Pasara Thai Restaurant

Nice looking restaurant and good presentation. The custom dining plates are a nice touch. The food was basic. They didn’t make it Thai hot or even mildly spicy when requested. It wasn’t authentic tasting at all. The waiter disappeared so I had to go looking at the bar for the jars of spices and peppers to add to my food.
They brought out drinks with the straws already in the cups and unwrapped. It just seems too unsanitary-they should provide wrapped straws of the customers want it.

This place is Alexandria's hidden gem. It's a delightful experience from start to finish.

Atmosphere: This place has VIBES. From traditional Thai artwork adorning the walls, to the slow jazz filling the air, to the tables themselves catching your eye with sculpted wooden imagery, this is a surprisingly good place for a quaint date that can impress without busting the bank.

Food: The food was on par with the atmosphere. The pad thai was delicious. Let me take a moment to talk about the miso soup; something rather simple, but it shows that this place even does the small things right. Many places give you miso soup with just broth and dumplings, but this place filled my cup with green onions, sliced meat, carrot bits, etc. THAT'S how you do soup! Even the thai ice tea was so sweet, it could double as a dessert (which to me isn't a problem, because you can always just add water).

Service: When I was overseas, I experienced world-class food service. This restaurant was on par with those memories. The staff was attentive, the food arrived swiftly, and each person put dilligent effort into creating a pleasant dining experience. There are few places in the US with staff that's this disciplined. It's a breath of fresh air.

All in all, I was so impressed with this small, unassuming restaurant, but was so blown away by all aspects of it, that I felt obligated to write this review.

P.S. The pic with food is after I had already started on my soup, so it obviously was more full.

Delicious Thai food, limited portion size, restaurant is beautifully decorated in Thai style, dishes taste exemplary, Quick service, recommended.

We went there for a quick bite before a movie show. The service was quick. Food was delicious! We tried their Red Curry. It comes with rice. The quantity was generous, easily shareable for 2 persons. And the curry was really flavorful! Definitely recommended if you want to try some good quality Thai food.

Everything is good, food had flavor.

My go to Thai restaurant. All of their food is really delicious, especially their Chicken Rama and Drunken Noodles. Also the ambiance of the place is really beautiful, simple and calming. Service is great too!

This Thai spot was... alright. The food was decent enough, nothing particularly stood out, but it wasn't bad either. Pricing seemed fair for what you got, and the portion sizes were definitely respectable – you won't leave hungry. Service was friendly and efficient. My main critique would be the drinks menu, which felt a little uninspired and could definitely use some more creative options. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I've certainly had better Thai food elsewhere.

Good food and very good atmosphere. We just got the Basic pad Thai so can’t speak to their other specialties. Would probably come more often but their drinks are 30-40% more expensive than other places. $9 for bottled beer, $13 for a draft, and $6 for a soft drink. Service is prompt and friendly.

The food and service was great. :)

Food was amazing!
