Mae Ornnit Thai Kitchen

I LOVE Thai food and this is some of the best I’ve ever had. My take out order experiences have always been 10/10 and dine-in service is excellent. The people who work here are bright, kind, and attentive—the restaurant is clean and colorful. My favorites are the tom kha soup (best I’ve ever had!), the pineapple fried rice, and the drunken noodles. I’m always trying to get back here as soon as I can whenever I leave!!

This isn't authentic. The tom yum soup is extremely sweet as the previous Thai person noted 4 weeks ago like candy and the restaurant never changed despite this feedback. When we asked to have them make again, they said they can't change it because the soup base comes pre-prepared sweet. Meaning the restaurant doesn't make their own soup base in store but buys elsewhere (i.e. buy cheap base elsewhere to avoid doing the work themselves and sell it to unknowing customers). Trader Joe's is better.

Salad too was too sweet. We go for Thai food to eat Thai food that is authentic. If you change this to meet an American palette, because you can fool people who have never been to Thailand or eaten authentic Thai, fine but don't false advertise as authentic.

Avoid. We won't order here again. For those wanting an authentic Thai restaurant, go elsewhere.

The decoration of food and space are cute. Though the restaurant may be focus on American taste. Not authentic! We tried Kapow bomb, Hat Yai Fried chicken and Boat Noodle. Among them, Hat Yai Fried Chicken is good though papaya salad is not spicy and too sweet! Boat noodle is totally not the taste that I tried in Thailand. Overall, it will be great for American who’s willing to enjoy Asian food that adapted to American taste!

Excellent, flavorful, and generous portions. We ordered the dumplings, the larb spring roll (seasonal), volcano, along with the ka pow bomb. Everything was delicious, caution that their “medium” spicy may be spicier than the average US “medium”.

I’m Thai. Expect to eat Thai food. Ordered spicy level Thai food. When I say this tom yum tasted like candy, I’m not joking. It is extremely sweet. Like they accidentally put tons of sugar and messed up and just serve it anyway. With the basil fried rice - very bland. No flavor or any fresh Thai ingredients. Krapow is okay but still there are sweet flavors all around. This might be good for American palette who cannot take traditional Asian flavors. If you like traditional Thai and authentic Asian flavors, this place is not for you. Much better Thai restaurants in northern Virginia.
