I mean I know taste it pretty subjective matter, but really, in my view how come the food can be that bad, I would expect such quality from food chain restaurant, but they are not. Cocktails are even worse, you feel pure alcohol in there and its not smooth. Service is fine

Diner Review №2

The tofu pad king was great, as was the service.

Diner Review №3

Was really good

Diner Review №4

Delicious Panang Curry and Sriracha Noodles, great happy hour options, and amazing service and ambiance.

Diner Review №5

I am shocked. I ordered Pad See Ew, and within minutes, my food was in front of me. The noodles were perfect. Perfect amount of sweetness and saltiness. The chicken did get cold faster but still tasted great! Portion size is just right; not too much, and certainly not too little. Also, I wanted something hot to drink, and they were happy to serve me a hot Jasmin tea. Will be going here again as long as I'm in the area. Next time I want to try the dessert.

Diner Review №6

Would not recommend. Our server was very rude and lacked in professionalism and attention throughout. There were six in our party and they charged us 20% gratuity.

Diner Review №7

Dined here for dinner, while in DC for a conference with colleagues. The ambience is nice, stylish and the lighting is done well as another reviewer said. The service is also very good and on point.

The food was just ok. I got the siracha noodles which is marked as spicy on the menu. Not spicy at all actually it was sweet. Two of my coworkers who cannot eat spicy tried it and also thought it was not spicy but sweet. My third coworker asked what the spiciest dish on menu was, drunken noodles, and ordered this. He felt there was a hint of spice but definitely not spicy. Red curry was ordered at the table. This was flavorful and hit the spot for the person that ordered. I had a bite myself and found it to be better flavored than the siracha noodles.

We got brussel sprouts for the table, it was delicious.

The drinks were alcohol forward in flavor.

Diner Review №8

Beau Thai has a lovely interior and some of the most attentive waitstaff I’ve experienced. Food came out quickly, and both food and cocktails were tasty, if not a bit overly sweet in some instances (e.g., we found the masaman to taste more like a sweet pot roast than the masaman we’ve had at other Thai restaurants). Regardless, we would definitely give it another try!

Vegan drunken noodles was absolutely amazing.

Spicy entrees & tasty Thai brussel sprouts. The fall specials included a basil fried rice with pork & pumpkin yellow curry, delicious

I dream about this place. Best Thai in DC, and possibly the northeast!

Diner Review №15

I recently dined at Beau Thai in Washington, D.C., and it was a decent experience. Thai being one of my favorite cuisines, I’ve come to expect a standard that not many Thai restaurants can meet. Let me begin! The restaurant has a warm, stylish setting that creates a welcoming atmosphere. It feels relaxed with thoughtfully chosen lighting and decor that make it perfect for a variety of occasions whether you’re out with friends or on a date.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, and they were helpful without being impatient. They were quick to address any questions and made sure we felt taken care of throughout the meal. This level of service contributed positively to the overall experience.

As for the food, the Green Curry was decent, with good flavor, but the portion size was smaller than expected and the curry was somewhat too watery. Given the price, I was definitely expecting much better. While the dish was satisfying in taste, it didn’t quite match other elements of the experience. That said, Beau Thai is still a good spot for its ambiance and service, though there may be better options in D.C. if you’re looking for great Thai food and larger portions for the price.

Diner Review №16

Absolutely amazing Thai food must try

Diner Review №17

The food actually tastes decent, but this is one of the least accommodating and strangest and most corporate Thai spots I've been to. Every time I come I'm disappointed. I tried to order a dish with steamed tofu instead of fried tofu and they tell me that's not possible, even though it absolutely should be. I asked them to suggest me another dish that is both gluten-free and vegan and has tofu and they suggest another dish which has steamed tofu in it. I get the dish, it has three tiny pieces of steamed tofu. If I'm asking for a dish with tofu, please give me a dish with tofu. Every single other Thai restaurant on Earth is able and willing to accommodate making dishes both gluten-free and vegan except for this one, which coincidentally also costs the most and has the most corporate vibes.

Diner Review №19

Their red curry chicken is one of my favorite red curries in the area especially since they have the eggplants in it and has a good level of heat to it. They also do a great job with the Thai iced tea and they are relatively fast with food orders for take out.

Diner Review №20

Really tasty food! Portions were uneven on entrees with some being double as much food.

Diner Review №21

First time trying Thai. So good!! Staff was very kind. Amazing prices!!

Diner Review №22

Very disappointed after being excited to try after reading good reviews. Red curry was okay , I was disappointed to find out the garden rolls come pre made and aren’t “fresh” I asked for no tofu inside and was told because they come made they can’t adjust it they also don’t have Ming or cucumber inside. We also got the pad Thai (huge fan) and it was disgustingly sweet.

Diner Review №24

Took my mom here for lunch and was surprised it wasn’t more crowded. They were so attentive to us sitting outside, moving our umbrella as the sun shifted and offering us bug spray. The patio was cute and all the food was delicious!

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

What a joke…spent over $50 on 3 items and the portions were pathetically small. Talk about shrinkflation - won’t be ordering from here again!

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

I ordered chicken with cashews. It was horrible. There were three pieces of onions and not one piece of vegetable. I ordered this meal in the past and I know what comes with it. I don't mind paying money for good food but this was lousy and disrespectful to the customers. I am not going to patronize this restaurant anymore. I will go where my money is appreciated.

Diner Review №29

- Drunken noodles with tofu - excellent 10/10

Would be great to see even more vegan options in the future on the menu!

Diner Review №30

Amazingly flavorful Thai food! Best Thai food I’ve had, perfectly seasoned and doesn’t taste like an overheated wok. Served hot, fresh and steamy. The Thai Iced Tea was really delicious too.

The atmosphere was clean, stylish and staff were very attentive and friendly. A++

I had chicken Pad Thai, my wife had Pad Se Ew and we split the pork belly appetizer which is served with a sour sauce and noodles.This place is worth every penny! If you love Thai food, do yourself a flavor and eat here!

Diner Review №31

Very nice restaurant, food was delicious 😋! Will be back.

Diner Review №32

The BEST pad thai I've had in the city so far. I wish it was closer to me lol.

Diner Review №33

I got recommended this place from the r/WashingtonDC subreddit and it was hands down the best meal I had here. It was so good my girlfriend and I had to come back the day after. Everything here is so well seasoned and the portions are amazing for the price. She tried both the Thai Chili Mango Margarita and the Sunkissed Pink cocktails and they were both delicious! A bit strong but delicious nonetheless.

The Drunken Noodles are extremely savory, the glass noodle stir fry tasted amazing and fresh enough without feeling heavy from the stir fry, the glass noodle salad is a definite try. It is served warm but is extremely refreshing! The rice in the Kao Pad Nam Prik Pao is spicy but delicious, the chicken is honestly pretty bland which I think is supposed to be balanced out with how salty and savory the rice is but I would’ve preferred a dipping sauce for the chicken but otherwise everything is delicious! I’ll be thinking of this place back home and can’t wait to come back.

Good food, and fairly consistent in the quality. We tend to do take out predominantly but have dined in the restaurant and the atmosphere and service a good.

I went to this place to try out their food and my godkids were interested in trying out their food. They had whole chicken wings 🎉🎉🎉 ..... At least that's what they told me .... When my order finally came 💥💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 THE SO CALLED WHOLE CHICKEN WINGS WERE PARTY WING'S AND THEY WERE TOO SALTY ...

Great food

Diner Review №41

Food was ready in 5 min. Server was very friendly. Highly recommend the drunken noodles.

Diner Review №42

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

I know everything is more expensive now but damn!! $22 for less than half a box of very sour pad Thai. Well it would have been $19 without tip but still, shocked at how small the serving is, definitely not enough for a full meal if you are hungry and you sure won’t have leftovers for later

Diner Review №45

Generally ok. Nothing special. Food, service and atmosphere was better than good but less than outstanding.

Diner Review №46

Pretty pretty solid, nothing to complain about.

Diner Review №47

We ordered shrimp pad see ew and tofu panang curry. The tofu in the panang curry was fried, soggy, chewy and inedible. The panang curry also had no vegetables. The shrimp pad see ew had 2 shrimp total for $21. This is really bad quality.

Diner Review №48

I always get their drunken noodles which tastes really good and authentic.

Diner Review №49

The serving size of the soup (Tom Kha in this case) was terribly small for the price. It is not clear when ordering online that the soup portion is so small. The quality, however, is very good.

Diner Review №50

My go-to for Thai food. The menu is well labeled for allergies, and I’ve never been sick from their (gf) pad Thai! I love it here. The frosé is also delicious!!

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

Everything there is perfect, all the workers are super gentle.

From my point of view this place is a must, the space between tables and lighting is perfec, the duck roll will blow your mind.

They take care of every detail, smell great, and baths are super clean.

Both locations are perfect.

If you are looking for a place to go with friends, family, or even a date, here is. You will never regret it.

Diner Review №54

Cuisine très bonne et de qualité. Ambiance cosy et familiale.

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

The good was fantastic but hot. Love this place! Gluten free options on the menu which is a plus!

Diner Review №57

I had the pineapple fried rice. Delicious meal and great experience. Will definitely recommend and visit again.

Diner Review №58

Absolutely delightful! Beau Thai is definitely worthy of its reputation for having the best Thai food in DC -- I've been here a couple of times in the last year, and I've been thoroughly impressed by every dish that I've gotten, as well as by their consistency and quality. I'm absolutely in LOVE with their red curry, including their fall seasonal pumpkin red curry! It definitely packs a bit of a punch, but the spice is exactly what I need to warm my soul as the weather starts cooling down. It's flavorful, rich, and all-around the perfect remedy for any sickness or a tough day. I know this is a bit of a random thing to love, but I'm super happy with their brown rice -- it's perfectly cooked, with just the right level of moisture to be soft, but not mushy and dry, but not grainy. It tastes a bit earthy, likely because of the black rice / rice berry mixed in, and it fits perfectly with a curry or one of the saucier stir-fries.

Each of their stir fries are also deliciously flavorful. I've had all of them except for the chicken cashew and Scott's Favorite, and they're all amazing -- the pad pik king has an amazing chili sauce that is packed with umami and a light hint of spice. If you want a bit more heat, I would definitely go for the ka pao, which is packed with chilis, as well as super aromatic Thai basil and garlic. If you want something a bit lighter, the pad king is fantastic and filled with flavor from the ginger, mushrooms, and onions (such a power trio), or you can go with the sauteed vegetables with tofu and garlic. You can pick your protein for each of the stir fries (aside from the chicken cashew and Scott's favorite). I usually opt for adding tofu and then get a side of steamed veggies if I want to up my vegetable intake.

All in all, you really can't go wrong with a single item here! Every dish is delicious, and the service is friendly and quick. If you're looking for an amazing, authentic, and no-frills Thai restaurant in DC, definitely head over to Beau Thai!

Pad Thai was pretty mid

Diner Review №60

Really good place, the service is good and the food is delicious

Diner Review №61

Great Pad Thai and Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice. The service was great. As per location...7 people got shot across the street the night before so its may not be the best.

Diner Review №62

Lovely atmosphere and quick service. Food was very good

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

UPDATE: We've had a few let downs with the take out and don't order nearly as frequently anymore. Nothing terrible, but just not as good as it used to be.

Original: A staple of my take-out habit. Consistently delicious. Great place for a date.

Diner Review №65

Great Spicy food, i like it. Dont like it so much the next day though..

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

While visiting DC, I wanted to find some authentic Thai food, and Beau Thai delivered! I'm always looking for something similar to the pork neck dishes in Thailand, and their pork belly was pretty darn close. And the Pik King chicken was amazing!! Great food! Great service! Cool little spot!

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

Customer service was terrible. We came in a half hour before closing which we knew was tight but ordered right away. We were harassed every minute, got locked out in the rain as we were waiting for our uber, even though there were still diners inside...very strange and uncomfortable experience. I never write reviews...but this place stood out for terrible lack of customer service.

Gave the seafood fried rice a random try. This seems steamed and is super spicy. Was expecting an oily fried rice. Personally did not like it. Loss of $19

Food was good. Standard Thai. Ordered by DoorDash. Got the drunken noodles w/ pork. Would order again if craving Thai.

Diner Review №77

One of the best meal of our trip!
Great shrimp cakes, pandam curry and Scott’s favorite!
And fabulous drinks!

Diner Review №78

My go-to for Thai food in DC. The drunken noodles are the best and the steamed dumplings are always delicious.

Diner Review №82

This time food was good and service too, they close early and atmosphere it was noisy

Diner Review №83

Can’t pick up their phone, nor offer vegetarian options for their Tom Kha Soup.

Diner Review №84

This place is great! Check out the happy hour for a drink, but definitely stick around for dinner!

Diner Review №85

Their drunken noodles were spicy but so good!

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

The experience lives up to the hype. The food and drinks were delightful.

Diner Review №88

Food was good. Thank you good stuff.

Diner Review №89

My food was unsafe to eat. I ordered takeout from the restaurant. I got home and bite into my green chicken curry and I felt something stabbing my mouth. I thought it was a bone. I spit out the food and it was a staple in my chicken curry. I tried to contact the restaurant, but they were closed and their website didn’t allow me to submit that there was a problem with my order—or rather that it was unhealthy to eat. Extremely disappointed and glad I didn’t swallow the staple.

Diner Review №90

Bad service after their own mix up with nu take out delivery. Rude employee. Food was lackluster and overpriced with small portions.

Diner Review №91

Rude ppl nasty attitude

Diner Review №92

They charged us 20% tip automatically because we had a group of 5. No service at all (didn’t add water, didn’t ask if we liked the food, didn’t ask if we need anything). In fact, the waiters were rude while ordering dishes and checking out for us. The food is ok if you order the right one. We got Beau Thai Chicken, which was very few green beans and super over cooked fried chicken breast (thinly sliced). You basically have to chew 100 times for one thin piece of chicken. I told the waiter. The waiter didn’t say anything. Just took the plate away. If I were him, I would have told us that this dish was like this always. Maybe ask people if they want something else instead. 5 mins later, he brought back a dish that tastes the same. Then a senior employee came to ask us if the first chicken we got were too spicy. We told her no, it was just too rough. She walked away with a look on her face and didn’t say anything. I personally work in a service industry too. If you are not ok to apologise for your terrible food, then you don’t need to come to our table. Not to mention showing people your mean face. We are never coming back to this place.

Diner Review №93

The food and drinks were great, and reasonably priced.

Diner Review №94

My only regret is that I don’t live in this place. The server was amazing and patient with my sister and I. My sister is vegetarian and left very happy. We both had the drunken noodles. Hers came with tofu and mine had beef. We shared two appetizers. Spring rolls and I believe curry chick peas empanada. The food came out sooo fast. The drinks were also good. Honestly, hurry up and go now. Came to about $80 for our entrees, apps and drinks. Oh yea and the drunken noodles were made with love. I will be back.

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

One of the best Thai restaurants in D.C., especially if one is looking for some good fried tofu. I had the Pad See Ew with tofu and it was delicious! The staff were incredibly friendly, and while the restaurant is a little dark, it does have a cozy environment.

Diner Review №97

I live in Northern Virginia. A colleague at work recommended this restaurant to me and my wife. We are always up for a great dining experience. So we traveled to the District of Columbia to give this place to try. The spring and duck spring rolls were great, and our main entrées, the seafood fried rice, the Crab fried rice, and the dumplings, were delicious. The Crab fried rice was a first for me. I regret we didn't order more entrées to take home and try. We're going back again. If you're looking for something good and a different place to try in the Metropolitan area, give this place a shot. You will not be disappointed.

Diner Review №98

Ordered takeout and the portion size for green curry was extremely small - food was tasty but it was barely a full meal. Expected a better portion for $16

Diner Review №99

Authentic Thai food

Diner Review №100

Diner Review №101

The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the red curry with rice noodles on the side and while different it was the perfect mix between a soup and curry! It was quite spicy though so fair warning. The mango sticky rice was also amazing and highly recommend.

Diner Review №102

The pork belly is my guilty pleasure

Diner Review №103

Yummy dishes, 😋

Super good and affordable!

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

We went there tonight . Average restaurant for a over price. The waitress was very rushing and non friendly. We had to ask for water twice. I would suggest going elsewhere. Food is not something that we haven't had before

Diner Review №107

Awesome! We had Tom Ka soup (very nice - mild coconut flavor) Steamed dumplings. Yum! Massaman Curry (FANTASTIC) and the Pad King was delicious.

Diner Review №108

Service was great. Food just ok - I’ve had better Thai. Prices were reasonable.

Diner Review №109

Great experience at Beau Thai. Very friendly and courteous staff, fun, upbeat atmosphere, and the food was delicious. The chicken satay was the best I've ever had.

Diner Review №110

My boyfriend and I love this place. I love Thai foods as always because they share commonalities with Cambodia, culturally and traditionally. This restaurant is authentic to the north of Thailand and they made creative dishes. I love how they decorate the place. The price is reasonable except for the mango sticky rice I ordered home, which was so much less than I expected. However, would still love to go back again.

Diner Review №111

I was looking for a Thai place by Gallery Place and went here. Our server was great, there was lots of seating, and our food arrived very quickly. We ordered thai iced tea, green curry (had a bit of a kick which was perfect for me), and pad Thai. Service was very quick and attentive even when it got busier. Would recommend if you're looking for good Thai food in the area!

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

La comida está deliciosa y el personal es muy amable.
De los mejores lugares Thai en D.C. fuimos a comer con amigos y salimos todos muy satisfechos!

Diner Review №114

Dog friendly patio, delicious food, reasonable prices. The vegetables empanadas are out of this world. Delicious pad thai and tilapia. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №115

Good atmosphere. Friendly service staff. But it's slow to bring out food for a big party. My chicken was dry. My drunken noodles and pad thai were cold.

Diner Review №116

Very good tasty, Thai ice tea is very authentic

Diner Review №117

Beau Thai is our go-to for take away but we decided to try in person! The Spring Rolls and Pad See Ew held up, and while my boyfriend usually orders the Pad Thai or Drunken Noodles, he went for the KAO PAD NAM PRIK PAO (and asked for a side of sauce bc it was a little dry). Everything was great, our beers were great, our waiter was 100% stoned but still remembered to bring us water refills. I recommend this restaurant for dine-in or delivery.

Diner Review №118

AMAZING THAI FOOD! Must Go

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Diner Review №121

Found this gem on DoorDash and can say I was thoroughly pleased.

The packaging was sustainable and the food stayed hot well through delivery. I ordered the steamed dumplings and green curry with pork.

The dumplings were pretty decent. The green curry was savory and spicy; just what I needed on a rainy day. The only con to the dish was that the eggplant were cut really thick. Other than that, everything else was a perfect balance. There was just enough rice for the entire dish but didn’t soak up all of the curry. The pork was sliced thinly but great of even bites.

Diner Review №122

Delicious Food!! Drunken Noodles mmmm Spring Rolls and Calamari

Diner Review №123

We were super hyped about this place because it had 4.8 star rating with 12000+ reviews on DoorDash. However the food did not live up to its hype and was quite underwhelming.

We got the Panang curry, pad see ew and the spring rolls. The pad see ew had too much oyster sauce, the panang curry and spring rolls were pretty average.

The serving sizes of each dish was small. Also, note that although the restaurant closes at 9pm, their kitchen closes at 8:30pm so they don’t take people in for dine in after 8:30.

We have been to places with a similar price point and much better food so 3/5. Would not visit again.

Diner Review №124

My favorite order in meal or weekday happy hour. Audrey is my favorite bartender.

The food is so tasty, spicy and delicious

Diner Review №130

So disappointed in my takeout order. Ordered the wonton soup for $8 and it came in a laughably small container. Pad Thai was bland, too expensive, and not worth it. Will not be ordering from here again.

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

I’ve eaten at Beau Thai at least 15 times over the last year, and while their flavors are delicious, I found a hair in not one but three dishes, as well as a piece of plastic (possibly from a utensil) in a fourth. The inside of the restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly, which is why I continued to come back, but after the third time over the course of a year I unfortunately won’t be returning.

Diner Review №133

Diner Review №134

Worst sticky rice and mango ever. The coconut milk tasted way off and the server was arguing that it is good. Way too expensive for the quality of food served.

Diner Review №135

Diner Review №136

Really tasty Thai food!!!! HUGE portions of noodles! I got the pad see you

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

I loved this place. We stumbled upon this gem while visiting Washington and so glad we did. My friends and I tried the duck rolls, the steamed dumplings, fried rice & drunken noodles. My favorite had to be the duck rolls and & the steamed dumplings. They also had some crushed Thai spice we had asked for which was out of this world. Probably the best Thai spice I’ve ever had in my life coming from a New Yorker! The staff was also very friendly and welcoming which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was our last day in Washington and so glad we had our dinner here!

Diner Review №139

I went there for the first time today and had a really bad stomach ache after eating the Tom Kha soup. It was close to the restaurant closing time and the soup didn’t taste fresh. My first time here today and probably won’t come back

Diner Review №140

Avoid Duck rolls!They use to be amazing..Now just some sort of minced duck filler and a tortillia instead of the pancake they use to use my favorite item Now lost forever sad

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

Customer service was rude. I left immediately

Diner Review №143

Pretty good thai, forced tip of 20%.

Diner Review №144

I had the pork pad Thai. Huge bowl, delicious noodles, it was exactly the pad Thai I needed

Diner Review №145

I come here for professional one on one lunches because the food (especially shrimp dishes) are good and it's never too crowded at lunch time. I'm funny about eating indoors these days so I like that they're basically empty around that time.

Diner Review №146

Staff was friendly. It has a laid back atmosphere, feels a merge between fast casual and restaurant. The food was decent Thai.

Diner Review №147

Unprofessional hosts, long waiting time

Diner Review №148

Delicious spicy drunken noodles

Diner Review №149

Best curry in the city

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

EXCELLENT THAI FOOD. I love the green curry with tofu and or shrimp. Literally the only place I order tofu. Been coming here for years. I also love the pineapple fried rice and the shrimp rolls are a must try appetizer.

Diner Review №152

Excelente servicio, la comida es increíble, llena de sabores, la cerveza tailandesa es muy buena, lo recomiendo 100%.
Si sos amante de la comida picante, proba el panang curry

Diner Review №153

Good Thai food. Ate at the bar. Bar tender was nice.

Diner Review №154

Diner Review №155

I regularly order the Panang Curry from Thai restaurants and this one did not disappoint. It was very spicy and hands down one of the best house recipes I’ve tried. I ordered spring rolls as an appetizer with the Panang Curry chicken and shrimp. The service was great and the food came pretty quick.

Diner Review №156

Diner Review №157

Excellent customer service. My drunken noodles were too spicy so the waiter brought be a chai tea to calm the spice. He also moved an umbrella so we were not sitting in the sun. Entrees were healthy serving size and very affordable for DC.

Diner Review №158

The staff was great, but the food was Thai-inspired at best. We ordered 6 dishes and only one had good flavor. Very disappointing.

Diner Review №159

The food and service was great!

Diner Review №160

I do not recommend to dine in this restaurant. Employees are very rude and unprofessional. Food was disgusting. Restroom are very dirty and needs attention. Apparently, owner never controls quality of meals and cleanness of restaurant.

Diner Review №161

Diner Review №162

Tasty food, but one of our dishes was extremely hot in terms of chilies. I think it was just an error and they dropped too much chilli in our order. Otherwise, all other dishes were excellent. I would suggest trying to make the food more colorful for improvement rather than drowning everything in the brown color of soy sauce.

Diner Review №163

Everything we ordered (udom curry, tilapia, duck roll) was heavy on the sweet side, not flavor-fully balanced. The curry was all sweet with no depth of flavor. Duck roll had potential but they put way too much sweet sauce inside so it can almost pass as a dessert….

Diner Review №164

Visiting DC for the weekend. My son loves Thai food 😋 was lucky to find a restaurant near our hotel. The food was really good - spicy like we like it! I ordered the pad pik king because anything with ginger is a go to for me. My son ordered the drunken noodles with beef. Food was brought out nice and hot. The server greeted us with a smile and the bartender was very friendly.

Diner Review №165

Wonderful Thai food!! We ordered the spring rolls, drunken noodles and stir-fried eggplant! While they have a lot of great vegan options the eggplant is by far our favourite! We had a small issue with our order and the staff was very nice and helpful and resolved it for us! We can absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves Thai food!

Diner Review №166

Good food & great priced drinks!

I really liked this place. The soup and noodles were real good and the lady at the counter was real nice. Also ordered on Uber eats as welp

Diner Review №169

Best Thai restaurant in dc! They have great food and cocktails and always use fresh ingredients(!). Shrimp cakes, papaya salad, chicken drunken noodles, beau thai chicken, green & panang curry, and stir-fried eggplant are my favorites & go-tos. I also recommend shrimp in garlic sauce and Udom's curry. So good!

You know me and my love for Thai food!! Green curry here was AMAZING and Spicy 🔥 so be prepared when you order to feel the heat. I quenched my thirst with a yummy spicy Thai chili Margarita:) The girls loved their drunken noodles. Hubby enjoyed a Singha on tap which is a rare find. Service was excellent!!

Service and food is not good. I don’t know why this place got a high rates. Foods are super salty, you cant even taste anything aside from the salty sauce that they put. The price is expensive compare to others, i know this is DC but better check other thai restaurants, we always go to Baan Siam and tried something knee but now full of regrets.

Service was horrible! Super slow and unfriendly. We asked the server assistant (the one who delivered our food) if he could please take us a picture and he responded “im busy right now just wait for your server” WOW! And mind you. It’s not even that busy and there’s at least 3 girls by standing in front and the restaurant is not busy nor halfway full.

Such a disappointment!! Never again.

As a valued dasher, I make sure your orders are delivered on time and I am considered a contractor for you guys. With that being said, I think it’s really messed up that we’re denied bathroom usage bc “we’re not dining in.” It’s like telling your own employees that they can’t use the bathroom. I’d understand if I was loitering, but I’m working and picking up an order at your restaurant. I was recommending your place to many people, but will not longer do that if you’re just gonna exploit your contractors and not provide them fair usage of a necessity.

Came to order at 8:45 and say they stop taking orders at 8:30. Really upsetting when restaurants do that if their closing time says 9:00 pm

I came here and sat in the bar area for happy hour. I had a Singha beer on draft, Tom kha soup, spring rolls, and drunken noodles with beef. The Tom kha soup was perfect. A little bit sour, a little bit sweet Tlthe perfect balance. The spring rolls weren't as hot and crispy as I would've liked. Kinda tasted like they had been sitting there for a while. The drunken noodles were very yummy. Spicier than I expected which I loved. I'll be back to try the duck roll and dumplings.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our order arrived promptly and everything was delicious. We spoke with the manager, who was checking in on customers, and he expressed how happy he was that business was picking up again. Clean, simple but stylish restaurant.

This was my first time ordering from here and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of mixed vegetables offered and how they were cooked. They include green beans (cut into bite size pieces), asparagus (also bite size), and cauliflower, in addition to the more typical red pepper and broccoli. I was also happy to see they did not use green pepper, and they thinly slice their onion. The veggies were cooked well - not over done. And the dish was not greasy/oily.

Shrimp pad thai was very flavorful but the shrimp were extremely overcooked and was like biting into a piece of rubber. Not a good night. The soup could have been finessed instead of whole tomatoes and huge halves of mushrooms. The cook must have been tired

Delicious flavors, perfect textures. I got the Pad Thai with tofu and Tom Yum soup. By the time the delivery showed up it was cold, but I can’t fault the restaurant for that, and the microwave warm up was just fine. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №199

This place bad for business if you allergic to dairy products they don’t care they won’t take out the eggs if you ask they won’t modify your food so if you don’t eat or allergic to something they don’t care which is so wrong you can’t tell people what to spend they money on they give you 2 shrimps with so much rice I won’t recommend this place to anyone DONT GO DONT GO BAD FOR BUSINESS
