I was in the area and saw the high ratings and decided to try them out. The interior is bright, modern and cozy with a bar at the back. Both members working the front were super friendly and gave me recommendations on what to order. I went with their red curry and the grilled pork meatballs. The grilled meatballs didn’t look like much but were deceivingly fantastic! It has that wonderful bouncy texture and the fried exterior just like the curry fish balls that street vendors would sell in Asia and didn’t taste like it was made with all fillers like most of the store bought meatballs from Asian supermarkets. The red curry was more yellow in color but the broth was quite flavorful and balanced. It wasn’t too salty so you can drink it like a soup but packed enough taste to still go great with your rice. The amount of meat and vegetable was pretty good and the best part was they used fresh bamboo shoot which I rarely see. I normally hate the canned bamboo shoots because of the after taste but this takes it to another level for me and is definitely my favorite Thai place in the area. Highly recommend!

I am a Thai-food lover and this has just become my favorite spot since the first time I visited. The service is great, the food is delicious and they have an amazing variety of options and the ambient it’s very nice comfortable. I definitely recommend this place for a great lunch or dinner. If you are looking for delicious food, you’ve got to try Donsak!

All dishes are delicious. They are really authentic thai food. Grilled pork is 100% excellent, very recommended. Thai sausage is also really good. It is rare to find this thai dish anywhere else. Servers are very friendly and nice. I’m definitely going back many times.

Great little authentic Thai restaurant. Everything we ordered was fantastic. We had the roasted pork neck off the Esan menu. The Penang salmon and Khao Gia. Hopefully next time I’ll get to try the koa Soi.

Family vacation on D.C, starving after going to the zoo. Honestly food was delicious, so much so we felt the need to make a review (which we don’t do often). The place is clean and has a modern feel to it. Menu is super varied. We had the gyozas as a started, had to order a second plate. I ate the pad see ew, and we also enjoyed some delicious chicken and salmon. Would come again on another trip.

The Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken ($15) and Drunken Noodles with Chicken ($15) were great dishes to share. Wonderful food and service. A perfect place for a meal before or after visiting the zoo. Close to the Woodley Park Metro.

Tiny portions! I would say the portion size was 60% of a normal take out container. It tastes good but there are other Thai places that taste just as good for the same price and double the food. Also they don’t do ‘tofu and veggies’ like most restaurants, it’s just veggies or just tofu (you have to pay $+3 extra for a ‘combo’). Unfortunately I was really excited to go, but wasn’t impressed enough to return – maybe in restaurant the portions are better sized but as you can see from the photos the ka pao looks like it’s the leftovers of someone’s meal, and the Kua Gai is equally sad 🙁 such a shame! The menu looked so promising

Just finished eating here. Great service and great food. They were so welcoming from the moment I entered the restaurant. All servers super helpful and friendly. The food was prepared quickly and to perfection. Cozy vibes in restaurant too. I recommend the duck rolls OMG!!! I’m from California visiting here out of state and can’t say I have had better Thai food there. Will definitely be returning
