Why was I the only family eating in? This was an amazing gem with delicious Thai food. Crispy Duck was outstanding. Pork belly very nice. Not overly authentic, but I appreciated it was a good mix of western and Asian for my liking. Still true Thai food though, if not inspired by Thai tasted.

It was expensive, but we shared 1x satay and 5x meals between 4x of us ~$160 for 4, but didn't need to spend that much.

Venue and service was outstanding...

I have been looking for the best Khao Soi in DC, after first tasting it in Chiang Mai in April. So far, this is the best, most flavorful, most delicious, Khao Soi. And the Marinated fried pork belly was perfect! I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu in future visits.

Really good and enjoyable Thai food with classy interiors. The ginger tofu curry was very potent and flavorful. For the crispy noodle app, was expecting a fried egg as mentioned in the menu, but it was not an overt fried egg but incorporated strangely fried- could not tell it was an egg. Overall loved the food and place and highly recommend.
