Delicious! Visited with friends for dinner and had such a delicious time! Loved the cozy atmosphere and the delicious food! Was fortunate enough to try the crispy duck and the crispy pork belly, and will definitely be back to try the recommended pineapple fried rice, which looked amazing. We ordered the homemade coconut ice cream at the end of our meal and were blown away by how fresh and delicious it was. I texted a friend to recommend this spot before we even left.

I don't know what happened. Use to be good but now everything's so rich and SALTY. Look forward to lots of water and hydrating, for dessert. The pad se ew was so salty it was NOT edible. I've had them the last 3 times for thai night cuz I remember them being good and thought it was a fluke, but nope! It was worse everytime.. SALTY SALTY SALTY. Will be finding a new place for thai night.

This place is great and becoming more of a staple in my household for meals every few weeks. The food is fresh and excellent to taste. They have many choices on the menu and heat levels if you like it spicy. The staff is kind and informative on food choices and always friendly when visiting. The interior is small but cozy and warming. Very clean. This place must do well as everytime I order food for pick up there are always many orders and people in and out with food. An excellent choice if your in the area and the price is just right. Will continue to purchase from them as long as they keep up the high standards. Thanks

I got the Braise Beef Ka Pow and went ahead and dared fate with the Thai Spicy level. It was easily in the top 3 speciest dishes I have ever consumed and I was NOT let down. The beef was also cooked perfectly and I can't wait to order again once I recover the nerve endings in my face! Much love ❤️

I really like their ka nam jeeb. The basil eggplant was so tasty too. The Penang curry was too sweet for me, but otherwise decent.

Love this place! It is the best Thai restaurant in the Herndon/Reston area. The people are always friendly and attentive. I especially love their Basil Eggplant, Drunken Noodle, and Pineapple Fried Rice. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Most of the dishes can be made vegetarian. You can replace the meat with vegetables or tofu.Dietary restrictions: Many Gluten-Free options. Just ask whether your dish can be made gluten-free.

I'll start off with the 'good' about this restaurant. Their food is good - on a par with other Thai restaurants in the area, and it's not as expensive as most of the other Thai restaurants in the area. Now the bad. Their service is absolutely atrocious and not worth the aggravation to save a few bucks dining here. At least, this is very true with their ability to accept orders placed online via their own webpage. I ordered food for my family from here via their website around 7 PM and received a confirmation of my order stating that my order would be ready for pickup by 7:35. I went to the restaurant to pick up my order at the scheduled time, and it wasn't ready, but they told it should be ready soon - maybe 3 minutes. 45 minutes later, I'm still sitting there waiting for my order. It became obvious, they hadn't even started to prepare my order until I had showed up expecting it to be ready for pickup, but even still, waiting another 45 minutes for something to even be cooked was a ridiculously long time - especially considering the restaurant wasn't even that busy and only had about 4 tables with diners...I also watched multiple other orders go out the door that apparently had been called in - not ordered online. I guess the gist of this is that this restaurant is so technologically incompetent that they simply don't recognize or even process online orders, and when they do acknowledge they received an order (when someone shows up at the stated pickup time), they're so dysfunctional and disorganized that it takes another 45 minutes to prepare 2 simple entrees (Pad Thai and Drunken Noodle) and 3 simple side dishes (Spring rolls, Chicken Satay, and some really nasty tasting fried Pork Belly) - and while the food was good, it was really just average when compared to other Thai restaurants in the area and definitely NOT WORTH the aggravation. I guess they know their service is severely subpar so they keep their prices lower than other Thai places. As for me, I tried them and I won't do that again. This place is on my s**t list now.

This is our go-to Thai place. While they aren't vegan or even vegetarian, they are very accommodating for everyone regardless of their dietary choices and the food is excellent. If you're looking for a laid-back place, check La Ong out.We highly recommend the chive dumplings, panang curry with tofu and the basil eggplant, drunken noodles and pad Thai. If you're interested in veg options just be sure to ask for no fish / oyster sauce or egg.
