FOOD- shrimp pad thai 4.5/5 + spring roll Pad Thai was good and they did not skimp out on the shrimp! Got plenty of left overs to take home! Recommend 100%! Spring rolls were eh, I don't think I'm the biggest fan but still enjoyed. SERVICE- Sooo good!! She was too sweet and attentive. Helped the table with all our needs AMBIANCE- super small place. Not sure if there's more seating upstairs Would definitely come back!
We've been here at least 5 times. Everything we've tried has tasted so good! Less than a mile from the house, it's our default dinner option when we don't want to go far. Come to think of it, it's raining and Tom Yum soup sounds so good right now!
The place is a quaint location in the heart of the busier part of Occoquan. When we arrived, we were told it would be about a 30 minute wait. I'm glad we did wait because the food was great! In particular, the Pla Tod has the crispiest fish, which comes from the fact that the fish is quite thin. I would say it makes it more crispier at the cost of it being hard to pull apart, but it was well seasoned and you can soften it with the accompanying delicious sweet and sour sauce. The curry itself was also more on the sweet side than spicy side. It came in such a cute little pot/bucket! The spring rolls were also pretty good, but I would skip based on the price.
Getting what you paid for is not a big deal according to this restaurant's manager. He must be rolling in stacks of cash since he thinks that I, as the customer, should literally pay for their mistake! If I could give them 0 stars, I would. Horrible customer service! Stay away!! They messed up a $90+ Grubhub order (by their own admission) that we were charged service fees and a $25 driver tip (approximately $34 total). All the manager was able to do was to refund us for the items we did not receive and disappointedly, I thanked him despite their mistake and hung up, knowing we had paid a Grubhub fee and tipped a driver for delivering Since we paid a service fee and tipped a driver for delivering half of what we ordered, I called back to ask what our options were (such as even ordering the items again and picking the items up myself). He told me the kitchen was already closed and there was nothing more that he could do. I then asked to speak with the manager and he told that that he is the manager. He then ridiculed my tipping saying, "What did you tip, 100%?" Then he said, "What do you want me to do? You're going to make a big deal about this on a Monday night?" I then told him, "F*** you, mother f******," and hung up on him. It is unbelievable to get such rudeness from restaurant management and such poor customer service. Stay away from this place, especially from DoorDash or Grubhub orders. Hopefully the owner will see this and get rid of this guy.
This is my second time here. We had their spring rolls which are delicious and very crispy. My husband had their chicken pad Thai which was a big portion and very flavorful. I had their crispy pork with Chinese broccoli which was a big portion however I wished it had more of the pork. It was very quiet, the server was very attentive and made sure we had water since we decided to eat outside. Over all a great experience.
Charming and quaint, Bann Thai Old Town effortlessly brings color and flavor to evenings out in Historic Occoquan. From the distinct and memorable window design outside to the cozy interior + delicious foods awaiting inside, this Thai restaurant is, no doubt, a special find in Northern Virginia. ‣ QUALITY - Going in without expectations, I was pleasantly surprised that the flavors of every dish we ordered were delightfully on point, making it easy to enjoy our dinner to the fullest. The noteworthy dishes of the night were definitely the Pad Thai and Panang Curry; the ingredients were fresh, flavors were addicting, and portions were filling. In addition, the mango sticky rice was a sweet (but not overly sweet) way to wrap up our dinner with the warm + heavenly sticky rice and fresh + mouthwatering, ripe cut mango with drizzled condensed milk on top (yes, please!). Best bets: - Curry Puffs - Pad Thai with Beef - Panang Curry with Chicken - Mango Sticky Rice ‣ AMBIENCE - Just as it appeared on the outside, it was quite cozy inside as well -- easy to feel at home. The nostalgic tablecloths, warm lighting, soft music, and cute décor added warmth and life to the restaurant. ‣ SAFETY - Staff members were masked, hand sanitizer was available at the end of each table, and the tables were divided and cleaned thoroughly. ‣ SERVICE - Our server was courteous, quick, and welcoming. All in all, an outstanding dining experience at a wonderful place.
Super cute little spot in Old Town Occoquan. Stret parking available in front and around the town. I believe they have an upstairs but the downstairs only has a handful of tables. We were sat fairly quickly and they were very busy. I ordered ginger hot tea, Tom Yum Goong with Shrimp, a side of Steamed noodles, and the spring rolls. I loved the ginger tea! It was really good and I loved the mug that they served it in. It had a great ginger flavor. The Tom Yum Goong was a Bowl of soup, there were a lot of mushrooms and it had 2 shrimp in it. It was good with the side of noodles thay I had. The spring rolls took some time as I think that it may have been forgotten but those were delicious as well. Because they were busy, service was a little slow but I really enjoyed the food and plan to revisit to try other items!
I grabbed takeout for four from Bann Thai and everyone thought their dish was good. I ordered Pad See Ew chicken and it was very good. It had the right amount of sweetness to it and enough broccoli. I would've liked more egg, but the amount included was not a deal breaker. All meals were packed in good to-go containers, perfect for reheating leftovers in. I called ahead and my order for four entrees took about 30 minutes. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The restaurant itself is quite small with only a few tables for dining. Given that parking is also tight in Old Town Occoquan, takeout might be a preferred option.
Cute, small restaurant in Occoquan! Only 4 indoor dining tables, so there may be a small wait if the tables are full. All the food was delicious and the staff was kind and accommodating.

Very small (only about 8 tables indoor to fit 20 persons) Thai restaurant tucked inside a cute little street. We stopped by on our way to Richmond VA. We both ordered the lunch special curries, red curry and green curry. They were both good, but nothing out of what I was expecting. There was only 1 guy serving, taking orders and cleaning up. He was definitely busy running around during this lunch hour. Overall, good spot to stop along the way inside a cute street. read more

Tucked away in the back corners of little Occoquan City, I was so happy with how cute it looked when I first saw the restaurant. Minimal seating available on the outside when the weather is nice; and cute, compact dining area inside, holding a total 9 tables, half mostly 4 tops and half 2 tops. This is my 4th or 5th time back, and each time I've come the food has been AMAZING. But, at every place I go, I want to find THE dish I love...and today was the day that I did for this restaurant. I ordered the ginger honey tea (big cups, & so full of flavor...very much recommend, especially if you're feeling you got the sniffles!) & the red curry with tofu. Idk really what I was expecting, but when I got it I was again giddy with how cute the presentation was (seen in the pictures). I ordered the red curry because it was the least spicy one. I'm a sissy when it comes to spicy sooo... I deff had to add a little bit of water. And it came with a side of rice. I'm a mixer when it comes to eating & food, so you know I mixed all that rice into the dish. It was SOOOOO good. On the menu you'll see what was in the red curry. It was borderline a broth. It was simply phenomenal. I was very happy. And the serving is HUGE. So, I get to enjoy this amazing meal again, for lunch!!! Yay for leftovers. Happy yelping, yelpers. And happy new year!! read more

This place deserves my 5 stars, I adventure there with my GF on a Monday afternoon. Score a Happy Hour with 1/2 price beer and wine,also appetizers. For our main entree we order the fried rice with seafood also spicy shrimp dish with vegetables. (Ka Praw)The food was tasty, warm and cooked with a lot of flavor. The lady on he counter was really sweet and friendly. Definitely will come back!!! read more
My sister and I came here on a Sunday night for dinner and were so happy with our pick! The interior is so cozy and the service was so warm and helpful. The food was excellent, with large portions and very reasonable prices. Our starters especially stood out. We got the spring rolls and the fresh rolls and both were amazing. The fresh rolls were my favorite, actually so fresh and full of flavor and texture. Pad Thai was delish, will def be back! Note: the interior is quite small so odds are you'll be right next to a table with a different party, they also offer some cute outdoors tables if you'd like to avoid any possible awkwardness lol. read more

I stopped in for lunch on a weekday... They weren't busy at all and the service was very personable and helpful. There are many items I loved on a Thai menu and I typically have a very hard time deciding, so I asked the server what to get... she suggested Kra Pow and that's what I went with; with chicken as a protein. I started with spring rolls, as I typically love a god spring rolls. Their order of spring rolls comes 3 to an order, cut in half, so there are 6 pieces and they're a pretty good size! They tasted PERFECT! The sweat dipping sauce was nice, when mixed with the birdseye chilifish sauce!! The Kra Pow was great!! It was prepared perfectly, with lots of Thai basil flavor and very fresh and tender veggies. There was an abundance of chicken in the dish as well and flavors were well-permeated into all items in the dish! The dish wasn't oily at all and had plenty of sauce to help the cup of rice that came with it get soaked up and become even more delicious! The setting is quaint and cute... it's a very small dining room and is perfectly covid-safe as they have partitions in between each table. I really enjoyed this visit and will definitely return... soon!! read more

I've been wanting to try this place. Lunch and a appetizer for 2 people was under $40. The food was very good and the portion was just enough. The crab Rangoon was a little fishery tasting (imitation crab) so I did not care for it maybe a little mor cream cheese would have helped but they were not terrible by any means. There is indoor and outdoor seating we ate at 2 on a Friday and there was plenty of room. Serbia was quick efficient and friendly. read more
It has tasty food, the BEST Thai tea, reasonable pricing, and nice atmosphere. The missing star is due to the clear mixing of cooking oil used for the proteins. I am allergic to shellfish and ordered chicken, but still had a slight reaction. Small warning: If you're going to go, be sure to alert them of your allergies. read more

Everything tasted great and our Server was nice. However the noodle for my pad Thai was all chopped up to a point where we had to use a spoon to eat them. We notified the server and manager? She said it's just the way they cook the noodle which I know that is not true. I've been here before and it wasn't like this.... I am just unhappy about that part but other than that, it was great! read more
Decided to try out Bann Thai and absolutely loved the food and atmosphere at this place. Tucked away in the quaint town of Occoquan, this place serves up some great Thai food. Ordered the green curry with tofu, pad Thai with chicken, crispy pork kapraw, and Thai iced tea. Everything was delicious! The green curry was served in a cute ceramic bucket, had a little bit of spice, and a decent amount of veggies and protein in it. The pad Thai was flavorful and slightly sweet, just the way I like my pad Thai. The crispy pork kapraw was an absolute favorite - the pork belly pieces were super crispy even though it was drenched in sauce. And of course the Thai iced tea was sweet and creamy and was the perfect compliment to the meal. Will definitely come back for more! read more

This place was a hidden gem in Occoquan. We walked right by it the first time because it's tucked in the corner at the end of the street up on a patio. There was one young woman working the front who did everything customer-facing. You will wait a bit because there is only one person working the restaurant, but you will not be disappointed at the food. I was wondering why not many people were in there and was worried that it was an omen of how good the food was, but we saw a steady stream of people constantly walking in for carryout. My go-to dish for thai places is Pad Prik Kraprow. If a thai place can't make this dish, they are not worth going to. The Kraprow here was fantastic. I was worried when they didn't ask me how spicy I wanted it, but it came with a decent amount of spice by default. My date's pad thai was also delicious and the shrimp roll appetizers were so addictive I had to force myself not to order more. Like I said, there is only one person working the whole place so come here with your patient hat on. When she goes upstairs, it sounds like a WWE wrestling match is happening in the upstairs kitchen, but then she comes down with the most amazing and delicious food. Will be back! read more

Great cozy place. We came in on a Friday night and business was steady. Hubby is vegan and had plenty of choices, which is really unusual. I had excellent wonton soup and chicken pad thai, which was pretty ordinary. Service was quick and friendly. They were out of mango, which made me sad, but they did have a custard on sticky rice, which ended up being delicious if you don't mind the texture of custard. The decor is at odds with the food type. When you walk in you would swear you're in a deli. I would recommend but second the earlier review about not being a place for little ones. read more

This place is like a hole in the wall type place, but the lady that owns this place is really nice and friendly and the food is spot on. We had the coconut lemongrass soup with shrimp, really really flavorful, the spring rolls, which were mehh, but the green curry with beef and the Penang curry with chicken we ordered were fantastic, both came with rice. All the food came in good time, we will definitely be back to try out their other dishes, definitely recommend this Thai restaurant. read more

Do the plastic red checkered table cloths throw off the vibe of a Thai restaurant?
I didn't pay them any mind 🤣
Do they take reservations?
I don't think that they do bc of the size of the venue. It's more like on a first come, first serve basis. Hope this is helpful, but I would always encourage anyone to call. Paola, and her daughter are super friendly, and will be more than glad to…
