22 Best Thai Restaurants in Alexandria

“My family and I have come here now a hand full of times, and I can honestly say we love this place. Staff is always nice and so patient and kind with our 2yo son! Every time the food and presentation have been amazing! Definitely recommend this hidden gem of a place!“

“Chicken Fried Rice from this restaurant is causing me to reevaluate Chicken Fried Rice from every other restaurant I frequent for Chicken Fried Rice. As far as my palate is concerned, they have raised the bar. And the Bangkok Beef Stew is spectacular.“

“Excellent service and food was great with large portions!“

“We have friends who have spent a significant amount of time in Thailand say this is authentic Thai food you would find in Thailand.

We have never had a bad meal here and the food is always brought to the table or ready for pickup quickly.

The staff is always friendly.“

“Great spot to stop for dinner. I love Thai food and the drunken noodle was delicious plus the cocktails were creative and well made. The server was very helpful and got us their separate vegan menu, and everything was really reasonably priced.“

“Excellent meal. You’ll pay DC prices. $18-25. The food was so tasty. I got the chicken red curry and my buddy got the pad se ew. The chicken in the pad se ew has a bit of a smoky flavor to it. The red curry was nice and spicy. A perfect level for someone who likes spice. Everything was just so flavorful. It will be hard/fun to choose next time between reordering these meals or trying more off the menu.“

“I love the seafood fried rice with a little spice!! Delicious“

“The laarb salad was outstanding and the seafood salad tasted incredibly fresh with so much flavor in every bite. I really enjoyed the sticky rice; it was the perfect way to finish the meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the place itself has such a nice vibe. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Food is great and authentic! You can tell it is made fresh. Probably the best panang curry I’ve had in a while. It’s definitely a “hole in the wall”- but those are the best places! Service was also great. I’d definitely visit here again!“

“Used to really like this place but we were denied seating on the patio unless we had a dog. We have two young children and it is much easier to manage them outside and there was no one else out there. Thanks for the quick respons Sisters at Old Town North Alexandria you guys have been one of our favorite places and I hope we can visit again in the future.“

“The food in the restaurant is delicious and comes out at a very reasonable time for the amount that they put in front of you. The service is also spectacular. In my maybe 5 years of going here the only time they've ever gotten something wrong was confusing water for sprite, and I mean its a clear drink so whatever. The inside is also clean and well kept, even the restrooms. Again, 5 years I've been coming here. In those 5 years I've loved the food here so much that leaving a review never came to my mind because it was just so comforting, like I wasn't even eating at a restaurant. Highly recommend eating here.“

“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.“

“Mostly a call and pickup to go store. A couple of tables for you to sit down and wait or eat right there. Tableware is all plastic; like I said, mostly call and pickup.
But the food is really good! Pricing is reasonable, and when you ask for Thai hot, look out! It'll be Thai hot; and so delicious too.“

“Thai peppers is our go to Thai spot. Their flavor, attention to detail on orders, and levels of spices are fantastic. They have a good variety of food and quality wait times. I am always so happy with and satisfied when we order from them! I haven’t had a chance to eat in the restaurant, but there is a good amount of seating!“

“Delicious food, friendly staff, clean and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Every time I come here, the food, the service and the drinks are great. Def recommend to visit.“

“It was our first time visiting this Asian restaurant, and we absolutely loved it! We’ve been craving some good Asian food lately, and this place definitely satisfied our cravings. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly and attentive the entire time. The food was amazing everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they put effort and care into every dish. Overall, it was such an enjoyable dining experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back again soon! Totally wonderful!“

“I chose Akeno Sushi to celebrate my bachelorette weekend, and I couldn’t have made a better choice! It’s my absolute favorite restaurant in DC, and this experience just confirmed why it’s one of my top spots. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly warm, accommodating, and genuinely thrilled to help us celebrate. Nadia, in particular, was a joy to work with and supported me every step of the way in planning. The food was phenomenal, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The drinks were equally impressive, featuring thoughtful details like fresh flowers that added a special touch to the celebration. The ambiance was perfect, with lovely decorations that made the night feel even more festive. Whether you’re planning a special event, a casual dinner, or a date night, Akeno Sushi is versatile, delicious, and always delivers a memorable experience. I highly recommend it!“

“I love coming, the staff is very kind and friendly. I have been to other restaurants that serve seafood and in my opinion this is the place to go. I always come for the turbulence and supreme tuna are my favorite. The Philly and bagel roll are both great options as well!“

“This was one of the greatest food experience on king street, from the moment we went through the door we were greeted by a very nice gentleman. This gentleman promptly provided us water and menus. He was very friendly and very kind as this was her first time visiting we ordered dumplings I forget which ones but they were very good and they had tofu in them, which is a very big shock factor to me nonetheless, it was delicious after that we ordered general tso chicken and general tso tofu, let me tell you that was some of the best food I have had. This is definitely the prime Asian restaurant on King Street. I will be sure to go back again. Lastly, the service was so good. I saw the server run a whole block to give a family the fried rice they left at the table. I have never seen that..“
