Took an extended walk a few weeks ago to check this place out before getting groceries, as it's…read moresupposedly some of the best Thai in South Arlington and had to verify that. Was seated by a delightful young lady, and found the decor and layout to be quite pleasing; modest by elegant. As for the fare, it was indeed quite worth the walk. Ordered a bowl of Tom Yum and the Pad Thai Mun Goong. The Tom Yum was solid and quite flavorful, a flux of tangy lemongrass with the oniony sweetness of steeped scallions, and enoki mushrooms to provide some heartiness. The Pad Thai Mun Goong was a chef specialty pad Thai made with stir fried rice noodle, prawns shrimp tomalley oil (a crucial element for this version), egg and bean sprouts, naturally topped with green onions, peanuts and a lime for squeezing, and this also was quite phenomenal. Savory, sweet, a little tingle of sourness from the citrus in the mid-palate, and the juicy, briny shrimp balancing the dense carbs and rich flavorful sauce. All-in-all, I was well pleased this visit. As this is Padaek's second location, I hope they don't expand too much further/quickly and compromise on quality.

I ordered it mild but it still had a nice kick without being too spicy. The wedge fries were also good and paired perfectly with the sandwich.

Overall, a good experience, but there are a few things that could be improved. I ordered the…read moreburrito, which was pretty good but felt a little lacking in flavor. It comes with two dipping sauces, but I think it would benefit from having sauce inside the burrito as well. The ingredients felt a bit dry without it. I also ordered a level 2 spice, which had no heat at all. Next time, I'd probably go with a 3 or 4. As a first-time visitor, I found the menu descriptions pretty lacking, especially when it came to the sauces. The descriptions are literally "signature sauce," "DC inspired," "white sauce," and "Michaels sauce." These descriptions mean nothing. Since you're choosing two, it would be helpful to know the general flavor profiles so you can make an informed decision. Menu and ordering kiosk had no photos of the food. Which seems like a simple improvement considering there are not a lot of food options to include photographs of. My fiancé ordered the chicken and waffles, which he loves, and I thought they were good even though that combination isn't really my thing. The waffle fries were fantastic, although adding them costs a bit much considering they don't come with the meal. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly enough. There was also a frequent alarm going off in the kitchen, which was a little jarring while dining inside. I'd come back and try the sandwich next time. Overall, the food was good, but better menu descriptions and a little more flavor in the burrito would go a long way.

Just one note that I really hope the restaurant sees, because it's been bothering me for a while: the chemical cleaners (maybe Fabuloso?) are on the strong side and linger even in the takeout containers. There's been a lot written about why non-scented disinfectant cleaners are better for restaurant use and I hope they reconsider.

When I arrived to pick up, there was a woman helping hand out orders. I told her my name, she hesitated, looked through order bags on shelf, found a bag and handed it to me. When I got back home and my son opened it up, he discovered it wasn't our order. Even the name on the bag was wrong. The only thing close was the persons name on the order was the same first letter as mine. Ugh, I had already driven an hour to get home and was disappointed in myself for being in a rush since late work day and another hour to get food home, that I didn't at least checking the name on the order - let alone the contents like I normally do. I reluctantly called the store to report I was given the wrong order, afraid it would be difficult to find a way to refund since I wasn't going to drive an hour back to store. As luck would have it, I spoke with Roberto. He was very apologetic and offered to redo my order and I could pick up again in the future. He gave me his number so that I could give him a heads up when it would be convenient to stop by and he would have it ready. Two days later I texted him and he had it ready for my son to pick up when he was in the area again. Was such a relief for it to work out this smoothly to correct a mistake. Although the order pickup was unfortunate - the resolution and accommodation to correct completely minimized the inconvenience. Thank you Roberto! I won't hesitate to order from there again - the food was cooked great!

We have enjoyed this semi-fast casual Thai eatery for their noodle dishes and their teas - however, the noodles have been constantly overcooked, being gummy and overly 'swollen'; the sauces are hardly dressing any of the ingredients. The drinks, in which we usually find refreshing, are super watered down and flavored with artificial syrups, making them undrinkable. We have left tossing multiple items, as they were just inedible. In addition, the space just has this unpleasant sewage-like odor, which isn't great if you plan on dining in. Staff are pretty friendly. No dice, Noodle Box.
