Can't go wrong with any of the dishes! We love going a lot because it's ALL so good! Service is great! Weekend nights can get busy! Good for any sort of visit. Carry out is available. Word of caution, you will crave to go back once you go!

The owner is known for her Pad Thai, and it is worth it. Very busy at lunch...expect to wait for a table unless you get there early.

I finally found another Thai restaurant in the area that serves good food. The Pad Thai and Kraprow are very good. I think my favorite is Chicken Kraprow. Love their vegetarian spring rolls. Thai ice tea is also good. Food comes in American, Mexican and Thai/Laos hot for those looking for a very hot dish. The service is good, so... More

Great Food, Good Service. The dishes were all very tasty. Noticed that Bobby Flay (Food Network fame) had a throw down on Pad Thai and ... He lost to owner-chef Nongkran Daks !!

Generally pretty good. The service is fairly quick which is useful for a lunch on a working day. Everyone I know who's been there "knows" that you can't trust the heat levels. Two out of 3 visits, a level 3 out of 4 on the heat scale, the food was fairly hot. But once the 3 was only a little... More

The food is good. Some dishes are complex and some just straightforward. Good service. Average atmosphere I do like that they can make the curries very hot ("Laos hot") if you ask for it. I'd go back.

My second trip here for lunch as I wasn't overly thrilled with my first visit. I adore Pad Thai and try it as often as I can at various NoVA restaurants. Perhaps because they are planning for a large lunch crowd this dish suffers. I found it very dry (both times) and very bland. I feel they have cooked this... More

On a major road outside, DC, pleasant people and quick service, next to a thai grocery store, proud of a Bobby Flay Throw Down, Pad Thai is their speciality but large menu, varied customers, local Thais and others like us

Tucked away and not visible from the road the restaurant is hard to find but well worth it. The restaurant had Pad Thai Throwdown with Bobby Flay and won. Can tell you the food was delicious. Pad Thai was amazing.

The Sashimi was good, but not as fresh as I could have hoped for. The chicken rice was not that great and they gave me too much rice and 1 pack of soy sauce. The spicy tuna was runied by the crunchy flakes they put on top.
