. Def will be back

We get take out from Thai Meric somewhat regularly and it always is good, but last night I ate in the restaurant and it was phenomenal! I had simple Thai dishes, chicken kapow and mangoes with sticky rice, and wow!! The presentation, the delicate blend of sweet, spicy and savory of the kapow, the ripe mango in a beautiful rose cut, the service, it was great. The restaurant is in a strip mall off Patrick and is very nicely decorated. There is plenty of seating, a great ambiance, nice soft jazz playing in the background, it's a very nice place to be. If you are looking for great Thai food or an alternative to your usual take out or delivery fare, give Thai Meric a try. I promise you won't regret it.

Jan 23, 2013: After a great first dining experience, I decided to bring my parents here for lunch since they've never tried Thai food before. Unfortunately, all my fav dishes (besides the papaya salad) were way too salty. We ordered the Pad See Eew and Chicken KaProw, and it was not edible without the jasmine rice. I'm not sure if there was a different cook today (during lunch time) or if it was just a one time thing, but consistency is key for me when it comes to a stellar restaurant. I ended up having to order another side of rice for my leftovers (which costs an extra $3). Unfortunately, after today, I had to bump my review down to 4 stars. I recommended this place to a few friends already so I'm hoping their experience is more like my first visit than this time around. -- Jan 15, 2023: First time customer - I came here for a reunion with my fav family friend (aka little sis) and the food was magnificent. We ordered the Salmon Ceviche, Thai Papaya Salad, Basil Fried Rice with chicken, and Pad See Eew with chicken. I'm Korean so I love spicy food but the level 2 for the fried rice was teetering on flamin' hot Cheetos for me. However, everything was still delicious. The Pad See Eew was nicely charred with a tint of sweetness, the fried rice was a little al dente (just the way I like it), and the papaya salad and salmon ceviche was the perfect balance of all the spices. I give the customer service a 5/5 and with free parking, there's no excuse not to give this place a visit. Highly recommend!

authentic taste and love it Recommended for family and friends to handout. Nice service

I tried the Pad Thai first, just to gauge the food here, and that was a bad decision because it's so good that I don't ever want to order anything else. Luckily I have, and everything else has also been wonderful. But get the Pad Thai with minced chicken - it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. It also makes ELITE leftovers.

Good food great service. Atmosphere so warm welcome. Kapow Krob pork belly hot and spicy so delicious.
