Stay away. This place has terrible Thai food, it’s more like carry out imitation Thai food. I ordered crispy basil chicken and first it wasn’t crispy it was soggy. I can tell they made the dish with frozen low quality tenders or something. It tasted like they cooked it then froze it and re heated it had the freezer burn taste to it. We need some better Thai food with good service.

This is not a dine in place. They still have it set up like Covid where it’s blocked off and you order through a glass partition.

I was at the beauty supply next door. The sign said they opened at 11am I went to open the door and it was locked. I looked at the time and it was 11:12am. There was an older Asian woman mopping the floor. I tried to make eye contact and knocked on the door to get her attention. She finally looked up and saw me but continued mopping. She finally came to the door and I tried to step in but she blocked the entry. I said I’m sorry the sign says you open at 11am? She looked at me and said yes but I’m still cleaning and closed the door in my face. I was so shocked I just stood there staring while she continued wiping down tables and not looking up at me. Terrible customer service! She could have asked what my order was and said to wait outside which I would have done but the way this was handled was unnacceptable!

So far, so good. About 15 orders in, and they have only missed one time when I ordered the fried rice with salmon and for the mounds of rice I got, the salmon was very tiny. I just stick to the drunken noodles or drunken spaghetti with salmon. You can choose your own protein with all their dishes (chicken, shrimp, salmon etc). I wonder if I can get the pineapple rice with salmon instead of chicken, hmmm. I usually get delivery through Uber Eats but did do a pickup order once and the people were pretty nice and helpful and you can park in the alley next to the building for a quick run in to pick up. Don’t forget the fried banana with honey for desert!

Their green curry is now one of my favorites, the spice level is excellent. The dish would have been perfect if the sauce wasn’t so thin like they made it the day before and if they would have left out the red pepper(this flavor over powers everything in a VERY bad way!) When I ordered I asked for NO PEPPERS IN MY FOOD.

This is my go to Thai restaurant. I have patronized this spot for years and I continue to return even after moving further away. The food is always promptly prepared. It is also consistently prepared; we all know that food quality tends to vary depending on day and time of day. I have yet to have a bad experience or a wrong order EVER. I typically order the well know dishes – Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and drunken noodles. They will also customize dishes including removing nuts and eggs or reducing spicy flavors. I recommend the appetizer sampler and the banana dessert.

Crab fried rice is so yummy! Look at the amount of crab meat they give you. I don’t even have to add any seasoning.

YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE!! Everything we ordered tasted so delicious. I recommend the “pad cee eu with shrimp” as its so flavorful. It was our first time visiting Washington DC and the first restaurant we visited- the employee was very helpful, patient and kind with answering our questions. Tastes authentic. The guy even gave us a little surprise (papaya salad) upon pickup- we’re so grateful! Good prices as well compared to other Thai restaurants we visited in different areas. The large Thai iced tea was DELICIOUS and HUGE for only $5!! One of the yummiest Thai teas!! Cheaper than a small boba. Thank you so much, will come back again before we leave the city!

Can’t recommend this enough it’s a staple Thai spot for my partner and I. He always orders basil fried rice (minus the green beans) I’ve ordered several things. Love their crab fried rice pineapple fried rice and recently I’ve ordered their Kaprow with chicken and they didn’t disappoint again. I also love the sticky rice.
