First time at this Urban Thai. Love the taste. Very very good. We order papaya salad, Yenta Four, Tom Sab, Mango & Sticky rice and few more dishes to take home. All delicious. ?
Had a nice dining experience. I really liked the fact that Thai iced bubble tea wasn't super sweet. I really enjoyed the food. Quick and friendly service.

Urban Thai has been a staple for my yearly visits to Crystal City. This year I got the crispy duck (pictured) and it was delicious. The place was chill, the waitress was nice. Definitely a recommendation.

I tried the tofu pad see ew and it was amazing! Great flavor! The waitstaff was very kind and attentive!Dietary restrictions: They had very clear outlines of vegetarian options, and I was able to ask for them to not include eggs to make the dish vegan friendly. They also offer vegetable and tofu as options for their dishes.

I'm addicted to the fresh goodness of their food. This is the best Thai cuisine I've had locally.Parking: Street parking might be available but there is a small free lot as well
Urban Thai in Crystal City! The authenticity of their Esarn Thai cuisine is a true gem, delivering a delightful taste experience. The Crispy Chicken Larb Rice stands out as a highly recommended dish, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to flavorful and authentic Thai delights. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine Thai cuisine!

Excellent food and Customer Service. The waitress was very friendly and always had a beautiful smile on her face. Wish I could have gotten her name.
Tom yum soup was on point, Pad Thai is perfect too, I was too full but had to order a to-go desert because I’m also a big advocate of mango sticky rice. The place is lovely with very Thai-ish decorates and music. The prices are reasonable compared to where I’m from(yes, I’m from the Bay Area) my stomach and I are very happy.

Good Thai food. Not the best I’ve ever had. Some of the veggies in my curry didn’t taste the freshest. But overall, good. Service was quick and I enjoyed the unassuming atmosphere. The peanut sauce with the spring roll is to die for.

Thai food is my favorite, and I'm really not that picky-- I've been to so many different places, and only twice have I been disappointed. This was the third.The papaya salad was different than any I've had before-- in looks and lack of flavor. But the shrimp on it was really good. I tend to pick from items on any menu that indicate spiciness. The dish I chose had 3 flames, but came out mild. I never expect food in the US to be super spicy, but NO HEAT with 3 flames is ridiculous. Then 2/3 of my bowl was rice-- another first from a Thai place. (I also think they used white pepper, which is how I think feet would taste, but I don't blame them for this; it just added to my dissatisfying meal.) My friend liked her meal though.The service was pretty good. Our server was attentive. But the music was so loud, my friend and I had to yell at each other like we were in a bar.I only write this because the 4.4 stars is what brought me here, and I ended up being very disappointed.
