50 Best Thai Restaurants near Mclean

“Food is phenomenal! The northern style Thai food is authentic.“

“บรรยากาศดี จัดร้านได้สัดส่วนเหมาะสม อาหารรสชาติดี แซบ ครับ“

“Pasa Thai is more than Passa-ble, as the pork red curry and spicy onion rings were banging. I also always gotta respect any place with as large a tea selection as theirs. They also refilled my water cup a lot, something other places sometimes neglect. I guess my one complaint is that the onion rings could've been spicier.“

“Google is wonderful. I would have never come across this place just driving around. My taste bud is simple and often order fried rice and either lo mein or chow mein. I ordered the chicken lo mein with shrimp fried rice. Not a fancy place but the food hit the spot. I am glad I tried this place; this will be my new go to place.“

“Tyson Center’s Chinese fast food hot pepper sausage is recommended by many people. I ordered one portion and it was really good. The price of 13 dollars a portion is quite cost-effective. You can add a portion of large intestine for an extra 5 dollars. The lunch box is the main meal and rice. There is no Other side dishes are a bit monotonous when eaten alone, and the taste is a bit heavy and needs to be mixed with water. The fried udon is just so-so, and the dumplings are okay.

Parking: There are many in the mall“

“wonderful small family owned Thai restaurant in Washington DC. the food is excellent and the service is great.“

“Tucked just off Georgetown’s bustling main street, Rimtang is a charming ode to Thai street food, capturing the vibrant spirit of its inspiration. The menu offers familiar classics with familiar flavors in an unpretentious setting.

The spring rolls were an instant hit—perfectly crisp with a delicate balance of crabmeat and black mushroom that avoided being overly crabby or earthy. The papaya salad was a refreshing palate cleanser, with a subtle undercurrent of heat that played well with the crunch of green beans, cherry tomatoes, and peanuts.

The spicy crispy calamari was the crowd-pleaser of the table. Imagine bite-sized calamari poppers—light, crunchy, and addictive. Every piece delivered a satisfying snap, and they vanished from the table as quickly as they arrived. The laab tod brought the dry heat I crave at thai spots. Crispy, aromatic bites of kurobuta pork coated in toasted rice powder had a dry, lingering spice that kept me reaching for more.

The panang curry with chicken was a comforting dish that didn’t overdo it. The chicken was tender, swimming in a well-balanced coconut curry with kaffir lime. A side of white rice tied it all together without overwhelming it.

The thai lemongrass pandan tea arrived in a playful freezer bag with a straw—a whimsical touch and a nod to its street food roots. It wasn’t overly sweet either.

The space is clean, though the booths are a little snug for comfort. Our waiter was clearly new and stumbled a bit with the menu, but their kindness and prompt service smoothed over any hiccups. While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it nails the essentials—crispy textures, balanced heat, and fresh flavors. For now, it’s a solid stop for a satisfying thai fix.“

“I really loved the service the food, presentation and the atmosphere!!! Would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the Alexandria or DC area.

Vegetarian options: Load of veggie and Tofu options.

Parking: Free parking lot across the restaurant.“

“I’m going to post the same review I gave on Yelp - this is a 5 Star place! After a day in DC, my family decided to try Soul Thai on our way home. What a terrific Experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was some of the best Thai we have ever had. The Pad Thai was amazing. The Hang Over Noodles (Drunken Noodles) was exceptional. And the red curry was by far the best I’ve had in the area. The ambiance was quite pleasant as well. Initially we were sat in an area that was a little noisy for our taste, but they graciously moved us to a much quieter section. The owner, Nancy came over after our meal and was very appreciative of our comments on the meal. She shared with us that she personally picks the freshest ingredients she can find to ensure the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Soul Thai to everyone. We will be coming back soon. THANK YOU, Nancy!!!!“

“Decided to try mae ornnit with my sister based on the strong reviews they have. Our server provided excellent, attentive service from start to finish. Mixed reviews on the food: Papaya salad was a downer. Lacks that nice flavor with fish sauce and papaya slices were sliced a bit too thick. Tom kha gai and chicken wonton soups were a winner. Lovely coconut milk flavor for tom kha soup. Fried tofu was pretty decent. The sweet and sour sauce for crispy flounder rocked, but I was expecting a slightly fresher flounder than what we had. Overall a pretty nice experience and we may return if we pass by the area again.“

“We love eating here - my favorite is the cream cheese wontons and my husband likes the Pad KraPow. Lots of vegetarian options (though the curry is all made with fish sauce, at least they warn you up front). Cocktails are around $10 and they have some yummy non alcoholic drinks too.“

“I don't usually write reviews, but this new (at least to me) restaurant deserves one. I ordered the Pomelo salad and tom yum soup for (takeout) dinner, but the salad would have been plenty. It was delicious!!! Big chunks of luscious, juicy sweet pomelo, fat grilled shrimp (more than I expected - 4? 5?), sweet shredded carrots and herby peppers in a tangy, spicy dressing. I never did get to my soup. Oh well, I'll have it for lunch... My husband had the Koong Pad Black Pepper, which is a shrimp stirfry with broccoli, ginger and garlic. It looked wonderful also, and he raved about it, but I wasn't tempted.Mine was too good.“

“my favorite hole-in-wall thai ! finally i found a Thai place with a curry sauce that features great veggies + meat, decent portions, and silky smooth. The pangang and green curry were delicious...the green curry was great but the pangang was chef's kiss. We also got the Pad Thai and combo basil fried rice... excellent! As if that wasn't enough...there were chics kicking a** behind the counter. Li, her sister, and a young girl were all very friendly and quite the cooks in the kitchen.
PS at first glance the parking looks terrible but there's more & better parking behind the building.

Great job ladies! I'll be back!“

“wow what a gem!!! this place is going to do good business!!!!!!! the entrees ..desserts...service .....everything is amazing!!!!“

“My wife and I were here on business for a couple of weeks and saw this place when we Googled Thai food this place popped up. Well worth the 4.7 stars and more. We had Shrimp Khao Pad and Pad Thai. Both dishes were delicious and more than enough in portion. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely eat here again and recommended dining for anyone looking for a Thai fix. Price was great as well….$37 for both meals and a hot Ginger tea. Thank you Happy Thai for an enjoyable meal!“

“WOW! I live in DC and have tried basically every Thai place in DC but rarely make it to VA. Thai is some of my favorite food. My main complaint with most DC places is that the food is NOT spicy enough. Not the case here! I got the drunken noodles tonight and hands down they were the spiciest best I've had in the area! Love this place! New favorite Thai spot in the DMV! I'll be back and VERY SOON! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAI FOOD SPICY AS IT SHOULD BE!“

“Good food. Decent service and clean, colorful surroundings. I will go back. For sure.“

“Absolutely extraordinary! Courtside Thai Cuisine is a gem in the heart of Fairfax, VA. From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the aromatic allure of authentic Thai cuisine. The food is a culinary masterpiece, each dish a symphony of flavors harmoniously blending together. The Pad Thai is a revelation, with perfectly cooked noodles and a balance of sweet, sour, and savory that dances on the palate. The Green Curry is another star, its richness and depth of flavor truly showcasing the art of Thai cooking. Service here is impeccable. The staff are attentive, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They are knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to accommodate any dietary preferences or modifications. But what truly sets Courtside Thai Cuisine apart is the ambiance. The decor is elegant yet cozy, providing an ideal backdrop for both casual dinners and special occasions. It's a place where every meal feels like a celebration. In a world full of dining options, Courtside Thai Cuisine stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence and hospitality. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, a journey through the vibrant, flavorful landscapes of Thailand. A true Fairfax treasure, I can't recommend it highly enough! 5 stars all the way!“

“If you’re in search of authentic Thai cuisine, look no further than this hidden gem. Tucked away like a best-kept secret, this unassuming spot delivers food that is as delicious as its artful presentation. Each dish is meticulously crafted by the talented Thai chef/owner, whose passion for authentic flavors shines through every bite. The flavor reminded me of homemade food in Thailand.

The service is impeccable, adding to the experience, with the server/bartender who made as feel like valued guests in a cozy, bright and cheerful space. In a neighborhood increasingly filled with gentrified spots, this place is a refreshing reminder of what real, freshly made food should be. I wish I lived here just for the opportunity to dine at this incredible restaurant more often!“

“Delicious food, fast and friendly service. I really liked the Tokyo mule. Recommend!“

“Had read some mixed reviews but we gave it a shot and we were greatly impressed! We called ahead for our party of 10 and they had our reservations ready and accommodated us nicely. The service was excellent and the food was fantastic. Our party ranged from age 14 to 55, some loved Thai and some had never tried it. There was something for everyone to enjoy on the menu. Plus, it was very reasonably priced. We had a large party and it didn't break the bank, as they say. Great food and comradery was had by all! I don't normally write reviews, but again, I was impressed. Definitely recommend!“

“This is an excellent outing and what a nice surprise! Started with crispy calamari and empanadas. My husband had curried chicken soup and I had pad thai. Everything was delicious and piping hot! Service was delightful! We will definitely be back!“

“We are visiting from Tennessee and wanted authentic Thai cuisine. We found it at Sampannee!!! The best Thai meal I have ever eaten. The cocktails were delicious and the food was perfection! Very friendly kitchen and the waitress was very friendly. I’ll be dreaming of Sampannee for many months! So, so good!!“

“Excellent service and food was great with large portions!“

“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!!“

“The food was amazing. The staff was very kind. The atmosphere was great and it was overall a great value!! I’d recommend!“

“Great food and great name!“

“This is the best thai restaurant in NoVA, owned by such a lovely family, who also used to own Happy Thai near Mosaic. We know because we used to go to Happy Thai all the time but since the owner change it wasn’t the same. Through luck we learned that the owner family actually owned this restaurant first! We were ecstatic and indeed, it was the familiar taste that we remember from Happy Thai 2-3 yrs ago!“

“Birthday party good food good drinks good service“

“Bangkok St. is a lovely establishment with great food and kind staff. I rarely review here but I love them and want you, famished, seeking complex flavors in a warm environment, to enjoy it, too.

Parking: Parking as far as the light touches“

“Duangrat’s is always on point. Nice size portions. Always pleasant service.“

“Used to really like this place but we were denied seating on the patio unless we had a dog. We have two young children and it is much easier to manage them outside and there was no one else out there. Thanks for the quick respons Sisters at Old Town North Alexandria you guys have been one of our favorite places and I hope we can visit again in the future.“

“Went here with my friends and it was a 10/10 experience from start to finish! Our waiter’s name was Bitt and he couldn’t have been more accommodating and sweet! The food was amazing! I had the pad Thai and it was perfect!! I would recommend this place to everyone!“

“Love their calamari and any of their noodle dishes. This has become a staple. Very friendly waitresses and excellent service. Authentic cuisine!

Update on August 2024. This restaurant is no longer Raibieng. It is now Mum Aroi. I went there with my family. They have all the staple Thai dishes. We thought it was good! Happy that another thai restaurant took its place. And Duangrats is right around the corner!“

“We had a delightful dinner this evening. All the dishes were delicious and properly seasoned. My only complaint is when I asked for Nam Pla ( fish sauce) I was told there was none available and was offered soy sauce instead. I find it very difficult to believe that a Thai restaurant would not have nam pla available for its customers.“

“I love the seafood fried rice with a little spice!! Delicious“

“We dine here relatively frequently. Plenty of tasty vegan options. Service is good, performed by friendly staff. They play some music, but not too loud. And you can even charge your EV for free (within a few minutes' walk)! What else does one have to ask for? :D

Parking: There are free EV chargers within a few minutes' walk.“

“This restaurant is a true hidden culinary gem in Rockville. The food is authentic Thai and very delicious! We especially love all the little touches of decor making you feel like you are in Bangkok.“

“Sweet Rice is a lovely restaurant. The creative Thai dishes are delicious. Servers are very professional and friendly. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. For the best of Thai cuisine you cannot do better than Sweet Rice in Falls Church.“

“Amina Thai in Rockville is an excellent spot to relax and enjoy some delicious Thai food. Their extensive menu features a variety of dishes, catering to both meat lovers and vegetarians alike. I tried the chicken Pad Thai, and it was truly exceptional. The sauce was wonderfully tangy, and there was plenty of chicken—definitely a step up from many Asian restaurants that skimp on meat.

We also ordered the veggie noodles, which were decent but didn’t stand out. Overall, the prices are reasonable, making it a great value. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the dining experience. If you’re in the area, Amina Thai is definitely worth a visit!

Dishes Ordered: Veggie Drunken Noodles, Chicken Pad Thai and Tofu Vegetable“

“One of the best Thai places I’ve been to in a while. The food was amazing and the prices are very reasonable.

For starters, we got the only chicken tom kha and the yum caramelized dried fish salad. Both were out of this world. The tom kha was packed with chicken and vegetables, but the soup itself was good enough to eat on its own. This was the first time we tried a caramelized dried fish salad but it’s probably our favorite now.

For entrees, we got the fish prik glua and crispy duck with basil. Both were wonderful. Each came with a good amount of fish/duck and vegetables. We were too full to get desert but will definitely try next time.“

“Enjoyed lunch with a friend here. We sat outside and while the weather was lovely, the trucks going by on Connecticut Avenue made it hard to hear. Our meals of the lunch special were tasty and spiced just enough to enjoy without mouth burning. I liked my Pad Ginger with Pork served with a green salad with a memorable peanut sauce. My friend liked her Pad Thai with Chicken served with a taro roll.“

“This is the best fried rice in the DMV and it’s not even close.“

“My favorite Pad thai with shrimp“

“First time here and the food is exactly as I have heard. The classic chiken satay with peanut sauce was great. The masumon curry was served in a large bowl with rice and the chicken rama was just as delicious as the curry. Neither were spicy and both were wonderful.“

“บริการดีอาหารอร่อยได้ไวรสชาติดีมาก“

“Ordered take out. Got Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, and Drunken Noodles. Everyone LOVED their food. The Drunken Noodles was too spicy for me, but absolutely deliciou! (I will ask for 'medium spice' next time.) The descriptions of what was in each dish were accurate - which is important for our nut allergy guy.
The portions were huge! We each saved half our portions for lunch tomorrow.
The food was hot and ready when I walked in the door. The staff that helped me with the order were super friendly. Easy street parking right outside. The interior looked so warm and inviting - I am eager to return and dine-in!“

“Great Thai Food in NOVA. I really enjoyed Burapa Thai. The food was great .“
