  Love this place. Check the menu ahead of time to see what they are making on that day. You do need a reservation. They will make dietary accomodations for the group, but the menu is otherwise fixed, which I love since I can never decide. Bring your own bottle(s) of wine for a corking fee.

  This is absolutely one of the best Thai meals you will ever eat. It usually consists of 7 or so courses and everything if fresh and has that amazing homemade feel. I take everyone here and people rave about. I had my 30th birthday dinner here and it was such a delicious experience. Some nights are designated as vegetarian too!

  Came here for a late Valentine's Day dinner. This place is amazing, seriously. Assuming you like Thai food, you will love this place. The food is seasoned perfectly, portions are excellent, and the atmosphere is very cozy. The only possible detractor is the price, this place is not cheap. But, if you break it down, for what you pay, you get a lot of food. Bought elsewhere in DC, all dishes combined would cost as much or more, but the quality here is more than worth it. This place lived up to the hype, I will return in the future.

  Make a reservation. This place is small and busy and no guarantee that you can get in without one. The food is outstanding! We had the set menu (fixed price) which was an amazing variety of flavors and textures. The Pad Thai was the best I have had in a vary long time, not the same as the overly sweet mostly flavorless kind I find at other Thai restaurants. This one used actual tamarind. The green curry salmon melted in my mouth. Seems like it was poached in a coconut milk broth. Yum! We also had Larb, which was limey, spicy and perfect. Our dessert was magi with sweet rice. The rice was purple, spiced like no other sweet rice I’ve tasted. Full of flavor. And the mango and berries were wonderfully ripe and it all just felt like heaven in your mouth. I’ve eaten a lot of Thai cuisine. This is one of the best places in the US for Thai food. Don’t miss this place.

  Really enjoyed the format of a prix fixe menu that does not require ordering. The restaurant bills itself as authentic Thai cooking and I was hoping to be surprised with some dishes that I'd never experienced. The mango salad had a fantastic amount of heat behind it, but the remainder of the meal was dulled down. The most unique dish was the curried pumpkin while the Pad See Eew was mild and nicely balanced. The mango sweet rice was a perfect ending to the meal. All in all enjoyable, but a 1 star deduction for the menu selection being too safe to appeal to the masses.
