Service and food are great. Glad came back. Pad Thai is still outstanding. Tried Red Curry Steak and it was spicy enough with delicious red curry.

We went in right at close and it appeared the entire staff was in a huge hurry to get out of there. Staff looking at us from the back of the restaurant rolling their eyes and looking at there watches. A rude server that said, " you've got 10 minutes." I was so shocked, I was speechless!! If service is... More

Yesterday a friend and I stopped my Shirlington Thai before heading to the movies. We always enjoy going there as the food is priced well and the service great. This visit was no exception. I had a light dinner of delicious spring rolls and wonton soup while my friend had fried wontons and shrimp in fried rice. We both eagerly... More

I work nearby and frequent this restaurant because of the excellent food, service, and location. I haven't had a dish I didn't like here! Great location and outdoor dining during the right seasons. I enjoy their drunken noodles paired with a Pinot Grigio. Their crispy egg rolls and chicken Sarah are also delicious! Shirlington is a quaint neighborhood nestled just... More

I work in Shirlington and there are plenty of great restaurants in the area, but this one SHINES above the rest! I have always enjoyed the service, ambiance and most especially the food! So many great dishes to choose, but I have to recommend the Spicy Chicken Basil. It's prepared like I've never had anywhere else and the flavor is... More

I enjoyed the food at this nice place in Shirlington. The crispy egg rools were wonderful and the entrees came out well prepared. I found the staff friendly and attentive (although right at the line of overbearing) and the service was quick. I would go back if I had a taste for Thai in Shirlington, though I don't think it...

We ate here on New Year's Eve. Located on a beautiful street with the trees all lit up. I liked the Gyoza's for appetizer. They were great. The 6 of use just ordered 6 dishes and 2 appetizers and shared. Excellent food.

The location of this restaurant is great. Right in the heart of Shirlington near the theater and shops. However, the quality of the food is a little uneven. I had the chicken coconut soup. The soup was very tasty with several layers of flavor. However, the chicken in the soup was tasteless and seemed to have been boiled and then... More

We love the food, love the location and the staff is always friendly. One of the best things is the lunch time lunch specials. Also, our two favorites is the sticky rice papaya dessert and the Thai Iced Coffee.

We ate here before going to a the theater in Shirlington. The restaurant does attract a crowd and the noise level is commensurate with the number of patrons. In other words, not relaxing. The food is okay at best. I have had much better Thai food at other restaurants in the DC area. If you are going to Shirlington, don't... More
