Vegetable Hang-Over Noodle (Khee Mao)
Kelci M.

Everything is delicious! I can't believe I forgot to order dessert. Chicken Satay: 10/10 grilled to perfection it also comes with 2 dipping sauces. One is a peanut sauce and the other is a sweet, tangy and refreshing sauce. Hangover Noodle Khee Mao: 8/10. I ordered mild and it was medium hot but I fought through the pain. Panang Curry: 9/10 probably the best Panang Curry I've had in DC. You won't reject it!

Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Tea Lychee

This is my second time dining in and it's been pleasant both times. The food here is delicious if you're looking for Thai food with quick service. The aestheic inside is cute and the customer service is great. The servers are pleasant and PLEASE GET THE MANGO STICKY RICE! Also highly recommend tbejr Thai Iced Tea Lychee.

Thai Iced Coffee & Thai Margarita
Jens J.

Best dish on our first visit here was the duck rolls. I've never been much of a fan of duck meat, but these rolls were really good. I'd order them again. Soul Thai's interior is warm and inviting with rich wood and faux hanging plants. Service was great, our servers were smiling and welcoming. Our other appetizer was the fried calamari rings. These were fresh and hot and came with a sweet dipping sauce and a spicy dipping sauce. The Massaman Beef Curry was pretty good. Though it tasted great, some, but not all of the beef pieces were tough. The Khao Soi was very good. A little bit of the chicken was refrigerator cool, but it wasn't worth it to me to send it back. The sauce was great and I liked all the crispy fried noodles in the dish. I think that Soul Thai could cut the size of this entrée down a bit. It really is a hefty helping. JP ordered a Thai margarita. This creamy concoction was delicious. Loved the light sprinkles of dried lime and salt on the glass rim. Unfortunately, this drink is a special and will be only available this month. Soul Thai should consider making this cocktail a full time cast member. I also ordered the Thai Iced Coffee, which was excellent.

Soul Thai Kitchen & Bar, located at Dominion Hills Centre on Wilson Blvd in Arlington, offers authentic, flavorful Thai cuisine in a welcoming setting with hanging pots and modern lighting. Its cozy atmosphere, and popular dishes such as Grilled Squid, Drunken Noodles, Panang Curry, Soft-Shell Crab, and authentic Thai desserts like Mango with Pandan sticky rice and Coconut Custard with sweet sticky rice have made it a favorite in the neighborhood.

Fried tofu appetizer, very tasty, fresh, not overly fried. This and a soup were enough to be a meal.
Emily S.

This is a nice neighborhood spot. This is a weird observation but something that impressed me is that they had all these hanging faux florals everywhere and normally those are huge dust collectors but these were completely dust free so they must be really on top of cleaning. I will say that we were sat at an odd table - they have three booths that share a wall with the kitchen and the wall has this open trellis work that goes straight through so all the kitchen noises, smells (including like soap smells) and anything venting came thru to our table like we were sitting in the kitchen and not in a good, chef's table way. We couldn't hear each other and asked to move so then they put us in this semi-private room off the main room by ourselves. I do not understand that design choice. As a result of being in the separate room I think service suffered a little. My other caveat is that this wasn't the most veg friendly menu for a Thai place (I'm pescatarian) Some of my favorite dishes, like massamun curry, automatically came with meat rather than a choice of protein, and the house specials were exclusively meaty. There were some other customizable options- curries and noodle dishes. But more limited than some other Thai places. I had had a big snack before we went and we also ordered appetizers so I ended up ordering a tom kha shrimp soup and a fried tofu appetizer. Honestly? This was really really satisfying and I couldn't finish so I would seriously consider that same combo if I came back again in a hungrier state. It is hard to believe that fried tofu can vary that much but this was especially good - fresh with good texture and am ample portion. Same goes for my soup. Really tasty and a nice portions for the price. My husband ordered a flat noodle dish that was similar to drunken noodles but slightly different and he enjoyed it and enjoyed that it offered some variety. We also got a papaya salad appetizer that was solid and not painfully spicy like in some places. Our grilled squid appetizer was lackluster - not bad, just not especially tender or flavorful - and that is the one thing I would recommend passing on. All in all I would come back here next time we are craving Thai because the food is good and portions are ample for the price. However, I might consider other places instead depending on the dish and/or vibe I am seeking.

We've come here twice, for my dad's birthday and my grandma's birthday. The space is cozy with cute and whimsical decor. I especially like the floral decorations hanging from the ceiling and the walls. The servers were very friendly and the food and drinks came out fast. My family is usually pretty picky since they usually only eat Vietnamese food but they like this spot enough to come back twice :) We're especially fans of the Tom Yum and Tom Kha, and the noodles are flavorful but not heavy or greasy. On both occasions they gave us free desserts, which is always appreciated. Definitely planning to keep this as one of my go-to Thai places!

Tram A.

Food was amazing!!! Our family had a great time at this restaurant. We ordered the grilled octopus and it was the highlight of the dinner! We have been searching for a good place and we're delighted that we finally found it. We also ordered other dishes and they were yummy. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the nice breeze. Staff were very nice and friendly! Highly recommend if you are in town.

Panang Curry

Highly recommend! Came here for a birthday dinner and they did a phenomenal job taking care of us! Food was delicious and generous servings for the price. The employees were all very kind and helpful. Inside decor is SO cute I loved the vibe of it all. Good amount of seating

This place is really cute. Not only is it cute but the food omg was ohhh sooo good. I had the pad Thai add shrimp and Chinese broccoli. I could have ate with or with out the shrimp it was that good. W ki had the crispy pork appetizer sooo good and I usually won't get pork. Steak salad for something different and refreshing. Not only were the drinks put together well they tasted amazing. My sangria soooooo good an it had vodka in it and I'm not. Vodka girly but this was soooo good! We ate outside and it was so nice out The inside is beautifully put together and decorated. Customer service as very good. We had a great experience here and I hope to have many more as I try more dishes.

Green Curry with Chicken.... It's to die for!
Syed K.

Probably the Best Thai food I have had!! The place is so cute with all kinds of decorations, plants, words of wisdom and paintings and the greeters are so welcoming. We were a party of 6 so we called ahead for reservations. When we arrived our table was already set and we were seated in a private section of the restaurant. For appetizers we ordered Calamari and Spring rolls, which arrived pretty promptly. For our main course everyone ordered their own but I got the green curry with chicken and my daughter got the drunken noodles with chicken. Even after the first bite, I could tell this food was special and really enjoyed the meal. Since no one was sharing, the only dibs I made were at my daughters dish who was sitting next to me, so got to experience the drunken noodles as well. The portions are huge and though we were in no mood of sharing, none of us could finish their meals and we made the remaining to go. We had a nice chat at the front desk too, and I encouraged them to open a spot in Fairfield County, CT. So if they end up opening one, you all know who to thank!!

Tofu Pad Thai and Panang Curry with Tofu. Curry is good with spicy kick.
Aarti B.

Delicious Thai food! The Pad Thai was flavorful and cooked well and not dry or greasy, even my 5 year old picky daughter enjoyed it. The Panang Curry had a spicy kick. The tofu was a bit stiff and would just get the veggies without the tofu next time.

Fried rice with chicken
Ashley C.

My family and I had a great dining experience here at last weekend! We randomly found it on Google Maps as we were visiting the nearby rose garden. The restaurant is new, and just opened one year ago. Parking was easy out in front. It was great weather, so we sat outside. It was a beautiful outdoor eating space and very pleasant. Service was very fast and friendly. We ordered the fried rice with chicken and a drunken noodle with chicken. Both were excellent and a good portion size. Price was good. The inside decor is very nice also. I would love to come here again!

Lychee Thai Tea
Rumesh V.

My friend and I decided to try this place for lunch today. The menu had a lot of my favorites. I love Thai food. For drinks I ordered lychee ice tea. It's not something I find in other Thai restaurants. I love lychee flavor so I went with it. The drink was very flavorful. On the sweeter side and loved the lychee flavor. They actually give you a small piece of lychee fruit. 5/5 for drink. For the entree, I ordered the massamam curry. 3/5 for the entree. One of the main reasons being it had lots of raw onions and big chucks of unflavored potatoes. Looked like they forgot to cook the curry with potatoes and onions and added it later just before serving. The curry and beef were delicious though. I wish it tasted like the traditional curry. The service was great. Ambiance was great as well. Parking was easy to find.

Chicken thighs | Seating | Service…read more Chicken Thighs - The chicken thighs are surprisingly filling. Each order comes as one large deboned piece of meat, which is then cut into bite-sized pieces--easy to eat by hand or with a fork. They're available in a variety of flavors. I ordered them dry and got several sauces on the side to mix things up. Highly recommend. Seating - The restaurant has a surprising amount of seating. There's just as much indoor seating as there is outdoor, and possibly even more inside thanks to the bar and high-top tables. It's a great spot to start your night, end your night, or enjoy happy hour with friends after work. Service - For a bar, I thought the service was really good. Multiple waiters checked in on us, and we never had to wait for water or anything else. The recommendations they gave were great, and they stayed attentive throughout the night--even though it was moderately busy when we went. Pro tip: Be prepared to sit inside if you're hoping for a meaningful conversation--the street noise outside is quite loud. Between the main thoroughfare and the neighboring restaurants in the same alcove, it can get pretty noisy. If you value good conversation, you'll definitely want to opt for indoor seating. Pro tip: There isn't much parking in the area, so give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes when planning your visit.

The bar tender was very helpful and friendly and let us sample some of the options. The pineapple mango sour was ok, but more of a fruit cocktail than a beer.

The process from start to finish was easy and everyone I spoke to was so kind. I received advice on the menu and the best way to do the drinks. On the day of the event, I confirmed the details and we showed up ten minutes ahead of time to add some personal decorations. We had the slider package, mac and cheese, onion rings, artichoke dip, and baked potatoes. Everyone raved about the sliders (my dad's personal favorite was the reuben one - he had four). My mom, an onion ring fan, was very happy. There were only good things to say about the food. The bartenders were extremely attentive to the party and there was never a build up at the bar. They offered a cake hold. They brought it out when asked, had the candles lit, then whisked it back to cut it and bring it back out. If you need a lot of hand-holding, having all the perfect touches or a million options to pick from, or 'event planning' kind of help, this may not be your place. But if you want to have a chill, fun evening with lots of wonderful food and good drinks, great service, and a fun atmosphere, I would recommend Four Provinces.

If you are looking for a spot that actually functions as a community hub rather than just a place…read moreto grab a caffeine fix, Northside Social in Falls Church is the standard. It has become the definitive home base for several of my local groups, and for good reason. The "No Agenda - Just Coffee" Crowd Since October 2025, this has been the quarterly meeting point for a group I help organize (2 entire meetings so far!). We bring together a mix of IT-centric CxOs, startup founders, innovators, govtech, thought leaders, and industry insiders. The beauty of the space is that it handles the "no structure, no rules" vibe perfectly. We show up, grab pastries, and just hang out. It's a low-key break from the grind, and the staff handles the morning rush with impressive efficiency. The Sunday Morning Tactical Post-Game Every Sunday at 6:30am, Northside serves as the rally point for our F3 The Capital workout group. We split up--ruckers head one way, runners another--and we all converge back at the shop by 7:30am. There is nothing quite like hitting the patio after a solid session for coffee, tea, and a high-quality breakfast. The Menu and My Personal "Hack" I've been significantly more health-conscious this year, so I generally keep the order lean. My go-to is a standard drip or an Americano with exactly one pump of vanilla. If you are looking for a meal, the avocado toast and poached egg sandwiches are objectively excellent. However, if you want the best thing on the menu, order the cheddar chive scone and ask them to heat it in the oven. It is a game-changer. The Vibe It has a genuine neighborhood feel. You'll see a broad spectrum of people--from tech folks on laptops to workout groups and families. It even transitions into a great bar scene in the evenings. It's consistent, high-quality, and remains my top recommendation in Falls Church.

While a scramble sounds simple on paper, it is easy to overcook the vegetables. This one was executed perfectly, with every vegetable done just right. The thin-sliced potatoes were highly seasoned and stood out, moving away from the standard, heavy breakfast spuds you get at most places. The presentation across the board was excellent. The latte arrived with a nice touch--a small side cookie and a club soda to cleanse the palate, which shows a level of intentionality you don't always find. The staff members were incredibly friendly and gracious from start to finish. With fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable environment, it is an ideal spot to get some quality laptop time.

We were told we could sit at the bar or outside, but when we asked for one of the open tables, we were denied because they were "reserved for parties of three." That just doesn't make sense. We're still paying customers, ready to order food and drinks. Denying service like that--especially with empty tables in plain sight--feels unnecessary and rigid. I even asked twice, hoping for a little flexibility, but the answer didn't change. I work in the service industry, and this is exactly the kind of situation where you make an exception or use some common sense. Instead, it felt like policy over hospitality. Really disappointing experience for a place I was excited to try.
