Been coming here for 30 years, and it's the best Thai in the region. The duck noodle soup is my favorite, everything on that menu is delicious!

Thai Luang is overall a good place, though not great. Service is acceptable and the prices are reasonable, especially if you go with their specials. There are several sitting tables and a couple of rooms for occasions, which is nice. Parking is available, so that makes it convenient.

If you want Thai Hot they will make it hot. They won't wimp out like Nunu's. Green Papaya Salad and everything duck amazing. Come here for the duck. Good Thai Iced Tea, but maybe not #1, still good though. Even the non-spicy duck stir-fry was good, but I prefered the basil and chili one

My family & I have been coming to Thai Luang for decades. Today I had the pleasure of introducing my friend to this restaurant. We both enjoyed the lunch specials & friendly service. We both had the vegetable spring roll & chicken lemon grass soup. My friend had the rice rice & added shrimp 🍤. I had the famous crispy duck with sweet basil and steamed rice. Delicious as expected 😋 We will return ❤️

Thai Luang is an absolute gem that has become a staple in my family's dining traditions. For years, we've returned time and time again, always leaving with satisfied appetites and wonderful memories. This restaurant has perfected the balance of exceptional food and outstanding hospitality, making every visit a joy.

The staff is consistently warm and welcoming, ensuring that each guest feels at home from the moment they step through the door. Whether we're dining as a family or bringing friends from out of town, the service is always impeccable—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring.

Now, let's talk about the food. Simply put, Thai Luang delivers some of the best Thai cuisine in the DMV area. Every dish is crafted with precision, bold flavors, and fresh ingredients. But one dish, in particular, continues to amaze me: the green curry with crispy duck. It is nothing short of a masterpiece. The rich, velvety curry sauce is perfectly spiced, and somehow—against all culinary logic—the duck remains unbelievably crispy, despite being immersed in the sauce. It’s a mystery that I will gladly leave unsolved because every bite is pure bliss.

Thai Luang is more than just a restaurant—it’s a cherished experience. It’s where we celebrate family, introduce friends to unforgettable flavors, and enjoy a level of quality and hospitality that is rare to find. If you're looking for top-tier Thai food, look no further.

Easily one of the best Thai spots in the DMV. Highly recommended!

There are a lot of choices for Thai in northern Virginia, and I’ve sampled quite a few. I’ve been coming to Thai Luang for over 25 years now, and they remain one of the best. The quality of their food is simply a step above everyone else.
