This is sad. The food was actually pretty good, but there is no service. The guy at the counter was shocked that I was dining in. He told me to order on the app or come to the counter.
I waited nearly 30 min for my food, then to be called back to the counter to pick it up, on a tray, and in a styrofoam container, with plastic forks.
He then proceeded to point to where a thermos of water was. Never once checked on me. I cleared my own table.
Weirdest restaurant experience ever.
Don’t eat in!!!
FYI. Pad Thai was good. Mango sticky rice was more like Mango Sticky Hard rice… I think it was old.
I won’t be going back.

I used to go to this restaurant 2-4X per week. This was one of the gems of the area surrounding Fort Belvoir. They used to have a lunch special where you got a salad with awesome peanut sauce, curry, and drink for under 10$. And their curries were amazing. Green/Yellow/Red/Panang were great... Meat perfectly cooked, amazing sauce.
Then the pandemic happened
The original owners (older husband and wife) left/retired around 2020, and while some things are the same (decor has been unchanged since about 2006), but the food quality has been downhill and hasnt found a bottom yet.
I was super excited to find out that you can eat in the restaurant again after 5+ years, so I went to see the place. Well, the lunch specials are gone, but you can now pay ~15-18$ for a slightly larger portion of the curry from before the pandemic, but oh man the quality is not there. The curries had some of the flavor of before, but they were really soupy (too watered down?) while the meat was overcooked and not good.
To make matters worse, you CAN eat inside the resturant, but it is more like a higher end fast food restaurant. I know porcelin dishes are not critical for food, but serving everything in cans and to-go plasticware makes the ambiance a little lacking.
Things change, and food service is tough post pandemic. Just stinks that I know how good it USED to be.

Throughly enjoyed the meal. It was enough for two people. The staff was polite, friendly and took care of me with my allergies. Restaurant was cozy but too dark for my liking.

Tried the Pad See Ew, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Red Curry—all were exceptional. Everyone at the table loved their dishes. I’ll definitely be coming back!

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.

The pad siew I had was as good as any I've had. Although it was only carry out, and I didn't get to experience inside, the food made by David (friendly guy) was really good. Please support!

Curry and drunken noodles were pretty good. Puffed curry was tasty. Sticky rice was brick of dense rice so overcooked it had disintegrated into chewy gelatin. There were no discernable grains of rice left. Wouldn't recommend this dessert.
Portions were good value. No dine-in options, takeouts or delivery only.

The food here is EXCELLENT. I don't remember ever having better Thai food in my life than at Thai Nakorn. The curry puffs are fire. I'll definitely be back. They don't do dine in right now. You can order ahead and pick up, order delivery, or order through a third-party app. I highly recommend Thai Nakorn.

The food is great!!! Highly recommend this place. The prices are good and the amount of meat they put in the dishes is really good especially compared to other restaurants. We ate the Cilantro Chicken, Papaya Salad, Curry Puffs, and Pad Phet Beef, All dishes taste great and will be back for sure! Our first time there and we met 1 of the owners (family own Brother and Sister) And he was super nice and since our first time there he hook me up with Free Thai iced tea which taste super delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMEND A++++
