I first discovered this place over ten years ago and have been going out of my way to come eat here any time I travel to the DC area. The fried chicken and steak plates are amazing! Best thing ever! Taste and flavor has been consistent throughout the years. The spice adds just the right amount of umph to the plate. I also recommend the fried pork belly and pork fried rice.

Very special Northern Thai cuisine. Been there several times and it never disappointed. The Cornish Chicken is a must try! Came again and tried their deep fried rock fish and special grilled soft shell crab and both are very delicious.

We were in the area and decided between the two Thai restaurants in the plaza, this was clearly the one to visit as even with the small quarters people we heading inside in packs. Blown away by the simplicity yet bold flavor of the Drunken Stir Fried Shanghai Noodles! The Massaman curry didn’t disappoint and we’ve already vowed to run it back for the star of the show.. rockfish! S/o to Tu the owner who showed us nothing but genuine hospitality 💯👌🏾

Am I an expert on Thai food? No. Have I sampled every other Thai restaurant in the area? Also, no. Am I at least a picky eater? Not really. I do, however, regularly find myself conjuring up excuses to eat the food found at this place. Maybe it's just me. But I'm guessing it's the food. It really is that good.
