Excellent food, and the service was top-notch; thanks, Tom. I visited Thailand, and I've longed to return. Visiting this restaurant & having the pleasure to meet Manote made me feel like I found a piece of Thailand right here. He was also nice enough to welcome me back "home" here. ขอพระเจ้าอวยพรคุณ “kho phra jao uay porn khun” 🤗
A nice little Thai place. The food was good, I ordered the pineapple fried rice with pork Thai spicy. The fried rice was good, pork was cooked well and it was a good portion size and the ingredients tasted fresh. The curry puffs were light and looked like they were made in house, they had a lighter flavor which was good. I prefer a stronger flavor but I would get them again. The service was great, the server was helpful and always had a smile.
The Thai dishes are very flavorful and the spicy dishes come with a nice punch!
The Pad Thai has an extra flavor of citrus (lemon) which allows you to have more and more without feeling heavy.
You can taste the "wok heat" from the Pad See Ew dish. The spice will wake you up but you don't suffer.
The folks there are super nice and friendly. This is a revisit spot for sure.
U-SA Thai is taking over the game. I’d rank it as one of the best Thai restaurants in Fairfax. The food is nice and hot, and not to mention fresh. The flavors are point, I definitely recommend the Tom Kha Soup. The only downside for me personally is that the portion sizes are a bit smaller, so you must fill up on appetizers as well. The owner is very friendly, the ambiance is excellent and the food is fantastic.
My family and I love coming here to eat. We get the Garlic Delight with Tofu and Beef, Paradise Chicken and the Shrimp Rolls as an appetizer. Every dish is hot, fresh and delicious; the staff is super attentive and friendly; and the dining room is clean and nicely decorated. You MUST try this place! It’s the best and most authentic Thai food I’ve had in the area!
One of, if not the best Thai restaurant in the DMV area. The flavors are authentic, the food is fresh and the portions are perfect. The service is top notch and food flies out of the kitchen quickly. Staffs are friendly. You never wait long, whether dining in or carrying out. give this place a go. It's worth it. Last but not least, chef specials are fantastic we really love Seafood curry, Kana Krispy pork, Duck and Shrimp Tamarine, and Rainbow Tilapia. We will definitely come back again. 😄😍
I ordered delivery on a Friday evening since I wanted to try another area Thai eatery. Online ordering proved rather easy, and my food arrived on time and dropped at my door as i instructed. My order consisted of dumplings and larb gai as appetizers, ginger garden with added beef and broccoli, and sweet sticky rice with mango and fried bananas and ice cream for desserts.
The food overall served flavors to which I was looking forward and with which I am familiar from prior Thai eating experiences. The dumplings have a different texture and look to Chinese dumplings. I liked the steamed not fried preparation and the amount of filling to dumpling. I requested no soy sauce for taste preference, and I got a sweet chili sauce instead without asking which went well with the dumplings. The larb gai was just as I wanted with a bright acidic taste and just the right amount of chili heat for me. The ginger garden main proved every bit of its title with ginger aroma and flavor coming through. I actually was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the brown rice which I could have eaten on its own to enjoy its earthiness that much more. The right amount of brown sauce complimented the nicely and crisply cooked, not overdone vegetables. The sticky rice and mango tasted good with the mango being just ripe enough to enjoy the sweetness of this fruit. The sticky rice seemed a bit too sticky and gelatinous for my taste, as I had some trouble cutting through the rice with a fork. Perhaps having this dessert in person where the rice might be warm solves this very minor point. The ice cream had a few ice crystals inside which made me feel good about getting what I hope was in-house dairy to go with fried banana which again may be helped by me dining in rather than taking away this dessert.
My bill came totalled just under $70 including tax and tip, so I suppose the value was appropriate given the inflationary pressures on food prices these days. I could be tempted to try one of their curries next time and maybe different salads like one or two with papaya that caught my eye from the menu. Otherwise this place strikes me as fitting in with most any Thai eatery in the area for quality and value.
Best Thai food I've had since moving to Centreville. Service was even better than the food, will definetly be back :)

Good flavor and pad see ew
All the food we got was delicious. Their Thai coffee and Thai tea are good. Music was a little loud for just a few patrons, but staff and service were superb.

My wife and I visited here for the first time. We got dumplings, spring rolls, papaya salad, green curry, nam tok absolutely delicious and the staff treated us like family. Music was great too. Must stop here if you haven’t yet!
Love the spicy basil beef fried rice. There is a lot to try here at this food place.
Average food taste, give less quantity of food for the price they charge.
Last minute decision to grab to go Thai Food.
Incredibly happy with my decision.
Not very adventurous but delicious - Chicken Pad Thai and Papaya salad. Asked for a beer while a waited , assuming it would take 20 minutes.
Took about 10 minutes, could not be happier.
Young lady taking the order was incredibly nice and attentive. The food was delicious, would not have changed anything.
If you have not already give them a chance and you will be full and happy.
Dine with confidence - enjoy
First time here and we did take out. The staff is friendly but I disagree with everyone saying they are the best Thai place, I have had a few in the area and that is not true. The Crying Tiger was so tasteless I almost did cry and my dog would not eat the small piece of meat I offered him. The spicy eggplant dish was good and my boyfriend was nice enough to share with me. I would definitely order that again.
Disappointing curry, had raw potatoes in it and the owner kept saying that’s how they cook their curry which didn’t really make any sense as all the curries I’ve had have always been soft potatoes (not crunch like an apple). Ended up not being able to eat it.
Got it to go for family, still very yummy, very satisfying. We always have allergy changes to make, and they didn't get anything wrong, which is always nice. The drunken noodles are VERY spicy. Even the guy used to spice was struggling through them (still happy with the order, but heads up for people on the fence about spice)
This place is amazing. All the food is authentic and tastes homemade. We had fried tofu, wonton soup and their version of orange chicken (paradise chicken). Everything was delicious and premium.
We ordered several dishes based on suggestions from staff. They were flavorful but the portions were quite small compare to others in the area. We closed our bill and went next door to get a heartier meal
very good
Food was good. Liked the choice of spice level.

Such a wonderful experience!!! Great service, such a cozy and homey atmosphere. Loved the food and I tried the Thai tea as well , it was delicious. The service was incredible and everybody is very funny kind and amiable. Definitely recommend this place for a try, check it out!!
I had the Pad Sea Eww and it was fresh and delicious. The staff are very nice and friendly as well. Highly recommended!
An authentic Thai Restaurant using the freshest ingredients. The spring rolls are the best! I went safe with with chicken Pad Thai which was outstanding. The only problem is I live in Florida and only visit this area once a year. However we will not come back to the area without dining here at least once if not twice each time.
Crispy Duck Basil was delicious. Super friendly.
When I had the spring rolls and pad thai, I immediately had a smile on my face :)
The server is very polite as well. Best Thai place in Fairfax that I know of so far! Will be coming back again :)
Loved their Pad Thai and Pad See Eew
The only authentic Thai restaurant around Fairfax. I love their spring rolls and they make them from scratch. The prices are really great and it’s a treat for anyone looking to have authentic Thai food
Ordered 3 things, two of them were great but the pad thai smelled absolutely horrid. It smelled like something died in it. They refunded the pad thai but that didn't make up for my friend's stomach ache after only taking 2 bites.
This is a cozy little place nestled in a strip of other Asian offerings. The food is top notch and typically comes out fast, while the staff really pays attention to detail to try and enhance every aspect of your experience. The ownership are some of the nicest people you could ever meet and it's obvious that they love Thai culture and take pride in what they do.
Delicious food with very friendly, family like service and atmosphere. The iced tea is amazing.
My husband and I have been here multiple times. But during the last two visits, one of the servers made us feel uncomfortable. My husband and I were talking in English and Korean interchangeably. Then, this server came and asked what language we were speaking and proceeded to say my English was good. He kept on trying to talk to us when we wanted to left alone. He doesn't read social cues. This happened twice and I saw him doing the same to other customers too. It's just off-putting and the "your English is good" is racist. I like their food but won't be back for awhile. I hope the management reads this.
Ordered Tom Yum soup, basil chicken fried rice, beef with broccoli, pork and green beans (kappow. Food was not authentic. Flavors were off especially the soup, meat was dried out. Would not return.
I eat out a lot... this is by far the best Thai restaurant in Northern Virginia!
Great Thai curry!
We love all the delicious authentic foods at U-SA Thai Restaurant.
Like home cooking, we visit at least twice
In a week.
Come to Taste of it, they have best service and make yourself just like at home.
Very tasty food and excellent service.
A nice little Thai place. The food was good, I ordered the pineapple fried rice with pork Thai spicy. The fried rice was good, pork was cooked well and it was a good portion size and the ingredients tasted fresh. The curry puffs were light and looked like they were made in house, they had a lighter flavor which was good. I prefer a stronger flavor but I would get them again. The service was great, the server was helpful and always had a smile.
Good food, great dine-in restaurant with fantastic service! Many dishes offer vegetarian substitutes. Not sure why it’s often empty inside, but that’s a good thing if you want a nice quiet atmosphere where you don’t need to shout to be heard. A bit on the pricy side, but more authentic than most.
I used to come here often for their pad thai. It used to be absolutely delicious--the best pad thai I'd ever had. However, after the re-branding the quality has gone down, and the prices have gone up. The portion sizes have always been small, but it used to be worth it. Sad.
Food was outstanding. I had the basil fried rice it was some of the best I've had. Great little cozy place. I highly recommend it.
Unfortunately the quality and taste of the food has declined a lot since the rebranding (or whatever it was) from Busaba. This used to be my favorite go to Thai restaurant in the area. But now everything I get has no flavor except for the burnt flavor it gets from the skillet. I've tried multiple dishes and all are the dame. So sad. Will not be ordering or dining here again.
This is a great place...doesn't come across as high-end from the outside, but the food was amazing!
We ordered 2 takeout dishes yesterday and both tasted like an entire bottle of salt was dumped in!
I don't know if it was an accident or someone did a mistake on the recipe, or maybe the chef is sick? But we couldn't eat ours. It was pure salt, had to throw both away. Waste of money. Will not order from here ever again.
We ordered chef's special ka prow, basil fried rice and kids fried rice, all with chicken. Kid's fried rice was flavorful, mellow and perfect for the little one. Basil fried rice and chef's special ka prow were delicious. Pleasant ambience. Very friendly staff. They had high chair and provided us with cutlery that were toddler friendly.
I liked most dishes I’ve tried, especially the spicy eggplant. I don’t recommend the pad see ew — it’s dry, noodles are gummy and the vegetables are basically stems. Will go back but won’t order that again because it’s a waste of money.
Ordered veg fried rice and it was delicious. Small dine in area but quality food.
We heard a lot about the Drunken Noodles, so we made sure to get one, and I added the crying tiger out of curiosity. The first one was flavorful but a little oily. The other one is spicy and dry with a very tiny portion of glutinous rice in a cute basket. The service is superb and the food presentation is very good. We ordered lomein, also oily. Go easy on your oil please.
I'm not Thai, but I worked at a Thai restaurant for 4 years, and maybe I got used to the way the cook prepared the food at my old job. I understand cooks are different. I ordered drunken noodle. I'm aware the portions tend to be small, but it was smaller than expected. It wasn't bad, but not as good as I was expecting. Again comparing it to my old job. The Thai tea, for $5 I would think it would get filled to the top, but it's a little more than half a cup if you order with no ice 🙄.. before I left my old job, I bought a few boxes of Thai tea. Still have some at home. Will make me some later
The gf and I have both ordered the chicken Ka Prow from here on several different occasions so far. Each time it has been delicious. The Thai dumplings are also great as is the Thai iced tea. Clean interior, friendly staff. Will be regulars.
Food was good and seem fresh but the temperature of the food could have been hotter. I'll still would go back! Portion size very small and was not even have in the container, less than half. Came again, November 27th this, is a new post for November 27th. Food was terrible, warm and not hot. Chicken tasted old. Staff was rude, small portions as always. We usually come here, but today was different. Did a online , order, the girl had my food and instead of handing me my food , she pass me to put it on the counter.
My first time visiting this place. very very nice restaurant. I was very impressed with the service that they provided. I will definitely be coming back.
Great food and good service. Liked the layout a lot
Hidden gem we weren’t aware of. Worth visiting. Great food, fantastic service, serving size generous, and prices are reasonable. Food was delicious!
Great atmosphere and customer service. We had Pad See Ew, Drunken noodles and seafood curry. They were all very good.
Everything I've gotten so far has been A+! Plus, everyone that works there is so friendly. They also deliver!
Good service
My go-to place for thai food! I've tried many of the thai food places in the Fairfax area and this is my place. ❤️
I've been going to this place waay before the new management--when it was Busara. Now I'm happy the new team is even better than the old one. It doesn't matter if you dine in or take out; the food is always great tasting.
I've had (not at one sitting): the Pad Thai, Garlic delight, the Crab fried rice, satay, kana crispy pork (my favorite) , any of the Tom Yum, Rainbow Tilapia. Etc.
All delicious. All exceptional.
Today I had a craving for Thai food. I ordered take out. I'm glad that I read reviews and found this place. I'm a big fan of Thai spicy dishes. U-SA Thai sastified my palate. It is my first time trying a Pad Cha seafood and I love it. It is very tasty and spicy. Now It becomes one of my favorite dish besides Pad Kapow. I will definitely order from them again.
Hidden gem. This place has great food, great service and good location. I am impressed.
This place is one of the best Thai restaurants around this area. Their food consistently tastes amazing and they always keep the place clean. Food comes out relatively fast so it's great for both take out and dine in.
The one waitress that's always there is very kind. She's diligent and provides consistent, high quality service.
I cannot believe we actually found another Thai restaurant that has great service and food! Trust me, a lot of places just do not know how to cook or don't care. This place is different. So glad to have found it.
ok
Amazing service amazing food!
The pad see ew with very less meat.
Noodle is too thick.
Located right next to Great Wall and Yi Fang- perfect place for takeout and dining in! The decor and atmosphere is lovely, and the staff here is extremely friendly and efficient. The Chicken Basil was unique and had a nice crunch too and and a good dipping sauce! The egg rolls are very fulfilling in itself and has a perfect fried golden crust. The noodles here like the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles have been very tasty and flavorful. Overall i love this place! I think the employees here make the cherry on top since they’re always so sweet and have awesome service c: Can’t wait to try more of the menu like the Soft Shell Crabs and Duck Curry!
P.S. They decorate their togo boxes :) Every time I order takeout, I can’t help but snap a pic of the boxes~ I love the attention to detail!
Always tough finding a new Thai restaurant but this one was awesome! The reviews didn’t steer me wrong. Pad Thai, Panang and red curry were all delicious. We will definitely order again.
This Family ran Thai is great! The staff is awesome as well as the food… especially the “Rainbow Fish” special.
Such good food! I got a crispy beef dish off the chef's special menu per the waitress' suggestion. Delish! My friend got the orange chicken and it was so crispy and the best I've ever had.
Check it out! You won't be disappointed.
The food is fresh and flavorful, the service is very friendly, the restaurant is clean and spacious - it's a win! The lo mein is delicious and not like other places.
Super quality food.

My husband and I absolutely love Busaba Thai! Best Thai food in the area!
One of, if not the best Thai restaurant in the DMV area. The flavors are authentic, the food is fresh and the portions are perfect. The service is top notch and food flies out of the kitchen quickly. Staffs are friendly. You never wait long, whether dining in or carrying out. give this place a go. It's worth it. Last but not least, chef specials are fantastic we really love Seafood curry, Kana Krispy pork, Duck and Shrimp Tamarine, and Rainbow Tilapia. We will definitely come back again. 😄😍
This Thai food is great 👍
Been trying to find the Pad Thai flavor we are looking for by trying out different Thai places nearby. Busaba nailed it! We also ordered Spicy Eggplant with Pork. Both dishes were fresh tasting and flavorful. We will definitely go back again and support our new favorite Thai restaurant.
I've been searching for a decent Thai restaurant in the area for a while now and recently came across this place with a small, curated menu of authentic Thai dishes under their specialty tab.
I got the Crispy Basil Chicken, which was a new take on the traditional stir-fried basil chicken that was crispy, juicy with just enough spice to not overwhelm the other flavors. I would highly recommend this dish, as I've already gone back twice since this review.
UPDATE:
I went back twice after my first experience and noticed the quality was not the same as the first time with other dishes like pad Thai or curries. I will now only recommend getting the spicy crispy basil chicken.
Appetizers and lunch were delicious! Pad Thai and Krispy chicken was flavorful and just spicy enough. Will be back soon!
Terrible Thai Food
We just ordered from Busaba tonight for takeout and it is by far the worst Thai food I have ever had. I really like Thai Food so I’m really disappointed. The chicken pad Thai, which should be a staple, was dry and tasted like it was cooked with barbecue sauce. Just overall a disappointing experience…
Food was done right! For all my spice lords, this place has an excellent spicy taste for their food! Fresh and great atmosphere. Thanks for the great food and customer service!
Great tasting food, in a nice atmosphere, with a very friendly staff. I've eaten there twice, and both times were wonderful! Good prices too!
Really enjoyed the lo mein drunken noodles and the curry puffs. Food tasted very fresh as well.
Excellent food and excellent service. Server forgot my Thai coffee so they included it for free. At a time when service has really deteriorated, it's just nice to see a smaller operation really trying to be hospitable and go above and beyond. I hope this place has much success.
Ordered the drunken chicken noodles and Thai tea. The chicken was hard and dry and wasn’t a fresh one definitely. The noodles were stuck together like a ball and wouldn’t separate unless forcefully done. Thai tea tasted like Cardboard and there was no tea and milk separately. Thai Tea is an art and it didn’t look like they could do one perfectly. This is my perspective and opinion
WORST FOOD.
TODAY I ORDER
1. TOM YUM SOUP : I WANTED SHRIMP , SO I PAID EXTRA $2. BY THE WAY,THERE WERE ONLY THREE FROZEN SHRIMP AND THREE SMALL MUSHROOMS. IT WAS JUST FULL OF WATER .
2. THAI SPICY RED CURRY : I ORDERED THAI SPICY BUT IT WAS REALLY SWEET TASTE. THE AMOUNT OF FOOD WAS REALLY SMALL.
3. SPICY CRISPY CHICKEN BASIL : IT WAS WORST TOO. THE CHICKEN WAS HARD AND SOGGY. I CAN'T SEE BASIL. VAGETABLES NOT FRESH.
LOOKS LIKE FROZEN FOOD SOLD AT THE SUPERMARKET SEEMED TO HEATED IN A MICROWAVE OVEN.
I SPENT $45 ON THIS RUBBISH FOOD. I DROVE FOR 30 MIN.
ALL THE PICTURES ON THE RESTAURANT'S WEBSITE ARE FALSE.
I FELT NAUSEOUS AFTER EATING THIS FOOD. IT SMELLED LIKE OLD OIL.SO I TOOK DIGESTIVE MEDICINE AND SLEPT. I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I STILL HAVE A STOMACHACHE. NASTY
Did not pack any eating utensils with the delivery order with the excuse that you have to specifically ask for them. First and last time I order from them. Not worth the time and hassle. Surprisingly small portions even for Thai.
Flavor is ok, meat is not marinated, below average Thai food.
They served spoiled meat! I had the chicken and am ok but several others in the party had meat. They are now sick.
The food was not up to standard. The other food in general was bland and not very thai like. Tried pad thai, sweet n sour, chicken satey, curry puffs and more.
Ordered a takeout, the food was stale and probably just microwaved as the chicken was extremely dry and chewy. Not a pleasant experience at all.
I didn't eat a lot of their products but I enjoyed what I had their Tom kah had a very surprising zing to it I wasn't expecting bear in mind I'm not complaining
Who messes up pineapple fried rice? Egg tasted super fresh and veggies were almost raw no flavor nothing. What a waste of 14 bucks!
Great drunken noodle! Very consistent every time.
I ordered the panang cury chicken and got the pad thai with shrimp for my wife. I love Thai and this place did not disappoint!! Food was delicious and the perfect level of spiciness!!
First time visiting on a Saturday night for indoor dining and it was amazing both service and food. They are following all the safety, sanitizing, 6ft distance guidelines and felt very comfortable and safe to be inside (also it was raining). No pictures because we were too hungry! Definitely recommend this place and will be on my take-out list from now on for after work good-eats.
It was amazing the food was absolutely delicious the service was amazing they took my order as soon as I got in they place was clean and orderly I was amazed because I had gone to restaurants around and it was quite the opposite I would recommend coming here to try their food
When I arrived to pick up the takeout, the staff was very organized, carefully packaging the food so that it was still hot by the time I got home. One of them even offered to assist me to the car considering I was carrying enough food to feed a family. (It was for a family.) Everyone enjoyed the meal and it definitely killed the cravings we were having!
Ordered delivery and it was such a great experience. The food was hot and fresh, and the dumplings were AMAZING. Would reorder just to have them again. Kind of regret not getting the Thai iced tea at this point, based on how good everything else was.
First experience here was good, but the second not so much. Despite otherwise decent flavors the chicken was clearly left-over and re-heated, as it was stiff and chewy. This was the case for both dishes we ordered. An obvious deal-breaker for anyone. This is something I expect out of cheaper chains, certainly not the mid-high range Busaba is going for. We were hoping to make it our go-to Thai spot during COVID-19, but I will likely not be eating here again.
Panang curry was excellent!
I happened to be in Fairfax and tried this place for dinner, very happy I did. I had the old standard drunken noodles, excellent, also had the papaya and sticky rice afterwards, also very good. Very pleasant staff, will return for lunch or dinner next time I'm in the area.
I ordered the red curry with tofu to go and there were no peppers or egg plant or anything in it but curry sauce and tofu. By the time I drove all the way home and found out it would be another 20 min drive with traffic.
Very good Thai food and great service. Casual atmosphere. Food seemed very fresh.
Small and cozy strip mall restaurant carry out. Seems to do more carry out than eat in business. Foods and services were actually very good and reasonably priced.
I already lost count of the times I've been at this wonderful place. If you love and enjoy eating, this is your place! The food is delicious (spicy or not) both are just 10 stars. If you haven't try Thai food so far and you want to start with something unique, well this is the place and I'd recommned their Spicy pork basil or drunken noodles. Oh! & before that you gotta try the Calamari or Thai dumplings without question!! They always have 1 or 2 amazing Thai waitress that are just phenomenal and quite kind, plus the owners that I believe are a couple... they are as good and as kind as the waitresses. Now they have their own delivery so I can't be more happy about it. I wish I could give more than only 5 STARS but I hope this comment gets you as hungry as it does to ME!
authentic Thai food close to what I have had in Thailand, however their portion is extremely tiny to the point it is almost like a rip off. Unless you are really keen on the taste, I would recommend you try other Thai places.
Perfectly serviceable. Friendly staff, and fresh food. If I shopped at Lowe's again, I might stop there.I wouldn't make the trip just for that particular restaurant. Competition in northern Virginia for Thai cuisine is really strong. By the way, they just started home delivery yesterday..
HAD THE BEST SPICY EGGPLANT EVER!!!!!!!!! Beyond delicious with a spice level that is just perfect. I highly recommend. I've been to MANY Thai restaurants and I can honestly say that Busaba's is the best.
It’s not often when we venture from our immediate DC area on a Sunday, but happened to find this gem when picking up a furniture order. Y’all! This place is well worth 5 stars! Some of the best Thai food I’ve eaten and completely worth the drive. We will return!
I’ve eaten here a couple of times. Prices are great and the food is also good. Service is pleasant too.
Found this little gem after stopping in for a quick lunch. It’s a unassuming place in a strip mall, but don’t let that deter you. The restaurant is clean, has friendly staff, and very delicious food! The panang curry is outstanding. I can’t wait to return to try something new. :-)
Green coconut milk curry was the best thing I’ve eaten in NOVA.
I’m celiac and also really appreciated the clearly marked GF items and specifications.
Nice decor, very reasonably priced, excellent service. This will be among my go-to spots.
Good gluten free options. Good food. It’s just good.
Pretty good Thai restaurant in a very unassuming plaza. The flavor of the red curry was wonderful, and the restaurant had great ambiance. The Thai tea was overly sweetened though, so I would recommend asking for reduced sweetness unless you are having it for dessert. The portion size of the spicy basil fried pork was also a bit small. Two entrees and a drink cost roughly $35 after tax and tip.
Overall, this place was a nice lunch spot and did satisfy my craving for Thai curry. And, they are adding a seasonal special of pumpkin curry which I will definitely be returning to try!
I like the atmosphere. It's cozy, nice and clean. I ordered Tom Yum noodles. It was great! The taste is similar to Thaialnd since they use real lemon juice. Rice noodles is fresh. And thai iced tea is not too sweet.
Great
Busaba Thai is excellent. Suggest you try the Thai Dumplings. They also have brown rice which is a plus. My waiter Tor was very nice. Highly recommended.
Great food! Really enjoyed this restaurant.
The Crab fried rice is incredible. They also have these shrimb wonton appetizers that just melt in your mouth.
Such a great place! The space is still new and looks very fresh. The food is awesome. However, be warned! Don't drink Thai Ice Tea before bed! I couldn't sleep the whole night! It is super charging, lol!
This is seriously my favorite restaurant at the moment. The guy who served us was so lovely, the food was AMAZING and took, like, five minutes to cook, and the place was so pretty! Loved it. Highly recommend the drunken noodles.
Very delicious Thai food and desserts at a very good price. Lovely painting decorations and friendly staff.
The food was very good. Restaurant was clean. Service was great. I would eat there again..
Once you enter the restaurant, you get ambiant vibes, a smiling waitress who seats you quickly, and an extensive menu to cater to all your Thai needs. I am a huge fan of lemongrass, and at this restaurant they incorporate it into their food beautifully. I tried the chicken curry puffs for a starter and it was delicious! I went onwards to trying to panang curry as my main entree and I was amazed! The curry has a sweetness from the coconut milk followed by undertones of a little spiciness. The waitress is very friendly and caters to all your needs. The food is also quickly brought out. Excellent!
Excellent food, excellent location, excellent service and perfectly priced!
Adorable, homey place, good food
Love the food!
My family and I went there yesterday. OMG the food was excellent, portions great. I had the pineapple fried rice with chicken and had them kick up the spice and it was awesome. My family had other dishes and they said they were very good, only complaint was they didn't kick the spice up and make it hot enough. We will be going back and they will ask for hotter spice. The place was very very clean and the service was excellent. We will be making this our to go place when we want thai food.
Authentic Thai cuisine with pure Thai Taste by Thai chefs.
Felt like in Thailand.
Newly opened place (3months ago). Cozy, warm, and modern interior with chalk art, food stickers, and minimalist decor. For the first time water taste....good without that fountain smell. Savoring and satisfying food. I had Thai Beef noodle soup which taste is hard to describe. It is like vietnamese hủ tiếu had a baby with Phở : lol! I recommend it. The drunken noodle is also great but too spicy for me. If it was a bit less spicy, i'd give it a 4/5 (i'll make sure to adjust that next time). The mango sticky rice was excellent! Worth every penny. Also, the food here is priced decently compared to other Thai places. They just opened so come enjoy the virgin store!!! :)
This restaurant is new in the area. I love the modern style with traditional food taste. You should try out many good dishes with decent price. They dont have lunch/dinner pricing, it's just different with the meat/seafood selection. The service is great and food is good. Dont forget mango stiky rice. Yummy
ordered red curry with tofu. tasted great!
Was not very pleased with the food. I ordered the cashew chicken and it tasted like watered down chicken in a slightly cashew chicken sauce. The amount of chicken on the plate was also very small, the bulk of the meal was in the rice they offered as a side. My SO's food was decent, but nothing special. The place looked nice and clean inside, I just wish the food tasted better.
Excellent. Their beer and wine license comes soon I was told. Love the food!!
Delicious, especially Thai beef noodle soup. It’s too tasty to stop eating.
This Thai restaurant is very good food and I recommended this authentic Thai food in Fairfax. Love their Ka na crispy pork, Crispy duck basil, Num Tok, and Mango sticky rice.
Food is fresh and reasonably priced Thai dishes. Love to come back.
Nice wait staff, quick service, delicious ka prow
