A cute little restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. Good options for vegetarians. The ambiance is fun. We would definitely recommend and return. They have a solid carry out business.

Immediately greeted upon entering. Open, minimally decorated restaurant, in a good way. Light colors and natural light..tranquil, soft Thai music playing in the background. I ordered take-away, shrimp bikinis and spring rolls. Everything was hot and crispy but the flavors were just blah. Not good, not bad. The best part was the interior of the restaurant and the homemade sweet and sour sauce which came with both appetizers.

Pad thai

Total hidden gem. Nice decor. I got Pad Thai, which had great sauce and texture. I would have ventured for something spicier, but I burned my mouth yesterday. My one request, brown rice?

Very cute and quiet ambiance with great customer service. The food was AMAZING! I ordered the samosas, tofu green curry and a non-alcoholic shirley temple. I literally went back 2 days later!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I ran in here for a quick lunch. I wanted my favorite soup Tom Kha, and it did not disappoint! 10/10 I got the veggie version. No notes. Perfect! The crab Rangoon was a 0/10. No flavor at all even the sweet and sour wasn't tasty. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food came out SUPER quick which I appreciated because I was in a time crunch. I would've ordered more if I had more time but those were two things I love and know the come out very quickly I maybe waited 5 minutes max!

This place will always hit! I love it so much. Came here with a friend to catch up and they are always just so friendly and inviting. And the food never misses. This time around, I had to get the Tom Kha and I got some pad Thai. I love how they have specials that change with the season. My friend enjoyed her meal as well.

This place is so tasty! Took my dude here for a birthday lunch and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Service was super nice, the restaurant is so cute. The parking lot is a hazard so be careful. Get the mango sticky rice - they cook the rice with pandan!

Thai Lemon has been on my list of local places to try. As soon as you walk in you are instantly greeted and you feel like you have walked into a friends house for a delicious meal. The decor is nice and welcoming. There is a beautiful backdrop with the restaurants name. Thai Lemon offers lunch until. 3:00. Which is an appetizer and one entree. I ended up ordering off of the regular menu. The crab wontons were perfectly crispy and the there was plenty of filling on the inside. I ordered the panang chicken as my entree which was served with a side of rice. The curry was flavorful and did not pack a lot of heat which I appreciated. The portion was enough for me to have some leftovers which is always a plus for me.

Mango sticky rice

Yum! It's not often a place has great flavor in every dish, but this place knocked it out of the park. We started with Num Tom Beef (wow), then had mains of basil fried rice and Penang curry, and finished mango sticky rice . The service and ambiance were lovely and we're definitely going to be repeat customers!

This restaurant is super cute, tucked away in the van dorn shopping plaza. It's impossible to see from the road so I missed it for a whole year after moving here! I was really intrigued hearing about the ambiance and the rave reviews and finally got to try it for myself with takeout. When I came in, I felt like I was entering someone's home, it was so cozy and I was greeted by a very kind woman with a smile. I ordered the chefs special shrimp clay pot, the chicken karipuffs, and the fish cakes. The clay pot was very good and a bonus is that the tails were cut off! Next time I might order it without spice as it seemed like it was just sprinkled with crushed red pepper and seemed to take away the true flavor of the dish. Regardless it was still great. The karipuffs and fish cakes were delicious especially with the tasty cucumber sauce they came with. I might be dreaming of those karipuffs for a while now. I'm excited to dine in next time and try more of the menu!

The restaurant is a small quaint place with plenty if parking. The restaurant is very well decorated in Alexandria Van Dorn St. Each plate we order is large (more than plenty for 2 people.) We came on a Tuesday night before Xmas. We ordered the crispy fish, green curry and Mango sticky rice for dessert. The meal was excellent and came quickly. Total bill $57.67 not including tip. We will definitely return again.

Got to this place and was first very happy with the parking situation. No parallel parking needed, small parking but it's a parking lot! Walked in and got greet right away by staff. We had a party of six and ordered so many different types of food. After we place the order, everything comes out fairly fast so I would rate service to be amazing. The restaurant is small but very roomy and cozy. Food ratings in my opinion: 1. Fried chicken wings: crispy, seasoned, perfect. Comes with chili sauce 2. Gyoza tasted home made and different. Crispy. 3. Pad see yew: Noodles and protein was perfectly seasoned, tasted perfect with the jalapeno 4. Pad Thai: A bit smaller portion than other thai places but was seasoned well. 5. Massamun Curry: Interesting taste and delicious with rice. Not my fav but it's everyone at the table's favorite. 6. Whole fried fish: The star of the show!!!! I love this dish and so does everyone else. Super crispy, sauce that comes with it was amazingly seasonsed. Price is reasonable. 7. drunken Noodles: yum! Always one of our go to dish at thai restaurant! 8. Fried tofu: Crispy, not enough sauce but still really good! 9. Papaya salad: Not my fav as it seems to be missing a little sour but still good. 10. Banana roti: MY FAV. It's soft on the outside and inside. Perfect amount of chocolate sauce and condense milk. I would be able to eat the dish by myself. 11. Fried banana and vanilla ice cream: fried banana egg rolls are crispy and so good witth ice cream. but nothing special 12. Mango sticky rice: I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to bring 5 of these dishes home because whyyy is it so good! The sticky rice is moist, soft and perfect with the mango. Lots of mango and rice but i should have bought one to bring home because the taste is amazing! My favorite thai restaurants mango sticky rice! Over all, with 12 dishes later, between the 6 of us, the price total was $187 which is not bad at all for alexandria area. If I'm ever in the area, i would love to come here again!

First time going here. I ordered the Phoenix Bahn Mi. I enjoyed it very much…read more I am attaching an image of the current menu.

We came to Caphe on the recommendation of some friends, but left disappointed…read more Some of the good at Caphe: the crispy roll is indeed excellent and the vermicelli fine. However, the young male staff is rather rude and indifferent. First, off there is a Wi-Fi available "Caphe Guest" (see photo). I asked one staffer what the password was, because Caphe is in one of those sections of Old Town where wireless access, like Verizon, is notoriously poor. The guy gave me some garbled answer and walked away. Alrighty, so I asked another staffer and he said he didn't know what the password was and walked away. That leads up to my order of chicken pho. I asked for no cilantro and that same waiter repeated my request for no cilantro. But when the pho was brought to my table, the green in the pho looked suspiciously like cilantro. I asked the waiter about it. He looked at the pho and said it was not cilantro. I took a sip and quickly determined there was cilantro in the pho. When I tried to get my server's attention, as he was standing in back of the counter, he saw me and haughtily turned away. So, I took the pho up to counter and asked that my order be remade. To Caphe's credit, Caphe did correctly remake my order.. But the pho broth was brown and had an odd canned flavor. It just wasn't very good.

Great food and service! Got the spring rolls, crab wontons, and pad Thai-added in pork! We dined…read moreoutside since we had a dog with us and the staff brought us water for him, they were so friendly! The pad Thai was delicious but the star of the show was the crab wontons!! Tasted like it had a lot of crab, and couldn't get enough of them! The ambiance sitting right by the turf by the water was stunning. We will be back!

My sisters were in town for the weekend, and after a full day at the spa and shopping in Old Town,…read morewe decided to try Mai Thai. For the record, we arrived after 10 PM, so I want to be fair about the timing but if you're open and serving, the experience should still meet a reasonable standard. Unfortunately, ours didn't. Seating was confusing from the start. No one greeted us at the entrance or hostess stand, we were directed upstairs, and again no one greeted us. We eventually had to flag someone down just to get seated. The calamari looked and tasted as though it had been sitting for days chewy and rubbery. None of us liked it, so we sent it back. No replacement was offered, and it still appeared on our bill until we asked to have it removed. My cashew chicken had the same not-fresh taste. One sister had the peanut chicken and barely touched it, while my other sister said her tofu Pad Thai was decent. The cocktails were mediocre, and once they were finished, no one asked if we'd like another. Our water was refilled, but otherwise there was very little checking on our table. Even the sauces and peppers we requested smelled and tasted stale.

After a few misses on King Street, we decided to give Saigon Roll a try, and we're so glad we did…read more We ordered the Beef Pho and the pork vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and fried spring rolls. Both were excellent. My vermicelli bowl was the standout--perfectly seasoned grilled pork with just the right amount of spice, fresh vegetables and herbs, crispy spring rolls, and the perfect balance of noodles and toppings. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The pho was just as good, with a rich, comforting broth and tender beef that really hit the spot. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and simple--nothing fancy, just a welcoming place that lets the food shine. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back. If you're craving fresh, flavorful Vietnamese food in Old Town Alexandria, Saigon Roll is absolutely worth a stop.

Service was quick and the server was friendly. There was no wait and I came here around 2:30pm in…read morethe afternoon during the week. Food was just 4/5. I had to take off 1 star because although the pho was delicious with flavor and good proportion of meat to noodles, the Vietnamese iced coffee was too sweet and the rolls I ordered to go were just okay to me in regards to taste and flavor. Overall, if you're craving pho, this is your spot but for the other items, I wasn't blown away. The restaurant was clean with a lot of seating. There's a lot of street parking available.

Union Sandwich - It's peanut butter and jelly for Bill Lewis of Vero Beach, Florida.

Union Sandwich

Great little sandwich shop!…read more It's very popular at noontime. I took a break from my 4 hour long painting class upstairs in the Torpedo Factory to snag a bite. My timing was good, because I arrived right before a work group of maybe 10 people or so came into place their orders. In addition to a substantive sandwich menu, which includes both hot and cold sandwiches, there's plenty of beverage (including wine) and snack selections. Wearing an oil paint-smudged apron (FYI: the reality is that you're still going to get paint on your clothes even wearing an apron), I aptly ordered the Torpedo Artist. The Torpedo Artist is a hot Panini-like sandwich. You can select your type of meat, cheese and toppings. By default it includes lettuce, sweet peppers and deli oil. My sandwich was well-crafted with plenty of turkey and Swiss cheese. However, I didn't especially like this sandwich. I wish I had asked them to hold the deli oil because it was overly pungent with oregano. All I could taste in my sandwich was oregano. But older and wiser now, I know in the future that if I have them hold the deli oil, I'll end up with a great and tasty sandwich.

A fantastic sandwich location. I love a good sandwich!…read more I was able to place an order for pick up just before I got on the train to head back. Brilliant! I will definitely for this again on my next trip. I ordered a BLT on multigrain, and a PBJ w/honey drizzle on sourdough. The PBJ is off the kids menu. I'll ask for extra peanut butter and jelly so it's to my liking. I couldn't tell if there was honey on it, it could have been. The BLT was fantastic. I loved that it was not oiled high with all the ingredients. A simple sandwich. It fit the bill and didn't over fill me. A true classic. The multi grain bread was the best! I need to find out where that is from. It was that good. I hope I'm able to try the tuna fish and the egg salad sandwiches sometime they look delish! The staff were quiet, but got the job done. There is a small bar like area to eat in, and outdoor tables in a covered area to enjoy your sandwich.
