“After reading good reviews, we recently dined at this restaurant and were impressed. The food was perfectly cooked and delicious, with flavors. Moreover, the menu had a wide variety of food options. The drinks were also excellent, and the service was good. The interior was eclectic, with large graphics on the wall, artificial plants, small decorative pieces, and combinations of colors. Overall, we had a satisfying dining experience and would recommend this restaurant to others.Parking: There is a free parking space in front of the building, and it gets packed fast.“
“I’ve been coming here consistently for the past couple of months. Their menu has a great selection of standard Thai dishes and other dishes that you won’t be able to find anywhere else in NOVA. I’ve tried their curries and noodles and they were great but I love picking from their Street Food Menu. Every time I come here, I try one “normal dish” and two “new” dishes. All of them have been good and very authentic (at least to what I remember from my travels to Thailand).Their seafood is always perfectly cooked. I recommend their calamari appetizer and Hoi Tod (Mussel Pancake). Both are crispy without the seafood being overcooked. The food also comes out quickly and tastes freshly cooked.I don’t know why this place doesn’t have more reviews!! I would recommend Thai Mom for anyone who loves Thai food or is an adventurous eater :)“
“We went here during happy hour on a Tuesday or Wednesday. It wasn't busy at all. Our server was attentive and ensured our order was correct and we had everything we needed! The food was good! Definitely recommend for a sushi happy hour. We got miso soup, house salad, spring rolls and a few sushi rolls. The spring rolls were so hot, fresh and crisp. The rolls were yummy and filling. We will come here again for a good happy hour!“
“Our server Lexy really made our team dinner experience special. She was so intuitive about people's tastes and made perfect suggestions. We ended up ordering all of her suggestions and were not disappointed! She gave suggestions based on her on experience. She was even so nice when it came to customization and sides. Highly recommend the Anolini and truffle garlic bread. The hot chili oil is the best I've ever had! The deserts were really good. Very decadent. The ambiance is very upscale. Good for groups, dates or work dinners. The kitchen is behind a pane of glass and you can see them in action while you eat. Wonderful experience overall.“
“Ordered off the lunch specials menu. Good selection, fast service. I like that they have tofu as on of their protein options. Tasty green curry and veggie spring rolls. Companion enjoyed chicken pad thai.Vegetarian options: Tofu is listed as one of the proteins-you don't have to ask for special prep of a dish without meat.Parking: Very limited parking midweek at 1pm.“
“Make no mistake - this is the Padaek location to go to if you have a choice, not the Arlington one. The Arlington one is significantly closer to my place but I always end up making the trek out to Falls Church because the OG location is simply better. Recommendations: the Naem Khao rice salad is crispy, crunchy, savory and delicious - I recommend getting it with the tofu, even if you're a meat eater like I am. I order the Ping with pork shoulder literally every time, because it's a fantastically heaped plate of seared meat with a nice mildly spicy dipping sauce. It also comes with a bag of tasty sticky rice that makes a low-carb eater like me abandon my low-carbness, at least for one meal. Padaek Falls Church will always be on my list of places to take out of towners.“
“Love this place! I come in all the time and get the fried rice, but the curry and pad thai are also excellent.Vegetarian options: Not every dish on the menu can be served without meat, but many can! Tofu is an option for lots of the dishes that would normally have meat, and many of the curries don't have meat either.“
“I enjoyed the ambiance, most of the food and choice of music. I did not particularly care for the crab rangoon. I tasted all cream cheese and green onion and could not taste any crab meat at all. The mocktail mango tango was just ok; It was a really sweet juice. I wanted to get a full experience to be able to take pictures of the way my food was brought out on the pink holding trays because this was my first time; but I was not given that option because my food was brought out in someone's hands. As I looked around, everyone else had the pink carrying tray left on their table, so I was a little upset about that. All in all, I would come back because the appetizer chili wings were good, and so was my shrimp and chicken pineapple curry fried rice.Parking: The parking is a little scarce because it is next to some high volume restaurants and businesses for example Chipotle, rent-a-, center and quickway.Kid-friendliness: The music isn't loud or vulgar, the place is nicely decorated and kids can sit and enjoy a nice Thai meal.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all on one level and the chairs can be taken away to accommodate a person within a wheelchair.“
“Wonderful little place. The decor is cheerful and attractive, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is excellent.I asked for them to remake an order because I ordered while they were closed and but they made it anyway and we're waiting for me and I just didn't pick it up when I saw the closed sign. It was completely my mistake, not theirs. Not only did they offer to make it right multiple times, even though there was nothing to make right since it was my fault, but they insisted on giving me a free Thai tea anyway.They recognize me every time I come in. I always feel so welcome here. My coworker and I frequently get lunch here. Tofu is prepared really well and they actually have some of the only Thai tea in the area that has the right balance of milkiness.“
“My experience at Happy Thai was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. The combination of delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service made for a truly memorable evening. I highly recommend Happy Thai to anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine and an unforgettable dining experience.“
“Jackpot! I've been at this plaza every other week for a year and never noticed this spot. Thank goodness we decided we found this place as we searched for a new Thai spot to try. The food was just outstanding! The perfect amount of zest in the Tom Yum soup, authentic flavors and chewiness of the Phad Thai, and the super crispy, but moist, fried chicken served with the gai grob massaman. The servers were incredible attentive and carried a positive attitude. Like I said, we never noticed the spot from the outside... but as soon as we entered - the place was packed and buzzing with positive energy. Definitely making this a frequent spot for us. Great food, good price, great service!“
“Our server was amazingly attentive and friendly. The food was delicious - we ordered a variety of items and everyone was very pleased with their order.Vegetarian options: There is a good amount of vegetarian options, definitely recommend for a vegetarian.“
“This restaurant is the BEST Thai restaurant in all of Fairfax. And I have had tried almost every Thai restaurant in the area. Their pad Thai is perfection, and their sushi is so beautiful it almost pains me to eat it because it's so beautiful but it's DELICIOUS. They also have great customer service and had our order ready quick and efficiently.“
“Court side Thai is a great cozy place in downtown Fairfax. Very cute entrance. The Thai food was fantastic, I got typical pad Thai, but with scallops which were amazing. My wife got the pineapple fried rice which she also enjoyed. The court side Thai dumplings for an appetizer were perfect.“
“After hearing great reviews, we were eager to try out this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful ambiance. The Thai design elements, including large fixtures on the ceiling, added a unique touch to the décor. While the food looked and tasted good overall, it was a bit too sweet for our personal preference. Nevertheless, the service was fantastic and contributed to a great overall experience.“
“Stumbled upon this absolute gem while exploring Eden Center. All four dishes we got: tofu pad Thai, beef drunken noodles,beef boat soup and pork belly with green beans, were amazing! This is the definition of a hole in the wall and we are so grateful we found it! We are already planning our next trip!“
“I made the mistake of not making a reservation here for dinner on a Saturday night. Even so, the hostesses were kind enough to fit us in at the bar. There was still full service and we got to watch the bartenders make beautiful cocktails. We wanted to try everything on the menu. Started with the pie tee, I ordered the Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang while my fiancé ordered the Curry Laksa noodles, and we finished with some pandan crème brûlée and coconut ice cream. Overall very filling, amazing quality of food and service, and definitely lived up to their name of making a good (Southeast) Impression.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Second time here with my husband and I absolutely love this place. Their food is amazing. Love their asian rolls and curry Puff appetizers. Definitely recommend. Love the spiciness of their dishes and the levels of spiciness they offer. Their Thai tea is so full of flavor and so delicious. If you have not visited this place, you should. It won't disappoint. Great service. Friendly staff. The mango sticky rice dessert is out of this world. So delicious!!!“
“I like this place. The food is good, with vegan and gluten-free options!(I have had *better* Thai food. All of Finn Thai's curry has fish sauce in it and can not be made vegan=no 5 star rating.)(Now that I think of it.... when I say I have had better Thai food, maybe it's because I'm comparing it to curry dishes I have had elsewhere, when here I was unable to have curry. Maybe I just like curry better? Lol. I'm just trying to be completely honest!)The food always comes out super fast!! Like, always surprisingly fast!! On Valentine's Day, for example, we went before the dinner rush (there was only one other table seated in the restaurant when we arrived), and without buying alcohol we were in and out in under 45 minutes! (I mention not having alcohol because if we were also taking time to enjoy drinks, it probably would have taken longer)Takeaway: In my experience, great for a quick *real* meal. Early dinner times always seem like a great time to go/not busy.Will be back. This is the closest restaurant to where I currently live with vegan/gluten-free options.Vegetarian options: Definitely ask!! A lot of dishes don't necessarily have tofu listed as a protein option, but in my experience, they are happy to use tofu instead of meat.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free and vegan options! All of the curry has fish sauce in it, which sucks as that is my favorite Thai dish. I don't remember everything being labeled well on the menu, but definitely ask! The servers are always knowledgeable, in my experience, and can help guide you to something appropriate for you!I have not been "glutened" here!Parking: The parking lot directly in front of the restaurant is small, but every time I visited, there were plenty of spots. The restaurant is in the back of a large shopping/business area, so there is plenty of free parking around, but if it is busy, you may have to park a bit farther.Wheelchair accessibility: There are steps up to the restaurant. Like... more than just a few steps.“
“i tried this spot because it happens to be across the street from my job and i was craving boba and thai food! and i was not disappointed!! i got the lunch special for 12$ decent portion and very flavorful. i ordered the drunken noodles that came with an appetizer of your choice and i picked gzoa dumplings. and then a thai tea with boba which tasted very good!! definitely try this spot:)“
“Duangrats is first in class in every category. We are loyal costumers as they are consistently outstanding in food and customer service.Vegetarian options: Those without meat protein.Dietary restrictions: They have plenty of vegetarian options.Parking: Lots of parking on site.Kid-friendliness: Have taken our children and grandchildren fir a birthday party. When I brought a cake they took it from me and served it to 17 of us. Very impressed with their service and genuine kindness.Wheelchair accessibility: Always park right in front and have easy access.“
“one of my new favourite thai places in NOVA! everything here is consistently delicious n full of flavour. they also offer unique items such as frog legs n liver salad which i don't see at other thai restaurants. serving size is generous n the service is always fast. nice n cozy place amongst other stores along a strip mall.“
“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!Vegetarian options: They have a sign saying that just because something has vegetables in it does not mean it is vegetarian or vegan; however, unless you are seeking ritual purity, I believe you could find a decent, reasonably vegetarian dish here.“
“I always enjoy going to Elephant Jumps Thai restaurant for their food. I usto work across the street back in the days and found out about this restaurant. I have tried a different meal every time I have ordered from here and have never been disappointed. I have moved to Woodbridge and I still make the drive when I want to get some Thai food.“
“I recently discovered a hidden gem of a Thai restaurant in Arlington, Virginia, and it exceeded my expectations. Intrigued by the chef’s recommendation, I tried the Kuay Teaw Koow Gai, a delightful noodle dish. The flavors were exceptional, and if you’re seeking authentic Thai cuisine, I highly recommend this place for a delicious culinary experience.“
“Outstanding Thai, especially if you need spicy. We were celebrating multiple life events. The staff was welcoming and anticipated our needs. My only concern was the condition of the restaurant, the ceiling tiles were stained and sagging. Mom reported a sanitary & spotless ladies room.We ordered appetizers. The curry chicken appetizers were wrapped in a delightful flaky crust that melts in your mouth. My son ordered medium heat drunken noodles. The dish was hot, even for chili-phile and spice-iphile in our party! The seafood dish -found on the Pad Thai page -was loaded with shrimp, mussels, squid and scallops for $20! The courses arrived hot, together and quickly.The coconut chocolate chip ice cream was divine. Topped off the meal with Thai coffee and tea. All of this fairly price. All four of took home a doggie bag for a second meal.Parking: Free parking lot in the back of the building periodKid-friendliness: Family friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: the back of the building is not wheelchair accessible. The front is accessible.“
“This is the 1st time back since the pandemic. The atmosphere is quiet. The dining room is super clean. I was promptly seated and my order taken. The staff was very attentive without hovering too much. I had the shrimp pad Thai, kanoom jeeb, and the spring rolls.The apps came out quickly and piping hot. The pad thai followed a few minutes later. I have always enjoyed coming here. Would return all the time if I could. My only issue is the spring rolls could have been drained more (better). Will come back again and more often to try new things.Parking: The lot can fill up quickly as there are other businesses.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: There are 2 handicap spaces in front of the restaurant.“
“My family and I come here at least twice a month and would be here weekly if we lived closer. They have the best sushi in NOVA. We’ve tried several places and this is the only place that comes close to sushi we’ve had on the west coast. Their fish is always fresh and they season their rice to perfection. They have lots of tasty looking dishes on their menu but the sushi is so good we have yet to try anything else.“
“Loved it! Had the Pad Ped with ground chicken after getting a recommendation from the lady working there. Normally, I always get the Pad Krapow. My meal was really good- hot, fresh, and well prepared. I was very pleased with the service I received. I will definitely return here. I just wish they opened a little bit earlier on Sundays. They don't open until 4:30 p.m.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.“
“I’ve been going here for a decade. I always call and order and it’s always ready before I get there. The food is excellent and consistent. I love their Kraprow chicken, green curry and everything else! For every micro center visit this should always be a stop!“
“The Thai dishes are very flavorful and the spicy dishes come with a nice punch!The Pad Thai has an extra flavor of citrus (lemon) which allows you to have more and more without feeling heavy.You can taste the "wok heat" from the Pad See Ew dish. The spice will wake you up but you don't suffer.The folks there are super nice and friendly. This is a revisit spot for sure.“
“If you love a simple Hainanese chicken rice with a warm bowl of soup do try this place ! We got 2 combos the combo A with poached chicken and fried chicken with rice & combo C which was grilled chicken and fried chicken with rice and a big bowl of chicken clear soup , both were good but I enjoyed the combo C better . They serve it with 2 sauces both delicious, if you like extra spicy then surely ask for chilli oil ? its spicyy be careful! Overall a great experience the food ambiance !Parking: Its in a huge plaza , right next to lotte market“
“I’ve been eating at this Thai restaurant since I was a little girl and it still does not disappoint. I am usually not a fan of duck, but they have figured it out and it was magical! So happy to see them still doing well.The Tom Yum soup is also perfection.The atmosphere has always been a bit strange inside, tables are close together and it’s hard to have a private conversation. I saw LOTS of to go orders though.“
“Best Thai restaurant in America.Especially, fried rice was no difference that I tried in Thailand. One of the best thai restaurant i’ve visited.This is the most delicious Thai food I've had in the United States. It suited the Korean taste very well, and I especially liked the somtam. I highly recommend it to everyone who visits here. It was much more delicious than the food I ate in Thailand!“
“Their sushi is very good, I have already eaten there several times and have also ordered takeout. The quality of the ingredients are good and fresh. Compared to other places, its price seems more than good to me for its quality.Once I ordered rice that came with shrimp and it was also very good.It's a nice atmosphere and the service is good.Only once did a girl who served us seem to forget our table and we had to be careful to call her to come to us, but otherwise they have good service.“
“Great food! Got the Crispy Basil Duck and it was so good. The flavor got better and better as the meal went on. I have tried crispy duck at other places and they're ok but this is why crispy duck is a thing. Great staff and owner gave great suggestions. I hear the Panang curry is awesome also so I will have to try that next time.“
“Best Thai restaurant in Falls Church by far. The food is always warm and prepared deliciously. When dining in, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the hosts are very attentive and kind. Never had any issues with ordering online either. I recommend this place to anyone who wants amazing Thai food in NoVA.“
“I absolutely love this new Thai place at Harrison Street! I got takeout recently and ordered a handful of items new to me--I particularly enjoyed the "Ped Grob Pad Gra Pow" (or crispy honey duck with basil). I also got some of the classics including Pad Thai which were great. When I arrived for pickup, I was the only one there but a few others arrived also to pickup. It appeared to be a husband-wife-duo running the establishment and they both came out to say hi and were extremely friendly and helpful. I only had to wait a few minutes for a very large order. I will most definitely be going back!“
“This is the pricier Thai place in the area. I would just get takeout next time due to strong smell from neighboring nail salon. Staff was friendly but one of Thier phones behind the counter from where we were sitting was ringing for 30 minutes which was distracting to my table.“
“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“
“Dropped in after a massage next door. I was looking for a light meal. I ordered the ThomKa soup, with shrimp and the Kanom Jeab steamed dumplings. Both were delicious. The soup had a nice touch if spice. The dumplings came with a light dipping sauce. I'll be back“
“I think this is my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. I stumbled upon this place last year and have ordered a few times. My go to is the pad see ew with chicken and the thai dumplings. Everytime, the noodles are cooked perfectly. Everything is seasoned well. The restaurant is clean, nothing fancy, more than suitable for dining in. I'm only giving 4 stars because they mixed regular broccoli with chinese broccoli in my pad see ew“
“This is the best Thai restaurant in the United States. I haven't found anything on the menu I don't like. My favorites are the pad kra pow with beef, Tom yum with soft tofu, shrimp cakes, and any of the curries. But nothing compares to the corn cakes. The staff is very friendly and the service is fast. They also are great for carry out.“
“This is one of my go to places for pad thai. I forgot to take a picture because my boyfriend and I ate it so fast! The sushi is okay, more like a 3.5/5 but I do enjoy the sashimi and the rolls that they give. They recently painted the inside again to be a bright yellow ceiling with pictures along the wall which is really nice to look at while eating. The service is always so good and it's a small business that I love supporting!“
“Fantastic hole in the wall right in our back yard. Stumbled on this place last week and then went back 3 days later. The food is incredible, portions generous, prices reasonable and staff is kind. Other places, the Pad Thai is dry but Thai Thai uses a lot of very flavorful sauce on theirs! Clearly run by a family with their own recipes.“
“Wow! I was impressed with this Chinese food establishment in McLean. Looking for Chinese style food Yelp again proved its value and the great ratings are well warranted though a bit dated. I generally find Chinese food to be a "craving" rather than a well planned meal but this food was so surprisingly good! Not too much sauce, great looking though sparse fresh vegetables , and noodles not soggy with oil, chicken thst was cooked to perfection. I was really really surprised and pleased. Oh, prices were incredibly reasonable. It's a tiny place with maybe 2 tables so definitely a take out place. Lack of vegetables and small dining area was the minus one star but for Chinese places this is a definite go-to! I'll be back!!“
“This place is amazing indeed. My son had a Tapsilog (Tapa, Sinangag(garlic fried rice) and Itlog (egg), a well known Filipino breakfast, also Lumpia. I had Kare Kare (Peanut sauce stewed oxtail. OMG, it’s the most delicious Kare Kare I have ever tried. The oxtail just melted in my mouth, gourmet Kare Kare indeed. Presentation was awesome and customer service was excellent. It’s a hidden gem indeed. We will definitely be back for many more to try all their dishes. Though they have international cuisines , so happy that they embraced and also highlight their Filipino dishes. You will not disappoint with this restaurant. We finished our meal with Turon (Fried Banana) topped with Ice cream. Thank you for the heavenly meal. We loved it so much! We left with big smiles on our faces.“
“We were here very recently and enjoyed every aspect of our meal. Very homely, fresh vibes with clean tables and decorative plants spread throughout. Waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Food came out fast (appetizer first), then meals. Not a ton of rice, but meal portions were large! We had the crispy green beans, chicken green curry, and fried pork. Everything was delicious, vegetables tasted so fresh and each dish, so flavorful. Curry was incredible, but will likely order spice level 2 next time as 3 was just slightly too hot (but not unbearable).Thai iced tea offered a sweet balance to the savory and spicy flavor from the food.Looking forward to coming back and trying some more of the authentic thai dishes!“
