Tried Donsak Thai Restaurant in Woodley Park and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Drunken Noodles with chicken at “regular spicy,” and they were very good, flavorful, served quickly, and definitely spicy. I didn’t get any appetizers or drinks this time, but the main dish alone made it a great experience. Our server was very nice and very attentive to our needs. We were a party of five and she had no issues splitting the bill for each of us. I’ll definitely be going back!

I ordered take out from here twice: the first time I thought it was very good, the second time I was not impressed at all.

The drunken noodles were good, but the portion was very small - much smaller than takeout competitors in the area and definitely not shareable. The good - the green curry and pad Thai were both very flavorful...
