Fantastic! Our waitress was amazing and polite. She recommended their new drink, the pinky milky drink, and it was so good. A very unique taste to it. There were so many choices on their menu and you can tell everything was so fresh. We will definitely be going back!

The restaurant offers absolutely delicious Thai food with authentic flavors and impeccable presentation. The service is quick, and the atmosphere is pleasant. However, the only area for improvement would be the timing of bringing the check, as it gave me the impression they were in a hurry for me to finish my meal. If they adjusted this detail, the experience would be perfect. Despite that, I would definitely recommend the place for the quality of its dishes.

We came here on a Friday night without reservation, and the place was filled up quickly to probably 60-70%. The food was really good, and the service was also nice. Overall, it’s a nice neighborhood restaurant for Thai food. We would love to come back.

It’s my first time here since they moved to the new location. Basically, the prices have increased by 2-3 dollars for most dishes. The Dirty Thai iced tea is too sweet for my taste, but the papaya salad’s seasoning is spot on.
There’s nothing special about the calamari rings; you can skip them.
The rest of the dishes we ordered are tasty, but I’m not sure they’re worth the price anymore.

We had a great experience at Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse.

The food was tasty. My favorite was the Chiang Mai Noodles and we also liked the minced pork and Hoi Jor. The dishes were not too spicy. The only dish we found average was the panang curry.

The service was excellent. Our server ensured that we were comfortable from beginning to end.

The restaurant had nice vibes inside. Outdoor seating was also available.

It’s absolutely insane how good the pad Thai is here; it tastes like my hopes and dreams. The Thai tea is also super cute and tasty. I’ve eaten here and every time that I’ve gotten the pad Thai— it never misses. 💖

Amazing food and ambience. Loved the cocktails too. The outdoor patio is really lovely and super cute. They finally have their liquor license so it was slammed.
They NEED to hire more staffing as our amazing waitress was also the hostess, bartender, and bussing tables. Great Thai food!

We enjoy Thai food and decided to have lunch at this highly rated restaurant today. It was fantastic. As soon as we entered, we noticed various decorative items throughout the restaurant. The ceiling was decorated with stylish metallic lanterns, creating a sophisticated atmosphere with vintage objects and collected items displayed on the shelves. Additionally, there was a large bar with various wine bottles on display.

The dishes we ordered were tasty and not overly heavy in flavor or sweetness. They were not Westernized Thai food but were similar to the authentic dishes we enjoyed while traveling in Thailand. We started with Lao papaya salad with fermented fish paste and fermented crab, served with a flavorful sauce and crunchy green papaya, nicely complemented by freshly deep-fried calamari rings. The shrimp pad Thai was delicious with tangy tamarind sauce, and the Beef Ka Pow Krob was delightful with a sweet chili garlic sauce that wasn't overpowering. Unfortunately, they were out of their signature desserts, so our server recommended the lemon pudding cake and Thai tea chocoflan, which were great, especially the Thai tea chocoflan!

Our experience at this restaurant was truly delightful. The food was excellent, the service was great, and the ambiance was just right. We left with a strong desire to return soon and sample more of its dishes, eager to recreate our wonderful experience.

Terrific variety of great food!

Everything we had was excellent. Service was great too. They did get busy near the end of our meal, so service slowed, but still friendly. We will most definitely recommend and return. Thank you, Chiang Mai Thai!

Definitely worth trying and food is so delicious

Absolutely fantastic experience at Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse in McLean, VA! I tried the Drungkem noodles, Lard Kai, and Lao papaya salad, and every dish was bursting with authentic flavors. The Drungken noodles were rich and satisfying, the Larb Kai had the perfect balance, and the Lao papaya salad was fresh and delicious.

The cocktails were just as impressive! I had Adam and Eve and Hold Em, both beautifully crafted and refreshing. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving high-quality Thai cuisine with amazing drinks! Can’t wait to come back

The ktchen is inconsistent about following notes which accompany an online order. Food quality remains high; but, portion size continues to decrease even as prices are on the rise.

Fantastic! Our waitress was amazing and polite. She recommended their new drink, the pinky milky drink, and it was so good. A very unique taste to it. There were so many choices on their menu and you can tell everything was so fresh. We will definitely be going back!

One of my favorite spots in all of McLean. Beef panang, papaya salad, red curry are all top notch. Servers are really sweet, too!

Great food and even better customer service

This is an updated review. The last one was when they were in a very small space. Now they are in a much bigger cozy space with a vastly expanded menu. The food is as good as it ever has been. My opinion is that Chiang Mai serves some of the best Thai food in all of Northern Virginia. The staff is super friendly and very efficient.

The service was terrible. We had to wait awhile to order our food while the restaurant was not busy. The waitress was rude to us when asked to take our order. The food was so so. I’ve never been to a restaurant where a party of five people is considered a large party so they can charge 20% tips. I guess that how she gets her tips!!!
We will never go back there again.

It’s absolutely insane how good the pad Thai is here; it tastes like my hopes and dreams. The Thai tea is also super cute and tasty. I’ve eaten here and every time that I’ve gotten the pad Thai— it never misses. 💖

Amazing food, very authentic and super tasty, big menu, and great atmosphere.

this is my new favorite place to get Pad Thai. Absolutely Delicious.

Great food, good service, and a fun ambiance. Will be back.

Went to Chiang Mai for the second time and it was just as delicious as the first. You can tell they cook each item to order and don’t use pre-cooked noodles. The Cashew Lovers (I think that’s what it was called) is the best I’ve had at any Thai restaurant. We also enjoyed the Pad See Ew with chicken, one of the soups my dad had, the Gyoza, and some veggie tempura that was crispy and delicious.

Have dined here repeatedly. Love the food and the staff. Mint is my favorite waitress. She always remembers my favorite dishes.

Excellent food. Service excellent I know some said in beginning service slow. NO LONGER Now great service. Mint was wonderful. Helpful with menu. Please try. We’ve been three times this week. One of our go to places every dish has been great.

The food looked very good on the internet and I was very excited to go. I had been eyeing the restaurant for a month, and I finally went on an afternoon when it was not busy. I sat down at the bar by myself and the bartender/waitress person was immediately rude for no discernible reason, plus she left a bottle of cleaning products sitting on the bar top. I got up and walked out. There are many other good restaurants close by to choose from, so I did.

The best Thai food we have had in a long time worthy of remembering.

Highly recommended.

Went here for the first time and absolutely loved the green curry with chicken and Thai iced tea! Will be coming back.

I was really excited to try Chiang Mai, but I left feeling disappointed. The food tasted great, but the portions were shockingly small for the price. I ordered a green curry, and the amount of rice that came with it was barely enough for a few bites. I actually had to stop by Peter Chang’s down the street just to get more rice to finish my meal! It’s frustrating to pay so much and still feel hungry afterward. If you’re looking for a place where you get your money’s worth, Chiang Mai isn’t it. Great flavors, but not enough food to justify the cost.

Food here was okay but I didn’t think it was particularly special enough to return. The green curry was bland. The fried tilapia was okay though. The dishes were kind of expensive and parking is hard to find but there is a parking garage next to it.

Authentic experience with good service.

We had a great experience at Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse.

The food is excellent and the best in the town. They are always busy, which speaks to the quality of the food. However, the service can be mixed depending on the server and sometimes excruciatingly slow. Based on our numerous visits, I would say the servers are overwhelmed by the number of patrons and the owners truly need to hire some more staff!!!

One of the best Thai restaurants in the DC area

We were there for a birthday. The food took a very long time to be served and it was a mediocre. The did have a nice atmosphere

It’s my first time here since they moved to the new location. Basically, the prices have increased by 2-3 dollars for most dishes. The Dirty Thai iced tea is too sweet for my taste, but the papaya salad’s seasoning is spot on.
There’s nothing special about the calamari rings; you can skip them.
The rest of the dishes we ordered are tasty, but I’m not sure they’re worth the price anymore.

The rice was not good you have to specify what kind of rice you want. If you don't they will give you red rice and it is not good.

I recently dined at this charming Thai restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful décor that added to the overall experience. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic flavors with the perfect balance of spices. The drunken noodle and green curry was a standout, bursting with fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked noodles. The service was also exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine!

Nice food, nice atmosphere, and normally nice service. I normally come to this restaurant with my family, which is five people. Recently, they added an automatic gratuity for us 5 which we have never seen before. The amount was not to different from what we normally tip, but I did not like having the choice taken away. Left a bad taste in my mouth. We will probably come back, though less frequently than we did before.

This is a hidden gem in McLean. Food is amazingly tasty. We ordered vegetables, pad Thai and chicken curry and it was wonderful. Also, mango sticky rice was another level. The atmosphere is lovely, you feel like you travel to the past with all those old technology around. And the music is the perfect complement for a great dinner or lunch time with friends.

We enjoy Thai food and decided to have lunch at this highly rated restaurant today. It was fantastic. As soon as we entered, we noticed various decorative items throughout the restaurant.

Amazing food. Pad thai and sticky rice were excellent. I highly recommend this place.

Food quality was not as good as before they relocated. Papaya salad tasted like nothing but strong fish sauce. Rice is hard to chew. Chicken was not tender, not a good quality chicken. We won’t go back any more. Food was much better at the old location.

If you want authentic Northern Thai food cooked by Northern Thai people, Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse is the best place. Their menu offers many local dishes from Chiang Mai, Thailand, which are hard to find, along with other Thai dishes. And, of course, they are delicious, such as Chiang Mai sausage, Num Prik Ong, and Ka Nom Jee Nam Ngiaw. The location is easy to find, with the parking lot on the back. I also love the patio seating.

I was visiting family in the D.C. area and they took me to Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse ... What a pleasant surprise :-) the food was delicious (coming from someone who’s been to Thailand many times) ... I specially loved the Chiang Mai sausage and the Aom beef stew ... excellent food and friendly staff, will certainly come back when I visit D.C. again.

这是McLean 最好的泰餐，由之前一条小街的家庭厨房进化为一家精致的泰餐厅！会经常来。

Amazing food and ambience. Loved the cocktails too. The outdoor patio is really lovely and super cute. They finally have their liquor license so it was slammed.
They NEED to hire more staffing as our amazing waitress was also the hostess, bartender, and bussing tables. Great Thai food!

Pad Thai was good. Chiang Mai curry does not taste like it has curry sauce on it

I was in the area and stepped into this gem. They had outdoor seating, but I chose to sit inside where it wasn’t too busy. It was also exceptionally clean. The old-school decorations are really neat.

I ordered the (3) spring rolls for an appetizer and had the chicken pad see-ew for the main course. Both dishes came out fairly quickly. The spring rolls were delicious and had a nice, crispy texture. The pad see-ew was good too; however, some of the chicken was a tad cold. It seems the protein is cooked beforehand, and then they make the noodles, sauce, etc., fresh. This is the only reason I’m leaving 4 stars.

Overall, the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. I want to emphasize that the cleanliness of this place was exceptional, and it shows. I would certainly go back if I’m in the area!

(I had eaten a spring roll that’s why you see two instead of three.)

Great ambience and delicious food ! Ordered Ching mai noodles with shrimp . It was superb ! Highly recommend

Excellent, fresh Thai food.
Our favorite.

solid thai joint for mclean

Highly recommend their Thai ice coffee. I love their cold foam 😍 I had tofu pad thai and Beef ka pow. Rice was little overcooked but overall excellent! All the servers are super friendly and quick with service 👍

UPDATE! Since their move to a new location, Chiang Mai Thai in McLean has become one of the best thai food restaurants in northern Virginia!

The food, atmosphere, and friendly service in this medium-sized restaurant are exceptionally good!

----------------

Original post: I saw this little restaurant a few times on my way to other places and decided to give it a try.

Ordered two dishes by phone for pick up and carry out. The order process went smoothly, and the food, once received, was mediocre.

Upon arrival, I realized the four parking spots in front were sized too small, even for compact cars.

Several hand-written signs on the entry door and inside the tiny restaurant space said, "...baby sleeping...no cell phones or conversations please..." and another asked, "...for patience due to staff shortage."

The only people I saw were a couple sitting outside at a small bare table (no menu, food, drinks etc) and three patrons whispering over their food in cramped corner inside the doorway adjacent to a room divider that hid a crib with a small child near the kitchen.

After a few minutes, I peeked into the kitchen to see if there were any staff or signs of my to-go order.

A young man came out with a bag containing my order. I paid and left with the neatly organized paper bag. As mentioned, the food was prepared and packaged well, but the taste and quality were only adequate.

I reflected on what I had seen in the restaurant and felt compassion and appreciation for the operator who seemed to be momentarily overwhelmed but still doing his best to maintain his business.

* There was also a sign that said the restaurant will be soon moving into the old "Greek Taverna" location around the corner in the near future.

I appreciate tenacity in the face of all the adversity that life can bring. My review is currently at 3 stars... but I will revisit Chiang Mai Thai in the new location when established!!

Great atmosphere! Food was great!

Lovely Thai addition to our fast-growing repertoire of cool restaurants in McLean! The lemongrass soup was total perfection! Would come back just for that. The main dishes were solid. Beautifully presented.

Genuinely THE best Thai food I’ve had in YEARSSSS OH MY GOD

The place deserves a full 5 as their food is fresh and delicious and the decor is very entertaining.
I have been here twice. Once for dinner and once for lunch. I love shrimp pad Thai and also shrimp pad see-ew, Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice x dessert!
The first time during dinner our waiter, who could not be nicer, was pulled in many directions and thus our service was delayed.
The second time during lunch we got the same waiter, we got great service from him and the food was on time. I am going back soon.

Highest quality Thai restaurant cooking in DMV for the price. Probably top 🎩 ten in the west for Chiang Mai street style. Cooking 🔪 is another 🎚️ level of health and original taste. Great, loyal, customer base.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have been to so far! A must visit when visiting McLean

I was captivated by its authentic ambiance—a subtle blend of traditional decor with antique gallery, very welcoming atmosphere. The staff exuded warmth and friendliness, adding a touch of familiarity to the dining experience.
The menu, presented a minor challenge with its regular Thai dishes but had abundance of choices. My favorite dishes were - Chiang Mai Noodle, ka pow krab, drunken noodles and a side of crispy egg noodles.
Sumo Gyoza, Hae Kuen were not up to the mark. Stir fried yellow curry was disappointing, lacked basic seasoning.

In summary, this gem only offered an authentic ambiance, amiable service from experienced staff, but did not deliver on taste, getting this place closer to another basic destination for thai enthusiast leaving it’s true potential.
I will only be returning for their drunken noodles.

A wonderful new location for a fine local restaurant. We've done carry out several times and dined-in this weekend. The menu now seems to be larger with more variety than it was in the previous, tiny location. Food is superb. Service great. Another fine dining choice in McLean.

Very good food. Prompt and friendly service. Pleasant atmosphere. I recommend the Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse.

Beautiful new location too bad the food is terrible. We ordered curry chicken, Drunken Noodles with shrimp, spicy eggplant, chiang Mei Curry. One worse than the other and I tried them all. For the first time I was actually happy they gave a small portions because the food was honestly terrible and would have straight into the garbage. Very disappointing

The food is spectacular. The service is great and didn’t take that long for the food to come out.

We were distraught when Change Mai closed the doors of their old tiny place to build up their new better space. The long wait was well worth it. Despite the upsize, the eclectic decor at their new location retains the comfortable, warm, quirky feel of the original. Then, there's the food - still superlative - Thai that stands above: tender dumpling appetizers, Panang Curry rich with peanut flavor. The full menu calls us to come back soon. We surely will.

Amazing food and service

The portions are to small for the price

I love this place! They’ve recently moved to a new location and it is so well done! The food is delicious. It’s hands down the best Thai food I’ve had stateside.

The new location is fantastic. The antique decor and music makes this place a gem. The food is phenomenal as it was in their original location. Very happy for the owner. Great job!

Roundup to 4 from 3.5 stars !

HOI JOR -crispy stuffed crab meat, shrimp, chestnuts, scallion. wrapped with bean curd skin, plum dipping sauce.
Ok & Average Good !
Tom Yum Shrimp - Above Average Good , soup base is plain ( not more flavorful broth as my go- to Thai restaurant in Herndon), however shrimps are perfectly cooked & very tender!
ChiangMai Curry w/ Shrimp - very tasty but a bit on sweet side

Food is great, the atmosphere is worth coming in for. The service definitely needs some work though, all of the servers just seem extremely nervous and don't come around often.

Great place!

Really liked the Dirty Thai Ice Tea. Combo Thai Tea and Thai Coffee.

This is the best Thai food I have had in the DMV area.

I wear a very expensive piece of wire at all times, except when eating. It basically holds my jaw together and is the only thing standing in the way of me being wheelchair bound. Despite this, I often forget to bring the case with me when I go out.

I put the wire on a small plate that was taken when the entrees arrived. I forgot about it until the end of the meal. I told the wait staff and they, along with the entire kitchen staff, went out of their way to look for it.

I was nervously waiting outside the kitchen when I heard a burst of celebratory relief from the staff. It was very sweet, they found my wire and showed me where they found it.

What the staff did means a lot to me. It is very, very difficult to replace the wire and I am thankful that they found it. The service is a little slow and they are still figuring out the new location, but they really care and are good people.

[Edit: Update for the new location. We went to the soft reopening tonight (Feb 5 2024). Everything was as delicious as we remembered! Except for the curry puffs, which were even more delicious. And the new location looks fantastic.]

I've eaten here twice. Second time was with 8 adults, eating family style (sharing).

This is the best Thai food I've ever had, and the best my wife has had outside Thailand. And we hear this is the place local Thai people come.

Small family business. Small kitchen staff, but fast for how small they are!

The Chiang Mai Curry (hot) was our whole group's favorite - - delicious, and most unique.

The Peanut Panang Curry was second.

Spring rolls were wonderful, and the curry puffs.

Soooooo good!

We dined in for the soft opening of Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse at the new location on Old Dominion tonight and just wow!

Same amazing food that we have been missing for 6 months in a stunning new setting.

They were ready, service was spot on, meal was perfectly paced, decor and ambiance warm and inviting. Every aspect of our dining experience was perfection.

My all-time favorite dish is Chiang Mai Noodle but lots on the menu to love.

Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse, so glad you are back open! It was hard, but so worth the wait.

I also cannot wait for you guys to open at your new location. I have tried Thai food at other local locations but yours is the best - cannot wait tor return to you.

Delicious food and incredibly sweet owners and staff. Can’t wait for the new restaurant to open so I can enjoy their drunken noodles and Thai iced tea again!

Love your restaurant. When will you open your new location? Any updates

I miss your delicious food. When are you reopening in the new location.

We had gotten takeout from here many, many times, in particular it was a favorite place for basil noodles. But the last time was a couple weeks ago because a family member became severely ill after eating it. He said it tasted off but finished it anyway. For 4 days he suffered symptoms of food poisoning including vomiting, headache, dizziness and pain. FOUR DAYS!! What the hell did they sell us?!? Was it old, left out, or contaminated by improper handling??? They should be shut down.

First time checking this place and Ienjoyed two of the food items I ordered. Wish they gave me forks and napkins though with the to go bag. Luckily had some in my car.

Amazing food!!!

It's very hard to find any Thai restaurant in America-let alone on the east coast-serving 'khao soi.' They don't call it that on the menu, but they'll know what you want if you ask for it. If you have never tried khao soi (chicken yellow curry), you should. It's a game-changer, and they do it as well here as just about anywhere in Thailand even. Look for this restaurant's new location in August 2023.

Wonderfully lovely family-run Thai restaurant with delicious northern Thailand flavors. We enjoyed several dishes, including vegan and vegetarian selections. Will be back!

We enjoyed the Thai dishes from here. The food is nice portion and they are delicious. The restaurant inside is small but they offer outdoor sitting as well. Parking can be a little difficult due to their small parking lot but it's free.

My new go to spot for Thai food. Best I’ve had in the DMV.

Imaginative menu, fresh food, good presentation and friendly service.

You will have to wait for your food a little - but it’s def worth it! Very delicious and authentic!

What a gem. Northern Thailand food is hard to find in the US and this location provides the dishes we loved when visiting Chiang Mai. Amazing flavor and execution. Each dish was well prepared and served with care. The food tasted as good as it looked and was as delicious as I remember from the best Chiang Mai locations. The Chiang Mai beef had a lot of steak that was well marinated. The soup had lots of chicken, mushrooms tomatoes etc. The family enjoyed their thai ice teas.
We will return.

Very tasty food. The food takes a while to come out but its well worth the wait. The restaurant is neat and the customer service is great. Best Thai food I’ve had in the DMV!
Ordered the pad Thai with chicken and the salmon panang. Yummy!

Absolutely amazing! We tried papaya salad - refreshing, just a bit spicy, crunchy. Drunken noodles, tom yum, and special chicken tasted amazing as well.

I've been looking for a great place that have Chiang Mai noodle for the longest time. This place has the best broth in VA. I will definitely coming back for more. Everything I ordered was yummy 😋.

Fresh tasting fare, ate outside. Onlverall, very nice lunch experience. My colleague and I shared delicious spring rolls and red currey with chicken. Perfect lunch portion.

Absolutely delicious! The Drunken Noodles are amazing! Truly a “Mom and Pop” place with the baby napping in the corner and only about 6-8 tables, so not a romantic date night spot, but the food is fantastic and that’s what counts! They also do takeout orders.

Outstanding food

Best Thai food in the area

Pick your own Thai chilies in the restaurant garden if you need to spice up your dish.

Just ok. I ordered Drunken Noodles with Chicken. The dish was served luke warm and the wide noodles were chewy and tasted like a left over. I did like the spicy sauce though. The best part of the meal was the Pot Stickers and sauce....although they, too, we're served luke warm, they were tasty. I would have given 3 stars; but the good service deserved an extra star.

I preface that they preface that it is a family owned restaurant and service will be slow with 2 cooks and 1 server and it was slow but we were not in a hurry and we understanding and patient. But when the food came, it was worth it. Thai fried rice was extraordinary and my 9 yr old son almost finished the entire plate in one sitting. I ordered the Drunken Noodle. Fantastic flavor of salty sweet and spicy. It was a tad on sweet side but still delicious. The gyozas were good but not great. Again, if you are in a hurry, don't bother being a Karen and cause a scene. But if you want great food and willing to wait, you won't be disappointed. We have a new go to Asian restaurant in the neighborhood, especially Thai cuisine!

The place is families restaurant. But food is super good and Yummy. The drunken noodles is so good not too oily. I love a northern sty noodles and sausage. They made very close to Chiang Mai Thailand.😊

Family owned, authentic, and delicious. What more can you ask for?

This is one of my favorite places for Thai food in the DMV. It is a small family-run place so please be patient. I generally order their noodle dishes, and I have not had a bad dish here.

Excellent food! Small little dining room and nice outdoor patio. Family business worthy of supporting!

Amazing! Gluten free Penang curry with shrimp! And satay! Words are hard to find! Definitely some heat. Creamy and just everything it should be! All my party tasted what little was left and voted it one of their faves! Ate on the patio, so pleasant. Great atmosphere. Nice small family business that hope grows and thrives!

Absolutely fantastic.

Authentic Thai food (or maybe just from a different region). Either way excellent food and a change of pace from other Thai restaurants!

Deeeelicious!!

This place is the real deal. We tried five dishes, and everything was delicious. Even the spring rolls (not usually my personal favorite) and the relatively plain fried noodles and veggies we got for kids were super fresh and had incredible flavor. The highlights were Chiang Mai noodles and tom yum. Everything came quickly, and the service was friendly. Very glad we found this place!

Amazing food from a local restaurant, and the people are nice and helpful. One of our regular places!

Small Homey and delicious 😋

Everything tastes good, I have yet to be proven otherwise lol

We found this restaurant by chance and had a stupendously good dinner outdoors in the radiant heat of a patio heater. It's a small place, and they don't take reservations, so you have a decent chance of getting a table if you just show up outside of the peak dining hours. I don't ordinarily go to McLean, but we will be coming back again when the weather is warmer or the pandemic is finally put away.

Very tasty and fresh vegetarian option available. We are very happy with food and looking forward to visit again.

Small restaurant but food is very good service too

Best Thia food in the area

Their foods were so tasty!! I really love them. And server was very friendly. I’ll come back here again for sure!! I totally recommend this restaurant. It’s kinda hard to get there since the road was a bit confusing.

Really good soup and server was very enthusiastic

Chicken was very dry. Sauce is tasty and spicy but Portions are very small. The order also takes a long time to prepare.

Food is very good! My boyfriend and I order take out from here often. Seafood panang curry and pad kaprow are both very tasty.

Tastes like home! So mad at myself for not trying them out earlier. Got the Kanom Jeen Nam Nguaw noodle soup, green curry with tofu, papaya salad and Pad Thai with chicken for pick up and everything was amazing! I asked for the noodle soup and green curry to be Thai spicy and both dishes were wonderfully fiery! The noodle soup is a unique soup I’ve never had before. I could see adventurous eaters really loving this dish. I haven’t had any Asian curries in ages because it’s usually too rich and sweet. But here, it’s a beautifully balanced and flavorful dish. I love papaya salad and have had it everywhere and theirs is beautiful! Really appreciate that it’s not too sweet. Their pad Thai is hands down THE best I’ve ever had. It’s elegant and sophisticated, two adjectives I didn’t even know could apply to this dish. Customer service was excellent! Super nice on the phone, even called me when my order was ready and brought my order out to me!

They’re on that small road where Domino’s and the outdoor Four Seasons garden center are. This is my new go to place for Thai!

Love their food and service!

Some authentic Chiang Mai dishes with lots of Americanized overly sweet Thai dishes.

Good food

I give a lot of restaurants stellar reviews but this one is among my favorite restaurants of all time. I’m consistently blown away by the freshness and quality of their dishes. You can taste every ingredient and every ingredient is prepared to perfection. As someone who seeks out the best food across the states and has been to Thailand you’ll be hard pressed to find better Thai food anywhere.

Great authentic Thai food. Will return!

The Thai cuisine here was top notch. The complexity and balance of flavors was very well tuned. The staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating.

I purchased the Chiang Mai Curry. I'll definitely be on the search for this dish, prepared to the same level of perfection, at home in St. Louis!

Kudos to the chef!

This has to be the best pad Thai ive ever had. Dish is nice and moist without feeling oily. Not sure how they did that but it's amazing! I got veggie pad thai and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Not soggy and gross tasting/feeling, with amazing flavor.

One thing I never mention in my review are the spring rolls. I get them just about everywhere that offers it but they usually are just okay. The spring rolls here are SO GOOD. Everything about the two dishes I tried was great. They were both fresh and hot and the spring rolls still crispy and moist on the inside (but well cooked).

This place is family owned and operated and you can taste it in their food and feel it when you enter the restaurant. I picked up my order but I felt such a positive energy just being in there for 1 minute. Love this place already and plan on coming back to try more!

Best Thai restaurant in the area. Everything is fantastic. The only weak dish is the crab fried rice, could be a lot better.

We discovered this place last year and since then it has become a family staple! Their Chiang Mai Noodles are out of this world.

Really excellent Thai food from this family-run restaurant (including amazing mango and sticky rice!). Outdoor seating. Take out and delivery available.

Great food!

The best Thai food in the area! everything was so delicious!

Definitely a step above most Thai places in the DMV

Good food and very convenient location.

One of the worse restaurant. Please do not order food from there . Rude customer service .

Tasty Thai Food

Good Thai food !! I like chasing Mai food

Delicious food from a little spot in McLean!

Delicious food. Service is superb and attentive in consideration they only have one person in the front.

What a great surprise. Fantastic food, attentive service. Had a great meal. Favorite part - the chef picked the herbs from the garden!

Family owned Thai restaurant with only two people working in the entire establishment. Customer service was great and wait time was virtually not there. Food came out very hot and flavorful. Definitely recommended the fried tofu for appetizer and any entree off of the chef’s specialty section.

It’s a little tricky to find this place but the food was really excellent we enjoyed the pod Thai and the chopped chicken and basil especially the dumplings were perfect and so was the larb gai. Everything was perfectly spicy and the wait staff was excellent. The place was very clean we ate on the patio where they had hot pepper plants that had the most delicious peppers. I think we found Yet another great Thai restaurant in the DMV

Excellent food. Some of the best Thai I've had. Ever. My new go to.

Amazing food & experience!

Absolutely delicious and authentic Thai! They are doing curbside pick up ... and their food is sooo worth it! Their food is made with love and care... portions excellent and quality the best!

Awesome! Simply authentic and great service.

I'd give 4.5 , the fried calamari appetizers hard hardly calamari, that's my only complaint, more tempura and just 4 pieces of calamari. I'm a chef and a case of Calamari isn't that expensive

Delicious fresh food as always a small family run environment where chef comes out to check that all is well ;)

I thought the fried rice was good, par for the course. But their portion size was pretty small compared to other restaurants in the area. At $13 for fried rice, I definitely expected more.

Best Thai I ever had. True business family restaurant.

Check this place out. Excellent curries and friendly staff.

So good!
