The food was delicious! I got the garden rolls – tasted fresh and with delicious peanut sauce. I also got “Jungle” which was soooo good. I got it with the seafood, hoped for more seafood though. The spice and flavors were all perfect, I ate it all! The roasted duck was tender and juicy.

Service was great in this laid back relaxed atmosphere. Then the food was outstanding. Waitstaff recommended Roasted Duck with Red Curry. Was delicious. Multiple flavors throughout the meal. Will be back soon.

Vegetarian friendly Thai. Loved the food here. Definitely will be coming back for more Kao Soi. It was fantastic. We also ordered veg puffs & red curry which were very good. Service was amazing, we went just before they were closing but the wait staff did not rush us at all and waited patiently without hurrying us. A must visit in if you are in China town.

This place is no joke on the spice! Unassuming spot in DC’s small chinatown but so much flavor and fun drinks. We got big portions and the green curry fried rice with tofu was so great!

Mediocre thai food, looks like it’s cooked mass scale and then divided over smaller portions, definitely not a great thai food restaurant. Som tum was not spicy(according to menu it should have been) and very salty, it had 2 tiny pieces of tomato and 4 half bean pieces LOL, kao pad was fatty and no herbs were added at all, tasted more like Chinese food as Thai. This comes from a Thai person .

My best friend and I stopped here after the basketball game since she had been wanting to try the place. The food is alright definitely not the best Thai food I have had. I got the chicken wontons as an appetizer which I don’t recommend cause it isn’t have any flavor. And we both had the basil fried rice which was decent.

Love the food, have to be careful with the spicy food if you’re not a fan and the mango dessert with rice awful, but the rest was really good.

A good place for lunch when visiting SAAM and the National Portrait Gallery. I had the Absolute Thai Noodle lunch special ($16) and Thai Iced Tea ($5.50). Near the Gallery Place Metro, Capital One Arena.
