    Ladd Na Moo Mug
    Kevin T.

    I was super happy to have tried this place out. I'm surprised that rating for this place is on the lower side. It's definitely authentic Thai. I had the Ladd Na Moo Mug. The wok flavoring in the noodles was definitely present, the noodles itself were nice and bouncy, and the gravy was really good. They really know how to make the dishes spicy, like actual Thai spice. I would also recommend trying out some of their other dishes rather than the basic dishes that everyone seems to get at every Thai place. Some of the dishes cannot be altered at all and it says it on the menu as well. If you need more spice, you can ask for a spice tray. It's also not hard to do a small taste test of each spice before adding it into your dish to see which one would pair well (this is in reference to another review here lmao).

    Crispy pork and basil
    Kimberly L.

    Great new Thai place for my go-to list. Found this spot based on favorable reviews and it did not disappoint. Started with a Thai iced tea that was smooth and well balanced. Next had the crispy salmon salad with medium spice. This really impressed me as the fish wasn't dry at all to compensate for being fried. The medium spice level was a tad too much but didn't ruin the dish. For an entree we got the crispy basil and pork belly. Blown away! Both the pork and basil had a great crisp and I liked the sautéed onions. Dessert was mango sticky rice. Nice sized portion and cooled off my mouth from the heat of dinner. Overall will try this place again and try new dishes.

    Eternal flame and fried banana

    Still great. We started out with the Thai dumplings and the always-reliable papaya salad. We were comped a neat dish for Valentine's Day: a beautifully presented purple bean paste something with a spicy as heck center. Look, I don't care for bean paste anyhow, so it was never going to win me over... For our mains: The cow soy duck was as delicious as ever, and the crispy basil Tilapia was just perfect.

    Rama - pork with peanut sauce   @davideatsdc
    David H.

    Amazing thai restaurant, serving a large menu including a lot of special dishes you won't find at most other spots around. Dining room is cozy, service is friendly, and food comes pretty quickly. the yum pla dook foo was amazing. delicious, crispy, slightly spicy and funky sauce. great opener. the beef jerky was also nice. pad thai was solid. the rama was the best version I've found in the area, delicious. Can't wait to return and try more dishes

    Food was okay. Not flavorful and all the protein we had was thin and way overcooked. The Rama Long Song and Chicken with coconut rice were served luke warm. I wish they were warmer. We asked for medium spice but it was void of any spice. The $5 spring roll app was 2 of the smallest rolls cut in half. Very disappointing. The side plates we got were also not very clean (there was lint residue). Bathroom was also weird. There was no soap, only a Costco shower gel next to the sink.

    Pad Thai and Penang curry
    Aarti B.

    Disappointing subpar bland food, and doesn't measure up to the glowing rave reviews. The Thai restaurant is tucked in the corner of a small shopping center next to CVS. It was bustling on Sat night at 8pm with nearly every table full when I picked up my carry-out order. The Pad Thai was very dry, bland, sweet, and not fresh. It seemed to be made in a bulk batch and sitting under a heat lamp. The fried tofu was stiff and dense. The Penang Curry was very runny with a spicy kick (I requested mild). While the curry was flavorful and came with steamed tofu and a medley of veggies, I wish there was a stronger peanut flavor. Fun to try, but not a fan. Neisha Thai in Tyson's is my go-to!

    Panang curry with spring rolls and salad. $12 lunch special
    Thomas T.

    Very friendly staff. If you go lunch time they have amazing deals. Can get a meal and side for like $12. I got the Panang Curry that came with spring rolls and salad. Really good curry dish, a lil different type of curry from others as you can see in the pic but I really liked the difference. The spring rolls were really good. When they say spicy they mean it here, for all my spice lovers. I think my bro got the Drunken Noodle and that was really good as well.

    Gang Lay Curry
    Ailun H.

    The food was a 3.5/5, but lowering it to a 3/5 because of pricing & cleanliness (or lack of). There was a fruit fly crawling in my romaine lettuce, so they probably don't wash or take a close look at the food they are serving to others beforehand. The servers are very nice and did a great job accommodating this and were in general very helpful when we were deciding on what to order. My friend and I saw the pictures of the food here and thought it was a lot more authentic than other Thai restaurants we've been to. So we came with a lot of high hopes, ready to order something from their authentic menu. GANG LAY CURRY - 20 This is the slow-cooked pork in curry which comes with sticky rice and some romaine lettuce. The portion size was pretty small, imo. I thought the pork would be a lot more tender, but a lot of pieces were dry and dull. The curry was savory with hints of spice (I thought it would be spicier, tbh) and a tad too oily for my taste. There were also purely fat chunks which I avoided. The sticky rice was also hard to separate and felt old/stale, like they left it in open air for a few hours and neglected it. Overall, not impressed by the quality here. My friend got the COW SOY DUCK and didn't think it was worth 25 since the portions were small. The duck leg was pretty dry and her egg noodles were overcooked. I thought the curry was very coconut-y and flavorful. Other than that, I don't think it was worth what she paid for and using duck instead of chicken definitely upped the price by 5-7 dollars. Overall, not the best experience given the two dishes we ordered. Maybe there's something else here that they're known for?

I wouldn't say the inside gives off a Thai restaurant, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. For starters, we ordered the duck wrap and the papaya salad. The duck wrap was interesting, but not sure if it was in the good way. The wrap tasted buttery, which was a little different than what I have had before, and the duck didn't really taste like duck and there wasn't much of it. The papaya salad was fine, but not the best I have had. It was a little bit spicy. For the main dish, I ordered the hang-over noodle (Khee Mao), which was I think their version of drunken noodles. I thought it was good, but it was definitely too spicy for my liking but that is my bad for not asking for a lower spice level. The noodles had a nice texture. I wouldn't say this is the best Thai place in NOVA, but I thought it was alright.

We got the crunchy rice with sour pork (naem khao thadaeu), pork shoulder (ping), fried catfish (patod), chicken pad thai (kua mee), and warm coconut milky dessert (bua loy). All the dishes were delicious but a bit more salty than Thai. Feels like a lot of fish sauces in all the dishes. The crunchy rice came with lettuce but ours were not the best lettuce. The fried catfish were nicely fried with a perfect coating. Definitely a dish to get. The pork shoulder is another dish to get. Nicely seasoned with sticky rice. Their version of pad thai is uniquely different than Thai. A bit more sweet but the lime makes it better. Wife wanted to try bua loy dessert. It is a warm sweet dessert that balanced out all the salty flavors of the dishes. Something to try as well. Flavor are still the same. The dishes we order were too much for 2 of us. My only complaint was the restaurant smelled like smoke when we walked in. Not the kind where there was a fire in the kitchen but more like someone smoking in the kitchen?
