Eve Ferrao
Paragon Thai is a cozy little Thai restaurant nestled in a bustling strip mall near Cleveland park, Washington DC. The food was great and staffs were very nice and attentive to details. Crispy fried food was just right, for example, we ordered curry puffs and crab rangoons. You can see from the plates that , the pieces were golden brown and have no excess oil which depicted good quality deep fried food. I can vouch for the crispiness and the taste .. the spicy salad was great as well .. I have tried other stir fries and mango sticky rice which were also awesome. if you are in the area or thinking of a quick and tasty takeout, give them a try. Highly recommended!!!

Service was pleasant, the atmosphere was calm, although the lunch combo only comes with two small gyoza I have no complaints. That was the *best* fried rice I have *ever* had. The lemonade was also perfectly tart and refreshing!

I absolutely love this restaurant. Most recently I placed a pick up order and it was perfect. I ordered chicken satay skewers with peanut sauce and Curry potato puffs with their cucumber/veggies vinegar sauce. All of the employees are extremely kind and hardworking. The food is delicious. I’m looking forward to dining in soon.

I don’t know how one screws up fried rice, or pad see ew, but this place managed to destroy both. Everything was inedibly sweet, like they doused both dishes in sugar. The pad see ew was literally in a puddle of sugar sauce. Totally inedible. The Tom Ka Gai was also deeply disappointing, but at least didn’t risk instant diabetes.

Me and my 13 year old daughter went to this restaurant. We both wanted to try this place. I worked in Chinese Restaurants. I know Thai Food and the Cuisine. When I walked in the smell of dirty carpet hit me. I wanted to order the Lunch menu but was told that I could not order the Lunch menu because it was Presidents day. I ordered the vegetable soup. Tasted Like hot water no taste. Had Red Curry with beef. Beef was tough and rice was not cooked. Calamari was good. Tasty. My daughter had Pad Thai. Was Okay but rice not cooked. Meat was tough. We both were not happy about Lunch there. The price was to steep for the Taste. Disappointed!

We stopped here to eat after a visit to the zoo. It is in the shopping center right next to the exit for the Cleveland Park Metro station. Very quick and delicious food. I had the shrimp ka pow (they can adjust the sauce to be mild or medium spice level). And I also tried the chicken pad see ew. Both were tasty.

They forced 18% tips after we got a very bad service, and we three people spent 135 for the bad taste dinner, which is insane, for this price, why don’t we go to dc for a better restaurant.

Great Authentic Thai food, even my dad who is very picky, I’ll be honest I am too, was able to enjoy the chicken pineapple dish. Everyone there also seems to be from Thailand, not that that matters so much, but it is truly a paragon Thai restaurant.

I am spoiled for choice with the Thai restaurants surrounding me, including Paragon Thai. I basically always order a curry and/or noodle dish and it’s always delicious here! Very attentive staff too

Waited one hour to get our take out. ( they didn’t even put our take out order in until we arrived at the restaurant). Not to mention the food is not as good as used to be. Seafood dish smelled awful, we had to toss it. We will avoid this restaurant from now on.
