SHES KEEPING THE CURRY PUFFS!! Lee found a new helper who has the time to make them with her so she is keeping them ! Continuing to frequent her whenever the mood hits for some solid home made Thai food! Always fresh and always welcoming !

As far as allergies go... this place is the holy grail. Almost everything is gluten free. They make their own rice paper and their own soy sauce. ... that being said, it breaks my heart saying this... but this was some of the worst Asian food we have ever ordered. We got a variety of items and everything was below or just average. Drunken noodles were inedible. Smells like pure celery powder. The noodle texture was good, but the sauce... awful. Peppered beef sauce was thin and runny, lacked flavor and $25... way overpriced. Red curry was ok. Potstickers were not fried, and just doughy so they were super disappointing. Spring rolls were good, but oddly not very filled. We ended up just throwing away the leftovers, cause no one wanted to eat them. And usually we're fighting over leftovers. I would come back, just cause it's not very often you can find a variety of gluten free foods... maybe it was an off day.... Maybe we ordered wrong items, open to suggestions.

Crab fried rice and Pad ginger with chicken
Julie P.

The food here was fantastic and there was a large menu to choose from. Lee's smile and friendly service was 5 stars and she was so helpful with the menu and recommendations! We will definitely be back to try more items!

Mango sticky rice
Arcadia S.

Dreamy ambiance w meditation music playing, lots of green plants and classic art on the walls and comfy seating. Lady who greeted / seated / served us was very friendly and helped me order vegan. The Thai mango sticky rice is a delicate and delicious treat, artfully displayed . Next time we stop in I will order a full meal but this afternoon was just in the mood for a light dessert. YEZ: vegan friendly

Veggie Curry Puffs
Adithi M.

We came to Lee's Thai and had a wonderful experience! We got the drunken noodles, green curry both with tofu and the veggie curry puff. All the dishes were tasty and I liked the curry puff the best. The sauce with the curry puffs was so good! The restaurant was pretty empty for dine in on a Sunday night, but they got a lot of takeout orders while we were there. The food came out pretty quickly and the service was super nice! Would recommend it if you're in the Falls Church area.

Mango Sticky Rice
David H.

Ordered delivery from here and it's a little pricier than some places but it's worth every penny. The Massaman Curry with beef was just right and a large portion with tons of flavor and more carrots and potatoes than most place which gave it a little something extra compared to your run of the mill curry. The fresh veggie rolls are the perfect alternative to egg/spring rolls for those of us who aren't always big fans of fried foods. They're similar to a spring roll but in a non-fried rice paper shell and filled with lots of vegetables. Try them with the garlic tasting dipping sauce and you won't be disappointed. The mango sticky rice was interesting and I'm glad I tried it and enjoyed it but not sure I'd get it regularly. There was a weird glitch about them offering me a $10 off coupon that didn't work so don't expect the coupon to work if you order online. Overal,l it's worth the price and I'll order delivery from here again for sure.

#21 Lunch Special Garlic Fresh Ginger with Chicken
Arne B.

Lee's Thai is a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that should be considered a local Falls Church treasure. The owner is very accommodating to your requests and checked with us to make sure that we were satisfied. Their lunch specials provide good value for the price. I order the #21 Garlic Fresh Ginger with chicken lunch special. It was good and had pungent pieces of ginger in it. They have an extensive list of lunch specials along with their regular menu. A limited, but adequate selection of beer and wine is available along with desserts. I highly recommend Lee's Thai.

Massaman Curry
Michelle C.

My husband and I came here after much debate about which Thai restaurant to go to in the area. Ultimately, the variety is what won us over to check this restaurant out. The restaurant is a quaint, no fuss place. The service was great. Our waitress who I believe owned the restaurant made excellent recommendations and thanked us for supporting her small business. My husband and I had the fried tofu appetizer and for our main entree we had the drunken noodle and massaman curry. All food was delicious. The drunken noodle was the perfect amount of spicy and the massaman curry was spot on. We will definitely be back!

35. Drunken Noodles with Mango Sticky Rice and spring rolls.
Scott W.

First, service is amazing. The server is super friendly and nice. While it doesn't appear to be much on the outside, there's free parking and it's comfortable inside. The food is very good and I love their lunch specials. Wide variety and they fill you up.

Spring rolls
Jp C.

Very good food, service and atmosphere. Parking is shared with other businesses so it's availability varies. Clean, modern inside, with booths and table that seats 10 Each booth features an array of spices to add if you desire more than cooked by the kitchen I had the garden veggie salad but asked for the spices and lime juice used normally for the beef salad - it was fantastic I had the spring rolls but I made a mistake ordering them because they were fried and I intended to order the ones where you see thru them but guess different places in the country call those garden rolls The have a very good menu and a lunch special until 4 pm daily that promises to fill you up and give you a good value for $14.99 I highly recommend this establishment

Nue was the fine dining recommendation, and I have to say it was a great introduction to Vietnamese cuisine. As far as parking, there is a garage within walking distance of the stores and restaurants, so parking was pretty convenient. The restaurant itself was beautifully designed. It was dimly lit, spacious, and had a really nice atmosphere. Our waitress was also very knowledgeable about the menu and offered some great suggestions, which was especially helpful since I wasn't very familiar with Vietnamese food. The menu was pretty expansive, and I have to say some of the cocktail descriptions immediately caught my attention. I tried the Lychee Sunset Fizz, made with Hornitos Blanco Tequila, lychee liqueur and lychee, calamansi, yuzu and grenadine. I tend to go for sweeter drinks so this was a nice balance. For food, the Seafood Chả Giò was one of my favorites. It had wild Gulf shrimp, lump crab, Berkshire pork, taro, carrots and fresh herbs. It definitely seems to be one of their headlining items because it was something I noticed quite a few people ordering, and I can see why. But my absolute favorite was the Snow Crab Fried Rice. It had hand-pulled snow crab, shrimp, shallots, eggs and oyster mushrooms, and it was so flavorful and filling. Honestly, I regretted not ordering another portion to take home because I would have happily eaten it again later. All in all, I would definitely return to Nue to try some of the other items on the menu. I'm definitely not finished with my Vietnamese food journey yet, but this was a really great stop along the way. If the Snow Crab Fried Rice is any indication of what's still waiting for me on the menu, I have plenty more to explore.

Hoang Viet Restaurant can be hard to spot, as it's inside one of the little indoor shopping complexes in the corner of the broader Eden Center complex, right across the street from Happy Lamb Hot Pot. However, if you are lucky enough to find this shop, prepare to be wowed with some of the best and most authentic Hue cooking in the DMV. This no-frills restaurant centers on Central / Northern Vietnam, with a particular focus on Bun Bo Hue, a super flavorful spicy beef and pork noodle soup with a rich, spicy broth and tons of mix-ins. I'm still dreaming about their bun rieu, a beautiful crab and shrimp noodle soup that comes with a generous helping of chewy rice noodles, tender and juicy shrimp, and a deeply flavorful, slightly spicy, and slightly sour and tangy broth made with tomatoes and crab. It comes topped with fresh scallions and green onions, as well as a few fried onions for a bit of crunch. The service is efficient and friendly, and the food comes out incredibly quickly. When you're done eating, you can walk up to the cashier to pay.

Everything we've had has been consistently delicious. One of the best things is that they also offer traditional Vietnamese dishes that aren't necessarily on the regular menu, so definitely ask what else is available! It's a smaller, relatively quiet restaurant and a great place to eat family-style and share dishes. They can accommodate larger groups, but because of the size of the restaurant, I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation. The service is always friendly and fast, and we've had a great experience every time. One of our favorite spots and a place we keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

I really liked the star of anise flavor in their pho soup broth. I loved the eye of round steak, but I did feel they could have been more generous with the meat portion size. The noodles portion was very large and tasty. We ordered extra broth and that turned out to be a good idea. We also ordered shrimp spring rolls that were delicious! The shrimp were huge and tasty. They put sriracha sauce in their peanut sauce, but it wasn't too spicy. Service was very good. The restaurant decor is bright and bold with black lacquer furniture. I would definitely go back for more Pho.

Came on a Saturday afternoon and they were out of most things. No pork, no wontons, like how? These are staple things here but okay. We ordered the combo pho, the duck cotnfiet with egg noodles, the kids pho, and cha gio. Never had such a bland cha gio in my life where all it had was pork and taro? No carrots or mushrooms or seasoning? Pho was seriously skimping on portions and the flavor was bland. My duck was pretty good but we won't be back.

Delicious Vietnamese Food, Beautiful Atmosphere, and Outstanding Service!…read more Three of us visited Present Restaurant, and we all had a wonderful dining experience! We ordered bánh canh (Vietnamese thick noodle soup), bún bò (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), and chicken curry. All three dishes were delicious, and everyone was happy with their meal. What really stood out was the restaurant itself. The dining area is spacious, the decor is beautiful, and the service was outstanding. It's clear that a lot of care goes into creating a welcoming dining experience. The restaurant has been in business for over 20 years, which is impressive! The prices are a little higher than we'd prefer, but considering the delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and excellent service, we felt it was worth it. One small suggestion for improvement: The name "Present Restaurant" doesn't immediately tell people that this is a Vietnamese restaurant. If I had searched Google on my own specifically for Vietnamese food, I might have overlooked it because the name doesn't clearly indicate the cuisine. Highlighting its Vietnamese food more prominently online could help attract more people looking for authentic Vietnamese dishes. Overall, we were very happy with our visit. Delicious food, beautiful surroundings, and fantastic service made this a five-star experience for us. We would happily recommend it to others looking for Vietnamese food in Falls Church!

My personal recommendation: the bun cha Han Noi - it's a cold rice noodle dish with chargrilled pork and meatballs with a mountain of vegetables. The fish sauce is actually sweet and good as a "starter" for Western taste buds because it's less funky than other types. I'd stay away from the coffee because it doesn't seem strong enough.

So I'm updating my review because it's well deserved! I have started ordering from Hai Duong through Uber Eats again in the last year and so much improvement! The food arrives fast, hot, and with very generous portions. They are definitely not stingy like I had experienced in the past. I love it when businesses take feedback to be better. In the last year, we usually order the Mi Nam Vang and Mi Bo Kho, and both are consistently excellent. This past weekend, we finally decided to eat at the restaurant in person at Eden Center, and it was just as good as when we order delivery. The guy seating people was very polite and friendly, and our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Bun Mam and Mi Nam Vang, and both were amazing. Everything tasted fresh and came out super hot, which I love. There are plenty of condiments on the table if needed, but honestly the broth is so flavorful that you do not really need them. They also give a great portion of protein, which I really appreciate. The place was packed and clearly very popular, and I can see why. I will definitely continue to support Hai Duong and hope they get even more business. And I appreciate that they got so much better compared to during COVID times, Great work, Hai Duong!
