“I'm in Thailand literally now and I remember ThaiByThai in sterling!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 2, 2011

When i'm back home in the US i always go here because I live nearby. The thai food is pretty good and a great value.

I'm in thailand at the momeent and must stay the food at thaibythai is really good.

Look, if you want REALLY authentic thai food you may not like what you see because ALL THE PLACES IN THAILAND F^^cking load the food with MSG (monosodium Glutamine) and I'm sure they don't do that here!

I've been in thailand now for a few months and i know why so many people like thai food now and it's greatly to do with how much MSG they have been putting into it for the past decade or two.

Best Pad thai is at ThaiByThai for the price in the NOVA. The other place i like but is more costly is Thai Pilin near Tysons whose soft tofu is great.

“Favorite Thai place in Nova”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 11, 2008

Authentic, tasty, affordable. They don't over do the sugar like most of the local Thai places, and actually believe me when I order it hot.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2007

this place is genius. Set up similar to Chipotle in that you walk up to the counter, order your food, but then get a number and they deliver to your table by course. You refill your own soda, and there are take-away boxes on the counter. The prices are great, nearly everything is adaptable for vegetarians. You order a soup, entree, etc, and then choose tofu, chicken, meat, seafood. Given the casualness of it all, the interior is really cute and comfortable. You don't lose the feeling that you're getting a nice dinner out.
