Pad Thai (Fish Sauce Base) and Drunken Noodle
Margarita K.

Great place with wonderful service!!! We came here to celebrate a birthday and were treated so well. Every dish was fresh, hot, and delicious, but their drinks deserve a special shoutout - both the cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks are phenomenal! The staff even brought us a complimentary birthday dessert with candles! It felt so special and we will definitely be back.

Swung by on a whim on a Friday for lunch so of course I'm going meatless. So I got some Pad Prik Pow with the seafood. It was prepared quickly and it wasn't bad. The sauce is nicely spicy but not by any means too much. The seafood wasn't cooked too much. A couple of scallops, 3 shrimp, some mussels (out of the shell), and some squid etc. thanks for lunch!

Tried the crab fried rice and papaya salad. The fried rice was tasty, had a decent amount of crab meat, and favorable portions. The papaya salad was delicious as well with the right kick of spice. Place had a cute decor and service was nice. Overall a good experience.

Phenomenal service. Nice open ambience. EXCELLENT selection of food. My first time at AmThai but will be My new Go To for authentic Thai cooking!

We tried their Pad see ew and fried rice. So good! I love the texture of the noodles and the flavor. It was seasoned just right it wasn't sweet or salty just balanced. Good portion size and decent amount of protein in our dishes. I'm coming back to try more things!

I was near by yesterday and my family wanted Thai food. I normally go to my other thai restaurant but we stopped here to try it out. The pad thai was had good flavor and the ambiance was very nice. I would definitely come back again

Tom Yum soup and Papaya Salad
John H.

AmThai appears to be a family run restaurant where service is great and the food is good as well. Their Tom Yum soup was good and spicy. The Papaya Salad was refreshing. We always try the Pad Thai at every Thai restaurant and theirs was a little more saucy than typical but still tasted great. Ordered with shrimp that were decent sized. Ordered their seasonal curry pumpkin currywhich was good and tasted like panang curry. Also ordered their pineapple fried rice which also a bit more saucy than expected but still good. The portions seem to be fairly large. Worth visiting for the good food and great service.

Drunken Noodle
Rachel K.

I stopped by for dinner on a Friday night and ordered the drunken noodles, fresh spring rolls, and Thai iced tea with boba. The drunken noodles were great! So yummy. Noodle texture was perfectly chewy. The spring rolls had way too much lettuce in my opinion and I didn't like that it was pre-cut. But the peanut sauce was really good. My biggest qualm with this place is that it took 35 minutes for the food to come out! I felt like I was waiting around forever and the restaurant wasn't that busy at the time. Overall I would probably come back since the food was good and the ambiance inside is nice (very aesthetic and cute) but hopefully the wait is shorter next time.

Mango sticky rice
Nou Nou S.

My brother and I were craving Thai so we swung by after work. This place is located in a strip mall with other businesses so theres plenty of parking. We ordered 5 dishes: 1) Firecracker shrimp 2) Crispy tofu 3) Green curry 4) Drunken noodle 5) Mango sticky rice. The firecracker shrimp was crispy and delicious served with sweet chili sauce. They were fried well enough that even the tail is edible. The crispy tofu fell flat for us. The outer layer was mediocre and soft, it wasn't crispy at all. It was tasty and served with a sweet sour sauce topped with chopped peanuts. The green curry was on point with a hint of heat and umami they was served with steamed rice. The drunken noodles with beef were scrumptious and filled with flavor. The noodles were wiggly and the aroma from the wok was amazing. For dessert, we got the mango sticky rice. Upon asking about the sweet coconut sauce, our server stated it was already infused in the rice. Again, the mangoes were unpredictable so the dish was okay. If only there were a drizzle of the coconut sauce, it would have made the dish better but unfortunately the warm rice and tart mango was just okay. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was clean and has some interior decor.

Chicken with basil-great flavor! #19 on the menu!
Caroline J.

Delicious Thai food in such a cute restaurant. Was in the area visiting my family and saw that a new Thai restaurant had opened up in the local shopping center and decided to grab to-go food for dinner and I'm glad we did! The woman who took my to-go order over the phone was extremely pleasant and I believe she was also the one who then processed my card and was very nice in person as well. The restaurant is beautiful inside and next time I'm in the area will have to dine it. Now onto the food... The food was top notch. We tried the following dishes, black pepper garlic chicken and it had wonderful flavor. Also had the chicken with basil I can never remember the name but it was number 19 on the menu and was absolutely delicious as well! Great flavor! Great restaurant!

Lard na / Lad na with Chicken
Elise M.

You can always expect excellent service with a smile and delicious food at AmThai by Kanjana! It is my absolute favorite Thai restaurant in NoVA and my go-to spot for Lad Na. However, their special/seasonal menu is also not to be missed. We recently had Soft Shell Crab Pad Thai off their Mother's Day menu and it was so good!

What a good and affordable place for Chinese food! Came on a weekday night and it was pretty empty…read moreand clean. Staff were pretty fast and attentive with the orders and food.

The place was filling up and the ambiance reminds me of a traditional bustling noodle house - perfect for the cold snap we were experiencing at the time. We got hot and sour noodle soup, sichuan beef noodle soup, and an order of their pork soup dumplings. Portions are generous and prices are fair, it's easy to become a regular here if you live nearby. The hot and sour noodle soup is as advertised - just enough spice to complement the sour, but not overwhelm to make it feel like mala. It's served, as expected, with glass noodles, some bak choi, and some pork slices. Nothing spectacular but par for the course. The sichuan beef noodle foon soup was slight notch better. The broth gives really warm vibe and you can tell it's been brothing for a long time. Again just the right amount of spicy to make you keep slurping for more. The noodles were average, chewy, but not bouncy. Also comes with a healthy amount beef slices and bak choi. Again - a great noodle soup bowl but nothing jaw dropping. Soup dumplings were fantastic, however. The pork definitely has its own marinade and the soup is flavorful. The dumpling skin is well constructed and complemented well with the noodle soups - especially in cold weather. tldr; solid noodle soup spot, they seem to be consistent and really hits the mark when you're in a for your noodle fix. Soup dumplings are probably a must get side dish with whatever your main is

My go-to spot suddenly closed, leaving me in a bit of a lurch! Where do I go?! We all have our favorite Chinese restaurant, and when we can't go to that one there's a little bit of a conundrum. I take American Chinese food seriously - which really means I order the same thing 98% of the time because that's my GO TO meal. As an intellectual, that is of course General Tso's chicken. Beijing Tokyo blends north and south Asia into a rather cozy, strip mall location. One person was talking obliviously on her cell phone, while the sushi Chef took orders. Until Yelp asked me if this place was romantic, I hadn't actually thought about it that way. But it is a little romantic. The tables are close together, the light is low, even if this place was full it would be... Cozy. A Chinese restaurant that's cozy is a very short leap to romantic. You can have a conversation here. I ordered my usual and waited about 10 minutes. The GTC was excellent. It had spice and flavor, but not too spicy. The fried rice was delicious. Good portion size and a good price. Two egg rolls and the total came to $25.25. No surprises, nothing out of the ordinary. If you had told me this had come from my favorite- now sadly closed - Chinese restaurant, I would have never known the difference. And there in lies what I think makes a good Chinese restaurant: predictability. American Chinese food is a distinct cuisine with the same menus, the same waving Buddah and melamine plates. The difference is quality, and the taste of your favorite meal. I am sad that my favorite place closed, but Beijing Tokyo is my new Chinese food restaurant, and I think it's pretty darn good.

The place itself is quite small for dine in, but I'm pretty sure that's not their target so we were able to get a seat for 2 pretty easily on a Friday evening. We got mostly "ABC" comfort foods - orange chicken, Yangzhou fried rice, Singapore rice noodles - and an order of their dumplings in spicy sauce (a bit surprising as it's a more northern China style compared to the rest of menu). It was definitely a bit much for just 2 of us but we intended to take home leftovers. All of it was delicious, cooked to spec, but what really makes them stand out is their superior "wok-hei"; it is the soul of wok-style dishes and compliments to the chef(s) - they absolutely know their craft and it shines in the flavor. This craftsmanship is lost in the new generation and it's a real treat to see it preserved here out of all places. Dumplings were splendid. Juicy and handmade, definitely hits that nostalgic nook from the back of your head. tldr; charming Chinese takeout spot with superb wok-hei in their dishes

We tried both the luosifen soup with beef flank and the dry luosifen noodles with beef brisket so we could compare the two styles, and honestly, both were delicious. The broth had so much flavor, while the dry noodles had a completely different taste and were just as good. We also ordered the Beef Flank Burrito, wonton noodle soup, cold noodles with peanut sauce, crab rangoon, and Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Everything that came to the table was fresh and flavorful. The winter melon tea was a standout for me. I ordered it at 25% sweetness and it was still packed with flavor. I was disappointed they had sold out of the fresh soy milk because I was excited to try it, but now I have an excuse to come back. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and easy to have a conversation in. The service was wonderful, and Yanzi took the time to explain the menu and answer questions about dishes that were new to us.

My friend who isn't typically a fan of thai tea really liked Mae Ornnit's version, because it wasn't that sweet. We also liked the strawberry smoothie! Some of our food favorites were the moo ping with sticky rice as an appetizer. The pork marinade was really good! The crispy chicken with green curry was also delicious. The chicken had a great crisp, and it wasn't an overwhelming amount of green curry. The volcano tom yum dish using Mama instant noodles was a visually stunning dish. It was also tasty, served with a lot of seafood. The Mama cup was repurposed to hold veggies. I kind of wished there were more seasoning or some sauce with the veggies because they were a bit dry, but we mixed it in with the noodles, so no biggie. We devoured the mango sticky rice, that was about $9. We should've ordered 2 of those to share amongst us 4. The mango was perfectly ripe and delicious!!!
