A small family owned Thai restaurant located on 20 Plantation Dr Ste 137. Serving authentic Thai cuisine, drinks, and other food items.
Everything was good. Not great. Needs more flavor. Papaya salad was suppose to be spicy, but wasn't. Spicy basil rice didn't have enough sauce and wasn't spicy at all. Overall, solid food for the area.
WoW!
Little hole in the wall looking spot that we've passed many times without even noticing. A friend, who LOVES Thai food, was in town and we decided to try it!
Group of eight including three kids.
We were seated immediately!
Service was beyond excellent! The littlest minion was not a big fan. The owner brought out several different things (at NO charge) to include an amazing Thai tea for her to try.
I had the red curry at the owner recommendation. DELICIOUS!
Pad thai, pad se yu, drunken noodles, and wonton soup were all selections. Everyone enjoyed their food.
Note they have four spice levels. I had medium and that's about good for me!
We will be back for sure!
We decided to give this spot a try due to great reviews however it was a disappointment. Thai red curry should have a coconut milk flavor not a tomato paste flavor. I would not return as this was not authentic Thai food.
Visited a neighborhood restaurant today , and as an asian, this place doesn’t disappoint. A family owned business, located in the city of Fredericksburg, this Thai family sure knows what great food and service is all about. This place makes me remember what my family used to eat , whenever we crave some Thai food. We usually have a rice dish and a couple of entree’s. I ordered a Hawaiian fried rice with chicken , which was great. The chicken was not dry and the smell and taste of cilantro made the dish extra delicious. The rice was not mushy and it was very fluffy. I ordered the curry as well. Whenever you take a bite into the seafood, everything was not over or under cookers. The shrimp was juicy, the scallops didn’t taste old and it was sweet, there was no smell that would make you think that it’s old. This place would be my for sure go to Thai family restaurant. I love the family that owns it, I love the location and last but not that least, I love their food.
Amazing food. No alcohol was the reason for a star drop. Always like a glass of wine or cold beer with my Thai. Disappointed
The food is very delicious.
Oh Man, "this is some good food!"
The service was quick. The food was good.

Coconut sticky rice w mango for desert is a must!

A hole in the wall restaurant that we'd never find it Yelp didn't pop up a notification telling us to try it when we were in the area. The food was really good and priced very well for the quantity served. Staff was extremely friendly and went out of the way to ensure our 10 month old was comfortable. I got their Saithong spicy noodle and asked them to make it Thai spicy - it was very good! My wife got the panang Curry which is her favorite and her baseline to test a Thai restaurant and that was very good as well. Definitely recommend this place!
Very nice owner and staff
Amazing food. Super spicy and authentic Thai food
Came in had the beef penyang curry and it was extremely bland the service was good, but the curry just tasted like nothing
Very good. Love the Pad Thai.
Amazing food. My family loves going here!
Always come here when I visit my mom. It’s hard finding authentic Asian food in this area but this Thai place is amazing. Highly recommend
Food here very good I’m from Thailand food here same Thailand
Walked in and sat down. 2 people working did not acknowledge me and waited 10 minutes while server walked to other customers and never came to my table. First time back after fruit fly infestation. Many other choices. Will not be back.
This place was amazing, my son loved it. It is his birthday and he got padtie and the noodles were soft and he said probably the best he ever had and they gave him three coconut custards and everyone else one to we loved it here. (My son wrote this. It really was great here. Highly recommend. )
I ordered through UberEats and was excited about my order since I couldn't cook for myself today; I'd ordered quite a few things. While I find the flavors absolutely delicious and LOVABLE, the snack portion sizes that I paid full-sized dinner price for, is tremendously underwhelming and utterly disappointing. Seeing that this is now customary from diners on GrubHub and DoorDash too, I will not order here again. The representation on the UberEats site was entirely misleading.
Great food
Driving through town looking for Thai. Excellent food.
Have driven by this Thai place for the two years we lived here. Can't believe it took me this long. Excellent atmosphere, clean and upbeat. Food was good and can't wait to try the rest of their menu!
Really good food! We will be back to try other dishes. My husband gets his Thai extra hot spicy and said it was not very spicy. But I should preface that by saying he always orders it as hot as they can make it and only once was it too spicy for him.
What a gem! Was in town for the weekend and ended up eating here three times. So many delicious options. All tasted delightful!!
Awesome little Family run restaurant. The food and service were great, and we went a couple times during our last visit to the area. The man running the business is super kind and attentive as well.
Great Thai place. Saithong Spicy Noodle best item on the menu. Get it to go or eat in and talk with the nice staff members. Can't go wrong.
First time ordering and the reviews are 100 correct. Food is phenomenal, service was amazing. I got take out but I can't wait to go back and eat there again. Panang curry and chicken satay were just perfect. Exactly what I expected. Delicious. A must try.
Highly recommend, food was delicious 😋
The owners made us feel so welcomed. I went for Mother’s Day. Food was wonderful.
Cute little restaurant off Route 17, 20 Plantation Dr. The food was excellent, and our server was very pleasant to talk with. I will certainly return to enjoy another meal.
Honestly the best. We have come here twice in matter of a week. The service is always great. The man in the front is kind and generous. He is patient and accommodating. We come as a family of five. He brings my boys candy to have after their food. The service is fast and we have been one of two people in here. The food is great! Love the fried chicken, Kapow with chicken (spruce level 2-3) and pad Thai. On our most recent visit, a crime show was on their tv and my kids were watching it. He changed it to something we could all watch. Our business will continue to be here. Definitely try it out!
Was in town for work and the food here is DELICIOUS! Spicy, flavorful and the owners are lovely as well. The phone rang off the hook all night for orders (which is a great sign!) and I ended up eating here the only two nights I was in town because it was so dang tasty. Highly recommend.
I love this place! I drive past 2 other Thai take out restaurants in Stafford and drive an extra 15 minutes to get food here because this one is the best in town! Their food is enough to have leftovers and tastes so good. My kids love it too. Also, I have diagnosed sensitivities but nothing in the food here triggers it.
The food was good. Took Masamman curry with Tofu.
With current inflationary prices, I've been driven away from a lot of my faves. Happy to see Saithong Para Thai is back on the menu! Really flavorful meals with super friendly service. Will definitely be coming back soon!
Very good food, super friendly people are working there and it’s literally a hidden gem! I can highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy good Thai food.
The food was amazing! We had the eggplant with tofu and the red curry with shrimp. The papaya salad was very spicy, just the way we like it. We recently were in Thailand and this place is as authentic as it gets. Service is slow because it is family owned and everything is freshly made. Have a beer and be patient. Oh, don't forget the mango sticky rice for dessert.
Ordered takeout and was told food would be ready in 30 mins. Went to pick it up and had to wait another 20 mins. There were a number of us just hanging out and waiting.
Would've been OK if the food was great, but the heat/spice level was cranked up to 11. Three of the 4 meals were WAY hotter than ordered. IMO, "mild" was medium, "medium" was hot, and "hot" was just ridiculous. God help anyone ordering "super hot."
I'm so happy that I decided to dine here. The drunken noodles are amazing! I look forward to my next visit. The owners are very friendly!
Food was delicious as always. Fast friendly service.
My family went for dinner. Three out of four of us had never been here before and were very impressed. The food was excellent and the service was fantastic! I highly recommend going for dinner.
Food was great. Our waiter, Cody, was really on top of getting what we needed and waiting on others. Food came out quick.
Our server was fantastic (it turned out that he was the owner!), and the food was delicious! Be forewarned, medium spicy had me sweating. 👍
Excellent Thai food 👌. Great place to eat.
I love it.
This is a great hole in the wall restaurant. We were there for dinner and had no issues. We found a seat when we walked in and were immediately greeted. The host/server was very friendly and kind, and brought our drinks and food in a very timely manner. The food was delicious.
Love this place! The food is scrumptious!
First time.
Yellow Curry is yummy and not spicy 🔥🥵
Amazing food, order spicy worth it
Worst restaurant meal I had in years. The noodles were slimey, no waitress, terrible atmosphere....OMG a disaster.
The best Thai in the area. Food is always on point! Such a great, well delivered menu. Still fantastic. The fruit flies are gone and they've remodeled so there's some bigger tables and two booths now.
It’s always a treat to find real Thai food, but to find it on road trip from NY to NC was amazing. Delicious fresh food, friendly staff, great prices. Excellent!
My first time here and it was exceptional. The Tilapia basil was phenomenal. I like spice, and they didn't disappoint. My wife also very much enjoyed her spicy eggplant. Overall, a great find and my new favorite Thai restaurant.
Second visit a month later. I got takeout on the way home from work. The eggplant again was spectacular, but I tried the Nam Tok....WOW! What an amazing taste. You have to try this exceptional dish.
We ordered take out and the staff were so friendly and helpful over the phone. I got a Pad Thai with both shrimp and tofu and it was excellent!
Amazing food and friendly staff!
The food here tastes delicious and service is always friendly and warm. Easily one of the best places to eat around here.
Incredible tofu pad Thai, quick service. 10/10. Will be stopping for takeout every time I come back down this way! This is top tier pad Thai!! I will be dreaming of this sauce for a long time to come.
WoW!

Very authentic, very tasty! I've been a loyal customer for years!
Passing by Fredericksburg stopped here for lunch.
Positive: service was nice, Thai Chive dumplings were tasty, Jasmine tea was flavorful.
Negative: rest of the food (Drunken Noodle, Sesame Noodle, Papaya salad) was tasteless with minimal amount of meat and veggies in it, mostly just overcooked noodle. Everything was overpriced for the quality and quantity of the food.
No stopping here again.
Still looking for a good Thai restaurant. This is the first Thai restaurant I have visited since moving to this area a few months ago.
The service was good, but the chicken and basil was disappointing. I could smell the basil, but did not taste any basil. 😒 There was also way too much rice and it was not spicy.
I also ordered a Panang chicken curry dish. It taste pretty good, but within 15 or 20 minutes my system chose to immediately discard it. 😟 Not a pleasant experience.
My search continues.
i had food poisoning! Vomited all I ate after 1-2 jrs.I bought Pad thai and
Fried rice.
First, there were flies everywhere. We had to keep shooing them off our table, food, and drinks. Food was ok. Green Curry was very thick. I asked for "Thai hot" and was told no, but I could get "American hot" . Husband asked for his Pad Thai to be "American Hot" and it came out without any spice at all. Kicker is another couple came in while we were dining and one asked for their dish to be "Thai Hot". The server asked if they've had a dish that spicy before, which they said they had. The server said "Oh ok I'll give it to you then".
Wow! We ordered the Tom yum soup with chicken and Drunken noodles; both were excellent and comparable to dishes at our old New York spot. But the big highlight was the bubble tea -- the BEST I've had. I got the green tea flavor and we even got a free refill. Stop by on your way to Giant, Aldi, or Six Bears and a Goat. They will not disappoint!
The food was delicious, but the place has flies. They even have fly strips, so they know they have them but not sure what else they are doing. Also seems like they wash their dishes at another facility because someone can in the front door with an open basket and headed to the kitchen. Not a good look.
My favorite Thai on this strippp🥰🥰🥰
Great food, great service... great mindful people!
Took my family here for the first time. The food and service was great; however, the fruit flies that were buzzing around the restaurant was a little distracting. I'd be willing to give this a second chance if I know that they have done some about the fruit flies
I've been here a few times and it's very good.
We ordered takeout from here and the food was so delicious! We got the panang curry and the pad see ew noodles, which was enough to feed two people for two meals. Will definitely eat from here again.
A small restaurant with a comfy vibe and even comfier food (I've always found Thai food to be comfy so maybe that's just me, haha) that has an abundance of flavor. Definitely recommend the soup and curry!
Fantastic Experience! The basil fried rice dish is bomb. The host/server was incredibly friendly and attentive. Fast service, pleasant and clean interior. I always want to stop by here when I’m in the area!
I get my food here on my birthday every year, It's always cooked to perfection, and the owner is very nice. I've never had an issue with the food.
Always the BEST!!!
Absolutely the best ever. We try to go there once a month. Good is great and plentiful for the price. The staff is courteous and friendly. Awesome!!
We were traveling through the area and this was close to our hotel. It is a rather small, unassuming place. The food (Drunken Noodles, Hawaiian Beef and Spicy Calamari) was excellent. The service was friendly and efficient. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Damn best cury I ever had.
This is my new go to spot for Thai food. I order the exact same thing every time. I love my Ka Pow chicken with minced chicken. I also like to order it Thai spicy with extra chicken for $3. I also order the Spicy Basil Rice with Chicken at a medium taste and it is delicious. I can eat off this meal for a couple of days. Generous portions.
Appetizer and entrées were delicious! Service was excellent! Enjoyed the meal.
Best pad see ew I've had outside of Thailand
Simply put, the BEST Thai cuisine in the Stafford/Fredericksburg area.
Good food & friendly staff.
Was really looking forward to eating here given the reviews. I came for dinner with a group of about eight, and the staffer that greeted us said it might be a while. No problem. We understand the difficulty in staffing restaurants currently. We were happy to wait. However, just as we were about to sit down the owner/manager (not sure which) said it will be at least 45 minutes before they could serve us, and they had too many carry out orders to fulfill before us. While we were happy to wait, her rudeness and attitude was a total turnoff. We left to eat elsewhere and will not return.
Shrimp pad thai, tofu panang, & spicy calamari were the bomb. I'm not lying. This is the first place to call my bluff on spicy levels in years. Thank you 👏🙏
Great little spot. Friendly service and wonderful food.
The nicest people, great food, knowledgeable staff.
Amazing food
Idk why I took so long to try here! Was not disappointed at all!!! The wonton soup is so delicious and exactly how the Thai wonton soup should taste. Panang curry is delicious! This will be my new fav Thai restaurant! Customer service is A1!
Excellent, authentic Thai cuisine! The service was exceptional as well.
One of the best Thai places in the burg. Family owned and the wife puts her heart into the food. Today I ordered two of my favorites. Drunken Noodles with chicken and the Talapia Thai Basil. Of course the appetizer of spring rolls.
Wow. That was delicious. Drunken noodles with shrimp. Service was personable, personal, helpful, and attentive. Food tastes amazing. I was just complaining about the fact that there are no good Chinese restaurants in this area (this place is Thai) and that the reviews of them reflect the fact that they are "Fredericksburg Good" and cannot hold their own against places closer to DC. That rule does not apply here. This place is great by any standards. I will definitely be back. Flavor was on point. My server told me that the chef has been cooking for 25 years. Yeah, that sounds about right based on what I experienced. Without a doubt the best 'Asian' restaurant in the Burg and beyond. What a hidden gem.
So glad Saithong Para Thai made it through the pandemic. We don't go here often...not sure why! Lol. Love their food and the staff. They are a family owned business and deserve our support. I don't think you will be disappointed if you eat here!! 💜
Pretty good food.
Delicious food!!! My family took me there for the 1st time and it was great for the price. Tried several types of sushi and dishes...if you haven't gone it's a nice place to try.
They are a family owned place and have wonderful food. Their noodles are my favorite. I highly recommend them.
Our first and last visit... The food was just ok, had next to no flavor... Nara Thai on 610 in Stafford is the most flavorful tasting Thai place around.
We tried carryout for the first time, it was not a let down by any means. I believe we have found another great place to go to which is hard to come by in the immediate area.
Got DoorDash sent to me at my hotel room. When it arrived, there was no rice. Long story short while I was trying to resolve through DoorDash, the owner called me back and personally brought rice to my hotel.
Panang Curry and kaprow (sp?) were delicious
Sheesh! I can literally eat here daily!
Not the same, the sauce for the pad Thai had so much sugar or something....it was just all too sweet.
Excelente and delicious food. Staff very friendly.
Perhaps this was an off day for them but the drunken noodle (with chicken) and Pad Thai (with shrimp) were greasy and flavorless! Based on other Google reviews, I'll give them one more try (with a different dish) and modify this review if I have better luck.
Food is fresh and very good. Staff is very friendly. The wings are delicious!!
Such great potstickers and Chicken Saithong, the spicyv variation was also very flavorful, friendly staff and fast service
Best Thai food in Fredericksburg! Place is legit. It so hard to find good Thai food while traveling that doesn't make everything overly sweet.
Delicious food. The pad Thai and the pad se ew were fantastic
Very tasty, and the servers were very attentive. Example: I blew my nose because of the spices and immediately had a fresh napkin on my table. Classy.
They have bendy straws!!!
Food was close to authentic. Like how mom cooks. It's what you would expect.
Always pretty quick with takeout orders and friendly staff.
love their food, favorite spot for thai cuisine.
Great food but small portions. They need to increase the size of their meal.
This family owned resturant is an amazing place, beautiful hidden gem. The flavors remind me of Thailand and the portions are generous. If you want Thai hot, I'm pretty sure they can help you out. I'm a big fan of the Hawaiian fried rice with chicken satay and peanut sauce to dip it in. But there is something for everyone here and it's all good. I'm pretty sure I've eaten everything here as well!
Excellent food and service
Great food
What a surprise. We were in town for a fencing event and found this little place. Not expecting much. Mistake! The food was excellent, the service knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. This food is seriously good. They will temper the heat if you want. It’s small and not fancy but don’t let that fool you. This is a place to go back often. Wish I had gotten the name of my waiter to give him a shout out. We are not locals but will return here any time we’re in Fredericksburg. it’s the best Thai food we’ve had outside Thailand. .
Excellent food, very clean. Attentive staff. Would highly recommend.
Delicious food, reasonable price.
Food is very tasty 😋. Worth for it for the price
Fantastic! Staff very nice!!
Food is always delicious and perfectly made.
Great food! It taste like it is home cooked with love.
very good authentic fare
What a gem! Wanted to be careful, so got pad see u and tilapia with thai eggplant and basil, but wow. Perfectly balanced, not too greasy or sweet. Wish was closer to us, but will definitely return when passing through.
Try the Miang kham appetizer. This is one of the few places that I have seen it on the menu. The pad thai is pretty good here but I like to go with the thai noodle soup. All of their noodle dishes are pretty good and worth checking out.
Hands down, The best Thai food!!!
The food was delicious. We did shared plates and dessert. Great meal for the price!
Green Curry, Bangkok Fried Rice, Spring Rolls are all top notch. Love this place it is a weekly staple. Keep them running through all this.
