I enJOYed myself eating for the first time at T.H.A.I. in Shirlington.

Cheerful greeting and presented with the two menus: Spring Special and Lunch Special.

It was the Lunch Special (appetizer and entreè) - $18

What I tasted:
Crispy spring rolls, Tender chicken, Steamed Broccoli, and Soft, Moist Jasmine Rice.
March 2026
T.H.A.I. in Shirlington offers a great dining experience overall. The atmosphere is inviting, and the large dining area makes it a comfortable spot whether you’re going with a group or just a few people. The menu has plenty of options to choose from, which is always a plus.

The Panang curry was definitely a highlight: rich, flavorful, and well-balanced. The drunken noodles, however, were just okay and felt a bit lacking in flavor compared to expectations.

Service...

Been dining here for over two years, have never once had a bad experience. The food is always delicious, the staff is friendly and personable, the prices are very reasonable for the area, and I find myself typically taking home leftovers due to solid portion sizes.

The pad Thai is obviously good, but I would highly recommend the green chicken curry and crispy chive dumplings. Genuinely some of the best food I have ever had in my life.
