Always great! We've regularly eaten in or ordered out for years, gotten neighbors hooked on it, and love it. No bad dishes, but plenty of specialities listed on the menu and unique dishes like Seafood Yum. Lovely people who run it, also. read more

We decided to give this place one more try and it was another disappointment. Saturday 8:52pm they said actually their kitchen closes at 9. I pointed out that it's not even 9 and that they advertise open houses til 9:30 but I was met with blank stair. We just left. There is a nice Italian place 5min away where they met us with smiles and left us with pleasant feeling and full stomach. Never going to give SUCKoonthai another try. Service and being pleasant is one of the ingredients of successful restaurant. If it's missing even if you paint your name on plates in gold it won't be good. read more

Yum or nah? YUM! Overall Ratings: Service: 5 Environment: 5 Food Taste: 4 Plating: 5 Budget: 4 We Ordered: -Summer Roll -Pad Thai -Rad Na -Thai Iced Tea -Paradise on Earth Cocktail Overall this restaurant was pretty good! The interior was nicely decorated, the menu was very cute, and they give you a jug of water so you don't have to wait for refills! The summer rolls were very generous in the amount of veggies in the roll, as well as tofu. The only modification I may have liked was having a little bit more sauce, as the roll itself was massive, but this may just be a personal taste, as I like things saucy. The Pad Thai was very savory and flavorful. It was very fresh and came out steaming hot! This was our first time trying Rad Na, and it was quite delicious. The gravy on the noodles was very flavorful and complimented the chicken, noodles, and broccoli excellently. I would recommend adding a little bit of chili flakes or oil just to give it a kick if you like things a little spicy! This dish is a great option for people who like saucier dishes like pad see ew but don't want something quite as sweet-highly recommended! The Thai Iced Tea is definitely worth it here! It comes in a cute little cup, and isn't overly sweet but hits the spot. The Paradise on Earth Cocktail was a really good rum cocktail, but was definitely strong! All in all we did really like this restaurant, and will definitely stop by again if we happen to be in the area and craving Thai food! read more

I was choosing between a few thai options in the area and I am glad I decided this one! I really enjoyed my pad thai and thai ice tea. I ordered online and the process was a breeze. Thai tea was made when I arrived so it didn't get watery. Pad thai had great flavor, good spice and big chicken pieces. The inside of the restaurant is very small, just a warning for bigger groups. For a tuesday night, it was pretty busy inside. I would definitely go back! read more

Excellent Thai! Had lots of Thai in the area that is pretty mediocre and this is officially my favorite spot. Super flavorful and authentic. Best spot! read more

Ate here recently and the food was good. But the server got my order wrong (ordered duck and was given some type of seafood plate). When I pointed this out, the server was visibly annoyed and unapologetic. I then had to wait another 10-15 mins while the rest of my party ate their food. As far as I know, everyone enjoyed the food (including me), but the service is extremely subpar. read more

The drunken noodles and stir fried eggplant with ground chicken were pretty tasty. The server was not very friendly. The restrooms were difficult to get to as you have to walk down the narrow hallway where the kitchen is. read more

We got drunken noodle and kapow. Both with cut meat chicken and beef, respectively. Good amount of sauce and spice. Lunch came with 1 veggie spring roll and salad or soup. Also $1 foundation coke was a deal. Total bill was about $35. Inside is cute and decorated similar to 4 Sisters. Good for meeting an old friend. Staff was friendly and quick. read more

Door dash delivered. We got green chicken curry and shrimp drunken noodles that were great. The spring rolls were the worst I've ever eaten. Do NOT waste your money on these. Flavorless cylindrical nothingness. read more

So far so good. I've eaten here several times and done carry-out many times, but I was satisfied with the food almost every time. Although I don't get a "wow" factor here, the food is consistently good. Tonight we had dinner here and the service was good and the food was quite good except the fried tofu in the pad Thai. Larb gai was really enjoyable with perfect spicy level. Fried calamari was cut differently but okay. I wonder why they don't serve the legs though. I love calamari legs or tentacles. Tofu in pad Thai was a bit dried up. The mango of Mango with Sticky Rive was good sweet mango today. read more

One of the best Thai places in the area! Definitely recommend their crab meat fried rice. So so good.

The service here was great and the food was delicious! The food was flavorful and the pad thai was great and saucy. The portions were quite large so me and my friend were able to split a dish. The restaurant itself is also beautifully decorated inside which made for a nice meal. read more

Sakoonthai - Pad Thai Noodle - Thai Near Me - Clifton, Virginia

In theory they could get a 4 stars but the "eggplant lover" dish today was epic fail. They used to use Asian eggplant which is long and skinny but have now switched to western eggplant which is ginormous. The difference is in the tastes and texture. Asian version is buttery and doesn't have that blandness. Anyhow, they deep fried the eggplant and it's just full of batter with no taste. Other dishes are good as per usual: crab fried rice, green Curry, pad Thai, pad see ewe, mango salad. I'd come back as it's my Togo Thai spot but will not get eggplant again. read more

I have tried their chicken, shrimp and beef and I have to say that their chicken and beef in their dishes is super dry.

We went there twice last week and this week around 12:00 noon during the regular business hour. However, they were closed without any explanation. Two strikes. And I moved on to other Thai restaurants . I suggest call them first before you show up to make sure they are still open for the business . read more

Delicious Thai food but a little out of my budget. I have had really good Thai food and been on a budget. This is really good but out of my budget. The service is great, location is great, and the ambiance is great. Try it out! read more

Are here today after the craft show at the Dulles Expo Center and it was pretty good. The curry was really creamy, sweet and the veggies were nice and soft. The shrimp appetizer order as well as nice and fresh with a really good crunch. The dip with it was very tasty. If I was closer I would deff be back more. read more

We came for dinner on the patio. The service was attentive. I had the drunken noodles and hubby had the pad ka prow. The drunken noodles were decent, the noodles were the best part. I do not recommend the ka prow, however. The chef uses too much dark soy sauce I think. It's too sweet and the flavor is off. We also ordered the papaya salad which was impressively spicy but needed a little more dried shrimp flavor. read more

Food is excellent with a lot of choices! Small place with good service! Limited seating;in a small shopping center ; read more

Stumbled this place on Yelp. My gf and I decided to try it out since she was craving Thai food. The place is pretty small and has a indoor and outdoor sitting. The interior reminds me of Sister's Thai which was cute. The service was good, they were very attentive. The food was good and we both got the lunch special. The lunch special came with two appetizer and a entree. I got Tom Yum and Springroll and she got Tom Yum and Papaya salad. Both were extremely good. Really like the springroll with sweet and chili sauce. She got drunken noodles with beef and I got pad thai with pork. I tried some of her beef drunken noodle and the beef was chewie. Not tender. Same with the pork. It was dry. That's the only con about our experience but overall the flavor was there. The thai ice tea was good too. I would recommend this place to those who love/like Thai food! read more

Sakoonthai - Pork Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Clifton, Virginia

This place has been on my radar and no further delay, I got some takeouts from here this weekend. I got 2 dishes: spicy basil ka prow (stir fry of chicken and veggies) and garlic pepper perfect with chicken. The staff seemed friendly when I placed my order on the phone and picked up my food. The food was good, but it's not the best Thai food I have had so far. The ka prow had a spicy kick but it was not too overwhelming. The garlic pepper chicken was okay, as it could've had more flavor. The portions of both dishes seem fair with the price that they charge. The restaurant was small but it was cute, especially for a date. Also, there are plenty of parking spots near the restaurant. read more

I have ordered here twice now, Its actually so very close to where I am currently staying. I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT Too! So far everything I've ordered has been more than delicious... From the Tom Ka Soup a favorite of mine sometimes I get extra white rice and shrimp and add it in.....yummy.... , Chicken Satay very tender and nice meaty pieces and lots of peanut sauce too! Duck Curry and the Panang Curry these two dishes were fantastic if you like duck and peanut sauce.... Never get enough of those.... Basil Fried Rice is very flavorful highly recommended, Sticky Rice with Sweet Mango interesting combo wasn't what I was thinking, but delicious all the same, Piping hot, generous portions too. Very friendly when delivering as well when taking my phone order I always have leftovers and they taste just as good as the first time !!! Looking forward to it soon !! read more

Walking distance from my house.. just absolutely solid, from the basic Drunken Noodles to the Whole Fish. The staff is so friendly. Not too many seats so be patient. read more

Delicious seafood special and drunken noodle. Both served spicy with good flavor. Friendly and fast service with dishes served quickly

I never really liked Thai food. I've tried and tried and it just wasn't my thing. This place changed my mind and honestly, this is the only place I prefer over Sister Thai and any other Thai restaurants. Love: - Thai tea - crabmeat fried rice - honey shrimp: so delicious, savory sweet dish - stir fried eggplant: it's spicy, but the flavor is perfect with the shrimp entree and crab meat fried rice combo - yellow curry: love the turmeric flavor with potatoes! Location: Its nestled between Starbucks and Rosemary Thyme (which is alright). Inside: it's such a cute and quaint place. Like a small cafe ish feel, with eclectic elegance feel of the indoor dining area. read more

Cute very small (but cozy) restaurant. Definitely not recommend for large groups as it's small in there. Food is fresh and yum! Lunch special is a great deal and service is quick and efficient- perfect for a weekday lunch. Ordered the fried rice, drunken noodle, and green curry. All three delicious and filling. Green curry was slightly spicy and very creamy/savory. Drunken noodle which we got at level 3 spice was very spicy but totally worth the heat- they use Thai peppers inside the dish along with spice in the sauce which brings this spice level dangerously high! We even asked for the spice rack on the side (variety of spice sauce you can use to even further make it spicy). Definitely one of the best Thai I've had around this area. read more

Been here twice with my girl, and both visits seem to indicate that, while not by miles ahead, Sakoonthai has become my favorite Thai restaurant in the DMV area. Restaurant is tiny, with limited space indoors. We opted to sit outside for safety and to have space to ourselves (approximately three outdoor tables). The decor is super cute, both in and out. Service was also very friendly and immediate. Food is amazing, simply put. My girl's favorite is the beef salad, and if you never had a thai salad before, I would highly recommend - it's a flavor that's difficult to describe, spicy and citrusy? We've also had the Calamari, Special Duck, Drunken Noodles, Coconut Shrimp. While all great, I rate the Duck especially high, as I have never seen duck fried before - it was absolutely delicious, flavorful without the greasiness that is often associated with duck. Food and Service both excellent. read more

UPDATED Review: I'm updating because my last review was about a year ago, and it was very brief. Sakoonthai is definitely a 4.5-5 out of 5. Yes, it is a bit small; however, it gives a comfy and cozy feel and the interior design is beautiful. They also decorated very elegantly for December. You might want to make a reservation if you are going during prime lunch/dinner times; however, I usually go after/before the rush so I usually can get a table. The food is fantastic! AND the prices are pretty decent as well! They give you good sized portions for the noodle dishes! I've had tha pad thai, drunken noodles, papaya salad, and spicy basil/ka pow. All good. I recommend getting the papaya salad to help cleanse the palate--and if you want something refreshing while eating the entrees/noodles! I've only tried the chicken as my choice of meat-but hope to try the others in the near future (entrees and noodles with chicken are only $10.95). I would DEFINITELY recommend! and I will be coming back! Also, the staff is nice and attentive! Especially the man with the glasses, who I assume to be the owner? read more

I've found my new go-to Thai spot in the area! I've dined here prior to the COVID pandemic but have ordered delivery countless times because 1) it hits all of my Thai food cravings and 2) support local businesses! Sakoonthai's menu is considerably large and has all of the classic Thai dishes. My favorite dishes are the steamed mussel lover (the spicy chili sauce is amazing), red curry, pattaya seafood (stir fried seafood in red curry sauce) and crabmeat fried rice (which has always come with a generous heaping of crabmeat!). The price point is fair and the portions are filling. The restaurant itself is cozy with super cute decor. Reservations are highly recommended or else you may have to wait. The service was friendly when I dined in, and I've had no issues with delivery since we began practicing social distancing. read more

Super cute little place. The food was tasty and the decor a bit glam with the velvet upholstery. The Thai tea is tasty and the glassware is a mini pitcher. We got the pad thai, Tom kha soup with tofu, Satay chicken, crunchy egg rolls, mass.curry. Service is nice and they have a small outside dining area. A cute little hidden gem in a strip mall. read more

Sakoonthai - Drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Clifton, Virginia

Despite this COVID pandemic, supporting local businesses has always been a must! Sakoonthai has provided its quality food and friendly service to my family for 10+ years, despite them moving to a smaller location from the previous in the Costco plaza area. I just wanted to S/O to the owners and say thank you for bringing Thai food into the community. Their pad thai is never dry and never too over seasoned, tamarind is one of my favorite things to taste in pad thai! The amount and servings during their lunch specials (before COVID hit) were oh so generous! Drunken noodle is a must here, just get it, it's not spicy and it's not salty, oily, or buttery. If you don't like chicken/beef/pork or veggies, then boot yourself mate. ALSO, get Pad woon sen, it's glass noodles with a bunch of veggies and meat in it. I can't describe the flavor besides not sweet, salty, or bland; its perfect! The Papaya salad has a kick to it, but its a gentle kick in my opinion. Thai fried rice is so different from dolsot bibimbap (Korean rice dish). Thai rice is a smaller hardier grain, anyhow, I request this to be spicy! I enjoy the birds eye pepper they throw in, I add more Thai pepper when I get home cause I'm a maniac for heat. No photos because I ordered this for my family and no phones at the table, along with go try this place out! It's a must! read more

My friend and I got Thai food delivered from Sakoonthai during the pandemic. The dishes were pretty tasty and quickly delivered! The best dish was the mango sticky rice. The dish with the prettiest presentation was the summer rolls (but they had too much lettuce for my taste). The Massamam curry had nice flavor, but I thought the crab fried rice was bland. Also, the chive dumplings were greasy and didn't have much flavor except for the side sauce, which I mostly used to liven up the crab fried rice. Bottom line: I would visit this restaurant in person once we've stopped social distancing practices. read more

Authentic Thai food that is amazing exploding with flavours!!!! Excellent service! You will keep going back!!!

Delicious and cozy I love the food, especially the tom yum soup and pad thai! Good service too

I've always wanted to try this place out but finally, it happened! I LOVE Thai food. I like how every Thai restaurant has European themed interior with bar. I stepped in to get an early dinner. Small but good enough to take a group. Staffs are super super attentive and nice. As always, very cozy seating. Green velvet chairs and white wood tables. The wines, eclectic decors, different lamps, the chandelier, the mirror, and the lights were creating a cute and romantic ambiance. Even their menu is in a shape of their logo, adorable :3 Anyway, their dishes were the most seasoned ones compared to the ones that I've been to. Food is still delicious though! The portion is a quite a lot so if you're a small eater, make sure to share it with someone. Thai lovers must come! read more

Decided to come here for lunch with my boyfriend. Their lunch special came with 2 appetizers and 1 entree that are both a good portion for the price. I got the papaya salad and the veggie spring roll. And my boyfriend got the Tom yum soup and veggie spring roll. I would say my favorite out of the two was the papaya salad, it was savory and spicy and refreshing! Probably the best Papaya salad I've had in a long time. My boyfriends favorite was the tom yum soup. For our entrees we got pad Thai and pad see ew. I would say out of the two the pad Thai was the star of the show. The pad see ew had more of a Smokey flavor compared to other Thai places in the area which we both didn't expect. Overall, we would definitely come back for the papaya salad and pad Thai read more
