Thanida Thai Restaurant and Bar

I wished I had known about this place sooner! It’s so good. Definitely recommend their Thai Rice, and the Chicken Rama. Also, we asked for an old fashioned and the bartender did a great job. Everyone is nice and the place is clean.

Absolutely amazing. Food was outstanding. We had the beef curry, normaly my husband loves the chicken but the beef was so tender. He didn’t even take leftovers! We were so impressed the owner came out to ask how our meal was. Price point was great! Looked like there were alot of to go orders while we were here. Would highly recommend this as your go to Thai restaurant!!

We wanted to give them a try since they moved to this new great location. The way you’re greeted as you enter is quite nice, with a smile and promptly seated. The wait staff are friendly, and provide good suggestions. The manager, Ms. Apple, is wonderful and very attentive to the clients getting to know them and giving good advice on their menu options and specials.
We ordered Larb Gai to start, one of the best we’ve tried. For our meal we had the Sassy Shrimp, it was amazing and the shrimps are huge, the broccoli was steamed to perfection, my partner had the dinner size one time soup with chicken dumplings, and egg noodles, absolutely a must have, very tasty and well prepared. For dessert we had the best sticky rice with mango, it comes with a creamy coconut sauce that you pour over it, that was amazing! We enjoyed the ambiance, the food is perfectly cooked and their tea is good quality! great place and glad its in our neighborhood.

Vegetarian options: Although not a vegetarian, I saw a lot of dishes that are vegetarian, or can be turned into vegetarian if asked. Believe any Asian food is good if you’re a vegetarian.

Went there for my 30 minute break since I work across from there and the food was absolutely delicious. My co-worker recommended me the place! I devoured everything. The waiter was extremely kind and the food came out immediately (probably because it wasn’t busy. I was the only one ?) nonetheless, great atmosphere, spectacular food, and kind people!

Visited here with two good friends. The waitress was super nice and the food came out quickly and hot. We were seated for so long the manager sent out sticky rice and mango for dessert. Can’t wait to return!

My favorite Thai place in Northern VA. I used to go to their old spot near the waterfront in Old Town and always loved it. We recently went to their new location off of Rte 1 and were happy to find that it's the same high quality and fantastic food. Their new location is super elegant with a full bar. The staff is always so nice and the menu is excellent. Love everything from the pad se ew to the moo ping (pork skewers). Fantastic place.

Excellent Thai restaurant! My wife remembered them from when they were on Royal street and hadn't been back in years. It was just as good as she remembered and I agree. Will definitely dine with Thanida when in Alexandria!

So excited to see a delicious Thai restaurant open nearby! Great red curry and peanut chicken. The food is flavorful but the portions are too small. To be fair, this was maybe the second day the restaurant was open, so I'm willing to give them another try later once they've worked out these kinks. Hopefully the sizes will increase. More veggies, please!
