This unassuming restaurant was great. Food was delicious. Brought out hot and fresh. We ordered lad na, soy beef soup, vegetable dumplings, and fried rice. All excellent; would highly recommend.

Bua Thai was fine, but since when are places making a vegetable curry that ends up being a majority of just cabbage? Cabbage is a useless vegetable (an insult to my ancestors, maybe) and it's used as a filler when you can't afford something else. In this case, Bua Thai for $15 CAN afford something else, but instead I just ended up with green curry that was mostly just cabbage. Come on, people-- at least get some more imagination?The som tum was fuego, though, and the pad see yew was also respectable. A "spicy" is indeed quite hot.

Worst place ever, $8 up charge for Makers Mark bourbon. The Old Fashion was made with pineapple!!!!!!Wife had to ask for her drink twice. Food was cold. Asked for fried wontons, waiter brought a mixed drink. To top it off they added ANOTHER request for gratuity after tacking on 18% gratuity to the original bill. The service was poor as well. Just don't do it! Go elsewhere!

Pad kee mao and crispy spring roll was good. I would have given 4 stars but they didn't provide utensils (when I specifically requested it) on a takeout. I needed utensils too.

Food was delicious (imperial pad Thai and some pineapple rice dish), the service was lovely and welcoming, and while the inside was cool and refreshing, we sat outside and watched people go by. It was delightful.

How is no one talking about this spot!?! The food is GOOD. Period. They hit them spices just right!! And then I like to leave with a cool creamy and refreshing Thai Ice Tea. Perfection. No lie, I eat lunch here once a week!

This is a neighborhood restthat also serves phenomenal Thai cuisine. No polish, no flash but a staff that treats you like a neighbor and a chef that put the Ka-Pow in the chicken Ka- Pow. I had an air bnb close by and ate here 3 times in 2 weeks. Each time something different and all fantastic. Make sure you get there before 7 for some happy hour deals.

I ordered the pad see ew here and it was watery and sour. It tasted vinegary and I think it was going bad. Probably the worst pad see ew I've ever had. The inside of the restaurant isn't nice either. I guess not all food in the city is better than outside of it.

Service is very good. They were very attentive to our family especially to our mom who needs accommodations. We LOVE the noodles and tom yum soup. We'll def go back!

We went to DC on a win while we were driving back home from VA. Randomly chose this restaurant based on reviews and it's hands down in my top five places for Thai food.
