Great authentic food. Fast service regardless of the day and time. The alcoholic mix drinks are a little limited. And the lemonades/ tea are too sweet. However, the staff will work with you. The price of the meals are high starting above $23, but you will have food leftover. Everything looks so good I normally order at least 3 dishes. So, the cost might be my fault.

Great Food, Friendly Atmosphere, and Service with a smile.

Diner Review №7

Excellent. Just excellent. The food here is great. Everything was super tasty and reasonably priced. I will definitely be back

Diner Review №8

I have been a repeat customer for the last three years.
Their food is tasty, vegan friendly and they have never failed to accommodate my requirements.

Diner Review №9

This is the third time I've come here in the last two weeks and each time it gets better and better! The drinks, the food, the atmosphere, and the staff and service are TOP NOTCH. Today i had the pleasure of having Taylor as my host and she was fantastic, gave great menu advice and anticipated my needs before I even had to ask.

You simply must experience 5ense of thai for yourself, it won't disappoint!

Diner Review №10

We ate here at least once a week but raising lunch prices again to $18-19 was the last straw. There are plenty of just as good Thai places with better reviews that are a LOT cheaper.

Diner Review №11

Disappointed !! I wouldn't patronize this eatery if not because of the overrated reviews. Three dishes we ordered are so mediocre, the tiny table we were assigned to was barely fit for one dish, but Worst of all, I had to ask one staff for more paper towels to clean my table. I still paid 15% tip in the end.
My husband and I won't go back.

Diner Review №12

Really good Ramen. The house old fashioned was delicious

Diner Review №13

I wish I could give 5 stars on service. Our bartender moreau, or moreaux. Not sure how to spell it. But he was absolutely amazing. The night didn't get weird until a very rude bartender named "Claire" made ot very clear she was no longer interested in serving guests. Place says it closes at 2 and we were kicked out at 142am. Will not return

Diner Review №14

Such a wonderful place. Environment is good. Service is very quick even after being a busy place. Very clean.

Diner Review №15

If you're a food enthusiast like me, you have to visit Sense of Thai St. in Ashburn. I stumbled upon this Thai restaurant after a day of shopping at One Loudoun (Trader Joe’s for groceries and The Container Store for some organizing goodies), and it turned out to be the highlight of my day!

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the relaxed and family-friendly ambience. The decor is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a special dinner.

Now, let’s talk about the food – it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Lychee Duck Curry and Seafood Volcano, both of which were bursting with authentic Thai flavors. You could tell that the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and each dish was a delightful balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. The drinks were equally impressive – I tried their Old Fashioned, a specialty beverage that was refreshing, unique, and perfectly complemented the meal.

What truly set this experience apart, though, was the excellent service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of great food, drinks, and service, but Sense of Thai St. nailed it.

If you’re in the Ashburn area, do yourself a favor and stop by Sense of Thai St. It’s a culinary delight that I can’t wait to revisit. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №16

upon arrival, we entered and were awkwardly positioned at the front of the bar. without a host present, or designated wait area, we waited for about 7 mins to be greeted. your host when she showed up decided to greet the man next to my friend and i, completely ignoring us however did noticeably see us. i was surprised when the kind man actually admitted to the host that my friend and i were there before him, waiting longer, to when she still looked at us and did not help us right away- she continued to help him!
at that point, it was really awkward as all of us are paying guests, the only visual difference was our skin color - just being honest here.
when we finally sat, the server was clearly trying to go home. at first i thought he was an SA, he never mentioned who he was or even said hello. he was just there to basically wait on the table, that's it. he lacked so much personality it was honestly sad like maybe he is being tortured to be there or something, idk. the food was okay- i feel like for the cost it was super average. my favorite thing i ordered was the Lychee thai tea. besides that, i wouldn't order the calamari or chiang mai noodles again.
it kind of sucked because i met up with a friend i haven't seen for a year, we were so excited to see each other and i just reminisced on better experiences i have had - and we could have had - in this particular location.
you are at a higher end facility and chose to work in hospitality, just embrace it. that's my advice. and if you're sick of not making good money, better service = abundant reward.

Diner Review №17

Great family meal. Something for everyone! Ramen or pad Thai. All good and spicy means spicy

Diner Review №18

Sense if Thai used to be good not anymore we ordered take out last night I asked to add tofu to our veg fried rice which they didn’t I ordered two basil chicken fried rice they gave one right the other one was bland the rice in mango sticky rice was half cooked their taste of fried rice has gone downhill I asked for fish sauce they didn’t give in the evenings they are busy but that doesn’t mean sone customers get bad food .. very disappointing ….

The food came out hot and was very good. It took a while for our server to come and wait on use. When he did come, he was very attentive.

Diner Review №21

Great food, friendly staff, fun drinks and atmosphere

Diner Review №22

Love this spot! Our go to Thai place in Ashburn.

Diner Review №23

We hated our experience at Sense of Thai at Ashburn tonight. The servers were rude and service poor. Our Capaccino order arrived after over 30 mins after multiple reminders. Finally when it was delivered, no sugar or sugarfree was served on the side. My nephew had to go get it from the server table. None of them apologised for the delay. At the table, the server didn't refill my niece's glass and rolled her eyes at her for some reason. She didn't ask us for dessert or any other orders until we placed the order. The food was also overrated - the mangos in the mango sticky rice pudding we ordered were sour. No one came even to check on the tables in our corner. We had to get up to call them to draw their attention. I regret giving the server a 15% tip. It should have been more like 0%. I took my nieces out for a memorable experience but we found the restaurant totally over-rated and over-priced for the service we received. Either they were understaffed or servers just being snobs at certain tables. I am not recommending for anyone. If you still want to try the restaurant, go to the one in South Riding. Better ambience and polite staff.

Diner Review №24

We went on a busy Saturday night during the holiday season. Our server kind of disappeared for a bit, but the other staff were helpful. However, it took a while for us to try and order drinks and to address a missing app. With that being said everything was delicious and we can't wait to go back. The fried tofu was great, and the special pad thai was great I loved the crab meat in it. It wasn't very spicy which the menu said it was but they brought a spice tray so all was well! I can't remember the salad we got but it was very well balanced with a nice crunch. Everything was so good I seriously can't wait to go back and try more.

Diner Review №25

The food here is incredibly bland and lacks any distinct flavor. On top of that, the prices are outrageously high for the quality offered—it’s definitely not worth the money. To make matters worse, the service was slow and inattentive, leaving us feeling neglected. Overall, a very disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Diner Review №26

For the portion of the food we ordered, it was extremely over priced. We received less than a lunch size portion for $40. It was congested meaning the entrance and the eating area was like being in a sardine can. The area was tight. The service was decent.

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

The atmosphere is great!!! The food is super great if you like spicy food like me. But you also do have option for make it less spicy even no spicy. The drunken noodle is definitely my favorite!

Diner Review №29

Stopped in for brunch/lunch this morning! Service was great, food and decor were amazing! Kids loved the chicken and waffles, lettuce wraps were delightful, banana Nutella waffle was great for brunch! Will be back soon!

Diner Review №30

Bad food, terrible service.

Diner Review №31

This was one of the best yellow chicken curry I’ve ever had. I highly recommend trying the curry if you are into it. The friendly and attentive service, paired with the charming Christmas-themed décor, made the dining experience even better. I’ll definitely return to try other dishes.

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

service was worse than the food. food tasted like like premade bs.

Diner Review №34

I am at Sense of Thai so often, it’s a problem. I cannot seem to stop my addiction to their pineapple fried rice and Thai tea. I do like to come for the festive drinks and travel the menu (see Tom kha gai pictured). They just understand ambiance and quality are to be delivered together. It’s one of the very rare places you aren’t paying for the vibes and it is one of the best restaurants in NOVA that I am constantly recommending to friends and family. Their drinks alone are something to be lauded - they have really great, unique, and fun craft cocktails in even more fun cups. The presentation matches the quality. The absolute best time of year to visit is for Christmas when their decorations just excite and delight us all. No need to travel to a holiday pop up when you have one here.

Favorite things on the menu for me are:
Pineapple fried rice, crab fried rice, Thai tea, Thai tea crème brûlée, deep fried pork belly, braised pork Thai ramen, and the drunken noodles.

Honestly, you can’t go wrong. Enjoy!

Diner Review №35

Diner Review №36

Their food is delicious, we had the deep fried pork belly as the appetizer which was amazing. We also tried the lychee duck curry which was very tasty, the lychee added sweetest and it was unique, it was also pretty spicy which I like but it was too spicy for my husband. My husband ordered the basil duck which he really enjoyed and it had good flavor ( I thought it tasted heavy of sesame oil or maybe peanuts. The drinks were very unique and tasty, we tried the London Fog which is one of the best (new) cocktails I have had in a while, the Singh and the old Fashioned which were all great. The atmosphere was nice and lively and the music was well chosen. This place is definitely worth a visit.

Diner Review №37

We were there at the location on saturday, the server that was hosting us was the worst ever !! Rude and very unprofessional. Not worth a single star !!

Diner Review №38

Social group of 20 enjoyed lunch. Made reservation. Our server was wonderful and attentive. There is a regular menu and an additional lunch menu with a choice of appetizer and entree. Most of our group chose the lunch menu, all under $20.
The food was delicious and ample. Most of us asked for a container for our leftovers.
Vegan and vegetarian options. Able to accommodate dietary restrictions.
Large bar and lots of lunch diners.

One of my favorite places in Virginia! The food is great and the service is fast, Taylor is super sweet! They're also great with rotating their seasonal decorations, definitely worth a try!

Diner Review №54

One of the best Thai food in DMV area.

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Noon our server was absolutely excellent!

Diner Review №57

Our server was very aggressive. After I complained about the taste of my drink, she got upset. She tried to ignore us. Finally, I had to call the hostess, which was more polite and seemed to understand my problem. I hope for better service if I have a chance to come back here again but not anytime soon

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

Crab Rangoons are my absolute favorite, I hope they never take them off the menu!!!!! Everything here is good- drinks too. On the weekends they have a DJ and move the tables near the bar 10/10 love this place

Diner Review №60

Service is sucks… every one needs training including manger… I don’t think they care
They have no idea how to serve drinks

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

We absolutely love Sense of Thai for so many reasons! The food is delicious, with generous portions and always consistent in taste while the drink menu is extensive and unique. They care about quality, presentation, ambiance and experience- you rarely find that full package experience, at these price points, in an Asian restaurant. Usually there’s a trade off for one or the other but not at Sense of Thai South Riding, our new local gem one stop shop!

Diner Review №63

4.5 Rating. Good flavors. They add tons of vegetables to their fried rice and other dishes. Vegetarians can tailor and delicious food. Good service. Recommend.

Diner Review №64

I went for dinner last Saturday. The restaurant had a very nice host and the service was excellent. There's no problem with my food. The food tasted as good as before. But the prices are more expensive.

However, my problem was I found a small rat running past my table into the bathroom area. I have already informed staff about this. Please resolve this issue seriously.

Diner Review №65

I’ve been a fan of Sense of Thai for a while, but my recent experience was a big letdown. I ordered the Panang chicken, which I usually enjoy, but this time, I found a long hair in the dish.

Finding hair in food is always unpleasant, but it raises serious concerns about the kitchen’s hygiene. It completely ruined what should have been a nice meal. I hope this was just an unfortunate mistake, but it definitely made me reconsider ordering from here again.

I’d love to see more attention to cleanliness in the future because the food is usually great. For now, I’m hesitant to return. I also had a problem ordering. I asked three times what kind of seafood is in the Seafood Pad Thai, but the person kept asking if I wanted to order it instead. The person taking orders should have better understanding and communication skills.

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

It's frustrating to change my 5-year-old review of 5 stars to 1 but it's true. The food and service are still awesome. If it's past sundown, this place isn't a safe spot for females. This might be a larger problem in all of One Loudoun. Regardless, it's bad at this establishment.

Diner Review №68

Had a really bad experience. They advertise 3-6 pm happy hour. We ordered a drink and it was 90% ice and 10% liquid which was also completely watered down. The $ 6 appetizers were 3 small gyozo. The street fried rice was meh to say the least. Please stay away from happy hour if you have to go there. But there are better Thai choices in the area.

Diner Review №78

I ordered a lamb dish to-go and the bartender that took my order had a serious attitude and did not take the time to properly explain my order. Will never go back.

Diner Review №79

This place should get negative stars. My friend and I ate there on 8/17/2024 for lunch. He had the pork ramen and within hours became violently ill. Definitely a case of food poisoning! I had something different and was not affected. Dine there at your own risk. Personally, we will never return there.

Diner Review №80

This place is good and the hype is real. I really liked all the dishes they served. Papaya salad is my favorite and a must try IMO.

SENSE OF THAI는 One Loudoun에 위치한 인기 있는 태국 레스토랑입니다. 고객들 사이에서는 정통 태국 음식과 아늑한 분위기로 좋은 평가를 받고 있습니다. 특히 추천하는 메뉴는 다음과 같습니다:

1. **태국식 레드 커리**: 매운 맛과 깊은 풍미가 특징입니다.
2. **파드 타이**: 달콤하고 짭짤한 맛의 볶음 국수입니다.
3. **똠얌 꿍**: 새콤하고 매운 새우 스프가 인기가 많습니다.

레스토랑의 인테리어는 세련되면서도 편안한 분위기로, 식사 중에도 쾌적하게 느낄 수 있습니다. 서비스 또한 친절하고 세심하다는 평가를 받고 있습니다.

이 곳에서 식사 후에는 One Loudoun의 다양한 상점과 카페를 둘러보는 것도 좋습니다.

Diner Review №83

Recommended by a friend with whom we met there. I had the duck and lychee curry. I loved the flavors, the duck was over cooked by a mile (almost hard to chew), the crab fried rice was delicious. We also had coconut fried shrimp, which was really good. All in all I was happy to get a good Thai curry! Next time I will stick to chicken in the curry. While it's far for me I would go back again if in the area.

Best tasting duck curry. I was licking the bowl. Decor and food was on point. It’s not very comfortable seating and tables were small and very close together that I felt like I was dining with the people next to me. A little awkward as the couple next to us seem like they were on a date where they barely knew each other. Not like I was trying to listen but it’s hard when they are sitting 16 inches from me. Otherwise I’ll be back!

Diner Review №89

So good! Generous portions. Good waitstaff

Diner Review №90

This place is wonderful, and more selection than a typical Thai joint. My food was delicious. Thai hot was spicy, compared to other places that are not. Good job you guys!

Diner Review №91

Hands down best Thai restaurant in the U.S. Reasonable prices and big portions. Thank you

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

The food was delicious! But the service was appalling bad. I had to get out of my seat to go ask for my check and paid it at the bar. It was crowded for a Monday dinner but no one asked if I needed anything or checked in. Heads up!

Diner Review №94

This Thai place is amazing. The food is always tasty and delicious from the papaya salad to the pad Thai noodles.

Diner Review №95

The food is fantastic, we went to eat lunch with my husband and we ordered crispy tofu, braised pork ramen, pad-thai, and amazing mango sticky rice. Our waitress could do a better job.

Step right up!

La comida muy buena, personal fue amable, la comida se demoró más de 30 minutos en llegar, por lo que la experiencia no fue la mejor. Buena relación precio calidad.

Diner Review №106

I had lunch today. Generally ok. For two ppl to have lunch, you will probably use at least $60. Avocado Tum salad was too salty. Too much fish sauce in dressing. Ask for dressing on the side. Healthy roll was ok. Lychee cheese cake is so so. Thai coffee, I tasted hazelnut. My husband doesn’t like hazelnut, I had to finish it for him. Vibrant, busy place. I think it looks more fun for dinner when I saw some posts on Instagram.

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

Good food and service. The place was very busy.

Diner Review №109

Food was over cooked. Food was extra oily and the frying oil was overused.

Diner Review №110

Server was not very friendly or attentive, the food was much more spicy than expected - the table near us also said theirs was quite spicy unexpectedly. The outdoor seating is nice, the drinks are very expensive. The crab Rangoon was excellent, it's made with a won ton wrapper that made the thickness perfect.

Diner Review №111

I get the drunken noodles pretty often here, but I have noticed that the spicy level is pretty inconsistent. They let you choose how spicy you want your noodles, and I always choose the same level, but I have gotten drunken noodles that ranged from barely spicy to so spicy it was almost inedible. I also think their pickup service could be better, because I had my mom pick up my order a couple days ago and they had texted me to notify that my order was still being prepared in the kitchen after my mom had already returned home with my order.

Diner Review №112

Our favorite craft cocktail bar! Very talented bartenders here. We come during happy hour for “Dealer’s Choice” where we enjoy a new, unique cocktail every time based on our preferences, “chocolate sour”, “something with Yellow Chartreuse”, “smokey sour”, etc.

Diner Review №113

So good! I've been here a few times and I've never been disappointed. They have amazing pad thai, great atmosphere, friendly staff - highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the area.

Diner Review №127

These are one of those places that is ruined by rude wait staff. Our server was very unpleasant. It was like we were a burden to her. No hi, no smile and just a RBF. When we asked for our check she said okay and never came back. After 30 min I walked to the front to ask where I check was. The manager told us our server left for the day...so she left knowing we wanted our checks and never asked anyone to get it for us.

Sense of Thai in Ashburn is a top choice for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. Known for its friendly service and richly flavorful dishes, you can't go wrong with staples like their Pad Thai or Green Curry. The restaurant is popular and tends to be busy around lunch and dinner—particularly on Fridays—so planning ahead with a reservation is advisable to avoid waiting. Highly recommended for a delicious and satisfying dining experience!

Diner Review №134

Atmosphere is great. Certain items were great like the galangal soup and cashew chicken but the pad see ew and drunken noodles and shrimp were very overdone and extremely slimy which was not at all what I’m used to or expecting for the high price point. They were inedible at best and all members of the party I was in agreed. When the server, Joke (ironically), asked how things were and we started telling him about it, he simply walked away mid sentence and refused to communicate beyond that. Clearly not the field for him. I have rarely ever actually experienced service that bad. This place had definite potential and I’m sure there are some items that are great but some clear Thai staples were just not even close. Even the Thai tea was sub par. Pre mix would have been better. I have been to countless Thai restaurants, look elsewhere if you’re looking for something more authentic or a better experience. I expected much better for the price point.

Diner Review №135

The place is beautiful but unfortunately, the food wasn’t the greatest. When we tried to speak to the server about it, he walked away from us mid sentence. I don’t recommend.

Diner Review №136

Bad experience with the server and the noodles. Everything seemed to be overcooked. We tried to express this to our server, and they walked away mid sentence. The cashew chicken was good but probably won't come here again. It's too expensive for what you get as well.

Diner Review №137

We weren't allowed to sit outside, the food was mid at best, and when we voiced our complaints to our waiter, he left mid-conversation. So that's good. Loved that 🙄

Diner Review №138

Can't wait to get back!!!

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

Street fried rice is so salty. The boiled egg along with the pepperoni seemed like it was dipped in a salt bath. Most over 80 percent of their food is like this.

Diner Review №141

The best Thai food we have had in a long time worthy of remembering.
Top notch food when it comes to taste, quality and freshness of ingredients and equally fast service considering this place gets “really” busy on weekends.

We tried and would recommend all of the following dishes : crab Rangoon, healthy wrap, steamed dumplings, Chili pig (was awesome), spicy basil chicken and creme brulle.

If at all anything to pick on, I would day the portion of the starter dishes could be little bit more generous.

Highly recommended.

** Prices are on higher end considering the portion size, but you won’t regret.

The food was fine, but very disappointed about the service. Our server (the girl with golden hair)was so rude, she was so unhappy to serve us. She talked like yelling. When asked for something, she just stared at us and acted like we disturbed her and kept talking with her friend!
I used to enjoy it, next time if she serves us again, I will ask to change the waiter.

We got the green curry and Hang over lo mein and both were great! The green curry was quite delicious, not vegan as they use oyster sauce. The hang over lo mein was quite unique and they used cherry tomatoes which brought a very different flavor. Would definitely recommend this place. The place was popping on a Monday night as well!!

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

We went here for dinner on a Friday night, and the place was super lively. Of the various dishes we ordered, I think the street fried rice was the best, packaged with veggies and a flavor bomb, highly recommend it. The service was very quick and the staff was friendly! This place is definitely a must try if you are looking for authentic Thai food!

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

We eat here a lot through delivery. Today, we received a somewhat wrong order. One item was different. It happens. We didn’t worry about it and said nothing. 15 minutes later, our doorbell rang with the another package replacing the order with the correct item.

Sincerely shocked. Thank you. That is the business they have. They correct their mistakes without even asking.

Food is always great. Maybe I’ll even order the mistaken item myself! A vegetarian spring roll… and I am definitely not a vegetarian person.

I love Crab meat fried rice here so delicious.

Diner Review №156

I've visited Sense of Thai a couple of times at One Loudoun and enjoyed each visit! Most recently, for a starter, I ordered Tom Yum Soup with chicken, which was delicious, and the flavours were as expected, spicy and a little tangy. For the main dish, I ordered Green Curry with beef, which had a good consistency; the curry wasn't too runny or thick, and didn't have an overwhelming coconut milk flavour, which sometimes Thai cuisine can have! The portion sizes are also quite generous in my opinion, and the staff are very friendly and prompt. The restaurant is always clean, and located at One Loudon, which is a great location for dining and shopping. Sense of Thai seems to be one of the best Thai restaurants in Loudoun County that I have visited so far, thank you.

Diner Review №157

Food was good but service was very slow.

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №159

Decent Thai food. It is not that spicy tbh. Tried Tom kha gayi soup and typical cashew chicken. Was good. Nice service as well.

Pro tip: try the lunch menu

Diner Review №160

The culinary offerings and presentation at the restaurant were satisfactory, yet the overall dining experience suffered due to subpar treatment from the waitstaff. Despite our celebration of a birthday, there was a notable absence of a warm welcome, and the sticky floor proved to be quite off-putting. Our anticipation for the main course was met with a lackluster response, as the waiter, without inquiry, swiftly retrieved the menu cards. This indifferent handling left us disappointed, as the potential for a memorable evening was overshadowed by the underwhelming service.

As we settled into our seats, the absence of a greeting for our celebratory occasion was a noticeable omission. It’s often the small gestures that contribute significantly to the overall atmosphere of a dining establishment, and the oversight in this regard detracted from our experience. The sticky floor further dampened our enthusiasm, as it suggested a lapse in cleanliness that was hard to ignore.

Moreover, when we expressed our intention to order the main course at a later time, the waiter’s lack of engagement was palpable. Instead of inquiring about our preferences or offering suggestions, the menu cards were abruptly snatched away, leaving us feeling rushed and undervalued as patrons.

While the food and its presentation were commendable, the service lapses significantly impacted the overall impression of the dining affair. Despite the restaurant’s culinary merits, the need for attentive and considerate service is paramount in creating a truly satisfying dining experience.

Wonderful green curry fried rice w/ shrimp (it will clear your sinuses, in a good way), cry baby noodles, chili garlic pork, green curry pork, and spicy Basil. Crab Rangoon, spring rolls, n steamed dumplings are excellent. Had lychee cheesecake, coconut banana n blueberries cheese pie for dessert. We look forward to coming back soon.

Rude staff, all the dishes had sweet taste in it. They didn’t tasted like how they should have been. The staff didn’t had courtesy to explain the dishes upon asking. I would not go here again and would not recommend if you are looking for good thai food

Diner Review №164

Food was overpriced small portions and terrible taste no authenticity. Service was terrible server kept walking while trying to order. Honey shrimp was little to no shrimp taste all honey no flavor. Crying tiger was an accurate name because of how disappointing it was.
5 small dumplings for 15 dollars. Drinks were no under portioned so you have to by more. 6.50 for a cup of iceamade (lemonade) OUTRAGEOUS do not recommend

Beware ! You will be addicted to this place !

This place has become my favorite Thai restaurant in NoVa. The blend of flavor, spice and freshness is consistent. That’s not true from what have been my favorites. The spicy basil, eggplant, red curry and pad Thai are awesome. The cocktails are also unique and very good. Highly recommended. If you are there on the weekends late, they open up to dancing. Love it.

The seating could be more accommodative. Slightly cramped for leg room and space.

It is so authentic Thai food! I’m still dreaming of my papaya salad. It gave me a throwback when I was in Thailand. I’m definitely coming back! Thank you!!

My husband and I had a rare night out without the kids so we decided to try a restaurant than is a little outside our normal comfort spots of steak, Italian, Mexican or Americna cuisine. I am a fan of Thai food, and I never get it, so I suggested we try Sense of Thai. And boy we will be back! I cnet wait to try other things on the menu!

We waited only a short bit (10-20 minutes) to be seated, which isn’t bad considering it is Friday night. The place is crowded for sure and we sat at at a two too that was lined with other two tops along the whole wall… one side bench seats and the other chairs. So if you don’t like to be cozy with other diners this might not be your spot. Unless you request and want to wait for one of the booths along the window.

We ordered the Heaven Beef with sticky rice as an appetizer and it was yummy! I could have had a whole meal of it! It comes with a sriracha dipping sauce which, of course, is great. For out meals I had the Chumphon Pad Thai and my husband had the Crying Tiger. The Pad Thai is listed in the menu as a “Best of NOVA” winner so I figured it must be good. Both dishes are spicy but I am a person who loves spicy so that was fine with me!

When our meals came out I was amazed at the portion size! A pile of noodles covered with a fried rice egg like it was wrapped in it. And it was so good! Temperature was great and so was the spice. There was so much that I couldn’t eat it all and brought it home for lunch the next day.

My husband also enjoyed his Crying Tiger (flank steak) but he is not as big a fan as spicy so couldn’t eat it all. I tasted it and thought it was perfect. But he did save it for the next day! His portion was definitely something that could have been eaten in one sitting. It also comes with sticky rice or you could choose steamed veggies.

Our waitress was polite and prompt. We had no issues with service.

We will definitely be back when in One Loudoun. And I think, thanks to this place, my husband is no longer unsure of Thai restaurants.

Boycott senseless Thai!!!!!!! The staff, the management, and especially the bouncers!!! Sick sad low life people!

Diner Review №180

Everything was awesome..whether it’s food, atmosphere or the service. Good thing is that they have variety of vegetarian options. Definitely, will visit again ☺️

Diner Review №181

Food was fantastic and the large portion size was and additional plus. Kitchen actually closes at 10 pm, only the bar is open until midnight. Voices bounce off the wall a lot so it can get loud very quickly.

Diner Review №182

The food is great , and the portion is getting smaller. Though it is very noisy ,music is so loud that ⅞the bar is out of control,sitting out in the summer

Diner Review №183

I've been here a few times and it's always awesome. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the food was outstanding. I always get the Heavenly Beef as a starter and it's always delicious. My 7 year old loved the chicken satay. I always try to get something different each time I come here. This time was the Kapow Chicken Fried Rice and that was delicious. The lemonade was outstanding! Great stuff here!

Diner Review №184

We're a convert. Our go to Thai place was usually in Brambleton but we decided to come here for the Holiday decor.

Everything blew us away. Delicious Healthy Rolls, Crab Rangoons, Drunken Noodles, and Pork Thai Ramen. Will definitely be back to compare in the New Year.

Diner Review №185

Everything was perfect.

Diner Review №186

Sense of Thai blew me away!! I had their drunken noodles months ago and it still remains to be one of my favorite things I’ve had at a restaurant. The restaurants energy is also really lively! Been a while since i’ve been there but i recommend!

Diner Review №187

Came around the holidays and enjoyed themed craft cocktails and yum food! Consistently the best Thai in the area, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Seriously.

Diner Review №189

Bad service, expensive, bad taste, and long wait. We couldn't even finish one pad thai for two people and we had to wait about 30 mins to get our dish. I understand it’s busy season, but I even had to find our server to get our water.

Diner Review №195

This place is again one of my favorite Thai places in One Loudoun. food is delicious and have vegetarian options. The only thing I wish they start taking reservations. Only because of this reason go to other Thai places near One Loudoun.

Diner Review №196

Best Thai around without a doubt. Always great food and service. If you have any allergies they are very good with adapting the dishes to accommodate. Wife is gluten free and they always get it right. Will continue to come back. Recommend: Pad Thai Gai, LEMONGRASS SOUP-incredible especially when sick.

Love this place! Always a great vibe, nice decorations and good food. It gets busy and loud on the weekends so be prepared.

Diner Review №200

I recently had the pleasure of dining, with my family, at this wonderful Thai restaurant that was delightfully decorated for Christmas, atmosphere cozy and festive. The twinkling lights, holiday music playing. Waiters and waitresses were wearing holiday themed attire. A perfect spot to enjoy a meal with friends and family! The food was outstanding . The flavor combinations were perfect with a good balance of spices and sweet. Overall a great experience.
