Very casual and fun joint offering a wide array of Thai foods. Both the booth and bar setup give a very casual - hangout feel; as well as the music they play over the speakers.

The food is very good if you are looking to try Thai cuisine. The portions of the food are also quite generous. They also have a bunch of classic western dishes as well for appetizers too, like chicken wings and mussels etc. So if you're not too into thai food, there are dining options...

I am blown away. My family and I stopped in for the first time, and we were pleasantly pleased. The service was amazing, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. The chicken wings were amazing and cooked perfectly. The crispy chicken special with rice and sauce was flavorful and delicious. Also, the amazing server gave our daughter a strawberry housemade lemonade, and it was amazing. We will be back! Support this authentic Thai restaurant, and you won't...

This place is a hidden gem in DC. My first time having it I ordered the basil fried rice for takeout and it was absolutely amazing. I went in yesterday to enjoy some time alone and it was even better in person. The drink selection is great and they taste as good (and as strong) as they look. The service was also amazing and it’s a nice quiet place to enjoy a book with tasty food and drinks on the weekends. The playlist is also a hit.

They have happy hour 3-9...
