This restaurant on 14th street has some really well spiced dishes. My group came by on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the nice window booth. The khao soi was extremely flavorful along with nice presentation. My friend liked the crispy duck they got but I thought the duck was a little over cooked. Overall I really liked the dish I got and would come back again. It took a little bit for us to get the food and our waiter wasn't the most attentive, but I also feel like this is the type of place where you come for the food instead of the service. read more

What a wonderful experience with fresh hot food delivered to the table. We walk in it is the cutest little place ever do you need to wear a mask when you come in we sat down and we're greeted by the cutest little server and she explained everything to us and what she recommended. We ordered pad Thai, lemon grass chicken and pork and mixed vegetables in a garlic sauce. First of all the flavors were bursting as soon as it hit all 3 of ours pallets. We looked at each other and said wow! I highly recommend this location! read more

Thai Tanic is located at a busy part of 14th, and can be a little hard to miss (next to Baan Thai). I ordered the Moo Todh Kartiem Thai lunch special, which was a well seasoned pork and a side of jasmine rice. The pork was very tasty, but also a tard bit salty. The rice/pork proportion could have also been a little less modest, as I found myself wanting a lot more rice serving for the amount the meal cost. I did a pick up, and staff was respectful and friendly. The interior was not very well lit, but pretty cozy and clean. This is a place that you can stop by with some friends for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

I used to come here about 15 years ago till 8 years ago, I visited every trip. Then I haven't been back to DC for awhile till now. I was a disappointed that Thai-Tanic wasn't around, I did a little searching. Realized that they are still own by the same family, just changed their name, I was so happy! Chicken fried rice was so good. Yum Woon Sen was as good as I remember. Tom Yum was perfect for a cold winter night in DC. Pork Shoulder and sticky rice and spicy dipping fish sauce was so good. I order mild so my hubby can eat it. He thought it was spicy... HAHA which means they are legit when you do spicy, expect to get a tissue box next to you and some water or better some milk! The place has been remodeled, bright, shiny, beautiful decors, very welcoming with a small bar. I'll definitely dining in on our next visit when it allows. Authentic food, well price, and good people. read more

We both ordered the mee grob lad na, and it was very good. Definitely will be going back

Plating/presentation was really creative. I ordered the braised pork shoulder (it comes with jasmine rice and a spicy sauce on the side). The meal came on a wooden plate (see picture) super cute and very different. The rice was cooked very well. I love jasmine rice. The dish is simple just the braised pork shoulder with the rice and sauce but simple is good. The spicy sauce on the side wasn't as spicy as I anticipated. I believe the base is a type of fresh sweet/sour sauce topped with a Thai spicy power. The sauce tasted a little bitter, but not overwhelming. I ended up pouring some of the sauce on the meat and dipping in it, I had sauce left over after my meal, so no worries about not having enough sauce. The pork should was juicy and well cooked. All in all, I would come here again and try another dish. The food is pretty well priced for DC meals. Slightly more expensive than other Thai restaurants though. All of the meals on the menu are accompanied by pictures which is very helpful. Appetizers were around $9/each so I just got an entree. Restaurant is a little dark, staff is really nice. read more

The service was gracious and polite . THAT address has been several Thai restaurants. This is by far the best I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT and will make it my destination for Thai food in the future. read more

What we love is- this is a local neighborhood restaurant and you really feel it. A bit off the beaten path and not swamped by tourist. This was not the best Thai, but it was good. We would be back for sure. Pricing was extremely reasonable. Four in our party. Split and shared four entres and a variety of appetizers. Used to be Thai Tanic. Now under new name. read more

Short and sweet...I have been in DC all week for a business meeting. Working long days and not craving overpriced hotel food I decided to walk to a Thai restaurant about a bloc away. I sat at the bar and ordered some takeout. It was not busy at all while. I specifically asked for massuman curry with chicken, NO onions. Got my meal and headed back to my hotel. Shame on me, I should have checked. Got to my room, my meal had a lot of onions. They charged me 5 cents for the takeout bag, with no mention. However, neglected putting silverware or napkins in paid bag. I could have gone back out and asked for those things but quite frankly after working almost 12 hours I was simply tired and hungry. Some of these places need to be more aware of their customers circumstances, special food needs, providing proper utensils to enjoy their meal with, etc. my bill with 1 small appetizer was $37, not chump change. Very disappointed in this experience. read more

Ordered delivery from here and was unimpressed. Got the papaya salad, chicken larb, and chicken drunken noodles. The papaya salad and larb were pretty good but was disappointed with the drunken chicken. Noodles were gummy and there were no vegetables in it. I would have given a 3.5 review if possible. I'll probably order from somewhere else in the future. read more

Ehhhh it's okay. Not the best thai place that i've been to in DC. I had the Pad See Ew and it tastes like it was cooked in old, burned oil. I tasted the aftertaste of cooking using old grease. And it was very greasy, I knew the oil was old bc the egg in my dish was gray looking. Maybe if they used a fresher oil, then it would have tasted better? The flavor was there, but the presentation/freshness wasn't. read more

I didn't have high expectations for this place at all...but wow, Ammathar totally exceeded my expectations. Out of all the fancy places I've dined at in DC, this was the most memorable. There's nothing special about the decor or the service, but the food is truly spectacular. I'm used to Southeast Asian flavors, and it's been so long since I found a restaurant that delivers on those flavors that I've been longing for. The prices amazing, the drinks amazing, and the food is delicious! Truly will travel back to DC just for this Thai food. read more

Been going to this place since it was Thaitanic. Since the name change the food has improved but the service has fallen off. Right now I'm standing at the bar waiting for them to correct my pickup order, which for the second time in a row was missing something (this time it's one of the entrees!). Basically you need to check their work every time you order. But the food is delicious. :) read more

Amazing food and service! Have order from here several times and has never failed to miss. The everyone is very kind and the vibe is low key and welcoming :) will definitely be coming back soon!! read more

Was VERY disappointed in this meal. It was a special family occasion. Order took long, food arrived mildly warm, and food was only mediocre. We got the soft shell crab pad Thai, noodles and flavor was good but crab was soggy mush. We didn't even finish it. Also we got two curry's that were ok but the rice they came with was tiny. Why?!? Why would make the rice so small? Do you really need to skimp that much? So weird and just rude. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. The staff barely acknowledged our presence as we came into the restaurant, it spent them 5 minutes (all the servers were unoccupied and not busy!) to notice us and give us our ordered takeout. There was strange sediment in our Thai Iced Teas, I don't recommend this at all!! My family and I are Thai food eaters - we eat Thai food almost once a month due to cravings. Their Pad Thai was salty and tasted/smelled like cat food - what Thai restaurant fumbles their Pad Thai?! Their online website was confusing too - the dishes looked fabulous on their Thai Tanic website, but when actually ordering and getting the food, it was subpar and underwhelming. Disappointed and disgusted! read more

I am so sad to give this restaurant one star. I was here twice this week with my family. We really liked the food but last night I was absolutely shocked when the owner asked me to clean the milk spilled from my son's cup. ON THE FLOOR. It was an accident and not something on purpose. While two other servers were smiling to my apologies, the lady owner responded to me all pissed and asked me to clean. Not only I had complimented them for the food and be a courteous customer, the restaurant wasn't even full. I was so shocked I didn't want to create a scene and cleaned. After I finished she showed up with the mop. I want to notice I wasn't done with my food. So we paid and left. If you don't want families at your restaurant, put a sign at the door. Very very very sad. read more

My first time to DC alone. Me and a friend who lives in DC and works Downtown DC suggested we come here for dinner, I did have a taste for Thai food. The experience and the food was GREAT!!!! When I come back to DC I will make sure I visit again!!!! Sharon read more

Mediocre Thai food. Easy to find better. Hole-in-the-wall feel which was fine/good but it was expensive for a very average tasting meal.

How have I lived 2 miles away and not discovered this place yet? Food was SO good (had Caesar salad with salmon perfectly cooked), server (Oz) was excellent and got every specification right. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was it was a bit noisy - music too loud for a couple of us with sensitive ears. read more

I had pretty low expectations for Thai Tanic given the mediocre Yelp consensus and, frankly, the name, but both the Panang Curry and especially the Pad Thai exceeded expectations. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Thai Tanic has a very casual atmosphere, and it's hours are such that it's a great post-bar spot. While that combination might make for a sub-par experience, the service really is on point. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $11.50 got me a decent portion of Panang Curry with some rice, and the same amount of dough would have gotten me a heap of pad thai, which was reasonable. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? My Panang Curry was good, with a thick and flavorful curry hindered a bit by chicken that was a bit too tough. However, I spent the evening devouring my friend's medium and hot pad thai, which was genuinely excellent. It wasn't sweet like some Western iterations, and the spiciness was excellent without being overwhelming. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? A nice spot, but in that it's not entirely difficult to find great Thai in DC, I can't say this is a five star contender. No Star. read more

Ammathar - Panang Curry: $11.50 - Thai Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I am shocked by this place having just a 3.5 star collection of reviews on yelp. Went to 2 other thai restaurants with higher avg reviews in area in past few days and by no means did they compare. The menu is expansive. No joke, 3x normal thai menu from Midwest with diverse array of appetizers, noodle dishes in particular. Featured here are many dishes not on average American thai menu. Food though was the kicker-absolutely stellar. I can be critical of thai food in reviews and have eaten in numerous thai restaurants in travels all around the United States and this place stacks up with the best. My meal here was top ten thai experiences I have had ever. Would not go as far to say it's a top ten thai restaurant that I have eaten due to only eating one time but the one time was incredible. The chicken tapioca balls to start were excellent. I had the curry rice noodles with ground chicken, diced shrimp, and veg tempura as a crunch which was the game changer. Had not had this dish in many other restaurants so jumped on the chance to eat here, and was well worth it. It's very similar to kao soi but instead of fried noodles for crunch there is tempura. Also, instead of yellow curry base this is red curry, and then instead of bone in chicken the meat is ground. These nuances led to the dish being much more enjoyable even in my opinion than kao soi. The curry was spicy but had notes of sweetness with a killer subtle tangy sourness. The meat was dispersed perfectly absorbing flavor in every square micrometer of it and the texture with creamy noodles with crunch tempura was perfect. My wife ordered pad ka pao which is done thai style with ground meat and sunny side egg. This dish was good but will mention it was more so average to slightly above avg and nowhere near the excellence of the curried noodle dish. Lastly, coconut custard for dessert was great as was not overly sweet, was served warm and had nice savory notes. Service was good as well. Highly recommend to anyone living in or visiting dc. read more

I frequent this place a decent amount, whether in person or takeout. I really wanted Pad Thai for dinner, so I took my boyfriend out on a date here and it was good but the restaurant definitely was overwhelmed with takeout. I completely understand you are busy with takeout but our meals took over 20ish minutes or more to come out. And the server was gone and didn't see him for a while. I think you need to prioritize in house orders over takeout. I would def rethink dining in next time because it was a long wait for the food because of the takeout backup. read more

Very nice. Very very nice. I'm sure some other reviews have mentioned but they changed the name of this place. You'll be confused at first but it's the right spot.

Multiple servers attend to you just to make sure everything is okay. Would definitely recommend. read more

Who turned the lights out? Not me. And how would I know? Because when I walked in here it was already dimly lit, and not in the type of way that adds to a mysterious ambience. Call it whatever, but I felt like I needed a flashlight. I only got an appetizer here as I was craving something small, and I got the "angel wings" is a fried chicken wing stuffed with all sorts of meats. Definitely worth trying. If those are an angel's wings, then that angel must be floating around the oily caves of heaven. 4.5 stars for the food. 2.5 stars for the ambience. Equals 3.5... but I didn't notice anything to push it up .5 stars, but I will definitely come here again to try more food. read more

Well, this was my first visit and I was not pleased. 1. I have NEVER been to any restaurant where the bartender is unable to fix drinks that are not on the menu. I asked the bartender if I could get an Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark bourbon whiskey and was told they didn't even have Maker's Mark. Seriously! I just ask for some red wine. 2. When our appetizers were brought out, we didn't get any small sharing plates. I can't recall the last time I went out to eat, especially if the establishment is Asian cuisine, and didn't get small share plates when appetizers are brough out. 3. My food was not hot, just warm. 4. NO ONE came to check on us during our meal. The serving staff was friendly but I will not be back. There are too many other Thai restaurants in the DMV that are, quite frankly, better read more

3 and a half stars for this place. I met up with friends at Thai Tanic during my holiday visit in DC. One of them requested this place claiming it's his favorite Thai restaurant in town. Personally, I haven't tried this place, so I took this chance to try it out. We got there like half an hour before their siesta, so we rushed to order a bunch of stuff before the kitchen was closed. So we got the Dumplings, Papaya Salad set, Grilled Pork Shoulder, Tom Yum Gai and Duck in Sweet and Sour sauce, and a few cocktails. The plating was well-presented. The papaya salad was really good with raw blue crabs. Dumpling sauce needed to be a tad tangy. I wasn't fond of the duck tossed in some sweet and sour sauce. Oh, don't order Mint Mojito cuz it was way too citrusy. I had to add a shot of syrup to balance it out. Overall, the service was amazing, but the food needs some improvements, or I'm just a f*ing food snob. ;-( read more

Literally one of the only places along 14th street where the food is worth the price. The decor and mood is not as swanky as what you'd find elsewhere but the service is extremely hospitable and the food more than makes up for any shortcomings. The soft shell crab is incredible. read more

Visiting Washington, I became aware of "Baan Thai" through a "best cheap list" in the Washington Post. Somehow I appeared to have missed the correct entry and unintentionally ended up in "Thai Tanic" The food was good however lacked any sophistication, but very friendly staff. Little space between tables that appear to be in a little bit too sticky. read more

Corny name, but more imaginative and less offensive than "Wok and Roll". Ate here on a Saturday at noon and it wasn't crowded (good for us!). A few of us took advantage of their full bar. For appetizers, we ordered the golden triangles (tasty and recommended) and yum talay ($11), a collection of fresh shrimp, scallops, mussels, and squids (cooked on low heat) tossed with a spicy lime sauce and mixed vegetables (tangy mmmm). We also had a papaya salad with sun-dried shrimp, tomatoes, string beans and crushed peanuts in a spicy lime dressing. I'd get that again... For soups, there are your standard choices - tom yum vegetable/chicken/shrimp - though someone went the extra mile and got the boiling sea soup (Thai spicy broth with combo of seafood, tomatoes, and mushrooms). No idea how that was... I sampled the green curry (with chicken; $9) which had a decent amount of heat, along with eggplant in coconut milk and basil leaves. Our group shared a plate of pad thai chicken ($10) made spicy (delicious). To close for dessert, we had the mango and sticky rice and crispy banana - good, sweet times. Service (Sam) was friendly and we didn't encounter any language barrier. The check arrived quickly and some of our party even paid by credit card. Good Thai in Logan Circle - recommended for a try! read more
