The food was delicious while the service and ambiance were exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant.

First time ordering here - WOW! Gonna be hard to pick between Sortrel and Thai by Thai whenever I'm in the mood for Thai food now. Will gladly be a regular at both :) The food was fantastic, and I am definitely a spice head, their hottest level definitely passed the spice test! read more

Absolutely my favorite restaurant, period. Notice I didn't stipulate my favorite "Thai" restaurant, this is simply my 'go-to' location for great food and excellent service. read more

Favorite place in town! Fast service and excellent food. Normally have it twice a week! read more

Sortrel Thai - Chef's fried rice and bacon wrapped scallops - Thai Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Yum! We have never been disappointed with anything we have ordered. We are "take-away" and "dine in" patrons. Always greeted with a pleasant greeting from a smiling employee. There is an evident showing of a desire to please the customer. Food is well prepared, well presented, cooked to correct temperature and dietary wishes, and is always tasty. No "mystery meat" here - chicken and beef are just that. We enjoy everything on the menu from Green, Red and Panang curries, Noodle Dishes and the house specialties. Inside of restaurant is clean and attractive. We consider ourselves fortunate to have this great restaurant near our home. read more

Really tasty Thai food - I'll be coming back here again. I just *had* to try the Pad Thai after a couple of the reviews said it had a bad smell. And I'm happy to report that it's prepared (and tastes) exactly as it should - very tasty. What you smell is the Nam Pla or fish sauce - in which the 'smell' dissipates in a minute or two. Don't worry, it doesn't taste fishy at all. Reasonable prices and quick service - I wasn't a huge fan of the veggie spring rolls - it's a little sad they waste so much grated carrot as a garnish...? read more

Ordered delivery. They advised 45-60 min, arrived in 30. I had the green curry with shrimp and it was really good! Prices are moderate, compared to other local places. Will definitely order again. read more

Sortrel Thai - Thai Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Very good Thai food, good prices and large portions. It doesn't look like much from outside but worth visiting.

Of all the restaurants around sterling, Sortrel has been my favorite restaurant so far. I love the environment there; it's cozy and friendly. The food taste good to me, but not in the level where I'd give a five star. The price is a bit high, but they do put a lot of meat. If you love Asian food, don't forget to try Sortrel. read more

Awesome food. The soup and Pad Thai were excellent. Quick service at lunch! Close to the Dulles airport.

I ordered to go from them and really liked it! It got here before the estimated time frame, which was a good surprise. Their coconut soup was sooo spot on! I really liked their pad thai and red curry. I look forward to try other things here!! read more

Food was alright. Glad we ordered extra rice. I wasn't a fan of the seafood dish. Lots of salt.

Excellent meal, and great service. I went on a quiet Saturday, the only one in the place, and had the firecracker chicken, dumplings, and Thai iced tea. All were excellent, the chicken flavorful without being overwhelming, the dumplings moist yet cohesive (not loose and sloppy), and the iced tea was what it's supposed to be for, to offset the heat in the dishes. Pro tip: Many Thai restaurants seem to serve the same things, especially on their lunch menus. My suggestion is to skip the common entrees and try out some of the specialties particular to that restaurant. Thus the firecracker chicken from Sortrel, instead of the usual drunken noodles, pad thai, etc. And get an appetizer instead of the usual soup and spring roll, okay? Great. Yesterday was my first time going to Sortrel, and there were so many other intriguing options on the menu that I'm sure I'll be back soon. read more

Really good food. We have eaten here quite a few times and enjoyed both dining and take out.

This is one of my favorite delivery options in Sterling. Easy website, reasonable prices, quick delivery, friendly personnel, and fresh fresh food (yes, I said it twice)! I enjoy the Pad Thai with shrimp, the garden salad, and all the amazing appetizers! read more

The restaurant is tucked away in a corner in a nondescript shopping plaza. The restaurant (and the bathroom) was very clean and had a modern decor. The waiter was very friendly. The food was delicious and came out very fast. We ordered Penang curry and Drunken noodle, both with chicken. The Penang curry came with a side of perfectly steamed broccoli. The sauce was flavorful, but not overly salty or spicy. The sliced chicken in the Penang curry was tender and juicy. The Drunken noodle had a nice flavor, and not too greasy (It came with the ground chicken, instead of the sliced chicken). We went during the weekend, but still had the option to order our food with lunch portion and price. The total was under $20. It's a great deal. This is far from us. But if we are in the area, we will definitely stop by for a quick bite. read more

This is definitely a place where you get value for your meal (which is why I've rated 4/5). My favorites from here are the spring rolls, their dipping sauce is yummy (if you like sweet dipping sauces). Also I find myself reordering the Drunken Noodles with beef, it comes with ground meat- spicy, herby delicious! Their pad thai is also full of flavor! However, if you are looking for lots of protein, you may not get what you want. A recent favorite is their tofu appetizer. Deep fried, savory with a similar dipping sauce as the spring rolls with added peanuts in it. You've got to give it a try! read more

I dine here at least once a week because the food quality is always consistent and the customer service is always superb. The only way I'll stop coming here is if I move away from the area. read more

Service: Very friendly, very attentive and all with a smile. Food came out quickly. Food: Well-cooked at comparable prices to other Thai restaurants. Will definitely return if I'm in the Sterling area again! read more

My husband and I eat here almost weekly. The food is delicious. The service is outstanding. Very friendly! My favorite it the drunken noodles. My husband loves the Thai chili basil. The dressing on the salad is outstanding. read more

Best Thai Restaurant in Nova! I'm half Thai and this is real thai food!. Bartenders Ping, Yam and Mint are the best bartenders ever. Best Thai restaurant in Northern Virginia. read more

Have ordered five or six different dishes over a few visits here now and, yeah, it's really darn good. I can't make any one recommendation because everything has been amazing. The veggie pad thai and the panang curry (with seafood, a generous portion for the price) are a couple of my favorites. I'm surprised at how fast they are and how much high-quality, good-tasting food you get for the price. I am NOT a Thai food person really, but places like this are winning me over. read more

One of my favorite Thai places! We regularly crave their spring rolls which are always fresh and delicious. They also make the best chicken satay; the peanut sauce is awesome. We moved 30+ min away but still drive here often because we just can't find a Thai place anywhere near as good as Sortrel. read more

This use to be called 4912 located in front of Regal Cinema. They changed name and moved near Safeway. I eat a lot of Asian including Thai. This place has really great food ! Papaya salad, Tom Yum soups, Drunken noodles, Chicken basil, pad Thai, Eggplant, All so good to name a few... Clean, fast service, opens until late and delicious food. What else do you need ? read more

This appears to be the same owners from the now closed 4912 Thai Restaurants just down the street. The menu is the same, food seems to be the same as well. Pretty decent Thai place with good lunch deals. Their crispy whole fish is very good here as well. read more

Sortrel Thai - Chicken Ka Pow - Lunch Special (comes with salad and choice of soup or spring roll) - Thai Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Can't go wrong with anything on menu. Plus they deliver and always in an amazing fast way. Love the Green curry, Thai basil chicken, firecracker chicken....it's all just so good. Large helpings as well and typically have leftovers for next day lunch. read more

This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. The Mr and I are always wanting the food here. In fact when it's date night, the question is "Sortrel or some other place?" Highly recommend their curries (though I prefer no heat - they can totally spice it up!) and Rama chicken. Pad Thai was good, though dryer than I like. Drunken noodles are spicy! So many great choices, and the lunch special (includes salad and roll) is a great, inexpensive option. Seating is a little crammed. And more than once my husband and I wished for more privacy. Watch out for late night louder groups of people. Full bar. read more

I've been going to Sortrel since back when they used to be known as 4912 Thai and were located around the corner, in front of the Regal Cinema. They used to be my regular haunt whenever I had a craving for Garlic Sauce Chicken. I craved it so much that they started to know me as "That Garlic Sauce Chicken lady." Yeah, I ate there that much. The only reason I don't go as often now is I moved to Ashburn and boy, do I miss it!! Sortrel is seriously the best Thai I've ever had. My favorites by far are the spring rolls, larb, rama chicken, ginger perfect, and of course, the garlic sauce chicken. But what I love most about Sortrel is how accommodating they are. I seriously, seriously love garlic, so I'd always order my garlic sauce chicken with extra sauce and wide rice noodles, turning it into a kind of garlic chicken soup. SO good! The wait staff and chef never complained and were always more than happy to make me happy, which I sincerely appreciate. Their food is always fresh, always made to order, and I especially appreciate that they're extra careful when it comes to patrons like me with food allergies. In all the years I've eaten there, I've never once gotten sick or had an allergic reaction. That's saying something and is a true testament to the quality and cleanliness of their kitchen. If you're looking for top notch Thai food, look no further than Sortrel! read more

Love the food -it's been good and fresh each visit. I can't eat enough of their spring rolls!

This place use to be 4912, the restaurant in front of the Countryside Regal Movie theater. I like this physical location better. When it was in front of the theater, it was a challenge finding a parking spot. It's easier to park where it is now. As far as I can tell, the menu is the same. My favorite is the Pad Thai. I go with either chicken or shrimp, depending on my mood. I also love the Rama Chicken. Even though I love Thai food, I'm not a fan of spicy food. They are happy to do a mild dish. Even when I order these dishes through delivery, the consistency is still there. (I order through eat24, but that is for another review.) read more

LOVE IT!!!! Great food. By far the best lemon grass soup I've had in this area. Fast delivery, good prices and tasty food. read more

The food is average. The people there are very friendly and my family and I mostly do takeout from there. We know one of the girls that works there, her name is Ping. She's Thai and she is welcoming everytime we come in. The smell as soon as you walk in its very appetizing and the soup portions are very small. The food comes out pretty fast though. read more

AMAZING. After reading the reviews about their being the old 4912, I will be going back this week for Chicken Rama! Mmmmm. A lot of good reviews on their Firecracker Chicken, too. The apps here are to die for. Best Chicken Satay (very sweet peanut sauce), unbelievable potstickers & delicious chicken spring rolls. read more

I love this restaurant. Really fresh food, a little pricy but it's so worth it. I always ask for delivery, which they always get here on time. The food is never cold, order is always correct. This the only Thai restaurant that I order from, i been very pleased. read more

Good quality food, especially for Asian takeout. I recommend the chicken spring rolls or drunken noodles. Their spicy meter is very high so if you can't handle spicy food stick with mild, just trust me on this one read more

Solid Thai food!! I order out from this place with my partner all the time and its consistently good! The restaurant is owned by the same people who owned 1901 by the movie theater a few years ago. We usually order take out but the restaurant is very nice inside and the servers are always extremely friendly. Our staple orders are the coconut green curry in all variations (vegetarian and meat), pad thai, garlic chicken, and ginger chicken. All are amazing! We have been to other places in the area and this is by far our favorite. The only downside is that they are slightly more expensive then other restaurants around but they are definitely worth it!!! read more

These guys are the best. Whether dining inside or takeout the food is delivered promptly. The menu is varied and food is very fresh. My favorites are the curry dishes, Drunken Chicken, Firecracker Chicken, chicken fried rice and all the appetizers. They will add or subtract spice according to your taste and always with a smile. Don't hesitate, Yam and Ping will take care of you! read more

Came here for lunch once and was very impressed. Lunch specials are reasonably priced and generously portioned. Had the vegetarian drunken noodles, which was delicious. Plan to return very soon. read more

Dear owner of this Thai restaurant. You are so funny. First, I have the picture and I posted on Yelp so you can see what is in my food, so you did tell me so many times why those hairs in my food 's order. Well, you should know that and don't ask your customer to revise what is true. Ok! read more
