“Consistently excellent Thai food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Recently moved from Tysons to Arlington and have eaten here multiple times in the last few weeks due to lack of food in the house. The food is incredible, and consistently good. Traditional dishes such as the Drunken Noodle are absolutely perfect, whether you choose the spicy or non-spicy version. Portion sizes are robust.

Their seasonal dishes are great too. Currently, they have a squash (and chicken) red curry dish that is out of this world.

In some cases, I recommend dining in; as an example, the curry dish mentioned above comes with a salad but only when dining in.

“Great food, great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012 via mobile

The Thai food gives you the option to be as authentic and spicy as you can handle. The seafood is very well done, the hot woks are fresh and pack a punch and the appetizers are generous. Go at happy hour and it is super cheap. My favorite is e spicy eggplant. Take out or eat in, this one will not disappoint.

“Delicious food at an excellent price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012 via mobile

This place is really a great find for any Thai food lovers out there! The food is delicious and the servers are very helpful if you need any advice, but you shouldn't need it because everything is excellent. What makes it even better, the prices are really reasonable allowing for a tasty meal at a great price. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

“Very, very, very tasty”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

Where to start.... spicy tofu - amazing. Duck - amazing. Spring rolls, fried rice - great. The service is always friendly and the dining area is nicely decorated. This is certainly one of the best values you can find - on a scale from 1 to 10, you get food that is an 8 and you pay the same amount for food that is half that quality elsewhere. I've never had drinks here, but am told they are pretty great.

“My favorite Thai for takeout”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2012

I enjoy takeout or delivery from this restaurant almost too much! (I've only dined-in twice, but have had takeout or delivery dozens of times.) I like every dish I've had there; tasty, moderately-spiced (you can go hotter) typical Thai-menu dishes at good prices. (There are other, smaller Thai restaurants in the area that probably offer more "authentic" - less common - dishes as well.) The restaurant is handsomely decorated for dine-in. Parking can be a challenge, as there are many popular spots along this stretch of Columbia Pike. For locals in their delivery area, I've found the delivery times always faster than the quoted 45 minutes, and I've not had a mistake in a delivery yet. (Something I can't say about, for instance, the national pizza chain delivery in my area.)
