Virginia Premier Tiki Bar & Thai Restaurant in Reston,VA. Here at TIKI THAI RESTON. Thaifoods, Order Online, Takeout and Delivery. TIKI THAI by SENSE OF THAI ST.
If you're looking for a fantastic Thai dining experience in Reston, look no further than Tiki Thai. As a food enthusiast, I was thoroughly impressed by every aspect of my visit.
The meal started with their new appetizer, the Lamb Satay, which was absolutely delicious. The tender, flavorful lamb paired perfectly with the accompanying sauce, setting the tone for an amazing meal. For my entree, I ordered the Pad Zee U, and it did not disappoint. The dish was rich, savory, and packed with fresh ingredients—everything you’d hope for in a classic Thai stir-fry.
To drink, I tried the Pineapple Mint Refresher, and it was a revelation! The combination of sweet pineapple and refreshing mint was the perfect complement to the meal.
The service was top-notch. Their bartender, Jame, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of our lunch.
The ambience at Tiki Thai is another highlight. The restaurant has a relaxed, family-friendly vibe that makes it a great spot for both casual outings and special occasions.
Overall, Tiki Thai exceeded my expectations. From the delicious food and drinks to the excellent service and inviting atmosphere, this is a restaurant I’ll definitely be returning to. Highly recommend!
Fun spot for delicious Thai food in a festive atmosphere. We started with the pork rinds, which come with pickled veggies and paired perfectly for a fresh new flavor. I enjoyed the Chili softshell Crab for my main at it was one of my favorite interpretations of the dishe I have seen. Well plated and perfectly balanced. The steamed pumpkin added a beautiful sweetness to the dish. The accompanying rice was not needed and took away from the flavor when added, so I left it to the side. To round out the night, there is a great selection of desserts, i enjoyed the passion fruit Brulee tart. However, the biscuit was slightly too dense and overworked.
Finally we found a great place to eat with an awesome ambiance and positive vibes.
Tiki Thai restaurant in Reston, VA is the place to go.
After hearing about this restaurant on social media my husband and I decided to try it out. We loved the colorful and fun interior décor and space around us.
Very well kept, clean, nice music, not too loud ... To add to the ambiance was outside seating that looks so cozy.
My husband ordered 'Lychee Duck Curry': duck breast, lychee, cherry tomato, finger pepper, pineapple, basil and red curry paste.
I had the 'Drunken Noodles' which I ordered with chicken, flat rice noodles, Thai basil, cherry tomato, onion, carrot, bell pepper, finger chilli pepper.
My dish was delicious and the noodles were very silky, moist and tasty. I've never had noodles that tasted this yummy 😋
a bit spicy because the Thai finger pepper is very potent. So, next time I'll request this dish a little less spicy.
My husband loved his duck very much. It was satisfying and rich in flavor. Great presentation for each dish. You can taste and see that the staff inside the kitchen knows what they're doing!
By the way I love the tiki mugs for drinks and you can purchase your favorite! How cool 😎
We had 'Gina' as our waitress who was very nice, soft spoken and professional with a clean uniform.
The lady's restroom was very clean, no odor or piles of toilet paper inside.
Husband said that the men's restroom was equally the same level of cleanliness.
I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants. From my experience, this is the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to.
We're definitely going back to taste other dishes and drinks. Because we really enjoy ourselves there.
Love this Thai restaurant!
The staff is extremely attentive and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure you're cared for. I absolutely love their "cry baby noodes" -- their version based on Netflix's Hunger. It is such a unique and delicious dish (unlike any other pad see ew dish) I've ever tried. I also love their tiki themed cocktail drinks and the environment is very fun and festive during the holidays!
Went for the first time for the Sippin Santa pop-up, and we're pretty sure we have a new holiday tradition! The drinks were super fun, food was excellent and staff were very kind and attentive despite a completely full house (glad we made a reservation) Will be back for the food and fun atmosphere any time of year, but already looking forward to the next Christmas!
i went here for lunch today, 7/23/2024. I ordered some calamari, a side of Brussel sprouts, and the spicy basil stir fry. The food was filling and flavored. They had unsweetened iced tea. The service was fast. I will have to try the curry options next time. overall very good
We absolutely love Tiki Thai. We are major foodies...so, we eat out a lot. The food is fresh and delicious. The service, atmosphere, decor, and presentation make the entire experience a must repeat. I'm an appetizer lover, and the Phuket Rangoon (crab/salmon/cream cheese) is a hands-down favorite. I also loved the Chicken Satay. The peanut sauce was superb, and I was very impressed with the unique plating. Overall 5+ Stars!!!
Update 2024. We came for happy Hour at 430pm. Bar was relatively worst. Drink and food specials are good. The Tofu Wings were pretty good. The Larb gai was good, but definitely needs some more flavor and was definitely dry compared to what I have had in the past. Still a great place for food and drinks.
Update (1 yr later 2023). This place is still awesome. We are at the bar. The bartenders, especially Dave and Marcus are excellent. Food is consistent and tasty.
Not your typical Thai restaurant. The food is quite good , the cocktails are excellent and the vibe is awesome. We usually sit at the bar and always enjoy it. On Friday and Saturday nights, the vibe is like a club.
Tiki Thai has a nice vibe for hanging out. Our waitress served us frequently and quietly so we can enjoy our conversation. The dishes are in deceiving big portions. By deceiving I mean there’s a lot of rice or noodles, but portion of meat and veggies is little. Overall, everything is too sweet. Considering their price is about $10 higher than other Thai restaurants, if I just want to have a good meal, I would go somewhere else. If I want to have pretty drinks, I don’t mind going.
Super fun atmosphere and decor. Attentive service, delicious food 😋.
Really good! I typically don’t like Thai food but holy cow that food was good. I got some kind of ginger chicken I believe and it was really good! I ate everything and was so happy. I’d recommend you try this place out!
Love this Thai restaurant!

This place was amazing! This Thai food was the delicious and perfect! I love the decor, the cleanliness, and especially the employees, they were so kind and helpful. 10/10 recommended.
Some hits, some misses. Bland spring rolls and crab fried rice. Outstanding pad Thai and specialty noodles. Great holiday destination. Fun atmosphere.
Beautiful restaurant, pretty authentic Thai food. Good cocktail. Fast service. Good a work lunch.

Couple weeks ago I was sitting on the bar with friends the bartender ask us to save 2 chairs and said to me it reserved ( I’m cool with that so we can reserve if would like to come next time ) I called last week the lady put me on hold ( pickup the phone pretending she could not hear me ) I asked her if I can make reservations for the bar she said we can’t it walk in ( I’m good with that ) I want there it was very crowded ( no limit for the capacity!!! at the bar and the front lady try to kick us out it was 9:30 and said the kitchen closed at 11 ok still have time I was standing there for 5 min no one say hi to us the bar only 10 chairs very small (drink and food is good but the bar need too much work to have more space) and the front lady need to be change and should be there manger or owner watch the employees what they are doing ( kicking the customers after 9:30 ) unwelcome and bad hospitality . I don’t recommend it at all very crowded and unhappy team , expensive food
Great food. Had the calamari and Tom yum soup, both delicious!
Excellent food. Very tasty. The decor is really good. Serving is very good. Staff is very helpful and courteous
I ordered the duck curry and can tell it was by no means fresh. The curry sauce itself was good. The issue here is the food is usually good..5 stars in fact.
Amazing craft bartenders, delicious food- one of my favorites!!
Went for the first time for the Sippin Santa pop-up, and we're pretty sure we have a new holiday tradition! The drinks were super fun, food was excellent and staff were very kind and attentive despite a completely full house (glad we made a reservation) Will be back for the food and fun atmosphere any time of year, but already looking forward to the next Christmas!
So disappointed with the services. I have been to all 3 location multiple times and by far this place is the worst. The bartender RYAN was disrespectful and super unprofessional. He was definitely nice and friendly to certain people that he seemed to like or know. It’s unfortunate, because the food is great but the service here specially from the bartenders are HORRIBLE. The only friendly staff that we came accross were the servers. One of them was MARGO. This server was definitely sweet and friends. I would suggest you guys retrain your bartenders.
The curries are so good (duck lychee!!). And the decor is fun.
I recently visited this restaurant, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Our waiter was incredibly rude, practically throwing the menu onto our table. The food was also disappointing—both the shrimp and chicken smelled raw and unpleasant, which led me to return my meal.
When we requested the menu to order something else, the waiter responded with noticeable attitude. To make matters worse, as we were leaving, the staff didn’t even wait for us to clear the table before attempting to take the plates. One of them even asked me to hand them the plates, which I’ve never seen happen in a restaurant before. Another staff member bent over to grab items from the table and ended up touching my friend’s straw, making the drink undrinkable.
The most frustrating part of the experience was discovering that a 20% service fee was automatically included in the bill. It became clear why there was no effort to provide good customer service!!!

Beautiful holiday decor. Very good food.
I always get the crab fried rice here! I’m so upset I don’t have a picture of it. It ALWAYS HITS! I also like their drink menu. They have unique blends for sure. 👍 love it
Service was pretty good, but the food wasnt really good.
The food is decent but service is very bad. Person serving our table was not friendly, didn’t care to refill even water, and eas unpleasant.
Hello There,
While your food is great….i think u need to train staff on how to talk….else your hardwork will only go down the drain.
I was at your restaurant today Nov 24th at about 2pm. I was at table B3 and Gina served us.
When we sat down she walked up to us and asked what I am going to order. I ordered my drink but for food I said I will need another min. The stare she gave me and walked away….i think it was just totally impolite. If she is overworked that is not my problem. She needs to talk to her boss about it. I have been coming to your place for long and I tip all your waiters appropriately. So I expect at least basic courtesy.
I don’t want her serving me again. And one more rude behavior and I am not coming back there again. We have multiple choices. What she is doing is putting the hardwork and good behavior of other waiters to drain.
Hope she learns her mistake.
Cheers,
Srinivas
We've come here a couple of times, with our last time being today for lunch. The cocktails are always absolutely fantastic with just the right amount of boozy. The food here also never disappoints. Our family had the cry baby noodles, drunken noodles, duck ramen, and crab dip, and each dish was very flavorful with fresh ingredients. The servers were also very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The decoration and ambience here is fun and feels so unique and special. This place has a lot of heart and warmth.
I ordered takeout. The white rice was squeezed into a tiny ball and wrapped in cellophane. It kept it separate from the crispy beef, which was tasty, but it was not the most appealing way to serve food as it all just stuck together. Serving was also very small. Flavor was excellent though.
Enjoyed their pad thai noodles and healthy rolls.
The best cocktail bar in Reston no question. The food is reliable and very tasty. The servers are fantastic. Unfortunately they allow vaping at the bar, which I find really disappointing. That's my only complaint.
I recently dined at Tiki Thai and, unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfying. The food was mediocre, but what really disappointed me was the sizzling seafood dish I ordered. At $27, I expected a substantial seafood platter, but what I received was over half the plate filled with broccoli and cauliflower. It felt like they were using vegetables as filler instead of serving the seafood that was advertised. To charge that amount for a dish where seafood is practically an afterthought is outrageous.
Let me be clear: do not use inflation or other excuses to justify this kind of cost. $27 for a seafood dish with barely any seafood is simply a scam. The taste was nothing to write home about either — very bland and uninspired. I would not recommend this restaurant, and I certainly won’t be going back.
Nice place to grab a drink, a bite to drink, and catch up with a friend. Very welcoming vibe with pretty good food. I got the Cry Baby Noodles which isn’t normally spicy but I asked for spicy and it was decently spicy! I have a pretty high spice tolerance and this was basically perfect for a meal I want some spice but not regret being born.
The Paneng Curry was excellent. I want to try it again when I return.
Great Thai food in Reston.
The nightlife here is always amazing, and the food is just as great! The tropical fruits in the drinks add a unique, strong, and delicious flavor, giving them a distinctive taste. The tiki bar’s open, tropical style gives Reston Town Center a lively and fun vibe. I’ve been coming here for about 5-6 years, and it’s always been a blast! Definitely a spot I’d recommend to both friends and out-of-towners. 5 stars!
Finally we found a great place to eat with an awesome ambiance and positive vibes.
Tiki Thai restaurant in Reston, VA is the place to go.
After hearing about this restaurant on social media my husband and I decided to try it out. We loved the colorful and fun interior décor and space around us.
Very well kept, clean, nice music, not too loud ... To add to the ambiance was outside seating that looks so cozy.
My husband ordered 'Lychee Duck Curry': duck breast, lychee, cherry tomato, finger pepper, pineapple, basil and red curry paste.
I had the 'Drunken Noodles' which I ordered with chicken, flat rice noodles, Thai basil, cherry tomato, onion, carrot, bell pepper, finger chilli pepper.
My dish was delicious and the noodles were very silky, moist and tasty. I've never had noodles that tasted this yummy 😋
a bit spicy because the Thai finger pepper is very potent. So, next time I'll request this dish a little less spicy.
My husband loved his duck very much. It was satisfying and rich in flavor. Great presentation for each dish. You can taste and see that the staff inside the kitchen knows what they're doing!
By the way I love the tiki mugs for drinks and you can purchase your favorite! How cool 😎
We had 'Gina' as our waitress who was very nice, soft spoken and professional with a clean uniform.
The lady's restroom was very clean, no odor or piles of toilet paper inside.
Husband said that the men's restroom was equally the same level of cleanliness.
I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants. From my experience, this is the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to.
We're definitely going back to taste other dishes and drinks. Because we really enjoy ourselves there.
The prices are too high for what it is— it’s just bar food. Three of the ordered items came fried (no mention of that on the menu). The restaurant smelled a bit like dirty mop water and if you look at the ceiling, there are dust balls on the ceiling panels. The interior decor was fun, the service was friendly. Not worth another visit, though.
The food was tasty, service was decent but for lunch it was far too loud if you're interested in hearing your lunch mate talk😉
We took my friend here for a birthday dinner with a party of 10 and had a great time! The theme was fun, the waiters were attentive, and the food was yummy! Really wide range of choices and add-ons on the menu.
It's fun to get the mai tai drink tower to share with friends, especially if you like a heavy pour!
I was discriminated at this establishment. Will not go back to this establishment and as an attorney, they should be glad I am not pursuing further. Waste of my time. It was my first time here because of friend but I would not go back again!
Extremely rude staff. They have no training in customer service whatsoever. Every person on the team needs training in customer service and how to be simply pleasant to customers. There are many choices of Thai restaurants- never going back. Food was also not as expected.
Poor service, mediocre food, and expensive
- Service seems rude and rushed.
- BEWARE ... To rub it in, an outrageous 20% service charge for 6+ people is forced on you.
- Brown colored food feels over-flavored and tastes the same, regardless of the rice or noodles dish ordered.
- Spice level depends on your luck. You can specify the spice level but food may be super hot or super mild, and neither is desirable.
- While the menu may specify a bunch of greens in a dish, you will hardly get anything in the prepared dish.
- I've even had a stomach upset from eating their food.
- If you thought things couldn't get any worse, the takeout experience gets even worse.
This place used to be good, but not any more.
The food here is delicious. I have visited a few times here they have maintained the quality of food. In the recent times the staff is really rude and not welcoming
Came for the first time on a Wednesday evening, and it was such a pleasant experience. Tried the Pineapple Fried Rice with an old fashion 🥃 🍍 did not disappoint ! 🙂 Will definitely be coming back. Bartenders are so outgoing and service is top notch!
Spicy salad was like eating soggy vinegar veggies with crazy spicy inedible peanut sauce. Couldn't eat.
Went for a Friday dinner. We were glad it is not too occupied and we could find table as soon as we went. The ambience was good and the service was quick but I can’t recommend this restaurant much based on the food we had. Fried oyesters had this bad taste that you get when the oil used for frying has been reused for too long and some of the oyesters came burnt out. Same with coconut shrimp and it was hard to chew while it should have been soft. Then we ordered ka pow fried rice and pat pad Thai noodles. They both were drenched in a heavy sauce and both tasted so sweet that it felt like a dessert. Only item we enjoyed were spring rolls, dessert, and the drinks. Overall I didn’t feel like this is an authentic Thai food experience.
Dang what happened the past 2-3 months? Did y’all hire chipotle manager? Entree/dinner portion is the same as lunch portion? It was literally half the amount of food what I usually got few months ago. Taste was alright, nothing mind blowing. I raved about Tiki Thai to people because of the generous portion! Well now that’s gone… Are pad Thai ingredients that expensive? It does have nice bar and atmosphere I guess. Probably unlucky day, still hella disappointed.
Unique menu and you can't go wrong.
A vibrant place which serves some amazing food. Loved their food, interiors, staff and music. My lil one chose this place for a mom and daughter date. Lil one being a shrimp lover for appetizer she chose the coconut shrimp with came with a siracha mayo which absolutely complimented the crispy shrimps. For main course we decided to order Sa-Maui Lo Mein which was outstanding…I highly recommend this dish. It was loaded with chicken, shrimp, pineapple, noodles and the flavor of the dish exploded in our mouth. The other dishes ordered are healthy roll and Tai Curry combo. Those healthy rolls with a peanut sauce/dressing was so amazing but in the lunch combo they only give single peice of appetizer.
Highly recommend this place!!!!!!
i went here for lunch today, 7/23/2024. I ordered some calamari, a side of Brussel sprouts, and the spicy basil stir fry. The food was filling and flavored. They had unsweetened iced tea. The service was fast. I will have to try the curry options next time. overall very good
I'm no expert on Thai food and have only been to a handful. However, this beast all the others for me!!! I tried the shishito beef, crab fried rice, fried oysters, pork rinds and a northbound drink too too it off. All were binge worthy! Beef was seasoned just perfect. Lumps of Crab (that can seen) throughout rice, not just a few shredded pieces like I've had elsewhere. As for the pork rinds... I won't be buying the store versions ever again! This will be my go to for awhile :)
This is a favorite of our family. The food is amazing and the tropical theming sets the mood. They have many Thai classics along with a few specials. If you're not sure what to get (though almost everything is great), ask your waiter about their favorites and they'll be happy to help. Their panang curry and fried rices are our favorites. Also: They have a live band on Monday evenings and a DJ Friday night!
Amy is absolutely great, she me made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Also, the food is great quality!
A go to place for locals who can walk on over. There is free parking across the street. Every dish was delicious and they actually bring the heat when you go for Drunken Noodles.
Great food
Highly recommend must visit once
I used to love this place but it seems the service has gone downhill. I kept on trying to see if it just happened to be my unlucky day to receive such bad attitude from the servers but I gave up after the third attempt and the food was not great anymore. I do understand negative reviews dramatically affect small business but I’m just disappointed for a potential restaurant that could have been a real gem in Reston area! The vibe and the majority of staff here are (or were) awesome tho!
Excellent service and food 👌
Tonight we waited 40 minutes for our waitress to take our order. During that time she brought water and literally never came back. We ended up leaving….by the time we got to the car they were busing our table.
Of note during that time we watched her take two tables orders that came in after us in our section. Never had this experience at any other restaurant
Love this place. It is better than its sister place in many ways. I need to go more.
I love everything about this place. The food is fresh and seasoned well. Definitely try the starred items. Their fried rice is seasoned so well. Steamed dumplings are stuffed with chicken and pork. The pad Thai is chef's kiss.
Food, drinks, service! Everything is great 😃
Walked in with a cut finger, asked for a bandaid, Ava busted out the whole first aid kit to make sure my small wound was dressed properly. On top of that I got a Tiki shot and the Painkiller #2 and both were phenomenal!
This Is a great place for some late night drinks and fun atmosphere. The music is always trendy and gets the vibe , love the fact that they’re open so late. Most places usually close at 10 here. I either come here for lunch specials or late nights Drinks with friends or coworkers
The food is good too. I ordered the drunken noodles, thai tea and I got the dessert as well. All of it were a solid 10 on 10.
The server was very nice and she was very attentive. I asked her for a cappuccino with the latte art and it was very cute.
I really had a wonderful experience here. The food was phenomenal.. the restaurant was lovely and very nicely decorated. It has beautiful artifacts from Thailand and large windows so it makes you feel like you’re sitting outside even if you’re sitting inside and even the tables are nice and comfortable.. we ordered a few extra dishes to try out new things and everything tasted amazing. Slightly pricy compared to other Thai restaurants for the quality of food I would consider it reasonably priced… and the service was pretty good. Everyone that greeted us or assisted us was very cordial and hospitable! I’ll definitely be coming back to this place for more!!!!! Thank you for a lovely experience :)
One of the few places where the Panang Gai is as good as my own.
I love Thai food, and this was so good that we went there twice during our stay in the area!!
Friendly service, but it gets packed so make sure you book a table.
Don't expect a romantic meal, as it gets very busy (for good reason) and as a result it has a great atmosphere.
Worst service waitresses is screaming on customers and food worst they donot know how to cook Drunken Noodles
And food is cold may be using microwave to heat the food.
Very disappointed not going to visit again.
The food would be enough to garner 5 stars but the people who work there make the experience exceptional. I feel like I am on vacation when I am there. Thank you Tiki Thai!
It's date night or girls day out...this place is great for everything. Food is super good
Yum!
excellent service and food. Near closing time so was busy
The food is really good, various verity of dishes to eat.
People allergic to nuts should be a little careful and check the menu as lot of dishes have nuts.
The ambience is really bright and nice.
It looks like a hit for people from Indian origin as the food is close to the indo-Chinese food we get in the restaurant.
The parking is limited in the premise and free for first 3 hours which is enough if you are dining there.
There is additional paid parking adjacent to the building.
The food almost always never disappoints. The service depending on how busy they are can vary and could improve but is not a major issue. The atmosphere and ambience makes this place special. Our favorites are mai Thai # 1, the fried calamari and pad Thai. They are classics and you can never go wrong with them
The bartender is unfriendly and unprofessional. The manager was professional and friendly
Worst food. It used to be really good and our go to Thai place. But recently as it has become busy the food quality has deforested. I just ordered basil veg fried rice and they forgot to put basil sauce in it. It was so dry and they just added red chillies. They charge good price for their food but unfortunately the quality has deteriorated. Atleast they can serve the right thing ordered
Taste of food was not bad but terrible service. Will never go there.
I have given Tiki Thai numerous opportunities to impress, and it has fallen short. I have ordered their food a handful of times and only done carry out. My most recent order was this evening.
Ordered: Cry Baby Noodles, and Pad Thai.
Cry Baby Noodles: The flavors were good. Reminds me of pad see ew with more garlic and different toppings. The noodles were unevenly sauced and slightly undercooked. I'm a big fan of noodles being stir fried so that the sauce caramelizes onto the noodle and creates some browning. The execution reminds me of someone who threw all the ingredients together quickly, but didn't take the time to thoroughly stir fry them together. I also prefer the egg to be stir fried into the dish. Tiki Thai likes putting the scrambled egg on top of the dish.
Pad Thai: Good flavor, but also slightly undercooked for my liking. The noodles lack the caramelization in a good pad thai dish.
Both dishes were average portion size.
If these dishes were priced similarly to some other Thai restaurants in the area, I would probably come back. However, these dishes are priced at a premium, 30-40% higher than other great Thai restaurants nearby. The extra cost doesn't justify the amount of food and quality of food.
On a side note, Tiki Thai is in a great location and has a great ambiance, so hopefully the dine in experience is much better than carry out.
The Dj’s speakers were just too quiet :/
I usually come here on Friday nights to eat, drink and vibe to the music from the live DJ. But for some reason the speakers are messed up tonight. Can barely hear a thing. The vibe isn’t the same. I hope they can fix the speakers soon or I may have to find another spot to vibe at on Fridays.
I love coming to Tiki Thai! The vibe is great. I always come for the dj and dancing but the speakers are all messed up and I can barely hear the music. Hope this gets resolved soon!
Usually great late night! Only thing that was really disappointing was the speakers being wayyy too quiet on a dj night. Nearly impossible to dance to, sounded like someone was playing music in another room :(
DJ speakers were too quiet :/
I do love chilling at this place. Both front and back of house employees are amazing. The vibe is immaculate. So I will keep the atmosphere at 5 stars. With that being said the speakers have been really messed up this past week. Especially tonight, came for the dj and the speakers were too quiet.
atmosphere was awesome. speaker was kinda weak.
Honestly one of the best Thai foods we’ve had. The chicken satay was so good we got another one before we were even done with the one we get. The ground chicken dish I was phenomenal, and the Penang curry my girlfriend got was also amazing. Our server was so nice and polite and really made the overall experience amazing. Please do yourself a favor and stop by here.

Atmosphere: very decorated, very clean, very friendly, yay
Awesome place
I was there for happy hour, so it was kinda crowded, but overall I was satisfied with the food and services.
Good food, served promptly, with pleasant and attentive service. Recommended.
Reston Location - The quality for the price has gone downhill over there years. I used to get a lunch special once or twice a month, but the past few times (including my most recent visit), I have been dissatisfied. My phuket rangoons are slightly cold in the middle; used to be piping hot. My Drunken Noodles have become tasteless. I try to add spice and switch out the meats, but it doesnt do anything for the taste. These two items alone will cost above $30 so being dissatisfied (consistently) is not worth the price.
Caveat: Not sure if the taste is better during dinner or even dine in.
Great food. Lovely staff. Very fair prices.
This place is a unicorn. Great and friendly staff, great food, great atmosphere. Very fun on weekends. I wish there were more places like this. Get the Samui Lo mein. Very delicious. But I love nearly everything on the menu.
Forgettable Thai food when you live in Seattle, but some of the best cocktails I've had. The Underberg Rye Thai is incredible if you like bitter drinks.
Food is yummy😋
disappointed in the takeout amounts lately... half the amount of curry that it normally is. iced coffee is almost double other places. will be going back to la ong thai, theyre all pretty much the same around here, just varied pricing
"Tiki Thai offers a blend of flavors with some hits and misses. While their dishes lean towards the expensive side and portions may not be the most generous, their premium tacos stand out for their crunch and value for money. The ambiance and decor evoke a vibe atmosphere, adding to the dining experience."
Restaurants forces one person pick up a bill for ten people because servers are lazy. Forces a 20 percent service charge and refuses to split the bill.
Absolutely amazing Thai food in a very nice and relaxing atmosphere. Great attention to detail and quick and friendly service. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Great service, food, and cocktails!
It’s a very rare occurrence when an establishment’s Mai Tai is better than my own. Fantastic tiki cocktails.
Drunken noodles is superb, at night, the bar is so good to spend time with friends after work
Good drinks, food, service, and staff.
I visited Tiki Thai for the first time. We were welcomed with a smile and guided to our table. The server was very friendly and polite and helped us with our questions about drinks. The ambience was cozy and full of love, with Valentines around the corner. The food was tasty, piping hot and scrumptious.
We all left the restaurants with smiles and fully belly after a hearty dinner. A definite recommendation for thai cuisine lovers.
This review is mostly for the one item I got that was simply horrible. Don’t order the Coconut Shrimp. It was golden on the outside and tasted like pure breading on the inside. Tasted cheap and def subpar quality. Sat in the bar area and barely was noticed. No ask on refills of drinks or water until I got up to ask one of the bartenders and finally got service. In the words of Randy Jackson, “it’s a no for me, dawg!” On, almost forgot.. the Painkiller#2 also avoid.. the pain was the insane amount of ice and the lack of flavor. Had better!
When this restaurant opened during pandemic, we tried a few times the food was good, since recently there’s no welcoming greeting customer service went bad, food became too salty or to oily. the management definitely need improvement.
Phenomenal authentic Thai food and creative classic and contemporary tiki cocktails.
The Pad Thai is the most authentic that I've had anywhere outside of Bangkok, as is the Basil Chicken.
The Mai Tai #1 and #2 are absolutely authentic, and follow the classic Trader Vic and Donn The Beachcomber recipes. The Missed Calls is a great contemporary cocktail, and the Queens Park Swizzle was good, but should have been mixed instead of flavoring the presentation.
VERY highly recommended!
Fun place with a good vibe. Kid friendly
Food and Ambience is good. But services by Joom server is not at all good. She is really frustrated and not at all interested in serving.
Perfect place to have a great meal. Service was outstanding
Stopped by for a quick lunch with my partner and this place never disappoints. Tasty food, attentive service and pleasant visit. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
