Just pick up food real quick, did't pay attention to any details in the restaurant. I can say only taste of food, just alright, nothing special.
Great Thai food, and friendly service, in a pleasant cozy environment! Still in my quest to find the best Pad See-Ew of Northern Virginia, this one is a top contender. The noodles were soft, with a layer of sauce cooked to crispy-like feel, if this makes sense. I did ask for number one spiciness, it felt like 3-4, but that's only me. I also tried their Garlic Cilantro eggplant, and substituted beef to shrimp; it was a little too salty, and the sauce too thin. I will definitely go back for another Pad See-Ew, and probably try their sticky rice dessert.
Mum Aroi became my top 2 favorite Thai restaurants in the DMV. We stopped by a few minutes after opening on Saturday ready to eat. After perusing through the menu, we noticed the extremely affordable pricing of all the items where most of them were under $20??? In this day and age, that's crazy. STIR-FRIED BABY CLAM WITH CHILI PASTE - 18 This was definitely my favorite dish out of the four. There was a generous amount of clams, each one soaked up a good amount of the rich black bean and garlic sauce, which really elevated their sweet and tender flavors. I even drizzled some of the sauce over the rice that we got on the side. The only issue we encountered was that a few of the clams weren't thoroughly washed, leaving some residual shell fragments. DRUNKEN NOODLE (PAD KEE MAO) - 13 They didn't use much dark soy sauce to add a deeper brown coloring for the drunken noodles, so the color of the dish ended up lighter than what we're used to. However, the flavor was spot on. The basil sauce was lightly spiced from the red chili bits, giving the dish a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The basil added a subtle, earthy note. KHAO NIAOW MOO PING - 12 Each order comes with four long skewers of Thai BBQ pork, accompanied by a tangy sauce on the side and served with sticky rice in a bamboo basket. The moo ping was incredibly juicy, flavorful, and tender. The marinade was on the sweeter side with some umami from the fish sauce. They were perfectly grilled and went well with the sticky rice. Absolutely delicious, this was a close second for me. TOM YUM NOODLES SOUP - 15 Tom yum noodle soup is a classic that we had to get. The noodles were on the softer side and soaked up the savory, sour broth nicely. There was plenty of minced pork, fish balls, and green onions for toppings. While it was good and warmed us up, I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary. The three of us ate until we were stuffed and still had leftovers. After tax and tip, I think we paid less than $25 per person. I would definitely come back to order the stir-fried clams and moo ping again. I also would love to try their boat noodle soup, crispy duck basil, and crispy flounder fish.
Ordered takeout delivery of fried chive dumplings, sun dried beef, and Pad Thai Noodles with shrimp. Chive dumplings were a bit gelatinous. I thought they were ok. But then I put them in the air fryer two days later and they were awesome. I get it now. Dipping sauce was perfect. I would order it again but air fry to crisp it back up. The beef, as other Yelpers noted, was the best. The flavor was incredible. The portion was generous. This is a must get dish. I skipped the sauce and ate them "plain". They are not plain The Pad Thai, the dish all Thai restaurants will be judged, was deemed to be worthy. Very, very good! Packaging was great too. Would order out again but would also like to try this restaurant "in person"!
Ambiance 4.5/5 The inside is very bright from both the natural light from the entrance and all the lighting fixtures around the place. There are a lot of tables with seating on two floors. There is a little bar area with a wide alcohol selection. There are a lot of very interesting Thai decorations that add a lot of color and personality to the restaurant. Service 4/5 The waitress was very nice and attentive. She explained some of the dishes to us. There weren't a lot of people so she checked on us often. The food was brought out hot and quick. Tom Yum Soup - Chicken ($7) 4/5 The soup was nice and sour with a bit of heat, but wasn't too spicy. The chicken and mushrooms were chewy and the green onions and cilantro added a bit of crunch. Really enjoyed this soup and was a nice appetizer before eating my entree. Pad Thai - Chicken ($13) 4/5 The Pad Thai was tasty and filling. The chicken and tofu were firm and chewy. The bean sprouts were so fresh. The crushed peanuts added a nice crunchy texture to the mix. The noodles had a slightly sweet and peanutty flavor and was nice and chewy. Would definitely order this again. Mango Sticky Rice ($7) 3.5/5 The mango sticky rice was a nice treat to finish the meal. It was warm and the rice slightly salty. The coconut cream added some sweetness and gave the rice and mango some creaminess. The mango was a bit too soft for me but still good and sweet. The dish is a little small for the price but still a decent dessert.
Second time here- solid place, food's good. The peanut sauce for the Chicken Satay was delicious. Khao Soi was on the thicker side, highly recommend the Boat Noodles.
Yes yes yes. Brought mom here for her birthday because she loves Thai food and we wanted something close by and the pictures proved our choice right! We chose to order some items to share so we could try more things. The best thing we ordered was the sun dried beef but everything we ordered was super flavorful and tasty. The meats were all tender! You can't go wrong with anything you order here. The restaurant had really cute decor for pictures! Service was quick and we hardly waited anytime after ordering. Forgot to take a picture of the mango and sticky rice because we ate it so fast! If you're in the area, you must stop by - you won't regret it!
We were big fans of Rabieng and found out it was closed early summer. The Thai restaurant is now Mum Aroi, offering similar thai street food dishes. It was great to see that the restaurant was renovated. The lighting, the fixtures, the decorations all look new and modern. Service was awesome. We had a 10 month old and 4 staff came out to help with the high chair - it is a small restaurant and a high chair could occupy most of the hallway. The two waitresses were nice enough to play with my impatient baby. Duck noodle soup was my favorite dish in Rabieng. The broth was great at Mum Aroi, but it was a very small bowl for $15. Fried calamari was subpar, it tasted like microwaved calamari. The catfish salad was tasty but small for the price. Lastly my husband ordered a pineapple fried rice and he thought it was ok. I was still hungry after dinner and we went to the Thai grocery next door. They have a separate to go menu - I ended up ordering a $12 Hainanese chicken to go. After eating that, I felt full. Overall, they have a big menu and the price looks attractive but keep in mind they are relative to the food portion. We will still come again to try out other dishes.
I came here forgetting that Rabieng had closed down recently. I was relieved to see that Mum Aroi, a Thai restaurant, is now located here. The service here is fine, and the staff are friendly and very helpful. It hasn't changed much in atmosphere. I ordered the spring rolls as appetizers, and they tasted fresh and piping hot: the way I like 'em. You receive three. For the entree, I picked the crispy duck basil as one of their specialties. This is a typical favorite whenever I see it on the menu. Crispy? Yes. Basil? Yes. As for spicy, I was expecting medium spicy, but it was more like a light spicy, and yet the duck was crunchy, moist and flavorful I definitely wanted to leave the restaurant with a sweet note/taste. So I got their coconut ice cream with nuts on top. It was a nice ending to the meal experience, although it was a bit smaller than expected. I hope to try more stuff in the future. 3.75 stars out 5 stars
I love coming here for lunch. It looks very small and unassuming outside, but there is plenty of space. In addition to the front dining area, there is some loft space as well. The servers are friendly and always ensure that you are enjoying the food. Lastly, the food is great for a good value. I love Thai food and think this is one of the best in the area. Calamari was sooo crispy. Drunken noodle flavor is what keeps me coming back.
This is the REAL DEAL!! Not overly fishy / not cloyingly sweet / not artificially flavored / not at all oily !! Fresh authentic flavors with wholesome ingredients made with love !! We asked the thai massage place down the street where to go, and I realized I had this saved on my Yelp bookmarks, so it was a thai inspired evening !! The Tom Yum soup / papaya salad / seafood story fry were phenomenal! They made me a skinny margarita that I asked for more sour and spicy vs sweet and it HIT!! I am so impressed that even the cocktail was perfectly balanced. Adorably appointed interior that's cozy and welcoming ! The veggie pad thai was also delicious . The coconut ice cream and thai ice tea ice cream were also shockingly authentic and light - just wonderful!
Amazing experience! The food was incredibly authentic and delicious. Our server was warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel right at home.
Mum Aroi is an absolute hidden gem of a Thai restaurant located in Bailey's Crossroads. The two of us got beef boat noodles, fried chives dumplings, and drunken noodles to share. After we placed our order, they brought out a variety of chili oil/paste (very spicy so be careful!), flakes, and sweet chili sauces. The fried chives dumplings have a crispy surface and bursted with a rich savory flavor - highly recommend this dish for the appetizer! Beef boat noodles came out in a boat shape bowl (very fitting!) and the broth was so tasty. You get to choose from beef or pork for the protein and a variety of different noodles (I got the thin noodles). The drunken noodles, the classic Thai dish, had the perfect amount of sweet and spicy kick. You can choose the protein and we got pork, and it was juicy and tender. Mum Aroi has a pretty big menu with classic Thai dishes and house specials. I can't wait to visit again and try out other dishes!

I got the beef drunken noodle ($16) and Thai tea ($5). The tea was quite good and refreshing on a hot day. The drunken noodles came out in about 10 minutes and was cooked fresh. It could've been more spicer and a little more salty. But because of that it wasn't super oily and greasy like other spot. Staff were very friendly. Overall it was a good experience and I'd come back again! Food(50%): 7.4 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.5/10 read more

I absolutely love it here. This used to be Raibeng. I was a big fan, but throughout the years, Raibeng became tired and lesss tasty. I'm really happy with Mum Aroi's refresh! The food is spectacular, Prices are amazing, and the quality is great too. I've been here about 5 times since they opened, and I've tried their tofu appetizer, chive dumplings, vegetable dumplings, boat noodles, fried fish special, drunken noodles, and Tom yum noodles. The boat noodles have a thick, dark broth and I recommend using the side sauces. I love the Thai iced coffee here too, and service here is incredible! read more
Delicious food. Service here was great. Parking is free and readily available. And food is delicious. My wife still raves. The setting is very comfortable, with very friendly staff. The crispy chive dumplings and homemade dipping sauce were wonderful. My wife absolutely loved her spicy shrimp basil eggplant and my spicy basil fried rice was perfect. read more
Travel and been out of area for awhile, must been longer than we thought as we found our favorite for over 11 years was gone. A new Thai place had replaced one of our favorites. So disappointed, but gave new place a shot with an open mind. Definitely been remodeled & updated, nice & fresh, with new decor. Menu (very nice design) new options, with slightly higher prices. The new one has Beef Boat Noodles, a different look & flavor. It was delicious in it's own way, I finished it all as the picture shows. We started with Calamari, it really was quite good, flavor & crispness was on point. Fried just right with a gold crust served hot. We devoured it. My wife ordered yellow curry chicken, she enjoyed it and was not disappointed. Hard not to compare with the previous Rabeing restaurant, but wife said it held its own. Service was great, friendly and fast- checked on us often - water stayed full and extra rice was no problem. Prices are not crazy, portions do seem smaller than what we were accustomed too, but not terrible. Our past favorite will always be in our hearts & memories, but we look forward to making new ones here over the next 11 years (we hope). We hate change especially with our favorite places- LOL read more

Crab fried rice - yummy and aromatic Spicy shrimp basil eggplant - nice balance of yummy goodness ** everything tasted great! read more

We recently tried this restaurant after finding it through Google. We were amazed by how tasty all of our food was. We had the Khao Soi, which is a hard to find northern Thai dish. It was delicious! In fact it was so good, we devoured it before we got a photo. Something else that was unique to this place is the craft "Thai" beer, which is actually from a local MD brewery. The specialty lager and IPAs both paired well with our food. We will definitely be back! read more

First time here. The restaurant is decorated very nicely. It's clean and bright. I ordered a shrimp and eggplant dish. It was not too spicy and hit the savory flavors well. I wish the serving size was a bit larger. I finished off my lunch with a mango and sweet rice dessert. It was slightly salty and sweet. It was a very nice way to finish my experience. I'd recommend coming here. The selection of dishes isn't overwhelmingly large but there seems to be something for everyone. read more

With this return visit, I brought my brother and the vibe and decor was traditional, unique and comfortable. All the staff members were friendly, attentive and provided a pleasant atmosphere. All of the dishes we order were satisfying and delicious. 1) Sun dried beef served with sriracha and shredded carrots 2) Isaan sausages served with fresh cut julienne ginger, cabbage and roasted peanuts 3) Pad see ew with beef 4) Green curry with chicken and basil 5) Khao niew moo ping 6) Mango sticky rice. Though all dishes were amazing by itself, I used that as a staple by combining the mini buffet we had. I rolled some sticky rice into small bite size dipping it into the broth of the curry while layering my palate with different combinations between the proteins. The pad see ew was different and it's a must. The wok charred on the beef was incredibly delicious. The green curry with Thai spice was on point. The moo ping was so tender and charred feels like home. Overall, it's definitely a place you don't want to miss out on. read more

I got the pad thai with beef which was just okay. It was pretty oily and sour but not much flavor other than that. The vibe was nice but when I finished my meal and about to get the check, I saw the biggest cockroach ever. It was at least half an inch big, so I won't be returning to this restaurant. read more
