A while back, we visited Torpedo Art Factory one weekend and discovered a Thai restaurant steps away. The place was beautifully decorated with various Thai objects, including a large wooden animal figure hanging from the ceiling and wrapped in a Thai-patterned fabric, serving as the centerpiece. The food was freshly made and delicious, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of flavor. We were impressed by the excellent service and thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the restaurant.

Scenic, clean, and flavorful. Seated quickly and served. The food came out within 20 minutes and the mai Thai eggplant was packed full of flavor! Overall great service, just scratching my head as to why this place wasn’t full. We were there on a Saturday at 4:30pm and had just a couple of people.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants to go to, and I really like how you can see the view of the waterfront if you go upstairs. Drunken noodle here is definitely one of my favorites. I've been coming here for years, and love how nice the servers are.

This was a very nice place to visit. I've lived in Old Town Alexandria for 8 years, and this was my first time visiting. Our waiter was extremely attentive and very kind. The view from the second level was beautiful. We watched people enjoying the beautiful day by the Potomac River and sailboats going by while we ate. The lunchtime entrées were very reasonably priced with a healthy portion. I ordered the cashew chicken, which I do not think is actually Thai but rather some fusion dish. It was good but a bit too sweet for me. My wife ordered the Red Curry. It did not have a very strong coconut flavor, which I expect from a Thai curry and not spicy at all (though we could have asked for that). However, it was still good. I will be back because I want to try their Panang Curry. Hope you visit!

What have they done to this restaurant? Been visiting for 12 years and am shocked at how bad the food has gotten. Bland food, weak service. Really sad!!
Mai Thai in Virginia offers an extraordinary dining experience with impeccable customer service, a charming ambiance, and mouthwatering Thai cuisine. Flicker, the server, stood out with her warmth and extensive menu knowledge. The overall experience was unforgettable, making Mai Thai a must-visit culinary oasis.Thank you Flicker for making our visit unforgettable!

Visited this place on Christmas Eve. Tried the mixed Dumplings, a daiquiri and some Panang curry. The dumplings were quite well done. Had a good mix of meat and veg. Liked the shredded beetroot salad side as well. The daiquiri was a bit on the sweeter side, not totally sure how these are but a bit too sweet for me. The Panang curry was okay lacked flavor and the chicken was not well cooked for my liking. Would prefer it to be more well done. The ambience and the view from upstairs is beautiful and you get a good view of the waterfront and the city. The Christmas decor added a nice vibe to the place. Would recommend for the view and service. Food is okay might be better options for authentic Thai!

Nov 2023. We likeed this place a lot. Water view, big selection of vegan and vegetarian options which was great. I like curry and they had several of those and bunch of other options. Seating on upper level also so it is bigger than you think.
