This is probably the best Thai in Old Town. They have a nice view of the Potomac on the upper floors and a creative and engaging atmosphere! The drinks are delish, and the food is very good! Best thing about Mai Thai...THEY DELIVER ....FAST!! More

I went there for the first time on Christmas Eve. There were a great amount of people there for dinner on a Saturday night, even though I assumed most people would be eating at home. We started with a meat (mixture of chicken & beef) dumpling & and also a duck w/ ginger appetizer. Both were good. One friend complained... More

I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the view. I was disappointed by our waiter who assured me the the dishes for two of my kids could be made mild. Needless to say, they were not. More

Finally, this great eatery offers delivery in Old Town. What a wonderful delight. We ordered the Shrimp with Asparagus in light garlic sauce (divine) Vegetables with seafood...tasty. No more soggy greasy Chinese take out. Thanks Mai Thai! (Oh and wallet friendly. Whole bill less than $35...) More
