My absolute favorite restaurant in Virginia-- I've gone here countless times with many different people and each time, everyone is delighted. I always order the vegetarian dishes (pad see ew and the green curry). Everything I've tried here has been great. My friend gets the pad thai with chicken and she's just as obsessed.

Food ratings of what ive tried:
Yellow chicken with roti: 5/5 tasty n spicy
Tom yum soup: 3/5 ok taste, strange smell
Duck curry: 4/5 tasty, a lil 2 sweet
December 2025
I like the food here but they just did 2 HUGE price increases within the year on all of their ordering platforms, including the one that is on their website. For example, the price for green curry went from $16.50 earlier this year to over $22.00 now. I just can't justify paying for price gouging like that anymore. Sorry, no more orders.
