Loved this place! Very well situated— about 10min walk from Crystal Gateway Marriott. Excellent atmosphere. Waiters are attentive but not over the top; straight to the point, yet kind, customer service, and I appreciate that, especially on business trips. Ordered the pork and crab dumplings as starter and fried tofu Pad Thai as main course, both finger licking good. Fresh ingredients and generous portions. Added veggie spring rolls to go, and was very surprised these are fried and not the traditional spring roll, but not a show stopper. I actually look forward to try them for dinner. Paid $35 for all three, including tip. Would recommend and will absolutely come back.

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the DC area, and so we were excited to go back on a recent visit to DC. The food overall was very good, but it wasn’t my best experience at this restaurants. As a note, they have two menus, one is more authentic Thai food (and is geared towards their Thai patrons), but you have to ask for it if you are not Thai which I find a little annoying. The somtum (papaya salad) was also not super authentic on that day – you can see from the photo that they didn’t shred the papaya enough, and I am not even sure if they used the right papaya. Service as a little lackluster as well on this visit, we had to ask twice for the drinks we ordered, and while a second server who sort of took over was very nice, the initial server who seated us and took our order seemed uninterested. Overall though the food is very good here, and if you like authentic Thai food be sure to ask for the Thai menu. I will definitely go again, but hopefully it will be as good as my past experiences next time. 4/5

Good food, very busy, seemed clean. I enjoyed my food. it just seemed the wait staff did not listen to my order. Had to ask for spring rolls three times, and I received them after my meal arrived. Overall, my food, lemongrass tea, and fellowship were all good. I would recommend this place, and I will go back. I just want the waitress to tighten up and 5 stars.

Excellent everything, very kind server’s and the food was delicious. I had the calamari for an appetizer and the drunken noodles with beef for entree and both were delicious. Just a short walk up the road from the metro too so if your in the area I suggest you give it a try!

First time going to this restaurant in Arlington, VA. It is about a 14 min walk from the Residence Inn by Marriott. The atmosphere was very inviting.

Urban Thai is one of my favorite Thai restaurants, introduced to me by a colleague. It’s centrally located, so parking can be tough, but it is worth it. The flavors are rich and dynamic, both for dinner and dessert. You can take things as spicy as you like here, so get adventurous. The service here is solid, don’t be afraid to ask what they might recommend. This is a great spot for a casual dinner date, happy hour with friends, or family night out.

Lived the food and the ambience. Ordered pad thai and enjoyed its flavors. The crushed peanut at the top enhanced its taste and first time had the authentic taste

Urban Thai is a lovely small restaurant with delicious food and quick, friendly service. I went on a Wednesday night at about 6:30 pm and it was not crowded, but there were several tables filled, both inside and outside in the covered patio area. The staff took m order quickly, double checking to make sure they got it right. My food came very fast; I had my appetizer within 5 minutes of ordering and my entrée within 10 minutes. I had a tom kha martini, which was quite good and garnished with a chili, the pork and shrimp dumplings, and the butternut squash and tofu in red curry. Everything was delicious and the portions were a good size for me; I couldn’t quite finish all the rice that came with my entrée–I was just a little too full. The red curry was mildly spicy, so be aware that at Urban Thai, mildly spicy does still mean there’s going to be a little bit of a burn. I would definitely recommend Urban Thai to anyone who is looking for Thai food for lunch or dinner, and I will probably come back if I’m in the area again.

I went with some colleagues during a lunch outing, and the food was actually quite delicious. I started with veggie rolls, which were fried, and the drunken noodles were wonderful! You have to add your choice of meat to the noodles. I also tried their bubble ice tea, which tasted a little chocolate-e to me, but was not nasty. Small place, I gave 4 stars only because we went during the lunch hour and there were only 2 people running the front. Also, the apple pay was down.
