Very good place! My go to for good thai food :)

Diner Review №11

I am a big fan of Thai food. There is room for improvement in the recipes used. Spring rolls were tasteless. Soup low on flavor. we were served the main dish first and the soup next and the appetizer last.

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

They are open till 11 pm, which is great. Good parking lot. The restaurant is clean, and the food was served pretty fast. The drunken noodles and panang curry were great. The food was fresh. My only issue was the drunken noodles had too many onions..less Noodles and more onions. That's why I give 4 stars.

Diner Review №34

Awesome place!

Diner Review №49

I got takeout and it was so delicious.
Got the pad Thai for myself and my husband and it was great. I got a soup Tom yum and we got two appetizers. Spring roll and fresh roll. They were all really tasty. And it didn’t hurt my stomach like some other takeout places can mess u up. The other reviews are right about portion size. The portions are on the smaller side but honestly I don’t mind because it’s to keep the prices down. It was enough food to make me full. Def tasted like authentic Thai food. The person who answered the phone was friendly and helpful. Overall enjoyable experience and would recommend!!

Diner Review №50

Terrible service. The lady yells at you non stop for your over, the man barks at you if you ask a question and they make the entire experience awful. Don’t go!

Diner Review №63

I ordered vegetarian pad thai. It was made on the animal fat. Absolutely gross and disgusting 🤮 🤮 if a client orders vegetarian meal this is because he or she MOST LIKELY doesn’t eat meat, animal fat falls into this category.

Diner Review №64

Awesome food

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

Best Thai in Nova! Soup, Pad Thai and Curry! A+

Diner Review №67

This place has gone down hill. The problem is they think making a dish “Thai hot” is about piling on chilly flakes !! Not good

Diner Review №68

i've been coming here for many years and it was my introduction to thai street food 🥰

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

This review is based on Uber Eats delivery experience. I got tofu, which I normally love in all types. This tofu was raw on the inside and tasted awful. The panang curry had rubbery chicken and the flavor was grease, not curry. They wrapped sticky rice in cling wrap, which melted onto the rice and I couldn't even try it. I spent $50 on three bites of food that I then had to toss because it was not palatable at all.

Diner Review №71

Wow is all I can say🤩. Best Thai food in the DMV, thank you.

Diner Review №72

Writing this just I finished a meal here! This restaurant has quickly become one of my go to spots, the food is better than other Thai places I've been to and the portions are generous. The prices are totally worth it and the staff is friendly and has super quick service too. I would never debate the choice of coming back here again and again!!

Diner Review №73

Thai by Thai is my favorite Thai restaurant in the area! Authentic, consistently good dishes, fast service, and good prices. Everything you want in a Thai restaurant. Saves me every time I don't have time to cook, don't know what I'd do without them!

Diner Review №74

Tom Kha soup and drunken noodles YUMMY! Portions are generous, but I didn’t think to take the picture until later. It was so good. Have also enjoyed their green papaya salad, and pad pick pow and mango sticky rice many times.

Diner Review №75

We need to visit this place again! The food is just so good from the rice to the other ingredients.

The place is so neat and the service was just straight forward nothing fancy.

You know this is a legit place when a lot of thai people visit here. Worth the visit!

I've had a great experience with this restaurant and the owners. The food was great. Typical Thai restaurant meals but it tasted great and wasn't too greasy. The place is nice and relaxing and clean.

The reason for the five stars is because the owners are truly great people who understand customer service. I placed a catering order a few days ahead of time and everything was set up fine. The night before I realized that I had ordered way too much food. I raced to the restaurant an hour before they opened and explained my mistake. The owners were very understanding and accommodating. They changed the order, even though it meant a lot less money for them, without any worry, and they were super kind and friendly throughout.

This is my new spot for Thai food.

Diner Review №101

My portion of pork and shrimp drunken noodles on Saturday May 4 last hour of service was PITIFUL. Kids meal portion. Worst than that. The flavoring and seasoning was mediocre in comparison. The Reston location was great during the pandemic, it’s too bad they shut down.

For almost $20, my portion should not be kids size.

Diner Review №102

The beef Pad Thai was so good! I will definitely order it again.

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

A mixed bag with this place- been there wtwice now..if you are eating in as a person of color, they go out of their way to make you uncomfortable or unwelcome…they also skimp out on the size of your meal especially the protein and rice- as though it depends on their mood or something else. Not very welcoming- the lady at the counter could not be bothered with providing a receipt or a cup for my soda. While I was tapping my card to pay, she just left me there standing and disappeared …I waited for 5 minutes and she didn’t reappear so I just went to sit and I did not bring it up because it was so awkward and uncomfortable from the start. It is rather apparent what will be left to the imagination here

Very nice food and very good staff 👌

Diner Review №111

So, we have been getting takeout here for many years and it has slowly been declining in portion size and taste while increasing in price. Tonight we made our last order. The portions were half of what they have been and bland af so we are done with these guys. Been contemplating this for a while since the place always seems on the edge of acceptable dirtiness when picking up.

Diner Review №112

Upon entering the restaurant, you first pass through a corridor where you can view photos of the dishes, then proceed to the counter to place your order. After finding a seat, the staff will bring the dishes, and beverages or ice water are self-service. The restaurant has approximately 30 seats.

The portion sizes of the food are not very large, but they are all delicious. I usually don't eat green peppers, but they are seasoned well here that I even dare to eat them now. We ordered a total of seven dishes, and they were all very tasty.

My only concern is the use of their plate. Melamine are not suitable for serving hot foods, and all of their plate is made of melamine, whether it's my fried tofu or green curry.

Diner Review №113

My family and I have been coming here since 2007! Love everything about TBT—food, service, even other patrons. Cannot go wrong with literally anything on the menu. Their spice level is accurate, too. Finish off lunch or dinner with coconut sticky rice with mango, and you’ve had a perfect meal!

Diner Review №114

Wonderful place for a quick meal. The quality of food is excellent and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We'll definitely be making this a regular stop.

Diner Review №115

Best Thai food in the area!

Diner Review №116

Consistently delicious!

Diner Review №117

This place is a bright, comfortable restaurant where you pay and order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. When I visited 7 years ago, I was disappointed by their Panang curry. When I visited today, they had things on the menu that I had never seen before. I ordered a Southern Thai dish. All I can say is that it was delicious!

Diner Review №118

Exelente atención y muy delicioso todo encantado espero regresar pronto

Diner Review №119

Great food for a reasonable price. They are not afraid to make your food spicy if you ask for it prepared that way.

Diner Review №120

I ordered Pad se ew to go. When I got home I found out that my order was burnt, I called so they could rectify the situation but instead the manager lady took over the phone and tried to convince me that this is how they make this dish. My beef was burnt, my noodles were burnt and it is not my first time eating pad se ew. I offered to send them pictures cuz she kept convincing me. After the cook saw the pictures he agreed that it was burnt, and then the manager lady called me that it was burnt but kept making excuses about it. She wanted me to get store credit for my dish or bring it back. I have already ordered and picked it up and I wasn't even asking for the money just the food but they insisted either I come back with the food or they can't have it delivered. Terrible customer service, burnt food, and the manager lady tried to convince me that this is how they make pad se ew....would not recommend.

I've been coming here since I was in middle school and it's always stayed consistent and delicious. The staff is amazing, so sweet and very attentive. I've never had any issues here and would really recommend their fried pork ribs (the sauce is the best part tbh) and their Pad See Ew never misses! Thank you Thai by Thai serving good, authentic Thai food for so long here in Sterling!

I ordered the Panang chicken. It came out room temp, look like it tried to be microwaved but the worst part is that there were little white hair/bristles everywhere in it. All over the broccoli and in the broth. When we complained they insisted they made it fresh and offered to make a new one but we would have to pay. Unreal! The hot water for tea was murky and look like the pot had never been cleaned. Overall lousy place.
