Generously giving two stars, but honestly the worst Thai food I've had. Larb gai was incredibly dry and lacked the pungent flavors you'd expect. Tom yum similarly was bland. And lastly the Khao Soi had dry chicken and missed the mark on the deep curry flavor. Surprised about the decent reviews given the other solid thai food around D.C. Staff was friendly and atmosphere is lively, but do better on the food.

One of the fanciest Thai restaurants in town, but with affordable prices. Their Pad Thai is the real one, using actual fish sauce, palm sugar, and tamarind sauce. Many other Thai restaurants use vinegar, salt, and white sugar which are not the original ingredients. Good to have this restaurant in the neighborhood.

Rice is one of my favorite restaurants in DC, the menu options are broad and always very delicious.

I like to order the chicken curry or the drunken noodles. No matter what you get it will always be a great treat!

My favorite little Thai spot. This is a part of my weekly routine because they have this perfect little market downstairs with food ready-to-go. Some of my usual staples are the ginger chicken and chicken pad thai. The fried rice is excellent as well. My only complaint is its a bit pricey for the portion. The people are always very friendly as well.

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had in DC! Portions are large and the food is very flavorful and fresh. Pad thai had a delicious sauce on it and a great meat to noodle ratio

Mrs.G Taught Me

We went in on a Thursday evening for a quick dinner. Things were generally pleasant. The restaurant was not particularly full, but did get busier shortly after our arrival. Our waitress was polite without being overly friendly. I was looking for something that was no longer on the menu, but she made some suggestions. Overall, two out of three of our party were very pleased with their food. Myself included. We both had variations of the noodle soup. The pineapple chicken was reported as just being alright—disproportionate with three broccoli florets to accompany the portion of meat.
After getting to go boxes, the table clearing felt rude and intrusive. As to hurry us along. Giving the benefit of the doubt that this was not intentional.

Please be aware that kitchen really closes at least one hour before their posted closing time, I was there 55 mins before and was not seated. That should be made very clear everywhere to avoid wasting people time.

A great place to grab a really good meal, prices are reasonable for DC. Staff are attentive but don’t hover. Cocktails are scrumptious. Be sure to visit the market afterwards!
